Chapter 1489 The Feast of Whale Swallowing

Although Weibo and blog seem to differ by only one word, and many people say that the former is a lightweight version of the latter, in fact, in Li Mu's point of view, these two products have a great deal of root concept. difference. ． Fastest update

Blogs are like blackbird reconnaissance planes in the United States. They are destined to be eliminated or marginalized by the Internet industry. Just like the chat rooms that were rampant in the past, they are a transitional product of a certain period of time and belong to it. The life cycle is just a few years, and after these years, it will never be able to regain its former glory.

This kind of transitional product is also reflected in the physical industry. The most obvious one is PHS, which is fast in fire and fast in death. The reason why it can have a short-term brilliance is because the mobile communication equipment and the use cost are at that time. The segment is too expensive, and ordinary landline phones have relatively cheap equipment and usage costs, but do not have the capability of mobile communication, so PHS, which is caught in the middle, immediately found its niche market.

However, PHS itself is a deformed product with major technical flaws and extremely lack of room for upgrading. When the industry is upgraded, or when the top industry begins to put pressure on it, it is like a bean living in the middle of an oil press. any resistance.

In Li Mu's view, in addition to the strong vertical field of the future Internet, all other industrial models must be integrated into social networking to be the final development form. There will be one day to be eliminated.

The so-called strong vertical is like navigation software, translation software, weather software, and production tools with extremely vertical functions. For example, photoshop never needs to consider adding social networking to its own products, and AutoNavi and Google Navigation do not need to force users. Socialize within your own software.

However, in addition to this strong vertical software, other products need the blessing of social attributes to ensure their vitality. The success of NetEase Cloud Music lies in its integration into social networking. The reason why Zhihu overtook Baidu Know and became a legend It is precisely because of its social nature that the high-competence community in China is integrated.

It is the nature of social networking that gives people the stage to act as a b, the motivation to act as a b, and a channel for people to realize their own influence through personal influence. Weibo is the same.

The social nature of blogs is weak, and there is no essential difference between them and PHS. However, the social nature of Weibo or Twitter is second only to social software such as WeChat. Li Mu does not know about Weibo and Twitter. Just how strong the product is, but it is sure that it is much stronger than any kind of blog.

A few years later, Sina Weibo gradually declined due to the rampant advertising, but twitter has been radiating vigorous vitality on the international stage, which is enough to prove the vitality of twitter on a global scale. If yy's product system can hatch a twitter, Then yy's overall combat effectiveness will be stronger, so for Li Mu,

Weibo really must be done, and it must be done in a globalized manner, and it must be the best.

It's just that Li Mu didn't think about it before that the microblog model would be thought of so quickly. Fortunately, the person who thought of it was Chen Tong. Otherwise, if it became a competitor, it might add a threat to yy's future. enemy.

Although Tengxun has become history now, Li Mu still respects the overall operation mode of Tengxun in later generations. Tengxun takes QQ and WeChat as the core, and makes every effort to develop its own closed loop and ecology, no matter what sectors of the Internet industry, as a giant Enterprises, as long as they can do it, they must do it. If they can do it, they will do it. If they can't do it, they will invest and acquire well.

Li Mu's goal is the same. He will never think that his territory has expanded enough, and he will always be in awe and desire for emerging fields.

As a result, Li Mu announced at the core of the company that a twitter division would be established immediately, and Chen Tong, the head of the blog at this stage, would be the general manager of the division.

The reason why it is named the Twitter Division, not the Weibo Division, is to do a good job of confidentiality to the greatest extent. If the word Weibo is revealed in advance, then the Internet people at this stage will easily associate these two words. Behind each word means microblog, that is, a simplified and lightweight blog, so that at least half of the strategic intention is exposed in advance.

However, it is very abstract to call it twitter. It is impossible for Huaxia Internet to figure out what kind of product is behind it. Overseas, especially Western Internet companies will not be able to associate it.

After all, if you tell a Huaxia Internet person that Muye Technology is going to develop a software, the name is forced b nao, then many people are also confused, and they can't figure out what the meaning behind this is.

The Twitter business department is very high-level in Muye Technology. The business department is not under the control of any vice president. Chen Tong reports directly to Li Mu, and the technical department needs to give all support unconditionally so that Twitter can be launched as soon as possible.

