In order to give Larry Page a little sweetness, Li Mu, in accordance with past practice, gave Google a relatively favorable investment terms.

He said to Larry Page, "Larry, although the shareholding ratio of ≈ap;g company is 60% and 40%, but the capital contribution ratio is 70%, Google only needs to pay 30% to enjoy the benefits. 40% of the shares."

Larry Page knew that this was an extra reward from Li Mu, probably because he was very happy to agree on this matter.

Thinking of this, Larry Page regretted a little.

What I regret is not that I agreed to cooperate too happily this time, but I regret that I should not have been tough with Li Mu at the beginning.

After a long time of contact, I realized that Li Mu is completely soft and not hard.

If he wants ten points, if he obediently gives him ten points, maybe he can return two or three points, but if he wants ten points, he will not give them life or death, and in the end he may pay thirty or even forty points.

Moreover, this person is too strong, hard and soft, front and side, and he is not his opponent at all. If he knew this, he didn't even need to be strong, he just compromised and cooperated with him happily.

However, things are done, and naturally there is no chance to go back and start over again.

So, Larry Page didn't show any courtesy to Li Mu, and said seriously, "Thank you, Mr. Li!"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said lightly, "It's all my own, you're welcome."

Being a person of his own, Larry Page suddenly felt a sense of finding an organization and a backer.

Some people may be able to become the richest man in the world if they keep carrying it all by themselves, but if someone gives him a safe haven in the middle, he may not want to leave halfway through.

At this moment, Larry Page has undergone a huge change in his heart. He feels that it is not necessarily a bad thing to work closely with Li Mu and even rely on Li Mu to develop.

For example, Google's current valuation is much higher than before Li Mu became a shareholder.

At this time, Li Mu said to Larry Page again, "By the way, I suggest that we set up a new company immediately, and then use the new company to discuss the acquisition of keyhole, and stop using Google to come forward."

With that said, Li Mu explained, "Google's listing is imminent. If it is rumored that we will cooperate with a new company before the listing, then I believe that it will be a great incentive for the market and will help Google's stock price to rise rapidly after listing. ."

Larry Page's eyes lit up.

What Li Mu said was the effect of creating momentum.

Since starting my own business, although I have a lot of experience in the Internet industry, I am not experienced enough in capital, finance and stock market.

Li Mu has been exposed to all kinds of news in later generations, and he has a clear understanding of the laws of capital.

Generally speaking, if a listed company suddenly enters into cooperation with a larger company, even if it just signed a contract, it will have a great effect on the stock price.

Because the financial market is very sensitive to information and prospects, when a little good news comes out, market confidence will immediately become stronger, and stock prices will rise accordingly.

On the eve of the IPO, Google suddenly released the news that it would cooperate with Muye Technology to establish a new company. Once the news is released, the market's pursuit of Google will definitely be higher and stronger. This is the secret of hype.

Excited, Larry Page couldn't help but ask Li Mu, "Mr. Li, when do you think it's more appropriate for us to release this news?"

Li Mu said, "Didn't you arrange a private party tomorrow night? Just make it public and invite a group of reporters from top media to attend. At that time, the two of us will personally tell the media about our cooperation. Come, the credibility will not be questioned.”

When Li Mu said that he was willing to speak out about his cooperation with Google in front of the media, Larry Page was immediately excited.

This is something that I have not dared to ask for before.

original,

Some of the gatherings of friends in the industry before the listing, if they are made public, will bring a better reputation to the company, especially the big bosses like Li Mu will also participate. As long as the public hears that Li Mu is participating, their confidence will increase a lot. .

But Larry Page was worried that Li Mu might not be willing to face the media for Google, so he made a private party.

Unexpectedly, Li Mu actually took the initiative to be willing to disclose it, which is really too face-saving.

Thinking of this, Larry Page also strengthened his judgment just now.

For a person like Li Mu, one has to be obedient in order to obtain the greatest benefit!

...

The convoy came to Manhattan in the heart of New York City.

Google specially reserved a presidential suite in a top-star hotel for Li Mu here.

Manhattan is the center of New York and the most expensive place in New York.

It is extremely prosperous here and is known as a paradise for the rich. Wall Street and Broadway are all here, and every inch of land is expensive.

Here, a 100-square-meter apartment is more expensive than a thousand-square-meter villa in the suburbs.

Here, a top-level super-flat mansion can even be worth tens of millions of dollars and hundreds of millions of RMB;

Here, you can do almost anything with money, you can build your mansion to the top of a skyscraper, you can design an infinity luxury swimming pool on the top floor, and you can even play golf on the top floor.

The hotel Larry Page chose was right next to Central Park in Manhattan. From Li Mu's room, he could see the entire Central Park and even the entire Manhattan.

This time, Google invited many celebrities to the bell ringing ceremony. Many people came from all over the United States, and even some people, like Li Mu, came from overseas.

These people, without exception, all stayed at the hotel where Li Mu stayed.

