Chapter 1462: Frontal War!

Larry Page is desperate for these wall-to-wall shareholders.

But he can't blame them, because everyone is chasing capital, Chasing interests, and in the field of capital, always accompanied by the gambler's psychology that goes deep into the bone marrow, the greater the interests, the more serious the gambler's psychology, Li Mu's appetite is not so big, shareholders are willing to sacrifice certain interests in exchange for stability, but when Li Mu's appetite is so big that it exceeds the psychological expectations of shareholders, shareholders will in turn become willing to take a certain risk in exchange for benefits, and it is this mentality that makes everyone decide to take a risk, try to see if Li Mu is a paper tiger.

It's a pity that Li Mu is not a paper tiger, he is not even a tiger, as he told Robin, he is a hunter with a gun in the animal world, standing proudly at the top of the food chain, he will turn a blind eye to the rabbits passing by, but he will not let go of the tiger with his teeth and claws in front of him, or the fox playing with his mind.

Although he understands these shareholders, Larry Page still said to them very seriously: "If we go back to Li Mu now and hurry up to accept his offer, then we will face an embarrassing situation of chicken and egg fighting, with my understanding of Li Mu, if I go back to Li Mu today, Li Mu's offer will never be 15%, it may be 18%, it may be 20%, what should we do at that time? Accept it? Or continue to refuse?"

Shareholders fell silent.

What is the price of rejecting 15% of the offers, and then accepting a 20% new offer the next day with a straight face? The price of pretending to be B? If this is the price of pretending to be B, it is inevitably too heavy.

What to do?

Now that Li Mu's father is going to move seriously, for Google, is it to kneel down as a grandson, or to stand and have a wave with Li Mugang?

Kneeling is simple, but sacrificing not only dignity, but also huge interests, standing can defend dignity, but whether you can stand is the key, after all, kneeling down by yourself and being beaten down by others, these are two completely different states.

These people are all elites, some of them are proficient in the Internet, some are proficient in computers, and some are proficient in investment and capital operations, but none of them are proficient in Li Mupret.

Sometimes, the world is so cruel, Rao is that you have a thousand abilities, all kinds of means, in the face of absolute power, all seem so fragile, whether it is technology or capital, can not help them catch up with Makino technology, Makino technology is like globalization, The upgraded version of Tengxun, no matter what it chooses to do, can make competitors uncomfortable and unable to sleep, because he has a strong user base, when you want to level the ground and build a tall building, he has already built skyscrapers at a height of 100 meters ahead of you, in the face of this strong advantage, Makino Technology will only lose in his own hands.

Just like Tengxun, if Huaxia's Internet companies want to achieve great development, they can only start in areas that Tengxun has not done or that they can't do well, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to succeed.

At present, Makino Technology has demonstrated its ecological strength in the global Internet field, it can completely subvert Apple's iTunes in a few days, how many rounds can Google survive in his hands?

Apple's tragic situation is still in front of you, although in the end Apple was acquired by Makino Technology, but how much meat was cut by the shareholders behind it, if it is really on the table, it is really more terrifying than the slaughterhouse, although in the eyes of ordinary people, this is just a company to acquire another company, but only people who understand capital operations know how bloody and miserable this scene is.

After more than ten years of hard work, he returned to the pre-liberation period overnight.

None of Google's shareholders want Google to do the same.

All the shareholders were forced to give up an opportunity to thrive and make a huge profit, and then sold their assets at a very low price and then walked out of the market.

Google's shareholders can't accept such an end.

Therefore, panic began to brew among them, and more and more people wanted to kneel down to Li Mu immediately.

Larry Page stood up at this time, and he said to everyone: "Let's not mess up for the time being, Li Mu is only preparing to cooperate with Baidu now, not already starting cooperation, in this case, we can wait and see for a while, if it does have a great impact on us, it is not too late for us to renegotiate with Makino Technology." ”

Someone immediately asked: "If Makino Technology's search engine becomes bigger and stronger, will they still be willing to cooperate with us?" I'm afraid that Li Mu's biggest idea at that time is to kill us!"

Others agreed.

