Chapter 1462 Fighting From the Front!

Larry Page is desperate for these sloppy shareholders.

But he can't blame them, because everyone is chasing capital and profit, and in the capital field, there is always a deep-rooted gambler's psychology. The greater the profit, the more serious the gambler's psychology will be. So big, shareholders are willing to sacrifice a certain amount of interests in exchange for stability, but when Li Mu's appetite exceeds the shareholders' psychological expectations, the shareholders in turn become willing to take certain risks in exchange for interests, which is precisely this mentality , let everyone decide to take a risk and see if Li Mu is a paper tiger.

Unfortunately, Li Mu is not a paper tiger. He is not even a tiger. As he told Robin, he is a hunter with a gun in the animal world. He stands proudly at the top of the food chain. He will turn a blind eye to the passing rabbits, but he will not let him go. A tiger with claws and claws in front of him, or a fox playing with his mind.

Although he understood these shareholders, Larry Page still said to them very seriously: "If we go back to Li Mu and rush to accept his offer, then we will face an embarrassing situation. From what I know about Li Mu, if I go back to find Li Mu today, Li Mu's offer is no longer 15%, it may be 18%, it may be 20%, what should I do then? Accept it? Or continue to refuse?"

Shareholders fell silent.

Rejecting 15% of the offer, and then accepting a new 20% offer the next day with a calm face, what is this? The price of installing B? If this is the price of pretending to be B, it would be too heavy.

How to do?

Now that Li Mu's father is going to be serious, for Google, should he kneel down and be a grandson, or stand and follow Li Mugang?

Kneeling is easy, but you sacrifice not only your dignity, but also huge benefits. You can defend your dignity by standing, but whether you can stand up is the key. After all, kneeling yourself is completely different from being beaten to the ground. of the two states.

All of these people are elites. Some of them are proficient in the Internet, some are proficient in computers, and some are proficient in investment and capital operations, but none of them are proficient in Bing with Li Mu.

Sometimes, the world is so cruel. You have all kinds of abilities and means, and you are so fragile in the face of absolute power. Neither technology nor capital can help them catch up with Muye Technology. Muye Technology is like It is a globalized and upgraded version of Tengxun. No matter what it chooses to do, it can make its competitors sleepless because it has a strong user base. When you want to build a high-rise building, it is already ahead of you. Skyscrapers are piled up at a height of 100 meters. In the face of this powerful advantage, Muye Technology will only be defeated in its own hands.

Just like Tengxun, Huaxia's Internet companies want to achieve great development,

Only by doing things that Tengxun has not done, or in areas that are not well done, it is extremely difficult to succeed.

At present, Muye Technology has demonstrated its ecological strength in the global Internet field. It can completely subvert Apple's iTunes in a few days. How many rounds can Google last in his hands?

Apple's tragic situation is still in front of us. Although Apple was finally acquired by Muye Technology, how much meat has been cut off by the shareholders behind it, if it is really put on the table, it is really more terrifying than the slaughterhouse, although in the eyes of ordinary people, this is just It is that one company acquires another company, but only those who understand capital operations know how bloody and horrific this scene is.

After more than ten years of hard work, he returned to before liberation overnight.

None of Google's shareholders would like Google to end in the same way.

All shareholders were forced to give up an opportunity that could have prospered and made a huge profit, and then sold their assets at a very low price, and then left the market sadly.

Such an end, Google's shareholders can not accept.

Therefore, panic started to brew among them, and more and more people wanted to kneel down to Li Mu immediately.

Larry Page stood up at this time, and he said to everyone: "Let's not mess up for the time being. Li Mu is only preparing to cooperate with Baidu, not the cooperation has already started. In this case, we can wait and see. For a period of time, if it does have a great impact on us, it is not too late for us to renegotiate with Muye Technology."

Someone immediately asked: "If Muye Technology's search engine becomes bigger and stronger, will they still be willing to cooperate with us? I'm afraid that Li Mu's biggest idea is to kill us!"

Others also agreed.

