Chapter 898

Elon Musk's flight landed at 2 a.m. Yanjing time at Yanjing capital airport.

This time, along with Elon Musk came to China, there was only one Chinese female translator. Besides, Elon Musk did not bring any PayPal staff.

A driver from Muye technology's team, a business man and a public relations man picked up at the airport and sent Elon Musk and his translator to his pre booked hotel.

When I settled down in the hotel room, it was a quarter past three in the morning. Because of sleeping on the plane, Elon Musk was full of energy. So he connected the hotel network with his laptop, and chatted with his partner Peter Thiel in Silicon Valley through YY video.

It was at 12:15 p.m. San Francisco time. Peter til didn't even have a meal, so he first called Elon Musk via video to communicate the details of the "friendship meets porcelain".

"After you got on the plane, I started to release the news to the outside world. This morning, there were many Internet media to release the news. Now the whole Silicon Valley knows that you have gone to China and that you are going to see Li Mu," said Peter thier

Elon Musk asked him, "did eBay contact you?"

"Not yet, I think they're paying close attention, but they shouldn't speak up until they have the exact information," said Peter Thiel

Elon Musk looked at the time and said, "my meeting time with Li muyue is from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and I have an open lunch and a private dinner. I just heard the business personnel of Muye technology say that there should be an interview with Chinese media for lunch tomorrow."

Peter Teer immediately asked excitedly, "is it?! Li Mu invited Chinese media? "

Elon Musk nodded: "this is what the business people of Makino technology said. It should not be wrong."

"Great!" Peter Teer laughed and said: "if Li Mu takes the initiative to release the meeting with you, it will be more beneficial to us! At that time, I will let the domestic media report, coupled with the media report of China, to push the momentum of your two meeting to a higher level. At that time, I believe eBay will feel unprecedented pressure! This is great news! "

Elon Musk said with a smile, "Yeah, I didn't expect that Li Mu would invite the media to come, so you and eBay will have to deal with the rest. It's better to raise our valuation by 15-20%!"

Peter Teer nodded and said with a warning: "by the way, when you meet with Li Mu, you must try to be modest. Although you are rushing to use Li Mu to stimulate eBay to offer higher prices this time, don't let Li Mu see it, otherwise we may have another enemy in the future."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it," Elon Musk said at once

"That's good." Peter Thiel said with a smile: "it's less than seven hours before you meet. I think you should take the time to rest and refresh yourself, and then meet with Li Mu. Although it's impossible for him to buy PayPal, it's also good for us to keep a good personal relationship with him in the future."

Elon Musk said with a smile, "that's for sure. Hurry to dinner. I'll take a bath and lie down for a while."

“OK！”

……

At 9:30 the next morning, Li Mu arrived at Muye technology on time. When he arrived at Muye technology, the team of Muye technology had just started. He went to Elon Musk's hotel to meet him with Li Mu.

Before Elon Musk arrived, Li Mu called Lin Qingya and Wang Nan, the editor in chief of yy.com, to his office and confirmed their work arrangement with them in advance.

First of all, Lin Qingya. Li Mu asked her to communicate with all invited media, interview and shooting. But how to write and how to send the press release is still up to Muye technology to set the tone. If any media issues the press release without permission, the cooperation will be terminated permanently in the future.

Next is Wang Nan's side. Yynet will start tracking and reporting Elon Musk's visit to China this morning. No matter how the report is written, the keynote must be: Elon Musk will go to China and pay a visit to Muye technology in advance.

In addition, Li Mu also asked Lin Qingya to get in touch with eBay's headquarters in advance. Once he had a talk with Elon Musk, Elon Musk was not willing to let Muye technology and eBay co invest in PayPal. Then Lin Qingya directly contacted eBay and told them clearly that he did not have any idea of purchasing PayPal, so that they would not misjudge.

In a word, if Li Mu can't get on PayPal's car this time, he won't let Elon Musk directly or indirectly get any benefits from himself. The ultimate goal is to make him promise to work together with himself to promote eBay and Muye technology to share PayPal's plan.

The team of Muye technology came to Muye technology with Elon Musk and his accompanying translator in strict accordance with the scheduled time.Instead of going out to meet him, Li Mu sat upright in his office and waited for Elon Musk to visit.

For Li Mu, although Elon Musk is a powerful man, he is much worse than himself in terms of strength, and he has no reason to meet him.

Lin Qingya personally brought Elon Musk and his accompanying translator to Li Mu's office. When Elon Musk appeared behind Lin Qingya and stepped into Li Mu's office, Li Mu felt nervous for a moment, but after a while, the tension disappeared. As Li Mu could see, Elon Musk was really nervous.

