Chapter 1028 I Want to Make Big News

Li Mu and the others followed Lin Qingya out of the airport. There was already a high-spec convoy waiting outside. The first were several large Cadillac SUVs, followed by two Cadillac stretched limousines, which looked no different from Air Force One. , In the back of the team, there are several SUVs in the lineup, which seem to be very imposing.

Li Mu and Lin Qingya got into a limousine together. The backseat space in the car was full of luxury. Lin Qingya gently pressed a button on the armrest, and the window connected to the cab in front of them immediately lifted up. A thick pane of glass was raised, and the curtains were lowered.

Seeing Li Mu's surprise, Lin Qingya smiled and said, "I just discovered it on the way here. If you come to the United States frequently in the future, our American branch will buy one more."

Li Mu said with a smile: "One is not interesting, this team is quite pompous, why don't you just follow this specification, or get a team a little higher than this specification."

Lin Qingya said: "Mr. Li, the team we rented is already an official team, except that there are no police cars to clear the way, and the vehicle allocation is no different from the national team. If such a team is really built, will it be too exaggerated? point?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "We naturally have to keep a low profile in China, that is at our own doorstep, no matter how well we develop, we must be humble enough at our own doorstep, but in the United States it is different, we are at the door of others. , and it not only represents ourselves, but also the business card of the entire Huaxia Internet company, the old beauty is watching us, and the domestic folks are also watching us, so at this time, it is appropriate to raise a high profile."

Lin Qingya smiled and said: "Then you said earlier, wouldn't it be more high-profile if I brought dozens or hundreds of media to pick up the plane today?"

Li Mu waved his hand: "This time is quite special. The reason why neither side has arranged media or publicity is that I deliberately want to keep a low profile. When I come to the United States, there is no need to make a lot of fanfare as soon as I arrive there. Let's keep a low profile before our strength, what I want is to make big news."

Lin Qingya nodded and said, "Mr. Li, the big news you are talking about is to announce the amount of our financing to the public after the financing is won?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "If you want others to know how rich you are, it's not enough to buy luxury cars and villas. You have to be on the rich list to let people know how much you are worth."

Lin Qingya thinks what Li Mu said is very reasonable. Although Muye Technology has a certain influence in the United States now, not everyone in the United States understands the Internet industry, and not everyone understands finance, so they do not have any understanding of Muye Technology. Clear judgment concept.

The only concept that can be accurately grasped by ordinary people is to use money to measure.

It's pointless to tell them how powerful a company is, how many users the product has, how sticky the users are, etc. It's better to tell them directly how much the company is worth.

Li Mu was deeply aware of this.

In the last life, before Aliba was listed, the public had no concept of how powerful Aliba was. They only knew about his Taobao and Tmall, but how much it was worth, ordinary people did not know.

Aliba has truly become an Internet company sought after by the whole Chinese people, and the good teacher Ma Boss has really stepped on the world stage and released his coercive skills on a global scale. of.

more than $200 billion,

More than 1 trillion RMB. Once this data was released, the people truly realized how strong the company was.

Li Mu said again at this time: "Qingya, I came prepared this time, and the missile launchers at home were all erected. Once I start to sit down with the capital to discuss, I will definitely fight a big battle with them. I need you to cooperate with me when it comes to building momentum. When I sat down with the Sequoia people to talk, it was the beginning of our high profile in the United States. Once the negotiations begin, your task is to make the United States and even the whole world pay attention to this. negotiation.”

Lin Qingya immediately said, "Mr. Li, don't worry, I will definitely cooperate with you."

Li Mu smiled slightly, nodded with satisfaction, and then brought the topic back to the team, saying: "Actually speaking, there are still many uses for the team, and we have become a bridgehead in the United States, except for the real national leaders. In addition, if leaders from all over the country come to the United States to work, inspect or participate in any conference, the US government will not provide any fleet services, but if the fleet of our Makino Technology US branch is in San Francisco, then in principle, any future travel to San Francisco The leaders of Makino can use the team of Makino Technology for free as long as they need it.”

Having said that, Li Mu added: "Although the pomp of the team is a bit big, we are open and transparent in everything, which is naturally reasonable and legal, and domestic public opinion will definitely guide public opinion from the perspective of support and appreciation, and it will not bring any negative. influences."

Lin Qingya said: "I understand President Li, I will arrange the team's affairs in the near future."

Li Mu said: "By the way, you can help me make an appointment with Microsoft's Bill Gates, Apple's Steve Jobs, Google's Larry Page, and say that I personally admire them very much and hope to have the opportunity to meet them. Let's meet and talk, and it would be better if we can have dinner together."

