Chapter 1020 The Time to Go to the United States Is Ripe
No matter what the American media say about "Paradise Town", American college students are completely fascinated by the game.
First of all, there are a lot of characters like Fiona in every school. By actively promoting the game, adding friends, and through the constant props and gifts given by friends, they have suddenly become a campus with a daily income of thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. New local tyrants.
Secondly, every student who joins the game has discovered the role of this game in promoting personal connections. Through this game, they can not only interact more with their daily friends, but also with the male gods in their minds. , Goddess has direct interaction, and even has a great promotion effect on some contacts that have not been developed for a long time, for example: friends who have not been in contact for a long time have also re-established contact because of this game.
Social games like "Paradise Town" have a very, very strong core point: how long you spend playing this game is equal to how long you spend maintaining and sorting out your personal connections.
The daily life of young people in the new era is becoming more and more stagnant. On weekdays, at most, they keep in contact with a few classmates and friends around them, and they basically have little contact with others. Moreover, everyone is not willing to waste time and energy on simple network maintenance. , no one will take ten minutes or even hours a day to text, call or even write to friends to maintain their connections, but if you can combine this work with gaming, the result is very different .
The sorting and maintenance of human connections in "Paradise Town" has allowed all college students to find an unprecedented fun in it. Their obsession with this kind of fun has accelerated the popularity of "Paradise Town" among American college students.
In a short period of time, Makino Technology has become a giant in the eyes of the Internet industry in the United States by virtue of "Paradise Town" and the supporting promotion method of "Paradise Town", and has become the object of crazy pursuit in the entire US capital field.
So far, Makino Technology has taken the initiative to take two measures in the entire US and even the global market.
The first trick is that yy unexpectedly became popular among the elites, and then Muye Technology immediately carried out customized upgrades for these elites, expanding the market and income of the elites;
The second trick is to rely on a game that earns tens of millions of dollars a day in the United States and attracts countless American college students.
The editor-in-chief of "-valley-magazine", the most authoritative magazine in Silicon Valley, who once became a fan of Li Mu when yy became popular, expressed his unreserved praise for Muye Technology in the latest issue of the magazine.
He said in the article: "Li Mu and his Makino technology have already impressed me. I have never seen an Internet company succeed so easily in the American market, which even gave me the illusion that the United States It is not the founder of the Internet, nor the center of the Internet. Huaxia is! Otherwise, how can you explain that a Huaxia Internet company has conquered the US market so easily? In my impression, it is even among the Internet companies that the United States went to China to develop. , and there is no one that can easily win in China like Muye Technology in the United States?"
His remarks have been approved by the entire Silicon Valley and even the entire United States who are concerned about Muye Technology. The easy success of Muye Technology in the United States highlights that the American market is like the border of a weak country, which can easily be invaded by foreign invaders. Shred.
And more exciting remarks are yet to come. Because of this article, he created a new argument in the Internet industry: the panda theory.
The original text of the article said: "I think American Internet companies are as helpless when facing Muye Technology as all other animals in the Washington Zoo when facing giant pandas from China."
"The reason why I am helpless is because the latter seems to have natural magic power. It doesn't even have to do anything. It came to the United States on a plane like a big man, and appeared in the zoo out of thin air. It should eat, drink, sleep and sleep. , You don’t have to work hard to please tourists at all, just relying on one appearance, you can immediately attract countless fans, causing tourists to compete for them, not only awesome, but also natural.”
"Compared with this Chinese panda, the animals in the zoo who have exhausted all their efforts and exhausted all their energy to please tourists are really pathetic, and their life-long efforts can't compare to a panda's trip to the ground. Influence while nibbling on bamboo."
Finally, it concluded: "Maybe some companies are born with this 'panda temperament', so they can achieve the greatest success in the fastest and easiest way. When faced with such companies, other companies do not have to Be discouraged, who made it a panda? When faced with such a company, venture capital must seize the opportunity. You must know that this is a rare panda. When encountering such a company, the best thing you should do is to Tell him directly: How much does it cost? I'll give it!"
His article caused quite a stir in the US Internet industry and the financial world. Everyone agreed with his "Panda Theory", because Muye Technology's performance in the US market is indeed no different from that of Panda. So far, no one A company as efficient as Muye Technology can achieve such a strong market, income and influence with only two moves in the US market. Therefore, it has become an outlier in the eyes of Internet companies in the United States. The "giant panda" with a powerful halo.
