Chapter 1460

Google.

When Larry Page told all the members of the board of directors about Li Mu's latest asking price, the meeting room was full of swearing.

In front of this group of American capitalists, Li Mu became a vicious capitalist who bullied the market, bullied and lured, temporarily decided to start from the ground.

Larry Page knows these people's feelings very well. It's really an unacceptable thing to ask them to dilute their 15% shares. What's more, after dilution, Li Mu will become a new shareholder of Google, a new shareholder with 15% shares and tens of billions of dollars. The actual weight of such shareholders is very large, and even can have a long-term and far-reaching impact on the whole Google in the future.

Although these people can see the benefits of Li Mu's shares in Google, they can't make an accurate measurement and judgment. The direct loss of 15% of Li Mu's shares due to low price is greater than the net profit after Li Mu's shares? Larry Page insists the latter is bigger, but some shareholders do not.

They think that Li Mu can get benefits, but the benefits should have a degree. Even if he built a highway, the toll can't account for 15% of the whole car. It's not cooperation, it's looting.

Later, 78% of the first vote was against, and the new offer was not approved by the board of directors;

Larry Page explained to the present board members: "although the way of starting price of Makino technology is hateful, we must be aware of the potential threat of Makino technology. If Makino technology enters the search engine, our future will be greatly affected ！”

One shareholder said: "Muye technology is about to complete the privatization of apple, and Li Mu will invest a lot of experience in enterprise integration. In this case, I don't think Li Mu has experienced the development of search engine. We are experts in the field of search engine. We are very clear about how strong a good search engine needs technical support and development When Li Mu launched his first search product, I believe we have successfully launched it. "

This view has been approved by many people, some people echoed: "I admit that Muye technology is very powerful, but it is not omnipotent. Even if it is omnipotent, its energy and physical strength are limited. It will take at least one or two years for Muye technology to form a positive competitiveness with Google on the search engine."

Larry Page shook his head and said: "if Li Mu wants to be a search engine, he will never develop a new one from scratch. Last time, he said that he can let Robin of Baidu open all Baidu's technologies and patents to him at any time. Then he and Baidu are divided into two parts. Baidu is the native of China, and Muye technology is the overseas market. In this way, Li Mu can be straight overnight Then we have a self owned search engine in Baidu search kernel, which can be embedded into all products the next day for quick lead. We need to know that Baidu's technical strength is not too different from ours. "

"Hahaha!" One shareholder laughed and said, "Larry, are you too easy to be cheated? Baidu will open its technology patents to Makino technology? Why is Li Mu so confident? This is the core wealth of an Internet enterprise. How could it be so easy to give it to others? As for that dichotomy, it's even more ridiculous. Is Baidu willing to be a local search engine in China all its life? As long as we cooperate with Muye technology, we will directly lock ourselves in the Chinese market. Would you agree to do so? "

"You've ignored Li Mu's influence in the Chinese Internet industry, and he's a shareholder in Baidu," explains Larry Page

"I'm a shareholder of Google, but I also invested in many Silicon Valley companies. Does that mean that one day I will ask Google for Google's patents and technologies?"

Larry Page retorted: "as I just said, you have ignored Li Mu's influence in the Chinese Internet industry."

Then the shareholder asked: "let's put aside the influence of Li Mu and talk about the possibility. As far as I know, google is also an enterprise invested by Silicon Valley capital. The purpose of capital is to develop and expand. Baidu's shareholders certainly expect Baidu to go out of the gate of Chinese market and bring overseas market to seek breakthrough. Under this premise, how can they Would you like to limit your activities to China? Don't they want to go overseas? "

"I think the character of Baidu Robin should be more stable as Li Mu said," said Larry Page

At this time, a board member frowned and said, "Larry, do you know Robin?"

