Chapter 1493 Perfect Era

Larry Page has been in a better mood in recent days.

For him, the worst day was the first day of flying from the United States to China. Not only was he extremely tired, but he was also frightened by threats from Li Mu.

However, since Google compromised as a whole, accepted Li Mu's request and decided to acquire muye&baidu, and reached an agreement with Li Mu, Larry Page's mood has been rising like the temperature in Yanjing.

Google's growing popularity in the capital market is the key to Larry Page's rising mood. What excites him even more is the importance Li Mu attaches to this cooperation.

Li Mu has invited so many elites in the Internet and capital fields to make this cooperation between Google and Muye Technology a global hot spot. This positive attitude makes the capital market realize that Li Mu really wants to work with Google to make every effort. In-depth cooperation, he endorsed Google, which is a great support for Google's valuation.

At this time, Larry Page was chatting with a few friends in Silicon Valley. Li Mu brought Mark Zuckerberg to the front. Several Silicon Valley elites saw Li Mu coming and greeted Li Mu hurriedly and enthusiastically. Larry Page turned his head Seeing it was Li Mu, he immediately turned around and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Li."

Li Mu nodded in response, and then said to several people: "I'm here to introduce you to a friend, Mark Zuckerberg, who is currently studying at Harvard University."

Mark Zuckerberg hurriedly waved to several people and said shyly: "Hi, everyone, my name is Mark Zuckerberg, you can call me Mark."

"Hi Mark." Larry Page shook hands with him very enthusiastically and introduced themselves.

However, a few people did not understand. It stands to reason that Li Mu is the highest-ranking and most valuable person among the entrepreneurs present today. Even Larry Page, who is worth billions of dollars, is obviously not a rank in front of him. , but Mark Zuckerberg, a young man in his early twenties, why is Li Mu attaching so much importance to him, and even being introduced to everyone by Li Mu himself?

Li Mu saw the surprise in the eyes of several people, smiled and said to them: "Mark Zuckerberg is my partner, he has a startup project, and I invested in the angel round."

As soon as they heard that Mark Zuckerberg had taken Li Mu's investment, everyone immediately admired him. It is reasonable to say that even a small venture capital fund is difficult to impress a college student's entrepreneurial project, but he got it directly. The investment of the top bigwigs in the Internet industry, what's so special about this kid?

Larry Page was also shocked and asked curiously, "Mark, what is the name of the project you are working on now? Can you give us an introduction?"

Mark Zuckerberg said: "Hello Mr Page,

The project I am doing now is called faebook, which is an eb-based social product. "

"Oh! It turned out to be faebook!" The bigwigs present made a sudden realization, Larry Page said: "I have used faebook, and the experience is very good. Some time ago, one of my college classmates told me about this product, and I used it. Found a girl I had a crush on in college."

Others also nodded their heads. As Silicon Valley elites, they pay close attention to every product born on the Internet. Although faebook was founded in Harvard, which is thousands of kilometers away from Silicon Valley, after all, it took more than 600 yuan from Li Mu. With the support of funds, faebook has become well-known among college students, and Silicon Valley has naturally paid attention to this product.

However, several people present, including Larry Page, have never thought that faebook is a project with great potential, because in their opinion, this is a page product for college students to make friends, and the user audience is narrow. And with the rise of yy, the world Internet industry pays more attention to client products, and the recognition of client products is much higher than that of eb products, so they have not paid much attention to more about faebook.

Li Mu said to Larry Page: "faebook may become a part of the yy ecosystem in the future, so in the future, Google will need to give it some diversion at the entrance of the search engine. When you return to Silicon Valley, you can help arrange it. "

When Larry Page heard that Li Mu wanted to incorporate faebook into the yy ecosystem in the future, he understood why Li Mu wanted to invest in this project. Many large companies would spread out small-scale entrepreneurial projects on a large scale like sowing seeds. If they develop well outside, they will take back the key training within the group. If they do not develop well, they will be left to fend for themselves outside.

The reason why the project is not cultivated in the system from the beginning is mainly because of lack of energy. For companies like Tengxun, the projects with capital investment outside are at least three digits. If they are all placed in the system, they will train their energy. If you can't take care of it, you can't take care of the resources. If the project with three-digit milk in one go, the cow with high milk production will also be dragged down. Instead of this, it is better to do a preliminary screening and give some money for each project. , and then let it fight on its own, focus on cultivating it when it's early, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't die.

Speaking of which, this investment method is similar to the legend of the Tibetan Mastiff. Let God help you do a round of preliminary screening first.

but. What Larry Page didn't expect was that Li Mu didn't tell him the truth.

Faebook is very important in Li Mu's future territory, but he is not ready to absorb faebook into Muye Technology, which comes from his long-standing view: no matter how big the cake is, it is no bigger than the pot that bakes it.

