Chapter 1082

There are many contingencies and inevitabilities in history. The concept of centralization is the inevitability of the development of the Internet at a certain stage. However, Li Mu's hegemonic attitude towards Yahoo lets Ben.Clarkson By chance, he became the proponent of the concept.

And Ben.Clarkson Take out this concept, let yourself be recognized by the whole industry, and at the same time, return Li Mu with this concept.

When the concept of centralization is put forward, the only products that can meet the requirements on the market are basically two, one is YY, the other is Microsoft's windows.

But windows itself is a platform open to all developers, which is very different from YY. Any software developer can develop their own products on windows without the review and approval of Microsoft and windows, but YY is different. All its product functions are divided and controlled by YY itself.

Taking the current YY game platform as an example, Li Mu can allow other chess and card game development companies to put their own small games under the YY game platform for operation today, and then divide the game flow with the game development company, but he can also let each other's games off the shelf from his own platform at any time, and YY has absolute control over the YY game platform, so that , it is a real central product.

A YY game is the same, not to mention the ecology of the whole YY product.

As the only representative product of the current centralized concept, YY's attention has been boosted again. This time, the companies in the industry have regarded Makino technology as a God, accidentally making it achieve such a large scale and such a powerful influence, which makes the entire Internet industry marvel at it.

Therefore, Li Mu made a final offer to Sequoia at the negotiation table: the c-round financing of Muye technology is valued at US $33 billion, Sequoia purchased 10% shares of Muye technology with us $3.3 billion in cash, which are diluted by existing shareholders of Muye technology as a whole, but Sequoia only owns shares, does not have any voting rights, and does not interfere with the daily operation of the enterprise. Meanwhile, Among these 3.3 billion dollars, Muye technology will take 300 million dollars as the cash out part of the financing.

That is to say, $3.3 billion comes in, and $3 billion goes into the book of Muye technology. The remaining $300 million is distributed by all shareholders before the share dilution in proportion. When one point is diluted to 0.9 point, it can get $3 million in cash.

And the three million dollars got it, the remaining 0.9 points are still there, calculated by 33 billion market value, 0.9 percentage points, and the market value is nearly 300 million dollars!

Sequoia didn't want to sign such an agreement.

First of all, they just barely accepted the 30 billion valuation, and suddenly increased another 3 billion, which is too fast for their hearts to bear;

Second, they don't want to let shareholders of Muye technology cash out this round. On the basis of the 30 billion valuation, they invested 10% and 3 billion dollars to Muye technology, and then all of them were used as the follow-up development funds of the enterprise If so, they can balance themselves.

Li Mu's request now is basically to ask Sequoia to give us 300 million dollars more, so that he can give you a point. The head of Sequoia has a heart to die. You reward the team and let us get 300 million dollars more. How could such a bullying happen?

However, Li Mu wants to be so domineering.

He has seen through the essence of capital for a long time. Capital is profit-making. No matter angel investment or venture capital, they are profit-making. No matter how good angel investors are, they will not invest in certain projects. They look like brilliant. They say to those entrepreneurs who are struggling to survive: "come here, I will give you money to develop 。”

In fact, their subtext is: "come on, let Dad see if you have the potential to make money, and if so, let dad buy shares at a low price."

For enterprises with promising future but not so clear, they are willing to provide capital as their father, but the father of capital may not regard it as their son; for those enterprises with infinite bright future, capital is willing to kneel down and call them father, as long as his father can let him enter a part of the shares, everything else is easy to say.

Li Mu doesn't want to play with capital. Since everyone pursues profits, I'll give you a final offer. You are willing to promise, shake hands and sign contracts, and tie them together later. If you don't promise, I won't leave you if you leave. I'll use the same offer to find other people when you leave.

Sequoia was tormented by Li Mu, and negotiations had begun since the time when herdsman technology had not been out of the door and the valuation was billions of dollars. Talking about the United States, YY became popular among the elite groups, and the valuation would become more than 10 billion. Then Li Mu stopped talking about it, and attacked continuously. Paradise town won the attention of the United States, and YY forced a wash Big wave of users, the scale of users doubled; that's not all. Li Muyi turned to Harvard, and when he came back from New York and Hollywood, Muye technology had reached 30 billion.

Sequoia has invested for so many years, never seen Li Mu such a rhythmic player. Every time, they can only stare at Li Mu's strategy and tactics, exclaiming, "how can this kind of operation exist in the world?"Li Mu is like a super E-sports expert. He just walked into the wild area for a walk. After farting, he would come out again. He is already in a super costume.

