Li Mu's time plan for going to the United States this time is: as short as one week, as long as ten days and half a month, but the carry-on luggage he prepared is very simple, a 20-inch boarding box, which contains two sets of changing clothes and some simple personal supplies. Apart from that, it is a laptop, nothing else.

After sending Zhao Ziqiu back to Yan University, Li Mu drove to the airport alone and met with the large army waiting at the airport.

There were eleven people who went to the United States with Li Mu this time. In addition to his personal assistant Li Ziwei, there were three bodyguards including Wang Yuanlang. These four were Li Mu's personal team, and the remaining seven were all negotiators organized by Ding Zhenglin, as well as financial and legal representatives.

Compared with the last time when Makino Technology employees chartered flights to the United States and held a farewell ceremony at the airport, Li Mu and his group walked very low-key this time, without chartering flights, but just bought the first-class seats for the flight. At the same time, they did not notify domestic media. Even Sequoia Capital, who could not wait to interview with Li Mu, had no idea when Li Mu would go to the United States.

In order to avoid trouble, the twelve-person team waited in the airport VIP lounge until all other passengers boarded the plane. The flight attendant used an opaque curtain to separate the first class and business class, and only then boarded the plane after economy class.

At 10:40 in the morning, the plane Li Mu and others took to soar into the air at the Capital Airport. Li Mu lay on the semi-closed first-class seat, looking at the increasingly smaller capital airport outside the window, feeling a lot of emotion.

Li Mu has never been to the United States. As a programmer, he naturally regards the United States and Silicon Valley as a palace in his professional field. Therefore, he had the idea of ​​traveling in the United States in his previous life, but was rejected by the embassy for a particularly strange reason. Since then, Li Mu has never thought of traveling in the United States.

Recalling the process of being rejected, Li Mu still remembers it vividly. He had worked in Yanjing for several years and had a savings of more than 100,000 yuan. He originally wanted to take out a travel fund of about 30,000 yuan to go to the United States to check it out, but after reading his career information and bank statements, the visa officer asked him a question: "What are you going to the United States for?"

Li Mu answered truthfully: "Go to travel."

The visa officer asked him again: "Which city or region do you like the most in the United States?"

Li Mu said: "I have never been to the United States, so I can't say what I like the most. If I yearn for it, I yearn for Silicon Valley the most."

The visa officer nodded with admiration and said, "Silicon Valley is the pride of the United States. Since you are a practitioner in the Internet industry, you should go to Silicon Valley to have a look if you have the opportunity."

After saying that, the visa official talk changed and said, "But sorry, I can't pass it this time. I hope you will have the opportunity to go to Silicon Valley in the future."

Then, the visa officer refused him without hesitation.

Li Mu's income, turnover, company guarantee and other materials met the application standards at that time, so he was confused by the visa officer's rejection of visa, so he asked the visa officer: "Can you tell me what the reason for the visa rejection?"

The visa officer was patient and explained one by one: "First of all, you have never been abroad; secondly, you have worked in Yanjing for so many years, and you have no Yanjing household registration, no real estate, car ownership, and your deposit has not yet been converted to 20,000 US dollars. Thirdly, your yearning for Silicon Valley makes me worried that you have a certain tendency to immigrate, so I can't pass it for you."

At that time, Li Mu was stunned and asked him: "Why have I never been abroad? I have no car, house, or deposits, but I have a tendency to immigrate? Isn't immigration a game that only rich people can play?"

The visa officer said with a sorry look: "Sir, my next words may be a bit straightforward, please forgive me."

After saying that, the visa officer said seriously: "Immigration tendency is just a general statement. In your specific case, it can be understood as having a certain suspicion of working."

Li Mu suddenly realized that the visa officer saw that he had no car, house, and no deposit in Yanjing, and he had a three-no-person life. He also showed extraordinary yearning for Silicon Valley. He was afraid that his purpose of going to the United States was not to travel, but to look for a job in Silicon Valley, so he refused himself.

Li Mu suffered a big blow that time. He felt that he was too failed as a drifter in Beijing and was also angry. After leaving the embassy, ​​he went to the Asian Games village where car sellers gathered. He spent less than 100,000 yuan to buy a Pentium B50. It was his first car and the most expensive item he had ever bought in his previous life.

Who would have thought that if I could be refused visas when I traveled to the United States in my previous life, I was sitting on a plane to the United States, and I was preparing to go to the United States to negotiate a big business worth more than one billion US dollars. Comparing the situation of my previous life with the present, it was really in heaven and earth, which made people feel moved.

