Chapter 1044

Li Mu is not ready to give Sequoia any face now.

Once the financing window is closed, opening it again is not the calculation of any capital, but that of Li Mu himself.

If you refuse me in the first round, then you have to see my face if you want to find me again. He doesn't worry about Sequoia's resentment because in the eyes of capital, interests are the most important.

In fact, when talking with Sequoia for the first time, Li Mu himself was setting up a suit for Sequoia. He knew that his offer would be rejected by Sequoia, but he insisted on the offer and put his posture very high. What he wanted was for Sequoia to refuse.

If Sequoia refused, all the initiative in the future would be in its own hands. On the contrary, if Sequoia had agreed, Li Mu would have been the fool.

Fortunately, Sequoia has its own pride. It has performed perfectly according to Li Mu's script, and the highest ranking of school flowers in paradise town has also received huge social attention. With this foundation, in the future, all the initiative is in Li Mu's hands.

Larry Page really shoulders the task of persuading Li Mu. The CEO of Sequoia hopes that he can influence Li Mu from the side and let Li Mu restart the negotiation with Sequoia as soon as possible, but the result is cruel. Li Mu refuses so simply that he doesn't make any change because of Larry Page's face, or even a polite word I think about.

Sequoia held an internal seminar to discuss and speculate on the opening time of the next financing window of Muye technology. Most people think that Li Mu will go all out to keep the "top list of school flowers in the United States" hot, and it is likely to open the financing window again in the final stage of the "top list of school flowers in the United States", which is the time when the "top list of school flowers in the United States" is hot.

The CEO of Sequoia has no way to deal with this. This guess conforms to the financing law of most enterprises. The financing and stock operation are the same. The stock holders hope to sell when the stock price is the highest. As the stock holders, Li Mu and Muye technology's shareholders must have the same idea.

At the thought of 17 billion business, it is possible for the CEO to achieve more than 20 billion by himself, or even to make a clean slate by himself. The CEO is also under great pressure.

However, Li Mu's performance in the United States continues.

The activity of "the highest list of school flowers in the United States" really attracted the attention of the United States, but it eventually had a huge limitation: the direct participants of the activity, as well as the beneficiaries of the huge rewards of the activity, were all limited to the group of female college students in the school, a total of millions of people, and many other people were just running, maybe more than 100 million people would pay attention, but they could really pay Those who devote their time and energy to running can only occupy a small part.

So, how can hundreds of millions of Americans participate in and benefit from Paradise town? We need to start Li Mu's second plan.

So, the day after Li Mu and Larry Page met, the official news of Paradise town released again.

"Paradise town - Thanksgiving global competition" was officially launched.

This activity is aimed at all users of Paradise town in the world. Of course, because domestic users play happy farm, not paradise Town, domestic users are not in the scope of this activity. This competition focuses on the players in the American market.

As for the domestic market, Li Mu and the operation team of happy farm have negotiated. Because the data of happy farm and Paradise town are not interconnected at present, they try not to play games in foreign festivals in the domestic market. They can set up a phase for domestic users in traditional festivals such as Chinese New Year, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid Autumn Festival Activities to be carried out.

In Li Mu's strategic plan, "Paradise town Thanksgiving global competition" is a strategic complementarity of "the highest list of school flowers in the United States". If the latter only allows female college students in the United States to participate in and benefit from it, then all users in the United States will have the opportunity to benefit from it.

The participation requirements of "Paradise town Thanksgiving global competition" are very simple. As long as the registered players of the game, they can directly participate in this interesting competition in the game. The players raise the specified Turkey, make the formulated feed and plant the specified agricultural crops according to the rules. By the end of 24:00 on Thanksgiving Day, the global player list will be calculated, and the top 10000 players will play Every family has a big bonus.

According to Li Mu's plan in China, only the top 100 of "Paradise town Thanksgiving global competition" can be awarded. However, due to the temporary increase of "the highest list of school flowers in the United States", the degree of attention to the activity has increased sharply, so Li Mu also temporarily increased the bonus of "Tiantang town Thanksgiving global competition" this time.

