is about to see Li Mu again, Tan Yaocheng is in a complicated mood, the current valuation of Makino Technology has far exceeded Baidu, Li Mu was just a personal webmaster similar to Li Xingping in his eyes, but he didn't expect that he would achieve such a high level of Makino Technology in such a short period of time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Tan Yaocheng didn't understand, and he couldn't figure it out, Muye Technology under the control of Li Mu was simply a plug-in, just like a super player with the coordinates and vision of the whole map in the legend, compared to him, other companies are like those players at the bottom, no map, no coordinates, only a little vision illuminated by candles, in order to find a location, you may have to take a detour to walk the entire map again.

From the beginning to the present, Makino Technology has taken one step at a time, and every step has shocked the entire Internet industry, and he is not even twenty years old this year, no one knows how much room for development Makino Technology will have in the future.

What hurts Tan Yaocheng the most is that Baidu withdrew from Makino Technology and replaced 20% of the shares of Yiting.com with the shares of Makino Technology.

Now, Tan Yaocheng was ordered by Mr. Li again, looking for Li Mu to communicate about the shares of the easy listening network, the golden age of mp3 search has kicked off, if Baidu can't integrate the easy listening network, then it is really going to miss this excellent opportunity, with the current influence of the easy listening network, Baidu has no way to do mp3 search directly without it, if Baidu does this, Li Mu will definitely work with Baidu, the gains outweigh the losses.

For Baidu, the best way is to acquire more shares of Yiting.com from Li Mu's hands, reach absolute control as soon as possible, and then be able to directly integrate Yiting.com.

The two were about seven o'clock in the afternoon, Li Mu was slightly late for seven or eight minutes, and when he arrived at the restaurant, Tan Yaocheng had already waited for half an hour.

As soon as they met, Li Mu said sorry to Tan Yaocheng: "I'm sorry, Mr. Tan, things are too busy, and I was delayed for a while." ”

Tan Yaocheng smiled slightly, pushed his glasses and said, "You are a busy person now, with so many things to do, I am already very satisfied when I have time to see me." ”

Li Mu sat down opposite Tan Yaocheng and said with a smile: "But speaking of which, we really haven't seen each other for a few days." ”

Tan Yaocheng nodded: "Who doesn't say it, we have been very busy recently, and we have just developed a search plug-in for IE, so that users can directly enter keywords in IE to search in the future." ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "Your business is very active now, do you have any new directions in other aspects?"

Tan Yaocheng said with a smile: "No matter how active our business is, we can't compare to your Makino Technology, you look at your recent actions, it's too frequent, even QQ has been killed by you, I see that next year, Makino Technology will be the largest Internet company in China, and when the time comes, you will definitely be no problem on the rich list." ”

Li Mu said: "Those are all imaginary, and they can't be cashed. ”

Tan Yaocheng said: "Who said that you can't cash out? The capital market has opened a valuation of 6 billion yuan for you, and you can get a sum of cash as long as you nod your head." ”

Li Mu smiled: "Forget it, I don't have the idea of cashing out now, after all, there is no shortage of money on hand, so why bother to refinance and cash out." ”

Tan Yaocheng asked him curiously: "Are you going to raise money before going public?"

Li Mu nodded: "As long as the cash flow of Makino Technology is positive, I don't need financing, I will start accepting commercial advertising immediately, and the income can be increased by a part, and the cash flow is enough." ”

Tan Yaocheng sighed: "I really envy you, even Mr. Li often sighs, we are a group of Internet people who have come back from overseas, and we think that we are the most knowledgeable people in China, but they are not as good as you, now there are so many Internet companies in China, there are few who really find a business model, you are one of them, YY's income is so stable, and it is also the main reason why capital is particularly sought after by Makino Technology." ”

Li Mu said: "You can't just see YY's income, don't see YY's cost, we now have a team of hundreds of people, the labor cost, office cost are high to death, and the cost of server bandwidth is also very high." ”

Speaking of this, Li Mu couldn't help but ask him: "By the way, Mr. Tan, you should know a lot of senior talents in data processing, can you introduce me a little bit and help me set up a few IDCs (Internet data centers)." ”

Tan Yaocheng said: "You want to build a large-scale data center?"

Li Mu nodded: "I have had this idea for a long time, but there have been no high-end talents in this area, and our energy some time ago was focused on the competition with Tengxun, and now it is time to start taking precautions." ”

In the future, large Internet companies will cooperate with operators to build their own data centers, which can not only reduce costs, but also provide better servers and network support for their products.

