In July, the two companies Shi Lei invested in the United States entered the financing stage. Just when they each received their financing, Shi Lei transferred out the investment gold finger card and conducted a profit inquiry.

At this time, the company that was originally a low valuation had reached a valuation of more than 80 million US dollars. They got more than 8 million investments as they wished, and the acquisition process was not difficult.

Companies with higher valuations have reached a valuation of nearly US$700 million. The financing process is also quick to cut through the mess, and the execution ability is even higher than that of another company.

Shi Lei entered the name of the first company on the investment gold finger card and entered the investment amount of 8 million yuan. The query time was three months later.

The search result made Shi Lei feel overjoyed, because three months later, the investment of 8 million turned out to be about 15 million.

This means that by the settlement date, the company has increased by nearly 90% of its value.

On the last settlement day, the company's valuation was only more than 60 million US dollars, which means that Shi Lei's original investment would be worth more than 30 million US dollars on the October settlement day.

After deducting the $12.5 million achieved during the previous quota cycle, Shi Lei's investment increased by $17.5 million during this quota cycle.

After being exchanged for soft sister coins, this is already close to 120 million.

However, this joy is only temporary, because the basic profit point of this investment in this amount cycle will reach as much as 500 million.

Continue to enter the name of the company with a high valuation, and Shi Lei entered the investment amount of 70 million yuan, and the time was also set in three months.

What surprised Shi Lei was that after the numerical input this time, the interface of the investment gold finger card was stuck on the blank, just like a mobile phone suddenly lost the Internet and was searching.

After waiting for two or three minutes, Shi Lei still couldn't wait for the result. Shi Lei's brows frowned tightly.

Suddenly, Shi Lei's phone rang. He took out his cell phone and saw that it happened to be the person in charge of this company.

Shi Lei answered the phone.

The other party's voice was obviously a little excited, and Shi Lei could not understand a single word.

Shi Lei's English is pretty good, so there is no problem with normal communication, but this is not his native language after all. The other party said so strangely, Shi Lei was a little helpless.

"Don't be excited, what happened? I remember you should have just obtained the investment now and are about to sign an investment agreement?"

The other party was still making Shi Lei unable to understand. He seemed to hear someone cheering in the background.

Shi Lei had to ask patiently: "Calm down first. If you do this, I can't understand what you are saying. My English ability is limited, but I probably can't even understand what you say now, right?"

The other party took two deep breaths. Shi Lei found that all the sounds in the receiver had disappeared. It should be that the other party covered the microphone.

It took a full minute to go online again.

"Mr. Shi..."

Shi Lei smiled: "Is your emotions stable now?"

The other party said embarrassedly: "It's really exciting. We have been trapped in a technical point, and just a few minutes ago, that technical point had been conquered. Now our people are rushing to verify the calculations."

Shi Lei frowned and said, "The technical point has been broken. Do you mean that the product will be greatly improved?"

The other party took a deep breath and said, "Yes, if the verification result can be finally confirmed."

“How long does it take to verify it?”

"At least one day."

"Then call me this...?" Shi Lei seemed to know what the other party meant.

There was a pause again and said, "Once the breakthrough of this technical point has been passed, and after it is announced, our company's valuation will rise by at least 50%. So, we..."

The other party suddenly became hesitant and seemed unable to say anything.

Shi Lei had already learned about the other party’s thoughts and said, “So, the B round financing seems out of place, because do you think the company’s valuation can exceed one billion after breaking through this technical point?”

"Mr. Shi, if we regret it at the critical moment when we are about to sign an investment agreement and say that the company's valuation needs to be reviewed, will this be...?"

The other party was obviously hesitant. After all, the current valuation is 700 million yuan, and the amount of financing is 70 million US dollars. If it can really be as he said, because of the breakthrough of this technical point, the company's market value will increase by about 50%, then the company's valuation will suddenly exceed one billion.

This results in 10% of the share financing, which will reach more than 100 million US dollars, and there is a difference of 30 million US dollars in investment.

Shi Lei thought for a while and said, "Do you think the gap between the financing amount of $30 million is more important than the increase in the company's market value?"

The other party was silent for a moment and said, "But that's 30 million US dollars after all. With these 30 million, we can do a lot of things."

"But your credit system has also broken down, which will give you a very bad reputation in the investment circle. Of course, the agreement has not been signed yet, so it is normal to renege. However, I used to be an entrepreneur, and now as an investor, and this investment has no personal relationship with me. I personally think that a company with a good reputation system is much more important than the 30 million US dollars. My buddy, your goal is to eventually build the company into a company with a market value of 10 billion yuan or even higher, rather than focusing on this mere 30 million US dollars in financing."

The other party took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Shi, what should we do now? If we sign the contract like this, it will not add more credibility to the company."

Shi Lei nodded and said, "Tell the other party that the technical points you have been working on have finally made new breakthroughs. Therefore, everyone needs to invest in the verification of this research, and the signing time of the investment agreement needs to be delayed."

"Then what?"

"Then, when you pass the verification, this technical point is really conquered, and then continue to sign a contract with the other party. Remember, don't even need a penny, and these 30 million will become the beginning of a good reputation of the company."

The other party sighed and said in great confusion: "That's 30 million US dollars. These 30 million will at least delay the company's next round of financing for a few months."

Shi Lei understood that delaying financing for a few months means that the company still has money to operate, which means that the company's valuation will further grow.

"I'll tell you the truth. This is a story that I once had as an entrepreneur. You can decide what to choose for yourself." After that, Shi Lei hung up the phone.

At the same time, he also understood why investment in gold finger cards could not result in a long time, because black cards also need to be recalculated, and the valuation of this company will become higher due to this technological breakthrough. What is more important is that the helmsman of the company has not yet decided on the final choice. Whether to raise funds at a valuation of 700 million yuan or a valuation of 1 billion yuan that is possible, this will definitely have a great impact on the value of this company in three months.

This decision is to wait for the largest variable in the company's valuation in three months, even if it is omnipotent like a black card, and you still need to wait for this variable to become quantitative.

Shi Lei returned to the interface of investing in the gold finger card in his mind. He saw that the coordinate system was finally generated and the curve had already appeared. This means that the helmsman of the company made the final decision.