The ownership of "Paradise Town" belongs to the split Muye game. In essence, the money earned by this game has nothing to do with Muye Technology, but this still accelerates the world capital's crazy pursuit of Muye Technology. Because of the same thing, Li Mu had already played in the Huaxia market once.
When "Happy Farm" became popular in China, it was equivalent to preparing a nuclear attack against other communication and social products on the market. As long as "Happy Farm" and yy were merged, it was equivalent to pressing the nuclear explosion button. In an instant, it subverted the QQ that was the dominant player in the market at that time.
Now, the upgraded product "Paradise Town", which is many times more fun than "Happy Farm", has begun to be popular among American college students. At the same time, once "Paradise Town" is popular in the United States, yy will be completely popularized in the American market. By that time, the market value of Makino Technology may double several times.
Ding Zhenglin, who is proficient in capital, realized this excellent time window. When he found Li Mu, his first sentence was: "Mr. Li, the time to go to the United States is ripe!"
Li Mu had also anticipated this for a long time. He knew that he must go to the United States in the near future, but he had not yet set a time.
So Li Mu asked him, "When do you think it's appropriate?"
Ding Zhenglin said: "Just these two days. Now is the time when we have the greatest reputation in the United States."
Ding Zhenglin suddenly said this, which is equivalent to helping Li Mu to make a decision that has not been decided at once, and the financing of companies with a valuation of over 10 billion US dollars at every turn. A really good financing window is even rarer than a rocket launch window, so Li Mu didn't think too much, nodded immediately and said to him, "Then leave in two days, you prepare and come with me."
Ding Zhenglin nodded: "Okay, Mr. Li, I'll start preparing now."
After Ding Zhenglin left, Li Mu called Kong Lingyu and the core management of Muye Technology and Muye Games to hold an emergency meeting. Since he left for the United States in two days, he officially set foot on the land of the US Emperor three days later and began to fight with the big bosses and chaebols of the US Emperor. Fighting bravely, Li Mu felt that he still needed Muye Technology and Muye Games to provide him with more artillery support!
After everyone was seated in the conference room, Li Mu went straight to the point and said to everyone, "I called everyone here today to announce a decision to everyone. I met with Mr. Ding, who is in charge of capital operations in our company, and decided to take advantage of the opportunity. In the past two days, Muye Technology has successfully grabbed the attention of the industry in the United States, and set off to the United States to discuss our C-round financing with Sequoia, and the specific time of departure will be set the day after tomorrow.”
When Li Muyi announced that he was going to the United States, everyone at the conference table was very excited. Although Muye Technology is developing rapidly, but now it wants to expand the battlefield to the world, and the weapons, ammunition, and rations for soldiers and horses are all stretched out, so that YY has not officially launched in the United States. Active promotion was started, and "Paradise Town" could only start from the battlefield of college students, and there was no way to fight a full-scale war. However, once the financing was in place, more than one billion US dollars of cash was lying on the account. At that time, Muye Technology It has the power to expand globally.
Everyone happily communicated, and the content of the exchange was nothing more than waiting for the money to arrive, what adjustments should be made to everyone's gameplay.
Li Mu gave everyone a few minutes to think boldly and yy. When everyone was almost done talking, he interrupted with a smile and said, "This time I'm going to the United States, not only to talk about financing, but also to find opportunities to meet all over the world. Big boss, big boss in the financial world, big boss in the Internet world, big boss in software, big boss in hardware, when I negotiate with them at the negotiating table at the other party's base camp in the next few days, in order to get the best As a result, I will definitely need more confidence to deter the opponent, so I need everyone to focus on giving me a round of intensive fire support during this time."
Kong Lingyu understood what Li Mu meant, and immediately said, "Mr. Li, please let us know how we can cooperate with you. We have almost completed the development of the 'attachment online preview' function and the 'discussion group' function that you asked us to develop for yy. It will be available in the next two to three days at the earliest, and I believe these two functions will definitely shock the elite group in the United States!"
Technologist Fang Xudong said with a smile: "If these two new features are launched at one time, I think it will bring more than shock to users, enough to make them worship!"
Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "These two new features are naturally one of the firepower support I want, in addition to this, I also need "Paradise Town" to make a big move for me after I go to the United States! "