Larry Page asked back: "Yesterday you were willing to take risks, why don't you have the courage today? You said Li Mu was bluffing before, so why do you think Li Mu is not bluffing now?"

This sentence made many people look embarrassed.

Larry Page is right, they are all gamblers, why did they dare to gamble yesterday, but not today?

With a sigh, Larry Page spread his hands and said to everyone: "Everyone, I don't ask everyone to follow my advice in everything, but I also hope that everyone can keep their IQ at a stable level, not yesterday. The IQ is 160, and there are only 40 left today, and the fluctuation of IQ will make our project risk not controllable."

After speaking, Larry Page explained: "I mean, guys, you are all the top elites in Silicon Valley, but your IQ should not only be reflected in professional skills, life, or other aspects as much as possible. Be able to reflect, so that you can maintain the judgment of the elite at all times."

A shareholder frowned and asked, "Larry, what do you mean by beating around the bush for so long?"

Larry Page looked at him and said with a serious expression: "Frank, let me tell you a story, I once had a college classmate who had a very high IQ and was a complete computer genius. When we were still in school, When he was 24 years old, he sold his independently developed software to IBM through his own efforts. At the age of 24, he already had a net worth of tens of millions of dollars. Three years ago, his net worth exceeded 30 million dollars, but He committed suicide one day just three years ago, hanging himself by his own belt in his Los Angeles villa, and you know why?"

Everyone was puzzled.

Larry Page stretched out a finger in the air, and said emotionally: "Because he married a goddamn dancer five years ago! One can spend twenty dollars and take off everything The stripper who rides your shirt on you and dances for you! He is worth tens of millions of dollars, but falls in love with this woman who strips for twenty dollars a day, and what's even more terrifying is that he not only married that stripper , and handed over all his assets to her to take care of. The final result was that the dancer and his personal lawyer colluded with him, and then the two transferred all his property and deceived him into a As a partner in an illegal private equity fund, he lost all his family property overnight and owed tens of millions of dollars in debt."

Having said that, Larry Page sneered and said, "A genius who can make tens of millions of dollars, but can't see the true face of a prostitute, he just sold twenty dollars for tens of millions of dollars plus One life, this is what I said, IQ is too limited! To be honest, I see the shadow of my college classmate in you!"

After everyone heard it, they didn't say a word with embarrassed expressions.

Larry Page continued: "I want you to open up the limits of your IQ and see two key points:

First, Li Mu's true identity is a capitalist who takes advantage of the fire. The more you are afraid of him, the more he wants. If we mess up now, it will only make us look easier to slaughter in Li Mu's eyes;

Second, Li Mu is very smart and cunning. He can see through the weaknesses and realities of his competitors, but he can hide his own weaknesses and motives extremely well. Therefore, when we are not enough, we must not trust our first instincts. Because our first instinct is often seen through and used by Li Mu. "

After a pause, Larry Page said again: "A few minutes ago, your first instinct was to ask Li Mu to relent and accept his offer, so the first thing we have to do now is to never show any The attitude of bowing to Li Mu, first stabilize the rhythm, and see what Li Mu will do next."

...

Larry Page thinks that Li Mu's move this time is more fake than real. What Li Mu is looking forward to most is to invest in Google at a low price and earn dividends from the search engine industry, instead of going all out to cultivate and Fighting hard, the search engine business is not very promising among all Li Mu's businesses, so he feels that as long as Google can stabilize the pace, even if Li Mu really cooperates with Baidu, he believes that the follow-up progress will not be very fast, and even some It might end without a hitch, but if I go to discuss cooperation with Li Mu at that time, I will be able to take the initiative to some extent.

However, he didn't expect that Li Mu's determination to advance this matter was beyond everyone's imagination. Even the people from Muye Technology did not understand why Li Mu suddenly wanted to add a search engine business and put so much energy into it. Operate yourself.

Robin held a video conference with his shareholders and executives. When he relayed Li Mu's metaphor of monkeys, tigers, hunters and bullets to other Baidu executives, all of them agreed to accept Li Mu's cooperation plan and convert Baidu's All technologies and patents on the search engine are open to Makino Technology.

