Chapter 1497 Industrial upgrading

At 10 a.m., the signing ceremony officially began.

This is the largest public commercial event held since the establishment of Makino Technology. There are a large number of media reporters on site. It is the largest in the press conference for major domestic companies.

The stage was built quite grandly. In the center of the wide stage, there were three tables and three chairs. Each table had a name tag. Li Mu was in the middle, with Robin on the left and Larry Page on the right.

As time came, the host walked onto the stage alone, and the originally noisy and chaotic scene quickly became quiet.

At this time, the host spoke in a very solemn broadcasting voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, all the entrepreneurs and media friends present, thank you for taking the time to attend the signing ceremony of muye&baidu and the acquisition with Google in the United States. I am the host of today's signing ceremony, Bai Song."

After the host finished speaking, he bowed ninety degrees to all the guests below.

Since there are many overseas media and customers today, Makino Technology also specially invited a top simultaneous interpreter to synchronize the Chinese-English translation and English translation work in real time based on the language used by the on-site host and speaker.

After the translator finished instant translation in English, the host continued: "Everyone should have already understood the theme of today's ceremony. Google decided to acquire muye&baidu, a joint venture jointly established by Makino Technology and Baidu at the cost of its own 33.3% stake."

After a moment of pause, the host said: "Today's merger has created many records. It is the largest merger and acquisition case since Google was established, and it is also Muye Technology. Since Baidu was established, as the largest merger and acquisition participated by the acquirer, in addition, muye&baidu is also recognized as the fastest growing company in the world's market value. It was acquired with an investment of 10 million US dollars to a valuation of at least 3 billion US dollars, which took only one month...

When talking about this, the domestic media and guests in the audience couldn't help laughing out loud. Li Mu did set a record, the fastest and most hated record in the world. For Li Mu, this record is of course worthy of pride, but for Larry Page, I don't know what kind of mood he feels now.

Soon, when the translator translated this sentence into English, the overseas media and guests also smiled and applauded. The reason why Li Mu was sought after by entrepreneurs around the world was not only because he could quickly build a huge Internet empire, but more importantly, his amazing operations along the way with Muye Technology, the most praised of which was the acquisition and privatization of Apple, and the sale of muye&baidu to Google.

When the applause from the audience weakened, the host said, "Ladies and gentlemen, here I want to introduce to you the three protagonists of our signing ceremony today, namely Mr. Larry Page, founder of Google and Mr. Ceo and Mr. Robin, founder of Baidu and Mr. Ceo and Mr. Li Mu, and Mr. Ceo and Mr. Li."

Every time the host recites a name, warm applause will sound from the audience.

After all the three of them were introduced, the host said: "Next, let us applaud Mr. Larry Page on the stage!"

The applause rang again, and Larry Page, wearing black trousers and a white shirt, quickly took the stage from one side of the stage. As soon as he appeared on the stage, media and guests from the West stood up and applauded. In their eyes, Larry Page was also a legend who changed the world, but in front of a great god like Li Mu, the halo was a little dim.

After Larry Page took the stage, the host handed the stage to him. Larry Page walked to the center of the stage, held McCannon and said with a smile: "To be honest, I'm a little nervous when I started my business for so many years and have been involved in such a big scene in person for the first time."

There was a burst of laughter in the audience, and Larry Page said: "It is very honored to be able to come to China and Yanjing this time, and it is also very honored to be able to reach a significant strategic cooperation on behalf of Google with two amazing companies, Muye Technology and Baidu."

"Google has always been committed to making the Internet world more convenient. Baidu is consistent with our goal in this regard. Makino Technology, a great company that truly changes the entire Internet world. It is Makino Technology that allows netizens around the world to truly experience the major trend of global informatization. It is also Makino Technology that allows netizens around the world to cross the farthest distance on this planet through a network cable and integrate them together. It is our honor to be able to cooperate with such a great company."

Applause was thunderous.

No one dares to deny the contributions made by Makino Technology to the global Internet industry. YY's entire product ecosystem has caused netizens around the world to lose their sense of distance, completely changed the pattern of Internet social networking, and also made indelible and huge contributions to the popularization of the Internet.

