Chapter 1302 Do You Think I Am Short of Money?
When Li Mu and the veterans returned to the hotel together, it was already past four in the afternoon.
The heads of more than 300 enterprises have already arrived at 90%, and they have all checked in under the arrangement of the staff. At this moment, they are in groups of three or five, chatting and gathering in the rooms of some familiar colleagues.
The charity night event in the evening was in the banquet hall. It was very simple on-site. Except for the main stage and the sign-in wall, Li Mu did not prepare any extra materials. This time, for the charity night, Li Mu's hope was to keep everything simple and put aside All the details directly throw the core of this charity night to everyone.
Li Mu has received several calls from President Li. He has always wanted to meet himself before the charity night, hoping to talk about important things in private. Li Mu can probably guess his purpose, so he made an appointment with him. , meet in your room at five o'clock.
At 4:40, Mr. Li came and knocked on the door.
Li Ziwei opened the door and invited President Li to the living room of the suite, where Li Mugang sat down and had a sip of tea.
Seeing Mr. Li coming in, Li Mu greeted him enthusiastically: "President Li, come here and have a cup of tea."
President Li was also very polite, smiled and said to Li Mu, "Long time no see President Li!"
Li Mu laughed dumbly, and said, "You are also President Li, and I am also President Li. I can't tell the difference. I have a Li Assistant here. It's really troublesome for the three surnamed Li to call each other together."
Only then did President Li realize that Li Mu's assistant, Li Ziwei, was also surnamed Li.
Li Mu said, "Well, you can call me Li Mu, and I'll call you Robin. This is my assistant, Li Ziwei. You can call her Ziwei."
President Li smiled and nodded, feeling very happy, because Li Mu actually knew his English name was robin, which made him feel very honored.
Right now, Li Mu's size has grown to the point where Internet people all over the country look up to him, and so does President Li. He debuted very early and became famous early, but it's useless. There are still people who are older than him in the domestic Internet. There are a lot of piles, but they all have to bow their heads in front of Li Mu. Who made Li Mu's size huge? The current market value of Muye Technology is nearly 100 times that of Baidu. This alone is enough to make President Li drop three levels in front of Li Mu. .
Li Mu invited President Li to sit beside him. Li Ziwei hurried up and poured him a cup of tea. President Li took a sip of tea and praised: "President Li, this Pu'er tea is really good!"
Li Mu said, "Look at you, didn't you say you call me by my name, and I call you Robin?"
Robin smiled slightly and said, "You call me Robin, and I call you President Li, which is more appropriate."
Li Mu shook his head helplessly, thinking that you can call it what you like, so he asked him, "Robin, what's your business with me?"
Robin hesitated for a while, but still said, "Mr. Li, then I'll get straight to the point. We have cooperated on YiTing.com before, but due to some reasons, Baidu got off early, but to be honest, online music search and audition and There is a huge demand for downloads, and Yiting.com is the leader in this field, so we hope to acquire Yiting.com to supplement our business and traffic. Very tasteless."
Li Mu knew that there was something in Robin's words. At the beginning, Baidu did have shares in Yiting.com, but he got out of the car ahead of time. However, he did not violate professional ethics. They got off the road, so they took the initiative to get out of the car and leave. Later, with the rise of Yiting.com, they had no choice but to blame themselves for their lack of vision and unsteady mentality.
The son of Mr. Li, the richest man in Hong Kong, held a 20% stake in Tengxun. He also got out of the car early because his mentality was not firm enough. He missed the super aircraft carrier with a market value of 3 trillion, but who can blame this.
So Li Mu didn't answer what he said,
He said directly to him: "Robin, to tell you the truth, YiTing.com is still very important to my entire industry structure."
After saying this, the subtext in Li Mu's heart was: YiTing.com is really tasteless now, but if you want to buy it, then it is my treasure.
Robin also knows that Li Mu is not a good person. Although he is very generous in charity, when he does business, he is the most treacherous businessman in the world.
Therefore, Robin did not go around with Li Mu, and directly said: "If Mr. Li is interested in selling YiTing.com, he can quote us a price. If Baidu's strength is not enough, we can use the funds behind it. In short, as long as the price is right, Baidu will All are acceptable."
Li Mu smiled without saying a word, only to see that Robin felt a little nervous, and then Li Mu asked him, "Robin, do you think I'm short of money?"
Robin was immediately speechless.
Is Li Mu short of money? Of course he is not short of money.
He not only has three big companies, but also EasyTing.com, and another one is continuing to earn cash for him. Moreover, in the last round of financing of Muye Technology, Li Mu just had a large amount of cash in hand.
There are many people working on the Internet in China, but most of their assets are illusory worth. Li Mu is not only the most valuable, but also the first in cash.
It is indeed very difficult to do business with a person who is not short of money, and wants to buy something from the other party.
However, Li Mu may not be short of money, but Robin knows that Baidu really lacks an EasyTing.com.
Immediately, he said to Li Mu very humbly: "Mr. Li, I know that with your current asset situation, you are not short of money at all, but Yiting.com is your asset after all, if there is a suitable opportunity to realize the asset, it is not impossible. You can consider realizing it, after all, cash is more flexible to operate..."
