Chapter 281

Li Mu signed in with his company name, and then followed other participants to the internal conference center. The conference center of this star-rated hotel is very large and can accommodate at least 1,000 people. There are four doors on both sides, and the front row is a stage. , behind the huge ink-painted background reads: Yanjing 2001 Internet Conference.

There are at least two or three hundred tables and chairs neatly placed under the stage. Each table has a card with the name of the company written on it. On the stage, there is a separate podium, on both sides of the stage. , each with ten cards placed in a fan shape facing hundreds of seats. The cards placed on them are very delicate. Some of them are marked with the name of the leader of the information department, and some are marked with the company + name.

Li Mu glanced at it, and found that the ten tables on the left side of the stage were reserved for celebrities.

NetEase, Sohu, and Sina, the three CEOs of Internet companies listed on Nasdaq, are all listed. Although NetEase is in the penalty period of being suspended by Nasdaq for four months, it still does not affect its influence in China. In addition, there are Yahoo, Microsoft, and hardware manufacturers such as Lenovo, IBM, and Hewlett-Packard.

Looking at this ranking, Li Mu couldn't help but sigh that since his rebirth, the biggest Internet person who has dealt with is Baidu's President Li, but now in the domestic Internet field, Li Mu can only be regarded as second-rate.

The current front line is still Ding Lei, Zhang Chaoyang, Wang Zhidong and other bigwigs, the big bosses of the future bta troika, in front of the three of them can only be regarded as junior-level characters.

Li Mu took the seating list provided by the organizer of the conference and saw that the seat number of Muye Technology was 212. According to the seating arrangement, it was in the middle of the second row. Li Mu looked at the two companies beside him and was immediately happy after reading it. . 211 is Baidu, and 213 is Xu Jiaming's venture capital firm, Mingcheng Capital.

It is normal to be next to Baidu. After all, Baidu was invited to the conference through Baidu. But it was very interesting that Mingcheng Capital also got close to him. It must be Xu Jiaming who deliberately switched to this seat.

Li Mu was looking at the seating chart. A hand was suddenly placed on his shoulder, and when he turned his head, Xu Jiaming was smiling and looking at himself: "I don't even say hello to this conference. Fortunately, I suddenly had a whim yesterday, and I asked someone to ask if there is Muye Technology on the list, otherwise it will be all over the place. I didn't know you were coming over today."

Li Mu said with a smile, "Is this time you arranged it?"

"Yeah." Xu Jiaming said casually, "I just said hello last night."

Li Mu nodded, thinking that Xu Jiaming was also magnanimous.

Xu Jiaming said at this time: "You can be careful today, Muye Technology will definitely be watched by the heads of these companies participating in the conference today."

Li Mu asked him, "Is it because of the explosion of Tieba and Qba?"

"yes.

"Xu Jiaming said: "Your Muye Technology is now the most concerned company in the Internet investment circle. The influence of Tieba has really frightened people in the industry. After this incident, Tieba will definitely go to a higher level and will soon become a national hotspot. This time Tengxun is really a wedding dress for you. "

Li Mu smiled helplessly: "As expected, you guys are the most well-informed about VCs."

Xu Jiaming laughed and said, "After this incident is over, quickly strike while the iron is hot to melt the B round, and you will definitely be able to estimate a good price."

Li Mu smiled lightly: "Let's take a look."

On the surface, although it seems that he is not in a hurry about the B round, Li Mu has been thinking about the B round financing.

Makino Technology is about to usher in a blowout development. The B-round financing has to find relationships and backers, so there are several principles for the B-round financing. First, you cannot accept investment from Internet companies, and second, you cannot accept financing from overseas investment banks. It is best to find investors with strong background connections. It doesn't matter even if you suffer a loss, quickly pull a backer to join the team, in order to keep yourself safe after the take-off of the B round in the future.

Li Mu has also thought carefully about who to invest in the B round of Muye Technology. Xu Jiaming has been showing all kinds of favors to himself. His original intention is to invest in Muye Technology. However, although Xu Jiaming's family seems to be very powerful, However, Xu Jiaming's status in the Xu family was a little bit more difficult. Last time his cousin Xu Jiahua slapped his face in the bowling alley, he basically had no ability to resist.

However, Chen Ze is a son of an official family. In Yanjing, the relationship is deep, and he is more temperamental with himself. If he can come in, Muye Technology will have a solid background and relationship, but Chen Ze is definitely not able to directly invest in Muye Technology. He has to find a spokesperson just like when he invested in sugarclub. From this point of view, Xu Jiaming is Chen Ze's best endorsement candidate, if the two of them are allowed to come in together in the B round, it will also be a good thing for Muye Technology.

