Chapter 1425

The day before he left for the United States, Li Mu specially confirmed the progress of several works.

Gubeishui town has reached a cooperation agreement with huaqinglv. Yanjing municipal government guarantees the project of gubeishui town in Yanjing bank, and the capital problem of gubeishui town has been fundamentally solved. With the full support of Miyun County Party committee, all the approval documents are in full swing. Even in order to speed up the normal launch of gubeishui town project, the Yanjing Miyun section of Beijing Chengcheng Expressway under construction is required In order to speed up the construction period, it is necessary to open the project to traffic before the completion and formal operation of gubeishui town. For this reason, the municipal government and the transportation department jointly bear the cost of nearly 100 million yuan.

At the same time, the film and television base project is also being actively promoted. The aerial survey company has started to carry out aerial survey mapping on the great plain of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. When Li Mu comes back from the United States, the aerial survey map will surely be done well. Then he can take the aerial survey map and circle the land scientifically first, and then go to the local government to discuss cooperation.

The outdoor reality show variety show "yearning for life" jointly created by Muye image and Xiangnan satellite TV is about to start shooting. The shooting venue selected by Miyun has been basically transformed, and soon the program recording process can start. Li Mu promised to be a guest in this program, but it must wait until he comes back from the United States Enough cash.

As for Muye technology and taobao.com, Li Mu doesn't need to worry at all. Muye technology is like a spaceship flying at full speed in space. In this advantaged environment, it has no resistance at all. If it doesn't slow down actively, its speed will not be affected at all.

after taobao.com and SARS, it has become As an Internet plus warehouse + logistics giant, the government has recognized Taobao's efforts in SARS. It not only gave a series of public praise and reward, but also gave a lot of practical support in many aspects, such as taxation, land use, transportation, qualification approval and various policy subsidies. This series of support not only helped Taobao network to alleviate many problems. The burden also provides a stronger driving force for Taobao.

……

More than ten hours of flight, plus a midway landing to replenish fuel, Li Mu and his core members of the apple business unit finally set foot in the United States again. The last time they came to the United States was just Li Mu's debut in the United States. This time, Li Mu has become a top ten influential heavyweight.

From the moment when Li Mu's charter flight took off in China, the American media, especially the Silicon Valley media, began to report the news that Li Mu was going to the United States. Internet companies and capitalists all over the United States were wondering about Li Mu's strategic intention of going to the United States this time. Did he come to expand, find money, or prepare for an IPO?

At this moment, Li Mu almost attracted the attention of the United States.

From the beginning of the popularity of YY, to paradise Town, plant vs. zombie online, and now yytunes, Li Mu has deeply infiltrated the Internet life of Americans and brought great innovation to their internet life.

So far, yytunes has been online for more than ten days.

In just over ten days, yytunes, like an unprecedented storm, swept the whole west, especially the United States.

There has never been a music software that can bring such incredible experience to people. On yytunes, music is no longer a simple appreciation, it has become a link to music lovers around the world.

Now, yytunes is like instagram, which was born in the era of smart phones. Yytunes is based on music and instagram is based on pictures.

In more than ten days, yytunes has handed in an answer sheet that shocked the Internet industry in the United States: according to the survey and analysis results issued by the three-party survey companies, more than 90% of the users in the United States who use the Internet to listen to or download music are using yytunes.

In other words, as soon as yytunes goes online, it forms an almost absolute monopoly.

In addition, the rapid popularity of yytunes also makes the list on yytunes the most valuable vane in the whole music circle.

Now, there is no list more credible than yytunes, which gathers hundreds of millions of users, and has a more traffic pulling effect. After a song or an album is listed, it will get a lot of traffic from the list, and the traffic is greatly transformed into paid downloads of single songs and special albums, which makes all the popular singers begin to pay attention to this list , and regard it as a new goal to be on yytunes' list.

When Li Mu came to the new headquarters of Muye technology Silicon Valley Branch, Lin Qingya had been harassed by the head of a group of record companies all morning. In her words, she was really upset.

Seeing Li Mu, Lin Qingya's first thing is to complain to him. She helplessly said: "President Li, recently all the record companies in the United States have been staring at yytunes, and all the popular singers are the same. These companies come here every day to talk with us about deep cooperation and ask us to help their singers improve the list. I'm really bored."Li Mu said with a smile, "you can recruit a director who is responsible for music affairs or set up a music business department. You don't have to do it yourself."

Lin Qingya said: "the music business is just starting. In order to ensure that these copyright owners work closely with us, all the copyright owners on behalf of me are personally received. After all, you attach so much importance to yytunes, I can't take it lightly."

