Chapter 498: The New Demand of 0 Degrees

About to see Li Mu again, Tan Yaocheng's mood is quite complicated. The current valuation of Muye Technology has far surpassed that of Baidu. Back then, Li Mu was just a personal webmaster similar to Li Xingping in his eyes, but he didn't expect him to be so short Within a short period of time, Makino Technology has achieved such a high level.

Tan Yaocheng didn't understand, and couldn't understand, Muye Technology under the control of Li Mu was like a plug-in, like a super player in the legend with full map coordinates and vision. Compared with him, other companies are like those Players at the bottom have no map, no coordinates, and only a little bit of vision illuminated by candles. In order to find a place, they may have to detour through the entire map.

From the beginning to the present, Muye Technology has taken one step at a time, and every step has shocked the entire Internet industry. He is not even 20 years old this year. No one knows how much development space Muye Technology will have in the future.

What hurts Tan Yaocheng the most is that Baidu withdrew from Muye Technology and replaced 20% of Yiting.com's shares with Muye Technology's shares. Looking at it now, this is simply exchanging watermelon for a sesame seed, and the loss is extremely heavy.

Now, Tan Yaocheng is under the order of President Li to contact Li Mu about the shares of Yiting.com. The golden age of MP3 search has begun. If Baidu can't integrate Yiting.com, it will really miss this excellent It's a good time. With the current influence of EasyTing.com, Baidu has no way to ignore it and do MP3 search directly. If Baidu does this, Li Mu will definitely fight against Baidu.

For Baidu, the best way is to acquire more shares of Yiting.com from Li Mu, to achieve absolute control as soon as possible, and then be able to directly integrate Yiting.com.

The two were about seven o'clock in the afternoon, and Li Mu was a little late for seven or eight minutes. When they arrived at the restaurant, Tan Yaocheng had already waited for half an hour.

As soon as they met, Li Mu said sorry to Tan Yaocheng: "I'm sorry, Mr. Tan, I'm too busy and delayed for a while."

Tan Yaocheng smiled slightly, pushed his glasses and said, "You are very busy now, with so many things to do at hand, I will be very satisfied if you have time to see me."

Li Mu sat down opposite Tan Yaocheng and said with a smile, "But speaking of it, we really haven't seen each other for a while."

Tan Yaocheng nodded: "Who doesn't say, we have been very busy recently. We have just developed a search plug-in for IE. In the future, users can directly enter keywords in IE to search."

Li Mu smiled and said, "You guys are developing very actively in business now. Are there any new directions in other areas?"

Tan Yaocheng said with a smile: "No matter how active our business is, we can't compare to your Muye Technology.

Look at your recent actions, it is too frequent, even QQ has been killed by you. I see that next year, Muye Technology will be the largest Internet company in China. By then, your worth will definitely not be on the rich list. question. "

Li Mu said: "Those are all false, and they can't be found."

Tan Yaocheng said: "Who said you can't get cash? The capital market has given you a valuation of 6 billion, and you can get a sum of cash immediately as long as you nod your head."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Forget it, I don't have the idea of ​​cashing out now. After all, I don't have any money on hand, so why should I refinance to cash out?"

Tan Yaocheng asked him curiously, "Are you planning to raise money before going public?"

Li Mu nodded: "As long as Muye Technology's cash flow is positive, I don't need to raise funds. Immediately, YY will start accepting commercial advertisements, and the income can be increased by a part, and the cash flow is sufficient."

Tan Yaocheng sighed: "I really envy you, even President Li often sighs, we Internet people who came back from overseas think we are the most Internet-savvy people in China, but none of them are as good as you. Now there are so many Internet companies in China. , there are very few who have really found a business model, and you are one of them. YY's income is so stable, which is the main reason why capital is particularly sought after by Muye Technology."

Li Mu said: "You can't only see YY's revenue, but not YY's cost. Our current team of hundreds of people has extremely high labor costs, office costs, and server bandwidth costs."

Speaking of this, Li Mu couldn't help but ask him: "By the way, Mr. Tan, you should know many senior talents in data processing. Could you give me a little introduction and help me set up a few IDCs (Internet Data Centers)."

Tan Yaocheng said, "Are you planning to build a large data center?"

Li Mu nodded: "I have had this idea for a long time, but there have been no high-end talents in this field. Some time ago, our energy was concentrated on the competition with Tengxun. Now is the time to start planning ahead."

In the future, large Internet companies will cooperate with operators to develop their own data centers, which can not only reduce costs, but also provide better server and network support for their products. Li Mu also wants to provide Muye Technology with a strong server support. So this piece has been put on the agenda.

