Chapter 1497 Industrial Upgrade
At ten o'clock in the morning, the signing ceremony officially began.
This is the largest public business event held by Muye Technology since its establishment. The number of on-site media reporters is very large, and it is the largest one in the major event conferences of domestic companies.
The stage is quite grand. In the center of the large stage, there are three tables and three chairs. Each table has a name tag. Li Mu is in the middle, Robin is on the left, and Larry is on the right. · Page.
When the time came, the host walked up to the stage alone, and the originally noisy and chaotic scene quickly quieted down.
At this time, the host said in a very solemn broadcasting tone: "Ladies and gentlemen, all the entrepreneurs and media friends present, thank you for participating in the signing ceremony of the merger between Muye&Baidu and Google in the United States. It's the host of today's signing ceremony, Bai Song."
After the host finished speaking, he bowed ninety degrees to all the guests in the audience.
Due to the large number of media and guests coming from overseas today, Muye Technology has specially invited a top simultaneous interpreter to synchronously translate Chinese to English and English to Chinese in real time according to the language used by the host and speaker. Work.
After the translators finished the instant English translation, the host continued: "As for the theme of today's ceremony, everyone should already know, Google has decided to use its own 33.3% shares as the price to complete the acquisition by Makino. Muye&Baidu, a joint venture between Tech and Baidu.”
After a pause, after the translation, the host added: "Today's merger has created many records. It is the largest merger and acquisition case since the establishment of Google, and it is also the merger of Makino Technology and Baidu since their establishment. Fang participated in the largest merger and acquisition. In addition, Muye&Baidu is also recognized as the fastest growing company in the world in terms of market value. It was acquired with an investment of 10 million US dollars to an equivalent valuation of at least 3 billion US dollars. Just a month..."
When talking about this, the domestic media and the guests couldn't help laughing out loud. Li Mu has indeed created a record, the fastest and most hated record of the empty-gloved white wolf in the world. For Li Mu, this record Of course it's something to be proud of, but for Larry Page, I don't know what kind of mood he is in now.
Soon, when the translator translated this sentence into English, those overseas media and guests also laughed and applauded. The reason why Li Mu is sought after by global entrepreneurs is not only that he can quickly build a huge Internet empire, More importantly, he has made all kinds of amazing operations in Muye Technology all the way to today, the most praised of which is the acquisition and privatization of Apple, and the sale of Muye&Baidu to Google.
When the applause from the audience subsided,
The host said: "Ladies and gentlemen, here, I would like to introduce to you the three protagonists of our signing ceremony today, they are Mr. Larry Page, the founder and CEO of Google; the founder and CEO of Baidu, Mr. Robin; and the founder and CEO of Makino Technology, Mr. Li Mu.”
Every time the host recites a name, there will be warm applause from the audience.
After the introduction of the three people, the host said: "Next, let's applaud Mr. Larry Page and invite Mr. Larry Page to the stage!"
The applause sounded again. Larry Page, wearing black trousers and a white shirt, walked quickly from the side of the stage. As soon as he appeared, the media and guests from the West stood up and applauded. In their eyes, Larry Page He is also a legend who has changed the world, but in front of a great god like Li Mu, his halo is a little dim.
After Larry Page took the stage, the host handed over the stage to him, Larry Page walked to the center of the stage, held McCann and said with a smile: "To be honest, after so many years of entrepreneurship, this is the first time I have personally participated in it. With such a big battle, it makes me a little nervous."
The audience burst into laughter, and Larry Page added: "I am very honored to come to Huaxia and Yanjing this time, and I am also very honored to represent Google here with Muye Technology and Baidu. This is a significant strategic cooperation.”
"Google has always been committed to making the Internet world more convenient, Baidu is in line with our goal on this point, and Muye Technology, a great company that truly changes the entire Internet world, is Muye Technology that allows netizens around the world to truly experience When it comes to the major trend of global informatization, it is also Muye Technology that allows netizens all over the world to cross the farthest distance on the planet and integrate with each other through a single network cable, and it is our honor to be able to cooperate with such a great enterprise."
Thunderous applause.
No one dares to deny the contribution that Muye Technology has made to the global Internet industry. The entire product ecology of YY has made netizens around the world lose their sense of distance, completely changed the pattern of Internet socialization, and also made an indelible contribution to the popularization of the Internet. huge contribution.
At this time, Larry Page said again: "This cooperation between Google and Baidu and Makino Technology, in my opinion, will have a very far-reaching impact on the three companies. In this golden age of rapid development of the Internet, In my opinion, it is the most beneficial solution for the three companies to give up competition and cooperate with each other. Here, I sincerely hope that the cooperation between the three companies can be carried out smoothly forever, so that the three companies can continue to develop. At the same time, it also makes the three companies more intimate with each other.”
Although Larry Page had already fully accepted the fate of being beaten by Li Mu, he still did not want others to look down on him because of this.
