Chapter 1496

The next morning, the signing ceremony between Muye & Baidu and Google was about to begin. The global media gathered at the National Exhibition and competed to report the business acquisition worth at least 3 billion US dollars.

Just yesterday, several authoritative survey and evaluation institutions on Wall Street re calculated Google's valuation, giving a reference valuation of 9-12 billion US dollars, from which Google announced that it would acquire Muye & amp; Baidu.Inc , and has been confirmed by Makino technology, even if Makino technology has not actually imported any resources to Google, Google's valuation still staged a Jedi rebound.

Several institutions believe that Google's next valuation has a great potential to explode, but this may not depend on Google itself, but on Makino technology.

If, after today's merger and acquisition, Muye technology really gives full support to Google's development, then Google will usher in an outbreak period. If after the merger and acquisition, Muye technology is relatively perfunctory to Google, then the valuation will not be so considerable. However, whether Muye technology fully supports Google or not, at least one thing can be determined. After the merger and acquisition, Muye technology will Technology will not touch any search engine business within five years, that is to say, no matter how bad, Google will be in the golden development period without natural enemies in the next five years.

In the Internet industry, billions of dollars of bulk capital operations are rare. What's more, it's a successful case of Li Mu's White Wolf arbitrage, so it has a high degree of attention in the world.

In addition to the presence of a large number of media reporters, a large number of elites from the industry have also come to support the show, so the whole national exhibition is full of people, much more lively than the ordinary large-scale exhibitions.

Li Mu is now in the backstage lounge prepared by the main organizer of the national exhibition. Although the signing ceremony today is very big, the process is very simple. In addition to a well-known host who came to help from CCTV friendship to help with the opening ceremony and the middle string, the whole signing ceremony consists of three parts. First of all, Li Mu, Robin and Larry Page take turns to do a short one Speech; secondly, a tripartite signing ceremony was held on the spot; finally, a question was answered by the reporters on the spot.

After finally checking the process with the host, Li Mu sat alone in his lounge for a rest. With more than ten minutes to go, Li Ziwei knocked on the door and said to Li Mu, "President Li, President Lin sent an email from the United States. You let her investigate and understand the situation. She has preliminary investigation results."

"Oh?" Li Mu comes to the spirit, sits upright and asks: "how to say?"

Li Ziwei took out a palm sized notepad in her hand, opened the page with the mini ball pen in it, and said: "there are three relatively reliable news. The first one is that Microsoft does have a relatively large action in the near future, and the internal job transfer is relatively large. According to her experience, the internal staff job transfer is large, which should represent the internal large-scale reorganization According to her analysis, a new business unit or project team has been set up, but Microsoft has a high level of internal confidentiality, and they are in Seattle, so the confidentiality work is easier to carry out. "

Li Mu nodded and said, "if the internal transfer is relatively large, there must be internal business restructuring. It seems that they have a new development direction."

Li Ziwei added: "second, Microsoft has been working very hard on content operation recently. They have poached some editors from many well-known media in the United States, paid them several times of their salaries, and taken them to Seattle. However, there is no definite information about which project they are going to use."

Li Mu zazui said: "Microsoft has recruited so many content talents. This is to work on the content side. Now, the use of content talents is nothing more than portal sites and vertical products in content. But now, there are very few vertical products in content, and nothing more than blogs..."

At first, the vigorous development of the Internet is all around social networking, games and information. These three categories of content related products are information products. To put it bluntly, they are all kinds of portals. Apart from portals, content products are very scarce at this stage. Unlike later generations, encyclopedia products, question and answer products, interest social networking products and knowledge social networking products are many Niumao, the only mature content-based product at this stage, is actually blog, others, even online novels are still in the exploratory stage.

Thinking of this, Li Mu said to himself, "it seems that Microsoft has dug up such a talent of multimedia content, either to build a new portal or to build a blog. There is no third possibility."

After that, Li Mu asked Li Ziwei, "isn't there three points? What's the third? "

"The third point is that Microsoft does have several small and medium-sized investment acquisitions in the periphery recently, and all of them are game development teams," Li Ziwei said in a hurry

"Game development?" Li Mu could not help frowning and said, "is it for Xbox platform?"

Li Ziwei said: "no, Mr. Lin said that these game development teams are all PC based windows platform game development, and there is a company that does online chess and card games."

"Online chess and card..." Li Mu narrowed his eyes and nodded softly.

