Before Li Mu visited the new office building of Muye technology in Silicon Valley, the big guys in Silicon Valley could not sit down.

In less than an hour, the public relations department of Makino technology's U.S. branch received more than a dozen requests from CEOs of the company, including Larry Page, the founder of Google before Lin Qingya could make an appointment.

Muye technology is now one of the world's top Internet enterprises, and has a huge number of users and powerful promotion channels. This is a long-awaited in-depth cooperation object for all Internet companies, so it is also human nature for everyone to hope to deepen cooperation with Muye technology.

Except for Larry Page, Li Mu didn't respond to others. For Li Mu, he doesn't want to find too many traffic partners, which is an unhealthy overdraft for Muye technology. For example, if an American e-commerce enterprise wants Muye technology to guide him, and Muye technology agrees, it is almost equal to making Muye technology an e-commerce company in the United States in advance The potential is overdrawn. Although the other party must pay certain promotion fees to Muye technology, for Li Mu, that money is completely irrelevant to him.

That's why Li Mu doesn't want to meet these people for the time being. He doesn't want to overdraw many possibilities in the future of Muye technology for the sake of a small profit. Now he overdrafts and fattens others and wants to bring them back in the future. The difficulty is increased exponentially. How to do this business is not cost-effective.

Lin Qingya conveyed the decision of meeting with Li Mu to Larry Page, and asked about the expected meeting time. After Larry Page received the confirmation, he was very happy to propose to Lin Qingya that he could meet with Li Mu in the afternoon. After asking Li Mu, Lin Qingya formally replied to him, and set the meeting time as three o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Mu asked Lin Qingya, "guess why Larry Page is so anxious to see me?"

Lin Qingya said with a smile, "90% of them want to drain Google search from our YY and YY websites, right? We don't do search engine, Google is very clear

Li Mu nodded and praised: "you're right. Larry Page's biggest goal must be traffic cooperation. He's afraid he's a little flustered now."

"How?" Lin Qingya looks puzzled.

Li Mu said: "YAHOO has always wanted to be its own search engine. It is only a matter of time before it abandons Google. Now YAHOO has a high market share. If they really announce abandoning Google, it will be a great loss for Google. It will not only lose a large number of users, but also a competitive product."

"Do you think Yahoo is better than Google in search engine?" Lin asked

Li Mu said: "it should be OK to start two or three years earlier. Now it's too late to catch up."

"According to you, Yahoo's influence on Google should not be too great," Lin said

Li Mu said with a smile: "the market reaction is extreme, just like the stock price. When bad news comes, it will generally oversold, and then slowly make up for it. So if Yahoo formally announces to make its own search engine, the impact on Google will be quite large in a short time. Google needs a period of time to constantly make up for it. Moreover, Google should consider IPO next year, Larry· Page must do everything possible to increase the market's recognition of Google before the IPO. "

Lin Qingya asked again, "are you going to cooperate with him?"

"It depends on the urgency of his demand. If his demand is very urgent, I think we can use resources and money to invest in part of Google," said Li Mu

Lin Qingya helplessly said: "my boss, you have to calculate the account in your mind. Although our valuation is rising, but you don't raise funds, we can't realize it. How can we invest in Google without money? What's more, you want to buy apple, and it's a wholly-owned acquisition... "

Li Mu said with a smile, "don't worry about money. First, you have to carry your car to the front of the mountain and push forward. As long as you can drive all the way to the foot of the mountain, then money will come naturally."

Lin Qingya asked with a smile, "what if the money doesn't come?"

Li Mu said: "turn around before the money comes. The car can afford to drive. Do you care about the fuel money?"

……

Larry Page arrived at two forty.

The last time I saw Li Mu, Muye technology had not completed the round of Sequoia financing. At that time, Larry Page estimated the value of Muye technology in his heart at about 20 billion dollars. A 20-year-old CEO has created a 20 billion dollar enterprise that has made Larry Page amazing. But what he didn't expect is that when the real financing was done, Li Mu started from Sequoia That's an overvalued $33 billion.

What's more, he can't believe that, goodbye to Li Mu, the valuation of Muye technology has exceeded 80 billion dollars.

The news that Sequoia hopes to reinvest in the field of science and technology with a valuation of 80 billion US dollars is not news in Silicon Valley. Everyone knows about it. This is the news released by Sequoia deliberately. Such news can improve the valuation of the field of science and technology. For Sequoia, even if it can no longer invest in the field of science and technology, at least it is also the field of science and technology As long as the shareholders can improve the valuation of Makino technology, it will be of practical benefit to them.In such a short period of time, the market value has doubled one after another. Li Mu has created a legend of a young rich man in the world. Considering the two dimensions of value and age, Li Mu is the entrepreneur with the highest comprehensive strength in the world, which makes Larry Page surprised and admired. At the same time, he also hopes to find a strong source of traffic for Google.

