Chapter 1499: The 2.0 Era of the Internet
Li Mu announced that he would build Makino Technology into the industry's first real open platform, which is a huge good news for most of the small and medium-sized enterprise leaders and entrepreneurs on the scene, and the media is also Li Mu's initiative to break the ecological closed loop, take the initiative to open his arms to the whole industry to infect, in the eyes of these people, Li Mu is a leader in the real sense of the global Internet industry from the size of the enterprise, personal wealth, industry influence, or from the mind and sense of responsibility of the entire industry.
When they stood up and applauded Li Mu, the heads of large enterprises with a higher vision finally understood why Li Mu wanted to make this signing ceremony so grand.
Li Mu does not want to show off his extremely successful "extortion" to the world, but to take advantage of the opportunity that the global Internet industry is paying attention to, and release a signal to the entire industry: I want to be the father of the entire industry, and those who follow me will prosper and those who oppose me will die.
Such a strategy has made many heads of large enterprises worried, and the young man on the stage who smiled and calmly accepted the thunderous applause from the audience made them shudder.
On the stage, after Li Mu signaled with both hands and suppressed the applause from the audience, he continued:
"I think that the real industrial upgrading in the Internet era is that large companies with responsibility and responsibility continue to open up their products, open their own users, and open their entire ecology to accept more small and medium-sized companies, and even large companies of the same level, so that the Internet can transform from countless unrelated individuals to a melting pot that integrates with each other and produces chemical reactions with each other, and only in this way can we create more new elements in the Internet."
Speaking of this, Li Mu paused, and said: "I believe that the era of Internet warlords and melees has passed, and the war and confrontation between companies is no longer the inevitable way for Internet companies to survive.
Just like the cooperation between Makino Technology, Baidu and Google, in the confrontation stage, the three companies are doing subtraction to varying degrees, but in the cooperation stage, the three companies can not only stop losses in time, but also work together to achieve new growth and breakthroughs, about this, you can understand the change in the valuation of Google in the capital market after the announcement of cooperation, I am not talking about 50% growth, or 100% growth, but more than 300% growth, which is what I just said about the chemical reaction. ”
The change in Google's valuation, the whole industry is obvious to all, from the global decline to the global optimism, Google has been reborn, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a desperate situation, if Google chooses to continue to fight, today may not even be able to maintain a market value of three billion US dollars.
The intuitive example made the entrepreneurs in the audience realize that this kind of cooperation that Li Mu said can play a decisive role in the development of the enterprise, and they can also imagine how attractive it will be when Makino Technology truly becomes an open enterprise.
At that time, I am afraid that the whole industry is looking for opportunities to co-lease with Makino Technology, and Makino Technology will further establish its position as the godfather of the industry.
After another thunderous applause, Li Mu's voice raised a few points, raised his right hand in front of his chest, and said impassionedly: "I believe that the 2.0 era of the Internet is coming, and in this new era, we need to make some new changes and make some new breakthroughs! Clear the doubts, there is still a long way to go, we are waiting for you ahead!"
When Li Mu bowed to the audience, the audience stood up again, applause, praise and applause filled the entire venue, the media aimed their cameras at Li Mu in the center of the stage, and everyone in the audience, at this time Li Mu has become the real godfather of the Internet industry in the eyes of most people.
Media reporters quickly transmitted Li Mu's remarks on the "open platform" and the "Internet 2.0 era" from the front-end site to the back-end headquarters, and then the global media began to publish news, which only had two central ideas:
1. Li Mu will build Muye Technology into the first open platform in the Internet industry;
2. Li Mu will lead Makino Technology to take the lead in entering the Internet 2.0 era!
……
After Li Mu walked off the stage, the host took the stage to announce the official start of the signing ceremony, and in the strong excitement of the audience, Larry Page, Robin and Li Mu returned to the stage and sat down at the table prepared for each other.
Miss Manners brought three formal agreements, and after the three of them exchanged their names to sign all three agreements, Li Mu, who was sitting in the middle, stretched out his hand, first shook hands with Robin on one side, and then shook hands with Larry Page on the other side, Larry Page also stepped forward to shake hands with Robin, and the host officially announced: Google officially completed the merger and acquisition of Muye&Baidu, and Muye&Baidu officially became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Google.
Then, it was time for the Q&A session that everyone was looking forward to.
The staff quickly removed the tables and chairs on the stage and replaced them with four single sofas, Li Mu, Robin, and Larry Page sat facing the audience, and the host sat at a 90-degree angle with the three of them and the audience.
After the three of them sat down, the host said: "I believe that many guests at the scene have a lot of questions to ask our three protagonists on the stage at this moment, especially Mr. Li Muli, when you gave a speech just now, I was in the audience, and found that thousands of our guests and journalist friends are most concerned about your remarks about the open platform and the Internet 2.0 era, and I believe you must have a lot of questions to ask you." ”
Li Mu nodded politely.
