Larry Page has been in a better mood in recent days.

For him, the worst day was the first day of flying from the United States to China, and he was not only extremely tired on that day, but also frightened by Li Mu's intimidation and threats.

However, since Google compromised as a whole, accepted Li Mu's request and decided to acquire Muye&Baidu, and reached an agreement with Li Mu, Larry Page's mood has been rising like the temperature in Yanjing.

Google's growing popularity in the capital market is the key to Larry Page's rising mood, and what makes him even more excited is the importance that Li Mu attaches to this cooperation.

Li Mu invited so many elites in the field of Internet and capital to make the cooperation between Google and Makino Technology a global hot spot, and this positive attitude made the capital market realize that Li Mu really wants to cooperate with Google fully and in-depth, and he endorses Google, which is a great support for Google's valuation.

At this time, Larry Page was chatting with a few Silicon Valley friends with a red face, Li Mu walked to him with Mark Zuckerberg, several Silicon Valley elites saw Li Mu coming, and hurriedly greeted Li Mu enthusiastically, Larry Page turned his head and saw that it was Li Mu, and immediately turned around and said with a smile: "Hello Mr. Li." ”

Li Mu nodded in response, and then said to a few people: "I'm here to introduce you to a friend, Mark Zuckerberg, who is now studying at Harvard University. ”

Mark Zuckerberg hurriedly waved his hand at several people and said shyly: "Hi, everyone, my name is Mark Zuckerberg, you can call me Mark." ”

"Hi Mark. Larry Page shook hands with him warmly and introduced himself.

However, several people didn't understand it in their hearts, it stands to reason that Li Mu is the person with the highest coffee position and the highest value among the entrepreneurs present today, and even Larry Page, who is worth a billion dollars, is obviously not a rank in front of him, but Mark Zuckerberg, a young man who looks like he is only in his early twenties, why is Li Mu so valued, and even recommended to everyone by Li Mu himself?

Li Mu saw the surprise in the eyes of several people, and said to a few people with a smile: "Mark Zuckerberg is my partner, he has an entrepreneurial project, and I voted for the angel round." ”

As soon as I heard that Mark Zuckerberg actually took Li Mu's investment, everyone immediately looked at him, a college student's entrepreneurial project, it stands to reason that even a small venture capital fund is difficult to impress, but he directly got the investment of the top boss in the Internet industry, what is so special about this kid?

Larry Page was also shocked and asked curiously, "Mark, what's the name of the project you're working on right now?"

Mark Zuckerberg said: "Hello Mr. Page, the project I'm working on right now is called Facebook, which is an EB-based social product. ”

"Oh! it turned out to be Facebook!" The bigwigs present made a sudden realization, Larry Page said: "I used Facebook, the experience was very good, some time ago a college classmate of mine told me about this product, I used it to find a girl I had a crush on in college. ”

Others also nodded, as Silicon Valley elites, they have a close eye on every product born on the Internet, although Facebook was founded in Harvard, thousands of kilometers away from Silicon Valley, but after all, it is a project with more than six million US dollars of angel round investment from Li Mu, with the blessing of funds, Facebook has become well-known among college students, and Silicon Valley has naturally paid attention to this product.

However, several people present, including Larry Page, have never thought that Facebook is a project with great potential, because in their opinion, this is a page product for college students to make friends, the user audience is narrow, and with the rise of YY, the world's Internet industry attaches more importance to client products, and the recognition of client products is much greater than EB products, so they have not paid much attention to Facebook's more situation.

Li Mu opened his mouth and said to Larry Page: "Facebook may become a part of the YY ecosystem in the future, so in the future, Google needs to do some diversion for it at the entrance of the search engine, and when you return to Silicon Valley, you can help arrange it." ”

As soon as Larry Page heard that Li Mu wanted to merge Facebook into the YY ecosystem in the future, he also understood why Li Mu wanted to invest in this project, many large enterprises will be like sowing seeds in a large area of small entrepreneurial projects outside, first put them outside to develop, if the development is good, they will take back the key cultivation within the group, if the development is not good, let it fend for itself.

The reason why the project is not put in the system at the beginning of the training, mainly because of the lack of energy, such as Tengxun enterprises, in the external capital investment projects at least three digits, all put in the system, Tengxun's own energy can not be taken care of, resources can not be taken care of, if a three-digit project of milk milk, no matter how high the milk production of the cow will be dragged down, rather than this, it is better to do a preliminary screening, each project to give some money, and then let it fight on its own, out of the focus on training, not out of the head to die is not painful.

Speaking of which, this investment method is similar to the legend of the Tibetan mastiff, let God help do a round of preliminary screening first.

But. What Larry Page didn't expect was that Li Mu didn't tell him the truth.

Facebook is very important in Li Mu's future territory, but he is not ready to absorb Facebook into Makino Technology, which comes from his long-standing opinion: no matter how big the pie is, it is not as big as the pot that bakes it.

