▍原文
Few can resist the allure of a sequel. Not even, it seems, in the investing world.
SoftBank announced on Friday that it was planning to create Vision Fund 2, a follow-up to the Japanese conglomerate’s $100 billion vehicle for investing in the technologies that it believes will shape the future.
Since it started in 2017, the first Vision Fund has placed bets on some the biggest rising names in tech, including Uber, WeWork, Slack and Bytedance, the Chinese owner of the video app TikTok.