At this time, the host said: "In today's Q&A session, each guest will answer three questions, and we will follow the order of the speeches before the start of today's ceremony, Mr. Larry Page will first select the questioner and answer the questioner's question, then Mr. Robin, and Mr. Li Mu, so if you want to ask Mr. Page a question now, you can raise your hand." ”
Many media reporters and entrepreneurs in the audience raised their hands, and Larry Page was the first to ask questions, and he chose a female reporter from an American media.
After the female reporter got the microphone, she immediately got up and asked: "Mr. Page, I would like to ask you, when Google chooses to cooperate with Makino Technology in depth, and Makino Technology announces that it will give up its development opportunities in the field of search engines in the next five years, does that also mean that Google will also give up all businesses that overlap with Makino Technology?"
Larry Page smiled slightly and said: "Google's goal is very clear, that is, to take root in the field of search engines, to make this business bigger and stronger, even if we don't cooperate with Makino Technology, we haven't thought of trying the existing business of Makino Technology, so I replied: Google has never thought of doing those businesses, so naturally we can't talk about giving up." ”
The female reporter nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Page." ”
Subsequently, Larry Page chose another reporter from Huaxia Media, who stood up and asked politely: "Mr. Page, I would like to ask, how big do you think the market space and prospects of search engines are in the future?"
Larry Page pondered for a moment and said: "I am personally very optimistic about search engines, I think the market space of search engines will occupy at least 30% of the entire Internet industry in the future, because every netizen is inseparable from search engines, and in the future, most of the traffic will first pour into search engines, and then distributed by search engines to various websites, search engines will become the future of the Internet field." Atlanta Airport', as we all know, Atlanta Airport has the largest passenger throughput airport in the world, and a large percentage of travelers pass through Atlanta Airport, regardless of their destination. ”
The reporter who asked the question thanked him with satisfaction, and the host reminded him at this time: "There is one last chance to ask Mr. Page a question, please hurry up and raise your hand." ”
As soon as the words fell, more people raised their hands to signal that they wanted to ask questions.
Larry Page did not choose from the reporters this time, but chose a guest on the scene, who was not very old, dressed plainly, with short-sighted glasses, and looked like an Internet entrepreneur.
The selected guest was a white man, and after he got up, he first introduced himself to Larry Page and said: "Hello Mr. Page, I am the CEO of Silicon Valley St. Roy, and the question I want to ask is: Google has now reached a cooperation with Makino Technology at the expense of interests, and has also obtained five years of security, but if after five years, Makino Technology decides to be its own search engine, what will Google do then?"
Larry Page looked at Li Mu, then at the questioner, and said jokingly: "To be honest, I haven't thought about this problem yet, because I think that in the past five years of cooperation between Makino Technology and Google, it will definitely be able to help Google grow into the strongest company in the field of search engines, and at that time, Google's market value will also give Makino Technology a huge return, in this case, why should Makino Technology bother to make a search engine by itself?"
After speaking, Larry Page looked at Li Mu, smiling but asking a little bottomlessly: "Mr. Li, what do you say?"
Li Mu smiled slightly, picked up the microphone, and said indifferently: "In fact, the mentality of this gentleman asking questions is still in the typical psychology of entrepreneurs in the Internet 1.0 era that I said, and the typical psychology of entrepreneurs in this era is 'to see who is an opponent and not trust anyone', like Germany and the Soviet Union during World War II, even if they signed a non-aggression pact, everyone is secretly sharpening their knives, but I have just said that if the 1.0 era of the Internet is a world war, then the 2.0 era should be a post-war reconstruction." ”
After a pause, Li Mu said again: "The key to post-war reconstruction is to use the manpower, material resources, and Most of the energy is withdrawn and used for its own development, if it still adheres to the wartime mentality and strategy, it will inevitably be phased out by this society, fortunately, Makino Technology and Google have gotten rid of this mentality, and entered the Internet 2.0 era I just mentioned in advance, in this new 2.0 era, Makino Technology and Google are no longer the relationship between Germany and the Soviet Union, but the relationship between the United States and Canada. ”
After saying this, Li Mu looked at the questioner playfully and said with a smile: "Since you are an entrepreneur in Silicon Valley, then you should most likely be an American, right?"
The other party nodded lightly and said, "That's right, I'm an American." ”
Li Mu smiled slightly and asked him, "Then let me ask you a question." ”
The other party hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, please speak." ”
Li Mu asked curiously: "Do you think that one day in the future, the United States will suddenly mobilize heavy troops to invade Canada?"
