Chapter 29 Do it!

"Give it 5%. The valuation after the B+ round of investment is 240 billion. 5% is more than billion. We will sell it separately according to the proportion of shares. I think it is more appropriate and we should be able to negotiate."

"The specific number is actually not important, and there is no need to talk about it." Zhang Jian smiled:
"You have also seen the fact that Juaner Intelligent Technology gave us the 'Hardware Scheduling Intelligent AI Service' as a gift, and in the AI ​​field, it directly purchased our graphics cards.

"Even if we don't come out at all, it won't have any impact on the current situation. What I'm thinking about is, how can we tie 'curling ear smart technology' to us for ten years!
"You give 5% of the shares, okay, when we get up, Biren Technology will give half of it directly. Is it a wedding dress for others? Even if it is agreed that the 5% cannot be sold or transferred, what if the person doesn't want it? There is one point , Juaner Intelligent Technology will not sign an exclusive contract with us.

"As I said just now, we have a de facto cooperative relationship now, even if we don't pay anything, Curly Er now uses us as a springboard, do you understand?
"The key is, how can we maintain such a position for a long time and be tied to the ship that is moving forward for a long time. To put it bluntly, it is not others who want our shares now, it is us who have taken the pole to give them to others.

"So any valuation or value is useless. If it does, I won't contact you. It would be easier to go directly to the appraisal agency."

Zhang Jian paused and then said: "Actually, 5% is no problem, so just keep an eye on it, depending on the situation, and add more when necessary."

"This..." A group of VC representatives looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say. After so many years of venture capital investment, they had never seen anything like this.

But if you think about it carefully, you can understand: the GPU field, especially the full-featured GPU industry, is also a winner-take-all industry to a certain extent. It is amazing that there are three or five top companies in the world.

If Juaner Smart brings technology to cooperate with other companies, or starts a new business, with its technical strength, as a competitor here, the valuation will be cut in half in minutes - valuation is the most empty thing.

"No, you have to keep an eye on Juaner Smart Technology. Once it targets others or shows signs of making its own GPU, VC investment must follow immediately!"

The vision and choices of venture capital investors are surprisingly consistent, and more than one VC representative has even been secretly contacting his company.

It is recommended that you pay full attention to the news related to Juaner Intelligent Technology - when it comes to investment, you can invest in anyone. For cutting-edge technology projects with extremely high thresholds like this, they will even invest in every company in the industry, investing in all tracks.

And as long as any company in the industry can succeed, the investment will be profitable - this is actually the reason why the rich get richer. They can take all the tracks and only win but not lose.

……

Just looking at the performance of these people, Zhang Jian guessed what they were thinking. Capital is like this. But this also made him more and more determined to get "Juan Er" on his side. If it was there, it would be successful, but if it wasn't, it would be really unpredictable.

"Then let's do it dynamically, give 5% first!" Zhang Jian also made such a difficult decision. He knew that dynamic evaluation is similar to betting.

If you bet against the AI ​​technology of Juan Er Intelligent Technology, you will definitely lose. As Juan Er Intelligent Technology becomes stronger and stronger, you will definitely gain more and more.

It stands to reason that he is suffering a loss, but at the same time he is sharing the risk with others - if he really wants to give out a lot of shares at once, he is really not sure about this decision.

And Ji Hong would definitely be more happy to see this approach - he is a person who is extremely confident, especially in his own skills.

"I have no objection!" Ji Hong's reaction did not go beyond Zhang Jian's expectations. He even said, "You don't have to give 5% for now. Why don't you wait and see the effect of market sales?"

"No, no, no! Don't watch! We will sign the agreement immediately!"

Zhang Jian hurriedly refused, considering the effect, is there any need to look at it? With such a technical level, it can achieve the same performance as 3060, and it is also blessed by the aura of domestic products. If you don't do well in your own market, then just don't start a business, just go home and have your children! For Ji Hong, the agreement doesn't even matter. As long as the technical core is on his side, the initiative will always be there, and there is absolutely no need to worry.

But he also needs to build momentum: he has been very depressed these days. It has been almost ten days since he started recruiting people. Ordinary technicians are okay, but none of the big names have come, and there is no progress in professional managers. —It’s just a matter of whether the technology is great or not. After all, the company has only been started for less than a month, and its popularity is still low.

……

Both parties are interested and very urgent. The cooperation framework was quickly determined and the strategic cooperation agreement has been initialed. Some details and implementation rules will be refined later, and there will be no major differences between the two parties.

Three days later.

"We're ready here." Zhang Jian sent a message to Ji Hong: "The new version of the official driver has been tested and can be released at any time."

"Then send it." Ji Hong replied: "Publish it well and promote it nationwide. Don't hide the inventory. Release it all. E-commerce channels will release more goods. Haven't you already placed orders for TSMC? Okay, let’s make a big splash first and build a reputation first.

“I would suggest that we don’t promote China’s domestic products as being the best and building the most advanced GPU in the country. It seems that we are weaker than foreign countries, which is not very good.

"In the past, this was the reason why you were praised but not popular. Of course, at that time, the strength was indeed a bit inferior. But this time, we did not add any attributive words, but directly criticized Nvidia and AMD. We did not say anything and just did it!
“Up owners who play games, technology bloggers, game live broadcasts, etc. all get involved, directly upload the evaluation videos, and then sell hot searches, and the sales are huge!
"This battle will sound our attack horn, so don't hold back."

Ji Hong read Zhang Jianfa's slogan and was very dissatisfied. What does it mean to build the best full-featured GPU in China? Doesn’t this make people think that you are inferior to NVIDIA and AMD? Who will buy it with such propaganda?
Those who can choose to install the machine themselves are all very careful with their budgets. They all know how much the performance difference between two fans and three fans can be!

It's the best in the country and so on. It's okay if they support it verbally, but if it really costs money, it must be weighed carefully.

Zhang Jian's choice was indeed a bit conservative, but in fact it was not his fault. It was entirely due to his habitual thinking.

After all, in the field of chips, China is indeed lagging far behind, especially since Zhang Jian came from NVIDIA. He knows very well how powerful NVIDIA is.

Except for Huawei and HiSilicon, no domestic company has directly competed with foreign chip companies in a real way. It is understandable that it lacks confidence.

However, after listening to Ji Hong's words, Zhang Jian recalled the performance of his own graphics card in the test. He really shouldn't worry anyone - especially in the range of mid-range GTX1650~RTX4060, the price/performance ratio of MTT S80 is even Highest!

What about 4080 and 4090? There are loud shouts on the Internet, but in fact there are not many sales. A graphics card costs to yuan, and most people only have a total budget of to yuan for a computer.

You must know that not everyone is rich - a graphics card can be bought for 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and most people only have a total budget of 5,000 to 6,000 yuan for a computer.

For graphics cards, the largest sales volume in the installed market is actually in the price range of one thousand to two thousand yuan.

If we can capture this largest market...

Seeing Ji Hong's enthusiasm, Zhang Jian couldn't help but look forward to this wonderful future and made a decision: "Okay, I'll do as you say!"