First of all, the first prize, from the previous 100000 US dollars, has been directly raised to one million US dollars, the second is 500000 US dollars, the third is 300000 US dollars;

the fourth to the sixth is 100000 US dollars;

the seventh to the tenth is 50000 US dollars;

the 11th to the 20th is 10000 US dollars;

the 21st to the 50th is 5000 US dollars;

the 51st To the 100th place: three thousand dollars;No. 101 to No. 10000: one thousand dollars;

the reason why we want to increase the reward range from the first 100 to the first 10000 dollars is to further expand the influence and make all potential players feel that the chance to get the reward is greater.

Li Mu's calculation is very simple. Tens of millions of dollars of bonus seems very frightening, but these bonuses are also promising costs. If this competition can attract a large number of users for paradise Town, it is a very cost-effective business in itself. Moreover, the proportion of users' payment in paradise town is very high, and then the global competition will surely prompt a large number of users to pay Fee to participate in the game, may not wait for Thanksgiving to really come, the tens of millions of dollars in reward costs have been received back.

The main purpose of Li Mu's holding this event is to mobilize the enthusiasm of Internet users across the United States and make all players potential beneficiaries. What's more, it can be deeply combined with the "top list of school flowers in the United States".

According to the rules of "the highest list of school flowers in the United States", whether players want to vote for their favorite school flowers or ordinary people want to vote for their favorite school flowers, they must complete the corresponding tasks in the game to get the corresponding "resident certificate". Before that, all the motivation for players to get the "resident certificate" comes from two aspects: first, the game itself Second, the attraction of school flowers.

Now, there's another motivation for players to get "resident certificate" - participate in the "Paradise town Thanksgiving global competition". By participating in this Thanksgiving competition, players can complete the demand for "resident certificate" in the game, and get "resident certificate", and there are millions of dollars of bonus waiting for them to fight for, so users There are two complementary power systems.

The players who were originally interested in the "national school flower list" now have a strong new impetus.

The players who were not interested in the "national school flower rankings" originally, driven by the Thanksgiving competition, can naturally participate in the competition without paying more behavioral costs, which is very interesting.

It's like the starting point of the monthly ticket policy. If it's relatively difficult to obtain the monthly ticket, only some hardcore fans will find ways to obtain it in order to vote for their favorite books. In this way, the enthusiasm of ordinary users to vote for the monthly ticket will be greatly reduced. Therefore, the product logic is defined as: as long as the legitimate subscription reaches a certain amount, it can be automatically obtained Get a monthly ticket, so that the legitimate users can get the monthly ticket by the way when they are reading normally. In this way, the enthusiasm of voting will increase greatly.

What Li Mu wants to play now is to work in two ways. At the same time, let everyone have a prize to play. If you play well, you can get a cash prize. At the same time, let everyone play and get the "resident certificate" of the highest ranking of school flowers in the United States. Kill two birds with one stone.

Li Mu's plan soon worked.

When the American netizens envied the American female college students and wanted to brush the "resident certificate" for them for various reasons, the "Paradise town - Thanksgiving global competition" was launched.

The operators of Paradise town finally thought of them, and made a competition for them, and gave tens of millions of dollars of high cash rewards, which gave a huge stimulus to all groups except non female college students, and a time of extraordinary social influence.

After the launch of Thanksgiving competition, the number of users of Paradise town began to surge. The number of registered users in the United States quickly exceeded 50 million, becoming the online game with the largest number of registered users in the United States, and the online game with the highest number of online users per day, reaching more than 30 million.

Just recently, a report released by the United Nations shows that the total number of Internet users in the United States at this stage is about 143 million, of which the most visited website is Microsoft's MSN, with a daily visit of about 90 million. The software with the largest daily users is also Microsoft's MSN, with nearly 100 million daily users.

The number of daily users of "Paradise town" has been rising rapidly. This rising data shocked Microsoft. The popularity of "Paradise town" is not big for other Internet companies in the United States, although it will be impacted as a whole, but the impact is not big. However, Microsoft obviously can not sit.

MSN is Microsoft's leading product in the field of instant messaging at this stage. They know that there is a huge gap between MSN and YY. Although they are catching up head-on, this gap will not be able to catch up in a short time. At present, Paradise town is booming in the U.S. market. What Microsoft is most worried about is that paradise town begins to lead to YY. Once paradise town leads to YY Stream, tens of millions of MSN users may be lost overnight
