Chapter 1463 Soldiers Approach the City!

Muye &...

You can see it clearly from the name. This is a company jointly established by Makino Technology and Baidu. This kind of joint relationship directly written on the name is very common in the West.

For example, the military brand Lockheed Martin, which is a new product of the merger of Lockheed and Martin Marietta;

For example, the luxury brand D&G, which is a product of one letter each from the names of the two founders, Dole and Gabbana;

In fact, Baidu is a soy sauce in Muye&, but Li Mu is still willing to name the company with this name. On the one hand, it is to give Baidu some respect, and more importantly, it is to let people see at a glance that Muye& is a search engine focused on , although it is a new company, it has the DNA of two Internet companies.

In addition, the name is also to send a message to Larry Page: buddies do things, and they do what they say.

Larry Page was really shocked by Li Mu.

He didn't expect Li Mu's rhythm to be so fast, so fast that it was outrageous. A few days ago, these were just rhetoric for him to negotiate with him, but now it has all become a reality.

After Muye& announced its establishment, the first impact was the rapid rise of Baidu's valuation. In the capital market, Baidu's valuation rose by at least 30% overnight.

Secondly, Muye Technology itself has an additional bargaining chip that can be used to tell stories and increase its valuation, which indicates that Muye Technology is about to enter the field of search engines. This is an absolute cross-border expansion. For Muye Technology, There are hundreds of benefits and no harm;

In the end, it's the market's general bad-mouthing of Google.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable for Google. With such a heavyweight opponent in the market, Google's prospects have become extremely slim in an instant. First of all, it is clear that it is difficult for Google to continue to develop in the future. Adding difficulties, followed by the next problem that Google will face, not the problem of continued development, but the problem of how to keep its own country. The next development will be that Muye& will continue to erode Google's share in the search engine field, and behind Google There is no higher-level traffic source, so the only thing they can do in the future is subtraction.

The market has lost hope for Google, which has directly led to a fall in Google’s valuation in the capital market. The capital market’s recognition of Google’s valuation has dropped from 10 billion to around 6 billion, and the capital is only given to them. Judging the valuation, it is still unknown whether anyone is willing to take over Google's shares for $6 billion at this time.

The attitude of the capital market suddenly became extremely cold,

The IPO that Google is preparing was also forced to be suspended, because the cooperative brokerage told Google that if it continued to prepare for the IPO as planned, the market value of Google would be much lower than originally expected, and if, in the future, Muye& continued to give Google's business If the impact is brought, Google's valuation will continue to decrease. It is possible that even if it is successfully listed next year, it may not be able to reach the market value of 10 billion US dollars. If Muye& brings a huge impact on Google in the future, there is hope for Google to go public. will become a bubble.

Internet companies themselves are bubble-type companies. The valuation and market value are all supported by concepts and stories. Once the concept collapses and the story cannot be told, the enterprise itself will collapse. Google's original concept is: the penetration rate of search engines among Internet users And the proportion of behavior will be higher and higher, and its impact on Internet users will also increase; the story is that it is currently the world's largest search engine, and Google has no super rival in this industry, and the future is bright.

But now, the concept is still there, the story can no longer be told, the story can’t be told, and the market value collapse is the inevitable result.

There are too many cases of bubble bursting in the history of the Internet. For example, AOL, with a market value of nearly 200 billion US dollars, has shrunk by 98% in a few years; Renren has a market value of more than 7 billion US dollars at its peak, surpassing Sohu, NetEase and Sina, and finally fell. To less than one-tenth of the peak market value; and Jumei Youpin, this company can only be described with two words...

Li Mu is now just setting up a company with great fanfare, which has already made Google feel the panic that the bubble is about to burst, which has also made Larry Page panic. If Muye& really launched Muye search in a few months, and put it Built into all YY products, Google's market cap will probably fall below $3 billion.

...

Just when the whole Google was mourning, Fang Xudong came.