Larry Page asked rhetorically: "Yesterday you were willing to take risks, why don't you have the courage today?" You said that Li Mu was bluffing before, so why do you think Li Mu is not bluffing now?"

This sentence made many people embarrassed.

Larry Page is right, it's all gamblers' psychology, why did you dare to bet yesterday and not dare today?

Sighing, Larry Page spread his hands and said to everyone: "Everyone, I don't ask everyone to follow my advice in everything, but I also hope that everyone can keep their IQ at a stable level, not yesterday's IQ was 160, today is only 40, IQ fluctuations are too large and our project risks are always uncontrollable." ”

Larry Page explained, "I mean, guys, you're all the top elites in Silicon Valley, but your IQ should not only be reflected in professional skills, but also in life or other levels, so that you can always maintain elite judgment." ”

One shareholder frowned and asked, "Larry, what do you want to say after all this day?"

Larry Page looked at him and said with a serious expression: " Frank, let me tell you a story, I once had a college classmate, he had a very high IQ, he was a complete computer genius, when we were still in school, he sold his independently developed software to IBM through his own efforts, at the age of 24, he already had a net worth of tens of millions of dollars, three years ago, his net worth exceeded 30 million dollars, but one day just three years ago he committed suicide and hanged himself in his villa in Los Angeles with his own belt, do you know why?”

Everyone was puzzled.

Larry Page stretched out a finger and dotted in the air, and said emotionally, "Because he married a damn Detachment dancer five years ago! a Detachment dancer who can spend twenty dollars, take off all her tops and ride on you to dance for you!" He is worth tens of millions of dollars, but he falls in love with this woman who undresses for twenty dollars a day, and what is even more terrible is that he not only married the divorce dancer, but also handed over all his assets to her to take care of, and the final consequence is that the divorce dancer hooked up with his personal lawyer, and then the two transferred all his property and tricked him into a partner in an illegally fund-raising private equity fund, as a result, he lost all his family property overnight, and then owed tens of millions of dollars in debt. ”

Speaking of this, Larry Page sneered and said: "A genius who can earn tens of millions of dollars, but can't see through the true face of a divorced dancer, he just bought and sold twenty dollars to tens of millions of dollars plus a life, that's what I said, IQ is too limited! To be honest, I see the shadow of my college classmate in you!"

After hearing this, everyone said a word with embarrassed expressions.

Larry Page went on to say, "I want you to open up to the limits of your IQ and see two key points:

First, Li Mu's true face is a capitalist who takes advantage of the fire to rob, the more you are afraid of him, the more he wants, if we mess up now, it will only make us look easier to slaughter in Li Mu's eyes;

Second, Li Mu is very smart and cunning, he can see through the weaknesses and reality of his competitors, but he can hide his weaknesses and motives very well, so when we are not enough, we must not believe our first instinct, because our first instinct is often seen through and used by Li Mu. ”

After a pause, Larry Page said again: "A few minutes ago, your first instinct was to find Li Mu to be soft and accept his offer, so the first thing we have to do now is not to show any attitude of bowing to Li Mu, first stabilize the rhythm, and take a look at Li Mu's next reality." ”

……

Larry S. Page thinks that Li Mu's action this time is more false than real, Li Mu is looking forward to the most, or to buy shares in Google at a low price, lying down to earn the dividends of the search engine industry, rather than going all out to reclaim and struggle, the search engine business in all Li Mu's business, the prospects are not very broad, so he thinks, as long as Google stabilizes the rhythm, even if Li Mu really cooperates with Baidu, I believe that the follow-up will not be very fast, and it may even end without a problem。

However, he didn't expect that Li Mu's determination to promote this matter was beyond everyone's imagination, and even the people of Makino Technology didn't understand why Li Mu suddenly wanted to add a search engine business, and he also invested so much energy to operate it himself.

Robin held a video conference with his shareholders and executives, and when he relayed Li Mu's metaphor of the monkey, tiger, hunter and bullet to other Baidu executives, everyone agreed to accept Li Mu's cooperation plan and open all Baidu's technology and patents on the search engine to Makino Technology.