At this stage, Makino Technology has become the focus of global Internet companies, so the big move such as the establishment of a business department within the industry cannot be concealed from other colleagues in the industry. Almost on the day the business department was established, domestic Internet companies have received news : Muye Technology has established a high-level business unit that reports directly to Li Mu. The name of the business unit is very strange, called twitter.

For a time, the entire industry was speculating, what exactly is twitter?

Soon, the news spread to Silicon Valley and Wall Street. When it was learned that Makino Technology had established a business unit named in English, Silicon Valley was very nervous.

As a Chinese enterprise, Muye Technology suddenly established a business unit named in English. For Silicon Valley, it is instinctive to think that this business unit was established specifically for the English-speaking market.

Then this also means that the next key product of Makino Technology will exert its strength in the English market.

No one knows what kind of product twitter is, but everyone knows very well in which field this twitter is positioned, then the companies in this field at this stage will suffer a huge blow. Every Silicon Valley entrepreneur is praying, I hope that the actual direction of twitter will not coincide with the direction of your own business.

Some entrepreneurs who are also in Silicon Valley are asking Lin Qingya, who is based in North America, to verify through various channels, hoping to get a few words about twitter through communication with Lin Qingya, but Lin Qingya told everyone very frankly: The establishment of Muye Technology She knows no more than outsiders about the Twitter business department, because she only knew that the company had set up such a new department when she received the group's public email.

Lin Qingya didn't lie either. Since the Twitter project needs to be kept secret and she herself is not in China, Li Mu did not inform her of the relevant plans before setting up the business department. All the content about Twitter is only available in a few people who actually attended the conference in Yanjing. A senior knows this.

Li Mu also made it clear that the core content of twitter should not be communicated online through e-mail, YY transmission, video conference and other methods, so Lin Qingya, who is in North America, only knew that this division was established, but the specifics of this division are of the content, she knew nothing about.

Even Lin Qingya didn't know what the Twitter division was doing, which made the entire Silicon Valley even more nervous. Li Mu's unfavorable situation during this period of time made all Silicon Valley Internet companies feel like they were held hostage by Li Mu. The news from the twitter division was like hearing the sound of Li Mu sharpening his knives through the door. No one who was locked up knew whether Li Mu sharpened his knives to kill him.

And in this worry, the only company that can completely ignore it is Google.

Google knows very well that after paying the protection fee, Makino Technology will no longer compete with them, so twitter may be any kind of product, but it can never be a search engine.

This makes Larry Page feel extra relaxed. It seems that this is the benefit of paying protection fees.

...

When twitter became a hot word in the global Internet, the signing ceremony of muye&baidu and google was about to be held in Yanjing.

This signing ceremony will be the largest and most closely watched event of Muye Technology from its establishment to the present.

In the previous blog, Li Mu frankly stated to the world that he is a businessman and his instinctive pursuit of business interests. Almost all major global media have "forced acquisition" of Li Mu, as well as the content of that blog. It was reported that this acquisition not only attracted the attention of netizens around the world, but also was recognized by the vast majority of netizens. This seemingly unfair but conspiracy of your own accord has also become a topic of discussion. Sassy operation.

Because of this, the global Internet, capital markets, financial markets, and the vast majority of netizens are paying special attention to this special "M&A case". Because there are too many media present, the placement of on-site cameras must be reserved in advance and limited supply. In addition to large TV media, other print media and online media reporters are all refused to carry large camera equipment, and can only bring SLR cameras into the venue.

There are thousands of journalists and entrepreneurs who are determined to participate in the signing ceremony. Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg were invited to China to participate. Even Tim Cook put down his work and came from afar to help himself. The new boss Li Mu joined the platform.

In addition to the person in charge of the company surrounding Li Mu's ecological development, the bigwigs of various companies in Silicon Valley have also come to support him. After all, he is the future super giant of the Internet industry. No one dares to underestimate Li Mu's future influence on the global Internet. They were willing to travel thousands of miles to come here, on the one hand, they hoped to show their love to Li Mu, on the other hand, they also hoped to gain some popularity.

Not only Silicon Valley, but also a lot of Wall Street bigwigs. As the only Western capital that has invested in Muye Technology, Sequoia Capital eo went to the scene to stand for Li Mu. After this acquisition is completed, the valuation of Muye Technology will be up There has been a surge. As an investor who makes money with cars, the potential profit of Sequoia's investment in Makino Technology has exceeded 300%. Whether it is profit margin or profit scale, it is the largest investment in Sequoia in recent years.

In this scorching July, a feast of the capital sector is about to be staged around the world!
