Chapter 1493

Larry Page has been in a better mood in recent days.

For him, the worst day was the first day to fly from America to China. He was not only extremely tired, but also frightened by Li Mu's threats.

However, since Google compromised as a whole, accepted Li Mu's request and decided to acquire Muye & Baidu, and agreed with Li Mu Da, Larry Page's mood has been climbing like Yanjing's temperature.

Google is becoming more and more popular in the capital market, which is the key to Larry Page's rising mood. What makes him more excited is Li Mu's emphasis on this cooperation.

Li Mu invited so many elites in the field of Internet and capital to make the cooperation between Google and Muye technology a global hot spot. This positive attitude made the capital market realize that Li Mu really wanted to cooperate with Google with all his strength and in-depth. He endorsed Google, which is a great support for Google's valuation.

At this time, Larry Page is talking with several Silicon Valley friends in red. Li Mu and Mark Zuckerberg come to him. Several Silicon Valley elites see Li Mu coming and say hello to Li Mu in a hurry. Larry Page turns his head to see Li Mu, and immediately turns around and says with a smile, "how are you, Mr. Li?"

Li Mu nodded one by one and then said to several people, "I'm here to introduce you to a friend, Mark Zuckerberg, who is now studying at Harvard University."

Mark Zuckerberg quickly waved to a few people and said shyly, "Hi, Hello, my name is Mark Zuckerberg, you can call me mark."

"Hi mark." Larry Page shook hands with him warmly and introduced himself.

But some people don't understand. Li Mu is the most expensive entrepreneur in the field today. Even Larry Page, who is worth billions of dollars, is obviously not a rank in front of him. But Mark Zuckerberg, who looks like a young man in his early twenties, why is he so valued by Li Mu, or even Introduced by Li Mu?

Li Mu saw the surprise in the eyes of several people, smiled and said to them, "Mark Zuckerberg is my partner. He has an entrepreneurial project, and I invested in the angel round."

When I heard that Mark Zuckerberg actually took Li Mu's investment, everyone immediately looked up to him. A college student's venture project, which is hard to move even a small venture capital fund, was directly invested by the top tycoons in the Internet industry. What's so remarkable about this guy?

Larry Page was shocked and asked curiously, "mark, what's the name of the project you're working on? Can you introduce it to us? "

"Hello, Mr. Page, the project I'm working on is called Facebook, a social product based on the web," Mark Zuckerberg said

"Oh! It's Facebook! " Larry Page said: "I used Facebook and had a good experience. A college classmate told me that I used it to find a girl I had been secretly in love with when I was in college."

Others also nodded. As Silicon Valley elites, they pay close attention to every product that was born on the Internet. Although Facebook was founded in Harvard, thousands of kilometers away from Silicon Valley, it took more than six million dollars of angel round investment from Li Mu. With the help of funds, Facebook has become famous among college students, Silicon Valley has naturally paid attention to this product.

However, several people present, including Larry Page, have never thought that Facebook is a potential project, because in their opinion, this is a page product for college students to make friends with. The user audience is narrow. Moreover, with the rise of YY, the Internet industry in the world pays more attention to client products, and the recognition of client products is much greater They've done web products, so they haven't paid much attention to Facebook.

"Facebook may become a part of the YY ecosystem in the future, so we need Google to guide it in the search engine portal in the future. After you return to Silicon Valley, you can help arrange it," Li Mu told Larry Page

When Larry Page heard that Li Mu wanted to integrate Facebook into YY ecology in the future, he understood why Li Mu wanted to invest in this project. Many large enterprises would like to sow seeds to arrange small-scale entrepreneurship projects in a large area outside. If they grow well, they would take back the group's internal key cultivation. If they don't grow well, they would be allowed to grow outside Out.

The main reason why we don't put the project in the system at the beginning is that we don't have enough energy. For enterprises like Tengxun, there are at least three figures of projects with capital investment outside. If we put all the projects in the system, Tengxun's energy and resources will not be taken care of. For example, if the project of three figures of milk at a draught, the cows with the highest milk production will be dragged down In this way, it's better to do a preliminary screening first, give money to each project, and then let it fight and kill by itself. When it comes out, it's important to focus on training. If it doesn't come out, it doesn't matter if it dies.In other words, this kind of investment is similar to the legend of Tibetan mastiff. First, let the God help to do a round of preliminary screening.

But. What Larry Page didn't expect was that Li Mu didn't tell him the truth.

Facebook is very important in Li Mu's future territory, but he is not ready to absorb Facebook into Makino technology, which comes from his long-standing view: no matter how big a cake is, it can't burn its pot.

