Recently, a well-known investor was asked a highly anticipated question during an interaction with netizens on a social platform. A netizen wrote: "Da Dao, Liang Wenfeng is really amazing! Will you consider participating in his technology company in the future?" Duan Yongping's reply was straightforward: "I haven't invested in large models yet, but I hope my junior brother succeeds."
Public information shows that Duan Yongping and Liang Wenfeng both graduated from Zhejiang University and are alumni. People familiar with the industry know that Duan Yongping has repeatedly publicly praised Liang Wenfeng in past interviews, once stating, "In the AI era, it's impossible to beat Liang Wenfeng at stock trading; retail investors who trade short-term will eventually lose everything," and highly recognized the vision of Liang Wenfeng's team, evaluating them as "people who pursue something 'above profit'."
The latest capital movements have added context to this conversation. Liang Wenfeng's AI company, DeepSeek, recently announced a major financing news, with plans to launch a second round of 50 billion yuan in financing, with a pre-money valuation of 500 billion yuan. In April of this year, DeepSeek had just completed its first round of 50 billion yuan in financing, with the founder Liang Wenfeng personally investing 20 billion yuan. However, some reports mentioned that Liang Wenfeng's quantitative investment business faced pressure in July, with multiple products turning from positive to negative returns this year.
