Chapter 873

The CEO of Sequoia Capital is named Steve.Johnson , and Eric.Hanks After years of cooperation, he was rarely seen to be so bold. When he spoke about Muye technology, he gave him such high praise. Steve frowned and asked him subconsciously, "Eric, what is this fuss about? What amazing achievements can Chinese people make in the field of Internet? "

These two days, Steve.Johnson I also read some reports about Li Mu, YY and Muye technology, but that's just the reports. He never studied Li Mu, let alone YY and Muye technology.

Steve.Johnson He is a typical racist. He believes in the supremacy of white people and the invincibility of the United States. He has blind confidence in the United States, American culture and technology, especially the Internet!

Steve.Johnson Looking at the Internet is almost the same as Chinese people watching Beijing opera. Chinese people regard Beijing opera as the quintessence of China. That's because it's an art inherited by Chinese for hundreds of years. So Chinese people also instinctively feel that only Chinese people can grasp the essence of Beijing opera. No matter how foreigners imitate it, they can only learn a resemblance. The real shrine of Beijing Opera is natural It's Yanjing. Only Yanjing's Peking Opera is the most authentic and authoritative.

Internet in Steve.Johnson In his eyes, the same is true. He thinks that only American people really understand the Internet, and any other country can only imitate the skin and skin of the American Internet. In the American Internet, Silicon Valley is the only place where the real bull is. Although Seattle is also very harmful, but Steve.Johnson I never thought it was rainy Cities can be compared with Silicon Valley in the Internet industry.

Under the guidance of this mode of thinking, he absolutely does not believe that any country other than the United States can make remarkable achievements on the Internet, and neither Japan nor Europe can enter his eyes. What's more, the Internet starts several years behind China?

Eric.Hanks Seeing that he also had a subjective prejudice on the Internet industry in China, he couldn't help saying: "Steve, I held the same view as you two hours ago, but now two hours later, I guarantee you with my nearly 20 years' experience in the industry. If we don't invest in this enterprise as soon as possible, what we will lose in the future is probably a world ago Ten Internet enterprises! "

Steve.Johnson "I've heard about the interview of shit, Eric and Li Mu, and I know that he's speechless, but how can you believe the words of a Chinese kid in front of the media?"

Eric.Hanks Quickly said: "Hey, Steve, listen carefully. You should download a YY now and study it. In two hours, you will have the same opinion with me. This is a super product that throws msn on the moon! Now it's just used as a "tool" by American users. Once it has a way to cut into the lives of American people, it's absolutely invincible! "

Steve.Johnson "Come on man!"! You don't know me after all these years of relationship? I don't believe that in terms of Internet products, any country or any foreign enterprise can surpass the United States! I tell you, in my eyes, the gap between Chinese Internet and American Internet is just like the gap between the aviation industry of the two countries! Look at the gap between the fighters of the two countries! "

With that said, Steve.Johnson Don't forget to add: "Eric, you're really disgraced. You've taken a Chinese kid and his little software like college students' homework to such a high level, and your eyes are backward!"

Eric.Hanks He said angrily, "Hey Steve, put away your arrogance, and study this Chinese software carefully! You know, in three days, it has acquired millions of users in the United States, and most of them come from Silicon Valley! As you can see, in these three days, hundreds of thousands of Americans are struggling to become the VIP of this Chinese software, and this Chinese software is not connected to PayPal or any American payment channel, so you can only spend 60% more on eBay to find Chinese people to pay for the VIP! You know, you can directly realize video conference on this Chinese software, and the effect is much better than that stupid thing on your desktop that is specially used for video conference! "

Steve.Johnson little does one think Eric.Hanks Unexpectedly, he was so excited, and his expression was very serious and angry. He seemed to want to rush up and beat himself up. He quickly put away some arrogance and comforted him, saying, "don't be excited, control it, control it."

Eric.Hanks One word at a time: "I hope you know about this software right now!"

Steve.Johnson But nodded: "well, try it and try it. I'll download it now. Since you say it's ten thousand good, why don't you come and show me how to use it?"

Eric.Hanks Ask him: "if this software is really awesome, you should remember to apologize to me for your arrogance just now."Steve.Johnson Scornful smile: "OK, as long as this software really shocked me, I not only apologize to you, tonight, I invite you to drink!"

Eric.Hanks Sitting Steve.Johnson In front of his computer, he downloaded and installed YY, and then logged in his number, Steve.Johnson Originally, he had a scornful attitude on one side, but when the software was logged in, he immediately put away the previous scorn, because the interface of this software is so damn perfect!

In the next half hour, Steve.Johnson When his mouth is not closed, Eric.Hanks Little by little, he gave him a demonstration of all the YY functions he knew. In the process, he even found many small functions of YY, such as its pop-up reminder function, registering a YY number, and even registering a YY mailbox by default. This software itself Unexpectedly, it also contains the email notification component. Suddenly, a prompt pops up in the lower right corner: "your YY mailbox has a new email - YY team welcomes you to join YY, I wish you..."

