In Li Mu's heart, he really doesn't plan to be a search engine, but this does not mean that he is willing to give up the capital dividend of the search engine in the future.

After becoming a shareholder of Baidu, Li Mu has locked in the domestic search engine dividend in advance, if he can reach a consensus with Google, then investing in Google in advance is equivalent to locking the overseas search engine dividend in advance.

If you take 10% of Google's shares, then even if these 10% shares continue to be diluted in the future, when Google's market value reaches hundreds of billions of dollars in the future, this share will be worth at least tens of billions of dollars, and you have the resources to continue to feed Google's business, which will also become a key element for you to maintain your shareholding ratio or expand your shareholding ratio.

In addition to locking in the future dividends in advance, investing in Google can also attract a strategic partner for Makino Technology, and the future is not only Makino Technology to Google diversion, Google will also provide Makino Technology with all kinds of resources within its capacity, just like Makino Technology has locked a large number of keywords from Baidu.

Although Larry Page was a little depressed due to the influence of Li Mu's strong personality, he felt that, fundamentally speaking, Li Mu did not really want to be an enemy of Google, he just wanted to get more greater benefits from Google, and as long as Google could meet his requirements, he would not become a huge threat to Google's future.

As a result, Larry Page made it clear that he would go back to the board of directors to see if these old shareholders were willing to dilute some more shares in order to attract Li Mu to take a stake in Google.

On the topic of investing in Google, Li Mu finally added: "If your diluted ratio meets my expectations, then I will agree to your request, YY and YY will continue to open the Google search entrance to users in the next five years, and even it is not impossible to add Google search entrance to other products of Makino Technology in the future." ”

"That's great!"

Larry Page breathed a sigh of relief and reaffirmed that Li Mu is not an enemy, and for the entire board of directors of Google, no one wants to be an enemy of Makino Technology in the future, so Google has long set a corporate strategy for Makino Technology: as long as Makino Technology does not extend its business to Google's core search business, Google will never extend its business to Makino Technology.

To put it bluntly, Google just doesn't dare to provoke Makino Technology.

Google is like a crusader bent on crusades, and Li Mu and his Makino technology are not the pagans who must be conquered in the eyes of the crusaders, but the Venetians on the way to the crusade, the knights of the crusaders do not have the ability to cross the sea on a large scale, they can only pay the Venetians and ask them to use their powerful fleet to send the crusaders to the other side.

What the Venetians want is money.

Li Mu saw that Larry Page seemed to be in a much more relaxed mood, smiled slightly, and suddenly said: "By the way, Larry, if we reach a preliminary agreement, I need to wait for the funds to be paid for the stake in Google, I need to wait for the successful IPO of Makino Technology to make up, of course, I will calculate the interest for Google's shareholders." ”

Larry Page was stunned, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Li Mu is really calculating, not only to invest in Google, but even to delay payment, it is simply an empty glove white wolf.

But even if Larry Page is 10,000 dissatisfied in his heart, he can't say it, and the most important thing is to lock in the huge traffic of Makino Technology before Yahoo wants to part ways with Google, and give the money later......

Immediately, Larry Page pretended to be relaxed and said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, we are mainly to enhance the strategic cooperative relationship between Google and Makino Technology, and the most important thing is to determine the matter of shareholding and the plan of cooperation. ”

Li Mu smiled slightly: "Then I'll wait for your final offer to see how many shares your shareholders are willing to dilute." ”

"Good. Larry Page nodded emphatically, the Crusaders paid almost all their possessions to the Venetian merchants in order to make the crusade a success, and now, Google is naturally willing to make corresponding sacrifices for its own grand journey.

……

After chatting about the "in-depth cooperation" with Google, Li Mu began to think about Andy Rubin, the father of Google, so he asked Larry Page and said, "Larry, do you know Andy Rubin?"

"Andy Rubin?" Larry Page frowned and asked, "Mr. Li, are you talking about Andy Rubin, who worked at Apple and Microsoft before and later founded Danger?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "It's him." ”

Larry Page said: "I know Andy and I admire his ability and vision, but how did Mr. Lee know about him? Andy is actually a very low-key person, and not many people in Silicon Valley know about him. ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "A friend of an executive in our technical team recommended him that there was a vacancy for the position of project leader in Muye Technology, and the manager asked him to help recommend the right person, and he said that this person was not bad." ”

Larry Page wondered, "Then why don't you just ask your friend in management to help introduce you?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "That friend of his, who is still working at Apple, plus Andy has also worked at Apple before, and we have become Apple's biggest competitor, so he is not too suitable to come forward." ”

Li Mu's statement Larry Page did not doubt it, and Li Mu also described the key person as "a technical team executive of Makino Technology" and "a friend of his who works at Apple", although these two statements are vague, but the logic makes sense, so Larry Page will not have any doubts.

