Chapter 1029

Muye technology's branch in Silicon Valley is located in the hinterland of Silicon Valley, which is the most prosperous central area of Silicon Valley. Lin qingyapaiban rented a three-story villa property with a total area of more than 2000 square meters in a small park here. On the nameplate at the door, Li Mu saw four striking Chinese characters "Muye technology". At the bottom of the Chinese character, Muye technology in English.

Li Mu came all the way and saw many well-known enterprises. However, if there are Chinese characters in the name of the enterprise, Muye technology is the only one.

When Lin Qingya saw Li Mu staring at the company's nameplate outside, she couldn't help but say: "Mr. Li, there is only one domestic Internet enterprise officially listed in Silicon Valley, and other enterprises have offices in Silicon Valley, but they are all hidden in small units of each incubator, and the largest one is not more than 100 square meters."

Li Mu nodded, pointed to the four words of Muye technology and smiled: "so, we are the first Chinese enterprise that really landed in Silicon Valley."

Lin Qingya said with a smile, "yes, the first one in the real sense."

With that, Lin Qingya whispered, "let's hurry in. Many employees are waiting."

According to Lin Qingya, the total number of employees working in the United States has exceeded 300, among which, except for the two groups from home, a total of more than 110, other people are currently recruited in the United States during this period.

Most of the newly added 200 employees are local promotion personnel affiliated to paradise town. There are too many colleges and universities in the United States, so there is a great demand for promotion team personnel. The newly added employees are all full-time employees officially signed. In addition, there is a part-time team with more than one thousand people under the promotion team of Paradise town.

However, as the promotion team of Paradise town is now carrying out promotion work in Colleges and universities across the United States, the number of employees working in Silicon Valley is not large. There are about 100 people in total, including about 40 old employees from China, and the remaining 60 are all new employees recruited in Silicon Valley, which are basically all technical.

Chinese and Chinese Americans account for more than half of the 60 new recruits, which also benefits from the extraordinary influence of Makino technology in the field of Chinese. Many Chinese and Chinese Americans who are engaged in Internet work overseas have great affection for Makino technology, and they are eager to join Makino technology and become a member of Makino technology.

Li Mu has led Lin Qingya to start the return of talents to the outside world a few months ago. For such a long time, Muye technology has collected more than 100 high-end technical talents from western developed countries, especially the United States, for Muye technology and even the whole Chinese Internet industry.

However, there are still a large number of overseas talents who have settled down in the United States or have acquired American nationality. For these people, it is more or less difficult for them to give up their lives abroad and go back to China. So they can't go to China to join Muye technology. But now, Muye technology has its own overseas branch in Silicon Valley. They can Working for the science and technology of Makino at the door of their own home, which is a good thing that they can not expect.

Lin Qingya said to Li Mu, "most of the newly recruited overseas employees of the company adore you very much. They are looking forward to seeing you, so they are all looking forward to the first time in the company now. When they meet later, they are expected to have some fanaticism. Make preparations in advance."

Li Mu joked: "I'm under a lot of pressure to say that. It's like meeting with fans."

Lin Qingya said with a smile, "you have a great influence in the local Chinese community. They all say that you are the most famous person in Silicon Valley, so it's natural that you are sought after."

Lin Qingya is right.

At this moment, more than a hundred people in the company are already eager to see through. Li Mu and Lin Qingya walk into the company's gate together. There are all people standing on both sides of the gate, cheering and greeting Li Mu, while shouting in the mouth, "general manager Li is good."

Li Mu looks around and sees many familiar and unfamiliar faces. However, he always smiles modestly and nods hello to everyone. Someone comes to ask for a handshake. Li Mu is willing to shake hands and says a word of hard work to each other in Chinese.

For these old employees of Muye science and technology who came from China, Li Mu's arrival was in their mind the same as the group commander-in-chief going to the front line to comfort the soldiers, so it was unnecessary to say much about the morale encouragement.

For those Chinese and Chinese employees who have just joined Muye technology, Li Mu is the legend they adore in their mind, so the legend suddenly appears in front of them, and they are naturally very excited.

In addition, there are a group of people from all over the world who are not as enthusiastic as the first two, but still full of respect and curiosity for Li Mu, a billionaire in his early twenties.