Li Mu has made all the impossibilities possible, and he is also making the $33 billion valuation of Muye technology possible.

Because Li Mu's attitude is extremely tough and leaves no room, Sequoia, after struggling for two days, finally announced that it would accept Li Mu's financing conditions and officially start the transfer before financing.

I didn't expect that it was not easy to simply once the Sequoia, and was once again accepted by Li Mu.

Li Mu replied to Sequoia directly in his own name and in the form of official letters at the company level. The core content was: "what are your ink and ours? It's all up to this time. Who has time to help you with the financing? Before signing the contract, I can first open the company's general market revenue data to you. Once the contract is signed, I will open the financial account information to you. If you have no problem, you will pay immediately. After the payment, you will officially complete the financing. I accept your regular audit. That's all. If you want to withdraw in the middle, you can withdraw before the financing or IPO. If you are not willing to withdraw, next year or later After the IPO in, make your own decisions in the stock market. "

At the end of the official letter, Li Mu asked: "think about it as soon as possible and reply as soon as possible. I don't have too much time to wait."

The Redwood can't laugh or cry.

Li Mu is really a rare hegemonic enterprise. The financing can be so aggressive. This Chinese is really unusual. The key is that Sequoia can't have temper at all. Who can make others' development speed frighten people to death? The speed of valuation update is too fast. If you can't make it right, something will happen tomorrow. 33 billion people don't agree.

In fact, Li Mu still has a magic weapon to improve the valuation of Muye technology. This magic weapon is the social network game "plant vs. zombie" which was changed from his demon. After the internal test, everyone in the game development team thought that the game was simply not too fun. It's crazy to play. If there is no boss watching, I'm afraid the whole department will be abandoned in this game.

The plant vs. zombie changed by Li Mu Mo almost becomes plant vs. zombie online, and he pays great attention to the interaction and cooperation with his friends. He may not be used to playing the normal plant vs. zombie users, but he has never played the plant vs. zombie in this era, or even played the tower defense seriously For the users of the game, the fun of the game is toxic!

If this game is taken out now, it will be popularized by YY, which has a huge number of users at present. Maybe it will be popular all over the world in a few days, but Li Mu has his difficulties at present.

First of all, two super large activities of "Paradise town" are being promoted, and there is no difference in the field of games. No one can beat them. At this time, if we launch "Plants vs. Zombies", we will directly grab the limelight of these two activities. At last, no one can beat "Paradise town". Li Mu defeated it with new products, which belongs to internal friction, not desirable;

secondly, plant vs. zombie is an online game, that is, it needs server bandwidth to support.

If it only supports hundreds of thousands of people to play, then this demand for server bandwidth is not enough for Makino technology.

But Li Mu is too clear about the magic of "plant vs. zombie". It's popular, faster than uncle bird's horse riding dance. It's possible that it's all over the world overnight. In that way, the server of "plant vs. zombie" needs to carry the huge demand of tens of millions of people playing at the same time;

besides, the game rhythm of this thing is generally better than "Paradise town" This kind of game is much faster. Paradise town is a business game. It collects corn in the field, feeds chickens in the chicken coop, and delivers tasks in NPG. Even if there is a certain amount of jam and delay in data processing, it's OK. Users can't bear it or even feel it sometimes.

suck and delay if the friends of the plant fight zombie fight, it's killing you. It's about to shoot a pea shooter. It's stuck, and the reaction is over. This way has been pushed by the zombie. That user experience is absolutely the same as a dog. Finally, if the server fails to load, it will lead to the poor Online experience and turn to play the single machine. Mode, then the biggest meaning of this game is completely abandoned.

To build "plant vs. zombie online", which supports tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of users, Li Mu really needs to build at least five to six large data processing centers around the world, otherwise the game will not be able to come out.

So now, Li Mu can't take out "plant vs. zombie online" to raise the valuation. He can only raise funds first, and then invest the funds to build the data processing center, wait for the data processing center to be built, and then launch "plant vs. zombie online".

In the Internet game industry, most of the games are influenced and limited by the region and culture when they are constructed and developed, so there are also frequent local hot and overseas weak phenomena. In addition to the heterogeneous world of Warcraft, few online games can be popular all over the world.

But it's extremely rare that the game like "Plants vs. Zombies" can sweep the five continents without any obstacles. Li Mu has great hopes for this game. In his opinion, the development space of this game is far above "Paradise town".
