Chapter 498

About to see Li Mu again, Tan Yaocheng is in a complicated mood. The current valuation of Muye technology has far exceeded that of Baidu. In his own eyes, Li Mu was just a personal webmaster similar to Li Xingping, but unexpectedly, he has achieved such a high level of Muye technology in such a short time.

Tan Yaocheng doesn't understand and doesn't want to understand. The Muye technology under the control of Li Mu is just like a super player with full picture coordinates and vision in legend. Compared with him, other companies are like those players at the bottom, with no map, no coordinates and only a little vision illuminated by candles. In order to find a place, It may take a detour to get the whole map up.

From the beginning to the present, Muye technology has been one step at a time, and every step has shocked the entire Internet industry. This year, Muye technology is not even 20 years old. No one knows how much space it will have in the future.

The most painful thing for Tan Yaocheng is that Baidu withdrew from Muye technology at the beginning and replaced 20% of the shares of easygoing.com with Muye technology's shares. Now, looking back, it's like replacing a sesame with a watermelon, with a huge loss.

Now, under the command of President Li, Tan Yaocheng seeks Li Mu to communicate with the company about the shares of easy to listen. The golden age of MP3 search has begun. If Baidu can't integrate the easy to listen network, it's really a good time to miss. With the influence of easy to listen network, Baidu can't directly do MP3 search without it. If Baidu does so Li Mu will definitely fight against Baidu. It's not worth the loss.

For Baidu, the best way is to acquire more shares of the easy to listen network from Li Mu's hands, reach absolute control as soon as possible, and then integrate the easy to listen network directly.

About 7 p.m., Li Mu was a little late. When they arrived at the restaurant, Tan Yaocheng had been waiting for half an hour.

As soon as we met, Li Mu said sorry to tan Yaocheng, "I'm sorry, Mr. tan. Things are too busy. I've been delayed for a while."

With a smile, Tan Yaocheng pushed his glasses and said, "you are busy now. You have so many things to do. If you have time to see me, I will be very satisfied."

Li Mu sat down opposite Tan Yaocheng and said with a smile, "but we really haven't seen each other for some time."

Tan Yaocheng nodded: "who don't say, we are very busy recently, just developed a search plug-in for ie, after that, users can directly enter keywords in IE to search."

Li Mu said with a smile, "your business is developing very actively now. Is there any new direction in other aspects?"

Tan Yaocheng said with a smile: "our business can't be more active than your Muye technology. Look at your recent actions. It's too frequent. Even QQ has been killed by you. I see that next year, Muye technology is the largest Internet company in China. By then, your price will be no problem in the rich list."

Li Mu said, "those are all false, and they can't cover the present."

Tan Yaocheng said, "who says it can't be done? The capital market gives you a valuation of 6 billion yuan. You just need to nod your head and get a cash. "

Li Mu said with a smile, "come on, I don't have the idea of cash arbitrage now. After all, I don't lack money. Why do I need to refinance cash arbitrage?"

Tan Yaocheng asked him curiously, "are you ready to go public without financing?"

Li mudian nodded: "as long as the cash flow of Muye technology is positive, I don't need to raise funds. Right now, YY begins to accept commercial advertising, and the income can be increased by a part. The cash flow is enough."

Tan Yaocheng sighed: "I really envy you. Even President Li often laments that the Internet people who come back from overseas think they are the most Internet savvy people in China, but they are not as good as you. Now there are so many Internet companies in China, and few of them really find business models. You are one of them. YY's income is so stable, which is also the capital's focus on animal husbandry The main reason why wild technology is particularly popular. "

"You can't just see the revenue of YY, you can't see the cost of YY," said Li. "Now we have a team of hundreds of people, and the cost of labor and office is very high, and the cost of server bandwidth is also very high."

Speaking of this, Li Mu couldn't help asking him: "by Mr. Tan, you should know a lot of senior talents in data processing. Can you introduce me a little and help me set up some IDC (Internet Data Center)."

"Do you want to build a large data center?" Tan Yaocheng said

Li mudian nodded: "we have this idea for a long time, but there has been no high-end talents in this field. We focused on the competition with Tengxun for a while ago, and now it's time to take precautions."

In the future, large Internet companies will cooperate with operators to build their own data center, which can not only reduce costs, but also provide better server and network support for their products. Li Mu also wants to provide a strong server support for Muye technology, so this piece has been put on the agenda.

"At that time, I can introduce some senior engineers in the industry to you, give you some suggestions and even help you solve some problems," Tan saidLi Mu said with a smile, "thank you so much. I'll invite you to dinner after it's done."