Lin Qingya said in a mysterious low voice: "recently, I'm talking about exclusive cooperation with these copyright owners. The number of active users of iTunes has plummeted, and there's not much profit space for them. So I'm privately promoting exclusive licensing to let these copyright owners exclusively license all the music online copyright to us. If it goes well, this month will be able to Sign the first exclusive license agreement. "

Li Mu was surprised for a moment and said with a smile, "you're going to give apple a move to cut corners."

The core service of Apple iTunes is online music audition and paid download. But the United States is not the same as that of Huaxia. Even a small individual webmaster dared to pirate the world's music on the Internet. But in the United States, even individual downloading and piracy are criminal, and no enterprise would do such a thing, so if iTunes doesn't With copyright authorization, it's basically a supermarket without goods, and the future is even worse.

Lin Qingya smiled and said, "you can only go in one pot after you have done everything, otherwise you will get burned."

Li Mu laughs, looks at her new office, and says, "this building has a good location. Would you like to show me around?"

Lin Qingya nodded with a smile and said, "let me show you around and introduce you."

Li Mu and Li Ziwei followed Lin Qingya to visit the whole office building newly rented by Muye technology Silicon Valley branch.

Lin Qingya introduced that the building has four floors above the ground and two floors below the ground, covering an area of 16000 square meters, a building area of 9000 square meters, an office area of 30000 square meters, which can accommodate up to 4000 people and provide more than 2000 parking spaces.

Renting such a large new office building is the decision of the senior management of Muye technology. With the company's internationalization process becoming faster and faster, Li Mu needs to build the U.S. branch into the largest headquarters of Muye technology outside China, and the office building that can accommodate 4000 people is just the beginning. If the IPO is completed, Muye technology's staff in the United States will probably be more than 10000.

Moreover, even in the hinterland of Silicon Valley, it is not crowded at all. The building density is low, the green area is large, and the floor height is generally not high. Almost every shoe building is a small park, with enough depth, far distance from other office buildings, and quiet internal environment.

In contrast, the dense sense of a large number of reinforced concrete buildings piled together crazily in Zhongguancun is always accompanied by a sense of noise, urgency and high pressure.

The gap between the two is like the gap between the high-end rich villa area and Tiantongyuan, the largest community in Asia, even greater.

But Li Mu knew that he could not envy this kind of thing. The land resources of the United States are much richer than that of China. The land area of the whole United States is not much different from that of China. But more than half of the United States is plain, but the plane area of China only accounts for 12%. The plain area is only a quarter of that of the United States, and the population of the United States is 300 million, less than a quarter of that of China The average plain area of the United States is 16 times that of China.

At present, all the employees of Muye technology's U.S. branch add up to about 1000 people, and the vacancy rate of this building is still relatively high, so the company directly uses the fourth floor as an employee activity center, with lounges, restaurants and gyms.

According to Lin Qingya, the nearest big company to Muye technology is Google.

Lin also said that when the branch moved, Google founder Larry Page personally came to congratulate her and sent her a box of French champagne.

Li Mu said with a smile, "how many flower baskets did Larry Page send?"

Lin Qingya smiled and said, "Americans don't have this custom. They like to send small gifts to the person in charge to congratulate them."

Li Mu nodded and mentioned Larry Page. He remembered that he had dinner with him last time he came to the United States. At that time, he helped Sequoia persuade him to accept the investment of Sequoia.

As for Google, it's not listed yet, but judging from their last round of financing and the current valuation given by the capital market, it's more than one order of magnitude inferior to Muye technology.

Thinking of Google and his determination to buy apple, Li Mu can't help but think of a great God, Andy Rubin, the founder of Android.

If you remember correctly, Andy Rubin founded Android in the second half of this year. Two years later, Android was acquired by Larry Page's Google. It is said that Andy Rubin and Larry Page had personal contacts before Android was founded, so Li Mu believes that they know each other now.

Apple is determined to get it. Do you want to get Andy Rubin, the founder of Android, into its own camp in advance? In that case, can I basically monopolize the smartphone operating system market in the future?After all, in the future smart phone market, Symbian is like a mentally retarded person with an IQ of no more than five years old, and it will fall behind in the competition of adults; BlackBerry's own bottleneck is that it can't resist the fatal barrier in the past; as for the strong Microsoft's performance in the field of smart phones, hehe, if IOS and Android are in its own pocket, then the smart phone market There is really no one who can fight

At the thought of this, Li Mu couldn't help but excitedly said to Lin Qingya, "please contact page for me. I'll meet him at Google during a working time."
