Before Larry Page came to Li Mu, he had planned to invite Li Mu to invest in Google. Whether it is Li Mu individual shareholding or Muye Science and Technology shareholding, for Google ’s core management and the capital behind, it is a big news Good thing.
The superficial cooperation comes and goes quickly, just as in the history of the East and the West, they all like to use marriage to enhance political stability. Cooperation between enterprises needs a strong bond. This The bond is built on the basis of business and human relations. They are not reliable enough. Business will change, and human relations will change. The only thing that does not change is capital.
The cooperation between Google and Yahoo was also very close. Both sides are mutually beneficial and can be regarded as a model of a good partner. If Yahoo did not use Google in the early days, Google could not have achieved such a rapid development rate. Yahoo wanted to acquire last year. Google, but Google is also restless, all the way to increase the price to 6 billion USD, and finally Yahoo gave up this rare opportunity.
Now, Yahoo has set his sights on the search engine, although Yahoo has not yet announced, but according to Google's understanding, Yahoo has now begun to develop the search engine, once it consciously ready, it will inevitably follow Google Part ways.
For Larry Page, even if Li Mu promised to provide search traffic to Google today, this kind of cooperation is rootless water, which cannot bring real security to Google. The best solution is to let Li Mu Share, and then sign a cooperation agreement.
Li Mu also sees Larry Page ’s urgent need for traffic. Yahoo is about to make trouble, and he wants to go public next year. If he can get stable search traffic from his own hands at this time, he has the capital operation of Google. Very large help, it is likely that because of its own flow guarantee, Google will directly increase hundreds of millions of IPO next year, or even increase the stock price by a few percentage points.
So, when Li Mu said that he was a shareholder of Baidu, he thought to himself a little bit of Larry Page. If he wants traffic, let me first buy Google.
Larry Page really started, and even offered to Li Mu an invitation to buy shares.
So, Li Mu asked Larry Page, "Larry, does Google's board of directors have any initial intentions, if I bring traffic, how much will Google be willing to dilute to me?"
One point and two points Li Mu is definitely not worth seeing. Even if Google will have a market value of hundreds of billions of USD in the future, Li Mu will not be able to see it as one point or two points.
Larry Page is also unambiguous. Whether it is him or the Google board of directors, what he is thinking about is a quick and smooth listing. Embracing the thighs of Li Mu's, they also understood that they were reluctant to let the children catch the wolf.
Followed, Larry Page seriously said to Li Mu: "Chief Li, if you can promise to open the search portal for Google on YY and YY network, and keep it unchanged for five years, we are willing to dilute five points, these five At this point, we will give you a valuation of 6 billion USD. "
Finally, Larry Page added: "The current valuation of Google is around 10 billion USD."
Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Larry, open the search entrance for Google and keep it unchanged for five years. Will you agree to this for you?"
Larry Page looks at Li Mu's's eyes dodged a bit, and after a while the pretence said with confidence, "I will agree, because this is an additional benefit for me."
Li Mu shook his head. After a while, he stared at Larry Page's eyes and said very seriously: "Larry, if you open the search entrance for Google in my most important product and keep it for five years, then you What I got from me is not only five-year traffic guarantee, but also five-year safety guarantee! If I promise you, Muye Science and Technology will not be able to get involved in search engines in the next five years. After all, my most important products hang on your Entrance, I will search again at this time. Isn't that why I smashed my own rice bowl? "
Larry Page did n’t know how to answer for a while. Li Mu was right. If he agreed to this condition, the most valuable thing is not that he provided traffic to Google for five consecutive years, but that he was unable to engage in search engines for five years. If placed in wartime, this is equivalent to a five-year non-infringement treaty, and its value is inestimable.
For a moment, Larry Page said seriously: "Chief Li, if you have any objections to this time, then we can still discuss it, and it is not impossible to shorten it properly. For four and a half years, you ... … "
Li Mu did n’t wait for him to finish, he reached out to interrupt him, and said very seriously: "Larry, my objection is not a matter of the length of time, but how much you are willing to pay for this time window. Let me be clear about the problem. In your cognition, you must pay me a protection fee! "
Using the protection fee to describe although is very street culture, but it is very appropriate. Google naturally knows that it is impossible for Li Mu to sign a competition agreement, clearly stating that Muye Science and Technology is not a search engine, so they want to use this kind of restraint to let Li Mu has no way to do it, or it is difficult to get started, but Li Mu is not vegetarian, Google sells a few shares at a low price, and it is not attractive enough for Li Mu. This is not the more he has richer appetite. Big, but too little, he simply couldn't look down.
