Chapter 1427

Before Larry Page came to find Li Mu, he had the intention to invite Li Mu to share in Google. Whether Li Mu was an individual shareholder or Muye technology was a good thing for Google's core management and back capital.

Superficial cooperation comes and goes quickly, just as in the history of the East and the west, they all like to use marriage to enhance political stability. The cooperation between enterprises needs a strong bond to be connected. The bond is not strong enough based on business and human feelings. Business will change, human feelings will change, but capital will not change.

Before Google and Yahoo had a close cooperation and mutual benefit, which is a good example of a good partner. Without Yahoo's early use of traffic crazy milk Google, Google could not have achieved such a rapid development speed. Last year, Yahoo wanted to buy Google, but Google was not secure. It increased the price to 6 billion dollars all the way, and finally Yahoo gave up this thousand years of difficulty A good chance.

Now, Yahoo has targeted its own search engine. Although Yahoo hasn't announced it to the public, according to Google's understanding, Yahoo has started the development of search engine now. Once it is ready, it will go its separate ways with Google.

For Larry Page, even if Li Mu promised to provide Google with search traffic today, this kind of cooperation is rootless and cannot bring Google a real sense of security. The best solution is to let Li Mu become a shareholder and then sign a cooperation agreement.

Li Mu also saw Larry Page's urgent demand for traffic. Yahoo is about to make a fuss and wants to go public next year. At this time, if you can get stable search traffic from your own hands, it will be very helpful to Google's capital operation. It is likely that Google's IPO will directly raise several hundred million yuan next year, or even increase the stock price by several percent Point.

So when Li Mu talked about being a shareholder of Baidu, he thought a little bit about Larry Page. If you want traffic, let me join Google first.

Larry Page did, and even offered to invite Li Mu to join the company.

So Li Mu asked Larry Page, "Larry, does Google's board of directors have any preliminary intention? If I bring traffic, how much share will Google dilute to me?"

Li Mu can't see one point or two points. Even if Google's market value is hundreds of billions of dollars in the future, Li Mu can't see one point or two points. If we want to come, at least 5 to 10 points will start.

Larry Page is not ambiguous. Both he and the board of directors of Google are thinking about going public quickly and smoothly. No one dares to expect that they can expand to the market value of hundreds of billions of dollars in the future. So now in order to hold Li Mu's thigh, they also understand that they are reluctant to give up their children.

Then, Larry Page seriously said to Li Mu, "Mr. Li, if you can promise to open a search portal for Google on YY and YY and keep it unchanged for five years, we are willing to dilute five points, which we will give you at a valuation of 6 billion dollars."

After all, Larry Page added, "Google's current valuation is around $10 billion."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Larry, open a search portal for Google and keep it unchanged for five years. Would you agree to change this to you?"

Larry Page looked at Li Mu's eyes and dodged. After a while, he pretended to be confident and said, "I will promise, because it's an extra benefit for me."

Li Mu shook his head. After a while, he stared into Larry Page's eyes and said seriously: "Larry, if you open a search portal for Google in my most important product and keep it for five years, what you get from me is not only five years of traffic protection, but also five years of security protection! If I promise you, Makino technology will not be able to get involved in search engines in the next five years. After all, your entry is on my most important product. I will do search again at this time. Isn't that my job? "

Larry Page didn't know how to answer for a while. Li Mu was right. If he agreed to this condition, the most valuable thing was not that he provided traffic to Google for five years in a row, but that he was unable to engage in search engine for five years. If he was in war, it would be equivalent to five years of inviolable treaties, which was invaluable.

After thinking for a moment, Larry Page said seriously with a face: "Mr. Li, if you have any objection to this time, we can discuss it again. It's not impossible to shorten it properly. If it's four and a half years, you..."

Before Li Mu finished, he reached out to interrupt him and said very seriously, "Larry, my objection is not about the length of the time, but about how much you are willing to pay for the extra time window. To be clear, your appeal, in my cognition, you must pay me the protection fee!"