Larry Page did not doubt Li Mu's words, due to the different professional ethics, non-compete restrictions and the management articles of various companies, many people in Silicon Valley have such a sense of self-protection.

Immediately, Larry Page said to Li Mu: "Andy, this person, the recent focus seems to have been on mobile phone communication, he wants to do Internet mobile phones, I personally appreciate his direction, but the current hardware development is indeed not mature enough, so he has not been able to do this project, his Danger project is basically a failure, disappeared for a while a few days ago, and recently seems to have returned to Silicon Valley and began to think about new entrepreneurial projects." ”

Li Mu smiled and asked, "Has he looked for you?"

"Nope. Larry Page said: "Google has no idea of getting involved in this area now, after all, our current idea is to make the related products, technologies and algorithms of the search engine more solid, and there is no point of cooperation with Andy for the time being." ”

Li Mu nodded, and said lightly: "Why don't you help me draw a line and introduce me to him, Makino Technology wants to add some new attempts to the next generation of Mango-ME, and he may be just right for this project." ”

"Yes!" Larry Page said without hesitation: "This is a gesture, Mr. Li, you can see when it is convenient for you, I will communicate with Andy, I believe that he must also very much hope to have the opportunity to meet you." ”

Li Mu looked at the time and said, "Otherwise, since he is in Silicon Valley, you can ask him if he has time in an hour, if so, you can come to Muye Technology to meet me and talk." ”

Larry Page couldn't help sighing: "Why is Mr. Li so anxious, then I'll call him." ”

Li Mu smiled slightly, and said casually: "It just so happens that there are no other arrangements this afternoon, I have too many things to do in the next two days, and I have to go to Cambridge." ”

Larry Page nodded while flipping through the phone address book and said, "I heard that Mr. Li, you voted for a Harvard college student and started a Facebook?"

Li Mu smiled and asked, "Do you know?"

"Probably understood. Larry Page said with a smile: "College student socialization, this entry point is quite good, maybe it can really toss some movement." ”

Li Mu laughed and said: "The child is just a little trouble, and he can't get on the stage, and I went to Cambridge mainly not to see him, but to see my girlfriend." ”

"Oh......" Larry Page said in surprise, "Mr. Lee has a girlfriend?"

Li Mu asked him with a smile: "Are you surprised that I have a girlfriend?"

Larry Page laughed, "I'm not surprised at all that you have a girlfriend, I'm just surprised that you said it so generously." ”

Li Mu smiled slightly: "The two of us are also old friends, and we may still be close comrades-in-arms in the future, what do I have to hide from this little thing." ”

Larry Page nodded seriously, at this time, the phone was connected, he hurriedly pointed to the phone to Li Mu, and then said into the phone: "Andy, I'm Larry, Larry Page." ”

Andy Rubin returned to Silicon Valley from the Cayman Islands some time ago and has been looking for investors lately.

Andy Rubin's life as a genius programmer is rather neurotic, and after the failure of the Danger project, he went to the Cayman Islands to reflect on himself and his life, and then pondered his next entrepreneurial project, and finally figured it out, only to find that the capitalists in Silicon Valley were not very interested in his new project.

For an entrepreneur, the biggest blow is that no one agrees with his entrepreneurial project, and the same is true for Andy Rubin.

Andy Rubin is different from Larry Page, Larry Page has a successful career and is worth hundreds of millions, but Andy Rubin has always been a part-time worker in Silicon Valley, and he has not achieved much before, and he went out to start a business and failed, for Andy Rubin, even if he wants to take out the money to start a business, with his property situation, it is difficult to support an ambitious project, so he urgently needs to find an investor who is willing to believe in himself.

Suddenly receiving a call from Larry Page made Andy Rubin excited, and he said excitedly: "Mr. Page, I really didn't expect you to call me, this is really gratifying!"

Larry Page laughed, "Andy, are you in Silicon Valley now?"

"Yes!" Andy Rubin immediately responded, and then said, "Mr. Page, I have a startup project looking for investors, I don't know if you are interested, can we take the time to meet and talk?"

Larry Page laughed and said, "I called to introduce you to a very big investor, and if you're interested, you can talk to him later." ”

Andy Rubin was surprised and asked, "Who is the biggest investor?"

Larry Page said: "Li Mu, the founder of Makino Technology. ”
