Chapter 908 Dual-Track Cooperation

Li Mu has indeed stole the limelight from Boss Ma several times, and the pressure on Mr. Ma has been out of breath. The time for Le Tao to go online has been delayed again and again, but then again, Li Mu has absolutely no intention of targeting him this time.

This time, it was because eBay, the sponsor, had an urgent need, so the press conference was made so hastily and such a big deal. To be honest, how could Li Mu still care about what Boss Ma was doing.

In other words, Boss Ma’s Letao is worth tens of millions of dollars at most. PayPal is currently worth 435 million dollars, and it might be 4.35 billion dollars in ten years. In front of such a large plate, nothing is worth it.

But Boss Ma doesn't think so. He doesn't know that Li Mu actually has a gold owner like eBay behind him. He only knows that Li Mu wants to control #, so in this case, Li Mu can hold a press conference whenever he wants, but suddenly he has to Today, it is very likely that he knew his actions in advance and did it deliberately.

Boss Ma was so angry that he started the promotion of the major media at 8 o'clock tonight. This is written in the contract with the major media. The entire promotion rhythm has been set and must not be changed. If Li Mu makes a big deal today When the news comes, if hundreds of media are competing to report and attract the attention of a large number of audiences, then the effect of their own promotion will inevitably be greatly reduced.

In fact, he has only engaged in a dozen TV media, print media, and offline promotion in no more than 20 cities, and his influence cannot compare to the rhythm of domestic and foreign media like Li Mu.

William Young Yang from Amazon has always been against Boss Ma, but he is so strong that he doesn't overwhelm the locals. Boss Ma tied Li Guoqing and the two to deal with him together, so that he was extremely passive in Letao.

When Yang William received the news, he immediately came to Boss Ma's office and criticized Boss Ma, saying, "I told you, Jack! You must increase your investment in publicity! In the end, it's better for you, don't be afraid. If Li Mu makes another big news today, the effect of your eight-day promotion plan will be greatly reduced at least for the first three days!"

Boss Ma glared at him and said in a bad tone: "Mr. Yang, even if I spend all my money for promotion, I may not be able to cover all the media that Li Mu invited for today's press conference. Next, we should be glad that we did not invest enough, otherwise the loss will be even worse!"

Yang William sneered and said, "Whatever you say, I don't want to discuss with you who is right and who is wrong. Eight days, eight million users are guaranteed by you, I just look at the results!"

Boss Ma said coldly: "You can only look at the results. If you are not satisfied with the final results, you can apply to Amazon to go back to the United States."

"You..." Yang William heard what Boss Ma meant, saying that he only deserves to know the result and Amazon only deserves to know the result, but no matter what the result is, neither he nor Amazon can affect him, because Amazon has no words in Letao right.

The annoyed Yang William also knew that it was meaningless for him to continue entanglement with him, and he could only wait for him to fail before attacking, so he angrily scolded Boss Ma in his heart and left his office angrily.

After Yang William left, Boss Ma sat back on his chair feebly, leaned back instinctively, found the most relaxing spot, and closed his eyes with a long sigh.

Needless to say, it can be guessed that Li Mu will occupy the domestic media and the attention of the whole country again today, and the media promotion of Letao happens to start tonight, which is indeed a big blow to him.

But Boss Ma knows very well that this time, all the rhythms have been fixed. Letao is like an overloaded train, carrying himself and the expectations of the entire Alibaba Bar, carrying the huge capital of Softbank, and also carrying With the capital of Amazon and Dangdang.

This heavy-duty train, once the speed increases, it is impossible to stop,

Therefore, Boss Ma must be mentally prepared to bite the bullet.

Lu Zhaoxi knocked on the door and came in. Seeing Boss Ma's tired face, he hesitated for a moment and said to Boss Ma, "Mr. Ma, the website is undergoing the final test, would you like to take a look?"

Boss Ma said, "Isn't it six o'clock in the afternoon? I'll look at it later, I'm not in the mood right now."

Lu Zhaoxi nodded and said, "Then tell me if you have any comments after reading it. I'll go out first."

Boss Ma hummed, but when Lu Zhaoxi was about to open the door, he stopped him and asked, "Has any of my friends from the media been to the Muye Technology Press Conference?"

Lu Zhaoxi said, "I don't know yet, I'll call and ask."

Boss Ma nodded and said: "Let's ask, if there is any, let the other party help to pay attention to it, if there is any substantial progress, send a letter immediately, we have to know what Li Mu is going to announce today, and then evaluate the evaluation. Look at the impact of his press conference."

Lu Zhaoxi immediately said, "Then I'll ask now. If there is, let them give us feedback as soon as possible."

"Well, let's go!"

...

At this time, Li Mu, who was far away in Yanjing, was sitting in his office, signing a contract with Zheng Xigui, a representative sent by eBay.

