Chapter 1056 Take the Opportunity to Promote

Although Li Mu is full of respect and awe for the Internet industry, it does not mean that he has any fear of the current industry leaders.

This is true for Yahoo, it is true for Google, it is true for Microsoft and Apple.

In today's Internet field, the product capabilities of Muye Technology are unparalleled, and YY is a nail to wedge itself into the American market. Now that YY is rapidly sweeping users across the United States, Li Mu can already tell all similar products in advance. Bye-Bye.

In Li Mu's view, YY's success is unstoppable. If you give yourself another month, the daily active users of similar competing products such as MSN and ICQ will plummet by at least 80%, and the vast majority of users will move closer to YY and gradually abandon other similar products. Competing products, in this case, what Li Mu has to consider is how much he can do in the US market around the indestructible YY ecosystem, and he is not worried that any industry boss can damage the foundation of YY.

Under such circumstances, how could Li Mu bear the anger of a Yahoo reporter?

I don't care if you are purely personal, or you secretly represent the entire Yahoo's attitude towards Muye Technology. Since you are pretending to force me in front of the world's media, don't blame me for being a little reporter with you.

What's more, Li Mu has already realized that the Yahoo reporter who hit his gun today has brought him an excellent opportunity for publicity. How could he let such a good thing go.

Li Mu is well aware of the preferences of media people. No matter what industry or group, news such as tearing and coercion attracts the most attention of the media and touches the excitement of the media the most. Therefore, it is for Li Mu to directly attack Yahoo reporters. , is an excellent promotion opportunity delivered to your door.

So, for the first time, Li Mu lost his demeanor and got into a fight with an ordinary reporter.

In Li Mu's words, the smell of gunpowder has been completely undisguised. First of all, it conveyed a tone of absolute contempt for Yahoo: Even if Yahoo is the first in the industry, it is impossible to influence me; secondly, what Li Mu said later It's very clear that you can't influence me, but I can influence you. Yahoo's two business segments with the largest number of users are portals and mailboxes. It just so happens that these two directions are the first echelon of the YY ecosystem.

Because of being confronted by Yahoo's reporters, Li Mu announced in front of the world's media that Muye Technology would increase the development of its portal and mailbox businesses, which shocked all the other media in the audience.

The young man is really arrogant. If he yells at him, he can't wait to adjust the strategy of the entire army to fight back. It seems like a big fuss, but the careful thought behind it is also terrifying.

For the US market, YY is an instant messaging software that cuts in from "tools".

Therefore, the elite groups who used it as a tool already have a very in-depth understanding of the overall function of YY. Many elite groups who use YY to improve office efficiency have changed their frequently used mailboxes to YY mailboxes, or use the YY mailbox function to send and receive on behalf of others. Yu YY itself also integrates a Fail function.

However, for ordinary users, they entered YY because of "Paradise Town", so they used YY as an instant messaging product as soon as they came up. The function of group video has attracted great attention from ordinary users, but the business-oriented function of YY mailbox is somewhat weakened for them. Li Mu did not plan to introduce mailbox products to ordinary users at this time, but now is just an opportunity.

After angering the Yahoo reporter, this episode will definitely be regarded as a big news by the media to make a big fuss, especially in order to retaliate against a small reporter, he directly announced the adjustment of the strategic plan of Muye Technology, and accelerated the promotion of YY.com and YY mailbox. , Online rhythm, as long as this news is exposed, it will inevitably increase the overall exposure of YY, YY.com, and YY mailbox, and there will be so many media competing to report at that time. It is definitely a good opportunity that money can't buy.

On the other hand, the reporter from Yahoo at this time was full of pain like a dog in the sun.

He didn't expect that, relying on Yahoo's industry first advantage, he mocked Li Mu for a few words and shook his wit, and he was so directly returned by Li Mu. The most important thing is that Li Mu even sublimated his witty things infinitely. To directly adjust the company's strategy, which can frighten him.

Although he is only a reporter, he was born in Yahoo after all and has a very deep understanding of the industry. He knows that what Li Mu said is not wrong at all. Although Muye Technology is many grades weaker than Yahoo in terms of market value, the business of Muye Technology , The barrier of the product line is high and strong, which is unprecedented in the entire industry. Therefore, Muye Technology has always been an attacker in the industry, not a defender. Yahoo cannot help Muye Technology at any level.

