Muye&……

As you can see from the name, this is a joint venture between Makino Technology and Baidu, and this kind of alliance written directly on the name is very common in the West.

For example, the military brand Lockheed Martin, which is a new product of the merger of Lockheed and Martin Marietta;

For example, the luxury brand D&G, which is the product of a letter from the names of the two founders, Dolce and Gabbana;

In fact, Baidu is a soy sauce player in Muye, but Li Mu is still willing to name the company with this name, on the one hand, it is to give Baidu a certain respect, and more importantly, it is to let people see at a glance that Muye& is a company focusing on search engines, although it is a new company, but it has the genes of two Internet companies.

In addition to that, the name is also meant to send a message to Larry Page: buddy does what he says, and he does what he says.

Larry Page was really completely shocked by Li Mu.

He didn't expect Li Mu's pace to be so fast, so fast that it was outrageous, these were just his arguments for negotiating with himself a few days ago, and now they have all become reality.

After the announcement of the establishment of Muye&, the first impact was the rapid rise in Baidu's valuation, which rose by at least 30% overnight in the capital market.

Secondly, Makino Technology itself also has an additional bargaining chip that can be used to tell stories and increase valuation, which indicates that Makino Technology is about to enter the field of search engines, which is a cross-border expansion in an absolute sense, and it is beneficial but harmless to Makino Technology;

Finally, there is the general downturn of Google in the market.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable for Google, the market has killed such a heavyweight opponent, Google's prospects have become extremely slim in an instant, first of all, it is clear that Google wants to continue to develop is already more difficult, followed by the next problem that Google will face, not the problem of continuing to develop, but the problem of how to keep its own country, the next thing to develop, will be Muye& Constantly cannibalizing Google's share of the search engine space, and Google has no higher-level traffic sources behind it, so the only thing they can do in the future is subtraction.

The market has lost hope in Google, which has directly led to the decline in Google's valuation in the capital market, and the capital market's recognition of Google's valuation has fallen from 10 billion to around 6 billion, and the capital only gives their judgment of valuation, whether anyone is willing to take over Google's shares for $6 billion at this time, is still unknown.

The attitude of the capital market suddenly became extremely cold, and Google's IPO was forced to be suspended, because the cooperative brokerage told Google that if it continued to prepare for the IPO as planned, Google's market value would be much lower than originally expected, and if in the future, Muye& continued to impact Google's business, Google's valuation will continue to decrease, and it is possible that even if it is successfully listed next year, it may not be able to reach a market value of $10 billion. If it has a huge impact on Google in the future, Google's hope of going public will be in vain.

The Internet company itself is a bubble enterprise, the valuation and market value are all supported by the concept and the story, once the concept collapses, the story can not be told, the enterprise itself will collapse, Google's original concept is: the popularity of search engines among Internet users and the proportion of behavior will be higher and higher, and its impact on Internet users will be greater and greater; the story is that it is currently the world's largest search engine, and Google has no super opponents in this industry, and the future is very good.

But now, the concept is still there, the story can no longer be told, the story can't be told, and the market value collapse is the inevitable result.

There are too many cases of bubble bursting in the history of the Internet, such as AOL, which has a market value of nearly $200 billion and has shrunk by 98% in a few years; Renren.com, which has a market value of more than $7 billion at its peak, surpassing Sohu, NetEase, and Sina, and finally falling to less than one-tenth of its peak market value......

Li Mu has now just set up a company with great fanfare, which has already made Google feel the panic that the bubble is on the verge of bursting, which also makes Larry Page panic, if Muye really launches Muye search in a few months and builds it into all YY products, then Google's market value may fall below $3 billion.

……

Just when the whole Google was wailing, Fang Xudong came.

As a high-end technical talent who went out from Silicon Valley, Fang Xudong was summoned back to Silicon Valley by Li Mu at this time, and the signal released was very obvious.