If Microsoft is to buy Xbox ecosystem and invest in the game team, Li Mu is not surprised. After all, he has to support a pure game platform and fight with Sony's PS. there are few exclusive game teams in his hands that can't play, but Microsoft's acquisition of PC game team is a bit out of place. Online chess and cards are even more out of line, obviously in tune with Microsoft Sex is different.Online chess and card game platform relies on social contacts and social routes. If Microsoft's MSN is still there, it won't be surprised if it plays online chess and card games. But the key is that MSN has knelt down and Microsoft has lost the soil to develop social games. At this time, it will suddenly play social games again, which is equivalent to building in the air. Microsoft shouldn't be so stupid Stupid things, unless they are ready to do the soil again.

Li Mu has analyzed several clues that can be sorted out at present. First, we can confirm that there are big moves within Microsoft, a large number of content workers have been found, and we are ready to play social games;

Second, we need to confirm that Microsoft may want to be a portal, a blog, or a social network.

Li Mu thought for a moment, clapped his thigh and said, "Microsoft is going to make a comeback!"

Li Ziwei asked in a hurry, "Mr. Li, do you mean Microsoft needs to socialize again?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "I don't think he just wants to socialize, he wants to do the whole set! At least what Muye technology is doing now, he wants to do! And it's done quietly, trying to surprise me! "

Li Ziwei stares at Li Mu in a daze. I don't know why Li Mu has come to such a serious conclusion. On paper, at least, the news sent by Lin Qingya is not enough to support Li Mu's judgment. After all, if any company wants to compete with all aspects of Muye technology, it will have to pay a huge price and cost, and bear a huge loss It's not so easy to make such a decision.

After a moment's hesitation, Li Ziwei asked tentatively, "Mr. Li, is it really so serious?"

Li Mu nodded without hesitation and said, "I think the possibility is at least seven or eight to ten."

Li Ziwei said in a hurry, "would you like to call Mr. Lin and ask her to investigate more deeply?"

Li Mu held his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "investigation must be investigated, but we need to change the starting point."

After all, Li Mu asked Li Ziwei, "do you know what dimensions Americans use to judge the progress of North Korea's nuclear weapons?"

Li Ziwei shook her head gently and asked tentatively, "is spy satellite used for shooting?"

"This is the most direct way, just as we try our best to investigate the internal situation of Microsoft intuitively, but if other people deliberately hide the intuitive clues, it is difficult for us to find out the real situation of each other," Li Mu said with a smile

Speaking of this, Li Mu added: "on the contrary, there are many non intuitive clues that can't be hidden in any way, such as monitoring the uranium mining in North Korea. If the uranium mining increases, it can prove that they are engaged in nuclear related work, but it may be used for nuclear power stations, not necessarily for users to develop nuclear weapons, so how to confirm that they are engaged in nuclear weapons As for the development of the device, it is necessary to control the change of their power generation at the same time. If the power consumption of civil and industrial use does not increase significantly, but their power generation has increased a lot, which proves that they may have invested thousands of centrifuges in the preparation of highly enriched uranium, because the nuclear power plant only needs about 3% of the concentration of uranium-235, but the concentration of nuclear weapons needs more than 93%, uranium mining, and And power generation, which is a non intuitive clue that they can hardly hide. "

Li Ziwei pondered for a moment, nodded and asked earnestly, "what do you think is Microsoft's non intuitive clue?"

Li Mu said, "I said, remember."

"OK." Li Ziwei immediately took out a pen and notepad.

"First, let Lin Qingya find a way to check Microsoft's personnel records. They have done MSN related businesses for so many years. In the early stage, all employees related to MSN should have relatively transparent information. It's easy to find out who has been doing MSN business at Microsoft all the time. After finding out these people, look at these people leaving after Microsoft shut down MSN business How many of them are left behind? In addition, how many of those who left will return to Microsoft in the near future. If Microsoft wants to do social business, it will not go far and near. They will pack up the old team of MSN and the old products for secondary development, which is more labor-saving, experienced and efficient. These people are like Microsoft's uranium mine. Microsoft must Will not give up mining, or even is mining at a high speed; "

" second, let Lin Qingya find out if Microsoft has any big action in data processing in the near future. If he wants to do social ecology, it is impossible to make a weaker product than us. I doubt that they will revive MSN, but as I just said, the revived MSN must be reborn and reborn Therefore, the revived MSN will surely have the file online and offline transmission functions, voice and video call functions that our YY has. To support these functions, we need a strong data processing ability. To put it more simply, Microsoft wants to make a product like YY, either to build a large number of computer rooms by itself or to rent a large number of computer rooms for the computer room, bandwidth and data The need for processing power is just like the need to consume a lot of electric energy to prepare HEU. No matter how they hide it, they can't hide it. As long as these two points are confirmed, Microsoft's infamous ambition will be clearly revealed! "
