Chapter 1473: Don't talk to me about any shares
Since Larry Page sat down on the grass on the shore, Li Mu's mood has become extraordinarily good.
The fish drift didn't seem to move at all, but Li Mu knew in his heart that he had caught a big fish, and that big fish was Larry Page and the Google behind him.
Larry Page didn't expect that he had traveled half the world all the way, and as a result, he could only sit on the grass and watch Li Mu fish.
What's even more depressing is that Li Mu didn't come here to fish, but to shoot a show, which means that even if he finishes fishing, he may not have time to talk to him about business.
I heard that Li Mu is going to stay here at night, so what should I do? There is no hotel here, so I can't sleep in the wilderness, right?
Thinking of this, Larry Page let out a long sigh, feeling both aggrieved and humiliated.
Inner depression and humiliation are certain, as an IT talent who is at the forefront of the world, Larry Page has never been treated like this.
However, I have never suffered it again, and I still suffer it today.
After all, it is Li Mu's father, if Google is a tiger, today it is just a cub that has not yet reached adulthood, and Makino Technology is a hunter with a gun, in front of Makino Technology, he has no substantial ability to resist.
After all this time, Larry Page was thirsty, hungry and tired, but this time he came in a hurry, carrying only a backpack, a laptop, two changes of underwear and a T-shirt, and he was so hungry that he didn't even stutter.
Not to mention food, not even a mouthful of drink.
It stands to reason that he is also a guest who came all the way to find Li Mu, so can't anyone in these program groups be kind enough to bring him a bottle of water? Today, the temperature is in the early thirties, and it is easy for people to be thirsty and lack of water when they stay outdoors, and those staff members on the shore all have cold drinks to drink, but they can only sit here and swallow their saliva while watching, which is really miserable.
Li Mu and Peng Yuyan fished in the kayak for two hours.
In these two hours, the harvest of the two of them was quite abundant, crucian carp caught seven or eight, most of them were tied to grow, in addition, there were two grass carp of not small size, it is estimated that they have to be about one and a half to two catties, and the rest are a bunch of all kinds of small fish, basically caught and picked up the hook and threw it back into the water.
Peng Yuyan's fishing skills are obviously better than Li Mu's, Li Mu's childhood and even teenagers fished with his father, using traditional long fishing rods, people stand on the shore with fishing rods or set up fishing rods, but the fishing tackle prepared by the program team is a sea fishing rod, Li Mu has not played, and he is not very suitable at first glance, so 70% of today's catch is Peng Yuyan's credit.
Two hours later, the two of them rowed back to the shore with a good harvest, and Larry Page, who was so thirsty that his throat was smoking, hurriedly got up and leaned on the suggested dock, but before he could get to him, several groups of filming crews were already in place, and Larry Page didn't even have a chance to get close, and such a big battle was filming the show, and Larry Page was too embarrassed to come forward to disturb.
After getting off the boat, Li Mu took the fishing tackle, Peng Yuyan carried a box full of fish, and said to Li Mu as he walked: "Mr. Li, two grass carp can make Mr. Huang stew cakes, these crucian carp can let him cook a crucian carp soup, Mr. Huang's skill in cooking crucian carp soup is really amazing, I drank it once, and the aftertaste is endless!"
Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "These fish are all wild, and there is no pollution, and the meat quality should be very good." ”
As he was talking, Li Mu caught a glimpse of Larry Page, who was standing behind the camera staff and wanted to speak and stopped talking, and said to the director who was following the camera: "Director Xu, please find a place for Mr. Page to rest for a while, I will send the fish back, help them pack the fish and go to him." ”
Larry Page didn't understand the Chinese spoken by Li Mu, but when he heard Li Mu mention his surname, his heart was finally relieved, and he secretly thought: "Li Mu finally remembered himself?"
At this time, the director of the program team came to Larry Page and said to him in English: "Mr. Page, Mr. Li's program has not been recorded yet, he asked me to arrange for you to rest for a while, and he will come to meet you later." ”
Larry Page breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely, "Thank you, I'm tired and thirsty now, and I really need a little rest." ”
The director of the program team nodded and said, "We have a place for employees to rest, you can go over and rest for a while, there is water to drink, and I will ask them to order you an extra fast food in the evening." ”
Larry Page hurriedly thanked, "Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome. The director of the program team smiled slightly and asked him: "Is Mr. Page still going back to the city? If you do, you need to get to the town before half past four, where the last bus to the city is at four forty, if you miss this bus, it will be very troublesome to go back to the city at night, there are almost no taxis in the town." ”
"Four-and-a-half-past ......" Larry Page looked at the time, it was already three o'clock at this time, if he was going to the town at half-past four, then how could he have a face-to-face interview with Li Mu?
If you can't go back to the city, do you really have to find a place to sleep in the countryside today? That would be too miserable......
