#1036 20 Billion May Not Be Able to Stop
Silicon Valley, Sequoia.
In the high-level meeting room, everyone had a bitter face.
The one who had just met Li Mu the other day was among them. Although he already had a bitter face, he had the most beautiful expression among the eight people present.
The other seven people, including the CEO, are all members of the board of directors, the highest level of the entire Sequoia.
A few days ago, when he came back from meeting Li Mu, the CEO sneered in this conference room and said, "Li Mu's desire to get a valuation of US$17 billion in Silicon Valley is simply a dream, absolutely impossible. Which VC gave him this offer!"
When asked about the CEO's plan, the CEO vowed: "Plan? I don't have any plans for the $17 billion Makino Technology! In fact, I don't think we need to do anything, just wait patiently. , Li Mu will definitely pinch his tail and beg us after he hits the wall everywhere!"
All the board members at that time agreed. They felt that since Sequoia has invested in so many companies and big companies, Makino Technology is really not in the first echelon. Since Li Mu is so arrogant, Sequoia will certainly not buy him. 's account.
However, everything changed so quickly.
The CEO stood in the conference room at this moment and said with a blushing face: "We have to renegotiate with Muye Technology as soon as possible! This time we must have full sincerity!"
After all, the CEO looked at it and said seriously: "Eric, you bring an offer of 17 billion US dollars to see Li Mu tomorrow, as long as he nods, the 1.7 billion US dollars will be immediately given to Muye Technology's account. If Li Mu wants to cash out personally, We agree with him to cash out up to 20%!"
It sounds like a very good offer, but I know very well that this was only established before today. Although I didn't understand Li Mu's metaphor about gambling stones that day, I didn't understand it very well at the time, but now combined with Li Mu's big move, he immediately Epiphany.
In fact, what Li Mu wanted to express that day, to put it bluntly, was nothing more than: "You Sequoia is indeed an expert, but you can't see the intrinsic value of my jade. Since you don't agree with my value, then I will open a fan. The skylight allows you to see a little more clearly, but after my skylight is opened, it shows such a perfect color, and the price will naturally go up.
So, stand up and seriously say to the CEO and other board members, "I don't think Li Mu will accept an offer of $17 billion. According to the current trend of this competition, Li Mu's psychological price will definitely increase significantly. ."
The CEO said: "You don't confuse the logic,
This competition was made by "Paradise Town", and "Paradise Town" belongs to Makino Games in terms of capital relations, and has nothing to do with Makino Technology. Even if Makino Technology can enjoy a little bonus, the dividend will not be too high. , we previously recognized the valuation of Makino Technology at US$16.5 billion, and now we add the dividends of Makino Games to him, and recognize his valuation of US$17 billion. The valuation has increased by US$500 million. It's already very generous! "
The CEO really felt that the valuation of Muye Technology increased by 500 million US dollars. This rate is already very high. If the valuation increase of 500 million US dollars, if Sequoia has negotiated a 10% stake, it will pay an additional 50 million US dollars. , $50 million is definitely a huge sum of money.
But he knew in his heart that, with Li Mu's pride and self-confidence, even if he pointed a gun at his head and forced him to agree to a valuation of 17 billion US dollars, he would definitely reply: "NO!"
So he opened his mouth and said, "Let me tell you a story that Li Mu told me the other day. The story is a bit long, and I can't remember it completely, but I still remember it in general."
Everyone looked at him, sorted out the language, and repeated Li Mu's story about gambling stones as much as possible.
When he finished speaking, the scene fell silent for a while.
In this way, the game of "Paradise Town" is actually a skylight that Li Mu opened for buyers. Once the skylight is opened, the price will skyrocket.
Seeing that everyone was silent, he opened his mouth and said: "Frankly, I think with Li Mu's character, if we take the initiative to find him again, the price must give him psychological expectations, otherwise, he will still not hesitate. reject us."
The CEO pursed his lips for a long time, and his heart was constantly beating. The CEO himself was a manager, and the other six board members in the conference room were the real boss.
The problem now is that I just took office and I have not made any great contributions during my tenure. This time, the deal that could have been made with 17 billion US dollars may be raised to 170 million due to my misjudgment. $1.5 billion or more, which is undoubtedly a manifestation of his own incompetence.
