Before Li Mu visited Muye Technology's new office building in Silicon Valley, these bigwigs in Silicon Valley could no longer sit still.

In less than an hour, the public relations department of Makino Technology's American branch received a request from more than a dozen companies, including Larry Page, the founder of Google, who had not had time to make an appointment.

Makino Technology is now one of the world's top Internet companies, and has a huge number of users and powerful promotion channels. This is a dream-free in-depth cooperation partner for all Internet companies, so it is normal for everyone to hope to deepen cooperation with Makino Technology.

Except for Larry Page, Li Mu did not respond to anyone else. For Li Mu, he does not want to find too many traffic partners now, which is a bad overdraft for Muye Technology. For example, if an American e-commerce company wants Muye Technology to divert traffic to him and Muye Technology agrees again, it will almost be equivalent to overdrafting the potential of Muye Technology to do e-commerce in the United States in advance. Although the other party will definitely pay Muye Technology a certain promotion fee, for Li Mu, that little money is completely irrelevant to him.

This is also the reason why Li Mu does not want to meet these people for the time being. He does not want to overdraw Muye Technology's many possibilities in the future for a little profit. Now he overdraws and fattens others. If he wants to bring them back in the future, the difficulty will be increased by a factor of a factor, and this transaction is not cost-effective.

Lin Qingya conveyed the decision to meet with Larry Page for Li Mu and asked Larry Page about the meeting time he hoped. After receiving the confirmation message, Larry Page happily suggested to Lin Qingya that it would be best to meet with Li Mu in the afternoon. After Lin Qingya asked Li Mu, she formally replied to him and set the meeting time to three o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Mu asked Lin Qingya: "Why do you think Larry Page is so anxious to see me?"

Lin Qingya smiled and said, "Ninety percent want to attract traffic from our yy and yy Internet, right? Google is very clear about this when we don't make search engines."

Li Mu nodded and praised: "You are very accurate in seeing it. Larry Page's biggest goal must be traffic cooperation. He is probably a little panicked now."

"What?" Lin Qingya looked puzzled.

Li Mu said: "Yahoo has always wanted to be its own search engine, and it is only a matter of time before it is abandoned. Yahoo now has a high market share. If they really announce the abandonment of Google, it will be a big loss for Google, not only will it lose a large number of users, but also an additional competitor."

Lin Qingya asked: "Do you think Yahoo can compare with Google as a search engine?"

Li Mu said: "It should be no problem to start two or three years earlier. Now it is too late to catch up with it."

Lin Qingya said: "According to you, Yahoo will not have much impact on Google."

Li Mu smiled and said: "The market reaction is oversold, just like stock prices. When negative news comes, it will usually be oversold and then slowly make up for it. So if Yahoo officially announces that it will be a search engine on its own, it will have a great impact on Google in a short period of time. Google will need some time to keep making up for it. Moreover, Google should consider IP next year. Larry Page must do everything possible to increase the market's recognition of Google before IP."

Lin Qingya asked again: "Then are you going to cooperate with him?"

Li Mu said: "Depending on the urgency of his demand, if his demand is urgent, I think we can use the method of adding money to Google."

Lin Qingya said helplessly: "My boss, you have to calculate the accounts in your mind. Although our valuation is rising, if you don't raise funds, we can't cash in. How can you invest in Google without money? What's more, you also want to acquire Apple, and it's a wholly-owned acquisition..."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry about money. You have to carry the car to the mountain first. The mentality of moving forward. As long as you can drive all the way to the foot of the mountain, the money will naturally come."

Lin Qingya asked with a smile: "What if the money doesn't come?"

Li Mu curled his lips: "If you don't have money, just turn around and come back. You can afford to drive a car. Do you still care about that little gas money?"

...

Larry Page arrived at 2:40.

The last time I met Li Mu, Muye Technology had not completed the round of financing for Sequoia. At that time, Larry Page himself estimated the valuation for Muye Technology in his heart was about 20 billion US dollars. A 20-year-old e-created a valuation of 20 billion US dollars had already surprised Larry Page, but what he didn't expect was that when he was actually raising funds, Li Mu had to get a high valuation of 33 billion US dollars from Sequoia.

What he couldn't believe even more was that goodbye to Li Mu, Muye Technology's valuation has exceeded US$80 billion.

The news that Sequoia hopes to invest in Makino Technology for a round of $80 billion is no longer news in Silicon Valley. Everyone knows this. This is news released by Sequoia. Such news will have a certain effect on the valuation of Makino Technology. For Sequoia, even if it cannot invest in Makino Technology, it is at least a shareholder of Makino Technology. As long as it can increase Makino Technology's valuation, it will be of practical benefit to them.

