Zhu Lihua basically finished what she needed to report, and Sun Dahai exchanged some views on investment with Zhu Lihua.
Zhu Lihua is a B student at Harvard and has a serious academic background. Sun Dahai understands many concepts and development directions in future investment.
The two of them were inspired by each other during the exchange, and both gained a lot.
"By the way, when I was working on blue ocean projects in Silicon Valley, I received a lot of investment applications because I branded myself an investment company.
These are the ones I feel are good. Take a look, are they more in line with the investment philosophy you just mentioned?"
While talking, Zhu Lihua took out several applications from her big schoolbag and showed them to Sun Dahai.
Sun Dahai took the information and asked casually: "I told you last time that there is a computer sales company in Houston. The boss is Michael Dell. Have you found it?"
"I found it. The name of his registered company is Computer Company. I sent someone to Houston to check and found out.
This company was registered four years ago. Its business model is to purchase computer parts, assemble them, and then sell them to users.
Last year, Dell's sales reached one million US dollars. However, with their business model, they earn the difference between wholesale and retail prices, so profits are relatively low. The gross profit is ten to fifteen points, and the net profit is only five or six points.
The people I sent have contacted Michael Dell, and he is not opposed to our taking shares, but the price and the share of shares to be transferred have not been reached yet.
The last offer I made to Dell before I came back was US$3 million for 10's shares, or US$5 million for 15's shares. The other party was considering it.
After the Spring Festival, I will go to Houston in person to conclude the negotiations as soon as possible and complete the investment.
By the way, I was just about to ask you. Dell was established not long ago, and its business scope and business volume are very large. How did you know about this company and want to become a shareholder?"
“I know a pen pal who is of mixed race, his mother is Chinese, and his father is an analyst for a Wall Street fund.
Dell was recommended to me by his father. Their fund mainly invests in large projects such as machinery and mining, and does not do small projects like Dell."
Sun Dahai has long been prepared to take the blame, and hopes that Andrew and his family will not scold him.
Sun Dahai's reason was very strong, and Zhu Lihua's doubts were immediately dispelled.
Seeing that Sun Dahai was having difficulty reading English materials, she followed his pace and gave him a brief introduction.
"Andy Medical Equipment is a newly established company that mainly develops and produces emerging special equipment for interventional surgeries.
They have a relatively large demand for funds and hope to exchange 20% of their shares for US$1 million.
Now it’s talking about $16.5 million, I guess it’s almost to their bottom line.”
"Morsefield Software Studio, their office is in Silicon Valley, very close to our blue ocean. They have almost a dozen engineers who make data software and make a living by outsourcing B tasks.
Negotiations with them have basically been completed, US$2 million in exchange for 25% of their shares.”
"The Kostak Electronic Components Factory produces computer memory and is quite large. They needed funds to increase their production lines and acquire some key technologies, so they found us.
They initially offered a price of US$36 million to sell 15 shares, and now they have negotiated US$30 million, which is basically settled, and I can sign the contract when I return."
Julie hired several local people as assistants in the United States. When she came back for the Spring Festival, the Americans continued to work.
"The projects currently being carried out that are over one million U.S. dollars are basically these. There are seven more projects that are less than one million U.S. dollars, so I won't introduce them to you one by one here. After the signing is completed, we will unify them.
Report to you." Zhu Lihua pointed at the information and said to Sun Dahai.
Sun Dahai nodded. For him, there is really no need to personally inquire about projects under one million US dollars. According to Zhu Lihua's investment amount of US$500 million, there will be many small projects, and Sun Dahai is too lazy to take care of them.
"You have to take care of the rest. Dell needs to work hard. The price can be raised a little more and we try to get as many shares as possible.
I plan to hold Dell's shares for a long time. So you can also add some conditions, such as not transferring the shares we hold within five years.
Also, we need co-investment rights, this is very important, it must be included in the contract, and the shares cannot be diluted at will."
Sun Dahai said while casually looking through the information on those small projects.
"Okay, I understand." Julie replied.
Suddenly, Sun Dahai seemed to see a familiar name. He quickly turned back the page of information he had turned and read it carefully.
Sure enough, Sun Dahai was right. The company on this page is actually the famous SSS, n.
"What is going on?" Sun Dahai asked Zhu Lihua, pointing at the page of information with slightly trembling fingers.
Zhu Lihua was very familiar with her business. She took a look and replied casually: "Canadian Whitefish Systems Company is a small company established at the end of 2014. The founder is Leonard Posa, director of the Computer Center of the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University.
Gram and his wife.
The couple were both engaged in computers and developed a campus device called a multi-protocol router for the school. They established this company to produce this router and then sell it to Stanford University.
They are engaged in technology and do not like business. Now that the company has completed its mission, they want to sell the company together with the router patent.
They established this Canadian whitefish system company and spent half a million dollars on equipment and research and development. Later, they invested some more money, and now they want to sell it for one million dollars.
After listening to their introduction, I felt that this router was quite valuable, so I planned to buy it first, and when I acquire other companies that produce equipment in the future, I would package it and merge it into it."
After that, she also briefly introduced the principles and functions of some routers to Sun Dahai.
"Why is Canada Whitefish such a weird name?" Sun Dahai couldn't help but complain as soon as he started speaking.
"S means Canadian whitefish." Julie replied seriously.
"Forget it, according to the transliteration, let's call it Cisco from now on, Cisco Systems. This name is easier to pronounce."
"As you wish." Julie shrugged, indicating that it didn't matter.
Sun Dahai took out a pen and wrote the word "Cisco" in big letters in the blank space above the information.
Sun Dahai was satisfied.
He told Zhu Lihua: "This company must be focused on. I think routers, or products with such a concept, will definitely become mainstream in the market in the future."
Zhu Lihua nodded in agreement and said, "I think so too, so I'm going to buy this company at the price they offered."
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Sun Dahai waved his hands quickly to express his different opinions.11
