Global monopoly of technology

Friday, March 22.

The technology circle and capital circle are very hot on this day. Technology entrepreneurs from all over the country and more than 100 countries and regions in the world have rushed to the same city-Sioux City.

Today is the first day of this year's Shengfeng Capital Global Venture Capital Summit. The venue of the summit has taken more than two months to complete the layout. This is not only a venture capital summit, but also an exchange meeting for technology entrepreneurs, and also a Exhibition conference for high-tech applications.

Three words can perfectly interpret Shengfeng Capital Global Venture Capital Summit-Gao Da Shang.

That's right, it's tall.

Although it is an investment summit in name, capital cannot be the protagonist today. Technology is the absolute protagonist and protagonist of the summit.

...

Around eight in the morning, people from all walks of life who participated in the summit activities entered the venue one after another. The largest group was still popular technology enthusiasts, and most of them were young people. Most of them were young college students. Although today is Friday, Many people have skipped classes and have come to witness this technology event with their own eyes.

The second is the army of entrepreneurs. This is the main force. The Summit Capital Global Technology Venture Capital Summit is a holy place in the minds of many technology entrepreneurs. They dream of getting an angel round of financing to realize their dream of technology entrepreneurship from 0 to 1 set sail.

Then there are people in the capital industry. You must know that Luo Sheng is a weather vane of industry technology and a barometer of the economy. Every year's venture capital summit attracts VCs from all over the world to participate, and many VCs themselves pay large sums of money. It was given to Shengfeng Capital to invest and take care of it.

Another is the industry insiders in the technology circle. Every annual venture capital summit is regarded by the industry as the vane of technology and it is impossible not to come.

Finally, people in the media are naturally indispensable.

The number of participants in this summit set a record high, reaching more than 20,000 people.

Sioux City has gradually become synonymous with China's technology city and is widely known around the world. Its influence is just like that of North American California in Silicon Valley.

Known as the "Silicon Valley of the East", more and more start-up technology companies were born in Sioux City.

As for why this is the case, there is no need to elaborate.

At this moment, the summit site is already crowded with people, and the main venue is open in the open. Today’s weather is also very strong and the sky is clear.

For ordinary technology enthusiasts participating in this grand event for the first time, it seems to be participating in a three-day world's top and most cutting-edge technology expo event.

The most intuitive feeling when entering the venue is that there are screens everywhere, big or small everywhere, and the screens being screened give people the feeling that they are in the future world.

The domestic melon-eating people who came to the scene were all inexplicably proud and proud, especially some 30-year-olds, who never believed that all this happened in the mainland.

Ten years ago, if someone told them that there would be such a grand event in China, they would definitely think that they were daydreaming.

But today, it really happened in front of my eyes, all of which came from one name-Luo Sheng.

Some of the ordinary audience who participated in the conference for the first time on the scene were extremely excited. The conference has not yet started, and they are looking around. People of different colors and skins from different countries and regions and different professions are greeted, but most of them are in suits and shoes. Dress up.

The main stage ahead is the most dazzling, among which the most eye-catching are the three super giant screens, which are huge in area, each giant screen is equivalent to a standard basketball court and a little bigger.

People standing on the empty stage under the giant screen also looked extremely small.

style!

Those who come for the first time feel that the atmosphere is worth the fare. It is worth mentioning that the average admission fee for this summit is 827 yuan, and this place has won 17 million yuan worth of tickets. income.

Compared with the excitement of the Chinese people, the foreign media people can't stop marveling, even a bit sour and vinegar. They can hardly imagine that this is China.

It should happen in the developed European and American lands, and this kind of technological event should not happen in a developing country.

In fact, today's coastal areas in China are not much weaker than developed countries in Europe and America.

...

At 9:30 minutes, when a hot man appeared in the pictures of three huge giant screens, the scene of the conference suddenly rejoiced, and the spectacular scene can only be felt when it comes to the scene.

Needless to say, fans, even many people in the capital circle did not hesitate to offer cheers and applause, because Luo Sheng brought them a lot of money, and many VCs off the court were shareholders of Shengfeng Capital. Its private equity funds have paid a lot of money to Shengfeng Capital.

