Chapter 1029 Make the Whole Silicon Valley Nervous

The branch of Muye Technology in Silicon Valley is located in the hinterland of Silicon Valley, which is the most prosperous central area of ​​Silicon Valley. Lin Qingya decided to rent a three-story single-family villa with a total area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters in a small park here. The property, on the nameplate at the door, Li Mu saw four striking Chinese characters "Makino Technology". At the bottom of the Chinese characters, it is English technology.

Li Mu came along and saw many well-known companies, but Muye Technology was the only company with Chinese characters in the company name.

Lin Qingya saw Li Mu staring at the nameplate of the company outside the door and could not help but stepped forward and said, "Mr. Li, we are the only domestic Internet company officially listed in Silicon Valley. Other companies also have offices in Silicon Valley, but they are all hidden in various places. Among the small units of the incubator, the largest is no more than 100 square meters."

Li Mu nodded, pointed to the four words of Muye Technology and smiled slightly: "This is the first Chinese company that has actually landed in Silicon Valley."

Lin Qingya smiled and said, "Yes, the first in the true sense."

After speaking, Lin Qingya whispered, "Let's go in quickly, many employees are waiting."

According to Lin Qingya's introduction, the total number of employees working in the United States has exceeded 300. Except for the two batches from China, with a total of more than 110 people, the others have been working in the United States during this period of time. America is hiring.

Among the 200 new employees, most of them are ground promoters affiliated with "Paradise Town". There are too many universities in the United States, so the demand for personnel in the promotion team is very large. The new batch of employees are all full-time employees who have officially signed a contract. , In addition, there is a part-time team of more than 1,000 people under the promotion team of "Paradise Town".

However, because the promotion team of "Paradise Town" is currently carrying out promotion work in major universities in the United States, the number of employees working in Silicon Valley is not large. There are about 100 people in total, of which there are about 40 old employees from China. People, the remaining 60 people are all new employees recruited in Silicon Valley, and basically all of them are technical.

Among the 60 new recruits, Chinese and ethnic Chinese account for more than half. This is also due to the extraordinary influence of Muye Technology in the Chinese field. Many Chinese and Chinese who are engaged in Internet work overseas have a great impression of Muye Technology. , and is eager to join Muye Technology and become a member of Muye Technology.

Li Mu himself has asked Lin Qingya to take the lead a few months ago to start the return of expatriate talents. For so long, Muye Technology has returned more than 100 high-end technologies from developed Western countries, especially the United States, to Muye Technology and even the entire Chinese Internet industry. talent.

However, there are still a large number of overseas talents who have settled in the United States and obtained American citizenship. For this group of people, it is somewhat difficult for them to give up their life abroad and return to China.

So they can't go to Huaxia to join Muye Technology, but now, Muye Technology has its own overseas branch in Silicon Valley, and they can work for Muye Technology at their doorstep, which is a natural opportunity for them Unbelievable good things.

Lin Qingya said to Li Mu: "Most of the overseas employees newly recruited by the company admire you very much, and are very much looking forward to seeing you in person, so they are all looking forward to seeing you in the company. Well, if we meet later, it is estimated that they will be a little fanatical, you should prepare in advance."

Li Mu joked, "I'm under a lot of pressure when you say that. It's like meeting with fans."

Lin Qingya said with a smile: "You have a very large influence in the local Chinese circle. It is said that you are the most honorable person in Silicon Valley, so it is only natural that everyone will admire you."

Lin Qingya was right.

At this moment, more than 100 people in the company were already eager to see what they saw. Li Mu and Lin Qingya walked into the company gate together. There were people standing on both sides of the door, cheering and greeting Li Mu, while shouting: "Li Mu Always good."

Li Mu looked around and saw a lot of familiar faces, as well as a lot of unfamiliar faces, but he always had a humble smile, nodding and saying hello to everyone. Someone came up to ask for a handshake, and Li Mu also refused to come. , while shaking hands, while saying to each other in Chinese that it was hard work.

For these old Muye Technology employees who flew from Huaxia, Li Mu and the others were equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the Group Army visiting the frontline to condolences to the soldiers. Naturally, there is no need to say more about the morale.

For those Chinese and Chinese employees who have just joined Muye Technology, Li Mu is the legendary figure they admire, so they are naturally very excited when this legendary figure suddenly appears in front of them.

In addition, there were also a group of coalition forces from various countries and races in the world. Although these people were not as fanatical as the first two, they were still full of respect and curiosity towards Li Mu, a billionaire in his early twenties.