At this time, Larry Page said: "In my personal opinion, the cooperation between Google, Baidu and Makino Technology will have a very far-reaching impact on the three companies. In this golden age of rapid Internet development, the three companies can give up competition and work together, which is also the most beneficial solution for the three companies. Here, I sincerely hope that the cooperation between the three companies can continue to develop smoothly, while allowing the three companies to continue to develop, and also allowing the three companies to be closer to each other."

Although Larry Page had already fully accepted the fate of being beaten by Li Mu, he still didn't want others to look down on him because of this.

There are indeed some remarks now that Larry Page has limited ability, limited courage, and limited level, so Li Mu was pressed to the ground and rubbed hard. Li Mu asked him to spend billions of dollars to buy an empty shell, and he could only nod and agree. Therefore, the owner of such remarks described Larry Page as the number one coward in Silicon Valley and sarcasticated Larry Page.

So Larry Page has been planning such remarks, not only for counterattack, but also his true feelings in recent times.

In Larry Page's opinion, although he is indeed timid, the result of being timid is very good, so he hopes to change the view of these people on him and let them know that he is not timid, but knows the current affairs.

After Larry Page's simple speech ended, Robin was half a soy sauce party at this ceremony and appeared on stage after Larry Page. Since Baidu accounts for a relatively low proportion of this cooperation and follows the way to make money, Robin's speech is also relatively simple. He basically praises the cooperation measures of the three companies and has great confidence in the future.

When Li Mu was the last to take the stage, the atmosphere on the scene reached its highest point. From the host's name to the time he took the stage, the applause at the scene did not diminish for a moment, and all the guests sitting stood up and applauded, expressing their inner respect to Li Mu.

Li Mu took a few minutes in the center of the stage and bowed to people from multiple directions to thank them. The applause at the scene gradually stopped.

When the applause stopped, Li Mu picked up the microphone and said with a smile: "Larry just said that this is the biggest scene he has experienced since his business. To be honest, it is the same for me. I have never faced so many media friends at the same time. Moreover, many of the people sitting in the audience are elites, seniors, pioneers, and everyone can come here to support the cooperation between Muye Technology, Baidu and Google. I am personally very touched."

After a pause, Li Mu said again: "Actually, I know in my heart that this merger and acquisition cooperation has caused a lot of topics in the market and controversy. Some people say that Google is a sucker and I was slaughtered; some people say that Muye Technology is a bandit and plundered Google; some people say that Google acquired muye&baidu for self-protection. Many people portray me as the biggest robber in the Internet industry, but they overlooked a question: If I were a robber, why did Larry perform happier than me? You saw it just now. He was full of rogue and I don't know how good he was. When he first came to China to find me to cooperate with him a few days ago, he was decadent like a down-and-out tourist who lost his wallet in a foreign country."

There was a burst of laughter from the audience. Larry Page was really excited just now, and there was no way he could see that he was robbed.

At this time, Li Mu smiled and said, "Actually, I want to take this opportunity to share my concept with the whole world, that is: the Internet industry looks very cutting-edge, very magical, and very revolutionary, but in fact, the Internet industry model is still at a very early stage. Now is a good opportunity to upgrade the industry. Whoever takes this step first will be able to achieve greater success."

Everyone in the audience stared at Li Mu without blinking, waiting for him to explain the concept of "industrial upgrading".

Li Mu continued: "Looking at the entire Internet industry, the Internet industry model at its implementation stage is very simple. Either you do yours, I do mine; or I want to do yours, and you also want to do mine."

"The former will lead to few interactions in the industry, with a lot of barriers and barriers, while the latter will lead to endless internal frictions and internal conflicts among companies in the industry. Look at our current Internet. Microsoft will watch Yahoo to make portals, so it will also have to make portals; Yahoo will watch Google to do search, so it will also have to do search; Google may watch Makino Technology to make music, so he also wants to make music, so everyone starts wars everywhere, and every war is a long-lasting war of attrition on absenteeism, so everyone will never have peace of mind."

"This is like we are with Google. If we cannot reach cooperation, then Makino Technology will invest huge manpower and material resources to compete with Google in the search engine field. Google will also invest a lot of manpower and material resources to resist Makino Technology's attack. There are only two final results, either Google repels Makino Technology, or Makino Technology kills Google. However, this kind of competition is like World War I. Both sides dig a trench, each spends tens of billions of military spending, and each sacrifices the lives of dozens of millions of soldiers. Even if such a war is won, it will be a tragic victory. The huge sacrifices of both sides cannot be restored."