There are indeed some remarks now that Larry Page has limited ability, limited courage, and limited level, so he will be pressed to the ground by Li Mu. Li Mu asked him to spend billions of dollars to buy an empty shell, and he only I can nod and agree, so the owner of this kind of remarks describes Larry Page as the number one coward in Silicon Valley, and makes all kinds of cynicism about Larry Page.
That's why Larry Page brewed up such remarks, not only to fight back, but also his true feelings in the recent period.
In Larry Page's point of view, although he was indeed cowardly, the result of coping was very good, so he hopes to change the way these people think of himself, and let them know that he is not a coward, but a sense of current affairs.
After Larry Page's simple speech, Robin, as half of the soy sauce party of the ceremony, took the stage after Larry Page, since Baidu's share of this cooperation was relatively low, and it was completely followed by There are many ways to make money, so Robin's speech is relatively simple, basically praising the cooperation of the three companies, and has great confidence in the future.
When Li Mu was the last to take the stage, the atmosphere at the scene reached its highest point. In the few minutes from when the host said his name to when he stepped on the stage, the applause at the scene did not weaken for a moment. The guests also stood up and applauded, expressing their inner respect to Li Mu.
Li Mu occupied the center of the stage for a few minutes, and after bowing to people in multiple directions, the applause gradually stopped.
When the applause stopped, Li Mu picked up the microphone and said with a smile, "Larry said just now that this is the biggest battle he has ever experienced since he started his business, but to be honest, it's the same for me, I've never faced both at the same time. The experience of so many media friends, and many of the Internet industry elites, seniors, and pioneers sitting in the audience, everyone can come here to cheer for the cooperation between Muye Technology, Baidu and Google, and I am personally very moved."
After a pause, after the applause, Li Mu added: "Actually, I also know in my heart that this merger and acquisition cooperation has caused a lot of topics in the market, and it has also caused a lot of controversy. Some people say that Google is taking advantage of it and was slaughtered by me; Some people say that Muye Technology is a bandit who robbed Google; others say that the reason why Google acquired Muye&Baidu is for self-protection. Many people portray me as the biggest robber in the Internet industry, but they ignore a problem, if I It's a robber, why is Larry happier than me? You can see it just now, his whole face is full of red, and he's not in a good state. When he first came to Huaxia to work with me a few days ago, he was completely decadent. Like a down-to-earth tourist who lost his wallet in a foreign country."
There was a burst of laughter from the audience. Larry Page was really excited just now, and he didn't look like he was being robbed at all.
At this time, Li Mu said with a smile: "Actually, I want to take this opportunity to share a concept of mine with the world, that is: the Internet industry looks very cutting-edge, very magical, very revolutionary, but in fact, the Internet industry The model is still at a very early stage, and now is a good opportunity to upgrade the industry, whoever takes this step first will be able to achieve greater success.”
Everyone in the audience stared at Li Mu without blinking, waiting for him to explain the concept of "industrial upgrading".
Li Mu continued: "Looking at the entire Internet industry, the Internet industry model in its implementation stage is very simple. Either you do yours and I do mine; or I want to be yours, and you want to be mine."
"The former will lead to few companies in the industry interacting with each other, and there will be many barriers and barriers, while the latter will lead to endless internal infighting among companies in the industry. Let's look at our current Internet, and Microsoft sees Yahoo as a portal, so they themselves It also wants to be a portal; Yahoo looks at Google to do search, so it does the search itself; and Google may look at Muye Technology to make music, so he also wants to make music, so everyone goes to war, every war is A war of attrition with days of absenteeism, and no peace for all.”
"This is just like we and Google, if we can't reach a cooperation, then Muye Technology will invest huge manpower and material resources to compete with Google in the field of search engines, and Google will also invest a lot of human and material resources to resist the attack of Muye Technology, and ultimately There are only two results, either Google will repel Muye Technology, or Muye Technology will kill Google, but this kind of competition is like the First World War. Each of them sacrificed the lives of tens of millions of soldiers. Even if such a war is won, it will be a tragic victory, and the huge sacrifices on both sides cannot be undone."
"Instead of doing this, it is better for everyone to simply give up hostility, don't spend money on digging trenches, and don't spend money on burning armaments, and then find a way to cooperate that is beneficial to both parties, eliminate competition, complement each other's advantages, and develop together. This is a healthy industry. Model, through such an industrial upgrade, Muye Technology does not need to invest a lot of money to compete with Google, and Google does not need to allocate huge energy on the road of development to deal with the threat of Muye Technology. On the contrary, Muye Technology will no longer Instead of investing energy in building a search engine, it will pour the idle traffic to Google through cooperation, and Google will no longer have to worry about the impact of Muye Technology on him, but use its own products to help Muye Technology realize the imported traffic. , Muye Technology has gained more profits, and Google has also gained greater volume growth, a pure consumption has become a pure mutual benefit, this is a truly healthy industrial model!"