So, the CEO said: "We can re-set a price for Muye Technology, but when we talk, we still use 17 billion US dollars to talk. I think Sequoia's strength in capital operations and capital relations, It's what Li Mu desperately needs, someone like him should have a very strong view of the overall situation, and he should be able to reach a cooperation if he understands it."
Having said that, the CEO added: "If it doesn't work, we will take the initiative to increase the price and try to win it within the trump card price."
I sighed in my heart. This CEO is really not good. At this time, I still want to gamble on luck. Isn't this a fool's dream?
However, he still asked, "Then what is the price of our trump card this time?"
The CEO said almost subconsciously, "One hundred and eighty, oh no, $17.5 billion!"
He didn't dare to add too much, because there was a reference standard of 17 billion US dollars, and the more he added on this basis, the more he proved his lack of ability and wrong judgment.
This time, not only was he lamenting in his heart, but even the expressions of others were already a little weird. The elderly board member looked at him with obvious disappointment and dissatisfaction in his eyes.
The CEO himself realized that his quotation just now seemed too small, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "Let the evaluation team come in and do a quick evaluation."
Although the CEO was suddenly imprisoned because of his personal reasons to find steps for himself, Sequoia's extremely professional evaluation team was not affected.
In the conference room, they immediately conducted a quick evaluation based on the possible social influence of the "Paradise Town Cup - The Highest Ranking of School Flowers in the United States" and the performance improvement brought by Muye Games and Muye Technology. Everyone was speechless.
The chief director in charge of the financing evaluation announced the results to everyone solemnly: "We believe that under the premise of fully considering the impact of this competition, the conservative valuation of Makino Technology will exceed 19 billion US dollars. , there is a high probability that the valuation will exceed $20 billion or more.”
The CEO was going crazy at first, and blurted out, "Why so high?"
The evaluation director said very responsibly: "We must fully consider the product model of Makino Technology, its core product is YY, although from a capital perspective, YY and "Paradise Town" have no actual capital relationship, but from a technical perspective At the level of operation and operation, they have always been two products that are deeply bundled. These two products are common at the user data level. The users of "Paradise Town" have begun to blow out, and they will inevitably continue to grow in the future. And all the users of "Paradise Town" are potential users of YY, and YY can even share the data in the background, so that users of "Paradise Town" can register YY with one click, and completely transplant him in "Paradise Town" on YY. All the connections on "."
"Combining with the current level of YY's leadership in product functions, our evaluation team can basically reach a consensus: At present, the vast majority of MSN and ICQ users in the United States have not replaced YY for two reasons. I don't know about YY software; second, I know but because it is troublesome to migrate people, so I continue to use other products, but once these users start to enter "Paradise Town", and they migrate happily and accumulate lines in the process of the game If you get on the network, then the chances of this batch of users giving up the original product and choosing YY will greatly increase, and we can even say responsibly that 80% of the users of "Paradise Town" will become YY user."
Speaking of which, the evaluation director was extremely surprised when he saw everyone, and said very seriously: "The predecessor of "Paradise Town" once helped YY beat an instant messaging software in China with a market share of over 90%, and the winning The speed is overnight, so the more popular "Paradise Town" is, the brighter the prospect of YY will be. With the influence of the current "Paradise Town Cup - the highest ranking list of school flowers in the United States", YY's full bloom in the US market is just around the corner. , so the valuation of 19 billion US dollars is not high, even very, very conservative.”
"Everyone knows how high YY's payment ratio is among the American elites. If it can also have a good payment ratio among other American user groups, then YY's turnover will definitely be greatly improved. By then , the flow of water, traffic, prospects, influence and many other advantages are working together, and the valuation of 20 billion US dollars may not be able to stop it. If I were to evaluate it completely objectively, I think as long as Li Mu can make this game a success Ultimately, the valuation of Muye Technology is at least more than 22 billion US dollars..."
Hearing this, everyone in the room couldn't help but feel dizzy. They have done a lot of big business, but it is the first time that the price has risen so fast, and the heart is not good enough...
Previously, I thought that Li Mu had drilled a water well, but now I know that they had drilled an oil well...
The most important thing is that before the well did not produce oil, I had the opportunity to participate in one, but after hesitating, the well that others dug began to spray oil, and it was the kind of mad spray, which was very difficult for the people in the conference room. For everyone, this is a kind of dog mood.
The CEO's heart thumped, only to feel that a heart was broken like a broken glass.
As heartbroken as he is, there is the young, shy and laughing engineering man on Harvard campus, Mark Zuckerberg...
