Chapter 1458: Make It Happen!
Due to the exposure of the source of funds for Makino Technology's acquisition of Apple, this has brought a great shock to the US market.
On the one hand, this shock is because Makino Technology, as a private enterprise, has the platform endorsement of the central bank behind it, and on the other hand, it is also because the influence of Makino Technology in China is too great, so big that it can raise 2.5 billion US dollars worth of RMB funds in a few days, which is really scary.
The curious American media immediately began to dig into Li Mu's source of funds, and soon, the CSC club surfaced.
The CSC club has a great reputation in China because of its participation in charity projects such as the Immortal of Veterans and the fight against SARS, and has given great charity financial support, but the American media has not paid attention to this Chinese local love club with supercars as the core.
However, when the media began to dig into the core of the CSC club, they found that the energy behind this seemingly ordinary interest club was extremely amazing.
So to speak.
Most of the wealthy people over the age of 40 with children over the age of 18 have joined the CSC club.
This is the gathering place of the children of the Chinese high-class class, they take the sports car as the reason, closely surround Li Mu, and have great trust and respect for Li Mu, and the capital power represented behind them can be called terrifying after gathering, which is only calculated their own assets, and does not calculate the leverage strength of the capital behind each person.
Some people have assets of 100 million, if necessary, he can leverage 500 million funds, 500 million is his leverage strength, and leverage strength is one of the measures that cannot be ignored in the capital market, all funds and private placements rely on leverage to operate.
After the doxxing of the CSC club, the U.S. capital market became even more jealous of Li Mu, because although he entered the U.S. capital market single-handedly, behind him, he represented thousands of troops from the Chinese entrepreneur group.
Because of this jealousy, entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs throughout Silicon Valley are worried, maybe when Li Mu will command the iron hooves of Makino Technology to go to their development territory, with such capital strength, with the huge advantages of Makino Technology itself, it is simply invincible.
Larry Page has been panicking recently because of this, when Li Mu asked him for protection money, he was still a little annoyed in his heart, and subconsciously there was a kind of desire to lie down and taste the guts. Looking for an opportunity to counterattack and kill the impulse, but when Li Mu has been too lazy to deal with him recently, the anger in his heart and the delusion of counter-killing have all disappeared, and he is now panicking that Li Mu doesn't care about his protection fee at all, and now he is afraid that Li Mu will refuse Google's protection fee, because that means that Li Mu's war on the search engine market has not disappeared.
Li Mu's last threat to Larry Page inadvertently formed a strong psychological suggestion ability, Li Mu said that he could take out Baidu's set of things at any time, and it would be operated by Makino Technology in the market outside of China, and the more Larry Page thought about it these days, the more scared he felt, because the more he pondered this theory, the more feasible he felt.
If Baidu is really not ready to do overseas markets, then as long as Baidu can hold the domestic market, his technology can be conditionally opened to Makino Technology, in that way, Makino Technology can directly set a shell on the basis of Baidu, engage in a "Muye" search, and then through the YY product matrix crazy promotion, quickly can snatch Google's market share.
At this time, Google is far from becoming the supergiant in the future, their technical strength with Baidu is not very large, and the technical strength of Makino Technology is relatively close, but the overall weaker than Makino Technology, now Li Mu has acquired Apple, a turn of the head in the overall technical strength greatly exceeds Google, in this case, if Li Mu wants to be a search engine, Google's prospects whether it is at the capital level, the user level or the technical level, will be extremely worrying.
Because of such concerns, coupled with the fact that Li Mu showed his muscles through the case of acquiring Apple, Google's jealousy of Li Mu became stronger and stronger.
At first, Larry Page thought that Li Mu would gladly accept the share of 5 points, and then he came to Makino Technology with his own plan, and was directly threatened by Li Mu;
Immediately afterwards, Google's senior management held several meetings to discuss, and initially decided on an 8-point plan, in which the shareholders collectively diluted 10 points of shares to Makino Technology at a valuation lower than the market price, as a protection fee, in exchange for Li Mu giving up the development potential of Makino Technology in the field of search engines;
Now, Li Mu swallowed Apple in one gulp, Google's top management re-evaluated Li Mu's threat and Li Mu's appetite, and finally the shareholders passed a new decision: dilute 10 points to Makino Technology, and accept the conditions of Makino Technology to pay the acquisition price after it goes public.
They felt that Li Mu would gladly accept this plan.
However, Li Mu's routine is not something they can figure out.
……
Larry Page has recently been conveying his desire to meet Li Mu through Li Ziwei, and he has lost the upper hand in psychological warfare first.
Huaxia people are very good at bargaining, and there is an iron rule, that is, to always hide their true intentions.
When you really want it, you don't care about it, and when you don't want it, you show that you're very interested, and your ancestors played this set of psychological tactics thousands of years ago, but Google's tech nerds don't understand it at all, in other words, they don't have a scheming city at all.
The more anxious Larry Page is to meet Li Mu, the more he proves that he has a strong fear of Li Mu.
Li Mu threatened Larry Page last time, fighting for the scheming Yang Scheme, directly telling Larry Page how he would compete with him in the future, and making Larry Page feel that he can't resist every strategy of his own, as long as Larry Page is cowardly from the beginning, then he will become more and more cowardly, if Larry Page was not cowardly at that time, he directly talked to Li Mu head-on, and confidently told Li Mu how he would deal with Li Mu's every strategy, Li Mu's threatening means would be difficult to succeed.