Within such a short period of time, Li Mu created a legend of young rich people around the world. Combined with the two dimensions of value and age, Li Mu is the most comprehensive entrepreneur in the world, which also makes Larry Page amazed and admired, and also hopes to find a powerful source of traffic for Google.

Li Mu met with Larry Page in the office prepared by Lin Qingya for himself. This office is the best in the entire office building. It has a large area, about 100 square meters. In addition to the office area and the reception area, there is also a bedroom and a separate bathroom for rest. The office is located in the southeast corner of the third floor, so it has two floor-to-ceiling windows, which have plenty of light and a good view.

When he saw Li Mu, Larry Page took the initiative to move forward and shook hands with him, and said to Li Mu in Chinese: "Mr. Li, we are meeting again. Welcome to Silicon Valley."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Mr. Page is learning Chinese recently?"

"A little bit..." Larry Page smiled apologetically and said in English: "It's really hard to speak Chinese, I think I still have a long way to go."

Li Mu nodded and invited Larry Page to sit down in the reception area, and smiled and said, "I heard that our newly rented office building is not far from you?"

"It's really close to you after walking for ten minutes," Larry Page said.

Li Mu said: "Then you are welcome to come here often. If I am not here, you can find Ms. Lin Qingya, who is the vice president of our Makino Technology and e of our Makino Technology American branch."

Larry Page hurriedly said: "I have met Mr. Lin several times. I will strengthen communication in the future to see if there are good opportunities for cooperation. I also hope that Mr. Li, you can spend more time in Silicon Valley. For Silicon Valley, you are a legendary existence. I heard that when you come today, the whole Silicon Valley can't hold back."

Li Mu smiled and said, "In the future, I may have more and more time to stay in Silicon Valley. When we look back, we can leave a private contact information. If I come to Silicon Valley, or if you go to China, we will contact you in time."

"Okay." Larry Page hurriedly took out his business card and handed it to Li Mu and said: "Mr. Li, please deposit my contact information into your mobile phone."

Li Mu nodded, took out his business card and handed it to him, and then asked him: "Mr. Page, you shouldn't just reminisce about the past, right? We two are old acquaintances. If you have anything, just talk."

Larry Page rubbed his hands and smiled and said, "Mr. Li, just call me Larry. I'm here to find you this time because of a cooperation intention."

"Oh?" Li Mu asked him: "What kind of cooperation is there?"

Larry Page said: "We have paid attention to the product structure of yy and yy. In China, yy and yy.com are providing quick entrances to facilitate yy users and also guiding traffic. I personally think this is a very good cooperation model, which can not only provide convenient search services to yy users, but also bring higher quality user traffic. However, I also paid attention to it. There is currently no plan to expand overseas, and there is even no preparation to provide English search engine services. Therefore, non-Chinese yy and yy.com users cannot enjoy such fast search services on yy products. I personally think this is a pity and is also an inconvenient place for users."

Li Mu nodded slightly and said, "Larry, to me, I am not a very selfless person, just like most technical architectures choose to close the source. I don't want users in the yy ecosystem to flow out, even if it's just flowing out in some fields."

Speaking of this, Li Mu said again: "Look, I don't do a search engine, but search engines will invade my users' online time, which is equivalent to a water pipe in my own reservoir. No matter how thick or thin it is, it will only unilaterally absorb the amount of water in my reservoir. If I develop the habit of using search engines for my users, it will undoubtedly give some of their online time to search engines. This is a kind of harm to my own business itself. If it weren't for my investment in Baidu, I would never have opened my users to them."

Larry Page didn't expect that Li Mu would say so utterly as soon as he came up. First, he refused to divert traffic to external traffic, and secondly, even if he diverted traffic to Baidu, it was because he had invested in Baidu. According to his words, he wanted to cooperate with Muye Technology, and the only possibility was to let Muye Technology invest in the first place?

But then again, being invested by Muye Technology is not a bad thing. Every entrepreneur has two needs, one is capital needs, and the other is resource needs. Those who are short of money will first choose funds, but as long as those who are not so short of money will choose resources.

This is why many companies especially want to be invested by Yahoo. In addition to giving money, Yahoo investment also gives resources, and resources are often more important than money.

In fact, in the future, almost all Internet models are inseparable from Tengxun and Alibaba. This is the reason. By entering their ecosystem, they can get their resources, which will play a great role in promoting their own development.
