Chapter 1080

Li Mu's two days in Los Angeles, several venture capitalists led by Sequoia have been out of control.

He had been amazed by the rising data of Makino technology. As a result, Li Mu turned around and ran to Hollywood. He attended the charity dinner of a famous director, which immediately became the focus of the whole United States.

When Li Mu becomes the focus of the society, the number of users of YY and Paradise town will continue to soar, which will inevitably promote the flow of the whole platform.

For the current Muye technology, user volume and flow are the key factors affecting the valuation.

If we let Muye technology wash all the Internet users around the world and make them all YY users, Muye technology may even become the Internet enterprise with the highest valuation in the world.

The most important reason why the industry gives such a high estimate to Muye technology and YY is that YY's user viscosity is too high, and the proportion of users' payment is too high.

In this era, such products are almost invincible. Even if other products can achieve the user scale of YY, they will never be able to do the payment flow of YY. MSN and ICQ have never found a way in value-added services. Such products in the most prosperous stage of user model, the overall flow is less than 1% of the current flow of YY. Li Mu makes money There are simply too many ways to win, and the win lies in the fact that YY users are willing to pay for his complicated paid value-added services.

The spread speed of YY in the world is amazing. Many Internet companies and analysis critics believe that YY is most likely to become the first super software covering the world's Internet users. As a result, it is likely to be the first Internet company in the world. For such a company, venture capital has completely lost its previous arrogance What I want to do is to get the investment in Makino technology as soon as possible.

Round C is definitely the last round of financing for Muye technology. Next, Li Mu will definitely send it to NASDAQ, so now is the last chance for VC to get on the bus.

Sequoia executives have been uncertain about the final offer, and the $22 billion valuation has become a thing of the past. When Li Mu conquered the American audience at Harvard, the valuation of Muye technology is equivalent to pulling several limit boards in a row, which is extremely good for interest consumption. Some enterprises will never meet it again in their lives.

Just before Sequoia executives prepared to offer 30 billion US dollars, it happened to be the time when Li Mugang left Hollywood and returned to Silicon Valley. Anne Hathaway, who was in Hollywood, received a joint interview with Hollywood Reporter, an authoritative Hollywood magazine, and a Hollywood TV station.

In this interview, most of the questions raised by the media about Anne Hathaway are almost related to Li Mu.

No way, the American people are particularly concerned about the feelings of this little American Princess. Everyone is looking forward to the moment when she and Li Mu determine their relationship. Although Li Mu's Pastoral technology represents a victory in the Internet industry in China in the United States, for the American people, if Li Mu can fall in love with an American girl, it is also a victory for the American people to some extent Victory.

Media reporters asked Anne Hathaway a lot of questions about Li Mu, such as how she knew Li Mu, her impression of Li Mu, their relationship and their future development.

Anne Hathaway dare not talk nonsense to the media, so she is very cautious in answering every question. For example, she just knew Li Mu and was not familiar with him. As for her impression of Li Mu, she used the word "worship" more, describing Li Mu as her biggest idol.

Seeing Anne Hathaway clarify her relationship with Li Mu, the reporter of Hollywood Reporter couldn't help asking her, "don't you have any plans to further develop with Li Mu?"

Anne Hathaway didn't know how to answer this sharp question for a while. She thought about it. At last, she could only say: "I have no plan for this. Besides, we only met ordinary friends twice. As for what will happen in the future, I prefer to let it go."

The reporter asked her, "I have only met twice. Do you exchange contact information?"

"Of course." Anne Hathaway said, "we added each other's YY friends."

Anne Hathaway made a media broadcast for YY, which made YY's enthusiasm rise a lot again.

Part of Anne Hathaway's interview, broadcast on TV, is like the last straw to crush a camel. Sequoia's board of directors can no longer sit.

The exposure of YY in the whole western society is continuous and ubiquitous. In this case, it is impossible to wait for the topic of YY in the western world to cool down. In this case, the more you wait, the higher the valuation of Makino technology.

The day after Li Mu returned to Silicon Valley, Ding Zhenglin told him that Sequoia had adjusted its offer again. This time, Sequoia Capital valued Muye technology at $30 billion.

$30 billion!

As long as Li Mu nods, there will be three billion dollars in cash immediately. This money is of great significance to Li Mu's future world Internet strategy.Li Mu was almost ready to agree, but suddenly he thought of something he had neglected.

Yahoo reporter met himself at the media conference at Harvard, and his promise to build an English Portal and vigorously do YY email has not been fulfilled.