Tan Yaocheng said: "When the time comes, I can introduce some senior engineers in the industry to you, I can give you some suggestions, and even help you solve some problems." ”

Li Mu smiled: "That's thank you so much, I'll invite you to dinner after the matter is completed." ”

Tan Yaocheng waved his hand: "The relationship between the two of us, this matter is still polite?"

Saying that, Tan Yaocheng also began to get into the topic, and said to Li Mu: "Actually, I asked you to come out to meet today because I want to communicate with you about something. ”

"You say. ”

Tan Yaocheng said: "That's the case, we have recently been inspired by Muye Technology, and want to take Baidu search as the core, develop dependent products, MP3 search, we are very interested, Mr. Li said that you promised him before, within three years, you will be from the easy listening network to get out of the house, and all the shares will be transferred to Baidu, so he wants me to ask you, can you do a round of equity acquisition first?"

Li Mu smiled and asked, "How much does Mr. Li want to buy?"

Tan Yaocheng said: "What Mr. Li means is to give Yiting.com a valuation of 500 million, and we will buy 30% of the shares from you and another shareholder in cash." ”

Li Mu nodded, the offer of 500 million is not low, after all, it is difficult to find a profit model in the field of mp3 search, audition and download, and can only do the simplest traffic advertising, judging from the current traffic of Yiting.com, the potential of advertising revenue is about one or two million per month, even if there is room for growth, but on the whole, it is not worth 500 million.

If it is sold to other companies, it is estimated that it will be one or two hundred million top days, but Li Mu will definitely not sell it at this price, and other companies may not buy it if it is high, but it is different for Baidu, their core business is search, now the demand for mp3 search is increasing, but easy to listen to the network controls most of the traffic and users, Baidu wants to improve the volume of its search service, it is necessary to take down mp3, a huge source of traffic.

Li Mu asked Tan Yaocheng: "If you control Yiting.com, do you want to use Yiting.com to do Baidu's mp3 search?"

Tan Yaocheng knew that he couldn't hide it from Li Mu, so he nodded frankly: "We also need some new business to improve user viscosity now." ”

Li Mu said: "Lao Tan, we have a good relationship, but private affairs are private affairs, business affairs are public affairs, if Baidu has this idea, then I want to say ugly things in front, even if I promise to transfer 30% of the shares to Baidu, I will at most let Baidu open a special entrance to Yiting.com, and will not let Yiting.com in turn divert traffic to Baidu's products or make wedding dresses." ”

Li Mu knows what Baidu is thinking, Baidu wants to integrate Yiting.com into the Baidu search engine, and they must focus on doing their own mp3 search, so if they give them Yiting.com, they can't think about how to make Yiting.com better, they will only think about how to guide the users of Yiting.com to their own mp3 search section as much as possible.

Tan Yaocheng listened to Li Mu's words so absolutely, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Li Mu, to be honest, if Yiting.com can't guide our own products, then Yiting.com will be meaningless to us." ”

Li Mu said: "How is it meaningless, at least you have 30% of the shares of Yiting.com, even if you can't integrate Yiting.com into Baidu search, this is also one of the assets of your Baidu company, you invested 5 million at the beginning, and now 30% of the shares of Yiting.com are at least worth more than 50 million, this is not yet a year, you have made a lot of money." ”

Tan Yaocheng said stupidly: "If you hadn't driven us out of the car halfway, our original five million would be at least five hundred million now!"

Li Mu snorted and laughed: "Old Tan, taking 10,000 yuan to open an account and speculate in stocks is often shaken off by the dealer, not to mention that the millions of dollars invested in a company?

Tan Yaocheng smiled bitterly: "You are right, we are not strong-willed, and we didn't say anything more about this matter, but to be honest, Yiting.com is really not very useful to you now, but the meaning is different for us, if you give Yiting.com to Baidu now, Baidu will definitely be able to give you greater returns on resources in the future." ”

Li Mu said: "Lao Tan, who told you that Yiting.com is not important to me? To tell you the truth, I just did an analysis of the MP3 trial download market some time ago, and did an analysis of competing products in the same industry, and now the demand for digital music among netizens is rising, and it will soon become the first category with the highest proportion of Internet users' search behavior, how can I give you Yiting.com in this case?"

Tan Yaocheng looked at Li Mu in surprise and subconsciously asked him: "Do you still have time and energy to study the digital music market?!"

Tan Yaocheng didn't expect Li Mu to have such a clear understanding of the current development momentum of MP3,Baidu's own internal data shows that now Baidu users search every day,More than 25% are related to MP3,And this proportion is still increasing,So MP3 has become the category with the highest user search behavior,Users search in other aspects are all-inclusive,But any category,Now it can't be compared with MP3。 (To be continued.) )