As a high-end technical talent who went out from Silicon Valley, Fang Xudong was summoned by Li Mu to return to Silicon Valley at this time, and the signal released was very obvious.

Li Mu has transferred all his most reliant technical masters to solve the problem of building Muye&'s technical team, which means that, from a technical point of view, Muye&'s Muye project has become Li Mu's current project with the highest technical priority .

The signal added to the desperation within Google.

Subsequently, Baidu's first engineer formation followed Fang Xudong's footsteps and rushed to the United States. According to internal sources, this engineer formation was only one-fifth of Baidu's estimated manpower investment in the Muye& project, and the remaining four-fifths were being Take the time to apply for a visa to the United States.

Baidu's high attention means that the team of Muye& in the future will be able to use Baidu's existing technology in the shortest time, and make Muye search have the same level as Baidu in the shortest time.

This also means that Muye may meet users in just a few months.

Larry Page began to suffer from severe insomnia, he has not closed his eyes for 72 hours, and he suffers from insomnia, and there are many more at Google.

Then, another news came.

Muye& rented a small and medium-sized office building of more than 5,000 square meters in Silicon Valley. This office building can accommodate at least 3 to 400 people. What is more interesting is that this office building is located in the middle of Muye Technology Silicon Valley Branch and Google. In terms of distance, it is closer to Google than to Makino Technology.

Muye& signed this office building, giving Google a greater sense of oppression up and down.

The enemy is coming, the enemy is strong, the enemy is beside you...

It is completely a sense of sight under the city.

At this time, more rumors began to appear.

It is reported that Muye Technology will add Muye search to all non-Chinese products in the future;

There is also news that Muye Technology is preparing to integrate the overseas version of Tieba into the future Muye search engine;

There is also news that Muye Technology has reached a consensus with all music copyright owners. In the future, the content of YYtunes will be synchronized to eb, and the traffic will be diverted through the Muye search engine. For a song, Muye will automatically display the genuine audition and download pages first, and it also includes the evaluation of the song by all YYtunes users;

The more terrifying news is that Muye Technology is going to start using Taobao Alliance's advertising solution on Muye, and in the first half year of the alliance's launch, all advertising revenue will be subsidized to traffic owners. It was a direct price war with Google. Google lived on advertising revenue, and Muye & Muye were supported by Muye Technology.

The last one is the most terrifying, this is almost an almost inexplicable way of attacking Li Mu.

What profit do you live on, I will give up all this part of the profit and let you lose the income plate.

Therefore, Li Mu's strategy is to oppress the other party's all sources of income, and then compete with the other party for reserves. This should be the most brutal means of competition in the capital market.

The news that circulated on the market for a while made the entire Google breathless. They witnessed Apple's death and Mango-ME's devastating destruction of Apple's profits. They could clearly feel Li Mu's pair. Invisible big hands are stuck tightly around their necks.

Resist? nonexistent.

When Larry Page couldn't sleep for four days in a row, Li Mu took Su Yingxue around California to play around and play, and he was in a happy mood.

Although Su Yingxue also enjoys this two-person world, she still cares about her parents who are far away in Huaxia. A few days ago, she endured not to say anything until after the cloudy rain in Wushan on the fourth night, when she snuggled in Li Mu's arms and asked him: "When are we going to leave home?"

Li Mu said, "I can't set the time yet, are you in a hurry?"

Su Yingxue hesitated for a moment and said, "Fortunately, if you have something to do, I will wait with you."

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile, "I'm waiting for a signal, and as soon as the signal arrives, we'll leave for home immediately."

Su Yingxue asked curiously, "What signal are you waiting for? How long will it take?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "I'm waiting for my opponent to admit counsel. It's probably not long before, it's just a day or two."

Li Mu is indeed waiting for Larry Page to admit his counsel. Li Mu is now very clear about Larry Page's thoughts. Possibly, because in Li Mu's eyes, he simply does not have the ability to exert any pressure on Li Mu. Without enough pressure, even if Li Mu has weaknesses, it is impossible to expose them.

