Chapter 1532 Windows-Live Release

It's nine o'clock in the evening in London.

When the salon is at its busiest, Bill Gates has been a little absent-minded.

Although he basically didn't have any contact with Li Mu in the second half of the salon, his attention was inevitably focused on Li Mu.

In this salon of entrepreneurs gathering, Li Mu became the most concerned person. The Internet industry itself is a sunrise industry, and Li Mu occupies a lot of resources in this sunrise industry, so almost every businessman present is I was trying to find some inspiration from the conversation with Li Mu.

Seeing others make money easily is a heartbreaker for these capitalists, and they will never hesitate if they have the opportunity to mix it up.

After dealing with the Macmillan family, Davidson came to the salon. He held a glass of champagne and sat beside Li Mu. While apologizing to Li Mu for the Macmillan family, he promised Li Mu that the future would be in Li Mu. During these days in England, he would not let any member of the Macmillan family appear in front of Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded and suddenly asked him, "Davidson, have you been involved in the sports industry?"

"We have a couple of golf courses in the UK, and then we run some golf-related sports and the rest are gone," Davidson said.

Li Mu asked him, "The Premier League is so influential, why haven't you done it?"

Devinson said with a smile: "The football industry, currently there are two relatively large areas in the UK, one is TV broadcasting and the other is football clubs. I will not talk about TV broadcasting. It is difficult for external capital to enter. As for clubs... the Premier League is very popular. , but the income from investing in clubs at this stage is actually not high. The capital behind British clubs is basically divided into two categories. One is the long-term survival of the club, and the other is the foreign capital that does not rely on the club to make money, such as just bought Chelsea's Abu, when he invested in Chelsea, he was ready to be unprofitable for the next ten years, and he may not be able to take care of his own profits and losses even after fifteen years. In the past ten years, he still needs to continue to invest every year. Such a business, unless it is a Love football, otherwise nobody would do it."

Li Mu asked him, "What if I also want to buy a Premier League club?"

Davidson was stunned for a while, then asked, "Mr. Li really wants to buy a club?"

Li Mu nodded: "Buy one to play with, like Abu."

Davidson said with a smile: "Actually, the financial situation of major clubs is not very optimistic at this stage, so if the bid is right, most clubs will be willing to make a move.

However, to be honest, I advise you not to jump into this pit rashly. A football club is a bottomless pit of funds. "

Li Mu smiled and said, "If Abu Du can afford it, I believe I can afford it too."

Starting a football club was an idea that Li Mu suddenly came up with tonight.

The stupid dog of George Macmillan was talking nonsense in front of him, but there was one sentence that touched Li Mu's heart.

The difference in the strength of Chinese football has indeed made FIFA and the clubs of the five major leagues hate it.

FIFA also hopes that China, the country with the largest population, can regularly enter the World Cup. Last year, the historic appearance of the World Cup between Korea and Japan in China made people see the huge market of football in China. However, FIFA would not have thought that, In the next ten years, China will never be able to return to the World Cup finals.

The same is true for clubs in the five major leagues.

The five major league clubs all hope to introduce Chinese players. This is mainly to open up the Chinese market. Yao Ming, who just joined the NBA last year, has begun to open up a larger market space for the Rockets and even the entire NBA in China. Everyone in the football field is also looking forward to it. Such a day.

However, what is embarrassing is that the overall level of Huaxia players is indeed weak. The players who can be selected by the five major leagues are already very few, and most of them are difficult to have a good performance after reaching the five major leagues.

George Macmillan said that Manchester United has decided to introduce a player surnamed Dong from China, and that should be Dong Fangzhuo. He should be the only Chinese player who has joined Manchester United in the history of Chinese football, but his experience at Manchester United has not been the same. Not so happy and lucky, but a process of rapid decline, which not only has his personal problems, but also the problems of the Premier League environment and the importance of the club to him.

Some Chinese players with strong ability and aspirations have to face many problems after joining the five major league clubs, including language problems, living habits problems, inability to keep up with the training rhythm, exclusion of players, and the lack of trust in the club. In fact.

An 18- or 19-year-old Chinese young man has just graduated from high school even if he has been in school. His English level is definitely not at the level where he can communicate in daily life overseas, not to mention that an 18- or 19-year-old football player has to sacrifice himself. Spend most of the study time on practice, so if a person comes to the Premier League, the language barrier alone will make him isolated, and it is more difficult than other players to really adapt and grow at the club. many.

If there is a five major league club operated by Huaxia Capital, then regardless of whether the club can make money or not, first of all, it may become a bridgehead for Chinese football players to receive higher-level experience overseas.

