The PR staff of Muye technology arranged all the VIP guests invited to this event in a five-star hotel, while the other invited guests and journalists were arranged in several other five-star hotels.
According to the fixed routine of the business circle, Li Mu held a small wine party in the hotel where the VIP stayed in his own name the day before the signing ceremony, which was regarded as a small preheating before the opening.
Li Mu's in-depth partners are all invited. In addition, there are several CEOs of Internet companies in Silicon Valley and several capital directors on Wall Street.
Before the reception, Li Ziwei jokingly said to Li Mu, "Mr. Li, today's reception is worth hundreds of billions of dollars, with a conservative estimate of more than 4 trillion yuan. If it is spread, it will shock the world."
"It's nothing." "In a few years, when we hold the Makino technology developers conference, the total value of the entrepreneurs may exceed several trillion dollars."
Li Ziwei asked him curiously, "developer conference? What do you mean? "
"In the future, we will build one or more global mobile platforms, which will be open to all developers around the world, just like windows," Li said with a smile
"I see." Li Ziwei said with a smile, "by the way, Mr. Li, many people would like to meet and talk with you in private in the evening. Would you like to see if you can arrange a meeting time window?"
Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "I can be free from 9:00 to 10:00, but what do I want to meet?"
"A lot." Li Ziwei said: "senior executives of Silicon Valley enterprises like Cisco, IBM, HP and even Microsoft want to talk to you in private. I have screened them for you. There are two people worth meeting. One is Larry Ellison, CEO and founder of Oracle, and the other is redwood Steve.Johnson 。”
Li Mu nodded softly and said: "there is no room for deep cooperation among hardware enterprises. Microsoft, as a company, can come out and talk to me. Oracle should treat us as potential big customers. If they want to cooperate with our cloud computing, Sequoia will not have to talk about our subsequent capital operations ……”
Li Ziwei said: "I think so too, so several other companies refused directly. If you are interested in these two companies, I will give them a reply later. If you are not interested, I will refuse directly."
Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "turn off the oracle. I'll see only Redwood tonight Steve.Johnson 。”
Li Ziwei hurriedly said, "I'll give a message to his secretary later. The time is set at nine o'clock sharp, and the place is set in a business suite reserved in this hotel. What do you think?"
"No problem."
For Li Mu, all the people who regard him as their client and the other as their grandson, because he is the object they want to fight for after sharpening their heads. For such people, even if they also want to cooperate with them in depth, the shelf at the beginning must be very important.
As for Sequoia, after all, it is its own partner, and there is more room for in-depth cooperation in the future. It is a good thing for both sides to talk with their principals.
The reception organized by Li Mu is very simple. It only includes the whole banquet hall of the hotel, and then strengthens the security work several times to ensure that no one will disturb and influence here. In addition, it does not deliberately dress the internal environment of the banquet hall, nor upgrade the service provided by the banquet hall. Everything is in accordance with the standard of the normal five-star hotel.
For ordinary people, the standard wine party of five-star hotel is absolutely luxurious, but for those over 100 million people, it's no different from sitting on the road and eating spicy hot.
These big guys from the United States know how to enjoy life better than the rich people in China. Li Mu has long heard that many of these big guys spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars to buy super luxury private planes and cruise ships. They usually fly around the world with Hollywood star models to attend various high-level parties. Their lives are more extravagant than those of royal families like Dubai And.
Li Mu walked into the banquet ten minutes before the reception. At this time, there were more than 20 people in the banquet hall carrying glasses and chatting in groups. Since there were no media reporters on the scene, every guest was very relaxed and natural.
Seeing Li Mu come in, one of the guests picked up the goblet with cocktails in his hand, and then gently tapped the outside of the goblet with the ring on his finger, making a pleasant tinkling sound. After attracting the attention of most people, the man laughed and said: "everyone, here comes Li."
Others looked at Li Mu, who had just entered the banquet hall, so they all held up their glasses and used various ways to make the glasses make a clear knocking sound, so as to welcome the host of the party.
Li Mu didn't expect all of them to come out suddenly. He hurriedly stopped and bowed to everyone with his hands folded. After all, these were all guests from a long distance.At this time, someone said in English, "Mr. Li, as today's host, shouldn't you say something?"
