YY has undoubtedly become an epoch-making super product, and its user growth rate in the United States and even around the world is frightening.
Ordinary users are bewitched by YY, elite pay homage to YY, and employees feel flustered because of YY, but the most flustered is a lot of American capital.
Silicon Valley and Wall Street have talked about the first round of venture capital financing with Muye technology, and now they have all regretted it. With the rapid development of YY, they have finally seen the development potential of Muye technology.
Not long ago, Li Mu offered a $17 billion price for Muye technology. Now, due to the soaring number of users, the valuation is also rising at the same time.
Until now, venture capital has reassessed the valuation of Muye technology, and the result is that the current valuation of Muye technology has been firmly standing at the level of 20 billion US dollars, and the force of super products has been born.
Sequoia appraisal director's previous estimate of Muye technology is even more radical than the industry's estimate. They have taken the explosion of YY into account for a long time, and gave a comprehensive estimate of up to $22 billion. Now, from the development of YY, it should be no problem to have $22 billion.
Aware of the speed of light in the development of Makino technology, Sequoia's board of directors made a decision: this time, in any case, Makino technology can't be missed, and Sequoia should fully learn from the last failure, and definitely can't stand on the price for too long.
With the rapid development of Muye technology, the speed of future valuation will be very fast. Sequoia finally understands from this. If there is an opportunity to invest in the C round of Muye technology, then Sequoia is basically the last financing before Muye technology goes public. At this time, it doesn't matter to enter with a higher valuation, because it will be available in the stock market To greater returns! This is what we really need to pay attention to!
As a result, Sequoia decided to change its thinking and ask for a second financing negotiation with Li Mu in the most sincere way.
However, when Sequoia decided to renegotiate with Li Mu at a valuation of $22 billion, it was told that Li Mu had already flown to Cambridge, Massachusetts on the same day.
At this time, Li Mu was on a flight to Boston, the capital of Massachusetts.
Li Mu can't wait to go to Cambridge, embrace Harvard and Mark Zuckerberg!
In particular, Mark Zuckerberg and Li Mu know that it's too difficult and tiring to successfully run a super product. He has realized this through the operation of YY. Therefore, he must continue to recruit talents under his command and recruit super experts who can carry a super product in a global scale.
Elder martial brother Liu is a super expert in the field of e-commerce, master Lei is a super expert in the field of mobile phones and marketing, and Mark Zuckerberg can lead Facebook to become a super giant with a market value of more than 400 billion US dollars. The trading ability behind this has almost ranked the top in the world.
It's because Mark Zuckerberg is so rebellious, so at the beginning of his business, Li Mu thought that he must be taken down, but he didn't expect that this kid should be caught by himself. So on this trip to Harvard, Li Mu has already thought that he should be included in his own ranks no matter what.
……
Li Mu's plane arrived in Boston at 3 p.m., and Cambridge, where Harvard is located, is next to Boston. He got off the plane in Boston and drove half an hour to Harvard University.
Li Mu originally planned to stay in the five-star hotel in Boston after his party arrived in Boston today, have a rest for one night, and go directly to Harvard University in the morning tomorrow, meet with the school leaders, and walk through the ceremony. Then he made a speech in Harvard, and he could go back to Silicon Valley to talk about financing, but because he had previously focused on Paradise town and YY A series of major actions, resulting in their own now not only in the United States, more attention at home.
For the domestic people, Li Mu is even more concerned than the Olympic athletes who went abroad to compete in the Olympic Games. He is also proud of his country. But Li Mu uses another way that the Chinese people have never witnessed before.
The Chinese people are eager to be recognized and respected by the world. However, just from the perspective of enterprises, before Li Mu, there was no enterprise in China that could make such an impact in the American market. Therefore, every Chinese compatriot is always paying attention to Li Mu's every move in the United States.
This time, Li Mu was invited to Harvard to give a speech. CCTV had learned in advance that relevant news had already been broadcast in China. The domestic audience paid special attention to Li Mu's speech at Harvard. It is said that there are a large number of users on the domestic Internet discussing what Li Mu will tell college students at the top American institutions at Harvard.
