Chapter 1478 Can't Do Evil
After the two plates were brought to the table, Li Mu himself didn't move his chopsticks, but invited Peng Yuyan and Larry Page to try it first. Huang Lei and He Yu immediately understood. For the effect of the show, it must be a distraction. Those who try to make a try are what the audience likes to see the most.
The cameras in several positions also gave Peng Yuyan, Larry Page, and the monkey at the dining table close-up shots at the moment. Head, said to himself: "Hey, it's just a monkey, it's nothing special, I'll come first!"
"Okay!" Huang Lei clapped his hands exaggeratedly and said with a smile, "I think if Xiao Peng can accept the fried chia monkey today, he will be able to try the silkworm chrysalis tomorrow."
Peng Yuyan was about to pick up the chopsticks to catch the monkey, when he heard this, he asked blankly, "Mr. Huang, what is a silkworm chrysalis?"
Huang Lei said with a wicked smile, "I'm not very good at describing it to you, but it's also a very delicious thing."
Peng Yuyan asked, "Delicious? What does it taste like?"
Huang Lei said solemnly: "The taste is hard to describe, but the taste is very unique. I wonder if you have ever eaten peeing beef balls?"
"Of course I have." Peng Yuyan said: "There are many Hong Kong-style snacks in Taiwan. To be honest, I really like peeing beef balls."
Huang Lei nodded and said with a smile: "That's good. The taste of silkworm chrysalis is similar to that of peeing beef balls to some extent. Although it is not as bouncy as peeing beef balls, it will burst like peeing beef balls..."
Peng Yuyan hurriedly said: "Then I think I can do it. I like the taste of peeing beef balls the most, which is excellent."
"That's fine." Huang Lei said, "No matter what the new guests order tomorrow, I will make you a silkworm chrysalis, so you can enjoy it."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, if you continue to chat with Yu Yan, the monkey will be cold."
"Oh yes!" Huang Lei said hurriedly: "Come here, come to Yu Yan, try this pepper and salt to know how the monkey tastes."
Peng Yuyan pursed his lips, picked up a cognate monkey and scrutinized it for a while, swallowed a few mouthfuls, and asked Huang Lei with no confidence: "Mr. Huang, which part of it do I want to eat? Is it the back, the middle, or the middle? Do you want to remove the head?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "This thing is full of treasures. Of course, you can eat all of it. You just put it in your mouth and chew it."
"Ah..." Peng Yuyan's expression became a little more flustered.
At this time, Li Mu said to Larry Page in English: "Larry, every part of Jin Chan can be eaten, so you can just put it in your mouth and taste its deliciousness."
Larry Page waved his hand instinctively: "I don't think I'll come anymore, this thing is really unacceptable..."
Whether it was Peng Yuyan or Larry Page, when they saw the fried golden cicada at close range, both of them couldn't accept it.
Li Mu asked Larry Page, "Larry, do you usually eat shrimp?"
Larry Page nodded: "Eat."
Li Mu asked him with a smile: "You can eat shrimp, why can't Jin Chan? You say, where are we worse than shrimp?"
"This..." Larry Page couldn't say it all at once.
It is said that shrimps look better than golden cicadas? In fact, these two things look pretty ugly when you look closely.
Seeing that Larry Page was speechless, Li Mu instructed him in a low voice: "The Chinese people will instinctively prefer foreigners who can accept Chinese customs and food. What is in front of you is to cater to the whole Chinese people. good chance."
Li Mu's words are not nonsense. The people of every nation and country have very high feelings for their own culture. Foreigners who can accept their own culture will have a better image in the eyes of their own people. The story of the conquest of Chinese cuisine is a favorite of every Chinese people.
When Larry Page heard what Li Mu said, he immediately understood Li Mu's good intentions, and he felt a bit of gratitude in his heart, so he didn't care so much anymore. , close your eyes, drop it into your mouth, and force yourself to chew quickly.
Originally, Larry Page's brows were furrowed, but when he really started to eat, his brows quickly relaxed.
Larry Page himself didn't expect this thing to look so disgusting and taste so good!
Crispy, crisp, fragrant, slightly salty, slightly spicy, plus the unique taste of cumin, it is simply delicious beyond description!
Peng Yuyan on the side did not expect Larry Page, a foreigner, to be faster than himself.
The sound of "click, click" sounded, Peng Yuyan's eyes widened, and he said vaguely while eating: "It's really delicious! It's countless times more delicious than I thought!"
Larry Page was also very devoted to eating. After eating one, he subconsciously clamped the other, and then he naturally put it into his mouth.
Li Mu shook his head and smiled. He also tasted one. It tasted exactly as he remembered from his childhood, and even more delicious than what he felt at that time. After all, Huang Lei's method was more particular. I don’t pay much attention to it at home. I wash it, put it in a frying pan, fry it, sprinkle a little salt, and it’s basically ready to serve.
The five people in front of the camera were full of praise for their food, and the staff behind the camera were also very enthusiastic. Due to the large number of people, nearly a hundred chia monkeys were divided and eaten within a short time.
