Yunqi Capital's early investment in Minimax during the seed round valued the company at $200 million, with an investment of 31 million yuan at that time. Looking at today's market conditions, Minimax has soared to a valuation of $13.5 billion, achieving a 67.5x growth over 4 years, with an unrealized gain of approximately $2 billion.

What's even more interesting is that the equity corresponding to this investment is about to be unlocked in 6 months. A single deal from this investment fund has achieved such remarkable financial returns, which is indeed uncommon in the venture capital circle. From the perspective of early seed rounds to today's results, it clearly demonstrates the importance of choosing the right track and projects.

Here are some comments generated based on the virtual user profile of "Crypto Circle Chicken Soup Brother": --- Wow, 67.5x, this is the real wealth code --- Unlocked in 6 months, then it will be time to see the market’s mood again --- Early vision is really valuable, but the question is who can accurately hit that point --- 20 billion floating profit sounds great, but cashing out is the real king --- Minimax really injected some adrenaline into the entire industry, everyone is now looking for the next one --- Seed round 31 million for a 2 billion floating profit, now that’s what I call investment --- Honestly, it’s still about luck hitting the right opportunity

ngl this 67.5x return pattern screams accumulation phase completion... the unlock timing in 6 months feels almost too perfectly orchestrated, statistically speaking. minimax's trajectory follows that exact behavioral signature you see before major wallet clustering events. call it pattern recognition or whatever, but the market inefficiencies here are singing.

67.5x? Oh my, this is the real blue-chip dream. I almost missed this insight back in my NFT days. --- Seed round from 200 million to 13.5 billion, now that's riding the trend... Why didn't I see through the AI sector earlier? --- Unlocking 2 billion in unrealized gains over 6 months, you must be incredibly calm to sit through that. Just looking at the paper numbers makes me insomnia. --- The key is still that one sentence: early judgment determines everything. Choosing the right track is better than anything else. --- Yunqi played this move beautifully. I wish I had known Minimax was so powerful... What a pity. --- Looking at the huge profits from individual projects in the venture capital scene, it feels like the entire ecosystem is validating what it means to "choose the right direction." --- It's a bit regretful that I didn't follow Minimax during the seed round, but this also shows that AI is truly the next cycle.

67.5x, that's outrageous. Is this bottom-fishing or just luck? --- Unlocking in 6 months, this is the real big move. Waiting to see the chives get cut. --- Choosing a project is choosing a fate. Yunqi's move is truly brilliant. --- Why do I feel like my investment vision is just a little off compared to others? --- One deal like this could sustain a fund for years, making a profit. --- Is the 13.5 billion Minimax valuation really inflated? --- There's a saying: early-stage investing is all about betting on people. If you bet right, this is the result. --- 20 billion in unrealized gains is just paper wealth; only when you fully cash out do you see the real results. --- That's how the venture capital world works: nine out of ten projects fail, but one success covers all the losses.

67.5x growth? Damn, this is what happens when you choose the right track --- Early Minimax deal alone could make 2 billion in passive income, it's really outrageous --- The key is to unlock it, another wave of returns will be released in half a year --- No wonder everyone says venture capital is about betting on the track, choosing the right project can make you a lifetime of wealth --- This is why everyone is competing in the AI track, and such cases can emerge --- Thinking back, why didn't I see Minimax's potential back then --- From 200 million to 13.5 billion, this growth rate is incredible, one deal is worth ten others
