Chapter 892 I Want to Eat a Piece of Meat!

Why did Elon Musk attach so much importance to Li Mu? He even took the initiative to send favors on the other side of the ocean. It was nothing to do with favors. He couldn't wait to come to Huaxia to have an interview with Li Mu. What was his idea?

Not only Li Mu can't figure it out, but other people can't figure it out either. ┡

On rough thinking, there seem to be many possibilities, but after careful scrutiny, the assumptions made are basically unreliable.

Just when everyone was a little confused, Brother Liu said: "I don't know much about Elon Musk, but I've heard about paypa1 for a long time. They are showing up overseas. Will they be looking for you this time? Do you want to use Muye Technology to enter the domestic market?"

Li Mu said: "If Elon Musk doesn't know that I have Taobao and Alipay, or don't know about these two products, it may be possible, but people like Elon Musk should have done their homework in advance, and he must Knowing that I not only have Muye Technology, but also Alipay, in this case, how can I let his paypa1 come in, if he really wants to come in, he shouldn't be looking for me."

Senior Brother Liu nodded: "That's right, this kind of person should do their homework before implementing the plan."

Lin Qingya asked Li Mu at this time: "Mr. Li, this Elon Musk should be much worse than you right now?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "His paypa1 should be worth more than a billion dollars, but his shareholding should not exceed 20%."

Lin Qingya said with a smile, "That's far worse than you, so I think he must be asking for you, that's why he is so active."

Li Mu asked her, "What do you think he wants from me?"

Lin Qingya said: "Speaking nonsense, it must have something to do with money. To be sure, there are actually only a few motives he can have."

After speaking, Lin Qingya said again: "Either I want to invest with you, or I want to borrow money from you, or I want to find you to do business, these are just a few possibilities."

Li Mu frowned, as if he had caught some key point from Lin Qingya's words.

At this time, Cult Master Lei suddenly realized, and blurted out: "I probably understand!"

Li Mu hurriedly asked, "Mr. Lei, what do you have?"

Leader Lei said: "If I remember correctly, paypa1 started negotiations with eBay some time ago, right?"

Li Mu didn't pay much attention to the situation of paypa1 before yy became popular among overseas elites, but in my memory, eBay's official acquisition of paypa1 should be something this year, maybe in the next one or two months? Now should be in the critical period of negotiations.

At this time, Master Lei said again: "I think Elon Musk is looking for you because he wants to sell paypa1 to you!"

Li Mu was stunned.

"Sell me paypa1? How can I afford it? That's more than 10 billion RMB."

Leader Lei smiled and said: "All the big Internet giants in the United States are half capitalists, and their entrepreneurs know more about capital operations than ours. I have several reasons for this consideration."

"First, Elon Musk is a great man and a businessman. Since he and other founders want to sell paypa1, they must strive for maximum profit;"

"Secondly, there are not many potential big buyers for paypa1 now, including ebay and amazon, but obviously the enthusiasm of ebay is higher than that of amazon, so this is the reason why paypa1 has been discussing acquisitions with ebay;"

"Third, yy is very popular in the United States now, and it has created such a big response in the US market and such a high daily recharge flow. The valuation must have skyrocketed, and Elon Musk must know that Makino Technology is planning to raise funds recently. round, so he knows very well that even if you don’t have enough money to acquire paypa1 now, once you get financing soon, I believe you will still be able to acquire paypa1;”

"fourth,

Also the most important point, I think Elon Musk is the future of yy and Makino Technology, so if Makino Technology is interested in acquiring paypa1, then he definitely doesn't want Makino Technology to acquire it in cash. The best thing is to be acquired by Makino Technology. Technology adopts the model of stock + cash mergers and acquisitions, and rides on the soaring rocket of Makino Technology;"

"Fifth, for Elon Musk, the cost of a trip to Huaxia is very low, but it can bring huge pressure to ebay. Once ebay thinks that Muye Technology may reach a cooperation with paypa1, it will definitely Force them to raise the price of paying for paypa1. After all, ebay not only has to worry about paypa1 slipping through its fingers, but also worry about Taobao in your hands, worrying that you will use paypa1 to make Taobao overseas in the future! So for Elon Musk , he only needs to come to China, no matter what the outcome is, he will win, if you reach an agreement, his profits can be maximized; if you can't reach an agreement, ebay will also give some extra premiums to ensure The successful acquisition of paypa1."