However, Larry Page could only grit his teeth and insist, and said to the director: "I have something very important to discuss with Mr. Li Mu, so I may not go back today." ”
After saying that, Larry Page was eager to ask him if he could find a place to stay for himself and avoid sleeping on the streets.
The director said at this time: "Since Mr. Page doesn't go back, then I'll arrange for you to live in our staff dormitory, but the conditions are a little difficult, and you may have to be wronged." ”
When Larry Page heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "No, no, I'm very grateful to be able to solve a bed!"
……
When Li Mu and Peng Yuyan returned to the mushroom house and started to kill fish, Larry Page finally drank water, and after drinking two bottles of pure water in a row, he sat on the folding stool in the lounge of the program team, all he thought about was how to talk to Li Mu later, how to ensure that Li Mu could accept the plan he brought this time, if he couldn't solve the problem this time, then he was afraid that his sins would be in vain.
Li Mu didn't have a billionaire's shelf at all in the mushroom house, he and Peng Yuyan worked together to kill all the fish and clean the internal organs and scales before they came out of the mushroom house and asked the program director: "Where is Larry Page now?"
"In the staff lounge, we bought another set of small yards. ”
Li Mu nodded and said, "Arrange for someone to bring him over, and say that I can meet him now." ”
The director hurriedly said: "Then I'll give you orders." ”
After speaking, the director took out the walkie-talkie and shouted, and immediately an assistant took the initiative to take the next job and invite Larry Page to the door of the mushroom house.
Seeing Larry Page, Li Mu didn't say much, just glanced at him lightly, and saw that he was tired, so he deliberately said: "Mr. Page, there are a lot of people here, let's walk around casually and talk while walking." ”
Larry Page nodded hurriedly and followed Li Mu in the direction of the vegetable field, Li Mu didn't speak, and Larry Page didn't dare to take the initiative to break this peace, so he could only follow Li Mu silently.
There was no film crew to follow, and the two soon had a chance to talk alone, and Li Mu asked him with a smile: "Mr. Page, why did you suddenly come to Huaxia?"
Larry Page said in his heart, why I came, you still don't know in your heart, but he can only smile on his face: "Mr. Li, this time I came to Huaxia, mainly to meet you and talk to you about cooperation......
Li Mu turned his head, looked at him in surprise, and asked, "Isn't the negotiation of cooperation already shutdon?
Larry Page said with an embarrassed expression: "Mr. Li, that's the case, our shareholders have not been able to reach a unified opinion before, so they have not been able to accept your conditions at that time, during this time we have been constantly communicating and discussing, everyone thinks, or prefer to have an excellent shareholder like you to go down with us, so I came to talk to you this time, if you are still interested in Google, would you like to take a stake in Google? We can give you a 20% share this time." ”
Li Mu shook his head without hesitation after hearing this, and said to Larry Page: "Page, there is an old saying in Huaxia, called, 'After this village, there will be no such store', before I was really interested in investing in Google, but you have not figured out your actual positioning, and now you come to me to invest in Google, I am no longer interested, you should know, I and Baidu jointly established a company specializing in search, the company is registered in Silicon Valley, named muye&." ”
Larry Page chuckled inwardly and agreed: "I've heard about this company, but I think it's still a good investment opportunity for you to take a stake in Google at a low price." ”
Li Mu asked him: "Are you willing to let me simply take a stake in Google without any strings attached? In other words, are you willing to sell me 20% of the shares at a low price, while I only pay money and nothing else?"
Larry Page looked embarrassed.
The reason why he is willing to sell shares to Li Mu at a low valuation is to get Li Mu's resources and Li Mu's promise not to be a search engine for 5 years, otherwise, just let Li Mu take a stake in Google, what is the practical significance of Google?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "You see, that's the way it is, in the last stage, our two companies did have complementary needs, but now, the balance of this demand has been broken, and I don't need Google's shares now, which is the most critical." ”
Larry Page was extremely depressed, he could have made a deal with 15% a long time ago, but he had to do it like today, and 20% of it was taken out and people didn't even bother to look at it, and everyone, including himself, was stupid......
After calming down, Larry Page continued to try to make efforts: "Mr. Li, if you have any comments on the valuation, we can communicate again. ”
Li Mu waved his hand and said: "Larry, since you have come all the way over, then I won't go around in circles with you, frankly speaking, if you still hope that I can take a stake in Google, then I can tell you clearly, don't be delusional, it's impossible! Talk about every stage of things at every stage, and it's already a matter of the previous stage to get a share, and at this stage, if you want to talk to me, don't talk to me about what to buy shares." ”
Larry Page looked at Li Mu and subconsciously asked, "What are you talking about?"
Li Mu said lightly: "Let's talk about mergers and acquisitions." ”