Silicon Valley is so big that it can accommodate many high-tech enterprises of the world's top 500, as well as numerous small and medium-sized enterprises and start-ups. But Silicon Valley is also so small that there is basically no secret in Silicon Valley. Everyone in Silicon Valley is like a computer hardware vendor in Zhongguancun who knows the whole shopping Mall as well as everything in Silicon Valley Extremely sensitive.Li Mugang has not been to Muye technology Silicon Valley branch for more than half an hour, and the whole Silicon Valley knows the news.

Here comes Li Mu!

At the time when YY was in the ascendant and "Paradise town" was infecting American universities like a plague, Li Mu came.

When Li Mu came to Silicon Valley at this time, for people in the Internet industry in the United States, there may be several meanings behind it, which may be the signal that Muye Technology launched a general attack on the U.S. market, the prelude to the c-round financing of Muye technology, or even both.

For a while, the whole silicon valley became nervous because of the news of Li Mu's arrival.

Peer companies began to worry that Li Mu would bring the unimaginable expansion speed of Muye technology to the United States. After all, no one would like the peers around to become strong, let alone suddenly have a strong peer, especially Muye technology, an instant messaging and online social enterprise.

If there is more than one enterprise like Cisco and Intel, it is better. In addition to the worries of Cisco and Intel, other Internet enterprises are more looking forward to such a competitive situation. The fight of hardware enterprises can not only reduce hardware prices, but also promote hardware development. If Intel has more than one competitor, the price of computer CPU will decline at a faster rate It will continue to improve, and the speed of upgrading will also increase. In that case, the overall price of hardware will fall and the whole industry will enjoy dividends.

However, Muye technology is different. Enterprises such as Muye technology aim at online social communication and instant communication, which is a strong demand field of users. The encroachment on users, traffic and online time is like a whale swallow. Moreover, Muye technology has a trend of horizontal development around this strong demand. If it is expanded, almost all Internet enterprises will It will be affected. Pastoral technology is like a frantically expanding alien invasive species, constantly encroaching on the living space and nutrients of other Internet companies.

Sequoia Capital, which is only three blocks away from Muye technology Silicon Valley Branch, has received the news that Li Mu has arrived in Silicon Valley, which makes the whole Sequoia Capital tense.

The c-round financing of Muye technology has been delayed for a long time. Although Muye technology has always been ambiguous about the attitude of Sequoia Capital, it is like a beauty who is good at playing with men. It is always anxious to leave.

Previously, I talked with Sequoia Huaxia branch for several times, but Muye technology is different from all financing companies, because Muye technology has not shown the urgent demand for money from the beginning to the end.

Muye technology wants to finance round C itself, but they seem to have no shortage of money, so they are not interested in the progress and efficiency of round C financing at all.

Behind this "not caring" attitude, it is Makino technology that constantly breaks out all kinds of new actions. Not only is its product constantly undergoing unimaginable improvement, but also touches the online payment business in the United States. It successfully "borrows" eBay's money to invest in PayPal, and its valuation is almost on the rocket, the speed of which makes all capital nervous.

Now, everyone knows that Makino technology is a super fast car to make money. Everyone knows that Makino technology needs a lot of financial support to start the "global model". It also knows that Makino technology can easily be listed on Nasdaq, and lacks a round of financing and the operation of local capital in the United States. Therefore, based on these understandings, the capital of the United States is very concerned It is clear that Li Mu will definitely finalize the financing in the near future, and the financing will find American capital, because Li Mu's "global model" starts in the United States and needs a strong local ally of the United States.

According to Sequoia, at present, the investment bank capital of more than one billion US dollars that the United States can call out is basically interested in Muye technology. Everyone knows that as long as we can reach capital cooperation with Muye technology before it goes public, once Muye technology goes public, this investment can be doubled immediately. If it is held for a long time Muye technology's shares, then the amount of money that can be leveraged by these billions of dollars is amazing.

Sequoia thought that he was the most inclined partner of Makino technology, but unexpectedly, when he came to America, Li Mu didn't say hello to them. If Li Mu really wants to meet Sequoia, he should at least inform Sequoia of his itinerary in advance, and then make an appointment with the senior management of Sequoia about a meeting time.

But now it seems that Li Mu has no inclination at all. His only inclination is the one with higher price.

The cruel reality makes the senior management of Sequoia feel huge pressure. If Li Mu doesn't have any inclination towards Sequoia, then if Sequoia wants to invest in Muye technology, it's probably going to fight with Softbank, Goldman Sachs and other businesses in the next period!