Eric.Hanks Click on the pop-up prompt, and then the computer automatically starts the default browser to log in without any link and enter directly Eric.Hanks In this number's YY mailbox!

"My God!" Both of them make a exclamation at the same time! This software is just for office! If it is used as an online office solution, the efficiency of the whole team will be greatly improved.

Steve.Johnson "If only this email notification function could collect emails from other mailboxes," he said, holding his chin on one side

The voice just dropped, Eric.Hanks Click the settings in the page, and indeed found the "other mailbox collection" service here. He went in subconsciously and filled in his enterprise email account and password, and set up the SMTP and pop protocols. After the email test passed, he immediately started to prompt "synchronize inbox". In a moment, Eric.Hanks The latest 50 emails in the corporate mailbox It's synced in, and a prompt pops up: "do you want to sync more mail?"

Eric.Hanks Click Yes, and then YY mailbox will pop up a few prompts: continue to synchronize 50, 100, 200 and all the four options.

Steve.Johnson Then he took off his mouth and said, "God! This Chinese software is really amazing! God! What do you really want to have! There are so many mysteries in an email notification component attached to YY. God, it's not the same as merging a Foxmail? "

Foxmail is the first application that China has really come out of the world, but its function is too single, and its name is especially English. So many people in overseas market are using Foxmail, but they don't know that it is a software developed by Chinese.

Eric.Hanks "It seems that after using YY, you can uninstall Foxmail."

Steve.Johnson I've seen it Eric.Hanks After demonstrating group video chat, I was disgusted with the expensive and clumsy video conference terminal for a long time. Now I stare at the terminal equipment that I thought was very professional before, and say scornfully, "this shit like thing can also be lost!"

Eric.Hanks Looking at him, deliberately provocative asked: "night is not to invite me to drink?"

Steve.Johnson Old face is red: "drink is sure to drink, but we are ready to start with the head of the Chinese side there is a video conference, I want them to give me this company!"

Eric.Hanks Looking at the time, he said, "it's five o'clock in the afternoon. Yanjing time should be nine o'clock in the morning tomorrow. They should go to work."

There is a time difference of 16 hours between San Francisco and Yanjing. Now Yanjing has entered the "tomorrow" of San Francisco time in advance.

Steve.Johnson Quickly said: "that line, we have a meeting first, after the meeting I invite you to drink!"

……

When the headquarters of Sequoia Capital realized the power of YY and the development potential of Makino technology, YY had already become popular among the elite in the United States!

Magic software from China began to spread word-of-mouth among the elite. Almost instantaneously, it reduced the orders of many video conference terminal equipment and service providers in the United States to the verge of bankruptcy.

Thanks to the large number of Chinese and Chinese Americans in the United States, YY designed a certain amount of redundancy in its server installation in the United States, otherwise such an impact would have been paralyzed.

Even so, the existing servers obviously can't keep up with the demand. Only by quickly cooperating with a number of local server renters in the United States, directly and remotely managing the newly hired servers, and rapidly expanding the number and bandwidth of servers, can they meet the current demand.

Li Mu is very worried about the pressure resistance of the server and feels very insecure about renting the server.Li Mu arrived at Muye technology at 8:30 in the morning. To his surprise, almost all the people of YY operation and maintenance team arrived.

YY's unexpected fire in the North American market has excited all over Makino technology. Because North America is far away from the ocean and far away, everyone is nervous about the server support in the United States. Fortunately, the servers that are rented urgently are being deployed and put into use. In order to achieve peak traffic, Makino technology is still in use Find a way to rent more local servers across the United States.

Kong Lingyu came to convene a meeting of the server support team early in the morning. According to Li Mu's previous requirements, he decided to send a team of ten people to apply for a business visa quickly. As an employee of that branch in the United States, he would go to the United States for permanent residence and directly prepare to build his own North American data center in the United States.

According to Kong Lingyu's plan, for the first time to send past members to work in the United States for at least six months, during which time, the company will provide comprehensive transportation, catering, accommodation and other aspects of security, and at the same time, the company will give twice the monthly salary of employees to the United States as a business trip subsidy, and prepare to put out a million yuan project bonus, as long as you are willing to go to the United States, and In the United States, we will help the company establish its first overseas data center, and the company will surely give them unimaginable or unimaginable preferential treatment.

For the company's need to stay in the United States for at least half a year, everyone's feedback was very positive. Except for one employee who just hesitated a little bit as a father, almost all the other people registered enthusiastically without hesitation. They wished they could fly to the United States on behalf of the company and sow the seeds from the Chinese Internet on the land where the Internet was born!

Kong Lingyu knows that we have such a positive attitude, not only because of so many reward and subsidy policies, but also because of his love for the company to some extent. However, he is deeply taught by Li Mu on this point, and will not think that how deep the feelings of employees for the company are. Therefore, more decisive factors are the treatment given by the company to employees 。

Li Mu always thinks that it's not impossible to talk about feelings to employees about things that can be solved with money, but it must be on the premise of ensuring that employees are paid enough. Otherwise, all bosses who don't talk about money and only about feelings are playing hooligans!