As soon as Li Mu and Xu Jiaming sat down at the seats corresponding to their respective company names, several people hurriedly gathered around them, asking about Li Mu's position in Muye Technology, and even took out business cards to exchange with Li Mu.

I don't know who suddenly said: "The people from Muye Technology are here."

So, more people gathered around.

Many people who have already arrived have been staring at the position of Muye Technology, waiting for the people of Muye Technology to appear. There is no Internet company whose popularity can be compared with that of Muye Technology recently, and Muye Technology has always been very low-key in the industry, quite popular. The sense of mystery makes people in the industry more interested in the managers behind it.

A lot of people gathered around and wanted to exchange business cards, but Li Mu had never printed a business card, so he had to say to the people around him, "I'm sorry everyone, I haven't printed business cards yet, but I will definitely keep your business cards and bring them back to the company. ."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's interest in Li Mu suddenly decreased a lot. Li Mu's words could easily make people mistakenly think that he was just an ordinary employee who was arranged to walk the stage for the company. The reason why everyone was interested in Muye Technology at the conference site, More want to strengthen the boss of Muye Technology, but no one guessed that the young man in front of him is the boss of Muye Technology.

However, there are also sharp-eyed people who stared at Li Mu for a long time and said, "Oh, aren't you the same Li Mu that was covered all over the TV station some time ago?"

As soon as these words came out, a group of people who had lost interest in Li Mu gathered around again.

Someone asked Li Mu: "Li Mu, aren't you involved in 3321? Could it be that you are also involved in Muye Technology?"

A person next to him said, "Muye Technology, Muye... Li Mu, isn't it possible that Muye Technology was also founded by you?"

Knowing that people in the industry are well informed, Li Mu really wanted to uncover the bottom line of Muye Technology and he couldn't hide it at all, so he nodded generously and admitted: "Thank you for your care, Muye Technology was indeed founded by me."

This time around twenty or thirty people were stunned.

Although it had been expected, when Li Mu said these words, it still made many people feel unbelievable.

Li Mu became famous in the Internet field because of 3321. The exposure of that project in the media was too high, so people in the industry remembered Li Mu's name because of 3321, and knew that this kid has created a platform for college students' tutoring online transactions. , but stupidly announced that 3321 would not make a penny in profit, and put all the net profit into the student fund.

At that time, many Internet people sighed bitterly. A super high-quality project with stable profit and strong cash flow was not made to make money. What animal kicked Li Mu's brain? I didn't expect that there are still big projects that make money secretly. Before Muye Technology was split, it was worth at least 300 million to 400 million yuan. Although there has been a certain decline after the split, the recent Tieba incident has such a great influence, enough to Let the capital side re-examine the valuation of Tieba, maybe there are VCs who are willing to give the valuation before the split.

A 19-year-old young man made a great website by himself, but unfortunately it doesn't make money. This story will make people in the industry sigh and sigh, and it can also help people in the industry to find a psychological balance. Geniuses are also stupid when they are stupid, and stupid geniuses are not recruited. envy.

But now, the story has changed. The genius is not stupid to make money from 3321, but there are other ways to make money, 3321, Muye Technology, YiTing Technology, these three projects are all his own, These three websites together are enough to crush most of the "famous people" in the industry who are present today, and even throw those famous personal webmasters in China to a distance of 108,000 miles.

Baidu's President Li also came at this time. He squeezed through the crowd in surprise, only to find that the focus of the crowd turned out to be Li Mu.

Goodbye Li Mu, Mr. Li has mixed feelings in his heart. He originally thought that Li Mu's post bar would suffer heavy losses in front of q bar, but he also thought of taking advantage of the fire when he was invincible to q bar. Just gave q bar a loud slap, and this slap was slapped in front of the people of the whole country, which is equivalent to the colleague who was slapped by q bar, and also helped Tieba complete an unprecedented large-scale exposure, now it's good , The popularity of Tieba has not only skyrocketed, but even the traffic has also been rising, which is a shocking reversal.

Mr. Li has always asked Tan Yaocheng to monitor the data of Tieba. From the incident of the explosion of millions of people to the present, the traffic of Tieba has increased by an astonishing 30%. Attributes and a large amount of high-quality content were converted and retained. This result made President Li annoyed. Baidu just converted the shares from Tieba to Yiting.com, why did he suddenly jump up?

Others may not see the clue of the million-person explosion, but Li always knew it well. He knew that this incident must have come from Li Mu, because he knew that Li Mu had already raised a Douban forum under his control. A large-scale network of navy has been formed inside.

"This kid is really good..." President Li looked at Li Mu with complicated eyes and sighed in his heart.

Wait a minute, Li Mu is so shrewd, how can he be stubbornly obsessed with the ghost of a navigation website? (To be continued.)
