Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, update fast, no pop-up window, free to read!

Goodbye to Li Mu, Tan Yaocheng has a complicated mood. The valuation of Muye Science and Technology now exceeds that of Baidu. In his own eyes, Li Mu was just a personal Webmaster similar to Li Xingping, but didn't expect, he was so short. The Muye Science and Technology has reached such a high level within a period of time.

Tan Yaocheng do n’t understand, and do n’t understand, Muye Science and Technology under the control of Li Mu is simply the existence of plug-in, just like a super player with full map coordinates and vision in Legend. Compared with him, other companies Just like those players at the bottom, there is no map, no coordinates, only a little bit of vision illuminated by candles. In order to find a location, you may have to go around the detour to walk the entire map.

Muye Science and Technology is one step at a time from the beginning to the present, and every step shocks the entire internet industry, and he is not even twenty years old this year. No one knows how much room Muye Science and Technology will have in the future.

The most painful thing for Tan Yaocheng is that Baidu withdrew from Muye Science and Technology and replaced 20% of the Easy Music network shares with Muye Science and Technology shares. Now looking at it, this is simply replacing the watermelon with a sesame seed.

Now, Tan Yaocheng is again ordered by Chief Li to find Li Mu to communicate with Easy Music network shares. The golden age of MP3 search has begun. If Baidu ca n’t integrate the Easy Music network, then you really have to miss this excellent It's a good time. With the current influence of Easy Music, Baidu has no way to do it directly and do MP3 search. If Baidu does this, Li Mu will definitely work against Baidu.

For Baidu, the best way is to acquire more shares of Easy Music network from Li Mu's, reach absolute control as soon as possible, and then be able to integrate Easy Music network directly.

The two were around 7pm, Li Mu was slightly late for 7-8 minutes. When they arrived at the restaurant, Tan Yaocheng had been waiting for half an hour.

As soon as we met, Li Mu said sorry to Tan Yaocheng: "Sorry, Director Tan, things are too busy and delayed for a while."

Tan Yaocheng smiled slightly, pushed the glasses and said: "You are busy now, so many things to do, I have enough time to see me, I am already satisfied."

Li Mu sat across from Tan Yaocheng and smiled: "However, we really haven't seen each other in a while."

Tan Yaocheng nodded: "Who does n’t say, we have been very busy recently, just developed a search plug-in for IE, users can enter keywords directly in IE to search."

Li Mu smiled and said: "Your business is very active now, are there any new directions in other areas?"

Tan Yaocheng smiled and said: "Our business is not as active as you Muye Science and Technology, you look at your recent actions, it is too frequent, even QQ are killed by you, I see next year, Muye Science and Technology is The largest internet company in the country. By then, you will definitely have no problem on the rich list. "

Li Mu said: "These are all virtual and cannot be realized."

Tan Yaocheng said: "Who said there is no cash out? The capital market gives you a valuation of six billion yuan, and you can immediately set aside a cash as long as you nod your head."

Li Mu said with a smile: "Forget it, I don't have the idea of ​​cashing out now. After all, I don't have any money on hand, why do I need to raise cash again."

Tan Yaocheng asked him curiously: "Are you planning to stop financing before going public?"

Li Mu nodded: "As long as Muye Science and Technology's cash flow is positive, I don't need to raise funds, and immediately YY starts accepting commercial advertisements, and the income can increase a part, and the cash flow is enough."

Tan Yaocheng sighed: "I really envy you. Even Chief Li often sighs. Our internet people who came back from overseas thought they were the best people in China who understand internet, but they are not as good as you. Now there are so many in China. internet company, really few business models, you are one of them, YY's income is so stable, is also the main reason why Muye Science and Technology is particularly sought after by capital. "

Li Mu said: "You can't just see YY's income, but don't see the cost of YY. Our team of hundreds of people, the labor cost and office cost are both high, and the server bandwidth cost is also high."

Speaking of this, Li Mu couldn't help but ask him: "By Director Tan, you should know a lot of senior talents in data processing. Can you introduce me a little and help me set up several IDCs (internet data centers). "

Tan Yaocheng said: "You are planning to build a large data center?"

Li Mu nodded: "I have had this idea for a long time, but there has been no high-end talent in this area. Our energies were concentrated on the competition with Tencent some time ago, and it is also time to start to plan ahead."

