Chapter 1081 If You Are Not Sealed, Then You Will Be Sealed?

YY's complete cessation of support for Yahoo Mail was Li Mu's first shot against international giants.

Although YY had already destroyed the user bases of MSN and ICQ, it was not a head-to-head battle. Li Mu just made his products better and allowed users to choose freely, but this time, he decided to take this opportunity , while showing the muscles to the Internet industry, let the capital realize the huge influence of YY on the entire Internet industry now.

YY blocked the Yahoo Mail interface, causing Yahoo Mail users to plummet, which was beyond the expectations of all Internet industry practitioners.

Then they reacted later, Li Mu's "old friend" who had never met, his Silicon Valley die-hard fan, and the editor-in-chief of "-Valley-Magazine" published an article on his personal blog about the depth of his popularity in the Internet industry. Analysis, in this analysis, he first proposed a brand-new Internet concept: centralization!

It is said that the strong influence of YY proves that the Internet has entered a stage of centralized development, and user needs will be highly concentrated on a single platform, and the object of this high concentration is YY.

YY is a super product in the true sense. It not only covers instant messaging, social networking, but also audio and video chat, file interaction, e-mail, personal blog, cartoon show, game hall and other multiple functions in one. , YY also has its own navigation website and portal website, and its traffic has also ranked first in the domestic portal. Now, it has begun to prepare its English website again.

This also means that while other companies' products are still developing vertically in a single field, YY has expanded its tentacles to the entire Internet.

I feel that in the future, everyone is likely to use YY to chat, use YY to work, use YY to browse and consult, use YY to record their life, and play YY games at the same time. In this way, YY has become a highly concentrated product that integrates all aspects of users. Demands converge on itself, and eventually it turns itself into a central product that solves various needs of users, and even becomes the online behavior center of global netizens.

He also believes that the future Internet must require a super-centralized product like YY, which will fundamentally reduce the cost of various behaviors of users and allow users to obtain maximum convenience.

The concept of centralization has been recognized by the entire industry at once, and has become a hot topic in the Internet industry.

Li Mu also saw the article and was immediately interested in this person.

I have written a lot of articles about Li Mu and Muye Technology, but Li Mu has never had the idea to meet him, but today, when he saw the first concept of centralization, he realized that this person has a deep understanding of the Internet, Enough to amaze yourself.

It is truly extraordinary to be able to see the signs of centralization before it arrives.

The Internet industry is also an industry where the wind direction changes frequently. After people have had enough of centralization, they have gradually cultivated a new thinking mode of decentralization. These are basically not what individuals can see, but the whole industry in a certain It was created by the turn of a small-scale group at a stage, so in this case, it is really awesome to be able to see the clues and organize them into their own set of theories with individual eyes.

So Li Mu gave Lin Qingya a task to invite someone who was also in Silicon Valley to Muye Technology, and he wanted to see him.

Said to meet him, but in fact he wanted to bring him under his command.

Li Mu even thought about what kind of position to give this person. He wanted to set up a strategic research office for him, and let him, as a think tank, bring a bunch of think tanks to conduct the most detailed analysis of the company's future major strategies. Form your own comprehensive supplement.

Li Mu has countless Internet innovation models in his mind, but not all of them are suitable for operation in this era, and even if they are taken out, they are not necessarily 100% successful. Most of Li Mu's experience comes from "participation" in his previous life. A small part of the experience comes from "leadership and actual combat" in this life. Now, what I really lack is the fit between the research innovation model and the current Internet pattern. If there is such a think tank that has a very thorough understanding of the current Internet pattern, I am afraid that I can truly be invincible all over the world.

More importantly, Li Mu also needs the company to have a strong error correction mechanism. Now, whether it is Muye Technology or Taobao.com, they are basically moving forward in full accordance with their own strategic planning. The company is now in a state of "one word", what it says is what it says, and no one objects.

However, this kind of objection is basically not because no one dares to object, but because the entire company has an extremely blind worship and trust in Li Mu. When Li Mu said that going east, everyone would rush to the east with all their might, and would not raise any doubts at all. .

In this state, if Li Mu makes no mistakes, he can obtain the highest efficiency and the strongest combat effectiveness, just like the German Empire without two fronts. However, once Li Mu's judgment is wrong, then the whole system will be rushed without hesitation. Go in the wrong direction and leave no room at all. In that case, once the strategic judgment is wrong, the loss will not be a war, but an empire.