But Muye Technology is different. Muye Technology has more or less threats to any Internet company in the world. His instant messaging software not only dealt a huge blow to similar competing products, but also threatened all Internet products.

In particular, an Internet company like Yahoo, which has not laid a solid foundation in the field of strong demand, is like building a tower on the sand. It is difficult to resist this kind of impact. Even if Li Mu is not strong enough to completely defeat Yahoo, the interference he brings is enough to bring a huge blow to Yahoo.

When he wanted to understand this, the reporter was naturally very frightened. He came back to his senses and wanted to say something to make up for it. Li Mu had already instructed the staff to take away his microphone and hand it over to the next one.

Seeing the catastrophe, the reporter's expression was extremely depressed. It was not a wise choice to confront Li Mu at the press conference. It might bring him some fame, but the price of losing was too great. If everything Li Mu said is fulfilled, then his foolish actions will bring Yahoo a formidable enemy and an unimaginable impact on Yahoo's business.

Because of his cheap mouth, he caused so much trouble for the company. Basically, he could not escape the fate of being killed by Yahoo. What he has done today may soon become notorious, and it will be difficult for him to do it again. Any company would dare to hire him as an employee.

Seeing that the reporter was taken away from the microphone, Li Mu actually sat on the seat and cried sadly, sneered in his heart, and simply turned his eyes to the side.

...

Before the press conference was over, the news of Li Mu's confrontation with Yahoo reporters at the press conference had already been sent out through the reporters present.

Although the headlines used by major media are not the same, the core points expressed in the headlines are highly consistent: Yahoo reporters slapped Li Mu in the face, and then Li Mu announced that he would compete with Yahoo in advance in the portal and e-mail market.

The American media still has professional ethics. They did not deliberately conceal part of the incident at the scene. Instead, they reported the cause and effect. For a time, public opinion on the Internet in the United States continued to support Li Mu.

The values ​​of American society have more obvious likes and dislikes for good and evil than China. This can be seen from the various superhero cartoons popular in the United States, and the laws of the United States, to a certain extent, highly support the defense of the victimized party. and counterattack, so when Li Mu faced the confrontation with Yahoo reporters, he immediately turned back in anger, which was completely in line with American values, and was enough to make every American applaud.

What's more interesting is that no one thinks there is anything wrong with Li Mu's approach to the company level. On the contrary, everyone thinks that the Yahoo reporter is a typical example of not dying, even if he works for a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars. Yahoo, but he himself is many levels lower than Li Mu, who is worth tens of billions of dollars, so even if he does not show due respect to Li Mu, he must not rely on the reputation and status of the company to ridicule Li Mu and Muye Technology. , so in the eyes of the public, Li Mu should show him a little color and teach him a lesson.

At the same time, Li Mu, a domineering CEO who is not used to the other party's problems at all, has made him countless fans in the United States at once. There are few CEOs as young as him. The key is that this CEO is so domineering, which is really suitable Appetite of young people.

When this news was hotly pushed, all the news that Li Mu wanted to convey was quickly released by the media.

When Yahoo's executives heard the news, their lungs almost exploded.

Although they have regarded Muye Technology and YY as potential opponents, they have always felt that Li Mu's current focus should be on YY, and he certainly has no time to compete with Yahoo for the time being.

But they never dreamed that a reporter affiliated with Yahoo Portal would take the initiative to provoke Li Mu, so that Li Mu publicly stated that he wanted to compete with Yahoo on the mailbox and portal website. This is completely bad news for Yahoo. They are not worried about how much impact YY's English portal will bring to Yahoo. What they are most worried about is the YY mailbox that is so powerful in the eyes of industry insiders!

YY Mail itself is indeed the best mailbox service in the world. At the same time, because of the built-in perfect sending and receiving function, users can use the various functions of YY Mail without giving up the original mailbox account, especially the online preview function. , this approach makes the product more inclusive.

What's more, YY itself is sweeping the whole network, and if YY users use YY mailbox, the convenience will be more impeccable, so once YY vigorously promotes its excellent mailbox service, it is certain that a considerable number of other mailboxes Users will switch to YY's arms, and some users will choose YY's sending and receiving services even if they do not give up their original mailbox accounts. In this way, YY mailbox will inevitably rise rapidly in the future, and it will definitely bring huge benefits to Yahoo Mail. impact.