So Li Mu immediately made two decisions.

First, the content team that immediately digs Yahoo and other English portals is the real heavy money, which directly gives more than five times of the treatment, so as to ensure that a strong English content operation team can be quickly won. As long as the content team arrives, directly opening an English version on YY network can realize the demand of English portals, and the online is just around the corner;

Second, immediately shut down YY mailbox for ya The first one needs to be implemented step by step, but the second one is too straightforward.

Li Mu wants to force mailbox users to stand in line by tough means.

YY's email function is indeed very powerful, and its effect on business people is irreplaceable. YY's email reminder function is extremely convenient, not to mention a whole set of proxy sending and receiving functions similar to Foxmail, and YY's exclusive online preview function. In this case, even if YY users do not register YY's email, they will surely use YY's email to send and receive other emails , YY users who use Yahoo mailbox can directly add their own Yahoo mailbox in YY mailbox, so that they can use Yahoo mailbox on YY, and use the whole set of functions of YY mailbox.

However, when YY stops supporting the sending and receiving of Yahoo mail, YY users of Yahoo mail can no longer use YY's own mailbox related functions to support their own Yahoo mail.

This move is Li Mu's sweeping move for Yahoo. If you want to continue to use YY's powerful support for the mailbox function, you must replace Yahoo's mailbox and choose any other mailbox besides Yahoo.

Therefore, Muye technology announced to the public: "due to the technical problems in the internal interface of YY mailbox, it is temporarily unable to support the proxy sending and receiving support of Yahoo mailbox, please let all users know!"

Muye technology didn't say that it deliberately blocked the support for the generation receiving and sending of Yahoo mail, but adopted the golden saying of "technical problems". The main reason is to occupy a reason first. I didn't mean to stop the support for Yahoo mail, but I had to stop because of the technical problems, and I don't know when to recover, maybe tomorrow, maybe It won't recover next year.

Such a statement is basically flawless, because even if the whole world knows that the technology is intentional, no one can blame the technology.

The email forwarding function is a free additional function of YY email. Makino technology itself is not obliged to support the forwarding function 100%. If it can not support some email due to technical reasons, it is entirely reasonable and legal to suspend the service of some email.

As soon as the announcement of Muye technology was launched, Yahoo immediately realized the great influence of Muye technology.

At present, about 40% of the users of Yahoo mailbox use the function of sending and receiving on behalf of YY mailbox, so as to realize all the operation requirements of Yahoo mailbox in the software environment of YY. Now YY stops supporting Yahoo mailbox, and this 40% of the users are suddenly flashed.

Yahoo's share price fell 7% because of this event, which shows the proportion of email service in the whole Yahoo system.

YY is Li Mu's closed ecological product. He asked YY mailbox to support the generation of other mailboxes for receiving and sending, which is just like opening a little gap of YY closed ecology. But for users of Yahoo mailbox, they had to immediately give up Yahoo mailbox, register other mailboxes, and gradually transfer to other mailboxes for the super experience of YY mailbox.

In the face of the ultra-high viscosity products like YY, those users who have to choose one from the other almost all choose YY, so the loss of Yahoo mail users is huge!

A large number of Yahoo email users began to migrate their email to other platforms, which is just the beginning of Li Mulian's Yahoo. Not only the email, but also everyone is waiting for Li Mu to fulfill all his promises, that is, the greater treasure root of Yahoo, the portal.

After that, Muye Technology issued a public recruitment letter to the public, aiming at the high salary recruitment of website content personnel across the United States. Although there is no clear purpose for Muye technology to recruit website content personnel, everyone knows that Li Mu is really going to make the English version of YY. Once the English version of YY is online, with the pop-up window of YY, Li Mu can almost monopolize the traffic resources.

Li Mu's way of doing this has made the whole American Internet applaud, because everyone once saw the scene of Yahoo reporter accepting Li Mu, and felt that Yahoo reporter was a little too arrogant. Now Li Mu suddenly started to fight back, which is particularly in line with the American values. They are just looking forward to YY to bring some greater impact to Yahoo, so that Yahoo can have a greater impact Know the price of pride and arrogance.

Therefore, the public opinion on the Internet scolded Yahoo. They all said that Yahoo was doing its own thing this time. And indeed, according to Li Mu's words at the press conference, "it's impossible for Yahoo to affect Muye technology. On the contrary, Muye technology can affect Yahoo in many ways!"
