Chapter 1027 The Starting Point of Conquering the World

Li Mu's time plan for going to the United States this time is as follows: as short as a week, as long as ten days and a half, but the prepared carry-on luggage is very simple, a 20-inch boarding case, two changes of clothes, and some Simple personal items, nothing more than a laptop.

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

Compared with the last time Muye Technology staff chartered a flight to the United States and held a farewell ceremony at the airport, this time Li Mu and his party went very low-key. The domestic media, even Sequoia Capital, who couldn't wait to meet Li Mu, didn't even know when Li Mu would go to the United States.

In order to avoid trouble, the team of 12 waited in the VIP lounge at the airport until all other passengers had boarded the plane, and the flight attendants separated the first class from the business and economy classes with an opaque curtain before boarding the plane.

At 10:40 in the morning, the plane that Li Mu and others took took off at the Capital Airport. Li Mu was lying on the semi-enclosed first-class seat, looking out the window of the Capital Airport, which was getting smaller and smaller. He was filled with emotion.

Li Mu has never been to the United States. As a programmer, he naturally regards the United States and Silicon Valley as the halls of the professional field, so he also had the idea of ​​traveling to the United States in his last life. The person refused the visa, and since then, Li Mu has never thought of traveling to the United States.

Recalling the process of being refused a visa, Li Mu still vividly remembers it. He had been working in Yanjing for several years, and he had savings of over 100,000. Let's take a look at the United States, and the visa officer asked him a question after reading his career information and bank statements and other materials: "What are you going to do in the United States?"

Li Mu answered truthfully: "Go on a tour."

The visa officer asked him again: "Which city or region in the United States is your favorite?"

Li Mu said: "I haven't been to the United States, so I can't say where I like it the most. If I'm looking forward to 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, if you have the opportunity, you should really go to Silicon Valley to see it."

finished,

The visa official changed the subject and said, "But sorry, I can't pass it for you this time. I hope you will have the opportunity to visit Silicon Valley in the future."

Then, the visa officer refused him without hesitation.

Li Mu's income, current status, company guarantee and other materials at that time all met the application standards, so he was a little puzzled by the direct rejection of the visa by the visa officer, so he asked the visa officer: "Can you tell me what is the reason for the refusal?"

The visa officer was also patient and explained one by one: "First of all, you have never been abroad; secondly, you have worked in Yanjing for so many years, you have no Yanjing household registration, and you have no real estate or car property, and your savings has not been converted into two dollars. $10,000; again, your yearning for Silicon Valley makes me worry that you have a certain immigrant leanings, so I can't give you a pass."

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

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

After all, the visa officer said seriously: "Immigration tendency is just a general statement. In your case, it can be understood that there is a certain suspicion of migrant workers."

Li Mu suddenly realized that it turned out that the visa officer saw that he had no car, no house, no savings in Yanjing, living a life of three people, and showed an extraordinary yearning for Silicon Valley. He was afraid that the purpose of his trip to the United States was not tourism. , but went to Silicon Valley to find a job, so he rejected himself,

Li Mu's heart was hit a lot that time. He felt that he was a failure as a three-no-beijing drifter. He was also holding back his breath. After leaving the embassy, ​​he went to the Asian Games Village where car dealers gathered. At the price of 100,000 yuan, he bought a Besturn B50, which was his first car and the most expensive item he had ever bought in his last life.

Who would have thought that I, who could have been denied a visa to travel to the United States in my previous life, was sitting on a plane to the United States at this moment, and I was planning to go to the United States to negotiate a big business worth more than one billion US dollars. To make a comparison, it is really heaven and earth, which makes people feel emotional.

When it comes to the United States, Li Mu also loves it and hates it in his heart. It is undeniable that the United States has a strong position in the IT field. It has brought together cutting-edge Internet talents from all over the world, and has given birth to countless great Internet companies. At the same time, it has also nurtured a large number of Computers have changed the hardware business of the entire social development process.

But then again, the arrogance and arrogance of the Americans also made Li Mu always harbor some grudges against this country in his heart.

It is precisely because of this love-hate relationship that Li Mu particularly hopes to use his products to conquer the American market.

For Huaxia Internet companies, at least half of the weight behind the word "overseas market" falls in the United States.

If you want to conquer the world, you must conquer America first!

...

San Francisco Airport.

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

During this time, Lin Qingya, as the top management of Muye Technology in the United States, personally decided on many things. It seemed that she was in control, but she missed the days in China more and more in her heart.

All major matters in China are decided by Li Mu. Even if it is not Li Mu's suggestion, it is Li Mu who makes the final decision. However, during this time, Li Mu has been emphasizing the concept of "carrying the big flag" with Lin Qingya. In his opinion, Sending Lin Qingya to the United States is to let her carry the banner of Makino Technology in the United States. In this case, she must learn to make decisions.

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

The floor plan of the office space and the actual photos, Li Mu deliberately missed it;

For high-end talent recruitment, Li Mu does not read a single resume...

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

Lin Qingya is also not an ordinary person. Although she is young, she is a combination of a spring and a sponge. She says she is a spring because she has a strong ability to withstand pressure and has the ability to convert pressure into power; she is a sponge. , because her ability to absorb experience and knowledge is also very strong, and her growth rate is extremely fast.

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

Li Mu's domestic flight landed perfectly on the runway of San Francisco Airport. The moment the tires of the plane touched the ground, Li Mu felt a solemn sense of responsibility in his heart.

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

Perhaps in the future, the day when I set foot in the United States for the first time will become a turning point in the development of the entire Huaxia Internet industry. This means that after imitating the American Internet for so long, Huaxia Internet will export to the American Internet market for the first time. More advanced Internet products and operating models.

The plane stopped, the bridge was docked, and the cabin door was opened. Li Mu, who was inexplicably excited, quickly got out of the plane with the rest of the team wearing a disposable medical mask.

When he got off the plane, Li Mu lost the leisure and elegance he had when he was on the plane. It was the first time he stood on American soil, and he didn't care about sighing, let alone pointing out the country in his heart. The group led all the passengers on the same plane. , go straight to customs.

This time, in order to ensure efficiency, Li Mu asked all the accompanying people to keep their luggage as simple as possible, and to carry all their luggage as much as possible without checking it in. In this way, the efficiency can be greatly improved. As for the daily necessities that everyone needs, Li Mu has already explained to Lin. Qingya arranges for it in advance. If you have any temporary needs, you can purchase locally anytime, anywhere. The retail market in the United States is highly developed and mature, and shopping is very convenient.

Lin Qingya took her assistant and the staff of Muye Technology to wait at the exit of the airport. Li Mu and others came out. Lin Qingya recognized Li Mu who was wearing a mask at the first time, and hurried forward, unable to hold back the excitement. He said, "Mr. Li, I've been waiting for you."

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

Lin Qingya smiled generously and said jokingly, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your compliment, but you said that I came to the United States not for work, but to dress up."

After speaking, Lin Qingya sighed and complained: "Mr. Li, you don't know, we are so busy in the United States during this time that we have doubts about our lives. I usually don't even have time to put on makeup. makeup."

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

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

The few people around smiled knowingly, and Lin Qingya hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, the convoy is waiting outside, let's get in the car first, and I'll introduce you to the situation here."