The loan agreement between Muye Technology and eBay has been signed. Zheng Xigui and Li Mu exchanged the contract and said to Li Mu with a smile: "Mr. Li, after I go back today, I will ask someone to scan the contract and send it back to the United States. After confirmation by the US headquarters, it will take two to three days. Payment is complete."

Li Mu laughed, stretched out his hand and shook Zheng Xigui, and said, "I hope eBay and Muye Technology can go hand in hand and create brilliant future together."

Zheng Xigui nodded and said with a smile: "At the press conference later, after the two parties sign the contract, we will cooperate sincerely and we will surely create greater brilliance!"

Having said that, Zheng Xigui added: "This is not only a matter of our two companies, but also a major event shared by Huaxia Internet and American Internet. This should be the first real cooperation between Huaxia Internet companies and American Internet companies. Such a large-scale cooperation will definitely add a lot to each other!"

Although Zheng Xigui's words are a bit exaggerated and very sloppy, his content is not exaggerated at all. Huaxia and American Internet companies have not had such in-depth cooperation, and no Huaxia Internet company can take a stake in one. Li Mu, a well-known American Internet company, definitely created a precedent.

Before Li Mu, Huaxia Internet was very much like the revolutionaries at the end of the Qing Dynasty in Huaxia. Some people came back to the revolution with Japanese money, some people came back with American money, and some people came back with Russian money. Development also requires overseas capital to provide start-up funds. In this case, how can the Chinese revolutionaries have the ability to go overseas.

However, Li Mu is different. Li Mu founded Muye Technology and Taobao.com. He has not yet received a penny of investment from overseas capital. Even if the Series C financing has plans to take US capital, with Li Mu's current strength, he has completely passed the "you". Sponsor Me Revolution" stage.

The fundamental reason why Li Mu is looking for U.S. capital in the C round is because: I will soon reach your doorstep, and I need to find a powerful chaebol in the local area to cooperate with both inside and outside.

Li Mu said to Zheng Xigui: "It is rare that the person in charge of eBay sent to Huaxia is Mr. Zheng, you are a Chinese person. In the future, we will maintain close contact between the two companies in the cooperation and communication between the two companies."

Zheng Xigui nodded hurriedly: "Of course! I will come to harass Mr. Li every now and then in the future."

Then, Zheng Xigui remembered another thing and said to Li Mu, "By the way, Mr. Li, the CEO of our headquarters, Ms. Whitman, has a message that I hope I can convey to you in person."

Li Mu said, "Please speak."

Zheng Xigui said: "Ms. Whitman means that there will be no direct business conflict between eBay and Taobao in the future. I also hope that everyone can cooperate sincerely in overseas markets and maintain this dislocation development in the domestic market."

Li Mu immediately understood that Meg Whitman was expressing her position to herself, hoping to eliminate competition. In the future, the cooperation between eBay and YY on PayPal, as well as the mutual cooperation in overseas markets, will naturally be beneficial but not A good thing, but the situation in the domestic market is special, because Meg Whitman knows that Li Mu not only has Muye Technology, but also Taobao.

Taobao's positioning is B2C and C2C e-commerce, which is very different from eBay's model. In Meg Whitman's view, eBay will naturally not get involved in Taobao's business in the future, but I don't want eBay to be a baby. Being crushed by Li Mu, everyone is a good partner in the overseas market, and there is no reason to fight in China.

Li Mu feels that Meg Whitman has given him a lot of benefits this time. The loan of 435 million US dollars has solved many problems. Although Meg Whitman is also forced by the situation, this love Li Mu has to take it to a certain extent, and he has to give Meg Whitman a special favor.

So Li Mu said to Zheng Xigui: "Mr. Zheng, please convey this to Ms. Whitman. As a partner, I will not let Taobao get involved in the current eBay business line. Don't worry about that."

Zheng Xigui felt relieved, this couldn't be better.

The cooperation between eBay and Muye Technology is a standard two-track cooperation. The Huaxia market is one line, and the market outside China is another line. The two lines adopt completely different cooperation strategies.

In the Huaxia market, the two sides do not pursue cooperation, but only for a clear distinction and not to touch each other. However, in the overseas market, the two sides must be tightly bound together, cooperate in depth, and jointly conquer the city and conquer the overseas market.

The two had just finished talking about business, when Lin Qingya knocked on the door and came in, and said to Li Mu, "Mr. Li, Mr. Musk is here, we and the executive company are going to let the media reporter friends come in in another half an hour, do you have anything else to order? "

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Have you prepared the fare, gifts, drinks, and snacks?"

Lin Qingya smiled and said, "Of course these have already been prepared."

Li Mu nodded, spread his arms above the back of the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, and said domineeringly: "In this way, you will pay the media friends in advance, and then give them some air. Let's just say that this time Muye Technology Make world-class news!"
