Chapter 83 Sequoia Capital and KPCB

"It seems that there are two remaining, right?"

Abel looked at John Dole and Bick Jean.

"Did the two of you give up."

They certainly did not give up.

Only the 13 venture capital companies in front.It is too high to frame them.

After the Carlyle Investment Group's representative of the dung stick raised the price to 16.1 billion US dollars.

Sequoia Capital and KPCB are embarrassed.

16.1 billion valuation.

10% is as high as $1.61 billion.

20% is even as high as US$3.22 billion.

It's not that both of them can't get such a sum of money.

It's just now the potential of Bluestar's future and [Bluestar One].They only learned from the Taishan Beidou of the environmental protection circle, that is, the scientists who participated in the press conference.

Specific real ability and upper limit.

Now only Bluestar Future and Oasis Investment is clear.

I am delighted to invest right.

But in case the investment is wrong.

Losses of billions of dollars.Even for these funds that manage tens of billions of assets, it is a pain that cannot be lost.

Don't you?

It doesn't seem to work either.

Many investors present have already bid.Only KPCB and Sequoia Capital did not bid.

Speaking out will make people doubt the economic situation of the two companies.

Just ignore the reputation issue in this regard.

They also need to consider now if they don’t make an offer.Will Oasis Investment close the window for them in the future?

Think about it.Bick Jean glanced at the old opponent opposite.

John Dole is also watching him.

He also smiled and said: "You can take priority."

Bick Jean frowned.

Priority at this time has advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that if you quote the right price yourself.You can get the favor of the other party first.Increase opportunities for financing and capital injection.

The disadvantage is that if the other party can quote a price higher than himself.

Then I will become passive here.

Gritted his teeth.Bick Joan chose to take a gamble: "20 billion! Sequoia Capital is willing to value 20 billion! Inject 10% into the future of Bluestar!"

His voice fell.Aroused the attention of many investors.

20 billion valuation words.A 10% capital injection would cost US$2 billion.

2 billion dollars!

This investment is not unimportant.The prices quoted by these investors have been high and low.

But the final capital injection did not exceed 1.5 billion U.S. dollars.

Now Sequoia Capital has raised this funding limit to US$2 billion.

It really deserves to be the No. 1 Sequoia Capital!The investment over the past ten years has been too successful.

This makes Sequoia Capital's private equity funds easy to sell.Plus the profit of the fund.Sequoia Capital’s liquidity is likely to be the highest among the many venture capital firms present.

And if according to this valuation of Sequoia Capital.

Bluestar Future is such a small company that is unknown in the past.

Will instantly become the world's second most valuable private company.

The highest valuation is $21 billion.That is the rocket company of Elon Musk.

Originally, investors saw Bick Joan after reporting this valuation.

What should be expected next is the offer of Sequoia Capital’s current biggest rival, KPCB.

But when Sequoia Capital revealed a valuation of US$20 billion.Everyone gave up looking at John Dole.

The valuation of 20 billion US dollars!

Can KPCB still report higher?!You know the most valuable private company in the world, Elon Musk’s Rocket Company.At the beginning of the financing, the valuation and market value were not so high.

It is under the gradual financing of many investors and giants.Slowly grow, slowly put forward products and experiments, and only this year has such an exaggerated valuation.

However, it is only the first valuation for Bluestar in the future.It's still a long time since the listing.If the valuation is higher.At the time of listing, how many times should the market value be to recover the investment?

They all looked at Abel at once.

See how Abel reacted to this valuation.

As for John Dole and KPCB.

Next time!

But investors saw that Abel waved his hand at Bick Jean: "Mr. KPCB seems to have something to say. Listen to him."

"Ok?"

"..."

Everyone turned their heads to look at John Dole again.

I can only see the faint self-confidence on John Dole's face: "That's right. Mr. Sefrosa. KPCB will be your most well-funded partner."

See the expression of the old opponent.Bick Jean suddenly felt bad in his heart.

Maybe the next moment.John Dole said lightly: "KPCB is willing to spend $3.165 billion. Inject capital to get 15% of Bluestar's shares in the future."

"KPCB is the most well-funded company in the venture capital industry. At the same time, no one in the Federation has a good relationship with major university alliances like us."

"On this basis. KPCB will definitely be Mr. Sefrosa's best partner!"

John Dole smiled and finished.

His quotation made the investors who had calmed down again in their hearts.

3.165 billion US dollars.

15% of the shares.

An investor with fast mental arithmetic.After quickly calculating.Surprised and called out: "3.165 billion US dollars! 15% of the shares. Then the valuation will be as high as 21.1 billion US dollars!"

"hiss……"

"Super... surpassed Elon Musk?!"

"Yes! SpaceX now only has 21 billion U.S. dollars!"

"How can this Blue Star in the future..."

"..."

Piccolo stood up and stared at John Dole on the opposite side.

John Dole smiled at him: "We are KPCB. Think about who invests in us!!"

What does it mean?

Bick Jean was taken aback.Then quickly reacted.KPCB is a giant in the venture capital industry.It is also the school property manager and operator of major universities in the federal territory, and even some famous schools in the world.

In other words, KPCB mainly makes money for major universities.What Harvard University, Yale University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, New York University, etc.These schools have invested part of KPCB.

KPCB manages money bags for major universities.Naturally, it has a very good relationship with major universities.

That being the case.Then the relationship between KPCB and many academic giants in the academic world will not be so bad.Even many scientists trust KPCB for financial management.

Bick Jean reacted immediately.

KPCB is very optimistic about the future of Bluestar!It may be that those scientists and famous universities are also optimistic about the future of Blue Star!!

Do not!Do not!Do not!

There is another possibility.

Bick Jean screamed inwardly.

John Dole is scamming me!Deliberately put forward such a high price.Let me drive up the valuation.So that Sequoia Capital will bleed more!

This is also a possibility.

Now these two possibilities.Putting Bick Jean into a dilemma, he began to hesitate.

Should we keep up with KPCB?It may be a trap.But if it is not a trap.My own responsibility is great.

For a time she was completely unable to make a decision.

John Dole looked at his old opponent in confusion.Smile indifferently.Then he looked at Sefrosa confidently.

"Mr. Sefrosa."

"I think you can announce the results."

"KPCB will definitely be your best partner!"
