In fact, in Taobao's future planning, Li Mu really pays more attention to Lei Jun.

The reason why senior brother Liu was brought in at the beginning was not that Li Mu thought he could do Taobao well, but that he was able to do his own logistics well.

Senior brother Liu has the ability to manage tens of thousands of people's Congress plates, especially the huge system of logistics, which is composed of a large number of employees. His management can be said to be top-level.

However, in terms of the development of online business, Mr. Liu's ability is not very outstanding.

There has been a serious bottleneck in the development of JD in the last life, which is related to the external competition, as well as the personality and working methods of senior brother Liu.

Lei Jun is different from him. Lei Jun is better at marketing. The most important thing in e-commerce is marketing, followed by logistics or other links.

Therefore, in the future, the overall direction and operation of taobao.com, Li Mu would like to give Lei Jun the responsibility.

As for senior brother Liu, the best arrangement is to let him focus all his energy on logistics and become CEO of Taobao logistics. As for the higher position, in Li Mu's eyes, he is not so suitable.

……

The night before Google went public, Larry Page had a reception at Li Mu's hotel.

Besides some Wall Street celebrities and Internet tycoons, there are also some well-known Wall Street and foreign media reporters invited.

At the beginning of the reception, Li came from his presidential suite to the executive lounge downstairs.

Tonight, the entire executive lounge is not open to the outside world, all of which are guaranteed by Google.

As soon as Li Mu appeared, Larry Page came up, followed by dozens of media reporters.

Li Mu and Larry Page shook hands and asked the media to take some photos with the pose of shaking hands. Then they stood on a small stage about 20 cm high and accepted the interview of media reporters.

The first one who was asked by Li Mu was a reporter from China Central Television, who immediately asked Li Mu: "Mr. Li, you personally came from China to ring the bell when Google went public. Is this to show the world your close relationship with Google?"

Li Mu said with a smile: "it's a deliberate demonstration. I am a shareholder of Google and a good friend of Mr. Page. It's natural that I should personally congratulate such a big thing."

Then Li Mu said, "by the way, just when you ask this question, I'll announce something here by the way."

As soon as the media reporters heard this, they put their microphones forward to Li Mu one by one, and the photographers at the back also focused on Li Mu alone.

"Mr. Page and I have reached a consensus. We are going to jointly invest by Makino technology and Google to set up a new technology company, which will be named M & G. it is expected to complete the registration within this month and set up its headquarters in Silicon Valley," Li said with a smile

As soon as the words came out, the whole audience was shocked.

Muye technology itself is a shareholder of Google, which is also a big reason why the market is very optimistic about the future of Google. But unexpectedly, the day before listing, Li Mu suddenly announced that he would establish a new joint venture company with Google, which proves that the two companies not only have close ties in capital, but also closely cooperate in business!

It's a big boon for Google.

So the reporter asked in a hurry, "Mr. Li, can you tell me the future business direction of M & G?"

"You should know that Muye technology and Ford have reached an agreement to acquire their three automobile brands, while M & amp; Part of G's future business direction is to provide support for the automotive industry of Makino technology in the future. In addition, we have some strategic plans that are not convenient to announce now. We will announce them step by step when the time is right. "

At this time, CNN reporters in the United States asked: "Mr. Li, can you disclose the specific shareholding ratio of M & G?"

The significance of M & G for Google's promotion mainly depends on Google's shareholding in the company. If it is very high, it proves that Muye technology investment is not big, which may be a passing experience; but if it is very low, it proves that Google is a soy sauce maker.

"The specific shareholding ratio is that Makino technology accounts for 60% and Google accounts for 40%, and we will not increase new shareholders in principle," Li Mu replied immediately

Muye technology accounts for 6 and Google accounts for 4, which is basically the best gold ratio for Google.

After all, Google hopes to endorse Muye technology. It is the younger brother of Muye technology. If it holds too much shares, it will appear that it lacks security.

The reporter also asked Larry Page, "Mr. Page, Makino technology is one of the major shareholders of Google, and will establish M & G company with Google in the future. I wonder if Google's future strategic plan is to survive and develop in accordance with the attached Makino technology?"

