Chapter 137

At 8:50 a.m. on Saturday, Li Mu came to Baidu's office in Yanjing, which is in rapid development and expansion. Even on weekends, hundreds of employees are working overtime. The technology and product departments of Internet companies are almost normalized. Li Mu has been used to it for a long time.

When the girl at the front desk heard that he had come to see Jack Zhou, she hurriedly took him to a meeting room. Jack Zhou had said hello to her before. Today, an important guest is coming to talk about cooperation. When someone comes, she needs to be informed as soon as possible.

Li Mu sat in the meeting room for just two minutes, and a man in his thirties, with a gentle appearance, a suit and leather shoes, and rimless glasses pushed in. When he saw Li Mu, the whole man was stunned. After a while, he came back and asked tentatively, "are you Mr. Li mu?"

Li Mu nodded, "it's me."

Jack was stunned.

Li Mu and Li Mu have communicated with each other on email several times. Combined with the two projects Li Mu runs, he speculated about Li Mu with his own intuition. He always felt that the age of this man must be between 30 and 35 years old, and he must have studied or even worked abroad. He may even have worked in a world-famous Internet company. However, he never dreamed of that, right Fang seems so young that he is only 20 years old?

Although surprised, Jack Zhou soon calmed down, shook hands with Li Mu warmly and politely said, "Mr. Li will wait a moment, and our VP will be here soon."

VP is the abbreviation of vice president. People in the industry like to use English abbreviations to show their height. Li Mu is used to this for a long time, so he nodded and didn't say much.

As the person in charge of investment, Jack Zhou usually negotiates with the investee and plays a game at the capital level. However, after several communications with Li Mu, he failed to find any breakthrough point in Li Mu, which made him feel a little frustrated. Today, when I saw him, I found that the other side was so young, which was even more frustrating.

A few minutes later, three middle-aged men and a 27-8-year-old woman came to the conference room. Jack Zhou made a quick introduction, with the focus on VP Tan Yaocheng.

Li Mu once heard of this man's fame. In 2006, when he was listed in Baidu, he left all over. Later, he became an angel investor. He invested in many projects and was quite successful. He was a big winner in life.

Tan Yaocheng also didn't expect Li Mu to be so young. In fact, he also set a Facebook image for Li Mu in his heart. Unexpectedly, there was such a big deviation, similar to Jack Zhou. He was shocked for a long time before he accepted the reality.

Jack Zhou also introduced other people to Li Mu, such as technical director and operation director. Li Mu didn't care to remember their names, because he knew that there was only one person he wanted to conquer at present, that is, Tan Yaocheng.

As for Baidu's technical director and operation director, what is their relationship? Only if they have reached a financing agreement with Baidu can these people work.

Tan Yaocheng is also a person who pays attention to efficiency when he does things, so after simple politeness, he began to go straight to the main topic: "today, I'd like to invite Mr. Li to come here, mainly because of Baidu's interest in the two websites of easy to listen and post bar. Jack Zhou should have talked to you before. We have the intention to package and purchase these two businesses, and this intention is very sincere I don't know Mr. Li... "

Li Mu smiled a little, and some rude hands raised to interrupt his words: "Mr. Tan, I have made it clear in my email with Mr. Zhou that I will not accept any company's intention to make a package purchase."

Tan Yaocheng didn't expect that Li Mu almost didn't even think about it, or even Baidu didn't ask about its current price intention, so he directly refused to buy a package. Why did such a young man do things so decisively, even to some arbitrary degree? Is he too confident in himself or in the future of easy to listen and post?

Although Li Mu refused so simply, Tan Yaocheng didn't give up. He smiled and said, "Mr. Li, don't you want to hear our latest offer? Some time ago, we communicated with investors far away in Silicon Valley. The current offer is much higher than the one Jack gave you in the previous week. "

Baidu is very optimistic about the two businesses of easy to listen and post bar, especially the post bar, which is a community artifact. With it, there will be a giant magnet to gather users. Combined with Baidu's advantages, they will be able to build a leader in the community field. They also made the current situation, analysis and evaluation of these two businesses into an English version and sent it to investors in Silicon Valley, Finally, the investors gave a clear reply: if Baidu could take these two businesses in a package, the investors would increase the capital of Baidu by 10 million dollars.