A day later, Li Mu and Robin held an internal signing ceremony in Silicon Valley.

In this signing ceremony, in addition to the executives of Makino Technology and Robin, there are also three executives and shareholders of Baidu. They flew to the United States overnight and briefly participated in the discussion of the contract details, and then everyone happily reached it. A consensus was reached and a contract was drawn up.

The core content of this contract is: Muye Technology and Baidu jointly set up a joint venture in Silicon Valley. The name of the company is Muye&. In the future, Muye& will focus on the search engine, and plans to develop a company called "Muye". search engine and build it into a world-class search engine.

The capital contribution and equity structure of Muye& are as follows: Makino Technology invested 10 million US dollars, accounting for 90% of the company's shares, Baidu invested in technology, accounting for 10% of the company's shares, and Baidu will unconditionally open its search to Muye& in real time in the next ten years. All technologies and patents in the engine field, and Makino Technology will invest its own technical strength to carry out secondary development on the basis of Baidu technology, and will also unconditionally open the technical achievements of secondary development to Baidu in real time.

The limitations of the two parties on their respective coverage are: Muye& will never carry out search engine-related business in China’s local market, and Baidu will never carry out non-Chinese search engine-related business in markets other than China’s local market.

The last one is a small benefit that Li Mu gave to Baidu. He promised that Muye& would not go to the Huaxia market to grab any share with Baidu, but Baidu itself can go to overseas markets to do Chinese search. This is not restricted by himself, it is left for Baidu. A small window of global development.

In addition to this contract, Li Mu also signed a supplementary agreement with Baidu in the name of Muye Technology. This supplementary agreement is very simple. Since Li Mu is not going to do a search engine business in China, or even a Chinese search business in the world, Therefore, he decided to add multiple entrances in the Chinese version of YY and the Chinese site of YY website, so that all Chinese search traffic will be directed to Baidu unconditionally.

This is equivalent to a favor from Li Mu to Robin, but for Baidu, it is equivalent to adding multiple blood supply channels, and the basic business can be greatly improved in an instant.

The two sides happily signed the agreement, and then Li Mu immediately asked the administrative and logistics department of Muye Technology in North America to start looking for a new office space near the company for Muye& to work. At the same time, he asked Fang Xudong to come to Silicon Valley. Technicians in Silicon Valley divide labor and use part of their technical strength for Muye&’s upcoming search engine business; on the one hand, they sort out Apple’s upcoming technical employees, classify and rate these talents, most of them are digested within Muye Technology, and a small part Released to Muye&.

In order to give the employees a satisfactory explanation, Li Mu sent a group email within Muye Technology and made a few explanations to Tim Cook and all Apple employees:

First of all, employees of both parties have the possibility of being selected to be sent to Muye&, and I hope all employees are psychologically prepared;

Secondly, this is only a transfer within the group, not a transfer at the company level. Since Muye& is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Muye Technology, all employees who are transferred from Muye Technology to Muye& will be dealt with as dispatch, which is essentially Muye technology employees;

Finally, Muye Technology will increase 10% of their salary as a dispatch subsidy for all employees dispatched to Muye&.

As soon as this explanation came out, all the concerns in the two teams were dispelled.

Muye Technology's influence and brand awareness in the Internet industry are second to none. Employees do not want to leave this big group and join a new company that has just been established. In a society like the United States that pays great attention to personal credit, the gold content of a work company is of great significance to employees. Importantly, even though the salary level of the employees of Makino Technology and the employees of an unknown company is exactly the same, in American society, their personal credit content is very different.

In the next few years, this situation will gradually appear in China. Even if employees of large companies have a credit card, the limit is much higher than that of employees of small companies. When employees of large companies go out on a blind date, they can make the opposite sex take a good look. This is The added value that large companies give to their employees.

In just a few days, Li Mu's vigorous actions shocked the entire Silicon Valley.

No one knew what the conflict between Li Mu and Google had happened, but everyone could see that as soon as Li Mu bought Apple, he immediately mobilized a lot of troops, and found another Chinese mercenary to form a super army, ready to fight with them. Google is at war!
