Chapter 48 Gossip among investors

Young is a veteran figure in the domestic investment circle. From 1996 to 1999, he worked at Soros Fund in New York and assisted in the management of the Quantum Industrial Holdings hedge fund with an amount of US$30 billion.

As a senior investor, he won the honor of "Forbes Best Venture Capitalist" last year.

The experience of investing in Kechuangbio this time is far more exciting and exciting than "Forbes Best Venture Capitalist".

What he regrets the most is also from Kechuang Biology, regretting why he did not participate in the first round of investment.

Due to the IPO of Kechuang Biotech and the raging overseas epidemic, Young has spent most of this year in Shenhai.

IDG's office in Shenhai is on Jinling West Road in Jing'an District, and Young is chatting with Stephanie from Goldman Sachs.

They are both investors in the Kechuangbio project, and they have been in close contact recently.

Young paced in the office: "When I invested in the B round of Kechuangbiology, I had a hunch that it would become the most successful project I have ever handled."

"It's just that I didn't expect it to succeed far faster than I imagined. I never thought that I would not be willing to go public with the company I invested in. I hope it will go public later so that I can burn more money."

The projects that Young has participated in and invested in include iQiyi, Bilibili and other star unicorns in the market.

But when investing in these companies, listing is the end point.

Stephanie was helpless: "Who would have thought that Kechuang Biology would go on the market so early? With Zheng Li's leadership, the value of the brain-computer interface is far beyond that."

"Recently, the metaverse is blowing in the primary and secondary markets, and the value of scientifically innovative creatures can only be fully reflected in the metaverse."

At this time, NFT has become popular, and a purely digital work of NFT has fetched a sky-high price of nearly 7000 million yuan.

The metaverse wave that started from the currency circle has affected the venture capital industry, and more and more startups claim to be in the metaverse.

Goldman Sachs executives like Stephanie got the news much earlier than the outside world. She knew that Facebook and Google were going to enter the Metaverse.

"Kechuang Biology is about to go public after its B round of investment. None of us can meet Zheng Li, and no one can persuade him to postpone the listing."

"As long as he is still in Sci-Tech Biology, we will keep following him."

Young shook his head helplessly: "Who isn't? The person in charge of our IDG office in Lion City wants to see Mr. Zheng, but Mr. Zheng never sees him."

"According to our news in the Lion City, Mr. Zheng stays in the laboratory every day and does not go out. He does not need to socialize or entertain. He is a genius completely immersed in his own world."

Stephanie chuckled and said: "I heard something before. After Zheng Li went to the Lion City, the rich families in the Lion City were very happy. A top talent like Zheng Li."

"Using Hua Guo's words, it's still a rich generation, worth more than [-] billion yuan, and there is no family constraint behind it. It is a perfect marriage partner."

"Several families in Lion City have legitimate daughters of the right age, and they want to invite Zheng Li to participate in a dance party. The main purpose is to make connections."

"Zheng Li didn't go there even once. Later, when the Lion City National University held an honorary doctorate conferring ceremony for Zheng Li, a family specially arranged for the prostitute daughter to attend."

"As a result, after chatting for a few words, Zheng Li explained the underlying principles of brain-computer connection technology to others. The eldest lady has never seen such a posture before. She doesn't understand at all and pretends."

"After the lecture, Zheng Li asked her a few questions. If it was a business question, the eldest lady might still be able to answer it. If the question was about a certain statistical algorithm, the eldest lady could not answer it at all."

"After a brief chat, it was said that Zheng Li was vaguely contemptuous of his IQ. After returning home, the eldest lady said that she would never see Zheng Li again. Going to see him once made her doubt her IQ."

Women are usually very gossip, even in Shen Hai, thousands of miles away, Stephanie can still find out about the gossip in Lion City.

Young couldn't help laughing: "If my daughter is of the right age, I would also like to marry her to Mr. Zheng."

"It's really not easy for a rich man like Mr. Zheng to be so innocent and only have scientific research in his life."

"For wealthy families like Lion City, Mr. Zheng's wealth is secondary, and his genes are the most important."

"For Mr. Zheng, money is not that important. According to our observation, the most important thing for him is to ensure a quiet and high-quality research environment and do what he wants to do."

"We don't have any means to interfere with Mr. Zheng's decision, and we don't need to interfere with his decision. As long as he maintains such efficient and reliable research and development capabilities, we can always hold the stock of Kechuang Bio."

Stephanie nodded and said: "Yeah, he really doesn't value these things. If it were me, the patent for brain-computer connection alone would be enough to re-register a company."

"He put the patent of brain-computer connection to the new company, and we can't do anything about him, which is reasonable and legal."

"Including when I had a remote video conference with him, I mentioned implicitly that Kechuang Bio can adopt the VIE structure to register a company in the Cayman Islands, and then go to the US stock market or Hong Kong stock market for listing."

"I was afraid that Mr. Zheng wouldn't understand, so Mr. Lei explained it to him in detail later, but Zheng Li just calmly said that he didn't need it. Even if it would bring him huge benefits."

There is no tax on holding stocks in China, but you have to pay taxes when you trade stocks to realize cash.

Young: "Mr. Zheng is now in the Lion City. People from all walks of life in the Lion City have repeatedly said that if he wants to immigrate to the Lion City, they will give the green light. Mr. Zheng also did not agree."

Any news in the top investment circle circulates very quickly, especially for Zheng Li, as the absolute controller of the largest unicorn company in the market in recent years, various news about him have been active in this circle.

For example, Li Miaomiao was only 20 years old and could become the executive vice president of Science and Technology Biotechnology. Various gossips emerged one after another. Li Shuyao had heard a lot in CICC, but she didn't tell Li Miaomiao.

Young continued: "You must know that Mr. Zheng's business is to B, and he doesn't need to consider public opinion. Kechuang Bio is not a to C company, and public opinion has no influence on him."

The full name of To B is To Business, which means that my customer group is mainly corporate customers; the full name of To C is To Consumer, which means that my customer group is mainly individual customers.

This is a very common saying in the Internet circle.

Even for endorphins, Kechuang Biotech sells to major hospitals and channels, not to individual customers.

Stephanie: "He is a very simple and special person. Every time I communicate with him, he hits the nail on the head on any issue, but it always makes people feel that he lives in his own world."

Young agrees with Stephanie's feelings, and everyone who has come into contact with Zheng Li has similar feelings: "It is precisely because he has been living in his own world that he can always produce excellent results."
