In the days when Li Mu captured the headlines of Western media and made American VCs sleepy, MSN and ICQ are experiencing the same sadness.
The precipice collapse of the daily users made the two product directors want to cry without tears. The speed is amazing. It seems that there were more than 100 million daily active users yesterday. Today, there are only tens of millions left, and one day later, there are only tens of millions left.
For these two registered users reaching hundreds of millions of scale software, the most critical indicator to measure the scale of software is no longer the number of registered users, but the number of daily active users. Only the number of active users can highlight the actual influence of this product. If there are hundreds of millions of registered users and only one million daily active users, it can be seen that this software has already At the end of the crossbow, time is running out.
The users of MSN and ICQ are highly overlapped with YY. The positioning of this product for the user group is the users who need instant messaging on the cable, and this strong demand basically covers all the Internet users, so the competition of the three products is all-round. Once Li Mu's YY is in full trouble, the other two will be affected immediately.
At the same time, the average usage time of MSN and ICQ users also plummeted.
In the past, the average use time of daily life users was nearly two hours, but now it has fallen to less than 30 minutes. In less than a month, the two softwares were severely damaged by YY. According to the current trend, it's very difficult to stop the current crash, let alone try to turn the tide.
Under the comprehensive impact of wechat, Momo can achieve a market value of several billion dollars. The most fundamental reason is that Momo has given up the same comprehensive battlefield as wechat, chose the vertical positioning of "professional P" and immediately staggered with the positioning of wechat, so as to return to a place of survival. This kind of play is like one day after Wal Mart ruled the global comprehensive supermarket , other supermarkets are transformed into sunny fun products.
At the same time of MSN's decline, interestingly, Lin Qingya received the official message from Microsoft. Bill Gates refused to meet Li Mu. Although he had agreed before, this time, he directly refused to meet Li Mu for the reason that his personal time could not be allocated.
Lin Qingya joked to Li Mu: "bill gates should be very unhappy about YY's move to crush MSN, so he decided to break his promise temporarily?"
Li Mu said with a smile, "maybe he is worried about the charity fund."
Lin Qingya suddenly realized.
As the richest man, Bill Gates's charity fund is very famous. Because he donated all Microsoft shares to the foundation established by himself and his wife, the fund now has more than 20 billion dollars in hand, and the annual return on investment is more than 2 billion dollars. However, it is unclear how much of it is used for charity. Li Mu dare not say Bill Gates' charitable foundation is to avoid taxes, but because of its largest scale, many media and individuals are now calling on his foundation to disclose the direction of funds, which may bring some troubles to Bill Gates.
Just after Bill Gates refused Li Mu, Elon Musk, who made a lot of money in PayPal, once again visited.
This is the second time since Li Mu came to the United States, Elon Musk took the initiative to come to the door. Li Mu has some respect for him, so he is quite polite to him. But for Elon Musk, he came to visit Li Mu, basically to pay homage to the wharf. Li Mugang has just become the focus of attention in the United States and the whole western world. We can imagine the future development prospect of Li Mu How magnificent the base is, so he also hopes to have a good relationship with Li Mu. It's better to be a friend.
At present, although he is busy with paypal with all his heart, he knows that PayPal is only the dependence of his own capital accumulation at this stage. In the future, he must leave PayPal to try what he really wants to do, so it is necessary to have a good relationship with Li Mu. In the next few years, he will be the new richest man in the world. At that time, he will be like If he wants to open a new project, Li Mu can bring him huge funds and resources.
As soon as they met, Elon Musk congratulated Li Mu on the miracle he had created at Harvard, and then exclaimed, "today, the media said that your speech at Harvard may become the most expensive speech in history, because the valuation of Muye technology was indirectly raised by billions of dollars in this speech, which is really admirable."
Li Mu said with a smile, "don't believe what the media said. They are not capital. They say that a few billion dollars increase means a few billion dollars increase."
Elon Musk said with a smile, "but on the current trend, they don't have to be wrong."