When talking about the United States, Li Mu also loves and hates it. It is undeniable that the United States has a strong position in the IT field, gathering cutting-edge Internet talents from all over the world, giving birth to countless great Internet companies, and at the same time, it has also given birth to a large number of hardware companies that have changed the entire social development process.

But then again, the arrogance and arrogance of the Americans also made Li Mu always feel a little thorny about this country.

It is precisely because of this feeling of love and hate that Li Mu especially hopes to use his own products to conquer the American market.

For Chinese Internet companies, at least half of the weight behind the four words "overseas market" falls in the United States.

If you want to conquer the world, you must conquer the United States first!

...

San Francisco Airport.

Lin Qingya, who has been busy with the American branch of Makino Technology in Silicon Valley, rushed to the airport early in the morning with a rented convoy.

During this period, Lin Qingya, as the top management of Muye Technology in the United States, personally decided on many things. It seemed that she was in power, but she was increasingly missing her days in China.

Li Mu made the decision in all major matters in China. Even if it was not Li Mu's suggestion, Li Mu made the final decision. However, during this period, Li Mu has been emphasizing the concept of "carrying the banner" to Lin Qingya. In his opinion, sending Lin Qingya to the United States was to let her carry the banner of Muye technology in the United States. In this case, she must learn to make the decision.

Li Mu deliberately did not participate in the branch office location;

Li Mu deliberately missed the office floor plan and real photos;

Li Mu doesn’t read a resume for high-end talent recruitment...

Everything is forcing Lin Qingya to quickly get into the role and be a real decision maker.

Lin Qingya is not an ordinary person. Although she is not old, she is a combination of spring and sponge. She is said to be a spring because she has strong resistance to pressure and has the ability to convert pressure into motivation. She is said to be a sponge because she draws experience and has strong knowledge and has a very fast growth rate.

Although Lin Qingya adapted quickly in the United States alone, when Li Mu was about to come, she almost immediately became dependent on Li Mu again. She always felt that she was looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally came to Li Mu.

The flight Li Mu was on a flight landing perfectly on the runway of San Francisco Airport. The moment the plane tire hit the ground, Li Mu felt a solemn and serene sense of responsibility.

Finally airborne on the United States! Li Mu knew in his heart that he not only shouldered the mission of conquering this land, but also the mission of making the people on this land admire the Chinese Internet industry, the Chinese people and even the entire China.

Perhaps in the future, the day when I first set foot in the United States will become a turning point in the development of the entire Chinese Internet industry. This means that after imitating the American Internet for so long, China Internet has been in turn exporting more advanced Internet products and operating models to the US Internet market.

The plane stopped steadily, the bridge was docked, and the cabin door was opened. Li Mu, who was inexplicably excited, quickly left the plane with the others in the team, wearing a disposable medical mask.

As soon as he got off the plane, Li Mu no longer had the leisure and elegance he had when he was on the plane. He stood on the land of America for the first time and did not care about sighing and sighing, nor did he care about giving advice to the country in his heart. The group led all the passengers on the same plane and went straight to the customs.

This time, in order to ensure efficiency, Li Mu asked all the luggage of the entourage to be as simple as possible, and to carry all the luggage as much as possible, and not check it in. In this way, the efficiency can be improved a lot. As for the daily necessities that everyone needs, Li Mu has already told Lin Qingya to arrange for someone in advance. If there is any temporary demand, it can be purchased locally anytime and anywhere. The retail market in the United States is highly developed and mature, and it is very convenient to buy things.

Lin Qingya had already brought her assistant and Muye Technology staff to wait at the airport exit. Li Mu and others passed through the customs. Lin Qingya recognized Li Mu wearing a mask as soon as possible, hurried forward, and said excitedly: "Mr. Li, you have been waiting for you."

Li Mu looked up and down at Lin Qingya, smiled slightly, and said, "Qingya has not been in the United States for a long time, and she has become more beautiful and elegant."

Lin Qingya smiled generously and said jokingly: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your praise, but you said that it seems that I am not working in the United States, but I am here to dress up."

As he said that, Lin Qingya sighed and complained: "Mr. Li, you don't know. We have been so busy in the United States that we have doubted our lives during this period. I don't even have time to put on makeup. Today I took the time to put on makeup on the way here."

Li Mu smiled and said, "I know you're busy, but don't think that we're here to help you solve your problems. In fact, we're causing you more trouble."

Lin Qingya said: "We will have a backbone when you come, and we will be happy even if it causes trouble."

The few people around him smiled knowingly, and Lin Qingya hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, the convoy is waiting outside. Let's get on the bus first. I will slowly introduce the situation here to you when I get in the bus."
