Chapter 1473 Don't Talk to Me About Buying Shares
Since Larry Page sat down on the grass by the bank, Li Mu's mood has become extraordinarily good.
The fish float didn't seem to move at all, but Li Mu knew in his heart that he had caught a big fish, and that big fish was Larry Page and Google behind him.
Larry Page didn't expect that he would travel halfway around the world, only to sit on the grass and watch Li Mu go fishing.
What's even more depressing is that Li Mu came here not really for fishing, but for the purpose of filming a show, which means that even if he waits for him to finish fishing, he may not have time to talk to him about business.
I heard that Li Mu was going to live here at night, what should I do? There is also no hotel here, so I can't sleep in the wild, can I?
Thinking of this, Larry Page sighed, feeling both wronged and humiliated.
Depression and humiliation are certain. As an IT talent at the forefront of the world, Larry Page has never been treated like this.
However, I have never suffered it again, and I still suffer it today.
After all, it is Li Mu's father. If Google is a tiger, today it is just an immature cub, and Muye Technology is a hunter with a gun. In front of Muye Technology, he has no substantial resistance.
Larry Page was really thirsty, hungry and tired after running all the way for so long, but this time he came in a hurry, only carrying a backpack, a laptop, two pairs of underwear and a t-shirt. I was so hungry that I couldn't even stutter.
Not to mention food, not even to drink.
It stands to reason that he is also a guest who has come from afar to find Li Mu. Can anyone from the staff of these show groups kindly bring him a bottle of water? The temperature today is still in the early thirties. It is easy for people to be thirsty and short of water when they stay outdoors. All the staff on the shore have ice-cold drinks to drink, but they can only sit here and watch while swallowing. This feeling It's so tragic.
Li Mu and Peng Yuyan spent two full hours fishing on the kayak.
In the past two hours, the two of them have harvested quite a lot. Seven or eight crucian carp were caught, most of which were long in one bundle. In addition, there were two large grass carp, which were estimated to be about a pound and a half. At about two pounds, the rest are a pile of various small fish, which are basically caught and thrown back into the water.
Peng Yuyan's fishing skills are obviously better than Li Mu's. Li Mu fished with his father when he was young or even a teenager, using traditional long fishing rods.
However, the fishing tackle prepared by the program team was a sea fishing rod. Li Mu had never played with it before, so he was not very comfortable with it at first, so 70% of today's catch was attributed to Peng Yuyan.
Two hours later, the richly harvested two rowed back to the shore. Larry Page, who was so thirsty that his throat was smoking, hurriedly got up and docked at the suggested pier, but before he could get to him, several groups of filming crews were already in place, pulling him. Larry Page didn't even have a chance to get close directly, and Larry Page was too embarrassed to come forward and disturb the show while so many battles were being filmed.
After getting off the boat, Li Mu took the fishing tackle, Peng Yuyan carried the box full of fish, and said to Li Mu as he walked, "Mr. Li, two grass carp can make Mr. Huang stew cakes, and these crucian carp can make him make crucian carp soup. , Mr. Huang's craftsmanship of cooking crucian carp soup is really great, I drank it once, and I have an unforgettable aftertaste!"
Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "These fish are all wild, and there is no pollution, and the meat quality should be very good."
As he was talking, Li Mu caught a glimpse of Larry Page, who was standing behind the cameraman with a tangled face, and said to the director who was following the camera: "Director Xu, please find a place for Mr. Page to rest for a while. Send the fish back, help them pack the fish and go to him."
Larry Page didn't understand Li Mu's Chinese, but when he heard Li Mu mention his surname, he finally relaxed and thought to himself, "Is Li Mu finally remembering himself?"
At this time, the director of the program group came to Larry Page and said to him in English: "Mr. Page, Mr. Li's program has not been recorded yet, he asked me to arrange for you to rest for a while, and he will come over later. meet you."
Larry Page suddenly took a deep breath and said sincerely: "Thank you, I am tired and thirsty now, and I really need to rest a little."
The director of the program nodded and said, "We have a place for employees to rest. You can go there and take a break. There is water to drink. I will ask them to order you an extra fast food at night."
Larry Page hurriedly thanked: "Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome." The director of the program team smiled and asked him, "Is Mr. Page still going back to the city? If you do, you need to be in town before 4:30, where the last bus to the city is 4:30 p.m. The train leaves at 4:00, if you miss this train, it will be very troublesome to go back to the city at night, and there are almost no taxis in the town."
"Four thirty..." Larry Page looked at the time, and it was already three o'clock at this time. If he was going to town at four thirty, how could he still have time to interview Li Mu?
If you can't go back to the city, do you really want to find a place to sleep in this countryside today? That's too bad...