It seems very street culture to use protection fee, but it's very appropriate. Google naturally knows that it's impossible for Li Mu to sign a competition agreement, which clearly states that Muye technology doesn't do search engine, so they want to use this kind of constraint to make Li Mu want to do it, or it's hard to do it, but Li Mu is not vegetarian. Google sells several shares at a low price, For Li Mu, the attraction is not big enough. It's not that the richer he is, the bigger his appetite is. It's too small for him to see at all.Larry Page hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Li, if that's the case, we can appropriately lower the valuation as compensation. What do you think?"

Li Mu shook his head slightly and said: "Larry, Muye technology is the largest Internet company in the world, and no one is as active as our users, nor as loyal as our users. Theoretically, Muye technology is much easier to make any Internet products and models than other enterprises, so look at the two simple models we make The game, however, can bring huge profits beyond all online games in the world; we make online music, and in a few days we beat Apple iTunes. "

When Li Mu said this, he deliberately paused and said to Larry Page, "if one day Makino technology decides to make a search engine, how long do you think it will take us to catch up with Google? Just as we beat apple in music. "

Larry Page felt that Li Mu was embarrassed by this problem, but he said with three points: "Mr. Li, search engine is actually a product mode with strong technical requirements, which requires not only a strong technical basis, but also a set of very accurate logical algorithms, and then based on the algorithms, to cater to users and advertisers. This set of things, almost So it's the highest technology threshold in the Internet industry. "

Li Mu asked him with a smile, "do you think we don't have the technical strength to do search engine?"

Larry Page quickly explained: "I just think if Makino technology invests a lot of technology costs into the search engine, it will have a great impact on its business development. According to an old Chinese saying, it's not worth picking up sesame and losing watermelon."

Li Mu said: "you're wrong Larry, if I'm a search engine, I don't need to invest a lot of technology cost to redevelop. I just need to take Baidu's technology. Although I'm not a major shareholder of Baidu, I can tell you that if I want Baidu's full technology, I will definitely get it, and I can take it in minutes."

Larry Page looked surprised, but he didn't believe it.

Baidu is also a technology-based company. For technology-based companies, technology is the most important asset and dependence, which is impossible to be authorized to others. What Li Mu said is just a mirage. Unless he buys Baidu wholly, such things will not happen.

Li Mu sees that Larry Page doesn't believe in himself. He laughs and looks at Larry Page and says, "Larry, believe it or not, I want to tell you that as long as I promise Robin now that he will open the whole set of technology to me, I promise that he will not touch the Chinese search engine market, and continue to guide him in China, Robin will book the earliest ticket Flying over from America to sign with me, do you believe it? "

WTF……

Larry Page's face was startled.

And in his heart, he has fully believed what Li Mu said. If Li Mu really reached such a carve up agreement with Baidu, Baidu will definitely agree, because for Baidu, they are not able to compete in the overseas market at all.

At this time, Li Mu sighed: "Robin, as a man, has a great advantage that he can see the reality clearly. He knows that Baidu is not able to open up foreign markets at all, and will not be able to compete with Google in the overseas market. Not only that, even in the domestic market, Baidu has to worry about Google's invasion, but also about giant such as Muye technology one day Grab his job, if I promise not to compete with him in the Chinese market, he will be satisfied with his efforts to open up the domestic market, and will never covet the overseas market, so that I can closely cooperate with him. He uses Baidu technology to make the Chinese market, and I use Baidu technology to make the market outside of China, so that everyone does not interfere, conflict with each other, and even can We will improve each other. "

Speaking of this, Li Mu's expression suddenly became cruel. Looking at Larry Page, he was ready to give him a high-level threat. He said with a smile, "Larry, you may think Baidu's search engine technology is worse than Google's, but you also need to know that for most users, the product with the highest comprehensive score of convenience and practicability is the most popular."

"Don't think that McDonald's doesn't sell pizza because he can't make good pizza, let alone McDonald's can't sell the best pizza store even if he sells pizza. In fact, the real situation is that as long as McDonald's Pizza doesn't taste bad, he can quickly steal a large market from the pizza store."

"if he happens to be able to sell pizza from another professional If you learn the whole technology of making delicious pizza in a pizza shop, you will have more market space! "

"In this competition, Makino technology is McDonald's, search engine is pizza. As for Google, it's the best pizza shop in terms of production technology, but the second place is not far from you!"
