The public relations staff of Makino Technology arranged all the dignitaries invited to participate in the event in a five-star hotel, and the other invited guests and reporters were arranged in other five-star hotels.

According to the fixed routine of the business circle, Li Mu held a small cocktail party in his personal name in the hotel where the dignitaries stayed the day before the signing ceremony, which was regarded as a small warm-up before the opening.

Several of Li Mu's in-depth partners were invited, in addition to the CEOs of several major Silicon Valley Internet companies, as well as several capital leaders on Wall Street.

Before the start of the reception, Li Ziwei jokingly said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, at today's reception, the entrepreneurs present are worth hundreds of billions of dollars, which is conservatively estimated to be more than four trillion yuan. ”

"It's nothing. Li Mu said with a smile: "Wait a few years, and when we hold the Makino Technology Developer Conference, the combined worth of the participating entrepreneurs may exceed several trillion US dollars." ”

Li Ziwei asked him curiously: "What does the developer conference mean?"

Li Mu said with a smile: "In the future, we will create one or more global mobile platforms, which will be open to all developers around the world, just like Indos." ”

"Probably understood. Li Ziwei smiled and said: "By the way, Mr. Li, there are many people who want to meet with you in private in the evening, can you see if you can arrange a time window for the meeting?"

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "You can spare time from nine o'clock to ten o'clock, but who want to meet me?"

"A lot. Li Ziwei said: "Cisco, IBM, HP and even Microsoft, the senior executives of Silicon Valley companies want to talk to you privately, I helped you screen, there are two people worth meeting, one is Oracle's CEO, founder Larryellison, and Sequoia." ”

Li Mu nodded lightly and analyzed: "There is no room for in-depth cooperation among hardware companies, and companies like Microsoft can come out to talk to me must be some vain things, Oracle should regard us as a potential big customer, and want to cooperate deeply with our cloud computing, Sequoia needless to say, it must be to talk about our follow-up capital operation......"

Li Ziwei said: "I also think so, so the other few directly refused, if you are interested, I will call them back later, if you are not interested, I will directly refuse." ”

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Reject the oracle bone inscription, and only see Sequoia's tonight." ”

Li Ziwei hurriedly said: "Then I'll convey it to his secretary later, the time is set at nine o'clock, and the location is set in a business suite reserved by us in this hotel, what do you think?"

"No problem. ”

For Li Mu, all the people who regard him as a customer, he regards the other party as a grandson, because he is the object they want to fight for with their sharpened heads, for such people, even if they hope to be able to cooperate with them in depth, the initial shelf must be very sufficient.

As for Sequoia, after all, it is its own partner, and there is more room for in-depth cooperation in the future, so it is a good thing for both parties to talk more with their person in charge.

The reception organized by Li Mu was very simple, it was nothing more than to charter the entire hotel's banquet hall, and then strengthen the security work several times to ensure that no one would disturb and affect it here, in addition, there was no deliberate decoration of the internal environment of the banquet hall, and there was no special upgrade of the services provided by the banquet hall, everything was in accordance with the standards of a normal five-star hotel.

For ordinary people, a five-star hotel-standard drinking party is definitely luxurious, but for these bigwigs with a net worth of more than 100 million, participating in such a drinking party is no different from sitting on the side of the road and eating Malatang.

Li Mu has long heard that many of these bigwigs have spent tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars to buy ultra-luxury private jets and cruise ships, and usually take Hollywood star models to fly around the world to participate in various high-level parties, and the degree of luxury is better than that of a royal family like Dubai.

Li Mu walked into the banquet ten minutes before the start of the reception, at this time there were already more than 20 people in the banquet hall holding wine glasses in groups of three or five chatting, because there were no media reporters on the scene, so every guest behaved very relaxed and natural.

Seeing Li Mu come in, one of the guests picked up the goblet with the cocktail in his hand, and then gently tapped the outside of the wine glass with the ring on his finger, making a pleasant jingling sound, after attracting the attention of most people, this person smiled and said: "Everyone, Mr. Li is here." ”

The others looked at Li Mu, who had just walked into the banquet hall, so everyone picked up their wine glasses one after another, and used various ways to make the wine glasses make a crisp tapping sound, so as to welcome the host of this reception.

Li Mu didn't expect everyone to come out like this suddenly, so he hurriedly stopped, folded his hands and bowed slightly to thank everyone, after all, these were all guests who came from afar to cheer.

At this time, someone said in English: "Mr. Li, as today's master, shouldn't you say something?"