Tan Yaocheng said: "At that time, I can introduce some senior engineers in the industry to you, give you some suggestions, and even help you solve some problems."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Thank you so much, I'll invite you to dinner after this is done."

Tan Yaocheng waved his hand: "our relationship, is it still polite?"

Talking, Tan Yaocheng also began to get into the topic, and said to Li Mu, "Actually, I asked you out to meet today, because there is something I want to communicate with you."

"you say."

Tan Yaocheng said: "That's right, we have also been deeply inspired by Muye Technology recently. We want to develop dependent products with Baidu search as the core. We are very interested in MP3 search. Mr. Li said that you promised him before that within three years. He left Yiting.com and transferred all his shares to Baidu, so he wants me to ask you, can you do a round of equity acquisition first?"

Li Mu asked with a smile, "How much does President Li want to buy?"

Tan Yaocheng said: "Mr. Li means that to value Yiting.com at 500 million, we will acquire 30% of the shares in cash from you and another shareholder."

Li Mu nodded, the quotation of 500 million is not low. After all, it is still difficult to find a profit model in the field of MP3 search, audition and download, and can only do the simplest traffic advertising. Judging from the current traffic of YiTing.com, the advertising revenue The potential is about one or two million per month. Even if there is still room for growth, it is not worth five hundred million in the overall calculation.

If you sell it to other companies, it is estimated that it will be one or two hundred million dollars, but Li Mu will definitely not sell it at this price, and other companies may not buy it if it is higher, but it is different for Baidu. Their core business It is search. Now the demand for MP3 search is increasing, but Yiting.com controls most of the traffic and users. If Baidu wants to increase the volume of its search service, it must take down MP3, a huge source of traffic.

Li Mu asked Tan Yaocheng: "If you control Yiting.com, do you want to use Yiting.com for Baidu's MP3 search?"

Tan Yaocheng knew that he couldn't hide it from Li Mu, so he nodded frankly: "We also need some new businesses now to increase user stickiness."

Li Mu said: "Old Tan, we have a good relationship, but private matters are private matters, and public matters are public matters. If Baidu has this idea, then I will talk about the bad news first. Even if I promise to transfer 30% of the shares to Baidu, I will be the most. It is to let Baidu open a special entrance to Yiting.com, and it will not let Yiting.com in turn divert Baidu's products or make wedding dresses."

Li Mu knew what Baidu was thinking. Baidu wanted to integrate Yiting.com into Baidu's search engine, and they would definitely focus on doing their own MP3 searches, so if Yiting.com was given to them, they would not be able to think about how to integrate it into Baidu's search engine. Yiting.com does a better job, only thinking about how to direct Yiting.com users to their MP3 search section as much as possible.

Tan Yaocheng listened to Li Mu's words so absolutely, and smiled awkwardly: "Li Mu, to be honest, if YiTing.com can't guide our own products, then YiTing.com will be meaningless to us."

Li Mu said: "Why does it make no sense? At least you have 30% of Yiting.com. Even if you can't integrate Yiting.com into Baidu Search, this is also one of your Baidu company's assets. 30% of Yiting.com shares are worth at least 50 million yuan, and it has not been a year yet, and you have already made a lot of money."

Tan Yaocheng said angrily: "If you hadn't driven us off the bus halfway, our five million at the time would be at least five hundred million now!"

Li Mu snorted and said, "Old Tan, even if you open an account with 10,000 yuan to invest in stocks, you are often knocked off by the dealer, not to mention the millions invested in a company? You are out of the market by investing in stocks, and you can only blame your lack of determination. Can you still blame the dealer for being unkind?"

Tan Yaocheng said with a wry smile: "You're right, our will is not firm, we didn't say anything more about this matter, but to be honest, YiTing.com is really not very useful to you now, but to us In terms of meaning, the meaning is different. If you give up Yiting.com to Baidu now, Baidu will definitely be able to give you a greater return in terms of resources in the future.”

Li Mu said: "Lao Tan, who told you that EasyTing.com is not important to me? To tell you the truth, I just did an analysis of the MP3 download market and an analysis of competing products in the same industry. , now that the demand for digital music by netizens continues to rise, it will soon become the first category with the highest proportion of Internet users' search behavior.

Tan Yaocheng looked at Li Mu in surprise and asked him subconsciously, "Do you still have time and energy to study the digital music market?!"

Tan Yaocheng didn't expect Li Mu to have such a clear understanding of the current development trend of MP3. Baidu's own internal data shows that more than 25% of Baidu users' daily search times are related to MP3, and this proportion is still increasing, so MP3 It has become the category with the highest user search behavior, and users' searches in other aspects are all-encompassing, but any category can't be compared with MP3 now.