Instead, it was Larry Page himself. Can he withstand the pressure Li Mu put on him? Li Mu made a series of intensive big moves in a very short period of time, almost every move was made to target Google, which was equivalent to giving Larry Page a set of ultra-high-intensity punches, enough Blowing up his health, therefore, in Li Mu's judgment, Larry Page must not be able to carry it for long. Once he can't carry it any longer, he will definitely admit to himself again.

Therefore, the time for Li Mu to return to China is very simple. When Larry Page admits his counsel, he will set off immediately to return to China to meet Larry Page? nonexistent.

There was no deviation in Li Mu's guess, and the next day, Larry Page and all Google's shareholders couldn't hold it anymore.

Li Mu's actions are too intensive, and the actions are very large and highly targeted. It is equivalent to using his main army to surround Google, waiting for the arrival of the general attack time. This has basically made the market despair of Google's future. No one wants to invest in Google, even if Google's valuation keeps dropping.

If it goes on like this, before Muye goes online, Google has shrunk by more than half.

Originally, as long as it was diluted by 15% to Li Mu, Google's valuation could be greatly stimulated and increase rapidly, but now, a good hand made them play a slack.

As a result, Google's shareholders held a discussion again. In this discussion, everyone attacked and complained about each other at first, but finally found that in this farce, each of them made a fatal mistake.

Larry Page wanted to compromise in the first place, but the shareholders were unwilling;

The shareholders wanted to compromise after realizing Li Mu's determination, but Larry Page held back again, thinking that Li Mu might be bluffing, so he might as well take a look before making a decision;

Seeing now, half of the body is buried in the ground.

After tearing it up for a long time, everyone found that this kind of responsibility could not be shied away from anyone. It was like everyone fell into the septic tank at the same time. No one has no smell, so it is meaningless to tear it off. , can only increase internal friction.

After recognizing this reality, Google has struggled to reach a consensus internally, and it is meaningless to continue to blame the responsibilities. It is the best way to stop the loss by taking the time to make up for the fault.

Therefore, the shareholders finally decided to let Larry Page represent Google to meet and chat with Li Mu again. This time Google admitted it, and the shareholders collectively diluted 20% of the shares to Li Mu, and the shares increased from the 15% that Li Mu wanted to 20%. %, the price is 4 billion US dollars, which is 33.4% lower than the previous 6 billion US dollars. There is a huge gap between the two offers, and the losses behind them are extremely heavy.

But for these completely disorganized shareholders, they feel that as long as Li Mu agrees to take a stake in Google, guarantee Google's previous conditions, and stop Muye&'s project, Google's market value can rise again, so the pain is only temporary. , As long as the person is not dead, the flesh that is cut off will grow back sooner or later.

So, Larry Page hurriedly contacted Li Ziwei, hoping to make another appointment with Li Mu.

Li Ziwei had been instructed by Li Mu for a long time, and the original words were: "If Larry Page calls you and says he wants to meet me, you tell him that I am going back to China soon, and I don't have time to see him. If he is If he calls in the morning, you say my plane takes off in the evening, and if he calls in the afternoon and evening, you tell him that my plane takes off the next morning."

When Li Mu took Su Yingxue to Hollywood quietly, Li Ziwei received a call from Larry Page.

"Hello, Miss Li." Larry Page greeted, with a touch of embarrassment and confusion in his tone.

"Hi, hello Mr. Paige." Li Ziwei asked him with a smile, "Is there anything wrong?"

Larry Page said in a very sincere tone: "I really want to make another interview with Mr. Li Mu. I wonder if Miss Li can help me convey it?"

When Larry Page spoke, Li Ziwei had already looked at her watch twice and repeatedly confirmed the time. It was 4:30 p.m. local time in Silicon Valley.

After Larry Page finished his request to meet with Li Mu, Li Ziwei replied immediately without half a second: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Page, Mr. Li's plane will take off and return to China tomorrow morning. Before that, he Not ready to accept any guests, nor any kind of meeting request."

"What did you say?!"
