When the whole Silicon Valley venture capital was waiting to meet with Li Mu, Li Mu took the initiative to meet Larry Page, the founder of Google in Silicon Valley, just like himself.
In Li Mu's eyes, Larry Page's contribution to the world is bigger and more profound than that of jobs. Although the latter created many amazing products, the former actually changed the world.
The contribution of search engine to the Internet is great. It greatly improves people's information search efficiency on the Internet. Based on this, it improves almost all efficiency when people use computers.
Learning efficiency is improving, working efficiency is improving, and even game efficiency is also improving. Just like Baidu is fully integrated into the life of Chinese Internet users in the future, Google is integrated into the life of Internet users in the world.
Google is a technology oriented company, which is closely related to Larry Page himself. For daily Internet users, it may not be clear where Google is really powerful. But as a programmer, Li Mu, compared with ordinary people, has a better understanding of Google.
The powerful technology accumulation and patent precipitation make Google almost the most powerful Internet company in the world, and its technology application is far beyond the visual range of ordinary users. However, at present, the market value of Google is not as good as the rising Muye technology.
Li Mu adores Larry Page, and Larry Page also admires Li Mu at this time.
From the founding of Google to now, Larry Page has spent several years, and there are many far-reaching innovations on the technical level, but on the commercial level, it is several levels lower than that of Muye technology.
Li Mu arrived at the restaurant agreed with Larry Page ahead of time, and waited about ten minutes. Larry Page, 29, arrived.
At the first meeting, Li Mu was very nervous, but he was calm on the surface, while Larry Page's expression was a little nervous.
In the face of Li Mu, Larry Page really has no confidence. He is nearly ten years older than Li Mu, but Li Mu's value is much higher than himself. Google's current valuation is only about 10 billion dollars, and the valuation of wild technology is at least 20 billion dollars. In addition, there is a wild game under Li Mu's hands. The company has an eye on it What's more frightening is that Li Mu also has a Taobao website that can rival Amazon in China. If there is an authoritative organization to check Li Mu's value systematically, he can even be in the forefront of the world's rich list.
Larry Page didn't know why Li Mu wanted to see him. In his opinion, he couldn't compare with Li Mu, so naturally he didn't think that he would be adored by the other side.
Li Mu and Larry Page shook hands and said hello. They sat opposite each other. Li Mu said sincerely to Larry Page, "Mr. Page, as a Google fan, I want to see you for a long time. It's a great honor to finally have the chance to meet you today."
Larry Page didn't expect Li Mu to say so politely, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Li is so kind. In contrast, I am a fan of Muye technology. YY, as an excellent product, I use it every day. It is very helpful to improve work efficiency and save me a lot of time. It is definitely the best auxiliary office software I have used, which is very helpful Great. "
Li Mu smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Page, you should see that the essence of YY is not auxiliary office software..."
Larry Page hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, but I made a mistake."
With that, Larry Page added: "YY itself is really a perfect and incredible social communication software. To be honest, when I met YY, I always doubted that it should not be the product of our time."
Li Mu was surprised and couldn't help asking him, "why do you say that?"
Larry Page seriously said: "in my opinion, YY is so perfect in all aspects that it can't be imagined. In my opinion, it hardly follows the rules of all Internet products in this era. Its visual design language alone surpasses all Internet products today, and its interaction experience also shows unprecedented user friendliness, which is far from the present Our products can be compared with each other, and most importantly, the highly humanized function of YY products highlights that the founders have a very deep understanding of user needs. In a word, this product really surpasses the times. "
As he said, Larry Page looked at Li Mu and said with a smile: "to develop such a perfect product proves that your thinking mode has surpassed this era. Without you and Muye technology, the Internet industry may take more than five years to reach your height."
Larry Page's evaluation made Li Mu feel cold at the back in a flash. It was hard to describe the tension in his heart. On the one hand, he didn't expect that he would give such a high evaluation to his products. On the other hand, he would give a seemingly exaggerated evaluation of "beyond the times", but in fact, it was infinitely close to the reality.
Frankly speaking, Li Mu did not consider the issue of "time frame" in the process of pursuing product height, but after Larry Page's indirect reminder, Li Mu finally had the consciousness of "time frame".The so-called "framework of the times", to put it bluntly, is what the era itself should look like. If there is something beyond the framework of the era, it will immediately appear particularly different.
Today's YY is really beyond the times. It uses the design language, interaction method and product function that Tengxun has used for many years, countless versions, little bit precipitated after many years. In every aspect, it reflects the deep understanding of users' various needs. Ordinary users do not have a sensitive industry sense of smell, and only think this software is too easy to use, but for Larry ·It's not surprising that page is such an industry God.
If we erase all the brand information of an S-class Benz in 2016 and take it to the automobile industry in 2002 to study, I'm afraid that will be the same feeling.
In 2002, the outstanding automobile designers, even the automobile designers of Mercedes Benz, will be shocked, because they can see at a glance that the S-class Mercedes Benz in 2016, in terms of air intake and exhaust, front and rear surround, waist line edges and corners, is not the design language shared by major manufacturers in this era at all;
in 2002, the chassis tuning engineer will also find that this 20 The 16-year-old Mercedes Benz has a complex and advanced chassis, which is far beyond their own understanding. If it is combined with the high-end thing like electromagnetic suspension, they will be more skeptical of life;
I'm afraid that the engine engineer in 2002 will also be surprised. Why can this 2016 Mercedes Benz, with the displacement of 3.0, give off nearly 400 horsepower? And their 3.2-liter engine is only 220 horsepower?
In 2002, the transmission engineers will also marvel that the top automatic transmission they can make has only five forward gears, and the technology is not mature enough, and the shift response speed is very slow, but why can this car achieve seven? Moreover, the switching speed of seven gears is amazing, and at the same time, it is extremely smooth.
Today's YY is such a product. It will not only make ordinary employees feel despair, but also make top employees like Larry Page feel extraordinarily surprised. Li Mu even doubts whether someone will treat YY like Larry Page, and at the same time, it will be more jumping and bold than Larry Page's thinking, and even whether someone will dare to assume themselves Is it a passer-by coming back from the future world?
When Li Mu was nervous, Larry Page saw Li Mu's silence and said, "in my opinion, it's because of so many epoch-making progress that YY has become a epoch-making product. It's like" without library, it's very difficult for readers to find books, so I have an idea. Can we build one on the Internet? "‘ Library "is like a library collecting all kinds of works and creating a collection catalog. I can download all the information on the Internet, and then search every page to form a product similar to the library catalog. In this way, if users want to see any kind of works, they just need to search my library catalog and there will be There are related works he wants to see. "
Li Mu is surprised to say: "Google's creativity is actually from the library?"
Larry Page nodded: "yes, the most appropriate explanation for the so-called search engine is" library + book catalog ". Google's program will continue to grab all kinds of information on the Internet and build itself into the largest and most complete" library "in the world."
When Li Mu heard Larry Page's metaphor, he suddenly thought of Google Books in the future, the super online library with more than 20 million e-books in the future. However, in his impression, the birth of Google Books was later, so Li Mu asked him, "Mr. Page, since you think Google's original intention is so close to the library, have you ever thought about doing it To be a real online library, digitize as many paper books as possible, and then put them online for people to read? "
Larry Page was shocked and speechless. In fact, he has launched the secret plan of Google Books this year. Unexpectedly, the model of the secret plan was guessed by Li Mu
