Chapter 1521 Ways to Earn More Money
Niu Xiaoqiang thought to himself: Boston's educational resources are also very strong. Universities such as MIT and Harvard can cultivate a large number of top talents every year. What is relatively lacking may be investment funds and preferential policies from the local government. I might as well talk to Cohen when I go back. Let Bush have a good talk and let him persuade the city government to formulate some policies that are more conducive to entrepreneurship. With Boston's solid foundation, its future prospects may not be worse than those of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Niu Xiaoqiang has set up an angel fund, which can provide entrepreneurial funds for college students with entrepreneurial ideas. Although the probability of investment failure is high, as long as he successfully invests in a few large high-tech companies, Niu Xiaoqiang will make a fortune.

A very notable feature of high-tech companies is that they develop very fast. They may only be worth a few million dollars this year, but the value will soar to tens of millions of dollars in the coming year, and they may grow to be worth tens of millions of dollars in a few years. A mega-corporate of several $20 billion.

Just like Hewlett-Packard Computer Company, which was officially established at the end of the year before last, with total assets of only a few hundred thousand dollars.Only a little more than a year has passed, and the company's valuation has soared to more than 5000 million US dollars, which shows how fast high-tech companies are developing.

Of course, Hewlett-Packard currently only makes profits through OEM assembly, and does not have its own core technology.To be honest, it cannot be called a high-tech company.But this is only temporary. Niu Xiaoqiang has already formulated a complete development plan for Hewlett-Packard. As long as this plan is implemented step by step, Hewlett-Packard will surely reap greater glory in the foreseeable future.

Seeing Niu Xiaoqiang looking thoughtful while driving, Yu Simei couldn't help reminding: "Xiaoqiang, you are driving, don't let your mind wander."

Niu Xiaoqiang snorted, "Thank you for reminding us, we won't read it, and go directly to Stanford University."

Yu Simei nodded slightly, and asked curiously, "What were you thinking just now? So obsessed?"

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't hide anything, and said truthfully: "I was thinking of ways to earn more money just now."

Yu Simei's eyes lit up: "Have you thought about it? Can you tell me?"

Niu Xiaoqiang knew what Yu Simei wanted to do at a glance, he chuckled: "Sister Yu, do you want to join in? Unfortunately, the method I thought of is not suitable for you."

Yu Simei really has the idea of ​​hitchhiking, mainly because she wants to pay back Niu Xiaoqiang's money as soon as possible. As for the idea of ​​earning a lot of money and becoming a millionaire, it is not very attractive to Yu Simi .

Hearing that Niu Xiaoqiang said that this method was not suitable for her, Yu Simei was not disappointed. She let out a sigh and asked casually: "What is this method?"

Niu Xiaoqiang pouted at the people on the street: "Look at the houses along the street, do you find anything special?"

Yu Simei glanced at it and said, "Are you referring to those signs hanging on the door of the house?"

Niu Xiaoqiang hummed, and Yu Simei smiled and said, "I've seen these signs a long time ago, but because I don't know English, I can't understand what is written on them. Can you explain to me?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded and said: "These signs are all written with the company's name, and each sign represents a company. I am inspired by these signs and plan to increase venture capital for entrepreneurs in Boston. As long as I can reap a hundred One-in-one success rate, I can become a billionaire."

Yu Simei was taken aback: "Is there such an easy thing in the world?"

Niu Xiaoqiang explained the nature and profit method of angel funds in the United States, and then he said with a smile: "As long as I am lucky, I can invest in a company that will be very powerful in the future, and I can become a billionaire through holding shares. , This is just a little bit. If I say a lot, it is very possible for me to become a billion-dollar rich man."

Yu Simei's eyes widened, imagining in her mind what kind of concept is it to be a billionaire.After a while, Yu Simei suddenly realized something, and questioned: "Xiaoqiang, if things are really as simple as you said, why don't American investment funds do this? Don't they see the hidden meaning behind it?" huge gains?"

Yu Simei seldom questioned Niu Xiaoqiang's words. The question she raised at this moment made Niu Xiaoqiang quite happy: "Sister Yu, you have made great progress. You actually thought of this. In fact, many investment companies in the United States have established Angel funds, they have been operating the investment model I just told you just now, and many of them have achieved success. Of course, most of them have failed in investment. In the end, angel investment mainly depends on luck and foresight. As long as you are lucky, you can easily succeed, but if you are unlucky, you may suffer a [-]% failure rate, and the money invested is equivalent to wasted money.”

Niu Xiaoqiang paused when he said this, to give Yu Simei time to digest.

After a while, he continued: "As for vision, it requires a certain knowledge base and an overall view of the entire industry. The reason why many angel funds fail to invest is because the bosses of these companies don't know much about the relevant industries. Laymen, when choosing investment targets, they tend to pay more attention to their own ideas than to consider objective factors, so they are often more likely to fail."

Niu Xiaoqiang showed a confident smile when he said this: "I don't have these shortcomings. First of all, I am a professional, and then I have always had a good vision, so I think this way of getting rich is quite feasible for me."

Yu Simei never doubted Niu Xiaoqiang's personal ability, she nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Then I wish you success as soon as possible and become a super rich man."

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and said thank you, and then the two chatted all the way, and arrived near Stanford University two or ten minutes later.

Along the way, there are factories on both sides of the road. People who don’t know will definitely think that they are on the wrong road, because in everyone’s consistent impression, universities are set up in beautiful and peaceful places, and no one will gather in factories. to open schools.

Stanford University is an exception. This university was founded by an American couple to commemorate their son who died young, and has encountered a shortage of funds.

Later, in order to alleviate the shortage of funds for running the school, a principal put forward a proposal to support education with business.Specifically, it is to rent out the school's apprentices and obtain school running funds by collecting rent.Or you can start your own factories and use the money earned from these factories to support the running of schools.