In fact, even if Larry Page told Li Mu directly last time, come on, I'm not afraid of you, Li Mu won't really go head-to-head with Google, he has too many important things in his hands, and Google's priority is not at the forefront.
If you understand the powerful relationship in the form of war, that is: if Li Mu invests a large-scale main force to attack Google, he does have a great chance of winning, but Li Mu's several main forces have more important battles to fight, and they can't find time to fight him, if they really draw out a large-scale main force to fight Google, it is tantamount to making the mistake of Germany in the middle and late stages of World War II, blindly starting a war against the Soviet Union, and putting himself in the predicament of multi-front warfare.
Therefore, for Li Mu, this war basically can't be fought, if Larry Page is really tough, he really can't do anything about him, and it has never been Li Mu's routine to be willful.
It's a pity that Larry Page and the entire Google shareholders don't have the courage to shout with Li Mu.
Sitting in front of Li Mu again, Larry Page's psychological pressure was much greater than the previous one, and he first congratulated Li Mu and said, "Mr. Li, congratulations on your successful acquisition of Apple." ”
Li Mu said with a smile: "The privatization is still in progress, and it has not yet been fully acquired. ”
Larry Page said with a smile: "The NASDAQ has passed the privatization plan, and the rest is only a matter of time, and there will be no more variables, so I still want to congratulate you, congratulations to Makino Technology." ”
Li Mu nodded slightly, and said politely, "Thank you for your congratulations." ”
After speaking, Li Mu said with a little apology: "I've been busy recently, I went to Harvard to see my girlfriend, and I came back to buy Apple, so I'm really embarrassed that I can't find time to meet you." ”
Li Mu deliberately said this in order to put more pressure on Larry Page.
You see, I can fly from the West Coast to the East Coast to see my girlfriend, and I can fly in the sky for more than a dozen hours, but I can't even spare an hour or two to meet you, why? Because you're not important enough.
Larry Page also realized this in his heart, and the tension in his heart couldn't help but be a little more, if Li Mu had lost interest in Google, then his wish would probably be in vain today.
There was a lot of psychological pressure, and Larry Page could only awkwardly follow Li Mu's words and said, "Mr. Li, you are so busy, and you can still find time to meet me, I am so grateful." ”
Li Mu smiled indifferently and said, "Don't be so polite, the matter of acquiring Apple has been resolved, so I have plenty of time recently." ”
Li Mu's words made Larry Page even more depressed.
I originally wanted to say thank Li Mu for taking the time to see me, but Li Mu said, what I have now is time, and the subtext is that you don't pretend to be sentimental, you are not so important to me, I will only meet you when this kind of time is particularly free.
Larry Page let out a sigh of relief, then adjusted his state, and continued to say to Li Mu with a smile: "Mr. Li, that's the case, after the last meeting, our shareholders seriously considered your proposal Larry, and we agreed that if we can reach a cooperation with Makino Technology at the capital level, it will be a good thing for the future development of both parties, so we also very much hope to promote this cooperation, so we are willing to give Makino Technology a 10% At a valuation of $6 billion, the funds for the investment can be paid after the listing of Makino Technology. ”
Hearing this, Li Mu was overjoyed, but there was no expression on his face.
Larry Page kept staring at Li Mu's expression and every change in his facial features, hoping to capture Li Mu's heart, even if he could see that he was faintly excited, it was enough to judge whether Li Mu was really satisfied with this plan.
However, Li Mu didn't show any performance at all......
Larry Page is a little desperate in his heart, what kind of heart does this young man in his early twenties have?
For about thirty seconds, Li Mu didn't say a word, his eyes did not fluctuate, and when he looked at Larry Page, at that moment, Larry Page subconsciously dodged his eyes, but at this moment of dodging, Li Mu judged in his heart that Larry Page was not sure about his offer.
In other words, Larry Page is unsure of his appetite.
He didn't know if 10% would be able to feed his appetite.
In fact, Li Mu openly threatened Larry Page last time, and his psychological expectation was 10%, but now it seems that he still has a chance to eat a little more.
Immediately, Li Mu suddenly spoke after being silent for more than a minute, he looked at Larry Page, his expression was indifferent, but his eyes were full of determination, and he said in a flat tone: "Larry, I treat you as a friend, and I don't want to beat around the bush with you, other conditions remain the same, I want 15%!"
Larry Page chuckled inwardly......
At this time, Li Mu continued: " If you accept it, Makino Technology will add Google search as the only entrance to the search engine in important products in the next five years, listen to it, it is the only entrance;In addition, Makino Technology promises not to engage in any search engine business in the next five years, that is, you don't have to worry about me becoming your competitor in the next five years, unless you take the initiative to challenge Makino Technology in other fields, but you can rest assured, even if you challenge Makino Technology in other fields, Makino Technology will not tear up the search engine contract. ”
Speaking of this, Li Mu paused, and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't accept it, no matter how far the competition between companies goes, we are still friends." ”
Larry Page was silent for a moment, looked at Li Mu with a dejected expression, and said in an extremely frank tone: "Mr. Li, 15% is too much, I can't decide, and it's really difficult to achieve......"
Li Mu was half-lying on the sofa, stretched out a finger to Larry Page, and slowly uttered three words in the unquestionable tone of an officer issuing a military order to a soldier: "Make-it-happen!"