Li Mu transferred all the technical masters he relied on the most to solve the problem of building the technical team of Muye>, which means that from a technical point of view, Muye&'s Muye project has become the project with the highest technical priority at present.

This signal has made Google even more desperate internally.

Subsequently, Baidu's first engineer formation followed in the footsteps of Fang Xudong to the United States, according to internal sources, this engineer formation is only one-fifth of Baidu's expected manpower investment in the Muye& project, and the remaining four-fifths are stepping up time to apply for visas to the United States.

Baidu's high attention means that the Muye&Future team will be able to use Baidu's existing technology in the shortest possible time to make Muye search have the same level as Baidu in the shortest possible time.

This means that Muye has the potential to meet users in just a few months.

Larry Page began to suffer from severe insomnia, he had not closed his eyes for 72 hours, and there are many others who suffer from insomnia like him at Google.

Immediately after that, another piece of news came.

Muye has rented a small and medium-sized office building of more than 5,000 square meters in Silicon Valley, which can meet the needs of at least three to four hundred people, and what is more interesting is that this office building is in the middle of the Silicon Valley branch of Makino Technology and Google.

Muye&'s signing of this office building has given Google a greater sense of oppression up and down.

The enemy is coming, the enemy is strong, and the enemy is on your side......

It's completely a sense of déjà vu under the city.

At this time, more rumors began to appear.

It is reported that Makino Technology will add Muye search to all non-Chinese products in the future;

It is also reported that Makino Technology is preparing to integrate the overseas version of Tieba into the future Muye search engine;

There is also news that Makino Technology has reached a consensus with all music copyright owners that it will synchronize the content of YYtunes to eb in the future, and realize diversion through the Muye search engine, that is to say, in the future, users will directly search for a certain song on the Muye search engine, and Muye will automatically display the genuine audition and download page first, and this also contains the evaluation of all YYtunes users on this song;

What's even more terrifying news is that Makino Technology is ready to start using Taobao Alliance's advertising solutions on Muye, and in the first half year of the alliance's launch, all advertising revenue will be subsidized to traffic owners, and they should not take a penny, which is tantamount to directly playing a price war with Google, Google lives on advertising revenue, and Muye & relies on Makino Technology to raise.

The last one is the most terrifying, this is almost an almost inexplicable way of attacking Li Mu.

What profits do you rely on to live, I will give up all this part of the profits, so that you lose your income.

Therefore, Li Mu's strategy is to oppress all the other party's sources of income, and then fight with the other party for reserves, which should be the most cruel means of competition in the capital market.

They witnessed the death of Apple, witnessed the destruction of Apple's profits by Mango-ME, and they could clearly feel that Li Mu's invisible hands were stuck on their necks.

Rebellion? non-existent.

When Larry Page couldn't sleep for four consecutive days, Li Mu took Su Yingxue around California and played, and the mood was called a happy one.

Although Su Yingxue also enjoys this two-person world, she is still worried about her parents who are far away in Huaxia, she endured it a few days ago and didn't say it until after the clouds and rain in Wushan on the fourth night, she snuggled in Li Mu's arms and asked him: "When will we leave for China?"

Li Mu said: "I can't set the time yet, are you in a hurry?"

Su Yingxue hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay, if you have something, I'll wait with you." ”

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "I'm waiting for a signal, as soon as this signal arrives, we will leave for China immediately." ”

Su Yingxue asked curiously, "What signal are you waiting for?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "I'm waiting for my opponent to admit it, it is estimated that it won't be long before it is a day or two." ”

Li Mu is indeed waiting for Larry Page to admit it, Li Mu is now very clear about Larry Page's thoughts, which is nothing more than carrying it hard first until he exposes his clues and weaknesses, but Larry Page's idea is impossible to realize, because in Li Mu's eyes, he does not have the ability to exert any pressure on Li Mu at all, and without enough pressure, even if Li Mu has weaknesses, it is impossible to expose them.