Larry Page hesitated for a moment and said, "Chief Li, if this is the case, we can lower the valuation appropriately as compensation, what do you think?"
Li Mu shook his head slightly and said, "Larry, Muye Science and Technology is currently the world ’s largest internet company with the highest traffic, and no one is as active as our users, nor as loyal as our users. In theory, Muye Science and Technology is much easier to do any internet products and models than other companies, so you can see that the two simple games we made can bring huge profits beyond all the Online Games in the world; we do online music, just a few days to hit Apple iTunes collapsed. "
Li Mu is here, deliberately paused and said to Larry Page: "If one day Muye Science and Technology decides to be a search engine, how long do you think we need to be able to overtake Google? Like we overtake Apple in the music field . "
Larry Page feels a little embarrassed about the issue of Li Mu, but he still said with a three-point toughness: "Chief Li, the search engine is actually a product model with very strong technical requirements. Technical basis, there are many sets of very precise logic algorithms, and then based on the algorithm to cater to users and advertisers, this set of things can almost be regarded as the highest technical threshold in the current internet industry. "
Li Mu smiled and asked him: "Do you think we don't have the technical strength to be a search engine?"
Larry Page hastily explained: "I just think that if Muye Science and Technology invests a lot of technical costs in search engines, it will have a great impact on its own business development. In the old saying of China, yes I picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon.
Li Mu said: "You are wrong Larry, if I do a search engine, I do n’t need to invest a lot of technical costs to re-develop, I just need to take over the Baidu technology. although I am not the big one of Baidu. Shareholders, but I can tell you that if I want the full set of Baidu technology, I will be able to get it and it will be available in minutes. "
Larry Page was surprised, but there were ten thousand unbelievers in his heart.
Baidu is also a technology company. For technology companies, technology is the most important asset and dependence. It is impossible to authorize others. Li Mu said it is a fantasy, unless he put Baidu A wholly-owned acquisition, otherwise such a thing cannot happen.
Li Mu saw that Larry Page did n’t believe in himself. He laughed, looks at Larry Page, said: "Larry, whether you believe it or not, what I want to tell you is, as long as I promise to robin now He opened the full set of technology to me, I promised that Muye Science and Technology swimming will not touch the China search engine market, and continue to guide him in China, robin will book the earliest flight from the United States and fly to sign with me. Do you believe it? ? "
WTF ...
Larry Page's horror.
And in his heart, he has fully believed what Li Mu said. If Li Mu really reached such a sharing agreement with Baidu, then Baidu will definitely agree, because for Baidu, they simply have no ability to hit the overseas market.
At this time, Li Mu lamented: "Robin, one of the great advantages is that he can see the reality clearly. He knows that Baidu has no ability to open up foreign markets at present, nor can it compete with Google in overseas markets in the future. Not only that, even in the domestic market, Baidu has to worry about the invasion of Google, but also worry that a giant such as Muye Science and Technology will one day grab his rice bowl. If I promise not to compete with him in the China market, he will certainly be content to fully develop the domestic market At the same time, I will never covet the overseas market. In that way, I can cooperate with him intimately. He uses Baidu technology for the China market, and I use Baidu technology for markets other than China. Everyone does not interfere with each other. There is no conflict, and they can even improve and progress each other. "
Speaking of which, the Li Mu's expression suddenly flirted, looks at Larry Page, ready to give him a senior threat, then said with a laugh said: "Larry, you may think that the search engine technology of Baidu is still worse than Google. Some, but you also need to know that for most users, the product with the highest comprehensive score of convenience and practicality is the most popular. "

In fact, the reality is that as long as McDonald ’s pizza is not bad , He will soon be able to steal the first-year university student block market from pizza specialty store; "
"If he happens to be able to learn a full set of techniques for making delicious pizza from another professional pizza shop, the market space he can occupy is even bigger!"
"In this competition, Muye Science and Technology is McDonald's, and the search engine is pizza. As for Google, it is said to be the best-made pizza specialty store, but fortunately, the gap between the second and yours is not big!"