As soon as the voice fell, a lot of people agreed: "yes, Mr. Li, say something!"
Li Mu looks around and finds many familiar faces, not only his own partners in the field of entrepreneurship, but also Spielberg, Tom Hanks, Leonardo, Anne Hathaway, the main creative teams of Flying Tigers. They should have suspended the filming of the film and rushed from cloud province.
Li Mu held up his glass and gave a little sign to the four people, then said with a smile: "thank you for coming all the way to the signing ceremony tomorrow. Your support is of great significance to me and Muye technology. In addition, I hope you can have a good time tonight. Finally, welcome to Huaxia! Thank you
Everyone applauded politely. Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle, said to Li Mu with a smile, "Mr. Li, I'm Larry Ellison, the CEO of Oracle. I'm looking for an opportunity to have a good talk with you about the possibility of future cooperation when I come to China this time."
Li Mu nodded, smiled quietly, and said, "thank you, Larry. I will let my assistant contact you if I have time."
Larry Ellison raised his glass and nodded, "I'm waiting for your news."
Li Mu answered, and then he took his glass with him and took turns greeting all the people present.
Since most people don't know Li Mu, he chose to greet the strangers he met for the first time, and then to greet his acquaintances and partners.
So Li Mu started from the nearest stranger. The process was very simple. He just said hello to each other first, then asked clearly, then exchanged greetings, and finally replaced another one.
At the fourth person's time, a man in his forties shook hands with Li Mu and said, "Hello, Mr. Li. I'm Peter, vice president of Microsoft. Bill wants to come here in person, but there are many things recently, so he entrusted me to congratulate you."
Li Mu shook hands with him and said with a smile, "thank you and help me to thank Mr. Gates."
Pete nodded and smiled: "bill has always respected Mr. Li very much. He often said that in the near future, Muye technology can not only become the largest Internet company in the world, but also the largest enterprise in the world. He is very optimistic about Mr. Li's future."
"Mr. Gates really looks up to me," Li Mu said with a smile
Peter said: "bill also asked me to tell Mr. Li that if you go to the United States next time, Mr. Li will definitely meet you in Silicon Valley."
"OK." Li Mu said with a smile, "if he has time, I'm always welcome."
Greetings, Li Mu is going to find a reason to say goodbye for a while, and then go to make friends with others. At this time, Pete suddenly asks Li Mu, "by the way, President Li, the whole Silicon Valley has been discussing your twitter business unit recently. Can you tell us what the business unit is doing?"
"About Twitter, I can only say that it's our next new product with a very high strategic position, and it's also a very interesting product. As for what kind of product it is, I can't disclose it for the moment, but it's expected that Twitter will officially meet with users around the world this autumn."
Pete nodded a little disappointed and said, "well, we're looking forward to the day when the new products of Muye technology come out!"
Although he said it politely, Peter was a bit gloomy in his heart.
The reason why he came to this reception and tomorrow's signing ceremony is that Bill Gates does not want to attend it himself. On the one hand, he hopes to take the opportunity to learn about the situation of Makino technology, especially twitter, which is now being closely watched.
During this period, Microsoft has been feeling great pressure. Most of the pressure comes from Muye technology. Muye technology has killed MSN and MSN's portal website, causing the portal traffic of MSN website to plummet. If Microsoft did not set the MSN homepage as the default page in some users' IE browser, the traffic of MSN will continue to plummet.
With the decline of MSN and the website, Microsoft's social dream was completely destroyed. While Microsoft was preparing to make its own search engine, Li Mu suddenly sold an empty shell company to Google. Although Google has been hit a lot, the combination of Google and Makino technology has been a nail on the board. In this way, Microsoft's search engine dream, which has not yet started, has been awakened 。
Now, Microsoft is preparing a new project internally. This project is to integrate all of Microsoft's current life software, pages and applications, and package them into a new concept of Windows Live software package. The so-called windows live means "windows life". The core is that users only need to have this windows live to get it Everything you want on the Internet.This window live software package is a major layout of Microsoft in the next stage. However, due to the powerful aura of Makino technology, Microsoft lacks sufficient confidence in this project now. In addition to the "Twitter topic" that has been widely spread recently, Microsoft is worried. What they fear most is that their products will crash with twitte