A day later, Li Mu and Robin held an internal signing ceremony in Silicon Valley.

At the signing ceremony, in addition to the executives of Makino Technology and Robin, there were also three executives and shareholders of Baidu, who flew to the United States overnight to briefly participate in the discussion of the details of the contract, and then everyone happily reached a consensus and drafted a contract.

The core content of this contract is: Makino Technology and Baidu jointly set up a joint venture in Silicon Valley, the company is called Muye&, in the future, Muye& will focus on the search engine, and plans to develop a search engine called "Muye" and build it into a world-class search engine.

Muye&'s capital contribution and shareholding structure is: Makino Technology invested 10 million US dollars, accounting for 90% of the company's shares, Baidu shares in technology, accounting for 10% of the company's shares, and Baidu will unconditionally open all its technologies and patents in the field of search engines to Muye& in the next ten years, and Makino Technology will invest its own technical strength in the secondary development on the basis of Baidu technology, and also open the technical achievements of secondary development to Baidu unconditionally and in real time.

The restrictions on the coverage of the two parties are as follows: Muye& is permanently prohibited from conducting search engine-related business in China's home market, and Baidu is permanently prohibited from carrying out non-Chinese search engine-related business in markets other than China's home market.

The last one is a small benefit that Li Mu gave to Baidu, he promised that Muye & would not go to the Chinese market to grab any share with Baidu, but Baidu itself can go to overseas markets to do Chinese search, which is not restricted, leaving Baidu a small window for global development.

In addition to this contract, Li Mu also signed a supplementary agreement with Baidu in the name of Makino Technology, this supplementary agreement is very simple, in view of Li Mu is not ready to do search engine business in China, or even to do Chinese search business in the world, so he decided to add multiple Baidu search entrances in the YY Chinese version and YY Chinese website, and unconditionally direct all Chinese search traffic to Baidu.

This is equivalent to a favor from Li Mu to Robin, but for Baidu, it is equivalent to opening multiple blood supply channels, and the basic business can be greatly improved in an instant.

The two sides happily signed the agreement, and then Li Mu immediately asked the administrative and logistics department of Makino Technology in North America to start looking for a new office space near the company to use for Muye& office, and at the same time asked Fang Xudong to come to Silicon Valley, on the one hand, to divide the labor of Makino Technology's technical personnel in Silicon Valley, and take out part of the technical strength for Muye& On the one hand, combing Apple's upcoming technical employees, distinguishing and rating these talents, most of them are digested within Makino Technology, and a small part is released to Muye&.

In order to give a satisfactory explanation to the employees, Li Mu sent a group email within Makino Technology, and made a few explanations to Tim Cook and all Apple employees:

First of all, there is a possibility that employees on both sides will be selected for dispatch to Muye&, and I hope that all employees will be mentally prepared;

Secondly, this is only a transfer within the group, not a company-level transfer, because Muye& is a subsidiary of Makino Technology, so all employees transferred from Muye Technology to Muye& will be handled in the nature of dispatch, and they are essentially employees of Makino Technology;

Finally, Makino will increase the salary of all employees who are dispatched to Muye& by 10% as a dispatch subsidy.

As soon as this explanation came out, all concerns within the two teams were dispelled.

Makino Technology's influence in the Internet industry, brand awareness is second to none, employees do not want to break away from this large group, join a new company that has just been established, in the United States such a society that attaches great importance to personal credit, the gold content of the work enterprise is of great significance to employees, Makino Technology employees and employees of an unknown company, even if the salary level of the two is exactly the same, but in the American society, their personal credit content is very different.

In the next few years, this situation will gradually appear in China, even if the employees of large companies have a credit card, the limit is much higher than that of employees of small companies, and employees of large companies can go out on blind dates to let the opposite sex take a look, which is the added value that large companies give to employees.

In just a few days, Li Mu's resolute actions shocked the entire Silicon Valley.

No one knows what conflict happened between Li Mu and Google, but everyone can see that Li Mu has just finished acquiring Apple on the front foot, and he immediately mobilized heavy troops on the back foot, and found a Chinese mercenary to form a super army, ready to go to war with Google head-on!
