In February 2021, Shanghai Belli, a leading provider of SaaS remote connectivity solutions in China, completed a new round of financing of $40 million within six months after the successful financing in July 2020. This round of financing was led by Hillhouse Venture Capital, followed by Tencent, and the old shareholder Gao Cheng Capital continued to invest, and Light Source Capital served as the exclusive financial advisor.

Two interesting things: First, Berry is less famous than its blockbuster product "peanut shell"; Second, Berry was born in 2006 and only had its first round of financing in 2020. In this regard, Chen Yuye laughed: "There has been no financing, because Berry has been making money."

The opening lines of Versailles are off the charts.

3 years, from technician to General Manager of business division

In 2000, Chen Yuye graduated from South China University of Technology majoring in Mechatronics. His internship was spent in Gree factory. For Chen Yuye, who was energetic and full of curiosity, the work in the machinery industry was closed and dull, so he chose to join the more dynamic IT industry and join the domain technology.

I never thought that his first job was more boring than the mechanical worker, called the maintenance department technician, the main job was only two: in Guangzhou to detect cats (modem), Chen Yuye self-deprecating "cat slave", "at that time, the Internet cat is most afraid of lightning strikes, Guangzhou thunderstorms, the next rain I will test hundreds of cats, one by one test who was struck by lightning"; On a business trip to switch routers and make optical fiber heads, "there were 5 days in the field of travel in 6 working days, at that time by hand to make and polish optical fiber heads, and it is very easy to scrap".

Confused and unsatisfactory day after day, the fate of the change unexpectedly met. One day after half a year, the network domain can be recruited to make a collection of drivers CD-ROM people, make a similar driver download a small website, zero website production experience Chen Yuye volunteered, relying on the rest time to light up the oil to learn to sell now, successfully completed the task.

It was a reckless act that changed his life forever. Next, the network domain entrusted Chen Yuye with the task of building the "Network world website". Relying on the delivery that exceeded the leader's expectations again and again, he realized the five-level jump of technician - supervisor - manager - director - division general manager in just 3 years.

The joy of successive promotions did not last long, and Chen Yuye encountered the first major setback of his career.

The peanut shell of a failed project

By 2021, Peanut Shell DDNS has served 18 million users around the world, and experienced IT practitioners should have heard of it. What is little known is that the peanut shell is not carefully conceived, it was born from a "big can not only keep small" defeat.