Therefore, he hopes that Facebook can thrive outside the ecology of Makino Technology, and does not need to be framed by Makino Technology, so that he will have the opportunity to get a super product of the same magnitude as YY in the future.

Larry Page asked Li Mu: "Mr. Li, what channels does Facebook need to use to divert traffic?"

Li Mu said: "You first ask the technical team to manually intervene in the keywords of all the university names in the world, and I hope that when users search for the name of any university in the world on Google, the search results on Facebook can rank in the top three." ”

Larry Page nodded, readily agreed, and said, "No problem, I'll write an email when I get back tonight." ”

Li Mu was very satisfied with Larry Page's attitude and efficiency, and said: "Facebook will become a highly vertical project of Makino Technology in the college student group in the future, so the accurate traffic of the college student group is needed in the early stage. ”

Larry Page hurriedly said: "Mr. Li doesn't need to be so polite, Makino Technology is about to become a shareholder of Google, not only Makino Technology, including all the companies you invest in will become Google's strategic partners, and it is also what we should do to contribute to strategic partners." ”

One of the Silicon Valley elites said to Mark Zuckerberg, "Hey Mark, what's your company?"

Mark Zuckerberg hurriedly replied, "The company is in the city of Cambridge, and our office space is right next to Harvard. ”

The man smiled and said, "You should move the company to Silicon Valley, which is the heart of the Internet, people in Silicon Valley, surrounded by resources, the East Coast is too far away, and there is not enough soil." ”

Mark Zuckerberg nodded and said, "There is a real lack of soil on the East Coast, but I'm still in school, and I can't move the company to the West Coast just yet." ”

Larry Page asked him, "Mark, are you not going to take a break or drop out?"

Mark Zuckerberg scratched his head and said, "I'm still hesitating, let's see how the company develops next, if it develops rapidly, then I'll take a leave of absence." ”

Larry Page said seriously: "To be honest, if you start a part-time business, it is not difficult for the company to achieve small-scale success, but it is still very difficult to achieve large-scale success, and the same is true for athletes. Rugby player, but if you don't turn into a professional athlete and participate in a professional league, his level will never break through to a higher level, you are now a relatively good college basketball player in the college community, but Silicon Valley is the NBA, if you want to become the next Jordan, you need to join the NBA as soon as possible, and you can go back to make up for it in the future, but if the golden period as an athlete is wasted, it will be a real pity. ”

Mark Zuckerberg's expression with a shy smile was a little solemn all of a sudden, he did think about whether to take a break from school first, and do his best to make Facebook, but then it was still unresolved because of hesitation, Larry Page's words for him, like an enlightenment, made him understand at once that if he wants to do Facebook well and become bigger, he must temporarily give up his studies and devote all his energy to entrepreneurship.

Li Mu on the side did not express his position, but for him, he also hopes that Mark Zuckerberg can get rid of the shackles of school as soon as possible and concentrate all his energy on entrepreneurship, as Larry Page said, the golden period of athletes is very important, and the golden period of entrepreneurship is equally precious, but the golden period of athletes is young, and the golden period of entrepreneurship is opportunity.

The decade from 2000 to 2010 is really the perfect era for the growth and development of Internet giants all over the world, and then those bigwigs who can earn more than 10 billion US dollars by relying solely on the Internet are all making their fortunes during this time period without exception, and those who entered the Internet after 2010, even if they grow into bigwigs, are a grade worse than the giants in this period.

Take the Huaxia Internet industry as an example, Mr. Ma, Boss Ma, and Robin all started in this perfect era, as well as Jingdong's Senior Brother Liu, NetEase's Ding Lei, and Sohu's Zhang Chaoyang also made their fortunes in this perfect era.

In his previous life, the Lei Sect Master stepped on the tail of this perfect era, founded Xiaomi in 2010, and finally seized the last opportunity to become a giant and earned himself a worth of tens of billions of dollars, otherwise just with Jinshan's business, the Lei Sect Master would be worth billions of yuan if he died;

Meituan's Wang Xing is the same, the entrepreneurial journey before Meituan was relatively bumpy, but he also stepped on the tail of 2010 to found Meituan, and survived the 100-group war that year, becoming a giant in the true sense.

For Mark Zuckerberg, the early stage of Facebook he did was EB social, and the golden period that could be grasped was even shorter, if Facebook couldn't get up before the arrival of the mobile Internet era, then it really couldn't get up, and he was now in a window of no more than five years.

If you insist on finishing college, the window period may have passed, and when the era of mobile Internet comes, it is a fool's dream to want to make an EB product of Niu X!

Mark Zuckerberg was entangled in his heart, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Li Mu, hoping that Li Mu could give him some advice, but at this moment when he looked at Li Mu, he suddenly realized in his mind!

Isn't Li Mu the most typical example? He did not hesitate to terminate his studies at the stage of starting a business, and then miraculously built a 100 billion dollar Internet empire.
