Chapter 780 Is It Okay to Stand in a Team?

? Lei Jun usually dresses very casually. He wears casual clothes most of the working time, and only wears formal clothes for very formal occasions. Tian "Lai Xiao" said

Today, Lei Jun still wears a T-shirt, slacks, and sneakers when he goes to get off work. But when he is about to get off work, he has changed into a short-sleeved shirt, trousers and business shoes in his office. His assistant is holding the documents. After knocking on the door and entering, I was startled by Lei Jun, who had just changed his clothes.

"Mr. Lei, are you going out to socialize?" The assistant brought the document to Lei Jun and asked with a smile.

Lei Jun smiled slightly and said, "There will be a very important dinner later."

Lei Jun didn't tell anyone about the meeting with Li Mu, nor did he tell the partners of Kingsoft and Lenovo, because he knew very clearly that neither of the two companies wanted to continue to adhere to Joyo. Zhuoyue.com made a move, and the only person who wants to keep excellence is himself, so he must first listen to Li Mu's conditions and quotations.

If the person who did not want to sell Joyo.com recognized Li Mu's conditions, Kingsoft and Lenovo would definitely not have any hesitation.

The assistant was a little surprised at this time, and said with a smile: "If you can wear such a formal dinner, the other party should be a big man, right?"

Lei Jun nodded, smiled helplessly, and said, "It's really a big man."

Li Mu is 20 years old. At this age, in any industry, he will be labeled with a big hat of four words: stinking.

However, 20-year-old Li Mu is already a godfather in the Chinese Internet industry. In this industry, no one can compare to him.

Before Li Mu came forward, if the domestic Internet industry had to be divided into three, six, nine, and so on, then based on the current domestic situation, at least four steps could be divided.

The first step is definitely the returnees or the overseas capital relations group. For example, the three companies in BTa are all overseas capital, and then Sina, NetEase, and Sohu are all companies that have successfully listed in the United States;

As for the second step, it is basically other well-known companies that have not yet been successfully listed, such as Dangdang, Jinshan, Zhuoyue, and eBay;

At the third step, there are a lot of small and medium-sized enterprises that have just survived;

The fourth step... is basically those personal webmasters who are a little bit famous.

After Li Mu's strength was fully exposed, Muye Technology and Taobao.com were no longer two companies in the industry. They were both parts of Li Mu's ecological chain, so Li Mu, as the behind-the-scenes boss of several companies, naturally became The new first step is also the only member of the first step. To put it bluntly, it is the most powerful one, no one.

Right now, Li Mu's influence in the Internet industry is much stronger than either of the two horses in 2016, because the two of them can still stand apart, but at the moment, Li Mu is standing on the top of the mountain alone, watching the people under his feet fight. .

It is because of Li Mu's influence that Lei Jun, a person who has always been confident, can't help but feel a little nervous before going to the appointment.

Li Mu and Liu Yingdong went out to the agreed hotel ahead of time after discussing logistics on Taobao, but they did not expect Lei Jun to arrive half an hour earlier than them.

This is the first time that Li Mu has met Lei Cult Master in real life. Before, he had either seen him on the news or seen him on Xiaomi's various conference videos.

Compared with him in 2o16, the Lei leader in 2oo2 has not changed much except that he is much younger, and even the shape has not changed much, just the most common partial head shape, it seems that he has not done much for more than ten years. changed.

The first time he saw Cult Master Lei, Li Mu was a little excited, but he kept comforting himself in his heart. Although Cult Master Lei was awesome, he had seen some things in the world after his rebirth.

For example, I used to talk and laugh with Li Yanhong, and even President Li is still chasing after he wants to buy EasyTing Technology. Another example is to win Senior Brother Liu as a partner, and devote himself to his project all day long. In terms of assets and corporate strength, the two of them are not inferior to Master Lei, so why should they be nervous when they see him.

Li Mu's relief played a very good role, at least his performance didn't seem to be nervous at all, but it was that Cult Master Lei, who had met Li Mu for the first time, was somewhat nervous that he couldn't hide.

After meeting with a few polite words, Li Mu shook hands with Cult Master Lei and said with a smile, "I've heard Mr. Lei's name for so long, and today I finally have a chance to meet him."

Lei Jun said hurriedly and humbly: "Mr. Li is too polite. Compared with you, my grades are still below the pass line."

Li Mu is also modest: "I'm just lucky, I don't have enough experience in the industry, and I still need to learn more."

Listening to the two of them being humble, Liu Rongdong couldn't help but feel a little big. One of you failed, one is inexperienced, what about me...

It happened that Li Mu introduced Liu Rongdong to Lei Jun at this time, and said, "Mr. Lei, let me introduce to you. This is the general manager of our Taobao.com. He is also my partner and fellow schoolmate, Liu Rongdong."