Lin Qingya said in surprise: "Mr. Li, with your current worth and the current influence of Muye Technology, isn't the use of the word 'admiration' a bit too much?"

Li Mu waved his hand and said with a serious face: "It's nothing at all, these are all masters in the Internet industry, and they have made great contributions to the entire Internet industry, let alone admiration and worship, just follow what I said. It's enough to convey it like this, if they are all interested, just look at their schedule first, and I will accommodate them."

"Okay." Lin Qingya nodded, and then said: "By the way, Elon Musk contacted me yesterday and asked me if you were coming to the United States. I didn't reply him clearly. He told me that if you If he comes, let me tell you, he really wants to take time to visit you."

Saying that, Lin Qingya smiled and said, "His speech about wanting to see you sounds similar to what you just said about wanting to meet the other three people. It seems that Elon Musk should admire you very much..."

Li Mu said with a smile, "This person is a bit interesting. Maybe in the future, he will find a new way and do something earth-shattering. You don't need to reply to him, just give me his contact information, and I will contact him."

Li Mu is not very interested in new energy vehicles, but he has to admit that Elon Musk himself is a very interesting boss. Such a person may not be very bright at the moment, but once his era comes, he will definitely will shine brightly.

However, when he thought that Elon Musk, who was sought after by countless people in his previous life, is now waiting for him to come to the United States with admiration, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

Li Mu can guess that Elon Musk is in the spring right now. When he sold PayPal, he wanted to borrow Li Mu to raise the price with eBay, but he didn't expect to fall into the hole that Li Mu dug for him. As a result, PayPal is now being sold by eBay and Muye Technology. Jointly holding shares. In the following period of time, the market value of PayPal has been rising sharply. Elon Musk must have been grateful for his decision more than once in his heart. Otherwise, he would have to sell PayPal. A great situation to lie down and make money.

Although Elon Musk really wanted to meet Li Mu, Li Mu didn't put his priority too high at the moment. He was not only behind the capital side, but even behind the big names in the industry he wanted to meet. Li Mu There is no in-depth plan for Elon Musk now, and it is not the time to engage in Tesla; Li Mu is not very interested in aerospace technology, so for him, Elon Musk at this stage is best to be able to step on paypal Work hard and work hard, work hard for a few years, and then make PayPal a big company with tens of billions of dollars. At that time, if he wants to start Tesla, he will first invest 30% to 50% of his shares.

...

The motorcade marched to Silicon Valley, and Li Mu began to cheer like a child.

Silicon Valley is like a holy place for every practitioner in the Internet and electronics industry. Zhongguancun has always been quite sacred in Li Mu's heart, but compared with Silicon Valley, the latter is Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the former is at most Guanyin Bodhisattva. The loose money boy around him is not in the same heavyweight class at all.

Sitting in the car, looking at all kinds of corporate logos on the streets along the way, and even many of them are aircraft carrier-type companies that are quite powerful in later generations, Li Mu's heart is even more excited.

Once upon a time, I dreamed of being a part of this place and contributing to the development of the Internet industry. Unexpectedly, I have already opened a branch here. Well-known companies here are: Apple, Google, IBM, Oracle, Among the leading companies such as Intel, NVIDIA, Cisco, etc., Li Mu believes that in the near future, Makino Technology can also become a top first-tier enterprise here.

The convoy slowly drove into the core area of ​​the Silicon Valley hinterland, where it stopped in front of a star-rated hotel, and everyone got off the bus and prepared to check in.

Originally, Lin Qingya planned to take Li Mu and her group to Silicon Valley first, and after checking in at the hotel she had reserved in Silicon Valley, everyone would take a good rest, and then arrange a meeting at the hotel at noon to bring Makino, who is currently in the United States, to a meeting. The technical staff also called over to pick up the wind and dust for Li Mu and his party, and then went to Muye Technology's new company in Silicon Valley together in the afternoon.

But after arriving at the hotel, Li Mu found that everyone was in a good state of mind. Almost all the eleven people who came with him slept all the way, and the plane arrived when they woke up, so they were not sleepy at all, and they had just arrived. In the United States, everyone is still a little excited. At this time, let alone sleep, there is no idea of ​​hitting Hache.

So, after a brief communication, Li Mu decided to let Lin Qingya take everyone to the Silicon Valley branch of Muye Technology first. He was like a proud king, waiting impatiently to inspect his territory.