Therefore, Li Mu needs an error correction mechanism with independent thinking ability. This error correction mechanism can provide more help when he is right; And the whole company stopped.

If there was an error correction mechanism around Hitler that could change his strategic judgment, the pattern of the entire world would probably undergo earth-shaking changes.

After receiving Lin Qingya's invitation, he readily agreed, and just before Li Mu and the agreed meeting time, Yahoo's executives came to Muye Technology in person.

The blockade of YY across the board caused the user activity of Yahoo Mail to suffer an immediate collapse. Yahoo executives took the initiative to come to the door in order to eliminate misunderstandings and lift the blockade of YY.

When Yahoo executives tried to make peace with Muye Technology immediately with full apology, Li Mu was in the conference room, personally negotiating with Sequoia people on the final valuation of Muye Technology's C round of financing.

If it wasn't for Sequoia's $30 billion offer that made Li Mu feel the sincerity, he would not come out to negotiate with Sequoia in person. He is not most Internet practitioners. The father in here, the father who can make a lot of money with capital, even if Li Mu pretends to force in front of Sequoia, the last result is that he can't get Sequoia's money, that's all, but Sequoia didn't dare to pretend to be forceful with Li Mu, Because once you pretend to be big, maybe this big business that can make billions or even tens of billions of dollars in a few years will be handed over to others.

Who can't get along with money?

Yahoo's executives saw that Muye Technology did not give any reply, and even went to the office of Muye Technology in Silicon Valley, hoping to meet with Li Mu to clear up the misunderstanding, even if they repeatedly explained that the words and deeds of the Yahoo website reporter were just his personal remarks, Muye Technology still doesn't buy it.

However, the way that Muye Technology did not buy it made Yahoo very painful. After seeing the vice president who came to the door, Lin Qingya said lightly: "I'm sorry, our mailbox is for Yahoo's mailbox's crawling interface. If there is a problem, I am urging my colleagues in the technical department to step up and solve it, and I believe it will not be long before it can return to normal."

Yahoo's vice president is crazy, you think I'm stupid, you obviously blocked the interface on purpose, and now tell me that there is a problem with the interface? Who doesn't know that you are taking revenge on Yahoo?

However, depression is depressed, but it can't happen.

It’s like asking a friend to borrow money. The friend obviously has it, but if the funds have been in trouble recently, what can I do? You can't take people to the bank to check accounts, right? At this time, be smart, nod your head, say something polite, and leave.

But Yahoo can't. The current Internet field, especially YY, is gradually realizing the so-called "centralization", pursuing convenient users, and extremely pursuing the integration of all needs.

Although YY has not been able to integrate all the needs of netizens, it can now integrate most of the needs of most users. In this case, YY's centralization refuses to integrate "Yahoo Mail". What Yahoo Mail users can do is Abandon Yahoo and use other YY-approved methods to integrate your centralized needs.

This is like Li Mu's current Hao123 navigation. Hao123 is a centralized product. It integrates all users' needs for accessing web pages into the Hao123 page. A considerable number of users who need news reading will look for news in Hao123. Portal, if you remove Sina from Hao123, the vast majority of users will not give up Hao123 because of the absence of Sina, but will naturally choose other news portals on Hao123 because of the absence of Sina.

This is the horror of centralized products. If you are in the downstream of it, all the water sources will be blocked by it in minutes.

Apple's APP-Store is also a standard centralized product, so it has absolute right to speak. If he wants to reward 30% of the commission, then most platforms have to compromise. Apps that update functions must be removed from the shelves.

Li Mu also does not recognize Apple's domineering, especially the APP-Store itself is a revenue platform that is open to partners. In such a platform, partners should be respected. However, Li Mu has not made YY an open source platform. Therefore, Yahoo is not his collaborator, nor has any contract or cooperation with each other. Li Mu does not take Yahoo's money, does not divide Yahoo's traffic, and does not charge Yahoo's service fees. In the case of interests, if Li Mu can open YY's interface to Yahoo Mail for free, he can kill this interface.

So he doesn't need to feel any guilt for blocking Yahoo's interface at all. I don't think you're happy, so if you block you, I'll block you?