It can be seen that investors are also very optimistic about the integration prospects of these two businesses and Baidu.

Before Tan Yaocheng came in, he had a new offer for Li Mu. It's 25 million yuan. After tax, even he felt his heart beat faster. A project started for several months, with such high value, is a miracle in the Internet field.

As a result, I didn't expect that Li Mu said calmly at this time: "believe me, Mr. Tan, with Baidu's current size, you can't afford to package the purchase price."Several people in the meeting room were embarrassed on all sides.

Tan Yaocheng is shocked again. What is the origin of this boy? Don't ask about the price, just say Baidu can't afford it, it's too arrogant, isn't it?

However, Tan Yaocheng combined with the information disclosed by Li Mu before, and probably guessed Li Mu's real intention, only financing, not selling.

Tan Yaocheng asked, "Mr. Li is very optimistic about these two businesses? What do you think of the future development prospects of these two businesses? "

"So to speak." Li Mu leaned forward a little and said to several people with full confidence, "if I compare the future prospect to a grenade, then the easy to hear net is just a fuse ring on the grenade."

Speaking of this, Li Mu's fingers were drawn into a circle and said: "please note that it's just the pull ring like the key ring on the fuze. It's a starting point I found in the field of online music audition and download. As for the stick bar, it's the fuse of the grenade. The basic purpose of the existence of the easy to listen net and the stick bar is to detonate the real grenade So, you ask me what the future prospects are. You can compare the power of fuze and grenade. "

Tan Yaocheng frowned. The fuse is just a fuse. How powerful can it be? It's very small. How can I compare it with a grenade? In another way, Li Mu means that the current easy to hear net and post bar are nothing at all. Together, they are just a fuse of his grenade. This kid is so arrogant at a young age. Is that really good?

Tan Yaocheng decided to give the young man in front of him a ring of alarm, and he said in a tone of voice: "although the idea of tieba model is very good, after all, you lack sufficient flow and capital support. Once this model is imitated by enterprises or individuals with a large amount of flow and capital, I believe that it can soon surpass your tieba and suppress it Don't start. "

The so-called enterprise with a large amount of traffic and capital in his mouth is actually Baidu itself. The implication is nothing more than warning Li Mu. If Baidu refuses, Baidu can catch up with him in minutes.

Li Mu said: "if there are enterprises or individuals who want to imitate my post, it's really not difficult, but even if they follow me to imitate the post, they are just follow-up dogs without goals."

As soon as the word "follow the wind dog" comes out, everyone can feel the irony from Li Mu. In fact, when they see the easy to hear net and the post bar, their first idea is to launch similar products with the wind

At this time, regardless of the embarrassed faces of these people, Li Mu continued: "if anyone here has been paying attention to the post bar, he must know how fast the product development of the post bar is. Within more than a month, we not only launched the pop star post bar, but also launched the sign in function of the post bar and the member upgrade system. Then, we launched the post bar, including the three cross-strait All the celebrities including movie and TV singers, variety show hosts, etc. post it. After that, we have opened a more powerful function, that is, the user built post bar! Just ask, what companies can achieve such a fast and high-quality product update speed? In other companies, it will take at least half a year or more to do it? "

What Li Mu said is true. The rhythm of this product development is simply inhuman. The reason why stick bar can be achieved is that Li Mu understands the success or failure of various Internet products in the future. Every function he let Kong Lingyu develop is a successful experience that others spent a long time researching, developing and trial and error in the last life, and finally accumulated.

Tan Yaocheng is also deep in thought. Li Mu ' You can never catch up.

Seeing that Tan Yaocheng didn't speak for a long time, Li Mu cleared his voice and said: "just now, President Tan talked about the flow and capital, something you may not know. Now, there are more than four million registered users in the post bar, and more than 200000 daily active users. Are you worried about the flow at such a fast growth rate? Even if other people have more powerful flow, but without such high conversion and viscosity, it is basically useless. "

"In addition to flow, there are funds. I admit that funds are the bottleneck of my next development, but I think financing is just to make up for this problem. I believe that even if I don't take Baidu's money, I still don't have to worry about financing."

Tan Yaocheng put his hands on the table, looked at Li Mu, nodded slightly, and asked, "what are your conditions for financing?" (to be continued. )