Li Mu waved his hand and said seriously: "Robin, I don't agree with your point of view. Out of friendship, I also suggest that you don't get too obsessed with cash in the future. The future economic development will definitely lead to currency devaluation, so I suggest that you have money on hand. In addition to the necessary emergency funds, use all the remaining cash as investment assets. If you have the heart to take care of it, you can make an angel investment fund. If you don't have the heart to take care of it, it is also a good choice to simply exchange cash for real estate. It's a very irrational idea to keep too much cash in it."
Li Mu seemed to be giving Robin a better financial advice, but he also refused Robin's request very simply. If Li Mu would use EasyTing.com simply to cash out, then he would not be the current Li Mu.
Robin looked embarrassed. He knew that it was difficult for Li Mu to agree to sell YiTing.com, but he didn't expect Li Mu to refuse so simply.
When he thought that Li Mu had told him that he would sell YiTing.com to him sooner or later, Robin felt bitter in his heart.
There is no way to say such words. Li Mu was not a promise to himself, but a matter of one sentence. If he held on to it and let Li Mu fulfill it, it would appear that his IQ was low. However, Baidu is indeed very I need YiTing.com. If I don't get the support of Li Mu, Baidu's traffic will probably get lower and lower in the future. After all, we have to beware of the giant Google, and Robin's life is not easy at all.
At this time, even Robin himself can't believe that Google will one day withdraw from the Chinese market and leave the search engine market of more than one billion people to himself, so he can be described as an internal and external trouble, and he can't sleep all day.
Li Mu can see his helplessness. In front of him, he is really not convincing and has no weight. If he wants to sell YiTing.com, it is completely impossible to convince him with his ability. What's more, he has his own 's conspiracy.
So, Li Muyu said to Robin earnestly: "Robin, you really don't know how much EasyTing.com means to me."
Robin looked at Li Mu with a dazed expression, and felt very unhappy. You didn't tell the truth all day long. I've seen it through a long time ago. When the mother fooled me to get out of the car, I shouldn't have been fooled by you. Tingwang hasn't made any big moves for a long time. Everyone knows that it means a lot to you. I want to buy it now. You told me that this thing means a lot to you. You really are not. Ordinary profiteers!
Li Mu didn't care what Robin thought of himself, he said with emotion: "Oh, you don't know, Yiting.com is my first entrepreneurial project. From the perspective of Yiting.com itself, I have never made a profit with it. In order to ensure the user experience of EasyTing.com, I have not even accepted any external advertisements on EasyTing.com, but EasyTing.com is the incubator of my entire product empire!”
Speaking of which, Li Mu paused, took a sip of tea, and sighed: "If it wasn't for EasyTing.com, I would not be able to incubate the huge online community of Tieba. Tieba is the real beginning of my Internet dream. You You must know that I gathered users through Tieba and promoted Happy Farm through Tieba, so I took away the user connections of Tengxun QQ, and finally created the current Muye Technology."
Robin nodded, what Li Mu said was right, his fortune history and the entire industry have been studied countless times like a bible. Really like what Li Mu said, everything was hatched from EasyTing.com. Although YiTing.com seems to be irrelevant to Li Mu now, all of Li Mu's big products today are hatched and born from here.
At this time, Li Mu looked at Robin and asked him, "You said, does EasyTing.com mean a lot to me? If I say something outrageously, it is like the apple that fell on Newton's head, without that apple. , Newton may not have become a physicist, just as, if there is no easy listening network, there is no me now."
Robin was ashamed, nodded and said, "Mr. Li, you are right, but this apple is of great significance, but if you keep it in your hand, it will rot..."
Li Mu said: "There are conditions at home, it is of great significance. If the day comes when it cannot be kept fresh, it is worthwhile to buy a refrigerator specially for it. If not, you can also make it into a specimen. Keep it and leave it as a souvenir for yourself, this is always okay, right?"
Robin was about to cry, but he really couldn't play the hanging man Li Mu. He could call black as white, white as black, and even a rotten apple as gold. What can I do? If the law doesn't matter, I can't wait to fight him now.
Just when Robin was extremely melancholy, Li Mu suddenly changed the topic and said, "Robin, why don't you go back and discuss with your shareholders and the capital behind them, and merge Yiting.com!"
"M&A?!" The second thing Robin was afraid of happened.
He is most afraid of Li Mu's life and death, and secondly, he is afraid that Li Mu is willing to sell, but not willing to sell for money, but to let himself take Baidu's shares for mergers and acquisitions.
Li Mu seemed to have seen through all Robin's thoughts at this time, he smiled slightly and said, "If you can give Yiting.com a good M&A offer, I will give Yiting.com the love to you, and I will also let Muye Technology give it to you. Sufficient resources to tilt.”
Speaking of which, Li Mu fixed Robin's expression on his face, smiled confidently and said, "Robin, you know better than anyone how much traffic I have in my hands, and, if I tell my heart, I'm not going to do it. Search engines, doing your job is too tiring."