Leader Lei's comprehensive analysis made everyone think quietly after listening to it. Li Mu also scrutinized Leader Lei's judgment in his heart.

Elon Musk is a smart person. He took the initiative to give yy the highest rating and the highest priority, and he took the initiative to help yy promote it in the United States. In fact, there is no cost to pay, but he really made a lot of money here. So he said he wanted to come to Huaxia to see him, and he agreed without any hesitation.

In addition, Elon Musk does this, even if he doesn't get a positive response from himself, it doesn't matter. As an intermediate payment channel, paypa1 endorses yy in the US market, which itself is releasing a kind of love to the US market. The atmosphere of ignorance, especially a company like eBay, will definitely be more anxious in the case of aypa1 and Makino Technology. If Elon Musk comes to China to meet him, it will only be more for eBay. anxious.

After pondering for a moment, Li Mu's heart became clear, and the leader said with admiration: "Mr. Lei's analysis is very in-depth, I think your speculation is 90% possible."

Others also very much agree with the speculation of the leader of Lei, because no matter what the speculation is, it is the most tenable.

Leader Lei smiled at this time: "Thanks to President Lin's reminder, I can figure out the key."

Lin Qingya said a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Lei, you are too polite, I'm just throwing some bricks and attracting jade..."

Brother Liu laughed and said: "You two should not be humble, now is not the time to be humble, we have to think about it, if Elon Musk really wants to sell paypa1 to Muye Technology, then whether it is necessary for Muye Technology to sell Take it?"

paypa1 is the largest and most mature payment channel in the world. There is no doubt about it. If such a behemoth in the payment field can be swallowed up, it will indeed greatly improve Muye Technology. No one will question this, but The most important thing is that the valuation of paypa1 is too high. At present, if Makino Technology stands up again and rushes in the overseas market, it is estimated that it can stand on the valuation level of 40 to 50 billion yuan. Of course, it is not ruled out that the capital market is extremely extreme. The rush to give the possibility of a very high premium.

However, 40 to 50 billion yuan, corresponding to about 6 billion US dollars, Li Mu and other shareholders will not accept too much dilution, so they can raise 600 million US dollars, and the acquisition of paypa1 will cost more than 1 billion US dollars, and the hole is still there. very large.

What if the hole is big? If you don’t have money, you can only use shares to make up for it. I believe that Elon Musk also has this idea, in exchange for some cash, and then incorporate paypa1 into the Muye technology system. In the future, Muye technology will take off, and paypa1 will also take off, and sell it to eBay in one breath. It is much better to have nothing to do with each other, and there will be more room for imagination. However, if Li Mu buys paypa shares with half of the cash and half of the shares, he will also dilute the shares to the paypa1 team.

This ratio is too high!

Paypa1 is awesome, but Li Mu is not sure, because he wants paypa1 to be useless right now.

In other words, in the next few years, paypa1 will be useless to Muye Technology, and if you give paypa1 to yourself now, paypa1 will probably die in your own hands soon, the reason is very simple, there is no strong platform support .

If you want to maintain the market share of payment channels, you must rely on e-commerce platforms. In the past life, Alipay survived and grew bigger because it can rely on Taobao and Ali. The online transaction volume of these two platforms alone is not enough. It is enough to make Alipay a world-class payment channel in terms of transaction volume. The reason why paypa1 can shine in the future is inseparable from the global development of eBay in the previous few years.

If Alipay does not have the support of Taobao Aliba, this payment channel will gradually become lonely, because other e-commerce platforms will definitely build their own payment channels and will not be controlled by others in the payment issue. At that time, the value of Alipay itself It will become lower and lower. When users can't use Alipay payment on many platforms, they will naturally give up it gradually and choose other;

Because of this, Li Mu felt that he had no ability to support the huge payment channel of paypa1 on a global scale. With the little flow of Muye Technology alone, he could only be one of the countless paypa1 access companies. He wanted to support it. paypa1 is far from enough. If you take paypan, a global e-commerce company like this will definitely open its own payment channel immediately. in the hands of the business.