In the future, large internet companies will cooperate with operators to build their own data centers, which will not only reduce costs, but also provide better servers and network support for their products. Li Mu also wants to provide Muye Science and Technology with a powerful server. Support, so this one has been put on the agenda.

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

Li Mu smiled and said: "That would be too thankful. I will invite you to dinner after it is done."

Tan Yaocheng waved his hand: "Our relationship, are you kind enough about this matter?"

Speaking, Tan Yaocheng also started to get to the point, and said to Li Mu: "Actually I asked you to come out to meet today, there is something I want to communicate with you."

"You said."

Tan Yaocheng simply said: "Yes, we have been inspired by Muye Science and Technology recently. We want to use Baidu search as the core to develop dependent products. We are very interested in MP3 search. Chief Li said that you gave him a promise before, and it will be in three years I went out from Easy Music and transferred all the shares to Baidu, so he wanted me to ask you, can you do a round of equity acquisition first? "

Li Mu smiled and asked: "How much does Chief Li want to buy?"

Tan Yaocheng said: "Chief Li means to value 500 million for the Easy Music network. We will buy 30% of the shares from you and another shareholder in cash."

Li Mu nodded. The 500 million quotation is not low. After all, it is still difficult to find a profit model in the fields of MP3 search, audition and download(ing). Only the simplest traffic advertising can be done. Based on the current traffic of Easy Music, advertising The income potential is about one or two million per month, even if there is room for improvement, but overall, it is not worth 500 million.

If it is sold to other companies, it is estimated that it will be one or two billions of dollars. However, this price will not be sold at Li Mu, and other companies may not buy it. However, it is not the same for Baidu. They The core business is search. Now the demand for MP3 search is increasing, but Easy Music network controls most of the traffic and users. If Baidu wants to increase the volume of its search service, it must take MP3 as a huge traffic source. under.

Li Mu asked Tan Yaocheng: "If you control Easy Music, do you want to use Easy Music to do Baidu MP3 search?"

Tan Yaocheng knew that it could not hide Li Mu, and nodded frankly: "We also need some new business now to increase user viscosity."

Li Mu said: "Old Tan, we have a good relationship, but private business is private business, and public business is public business. If Baidu has this idea, then I will say the ugly words first, even if I promise to transfer 30% of the shares to Baidu, At most, I let Baidu open a dedicated entrance to the Easy Music network, and will not let the Easy Music network in turn guide the Baidu products or make wedding dresses. "

Li Mu knows what Baidu is thinking about. Baidu wants to integrate the Easy Music network into the Baidu search engine, and they must do their own MP3 search, so if they give the Easy Music network to them, they cannot think about what To make the Easy Music network better, I will only think about how to guide the users of the Easy Music network to their MP3 search section as much as possible.

Tan Yaocheng listened to Li Mu's words so absolutely, with some embarrassed smiles: "Li Mu, to be honest, if the Easy Music network can't divert our own products, then the Easy Music network will be meaningless to us."

Li Mu said: "Why doesn't it make sense, at least you have a 30% stake in the Easy Music network, even if you can't integrate the Easy Music network into the Baidu search, this is also one of the assets of your Baidu company, you invested 5 million, Now at least 30% of the Easy Music network shares are worth at least 50 million, which is not yet a year, you have made a lot of money. "

Tan Yaocheng said sorrowfully: "If you had not drove us off the train halfway, our original 5 million will now be at least 500 million!"

Li Mu chuckled: "Lao Tan, the stock trading with a 10.000 Yuan account opening is still often got off by the dealer, not to mention the millions of dollars invested in a company? You are out of stock, you can only blame you for your unwillingness. , Can you blame the dealer for not being kind? "

Tan Yaocheng smiled bitterly: "You are right, we are not determined, we have nothing more to say about this matter, but to be honest, the Easy Music network is really not very useful for you now, but The meaning is different for us. If you give up Easy Music network to Baidu now, Baidu will definitely give you greater return on resources in the future. "

Li Mu said: "Lao Tan, who told you that the Easy Music network is not important to me? Let me tell you the truth. I just did an MP3 audition analysis of the download(ing) market some time ago, and made a competition in the same industry. According to product analysis, the increasing demand for digital music by netizens will soon become the first category with the highest proportion of internet users ’search behavior. How can I give you Easy Music in this case?"

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

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