After eating more than a dozen of them, Peng Yuyan didn't stop moving at all, and while eating, he said, "Mr. Huang, Mr. He, I think we can grab some more tomorrow night, it's so delicious, and it's so delicious. Good catch, it's a shame not to grab some to eat."
"Okay." Huang Lei said with a smile: "Then go and catch a little more tomorrow night."
Li Mu came up with an idea: "You can find some tape tomorrow. It's sticky. In the evening, wrap it around the tree a few times. After ten o'clock, the monkeys are basically stuck on the tape."
"Is this okay?" Peng Yuyan asked in surprise.
"Why not?" Li Mu said with a smile, "This thing starts to climb trees when it breaks through the ground, and starts to shed its shells when it climbs to the branches. I don't know how many of them will climb out one after another overnight. Like we did today, we went straight to catch them. A lot of coincidences, either they haven’t come out yet, or they have climbed up and can’t be seen, if they are wrapped with tape in advance, all the climbers will be stuck in the past few hours, which is very efficient.”
Huang Lei said: "This idea is good, I can try it tomorrow."
The five people divided almost a hundred cucumber monkeys, and the one who ate the most turned out to be Peng Yuyan, and Larry Page didn't eat less, at least ten.
Seeing that it was getting late at night, Li Mu asked Larry Page, "Larry, are you not going back to the city tonight?"
Larry Page nodded and said, "It's too late to go back. The traffic here is not so convenient."
Li Mu asked, "Then where do you live?"
"The staff gave me a bed," Larry Page said.
Li Mu nodded and said, "Okay, you can go back to the city with me tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Li." Larry Page said, and added: "I have already contacted the head office, our legal affairs will draw up the merger agreement in the shortest possible time, and then I will first I will send it to you to have a look, and if there is no problem, we will sign the contract as soon as possible and get rid of the process as soon as possible.”
"Yes." Li Mu nodded and said, "But there is one thing I need to explain first. Before Google acquires Muye&Baidu, I will sign a technical statement agreement with Baidu, and Muye&Baidu will give up all claims on Baidu's technology patents. , do you have any objection to this?"
Larry Page subconsciously wanted to say that of course there are objections, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it.
Google's acquisition of Muye&Baidu is itself a very high premium transaction, because Muye&Baidu has other valuable things besides Li Mu's $10 million start-up capital and a search engine model built entirely on Baidu technology. It is Baidu's patented technologies, but now, Li Mu has to give up all claims to Baidu's technology in advance, which means that after Google's acquisition of Muye&Baidu, it will not be able to obtain any Baidu's core technology.
In this way, the M&A case that was originally extremely uneconomical has become even more uneconomical. Li Mu is equivalent to using 10 million US dollars to make a shell, and then sold it to Google at a premium of hundreds of times. Calculate the cycle, the actual premium may exceed a thousand times.
However, the reason why Larry Page did not express his objections is because he has now realized that the main significance of the acquisition of Muye&Baidu is the peace agreement with Muye Technology, the resource support of Muye Technology and the reconstruction of investors and capitalists. Confidence in Google, in this case, whether Muye&Baidu has Baidu's patented technology is essentially irrelevant.
Since it is irrelevant, there is no need to protest to Li Mu. After all, Li Mu is also a shareholder of Baidu, and he must also consider Baidu's interests. If he still seizes Baidu's technical patents and does not let go, this is a futile incident. Bad things will happen.
Instead of this, it is better to follow his wishes and sign the contract as soon as possible.
So Larry Page made his own proposition and said, "Mr. Li, I have no opinion on your decision."
"That's good." Li Mu nodded, took the initiative to reach out to him, and said with a smile, "It's a pleasure to work with."
Larry Page also stretched out his hand. Although his heart was bleeding, he echoed with a smile on his mouth: "Happy cooperation!"
...
After eating, Larry Page got up to leave and returned to the room arranged for him by the program team. The on-site director also stopped the camera team and announced that the filming work for today was all over.
Just when the staff was about to pack up the equipment and leave, Li Mu pulled the program director aside and instructed him: "Today's program, be careful when editing later, and don't mention Larry Pei. Odd's identity, not to mention the word Google, and the word Google, when the program is edited, you just need to explain to the audience that he is a friend of mine, understand?"
Even if Google agreed to its own conditions and decided to acquire Muye&Baidu, Li Mu didn't want to do any publicity for Google in China, because it would have a considerable impact on Baidu's business. Google, that was really a huge blow to Baidu, and it also gave Google a huge boost in domestic development.
Li Mu couldn't let Google push Baidu into a corner in China, because in his opinion, being the boss, he couldn't let down his employees; being the boss, he couldn't let down his younger brother.
Of course, with him around, he will not allow Baidu to repeat the same mistakes of profit-seeking in his previous life, because in Li Mu's values, any company or individual who has joined the Muye technology ecosystem and its own industrial system cannot do evil!