As soon as the words fell, many people chimed in: "Yes, Mr. Li, say something!"

Li Mu looked around and found a lot of familiar faces, not only his partners in the field of entrepreneurship, but also Spielberg, Tom Hanks, Leonardo, Anne Hathaway, the main creative team of "Flying Tigers", they should have suspended the filming of the movie and rushed over from Yun Province.

Li Mu picked up the wine glass, and after slightly signaling to the four people, he said with a smile: "Thank you for coming thousands of miles to support tomorrow's signing ceremony, your support is of great significance to me and to Makino Technology, and I hope you can have fun tonight, finally, welcome to Huaxia! Thank you!"

Everyone applauded politely, and Larryellison, the founder of Oracle, said to Li Mu with a smile: "Mr. Li, I am Larryellison, the CEO of Oracle, and I want to find an opportunity to talk to you about the possibility of future cooperation when I come to China this time." ”

Li Mu nodded, smiled indifferently, and said, "Thank you, larry, when I finish the matter in front of me, if I have time, I will ask my assistant to contact you." ”

Larryellison raised his glass and nodded, "Then I'll wait for your news." ”

Li Mu responded, then took the wine glass and took turns to greet all the people present one by one.

Since most people didn't know Li Mu, he chose to greet the strangers he met for the first time, and then go to his acquaintances and partners to say a few words.

So Li Mu started with the stranger closest to him, and the process was very simple, it was nothing more than saying hello to each other first, then asking about the origin, then greeting a few more words, and finally changing to the next one.

When it came to the fourth person, a man in his forties shook hands with Li Mu and said, "Hello Mr. Li, I am Pete, the vice president of Microsoft, although Bill wants to come in person, but there have been a lot of things recently, so he entrusted me to say hello to you." ”

Li Mu shook hands with him and said with a smile: "Thank you, and thank me for helping me, Mr. Gates." ”

Pete nodded and said with a smile: "Bill has always admired Mr. Li very much, he often said that in the near future, Makino Technology can not only become the world's largest Internet company, but even the world's largest enterprise, and he is very optimistic about Mr. Li's future." ”

Li Mu smiled: "Mr. Gates really thinks too highly of me. ”

Pete said: "Bill also asked me to tell Mr. Li that if Mr. Li goes to the United States next time, he will definitely go to Silicon Valley to meet you." ”

"Okay. Li Mu smiled: "If he has time, I am always welcome." ”

After a few pleasantries, Li Mu was about to find a reason to temporarily say goodbye and then go to be polite to others, at this time, Pete suddenly asked Li Mu: "By the way, Mr. Li, the whole Silicon Valley has been discussing your titter division recently, can you tell us what this division does?"

Li Mu smiled: "About the titter, I can only say that it is our next new product with a very high strategic position, and it is also a very interesting product, as for what kind of product it is, I can't disclose it for the time being, but it is expected that the titter will officially meet with global users this fall." ”

Pete nodded a little disappointed and said, "Well, we're looking forward to the day when Makino Technology's new products are released!"

Although the words were polite, Pete felt a little gray in his heart.

The reason why he came to this cocktail party and tomorrow's signing ceremony is because Bill Gates himself is unwilling to attend, and on the other hand, he also hopes to take the opportunity to learn about the situation of Makino Technology, especially the titter who is now being closely watched.

During this time, Microsoft has been feeling a lot of pressure, most of the pressure comes from Makino Technology, Makino Technology has killed MSN, and also killed MSN's portal, so that the portal traffic of MSN website has plummeted, if it were not for Microsoft in some users' IE browsers to set MSN homepage as the default page to visit, MSN's traffic will continue to plummet.

MSN and the withering of the website,Microsoft's social dream was completely shattered,And just when Microsoft was preparing to make its own search engine,Li Mu suddenly sold a shell company to Google,Although Google has been pitted a lot,But the combination of Google and Makino Technology is already a certainty,In this way,Microsoft's search engine dream,Before it started,It's already awakened。

Now, Microsoft is preparing a new project, this project is ready to integrate all of Microsoft's current life software, pages and applications, and package a new concept of indos-live software package, the so-called indos-live, which wants to express a kind of "indos life", the core is that the user only needs to have this indos-live, he can get everything he wants on the Internet.

This indo-live software package is a major layout of Microsoft in the next stage, however, due to the extremely powerful aura influence of Makino Technology, Microsoft now lacks enough confidence in this project, coupled with the recent rumors of the "titter topic", which makes Microsoft even more worried, and what they are most afraid of is that their own products will collide with the titter......