Lei Jun nodded again and again, and took the initiative to shake hands with Liu Rongdong: "Mr. Liu's name is also well-known in the industry! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

After the three of them were seated, they didn't rush to order food, but chatted politely for a while. Although it was the first time they met, Leader Lei's speech and demeanor were no different from the leader Lei in Li Mu's impression. Standard Mandarin made Li Mu feel more cordial.

The reason I feel cordial is because in my last life after 2012, the more high-profile Chinese Internet bosses, except for Boss Ma, is the leader of Lei.

After Xiaomi's use of hunger marketing became popular, Lei's media exposure has always been high. There are many interviews, speeches, conferences and activities, and there are also many positive and negative news reports.

The more contact with this kind of multi-faceted information, the easier it is for people to have a general understanding of it. On the contrary, it is Senior Brother Liu. In addition to the well-known emotional story, this old brother has been published in the media. Rarely appeared on the Internet, it is difficult for people to figure out the approximate number of this person through his public remarks and performance.

The three chatted for a while, and although they didn't get to the point, they were quite happy.

Afterwards, Li Mu invited Master Lei to order food. Because it was a vegetarian meal, everyone would naturally feel that they had few desires when they saw the menu. This kind of food and environment could make people more focused on the business.

Beginning with Master Lei, the three of them each ordered some exquisite vegetarian dishes, and then asked the waiter for a pot of good tea. Before the dishes were served, the discussion at the dinner table had already begun.

Li Mu came here today for three purposes: to get to know the leader of Lei, to acquire Zhuoyue.com, and to win over the leader of Lei to do something together.

The first purpose is to be reached naturally when we come, and the latter two depend on whether the two of them can reach a unified consensus.

Li Mu didn't have any ink, and after he started talking about business, he went straight to the topic and said to Master Lei, "Mr. Lei, the Taobao.com that I did with Brother Liu is interested in increasing investment in book audio and video. You should also know that in terms of audio and video products, Taobao With the authorization of almost all record companies, and other resources to assist, coupled with the overall ecology of Taobao platform, this business is still very imaginative."

It is also Li Mu's usual routine to talk about things first, and to pretend before talking about things. After admiring the leader of Lei, you should not be too coercive at all. You must first give him a sense of oppression.

Leader Lei did feel a huge sense of oppression because of Li Mu's words. He wanted to protect Zhuoyue, but his reason told him that Zhuoyue.com was shrouded in Taobao's huge figure, so he must follow the trend. Now As soon as Li Mu came up, he indicated that he would increase the efforts in the audio-visual aspect of books, and his attitude of pressure was very obvious.

Master Lei tried his best to keep himself relatively calm, and said to Li Mu with a smile: "Taobao is a genius-level product, especially the ecological chain formed by Taobao, Alipay and yy is great in the current e-commerce market, I believe Under the leadership of Mr. Li and Mr. Liu, Taobao will definitely create more remarkable achievements."

Li Mu smiled slightly and said indifferently: "Mr. Lei, for Taobao.com, the focus of the next stage is not actually on books, audio and video, but on our self-built logistics and warehousing plans. Now these two plans have been implemented. As for the book audio and video business, I prefer to integrate relatively mature vertical platforms, such as the Joyo.com you are doing now."

Lei Jun nodded and said: "Joyo.com does not exclude cooperation at the capital level. We are also looking for the next round of financing. If Taobao is willing to invest in Zhuoyue, I think this is a win-win situation for us. ."

As early as when Lei Jun heard that Li Mu wanted to see him, he guessed that Li Mu must want to acquire Joyo.com, but he still had an unrealistic fantasy in his heart. What if he could persuade Li Mu to give up the acquisition and invest instead?

In the case of acquisition, Li Mu would have wasted time and energy to carry out in-depth integration of Zhuoyue's stand. Besides, the book and audio-visual market space is not large, Li Mu does not need to monopolize it at all, he just needs to invest some money and resources to let Zhuoyue stand in line Wouldn't it be enough to be a part of his ecological closed loop? If such a goal can really be achieved, then Joyo.com will surely take off.

After many large enterprises reach a certain scale, they all lead the team to fight. Every slightly mature Internet company has experienced at least two or three rounds of financing. The capital structure behind it is quite complicated. The operation of full acquisition is the most difficult, and it takes up The resource level is too large. For some less important fields, it is indeed not necessary to complete the acquisition. It is enough to let all potential companies stand in line in advance.

The future generations of Xiaomi also carry a large number of ecological chain companies that rely on their own survival, not to mention companies like Tengxun and Ali that invest money everywhere, take a certain share, and bind the other party to their own fleet. , Under normal circumstances, it operates independently, and obeys the command at critical moments. As long as it can fight where it is pointed at the critical moment, it is basically enough, and everyone can worry about it.

Lei Jun felt that Li Mu might also accept this cooperation model, not to mention that the future leader Lei has not yet reached that level, so at this moment, he is very willing to bring the excellent website team.

However, Li Mu refused almost without hesitation. He just smiled slightly and said to the leader Lei very seriously: "Mr. Lei, Taobao's only appeal to Joyo.com is to package and purchase, that's all."