Tan Yaocheng waved: "our relationship, this matter is still polite?"

Said, Tan Yaocheng also began to enter the main topic, said to Li Mu: "in fact, today I asked you out to meet, there is something I want to communicate with you."

"You said."

Tan Yaocheng's note: "well, we are also inspired by Muye technology recently. We want to develop dependent products with Baidu search as the core. We are very interested in MP3 search. President Li said that you promised him that you would leave the home from easygoing within three years and transfer all shares to Baidu. So he wanted me to ask you if you could do a round of equity collection first Buy? "

Li Mu asked with a smile, "how much does Li always want to buy?"

"What Mr. Li meant was that we valued the company at 500 million yuan, and we bought 30% of the shares in cash from you and another shareholder," Tan said

Li mudian nodded. The price of five billion yuan is not low. After all, it's hard to find a profit model in MP3 search, audition and download. We can only do the simplest traffic advertising. In terms of the current traffic of the easy to listen network, the potential of advertising revenue is about one or two million yuan per month. Even if there is still room to rise, it's not worth five billion yuan as a whole.

If it's sold to other companies, it's estimated that it'll be one or two billion yuan. However, Li Mu won't sell it at this price. If it's higher, other companies may not buy it. But it's not the same for Baidu. Their core business is search. Now the demand for MP3 search is growing. The easy to listen network controls most of the traffic and users. Baidu wants to improve its search service The volume of MP3 must be taken down as a huge source of traffic.

Li Mu asked Tan Yaocheng, "if you hold a stake in Eason, do you want to use Eason to do Baidu's MP3 search?"

Tan Yaocheng knew that he could not hide from Li Mu, so he nodded frankly: "we need some new services to improve the user viscosity now."

Li Mu said: "laotan, we have a good relationship, but private affairs are private affairs, and public affairs are public affairs. If Baidu has this idea, I will put the scandal in the front. Even if I promise to transfer 30% of the shares to Baidu, I will at most let Baidu open a special entrance to the easy to hear network, and will not let the easy to hear network in turn to guide Baidu's products or make dowry."

Li Mu knows what Baidu is thinking about. Baidu wants to integrate the easy to hear network into Baidu search engine, and they must focus on their own MP3 search. So if they give the easy to hear network to them, they can't think about how to make the easy to hear network better, but how to guide the users of the easy to hear network to their own MP3 search section as much as possible.

Tan Yaocheng listened to Li Mu's absolute words and said with an embarrassed smile: "Li Mu, to be honest, if we can't guide our own products, then we can't understand the meaning of the easy listening network."

"It doesn't make sense," Li Mu said. "At least you have 30% of the shares of e-listening. Even if you can't integrate e-listening into Baidu search, it's also one of the assets of your Baidu company. You invested five million yuan at the beginning, and now 30% of the shares of e-listening are worth more than 50 million yuan at least. It's not a year since you've made a lot of money."

Tan Yaocheng said angrily, "if you didn't drive us off in the middle of the way, our original five million is at least five billion now!"

"Mr. Li hums and laughs:" Mr. Tan, opening an account with ten thousand yuan to speculate in stocks is often dropped off by Zhuang Jiazhen, not to mention the millions invested in a company? You are out of the stock market by the dealer, can only blame you for not firm will, but also blame the dealer is not kind

Tan Yaocheng said with a wry smile, "you're right. We're not firm in our will. We haven't said much about this. But to be honest, the Internet of easy listening is not very useful to you now, but it means different to us. If you give the Internet of easy listening to Baidu now, Baidu will surely give you greater return in resources in the future."

Li Mu said: "Lao Tan, who told you that easy to hear net is not important to me? To tell you the truth, I just made an analysis of MP3 audition and download market and a competitive product analysis of the same industry some time ago. Now the demand of Internet users for digital music is rising, and it will become the first category with the highest proportion of Internet users' search behavior. How can I give you the easy to listen network in this case? "

Tan Yaocheng looks at Li Mu in surprise and asks him subconsciously, "do you have time and energy to study the digital music market?"

Tan Yaocheng didn't expect Li Mu to have such a clear understanding of the current development trend of MP3. According to Baidu's own internal data, more than 25% of Baidu users' daily search times are related to MP3, and the proportion is still increasing, so MP3 has become the highest category of user search behavior. Users' search in other aspects is all inclusive, but any one A big category, now can not be compared with MP3. (to be continued. )