Therefore, he hopes that faebook can thrive outside the ecology of Muye Technology without being framed by Muye Technology. In this way, he will have the opportunity to obtain a super product of the same magnitude as yy in the future.

Larry Page asked Li Mu: "Mr. Li, what channels do faebook need to use to divert traffic?"

Li Mu said: "You first ask the technical team to manually intervene in the keywords of all university names in the world. I hope that when users search for the name of any university in the world on Google, the search results of faebook can be ranked in the top three."

Larry Page nodded, readily agreed, and said, "No problem, I'll write an email to arrange it after I go back tonight."

Li Mu was very satisfied with Larry Page's attitude and efficiency, and said: "faebook will become a highly vertical project of Muye Technology in the college student group in the future, so the accurate traffic of the college student group is required in the early stage. Regarding the accurate differentiation of traffic, there is no one Better than search engines, so please."

Larry Page hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, don't be so polite, Muye Technology is about to become a shareholder of Google, not only Muye Technology, but all the companies you invest in will become Google's strategic partners and contribute to strategic partners. , and that's what we should do."

One of the Silicon Valley elites said to Mark Zuckerberg, "Hey Mark, what city is your company in?"

Mark Zuckerberg hurriedly replied: "The company is in Cambridge, and our office is right next to Harvard."

The man smiled and said, "You should move your company to Silicon Valley. This is the core of the Internet. People are in Silicon Valley, and they are surrounded by resources. The East Coast is too far away, and there is not enough soil."

Mark Zuckerberg nodded and said: "The East Coast is indeed lacking relevant soil, but I am still studying in school, and I can't move the company to the West Coast for the time being."

Larry Page asked him, "Mark, aren't you going to take a break or drop out?"

Mark Zuckerberg scratched his head and said, "I'm still hesitating, let's see what the next step is for the company's development. If it develops rapidly, then I'll leave school first."

Larry Page said seriously: "To be honest, if it is a part-time startup, it is not difficult for a company to achieve small-scale success, but it is still very difficult to achieve large-scale success, and the same is true for athletes. American college students often appear Very good basketball, baseball, and rugby players, but if you don't turn into a professional athlete and participate in the professional league, his level will never break through to a higher level. You are now a relatively good college basketball player among college students. Athletes, but Silicon Valley is the NBA. If you want to be the next Jordan, you need to join the NBA as soon as possible. You can go back and make up for your studies in the future, but if you waste your golden period as an athlete, it will be a pity. already."

Mark Zuckerberg's expression with a shy smile all of a sudden became a little dignified. He did consider whether to drop out of school first and do his best to make faebook, but he was still undecided because of hesitation, and Larry Page's words spoke to him. In other words, it was like an enlightenment, which made him realize that if he wanted to make faebook well and bigger, he had to temporarily abandon his studies and devote all his energy to entrepreneurship.

Li Mu on the side made no statement, but for him, he also hopes that Mark Zuckerberg can break away from the shackles of school as soon as possible and concentrate all his energy on entrepreneurship. As Larry Page said, the golden period of athletes is very important. , the golden period of entrepreneurship is equally valuable, but the golden period of athletes is young, and the golden period of entrepreneurship is an opportunity.

The ten years from 2000 to 2010 were really a perfect era for the growth and development of Internet giants in the world. Later, those bigwigs who could earn over 10 billion US dollars simply by relying on the Internet all made their fortunes during this time period. To get rich, those who entered the Internet after 2010, even if they grow up to be big men, are still a grade worse than the giants of this period.

Take the Chinese Internet industry as an example, Mr. Ma, Boss Ma, and Robin all started in this perfect era, as well as Mr. Liu from JD.com, Ding Lei from NetEase, and Zhang Chaoyang from Sohu.

In the last life, Master Lei stepped on the tail of this perfect era, founded Xiaomi in 2010, and finally seized the last chance to become a giant, earning himself a worth of tens of billions of dollars, otherwise it would only be with Jinshan's business, Lei If the leader is dead, he will be worth billions of RMB;

The same is true for Wang Xing of Meituan. Before Meituan, he had a rough road to start a business, but he also founded Meituan on the tail of 2010, and survived the Hundred Regiments War that year, becoming a real giant.

For Mark Zuckerberg, the early stage of his faebook is eb social networking, and the golden period for it is even shorter. If faebook can't get up before the advent of the mobile Internet era, it really can't get up. Now, counting with his fingers, his current window period is no more than five years.

If you insist on finishing university, the window period may have passed. When the era of mobile Internet comes, it is a fool's dream to want to make an awesome eb product!

Mark Zuckerberg was entangled in his heart, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Li Mu, hoping that Li Mu could give him some advice, but at the moment when he looked at Li Mu, he suddenly realized!

Isn't Li Mu the most typical example? He stopped his studies without hesitation at the stage of starting a business, and then miraculously built an Internet empire of hundreds of billions of dollars. With him as an example, do you really need to ask him this question?
