Chapter 1051 Hug Harvard, Hug Mark Zuckerberg
YY has undoubtedly become an epoch-making super product, and its user growth rate in the United States and even around the world is terrifying.
Ordinary users are obsessed with YY, the elites worship YY, and practitioners feel flustered because of YY, but the most flustered are many capitals in the United States.
The venture capitalists in Silicon Valley and Wall Street who have discussed the first round of financing with Muye Technology have now regretted their bowels. Through the extremely rapid development of YY, they have finally fully seen the development potential of Muye Technology.
Not long ago, Li Mu also quoted Makino Technology with a price of 17 billion US dollars. Now, due to the surge of users, the valuation is also rising at the same time.
Until now, VCs have re-evaluated the valuation of Muye Technology. The result is that the current valuation of Muye Technology has been firmly on the level of 20 billion US dollars, and the super product has been born. .
The assessment director of Sequoia previously estimated that Muye Technology was more radical than the industry's estimate. They had already taken into account the explosive situation of YY, and comprehensively gave a maximum of 22 billion US dollars. Now, judging from the development of YY, 22 billion US dollars should be no problem.
Aware of the speed of light in the development of Makino Technology, Sequoia's board of directors made a decision: this time, Makino Technology cannot be missed no matter what, and Sequoia must fully learn the lessons of the previous failure, and definitely can't stay on price for too long.
The development of Muye Technology is so fast, and its valuation will increase very fast in the future. Sequoia finally understands from this. If there is a chance to invest in the C round of Muye Technology, then Sequoia is basically before the listing of Muye Technology. It’s the last financing, and it doesn’t matter even if you go in at a higher valuation at this time, because then you will definitely be able to get a greater return in the stock market! This is where the real concern is!
Therefore, Sequoia decided to change its mind and use the most sincere way to request a second financing negotiation with Li Mu.
However, when Sequoia decided to renegotiate with Li Mu at a valuation of $22 billion, it was told that Li Mu had already taken a plane to Cambridge, Massachusetts that day.
At this time, Li Mu was sitting on a flight to Boston, the capital of Massachusetts, and he couldn't contain the excitement.
Li Mu can't wait to go to Cambridge, hug Harvard, and hug Mark Zuckerberg!
Especially Mark Zuckerberg, Li Mu knows that it is too difficult and tiring to successfully operate a super product. He has deeply realized this through the operation of YY, so he must give his own The subordinates continue to recruit talents and recruit those super experts who can fully carry a super product and operate on a global scale.
Brother Liu is a super expert in the field of e-commerce, Master Lei is a super expert in the field of mobile phones and marketing, and Mark Zuckerberg can lead Facebook to become a super giant with a market value of more than 400 billion US dollars. The disk ability has almost been ranked among the top in the world.
It's because Mark Zuckerberg is so defiant, so Li Mu thought about taking him down at the beginning of his business, but he never thought that this kid would turn himself into the net, so this trip to Harvard. , Li Mu had already thought about it, no matter what, he should be brought under his command.
...
Li Mu's plane arrived in Boston at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the city of Cambridge, where Harvard is located, is next to Boston. After getting off the plane in Boston, it is half an hour's drive to Harvard University.
Li Mu originally planned to stay in a five-star hotel in Boston after the group arrived in Boston today, rest for a night, and go directly to Harvard University in the morning to meet with the school leaders, walk through the etiquette, and then give a speech at Harvard. Now, I can go back to Silicon Valley and wait to talk about financing, but because of my previous series of big moves against "Paradise Town" and YY, I am now not only attracting attention in the United States, but also in China.
For the domestic people, Li Mu is now more concerned than the Olympic athletes who went abroad to compete in the Olympics. It is also to win glory for the country, but Li Mu uses another method that the Chinese people have never witnessed before. .
The people of Huaxia are too eager to be recognized and respected by the world. However, purely from the perspective of enterprises, before Li Mu, there was no company in Huaxia that could make such a big influence in the American market, so every Chinese compatriot is in Always pay attention to Li Mu's every move in the United States.
This time, Li Mu was invited to give a speech at Harvard. CCTV knew in advance that relevant news had already been broadcast in China. Domestic audiences paid special attention to Li Mu's speech at Harvard. Discuss what Li Mu will tell the students at the top US universities at Harvard.