On the contrary, it is Larry Page himself, can he withstand the pressure that Li Mu gives him? Li Mu made intensive big moves one after another in a very short period of time, and almost every action was made completely for the purpose of targeting Google, which was equivalent to giving Larry Page a set of ultra-high-strength combination punches, which was enough to blow up his blood volume, so, in Li Mu's judgment, Larry Page must not be able to carry it for long, and once he can't bear it anymore, he will inevitably admit to himself again.

Therefore, the time for Li Mu to return to China is very simple, when Larry Page admits it, he will immediately leave for China to meet Larry Page?

Li Mu's speculation did not deviate, and the next day, Larry Page and all the shareholders of Google could not hold on.

Li Mu's actions are too intensive, and the actions are very large and targeted, which is equivalent to using his main army to surround Google, waiting for the arrival of the general offensive moment, which has basically made the market desperate for Google's future, and now no one is willing to invest in Google, even if Google's valuation has fallen again and again.

If this continues, before Muye is launched, Google has already shrunk by half.

Originally, as long as 15% was diluted to Li Mu, Google's valuation could be stimulated by major positive benefits and increase rapidly, but now, a good hand of cards makes them play their own shams.

As a result, Google's shareholders had another discussion, which first attacked and blamed each other, only to find out that each of them had made a fatal mistake in this farce.

Larry Page wanted to compromise at the first time, but the shareholders were unwilling;

The shareholders wanted to compromise after realizing Li Mu's determination, and Larry Page dragged his feet again, feeling that Li Mu might be bluffing, and he might as well take a look before making a decision;

Seeing now, half of his body is in the ground.

After tearing for a long time, we found that there is no way to shirk this kind of responsibility for anyone, everyone is like falling into the septic tank at the same time, no one has no smell on their bodies, and there is no point in tearing it down, it can only increase internal friction.

After recognizing this reality, it is difficult to reach a consensus within Google, it is no longer meaningful to continue to break the responsibility, and the best way to stop losses is to seize the time to make up for the mistakes.

So, the shareholders finally decided to let Larry Page meet with Li Mu on behalf of Google to talk to Li Mu again, this time Google admitted, and the shareholders collectively diluted 20% of the shares to Li Mu, and the shares increased from 15% to 20% of Li Mu's price, and the price was $4 billion, which was 33.4% lower than the previous $6 billion.

But for these shareholders who are completely confused, they feel that as long as Li Mu agrees to take a stake in Google, give Google the guarantee of the previous conditions, and stop the Muye& project, Google's market value can rise again, so the pain is only temporary, as long as the person does not die, the cut meat can grow back sooner or later.

So, Larry Page hurriedly contacted Li Ziwei, hoping to make another appointment with Li Mu.

Li Ziwei had already been instructed by Li Mu a long time ago, and the original words were: "If Larry Page calls you and says that he wants to meet me, you tell him that I am going back to China soon and I don't have time to see him, if he calls in the morning, you say that my plane will take off in the evening, and if he takes a call in the afternoon and evening, you tell him that my plane will take off the next morning." ”

When Li Mu took Su Yingxue to Hollywood quietly, Li Ziwei received a call from Larry Page.

"Hello Miss Li. Larry Page said hello with a hint of embarrassment and confusion in his tone.

"Hi, hello Mr. Page. Li Ziwei asked him with a smile, "Is there anything wrong?"

Larry Page said in a very sincere tone: "I really want to make another appointment with Mr. Li Mu, I wonder if Miss Li can help me convey it?"

When Larry Page spoke, Li Ziwei had already looked at her watch twice and repeatedly set the time, and it was half past four in the afternoon local time in Silicon Valley.

When Larry Page finished saying that he wanted to meet with Li Mu, Li Ziwei replied immediately in less than half a second: "I'm very sorry Mr. Page, Mr. Li's plane will take off tomorrow morning to return to Huaxia, and before that, he is not prepared to accept any guests and any kind of meeting requests." ”

"What did you say?!"