But Larry Page could only grit his teeth and insist, and said to the director, "I have something very important to discuss with Mr. Li Mu, so I may not go back today."
After finishing speaking, Larry Page wanted to ask him if he could find a place to stay and avoid sleeping on the street.
The director said at this time: "Since Mr. Page doesn't go back, then I will arrange for you to live in our staff dormitory, but the conditions are a bit difficult, and you may have to feel wronged."
When Larry Page heard this, he said with joy: "No, no, I'm very grateful to be able to solve a bed!"
...
When Li Mu and Peng Yuyan returned to the mushroom house and started to kill the fish, Larry Page finally drank water. After drinking two bottles of pure water, he sat on the folding stool in the lounge of the program group, thinking in his mind. All I thought about was how I should talk to Li Mu later, and how to make sure that Li Mu could accept the plan he brought this time. If I couldn't solve the problem this time, then I'm afraid that my sins would be in vain.
Li Mu didn't have the air of a billionaire in the mushroom house. He cooperated with Peng Yuyan, killed all the fish, cleaned the internal organs and scales, and then came out of the mushroom house and asked the director of the program: "Larry Where is Paige now?"
"In the staff lounge, another small courtyard we bought."
Li Mu nodded and said, "Arrange someone to bring him here, just say I can meet him now."
The director hurriedly said: "Then I will order it."
After speaking, the director took out the walkie-talkie and shouted, and immediately an assistant took the initiative to take the job and invited Larry Page to the door of the mushroom house.
Seeing Larry Page, Li Mu didn't say much, just glanced at him lightly, and when he saw his tired face, he deliberately said, "Mr. Page, there are many people here, let's just walk around and chat while walking. ."
Larry Page nodded hurriedly and followed Li Mu to the vegetable field. Li Mu didn't speak, and Larry Page didn't dare to take the initiative to break the calm, so he could only follow Li Mu silently.
There was no film crew to follow, and the two soon had a chance to talk alone. Li Mu asked him with a smile, "Mr. Page, why did you suddenly come to Huaxia?"
Larry Page said in his heart why I came, can you still not know in your heart? But he could only smile on his face: "Mr. Li, I came to Huaxia this time, mainly to meet you and talk to you about cooperation..."
Li Mu turned his head, looked at him in surprise, and asked, "Isn't the cooperation negotiation already htdn? What else can we talk about?"
Larry Page said with an embarrassed expression: "Mr. Li, this is the case. Our shareholders have not been able to reach a unified opinion before, so we have not been able to accept your conditions at that time in time. During this time, we are also constantly communicating and discussing. , Everyone thinks, I still hope to have an excellent shareholder like you to go down with us, so I came here to talk to you this time. If you are still interested in Google, would you still like to invest in Google? We can give you 20% this time."
After hearing this, Li Mu shook his head without hesitation, and said to Larry Page, "Page, there is an old saying in China, 'After this village, there is no such store', I was really interested in buying a stake in Google before, but You have not figured out your actual positioning. Now you come to me to invest in Google. I am no longer interested. You should know that Baidu and I jointly established a company specializing in search. The company is registered in Silicon Valley and is called mye& ."
Larry Page groaned inwardly, and said, "I heard about this company, but I think it is still a good investment opportunity for you to invest in Google at a low price."
Li Mu asked him: "Are you willing to let me simply invest in Google without any additional conditions? In other words, are you willing to sell me 20% of the shares at a low price, and I will only pay and nothing else? "
Larry Page looked embarrassed.
The reason why he is willing to sell Li Mu shares at a low valuation is to get Li Mu's resources and Li Mu's promise not to be a search engine for 5 years. Otherwise, what practical significance does it have for Google to just let Li Mu become a stake in Google? Woolen cloth?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Look, that's the way it is. In the previous stage, our two companies did have complementary needs, but now, the balance of these needs has been broken. Well, I don't need a stake in Google now, that's all that matters."
Larry Page was extremely depressed. The deal that could have been done with 15% has long been done. If it has to be done like this, people don't even bother to look at 20%. Everyone, including himself, is stupid. now...
After calming down, Larry Page continued to try his best: "Mr. Li, if you have any comments on the valuation, we can still communicate."
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Larry, since you've come all the way, I won't go around in circles with you. Frankly speaking, if you still want me to be a shareholder in Google, then I can tell you clearly, don't be wishful thinking. No, it’s impossible! Talk about things at each stage, and investing in shares is already the last stage. If you want to talk to me at this stage, don’t talk to me about investing in shares.”
Larry Page looked at Li Mu and asked subconsciously, "What are you talking about?"
Li Mu said lightly, "Let's talk about mergers and acquisitions."