"It all depends on the actual business growth of Muye technology and the development of the whole industry," Li Mu said with a smile
Elon Musk seriously said: "at this speed, by the end of this year, YY will be able to break through 200 million users. At that time, the flow of value-added business alone will reach several hundred million, not to mention its high user viscosity, and the average daily use time is also the leader of all software at this stage. Once the online advertising industry is launched Business, and will be a huge income! These potential, capital in the heart is like a mirror! "Li Mu nodded softly. All the payments of YY overseas are made through PayPal. Elon Musk must be very clear about the current flow of YY. It can be said that Elon Musk is the one who knows the most about YY at present, except for Li Mu and the senior management of Muye technology.
The bank is the most familiar with the people's income level, and the payment channel is the most familiar with the revenue capacity of Internet products.
Because YY is the shareholder of PayPal, PayPal is the only payment channel of YY overseas, which means PayPal knows the changes of YY's flow.
Through the recent recharge flow change of YY, Elon Musk can not only see the current revenue capacity of YY, but also analyze the approximate curve of the recent surge of new users of YY through the increase of payment users. After all, he is also one of the Internet giants. These data are enough to judge the current overall valuation level of Makino technology.
Li Mu said with a joking smile, "so it's really wise for YY to invest in PayPal. Otherwise, all our current situation will be firmly controlled by a payment channel. It's terrible to think about it."
Elon Musk was always humble in front of Li Mu, so he spoke with great respect and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, don't forget that you are one of my bosses. I am working for you and eBay at the same time!
Li Mu said modestly, "YY is your business, and eBay and I are just taking a ride to earn some money."
Elon Musk laughed and said to Li Mu, "by the way, President Li, I'm here today. I want to convey an invitation to you in addition to the congratulations."
Li Mu asked curiously, "what invitation?"
Elon Musk said: "well, recently, your speech's influence has been increasing, which has brought a lot of impact to the charity industry. Many charity funds and organizations are under great pressure. Now they are starting to do high-profile charity activities to divert their attention. Hollywood has a charity organization specially set up for African children malaria. This time, they held a charity dinner to prepare the model Follow your example, announce all the income and future expenditure of this charity party to the whole society, and accept social supervision. "
Then Elon Musk added, "I'm also here to invite you to their charity dinner party on behalf of the sponsor of this charity organization. If you are interested, you can take time to turn around."
Li Mu was stunned and said, "let's forget about the charity dinner. I'm really busy with the work at hand, or I'll donate some money as my heart's desire."
Elon Musk said in a hurry, "I really don't come to you to raise money. It's mainly because the sponsor of this charity has a good relationship with my sister, and I hope you can come to promote the popularity of this charity, so I entrusted my sister, and my sister entrusted me, so..."
Li Mu asked curiously, "is your sister from the film and television industry?"
Elon Musk nodded and said, "my sister has an independent film company in Hollywood. I'm a little involved in it. We both like movies, but she chose the industry and I chose the Internet."
Li Muruo nodded thoughtfully and asked him, "who did you say this charity organization was made by? What is the nature of it? "
"First of all, I'd like to explain to you that their charity organization is not in the form of a foundation, but is spontaneously established by several Hollywood tycoons. The leader is a director. I don't know if he is famous in your China. His name is Steven Spielberg..."
Li Mu looked at Elon Musk with a dog's expression on his face, and said slightly sullenly, "you have taken China as Africa? When I was in high school, our school organized us to watch Jurassic Park! "
"That's great," Elon Musk said with a smile. "So you're also his fan, so just move to Hollywood as if you're going to meet Steven."
After saying this, Elon Musk, afraid that Li Mu would not be moved, hurriedly added: "there are quite a lot of Hollywood stars, Tom Cruise do you know? And Leonardo DiCaprio! "
Li Mu stared at Elon Musk with black face. Although his expression was not good, he was surprised.
Good guy, Tom Cruise, and Leonardo DiCaprio are all his favorite actors, and Steven Spielberg is also his favorite director. He can't even say that he's a fan of them. Just for these three guys, he has to go to a show!