When Elon Musk came in and saw Li Mu, he was a little excited. After Lin Qingya introduced him, he walked to Li Mu, who was sitting in the office chair. Not only did he smile, but also from the moment when he started, Li Mu could see that his right hand was not in front of him. It seemed that he was ready to shake hands with himself.

Li Mu stood up at this time, not in a hurry to get out of the desk, but waited for Elon Musk to come to him.

Across the broad desk, Elon Musk reached out to Li Mu excitedly and said, "Hello, Mr. Li!"

Li Muluo was shocked, but when he saw the Chinese girl following Elon Musk, he probably realized that this might be a greeting that Elon Musk had learned specially to meet him.

So Li Mu smiled and said to him in Chinese, "Hello, Mr. musk."

With that, Li Mucai came out of his desk, pointed to the sofa in the reception area, and said to him, "this way, please."

Li Mu's English is very good. He has settled down for more than ten years in his last life. There is certainly no problem in talking directly with Elon Musk in English. However, Li Mu feels that this is not the time when he shows his oral English ability in front of Elon Musk. As the host, as the object of Elon Musk's "friendship meets porcelain", he has higher status and momentum than him At first, if I speak English to him at this time, isn't it too embarrassing for him?

Therefore, Li Mu had made up his mind to meet Elon Musk today, and he didn't speak English at all.

Elon Musk's female translator translated a sentence in a low voice behind him, so Elon Musk hurriedly nodded to Li Mu and said thanks, which led him to the sofa in the reception area and sat opposite to him.

Li Mu didn't arrange a translator, but let Lin Qingya stay here to listen. In addition, Elon Musk and his translator are two people, one male and one female. They look more harmonious.

As soon as Elon Musk sat down, he said to Li Mu in English, "Mr. Li, I've heard of your name for a long time. It's a great honor for me to meet you here today."

After the accompanying translator translated into Chinese immediately, Li Mucai said with a smile: "Mr. musk, you are welcome. Although I have not been to the United States, as an Internet practitioner, I would like to meet more Silicon Valley elites."

Li Mu didn't say that he had heard about Elon Musk for a long time, or even that he was honored to see him. He just said that he was very interested in making friends with him as a "Silicon Valley business", which was also to some extent to draw a clear hierarchy with Elon Musk.

For Elon Musk, Li Mu achieved so much when he was 20 years old. He was not at the same level as himself, so he didn't feel anything wrong with Li Mu's way of speaking. He continued to use his long prepared words and complimented: "your company's YY has made amazing achievements in the United States in a short time, which is really impressive. Now YY It has become the necessary office software for the whole America and even the whole western elite. I believe the future of YY will be limitless! "

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile, "YY can achieve such a good situation, which is inseparable from PayPal's full support. As the largest online payment channel in western society, PayPal's future must be very broad."

"Compared with YY, PayPal still has a big gap in product function, design concept, technical difficulty and future development space," said Elon Musk with a modest smile

"There is a huge gap in the nature and positioning of the two products, just like the tire and the engine, which can not and need not be compared. As long as they can better cooperate with each other, they can complement each other and develop together," Li Mu said

Elon Musk agreed with Li Mu's simile very much and said: "Mr. Li's simile is too appropriate. Paypal and YY are like tires and engines. They should cooperate with each other so that we can all get a greater development space."

Li Mu nodded and asked him, "I don't know what the main purpose of Mr. Musk's coming to China and Muye technology is?"

As soon as Elon Mascherano hesitated, he said the purpose of his trip: "Mr. Li, I'm here to hope PayPal can have deeper cooperation with YY and Muye technology."

Li Mu asked him with great interest, "what is the deeper cooperation?""At the capital level, because we are considering PayPal recently, I think the global strategy of YY in the future cannot be separated from the full support of PayPal, a global payment channel, so I hope Mr. Li can consider whether he is interested in purchasing PayPal," said Elon Musk

After that, Elon Musk looked at Li Mu nervously. What he was afraid of most was that Li Mu said no directly. Li Mu had arranged to accept an interview with Chinese media at noon. If he refused his intention to sell directly, I'm afraid that this attitude would be transmitted through Chinese media at noon. In that way, once it was transmitted to eBay's ear, his "friendship touched porcelain" Planning, there is not much room for development.

When Elon Musk was waiting for Li Mu's reply nervously, Li Mu smiled and said casually, "buy paypal? To tell you the truth, I have this idea! "