"Good morning, and everyone is welcome to join us. The number of participants in this year's venture capital summit hit the highest number ever, and it was the first time it exceeded 20,000. It is unique in the world. Thank you for your support."

Luo Sheng walked steadily towards the midfield of the stage, and at the same time made a simple opening. I can only say that the stage is a bit big, and he hasn't reached the midfield after the opening remarks.

At his home court, Luo Sheng always wore his standard IT boss outfit, and the weather was quite warm outside for a few days.

"Some people say that the AI ​​craze has ebbed. I haven't spoken yet. You said it has ebbed?"

As soon as this remark appeared, there was a burst of laughter, and many followers of the believers were refreshed when they heard it. Fans of eating melon who watched the live broadcast posted their "dominant" messages.

I am afraid that only Luo Shenghui is so "arrogant" in the industry, but he does have this arrogant capital. The artificial intelligence technology of his company is currently the leader in the industry and is synonymous with the word top.

"2013 is destined to be an extraordinary year for the industry. This year will not only be a year when the artificial intelligence craze will ebb, but will further set off a wave of artificial intelligence technology and investment, which is more turbulent than the previous wave, whether you are familiar with it. The well-known technology giants or start-ups will compete to tap the application potential of this technology in various fields. In this sprint competition that may only last for a few years, players from different fields will be on different tracks. Race to chase, this artificial intelligence competition, the ebb is just an illusion, in fact it has just started."

When the same words are spoken by different people, they have completely different meanings and different influences.

And these words from Luo Sheng's mouth will undoubtedly lift the spirits of practitioners and investors in the field of artificial intelligence. Even the number one technology leader of the contemporary era has said so firmly, which shows that the future of this field is promising. Immeasurable.

Who can be more authoritative than Luo Sheng?

Just when Luo Sheng said this, the A-share GEM index, artificial intelligence stocks rose sharply, and the stock market has been open for more than ten minutes. In the previous ten minutes, artificial intelligence stocks were originally The trend of falling all the way.

As a result, Luo Sheng's words directly rebounded and strengthened. It can be said that the phrase "industry weather vane, economic barometer" is interpreted to the extreme.

The market's degree of superstition towards Luo Sheng is almost blind.

However, Luo Sheng didn't know about the A shares, so he continued to say: "What has Shengfeng Capital done in the whole year of 2012? We invested a total of 18.9 billion US dollars, or about 118.5 billion yuan. . We have invested in 278 start-up technology companies worldwide, covering many popular areas such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing services, and IoT chips."

Entrepreneurs off the field were all envious of the 278 start-ups when they heard these words. This means that every start-up company received 67.98 million US dollars of investment from Shengfeng Capital last year, or about 4.2 yuan.

It can be called a trench without humanity.

But everyone is not surprised, let alone last year, let's say this quarter this year, Bluestar Technology does not move it is an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, investment in the level of tens of millions of dollars is the basic operation.

Can you really do whatever you want with money?

Next, a special reporter from the domestic media whispered to his partner with emotion: "I can finally understand why last year's Bluestar Technology lost the market share of the large-scale business in developed countries. The territorial expansion speed of the technology empire under the control of Luo Sheng It's too scary."

Nevertheless, at today's venture capital summit, foreign faces can be seen everywhere.

Obviously, this does not hinder the cross-border exchange of capital. Capital has no national boundaries. Wherever it can bring profits to them, they will go wherever they go. At the same time, entrepreneurs are the same. They need money, and whoever can invest will go wherever they can. .

"Today, I plan to select 12 of the 278 start-up companies that are representative of this year’s technology theme to introduce what we have done. Since the establishment of Shengfeng Capital, more than 2,730 companies have been invested. With these companies, we have laid out our own unique technological moat. These 12 start-up companies are also to further improve the business ecology of the two major groups, the Blue Coast and Bluestar Technology."

"For example, in the field of artificial intelligence, Shengfeng Capital has not only invested in upstream companies that specialize in algorithms, but also laid out downstream artificial intelligence solution providers, and investment in cloud computing services and chips is even more important. The large proportion, especially in the field of chips, all this demonstrates the determination of Bluestar Technology and the Blue Coast to create a technological moat in the digital age."
