Softbank Safran, led by Mr. Yan Yan and his partners, currently manages investment funds with a total scale of nearly 4 billion US dollars, including several US dollar and RMB funds. It is one of the largest venture capital and growth enterprise investment funds in Asia. Safran manages funds from top investors in the world, including famous European and American university investment funds, public pension funds, family trust funds and other institutional investors.
The relationship between Softbank and Softbank Safran;
1. Simply put, Softbank Group is a software banking group company, and Softbank China is the son of Softbank Group, helping his father make the strategic layout of China investment. Safran used to be the son of Softbank Group, but he no longer recognized Softbank Group as his father, thus dissolving the father-son relationship.
2. At the beginning, Softbank Safran and Softbank China were both subsidiaries of Softbank Group.
3. Softbank China and Softbank Asia. Softbank China was established in 2000, mainly for the strategic investment layout of Softbank in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, while Softbank Asia, also known as Softbank Safran, was established on 200 1, which was jointly funded by Softbank and Cisco USA, and was mainly used to invest in Asian enterprises.
But now SoftBank Safran no longer belongs to SoftBank Group. Why? Because several China directors of Softbank Safran wanted to make investment decisions, they flew out alone in the second fundraising, and Masayoshi Son, the founder of Softbank Group, also withdrew from Safran.
5. So now, SoftBank Group is a software banking group company, SoftBank China is the strategic layout for SoftBank Group's son to help his father invest in China, Safran was once SoftBank Group's son, but he no longer recognized SoftBank Group as his father, thus dissolving the father-son relationship.