So, he hopes that Facebook can thrive outside the ecosystem of Makino technology without being framed by Makino technology. In this way, he will have the opportunity to get a super product of the same magnitude as YY in the future.

Larry Page asked Li Mu, "Mr. Li, what are the ways to guide Facebook?"

"First, let the technical team manually intervene in the keywords of all university names around the world. I hope that when users Google the names of any university around the world, Facebook's search results will rank in the top three," said Li Mu

Larry Page nodded, readily agreed, and said, "no problem. I'll write an email to arrange it when I get back tonight."

Li Mu was very satisfied with Larry Page's attitude and efficiency. He said: "Facebook will become a highly vertical project of Muye technology in college students in the future, so in the early stage, we need the accurate traffic of college students. No one can do better than search engine in the accurate traffic differentiation, so please."

Larry Page said in a hurry: "Li is always welcome. Muye technology is about to become a shareholder of Google. Not only Muye technology, but also all the enterprises you invest in will become strategic partners of Google. It's also what we should do to contribute to the strategic partners."

One of the Silicon Valley elites said to Mark Zuckerberg, "Hey mark, which city is your company in?"

Mark Zuckerberg quickly replied, "the company is in Cambridge, and our office is next to Harvard."

"You should move your company to Silicon Valley, which is the core of the Internet. People in Silicon Valley are surrounded by resources. The east coast is too far away and lacks enough soil," the man said with a smile

Mark Zuckerberg nodded and said: "the east coast is really lack of relevant soil, but I am still in school and can't move the company to the west coast for the time being."

Larry Page asked him, "mark, are you not going to suspend or drop out?"

Mark Zuckerberg scratched his head and said, "I'm still hesitating. Let's see the next step of the company's development. If it develops rapidly, I'll leave school first."

Larry Page seriously said: "to be honest, it's not difficult for a company to achieve small-scale success if it's a part-time business, but it's very difficult to achieve large-scale success. The same is true for athletes. American college students often have good basketball, baseball and olivine players, but if they don't turn into professional players and play in professional leagues, they will You can never break through to a higher level. Now you are a relatively outstanding college basketball player in the college group, but Silicon Valley is the NBA. If you want to be the next Jordan, you need to join the NBA as soon as possible. You can go back to make up for your studies in the future. But if the golden period as an athlete is wasted, it's a pity 。”

Mark Zuckerberg has always been a little dignified with a shy smile. He did think about whether to quit school first and try his best to build Facebook, but later he was still in suspense because of hesitation. Larry Page's words, for him, were like a shot at the top, which made him understand that if he wants to make Facebook better and bigger, he must temporarily We should abandon our studies and devote all our energy to entrepreneurship.

Li Mu didn't say anything, but for him, he also hoped that Mark Zuckerberg could get rid of the shackles of the school as soon as possible and concentrate on entrepreneurship. As Larry Page said, the golden age of athletes is very important, and the golden age of entrepreneurship is also precious. However, the golden age of athletes is young, and the golden age of entrepreneurship is opportunity.

The decade of 2000-2010 is really a perfect era for the growth and development of Internet giants in the world. Later, those who can earn tens of billions of dollars by relying on the Internet alone, without exception, are all rich in this period of time. Those who enter the Internet after 2010, even if they grow up to be giants, are inferior to the giants in this period.

Take the Internet industry in China as an example. President Ma, boss Ma and Robin all started their business in this perfect era, as well as senior brother Liu of Jingdong, Ding Lei of Netease and Zhang Chaoyang of Sohu.

In his last life, when he founded Xiaomi in 2010, he finally seized the last chance to become a giant and earned 10 billion US dollars for himself. Otherwise, he would be a billionaire if he only supported Jinshan's business;

Wang Xing of meituan is the same. Before meituan, he had a rough start-up journey , but also on the tail of 2010, founded meituan, and survived the hundred regiment war in that year, becoming a real giant.For Mark Zuckerberg, the early stage of his Facebook work is web social networking, and the golden period he can grasp is shorter. If Facebook can't get up before the era of mobile Internet, then it can't really get up. Just count with your fingers. His current window period is no more than five years.

If you insist on finishing college, the window period may be over. When the era of mobile Internet comes, and you want to make a niux web product, it's just a dream!

Mark Zuckerberg's heart is tangled. Subconsciously, he turns to look at Li Mu, hoping that Li Mu can give him some advice. But in the moment when he looks at Li Mu, he suddenly realizes!

Isn't Li Mu the most typical example? He did not hesitate to terminate his studies in the stage of entrepreneurship, and then miraculously created a hundred billion dollar Internet empire. With him as an example, do you really need to ask him this question?