And Li Mu also has self-knowledge, he can push yy overseas, and use an excellent explosive product to make a fortune, but he will not be able to push Taobao overseas in a short period of time, or even in the next few years, the cost is too high Heavy, without the support of more than 10 billion US dollars, it is basically a nonsense to want to go to the country to do a big e-commerce, so paypa1 is even more meaningless to me, what about him?

Therefore, if Elon Musk wants to sell paypa1 to Li Mu, Li Mu will definitely refuse, but Lei is right, it is very likely that Elon Musk himself knows that Li Mu will refuse, but it doesn't matter, he this time It is with the mentality of "friendly touch of porcelain", Li Mu has already agreed to meet, and as long as the two meet, Elon Musk will have the capital to find eBay, or force eBay to take the initiative to sell more benefits.

Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn't help smacking his lips, shook his head and sighed: "Elon Musk is really not an ordinary person, no matter how he requisitioned me every time."

After speaking, Li Mu smiled helplessly: "But it doesn't matter. After all, they gave me a favor first, and I have to return it to him."

Leader Lei sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity that we are not strong enough to digest such a behemoth as paypa1."

Li Mu nodded: "No matter who paypa1 is sold to, as long as it is sold to a powerful global online trading platform, it will definitely become bigger and stronger. After a few years of incubation, it will definitely be no problem to split it up and go public in the future. of."

Brother Liu couldn't help but say: "If paypa1 has a suitable parent sports, it must be at least a $10 billion big product, right?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "There is no problem with three or five billion dollars."

Senior Brother Liu looked regretful: "Hey, this feels like knowing that there is a little girl who will be very beautiful in the future, but now you can't get your hands on it... I'm really sorry..."

Li Mu was startled, his chin almost dropped to the ground, and he blurted out: "I'm stupid, Senior Brother Liu, your thoughts are very dangerous! Don't have such thoughts! Be with Sister Xiaojing, and stop worrying about those comparisons. Do you know that a little girl in your teens or twenties has violated the criminal law!"

Senior Brother Liu was taken aback for a moment, and said, "I'm going, where do you want to go? I'm just making an analogy. How can someone like me be really interested in girls who are 10 or 20 years younger than me..."

Li Mu's face was full of caution, and he said, "Beware of flashing your tongue when you talk big!"

Senior Brother Liu felt very inexplicable. He didn't understand why Li Mu had such a big reaction to his metaphor.

Li Muxin said that in the future, I really need to guide Brother Liu's three views. In the future, don't openly marry a girl 20 years younger than you, such a big entrepreneur, this matter is not open.

After reading this, Li Mu felt that Brother Liu's metaphor was a bit interesting. Now he knows that he can't afford paypa1, and it's useless to receive it, but it hurts the flesh. You must know that this product will be worth at least 50 billion US dollars in the future. It's worth $1.5 billion now, and if you miss it like that, it probably hurts to think about it in the future.

At this time, Li Mu kept banging on the table, as if talking to himself, and said in a loud voice: "Grandma, you said that I can't swallow it all, so let me bite a piece of meat down. I didn't want to take it all, I just wanted to eat a piece of meat!"

The other people, Mu Chou's heart-wrenching look, couldn't help laughing out loud. Their boss was really stunned by paypa1.

Li Mu frowned and thought about it for a long time. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration. When everyone was very relaxed, he suddenly slapped the table: "Oh! I thought of it!"

Others looked sideways: "Mr. Li, what did you think of?"

Li Mu said excitedly: "Do you have this possibility, when Elon Musk comes, once he proposes an intention for me to acquire or acquire paypa1, I will stabilize him first and let him and his partners not We are in a hurry to sell paypa1, and then we pull them, or they pull us, and both parties go to negotiate with ebay, so that ebay does not think about buying paypa1 wholly, how good is it for the three parties to cooperate and hold shares in paypa1? "

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard it, and a look of surprise appeared on everyone's face.

Speaking of this, Li Mu's eyes also had a wolf-like light, and he said excitedly: "If you think about it, even if we have Taobao in addition to Muye Technology, we still have nothing to do with a personal auction platform like eBay. Conflict, and the globalization of Makino Technology is so fierce now, eBay's goal is also a global exhibition, as long as everyone shares in paypa1, we can use paypa1 as a link to join yy and ebay to jointly develop in overseas markets for mutual benefit, I think this proposal , eBay should also be excited?"