In fact, Li Mu is not the first Chinese entrepreneur to be invited to speak at Harvard. As early as the last century, Zhang Ruimin of Haier Group once gave a speech at Harvard University and boarded the forum of Harvard University. Moreover, according to the pace of history, if he There is no rebirth. Boss Ma should have been invited to give a speech at Harvard last year or this year. Regarding that speech, Li Mu has not seen the relevant video materials. He just saw Boss Ma in another speech video of Boss Ma. Tell yourself some witty stories from your Harvard speeches.
However, since he founded Taobao and shifted the rhythm of Aliba, Boss Ma's development path has undergone a huge change. He has not been able to get the opportunity to speak at Harvard, and I am afraid there will be no such thing in the future. Opportunity now.
When the plane landed, several Harvard administrators had been waiting at the airport with a young Mark Zuckerberg for a long time.
Young Mark Zuckerberg is both excited and nervous at the moment.
He was excited because he would be able to see his most admired idol, Li Mu, who was only less than two years older than him. Anyone who was about to face his biggest idol would be extremely excited.
As for the nervousness, it is entirely because of Mark Zuckerberg's guilty conscience.
At first, he deceived the school with the lie that his relatives were working in Muye Technology, and then took the invitation letter from the school to get Li Mu. If Li Mu comes, his lie may be exposed, and he still doesn't know what the school will do. dispose of yourself.
The staff at Harvard University were very excited at the moment. There is no doubt that Li Mu is now the target of the elites and capital in the United States. YY's influence in the United States is rapidly increasing. At this time, Li Mu's popularity can be imagined, but he is actually To agree to come to Harvard to give a speech at such a critical moment is a manifestation of the utmost respect for Harvard, so Harvard also attaches great importance to Li Mu's visit this time.
Among the Harvard administrators who picked up the plane, the highest-ranking person was David Allen, vice-chairman of the Harvard University Board of Regents. His actual status in Harvard's management ranks among the top three.
In addition to David Allen, there are several members of the school board of directors in the management of Harvard's peers. The Harvard school has considered it very carefully. They learned that Li Mu's major in Huaxia Renmin University is finance and finance. He himself is an entrepreneur worth tens of billions of dollars, so he devoted himself to it and arranged for the dean of Harvard Business School to come to pick him up.
For the Harvard Board of Directors, although Li Mu is an extremely rare young talent, he is by no means the one who needs to be actively courted and flattered. It is a kind of feedback for Li Mu's choice to visit Harvard at this time.
When the plane stopped at the covered bridge and Li Mu and his entourage came out together, the group from Harvard University recognized him immediately. The sign they prepared with the Chinese character "Li Mu" didn't even have time to use. Because of Li Mu's appearance, they were all too familiar with each other. Even if they hadn't met, they had indeed seen a lot of relevant video materials.
Li Mu also recognized a group of people from Harvard University at a glance, because he saw the nervous, yet immature Mark Zuckerberg.
David Allen was very excited and shook hands with Li Mu for a long time. On behalf of the Harvard Board of Directors and the committee, he welcomed him for a long time. Then he started to introduce the people who came to pick him up with him.
It was also the first time that Li Mu met the dean of Harvard Business School, the little white old man named Martin Goodman.
After introducing everyone, David Allen finally introduced the young Mark Zuckerberg to Li Mu, and David Allen didn't know at the moment that Mark Zuckerberg and Li Mu didn't say anything at all. At that level of relationship, he has no relatives working in Muye Technology at all. He thought that everything Mark Zuckerberg said before was 100% true, otherwise it would be impossible to exchange for a living Li Muzhan. in front of yourself.
David Allen patted Mark Zuckerberg on the shoulder, smiled and said to Li Mu: "This is Mark Zuckerberg who invited you on behalf of Harvard, he is Harvard's freshman this year, if not for him If you have relatives working in Muye Technology, I am afraid it will be difficult for Harvard to invite you to speak at our school for a while."
Li Mu was a little stunned for the first moment, looking at Mark Zuckerberg, the young man's expression was a little stiff at the moment, his face full of tension and anxiety.
Li Mu's mind was spinning fast, after a little thought, he guessed a general idea, so he put away his surprise, reached out his hand, and said to Mark Zuckerberg, "Thank you for your efforts, helping me and Harvard University. This bridge is built between them.”
Mark Zuckerberg's eyes instantly became wet at this moment. When David Allen said that, he was afraid that Li Mu would question him. In that case, he would be exposed immediately, but he did not expect that Li Mu would not only Instead of questioning, he took the initiative to shake hands with himself and thank himself. Although Li Mu knew that he had lied about this matter, he did not investigate or expose it at all, and even helped himself to convince himself of his lies. ...
Li Mu's generosity, which moved young Mark Zuckerberg's heart, couldn't be added...