If Li Mu bought Chelsea, he would first set aside a part of the resources from the club's youth training camp, trial camp, and even the second and first teams for Chinese football players. Second, he would set up a professional club in Chelsea. Our translation team ensures that after Huaxia players come here, their own development will not be delayed due to language problems in training and life.

In this way, in the clubs you invest in, there will be no situations in which Chinese athletes sign contracts with the five major leagues but can only sit on the bench, or are directly assigned to other countries to play small leagues. Anyone who is capable and willing to go further in football The farther away a Chinese football player is, his own club can give him enough opportunities to grow.

In Li Mu's eyes, the atmosphere and environment of the domestic league is distorted, and it is also not healthy enough. If you really want to cultivate excellent football talents, it is basically hopeless to rely solely on the domestic league. Otherwise, it is impossible to continue until more than ten years later. To reach the World Cup again.

Therefore, if I can really build an overseas stage for China's talented football players now, I may be able to send several first-class players to China Football in the future.

After all, Muye Technology started in China, and has received great favor from the Chinese people. It is also its bounden responsibility to be able to give more returns to the domestic people in many fields.

Davidson has now understood Li Mu's intentions. He now has so many profitable business lines, and there is absolutely no need to make money by acquiring football clubs. On the contrary, acquiring football clubs may be more of a pastime for Li Mu. More importantly, Owning a top football club can bring many better opportunities for Chinese football players.

So, Davidson said to Li Mu, "Mr. Li, I'll help you find out in the past few days. If there's a suitable club, I'll have someone sort out as much information as possible and send it to you."

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you so much."

...

10pm London time.

Microsoft has officially started its own show.

Promotional advertisements for the indos-Live software package began to be released on many Internet platforms in Europe and America.

The officially released indos-Live, including MSN, online game platform, MSN official website and MSN blog, almost completely overlaps with the YY ecology of Makino Technology.

However, Microsoft's advertising slogan is still full of gimmicks. The advertising slogan they gave to indos-Live is: Make-your--life-better, give you a better Internet life.

In this advertisement, Microsoft not only bragged about its product ecology, but even bragged about MSN's Blog, claiming that it has redefined Blog, and this Blog will bring a subversive experience to netizens around the world.

But just when the ad was just launched, Makino used YY to push a piece of news to users around the world. The headline of the news was: "The new platform Titter is about to be released, and here is the world you want."

At this stage, no one's ability to put on the Internet is as good as YY.

More than 90% of online users have opened and browsed this news. What shocked them is that in this news, there is an atlas, which contains a large number of photos of top singers and stars, and these singers are holding on the photos A piece of handwritten white paper with a sentence prominently written on it: I am waiting for you on Titter!

No product has ever been able to gather such a large-scale top star for its endorsement or promotion. More importantly, these stars will not only promote for Titter, but they will also become the first batch of star users to stay on Titter, which makes users more interested in Twitter. This new product, which will be launched in an hour, is full of anticipation.

On the other hand, indos-Live, which has just been widely promoted, most users choose to ignore it. The reason is extremely simple: in the whole indos-Live, there is no bright spot that attracts them, every product and every experience in this ecosystem. , users can get it in YY, and their stickiness and loyalty to YY is far beyond Microsoft's own estimation.

In addition, every product and update of Muye Technology has never disappointed users, so users are naturally full of expectations for Titter. At this time, almost no one pays attention to Microsoft indos-Live, and no one pays attention to Microsoft's so-called renewing. Defined Blog.

Microsoft's marketing team keeps following up on the results of each launch. Sadly, it is found that the open rate of each launch is less than 10%, and the jump rate after opening, that is, the users who jump to Microsoft's official download link, is less than 5% of users who open it, and in this 5%, only 20% of the people who can actually download it.

This also means that Microsoft spends $100,000 to place indos-Live ads on a certain platform, and only 100,000 effective views are exchanged for 1 million impressions, and after the 100,000 people open, only 5,000 people will jump. Go to Microsoft's official download link, and among the 5,000 people in the end, only 1,000 users downloaded this product.

This set of data is simply overwhelming.

Moreover, as time passes by, the closer it gets to the launch of Titter, the worse Microsoft's conversion rate will be.

At half past ten, at the salon, when Bill Gates' assistant whispered a few words in his ear, his expression immediately became extremely ugly. Without a word, he got up and left the salon.

Li Mu looked at the back of Bill Gates leaving quickly, and from his back, he could see his panic at the moment.

It seems that MSN is making a comeback this time, and it will fail before it starts!