In fact, Li Mu is not the first Chinese entrepreneur to be invited to give a speech at Harvard. As early as last century, Zhang Ruimin of Haier Group once gave a speech at Harvard University and stepped on the platform of Harvard University. Moreover, in accordance with the historical steps, if he did not regenerate, boss Ma should have been invited to give a speech at Harvard last year or this year, Li Mu didn't see the relevant video materials, but in the speech video of another boss Ma, he saw that boss Ma told some of his own shaking and clever stories about his speech at Harvard.However, since he founded Taobao and deviated the rhythm of Alibaba bar, boss Ma's development path has changed dramatically. He can't get the chance to give a speech at Harvard now, and I'm afraid he won't have such a chance in the future.
By the time the plane landed, several Harvard University managers had been waiting at the airport with young Mark Zuckerberg for a long time.
Mark Zuckerberg, young, was both excited and nervous at the moment.
Excited because he can see his most adored idol right away. Li Mu, who is less than two years older than himself, is very excited when anyone is about to face his biggest idol.
As for the tension, it's all because of Mark Zuckerberg's lack of heart.
At first, he cheated the school with his family's lies about working in Muye technology, and then he took the invitation letter from the school to deal with Li Mu. If Li Mu came, his lies would probably be exposed. At that time, he did not know how the school would deal with him.
The staff of Harvard University are very excited at the moment. There is no doubt that Li Mu is now the target of American elites and capital. YY's influence in the United States is rising rapidly. At this time, Li Mu's popularity can be imagined, but he would promise to come to Harvard to give a speech at such a critical moment. This is the embodiment of his great respect for Harvard Harvard also attached great importance to Li Mu's visit.
David Allen, vice president of the board of directors of Harvard University, is the highest ranking executive of Harvard University. His actual position in the management of Harvard University can be ranked in the top three.
In addition to David Allen, there are several members of the board of directors in the management of Harvard peers. Harvard University has a comprehensive consideration. They understand that Li Mu's major in Renmin University of China is finance, and he himself is a $10 billion entrepreneur. Therefore, he devoted himself to the best of his ability and arranged the dean of Harvard Business School to pick up the opportunity.
For the board of directors of Harvard University, Li Mu is a rare young talent, but it is not the object that they need to actively flatter. However, the biggest reason for giving such a high standard of attention is a kind of mentality of giving back to Li Mu. It is a kind of feedback to Li Mu when he chooses to visit Harvard.
When the plane stopped stably in the corridor bridge, Li Mu and several of his entourage came out together, a group of people from Harvard University recognized him immediately. The sign with the Chinese character "Li Mu" they prepared was not even used. Because Li Mu's appearance, they really knew it well. Even if they had not met, they had seen a lot of relevant image data.
Li Mu also recognized a group of people from Harvard University at a glance, because he saw Mark Zuckerberg, who was nervous and immature.
David Allen was very excited to shake hands with Li Mu for half a day. On behalf of the Harvard Board of directors and the committee, he said welcome for most of the day, which started to introduce the people who came to pick up the plane with him.
Li Mu also met the dean of Harvard Business School for the first time, the white old man named Martin Goodman.
David Allen finally introduced the young Mark Zuckerberg to Li Mu after introducing all the people. At the moment, David Allen didn't know that Mark Zuckerberg had no relationship with Li Mu at all. He didn't have any relatives working in pastoral science and technology. He thought that everything Mark Zuckerberg said before was 100% true Otherwise, it's impossible for a living Li Mu to stand in front of him.
David Allen patted Mark Zuckerberg on the shoulder and said to Li Mu with a smile, "this is Mark Zuckerberg, who sent you an invitation on behalf of Harvard. He is a new student of Harvard this year. If he had no relatives working in the field of science and technology, I'm afraid it would be difficult for Harvard to invite you to our school for a while."
At the first moment, Li Mu was a little shocked. Looking at Mark Zuckerberg, the young man's expression was already a little stiff, and his face was full of tension and anxiety.
Li Mu's brain was spinning fast. After a little thought, he figured out a general idea. So he put aside his surprise, took the initiative to extend his hand and said to Mark Zuckerberg, "thank you for your efforts to build this bridge between me and Harvard University."
Mark Zuckerberg's eyes moistened at this moment. When David Allen said that, he was afraid that Li Mu would question it. In that way, he would immediately expose his horse's feet. But he didn't expect that Li Mu would not question it, but he also actively shook hands with himself and thanked him. Although Li Mu knew that he had lied about it, he did I don't investigate or expose it at all, and help me to round up my lies
This magnanimity of Li Mu makes young Mark Zuckerberg feel touched by nothing more