Li Mu met Larry Page in the office that Lin Qingya prepared for him. This office is the best one in the whole office building, with a large area of about 100 square meters. Besides the office area and reception area, there is also a bedroom and independent bathroom for rest. The office is located in the southeast corner of the third floor, so there are two floor windows with sufficient light And the vision is very good.

When meeting Li Mu, Larry Page took the initiative to shake hands with him and said to Li Mu in Chinese, "Mr. Li, we have met again. Welcome to Silicon Valley."

Li Mu said with a smile, "Mr. page is learning Chinese recently?"

"A little bit..." Larry Page, sorry to smile, said in English: "Chinese is really difficult, I think I have a long way to go."

Li Mu nodded, invited Larry Page to sit down in the reception area and said with a smile, "I heard that our new office building is not far from you?"

"Ten minutes on foot, it's really close," said Larry Page

Li Mu said, "you are welcome to come here often. If I am not here, you can find Ms. Lin Qingya, the vice president and CEO of our American branch."

Larry Page said: "I've met with Mr. Lin several times. I'll strengthen communication in the future to see if there are good opportunities for cooperation. I also hope that Mr. Li can spend more time in Silicon Valley. For Silicon Valley, you are a legendary existence. I heard that you are coming today, the whole Silicon Valley can't stand it."

"I may spend more and more time in Silicon Valley in the future. We can leave a personal contact information later. When I come to Silicon Valley or you come to China, we will contact in time."

"All right, all right." Larry Page quickly took out his business card and handed it to Li Mudao: "Mr. Li, please put my contact information in my mobile phone."

Li Mu nodded, took out his business card and handed it to him. Then he asked him, "Mr. Page, I'm in such a hurry. Shouldn't it be just reminiscence? We are two old acquaintances. If you have anything to do, please let me know. "

Larry Page rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, just call me Larry. I'm here for you because of a long-term cooperation intention."

"Oh?" Li Mu asked him, "what kind of cooperation?"

Larry Paige said: "we have noted the product structure of YY and YY networks. In China, YY and YY networks are providing Baidu search with quick access, facilitating YY users to use Baidu search, and guiding Baidu search. I personally think this is a very good cooperation mode, which can not only provide YY users with convenient search services, but also bring Baidu search with higher quality The amount of user traffic, but I also noticed that Baidu search does not plan to expand overseas at present, or even provide English search engine services, so non Chinese YY and YY users will not be able to enjoy such fast search services on YY products, which I personally feel is a pity, and it is not a convenient place for users. "

Li Mu nodded slightly and said, "Larry, actually, for me, I'm not a very selfless person, just like most of the technical architectures choose to close the source, I don't want the user outflow in YY ecology, even if it's just the outflow in some fields."

Speaking of this, Li Mu said: "you see, I don't do search engine, but search engine will encroach on my users' online time, which means that in my own reservoir, a water pipe is divided, no matter how thick or thin it is, it will only unilaterally draw water from my reservoir. If I cultivate the habit of using search engine frequently for my users, then There is no doubt that part of their online time was given to the search engine, which is a violation of my own business itself. If it wasn't for my share of Baidu, I would never open my users to them. "

Larry Page didn't expect Li Mu to say so quickly. First, he refused to give external diversion. Second, even if he did, he was a shareholder of Baidu. According to his words, he wanted to cooperate with Muye technology. The only possibility is to let Muye technology become a shareholder first?

However, it's not a bad thing to be invested by Muye technology. Every entrepreneur has two kinds of needs: one is the demand for capital, the other is the demand for resources. Those who are short of money will first choose capital, but those who are not so short of money will choose resources.

That's why many enterprises especially want to be invested by Yahoo. In addition to giving money, Yahoo investment also gives resources, which are often more important than money.

In fact, in the future of China, almost all Internet models are inseparable from Tengxun and Ali, for the same reason, access to their ecology can get their resources, which will play a great role in promoting their own development.

So, Larry Page didn't think about it for a long time, so he said directly to Li Mu, "President Li, if Muye technology is interested in becoming a shareholder of Google, we are very welcome. You can have a deep discussion on this issue, or simply set up two project teams to meet each other. What do you think?"