However, there is only one presidential suite in the hotel, which was already reserved for Li Mu.

Although the pervasive media did not know what Li Mu and Larry Page talked about, they all knew that Li Mu had come to New York.

For a time, all kinds of news headlines in New York and Wall Street were all about Li Mu.

"Li Mu has arrived in New York!"

"The arrival of Li Mu has made the entire Wall Street move."

"Li Mu will participate in Google's bell ringing ceremony on Nasdaq!"

"Li Mu's trip may be to explore the way for the future IPO of Muye Technology!"

"Wall Street tycoons sharpen their heads, just to meet Li Mu."

When Li Ziwei reported these news headlines to Li Mu, Li Mu didn't care too much.

In fact, Li Mu had long since given up on these news.

Li Ziwei's emotion gave Li Mu a new inspiration.

She said, "Mr. Li, I think with your influence, if you also auction lunch, it must be much more expensive than Buffett's lunch."

Li Mu asked curiously, "How much is the highest price for Buffett's lunch?"

Li Ziwei said, "This year, I got $250,000 on eBay."

Li Mu nodded lightly and said with a smile, "Then I'll take a dinner shot later, and the starting price will be set at $1."

Li Ziwei asked in surprise, "Really? Are you joking?"

"Of course not." Li Mu said with a smile, "This kind of auction is actually quite interesting. It can not only increase one's influence, but also bring a lot of traffic and exposure to the auction platform and restaurant."

After speaking, Li Mu thought for a moment, and said, "Well, call Lei Jun and ask him to change the English version of Taobao to 'Taobao International', and then let him communicate with Elon Musk and accept the paypal payment. Come in, I will put the dinner on Taobao International for auction, and the auctioneer can pay with PayPal or Alipay."

Li Ziwei's eyes lit up and smiled, "In this way, Taobao International will probably become popular all of a sudden."

Li Mu smiled and said, "The fire is only temporary. Taobao has not yet reached internationalization, and international logistics is not so convenient. I am afraid that it has no practical value for overseas users."

Speaking of this, Li Mu changed his words and said, "But it's good to build momentum first, to lay the foundation for the future."

Li Ziwei nodded, "Then I'll call Mr. Lei!"

...

At this time, Taobao has divided into three business groups from the perspective of internal strategy, namely

Taobao business group, Taobao logistics business group and Alipay business group.

The main person in charge of the Taobao business group is Lei Jun, and Taobao logistics is naturally in charge of Liu Shixiong. As for Alipay, it has not yet reached a good time for rapid development. Its entire function is to cooperate with Taobao as the support of payment channels. Therefore, most of the time is under the unified coordination and management of Lei Jun.

Originally, Senior Brother Liu was in charge of Taobao. After Lei Jun came in, he gradually split, reorganized, split and reorganized, so that Senior Brother Liu’s own powers and scope of functions were relegated to the second line.

Brother Liu has a great thirst for power and a strong desire for control. What he hopes most is that Li Mu will hand over the entire Taobao to himself, but he did not expect things to develop to this point.

In this regard, Brother Liu was actually somewhat dissatisfied. He thought about having a good chat with Li Mu several times, but in the end he had to give up this year, because he knew that although Li Mu was his own junior brother, and Taobao also had his own shares , but Li Mu will never get used to his own faults.

Starting a business with Li Mu is not as simple as starting a business by yourself. What Li Mu requires is the obedience of the team.

In other words, Senior Brother Liu knew in his heart that Li Mu's desire for control was stronger than his own, so he could not satisfy himself on the premise of satisfying himself.

Just this morning, he was in a meeting with Lei Jun and several other executives to discuss the efficiency optimization of Taobao and Taobao logistics.

Halfway through the meeting, Lei Jun's secretary suddenly knocked on the door and came in, saying, "Mr. Lei, Mr. Li's assistant is looking for you, but he can't get through when he calls your cell phone."

Lei Jun said, "Oh, I left my phone in the office before the meeting, go and get it for me."

"OK."

Soon, the secretary returned and handed Lei Jun's cell phone to him.

At this time, Li Ziwei called again.

Lei Jun hurriedly answered the phone, and Li Ziwei on the other end said, "Mr. Lei? I'm Li Ziwei."

Lei Jun hurriedly said, "Hello Assistant Li, do you have anything to do with me?"

Li Ziwei said, "Mr. Li is now in New York. He wants to hold an auction, an opportunity to have lunch with him. I hope you will cooperate..."

Immediately, Li Ziwei told Li Mu's request.

When Lei Jun heard this, he said excitedly, "That's great, that's great! Please tell Mr. Li, and I'll arrange manpower to work overtime to solve this problem!"

After hanging up the phone, Lei Jun immediately told Li Mu that he was going to auction dinner, and took the opportunity to talk about Taobao International.

The other executives in the conference room were all excited, only Senior Brother Liu, who was on the side, was a little bit intrigued.

Lei Jun seems to be very valued by Li Mu now, but he has been reduced to a position where he concentrates on building logistics...