Larry Page immediately replied: "as you said, Muye technology is indeed one of the major shareholders of Google and a very important strategic partner in the future, but our business planning with Muye technology is very harmonious, so Google is not dependent on the development of Muye technology in the future, but in-depth cooperation and common development with Muye technology. Now we have Starting to establish a joint venture, we may jointly invest in other projects in the future. This kind of in-depth cooperation is the way Google and Muye technology will go in the future. "In the near future, Larry Page can't directly admit that he has to rely on Makino technology for survival and development, at least let the outside world have a greater expectation of Google's future.

At this time, the reporter of fortune asked Li Mu, "Mr. Li, we have been hearing about the IPO of Muye technology. I wonder when is the specific IPO time of Muye technology? When you come to New York this time, do you want to explore the way for the IPO of Makino technology? "

Li Mu smiled and said, "I don't have any way to explore the IPO. For this kind of thing, we have cooperative accounting firms, law firms, and internal IPO departments. At the same time, we also have the main underwriters of the IPO in the future. Everything is just ready for the door. What else can I explore?"

Said Li Mu: "as for the specific IPO time of Muye technology, I can only tell you that it is tentatively scheduled to start in the second half of this year, but it can not be completely determined, because now for us, the most important issue is to find a suitable time to go public."

At this time, Li Mu suddenly thought of something and said with a smile, "by the way, I saw the media on Wall Street saying that I would like to know how much money I would get if I auction a lunch, and I don't know which media's manuscript?"

The reporter of the Wall Street Journal raised his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Li, that article was written by our Wall Street Journal."

Li Mu smiled and said, "inspired by you, I decided to auction a dinner for a try. Then all the proceeds from the auction will be donated to the veterans immortal charity foundation."

Even Larry Page was a little surprised when he exploded in the press.

No one thought that Li Mu actually decided to auction dinner. Although it was the first time for Buffett, there was no imitator.

The main reason why many tycoons don't follow Buffett's example is that they are worried that their auction amount can't match Buffett's.

After all, Buffett is the God of the investment world. If you eat with Bill Gates and he tells you how he did Microsoft, you will feel very rational after listening, but it's only rational, and there is no practical guidance.

But Buffett is not the same. His experience is all real investment experience, how to analyze the market, how to seize the opportunity, and how to make a lot of profits in the stock market. No one can compare with Buffett in this respect.

Li Mu also didn't know how much he could make for his dinner, because he didn't know what kind of experience he could teach the people who had dinner together.

However, Li Mu himself is a legend, a super legend with the speed of light accumulating huge wealth. In the eyes of the outside world, he is almost covered with treasure. Even if he can get a bit of on-demand broadcast, he will benefit a lot.

As soon as reporters heard that he was going to auction dinner, they began to Twitter and ask questions.

Li Mu then motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then introduced himself: "my auction dinner will be held in Yanjing, China. At that time, I will spare three hours to have dinner with the successful bidders."

"As for the bidders, there are no requirements and restrictions on their status. As long as they are successfully auctioned and paid, they can come to Yanjing to have dinner with me."

A reporter asked in a hurry, "Mr. Li, where will your dinner be auctioned?"

Li Mu said: "dinner will be auctioned online on Taobao international, and will support PayPal and Alipay two online payment channels."

After that, Li Mu said, "Taobao international is not online yet, but it should meet you in the near future."

Another reporter asked, "Mr. Li, did you auction dinner to promote Taobao international?"

Li Mu nodded generously and said, "at the expense of my personal time and energy, I can help my industry to publicize. At the same time, I can also raise money for the Veterans' immortal charity foundation, and kill two birds with one stone. Why not?"

"Do you think which of your dinner and Buffett's lunch is more expensive?"

Li Mu said with a smile: "there is no comparative significance at all. Mr. Buffett is an investment expert. If we have lunch with him, we may get some advice from his decades of investment experience. I'm mainly good at entrepreneurship rather than investment. I can't provide other people with investment experience, but I can still provide some experience and experience in entrepreneurship, so whose transaction price is more specific It depends on the audience. "

"Will your dinner auction continue in the future?"

"I can't say that. If one day I retire and don't want to deal with Entrepreneurship anymore, I should stop it. However, as long as I am still working, the dinner auction will continue."