Silicon Valley is so big that it can accommodate many Fortune 500 high-tech companies, as well as countless small and medium-sized enterprises and start-up companies; but Silicon Valley also has basically no secrets. Everyone in Silicon Valley is like a The vendors selling computer hardware in Zhongguancun know the entire mall like the back of their hand, and are particularly sensitive to every move in the entire Silicon Valley.

Li Mugang arrived at the Silicon Valley branch of Muye Technology for less than half an hour, and the whole Silicon Valley knew the news.

Li Mu is here!

When YY was in the limelight and "Town of Paradise" was like a plague infecting the entire American colleges and universities, Li Mu came.

Li Mu came to Silicon Valley at this time. For people in the Internet industry in the United States, there may be several possible meanings behind it. It may be the signal of Muye Technology’s general attack on the American market; it may also be the prelude to the C round of financing of Muye Technology; Both.

For a time, the entire Silicon Valley became nervous because of the news of Li Mu's arrival.

Peer companies are beginning to worry that Li Mu will bring the unimaginable expansion speed of Muye Technology to the United States. After all, no one wants their peers around them to become stronger, let alone suddenly having a strong peer around them, especially Muye Technology. Instant messaging and online social networking business.

It would be better if there was one more company like Cisco and Intel. In addition to Cisco and Intel themselves, other Internet companies are looking forward to such a competitive situation. The fight of hardware companies can not only reduce hardware prices, but also promote Hardware development, if Intel has more competitors, then the price of computer CPU will continue to increase, and the speed of replacement will also increase. In that case, the overall price of hardware will drop, and the entire industry will enjoy dividends.

However, Muye Technology is different. Companies like Muye Technology are aimed at online social networking and instant messaging, which is a strong demand area for users. The occupation of users, traffic and online time is like a whale, and Muye Technology has a lot to do. With this strong demand for horizontal development, if it is enlarged, almost all Internet companies will be affected. Muye Technology is like a wildly expanding alien invasive species, constantly encroaching on the living space and nutrients of other Internet companies.

Sequoia Capital, which is only three blocks away from the Silicon Valley branch of Muye Technology, has also received the news that Li Mu has arrived in Silicon Valley at this time, which makes the entire Sequoia Capital nervous for a while.

Muye Technology's C round of financing has been delayed again and again. Although Muye Technology has always been in love with Sequoia Capital, it is like a beautiful woman who is good at playing with men. It is always elusive and anxious.

I had talked with Sequoia Huaxia Branch several times in Huaxia before, but Makino Technology is different from all companies that have financed, because Makino Technology has never shown an urgent need for money.

Muye Technology itself wants to raise the C round, but they seem to have no shortage of money at all, so they don't care about the progress and efficiency of the C round of financing.

Behind this "don't care" attitude, Makino Technology is constantly breaking out various new actions, not only its own products are constantly improving beyond imagination, but also touches the online payment business in the United States, successfully "borrowing" "eBay's money has been invested in PayPal, and the valuation is almost rocketing up, and the speed of the rush has made all capital nervous.

Now, everyone knows that Muye Technology is a super fast car that makes money; everyone also knows that Muye Technology now needs a lot of financial support to open the "global model"; they also know that Muye Technology can easily be listed on Nasdaq, but it still lacks A round of financing and the promotion of the operation of domestic capital in the United States, so considering these points, the capital in the United States is very clear that Li Mu will definitely finalize financing in the near future, and the financing will definitely find American capital, because Li Mu's "global model" is in the United States. Getting started requires a strong native American ally.

According to Sequoia's understanding, at present, the investment banking capital that can be called by name in the United States and can spend more than one billion US dollars basically has a strong interest in Makino Technology. First reach a capital cooperation with Muye Technology, and when Muye Technology is listed, the investment can be doubled immediately. If you hold the shares of Muye Technology for a long time, then the scale of funds that can be leveraged by these billions of dollars is astonishingly large.

Sequoia originally thought that she was the most inclined partner of Muye Technology, but unexpectedly, Li Mu did not say hello to them when he came to the United States. If Li Mu really wants to meet Sequoia, he should at least inform Sequoia himself in advance. , and then make an approximate meeting time with the senior management of Sequoia.

But now it seems that Li Mu has no inclination at all, his only inclination is the one with the higher bid.

The harsh reality made Sequoia's executives feel a huge pressure all of a sudden. If Li Mu had no inclination towards Sequoia, then if Sequoia wanted to invest in Muye Technology, he would have to liaise with SoftBank, Goldman Sachs and others in the next period of time. Home VC fights melee!