"Strictly speaking, I don't know," said Larry Page

The director said: "if you don't know him, how can you determine what kind of character he is? Is it because Li Mu said that he is more stable, so you believe it? "

Larry Page was speechless all of a sudden. He really didn't know Robin very well. He believed what Li Mu said, mostly because of his intuition and judgment. However, such words were obviously not persuasive. It was better to hold them in his stomach than to say them.

The director saw that Larry Page had nothing to say, and then he hurriedly said: "Larry, in my opinion, you are totally frightened by Li Mu, and Li Mu's gun is not only bullet free, it may even be just a simulation gun, just like those who dropped out of high school used to rob Bentley shop, a simulation gun, a head cover, pointing the gun at your head, Threaten you that if you don't take the money out, he will blow your head off! In fact, Li Mu only used a set of words to intimidate you, which scares you to the core. When you come back, you will embellish Li Mu's threats and then help him intimidate us. "Speaking of this, the director hurriedly added: "of course, I'm not saying that you have the intention to harm Google's interests, but that your personal judgment is somewhat influenced by Li Mu."

Larry Page said sullenly, "Jessie, it's really irresponsible for you to say that. All I do is to make Google develop better. Otherwise, I don't have to wait for a cooperation opportunity repeatedly in front of Li Mu. What I want to make clear today is that you should not be judged by the other Party's offer When preparing to give Li Mu five points, each of you thought that idea was very good, and all of you agreed with it. At the same time, all of you agreed with Li Mu's strength, and thought that Li Mu's share in Google would bring great improvement to Google. But now, when Li Mu asked for 15% of the time, you not only refused, but also began to look down on Li Mu's actual ability subconsciously. This is before and after Contradictory! "

One shareholder said: "we were influenced by you before, so we influenced our subjective judgment. In fact, now think about what Li Mu can do for us in a short time. We just need to seize the opportunity to rush again. Li Mu can't catch up with us in the next two or three years. Why not?"

Larry Page felt despair. He shook his head and said: "it's normal that you just don't want to sacrifice your interests. But you still want to be positive. Think about it carefully. You start to think that other people's things must be a pile of useless garbage because of the improvement of their quotations It's standard self deception. "

"Vote again." The director of the board of directors said: "if we continue to argue, there will be no result. We will vote again. If you still refuse to stand for the majority this time, then we will refuse. If you think the contract brought back by Larry is acceptable, then we will sign a contract and vote for the three game two win system."

Larry Page rubbed his temples and voted. He wasn't sure.

But in this case, voting is the best solution.

A few minutes later, the vote came out: 73% were against it.

Larry Page didn't expect to say so much. The number of opponents was only reduced from 78% to 73%, which had no impact on the results.

In view of the very consistent results obtained in the first two times, the board of directors immediately announced that Li Mu's request for 15% shares in Google was rejected.

Larry Page shook his head helplessly and warned: "you guys, Li Mu has given us 24 hours, which means we have at least one afternoon and one night to revise our decision. I still hope that you can accept Li Mu's offer. Although it seems that we have lost a lot, in fact..."

Before Larry Page finished speaking, the director just said: "Larry, please don't be alarmist here any more. We have given the final result about Muye technology. The final result is:" no! "

……

The 24-hour appointment with Larry Page is about to pass, and Li Mu still hasn't received any information about him. Li Mu has probably understood Google's decision in his mind.

Just 10 minutes to 24 hours away, Larry Page called Li Mu. As soon as the phone was connected, he said: "Mr. Li. I'm very sorry. After one day and one night's negotiation, the board of directors of our company is unable to accept your 15% offer. I think this cooperation can only be terminated in advance. "

Li Mu nodded softly and said, "it doesn't matter, Larry. There is an old saying in China that business can't be benevolent and righteous. Although we didn't cooperate this time, we are still happy to be friends with you."

Larry Page laughed bitterly. When did you make me a friend? I'm almost nervous by you now, but he said: "President Li, I hope we can have cooperation in the future."

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile, "yes, I hope as soon as possible!"

"I hope so," said Larry Page

Li Mu said with a smile, "it's not a wish, it's a certainty!"
