"独立，才是指向发展原动力'钱'的唯一路径。" "中国VC就不存在严格意义上的合伙人。"书中有这样一句断言。这不是贬损，而是现实。在美国，Benchmark以5 人小团队、平权决策、均分利润的模式，投出了Uber、Twitter等明星项目，成为VC界的信仰。 而在中国，尽管每家机构都叫"合伙人"，但绝大多数机构仍然有一个核心话事人。即便是最崇尚"硅谷精神"的机 构，也难逃"一个人说了算"的命运。 为什么呢？"中国盛产'强人'，喜欢'宁当鸡头，不当凤尾'。" 即便是最早引入西方合伙制理念的鼎晖投资创始人吴尚志，也在访谈中坦言："没有一个人会比所有人都强，但如 果没有一个人主导就很乱。" 而更深层的原因，是利益分配机制的不成熟。一位头部基金的合伙人，凭借一个广为人知的大平台案例，拿到过 一笔千万美元级的奖金——这被同行称为"中国VC打工人的天花板"。 如果你问一个中国风险投资人，他的终极梦想是什么？答案很可能不是"成为合伙人"，而是——独立。 从阎焱、王功权，到韩彦、潘攀，再到今天无数默默出走的投资经理，"单飞"几乎成为中国VC行业一条不成文的 职业终局。而这背后，是中国式合伙人制度的全面溃败。 有人说，中国VC ...

Investment Rating - The report indicates a cautious outlook on the AI infrastructure investment in the U.S., suggesting a potential mismatch between investment pace and demand [2][20]. Core Insights - Since 2025, the U.S. AI infrastructure has entered a phase of "ultra-high-speed expansion + high-leverage support," with major companies raising approximately USD 93 billion, surpassing the total of the previous three years [2][20]. - The capital expenditure on AI data centers is being revised upward, but the revenue and cash flow from the end market have not yet aligned with this accelerated investment pace, indicating a potential risk of over-investment [2][20]. - The report emphasizes that while the long-term demand for AI as a general-purpose technology is likely to absorb most infrastructure investments, the timing of this demand realization is critical [15][23]. Summary by Sections 1) **Funding Side: Transition from High Profitability to High Capex** - Major tech companies have significantly increased their bond market financing, raising about USD 93 billion since 2025, which is expected to lead to over USD 5 trillion in cumulative capital expenditure on AI-related data centers over the next decade [4][20]. - The shift in funding structure indicates a move from "high profitability + low leverage" to "high Capex + high leverage," with debt financing becoming more prevalent [4][20]. 2) **Short-term Outlook (1-2 years)** - The market shows tolerance for high capital expenditure and rapid leveraging, characterized by front-loaded funding and Capex, while revenue and cash flow lag behind [5][21]. - Early investments are seen as beneficial for securing scarce resources and competitive advantages [5][21]. 3) **Medium-term Outlook (3-5 years)** - If the rollout of high-ARPU scenarios is slower than expected, the earlier intensive investments may lead to pressure on balance sheets, with risks of valuation repricing and asset price corrections [6][22]. - The report warns of potential structural pressures on profitability due to increased price competition and underutilization of resources [6][22]. 4) **Long-term Outlook (5-10 years and beyond)** - The demand for AI is expected to gradually absorb most infrastructure investments, but the mismatch in investment and demand realization could lead to a concentration of returns among a few participants who effectively match investment with demand [7][23]. - The report highlights the importance of companies being able to convert heavy investments into high utilization and stable cash flows to maintain market share and pricing power [7][23]. 5) **Demand Side: Competitive Landscape and Pricing Pressure** - The competitive landscape is characterized by converging differences among AI models, leading to increased price competition and pressure on profit margins [10][11]. - The emergence of low-cost, high-performance models is expected to further compress pricing power for mainstream closed-source models, impacting the overall revenue growth in the AI infrastructure sector [10][11]. 6) **Investment Strategy: Transition from AI Beta to Structural Alpha** - The report suggests that the investment logic in AI-related assets should shift from merely betting on "AI Beta" to focusing on the matching of investment and demand, utilization rates, pricing power, and quality of free cash flow [17]. - The ability to navigate the credit and capital expenditure cycles will be crucial for companies to achieve sustainable returns in the long term [17].
