Two days after Li Mu went to Los Angeles, several Venture Capitals, led by Sequoia, have been overwhelmed.
I was always amazed by the rising data of Muye Science and Technology. As a result, when I turned around, Li Mu ran to Hollywood, and participated in a charity dinner with a well-known director. It immediately became the focus of the entire United States.
Li Mu has become the focus of society, and the number of users of YY and "Paradise Town" will continue to soar. The increase in the number of users will inevitably boost the flow of the entire platform.
For the current Muye Science and Technology, the number of users and pipeline are the key factors that affect the valuation.
If you let Muye Science and Technology wash all the netizens around the world and make them all YY users, then Muye Science and Technology may even become the world's most valuable internet company.
The most important reason why the industry gives Muye Science and Technology and YY such a high estimate is that the viscosity of YY users is too high, and the proportion of users paying is also scary.
In this era, such products are almost invincible. Even if other products can achieve the user scale of YY, they will never be able to pay for YY. MSN and ICQ have not been adding value. The service has found a way out. At the most prosperous stage of such a product, the overall flow of this product is less than 1% of YY's current total flow. Li Mu has too many ways to make money, and the win is won. YY users are willing to be complicated Paid for value-added services.
YY is now spreading all over the world so fast that many internet companies and analysts think that YY is most likely to be the first super software to cover Internet users around the world. It is very likely to stand on the position of the world's first internet company. For such a company, Venture Capital has completely lost its previous arrogance. What I thought about is one thing, and I will soon invest in Muye Science and Technology.
C round is definitely the last round of financing for Muye Science and Technology. Li Mu will definitely send it to NASDAQ in the next step, so now it is the last chance left for Venture Capital to get on the bus.
Sequoia executives have been hesitant about the final offer. The valuation of 22 billion USD has already become a thing of the past. When Li Mu conquered the entire US audience at Harvard, the valuation of Muye Science and Technology is equivalent to continuous pull. Several daily limit, this extremely important good news, some companies can not meet once in a lifetime.
Just before the Sequoia executives were ready to come up with an offer of 30 billion USD, it happened that Li Mu had just left Hollywood and returned to Silicon Valley. Anne Hathaway in Hollywood accepted the Hollywood authoritative magazine "Hollywood Reporter" And a joint interview with Hollywood and TV Station.
In this exclusive interview, most of the questions the media asked Anne Hathaway were related to Li Mu.
No way, the American people are now particularly concerned about the emotional issues of this American little princess. Everyone is looking forward to the moment when she establishes a relationship with Li Mu. Although Li Mu's Muye Science and Technology represents a victory for the China internet industry in the United States, it is a great victory For the people, if Li Mu can fall in love with an American girl, it will also be a victory for the American people to a certain extent.
Media reporters asked Anne Hathaway many questions related to Li Mu, such as how she knew Li Mu, her impression of Li Mu's, their relationship and how they would develop in the future.
Anne Hathaway did n’t dare to talk nonsense to the media, so she answered every question very cautiously. For example, she and Li Mu were just new to each other and they were not familiar with it. As for her impression of Li Mu's, she used it more In addition to the word of worship, Li Mu is completely described as his biggest idol.
Seeing Anne Hathaway clarify her relationship with Li Mu's, the reporter of "Hollywood Reporter" couldn't help but ask her: "Did you have no plans to further develop with Li Mu?"
Anne Hathaway did n’t know how to answer this sharp question for a while. After thinking about it, she could only say: "I have no plans in this regard, and we have only met ordinary friends who met twice. As for what will happen in the future, I prefer to let it go. "
The reporter asked her: "I have only met twice, have you exchanged contact information?"
"Of course." Anne Hathaway said: "We added each other's YY friends."
Anne Hathaway made a media oral broadcast for YY, which raised the popularity of YY again.
After some of Anne Hathaway ’s interview was broadcast on TV, it was like the last straw that crushed the camel, and the Sequoia board could n’t sit still.
The exposure of YY in the entire Western society is almost continuous and ubiquitous. In this case, it is impossible to wait for the topic of YY to cool down in the Western world. In this case, the more you wait, the valuation of Muye Science and Technology The higher.
The day after Li Mu returned to Silicon Valley, Ding Zhenglin told him that Sequoia adjusted the offer again. This time, Sequoia Capital gave a valuation of Muye Science and Technology30 billion USD.
30 billion USD!
As long as Li Mu nods, 3 billion USD cash will be credited immediately. This money is of great significance to the future strategic layout of Li Mu's world internet.
Li Mu was almost ready to agree, but suddenly thought of something that was ignored by himself.
The Yahoo reporter stunned himself at the Harvard media meeting. He promised to engage in the English Portal network and vigorously do the promise of YY mailbox has not been fulfilled yet.
Li Mu immediately made two decisions.
First, immediately dig the content team of English Portal such as Yahoo and so on. It is a real heavy money, directly giving more than five times the treatment, ensuring that a strong English content operation team is quickly won, as long as the content team arrives, directly in YY Open an English version online to meet the needs of English Portal, and it will be available soon;
Second, immediately turn off the YY mailbox's support for sending and receiving Yahoo mailboxes;
The first one still needs time to execute step by step, but the second one is too simple.
Li Mu must use strong means to force mailbox users to stand in line.
YY's mailbox function is indeed very powerful, and it is irreplaceable for Business people. YY's email reminder function is extremely convenient, not to mention that it nests a whole set of Foxmail-like sending and receiving functions, and YY Exclusive online preview function. In this case, even if the YY user does not register the YY mailbox, it will definitely use the YY mailbox to send and receive other mailboxes. YY users who use the Yahoo mailbox can directly add their own Yahoo mailbox to the YY mailbox. In this way, you can use Yahoo mailbox on YY, and use the entire set of functions of YY mailbox.
However, after YY stopped supporting Yahoo mailbox generation, YY users of Yahoo mailboxes can no longer use YY's own mailbox-related functions to support their Yahoo mailboxes.
This trick is the bottom draw of Li Mu for Yahoo. For YY users who use Yahoo mailbox, if they want to continue to use YY's strong support for mailbox function, then they must replace Yahoo mailbox and choose any other than Yahoo mailbox.
So, Muye Science and Technology announced: "Because there are technical problems with the internal interface of YY mailbox, it is currently unable to support the generation of sending and receiving support for Yahoo mailbox, please all users know!"
Muye Science and Technology did not say that it deliberately blocked the sending and receiving support for Yahoo mailboxes, but adopted the "technical problems" such rhetoric, mainly for the sake of reasoning, I did not intentionally stop the Yahoo mailbox. Support is only due to technical issues and I have to stop, and I do n’t know when to recover, maybe tomorrow, or next year.
This kind of rhetoric is basically impeccable, because then, even if the whole world knows that Muye Science and Technology is intentional, no one can accuse Muye Science and Technology of anything.
Mailbox sending and receiving function is a free additional function of YY mailbox. Muye Science and Technology itself is not obligated to provide 100% support for the sending and receiving function. If some mailboxes cannot be supported due to technical reasons, the service for certain mailboxes will be suspended. , Is completely reasonable and legal.
As soon as the announcement of Muye Science and Technology was launched, Yahoo immediately realized the great influence of Muye Science and Technology.
At present, about 40% of Yahoo mailbox users use the YY mailbox's generation and sending function to facilitate their own operation requirements for Yahoo mailbox in YY's software environment. Now YY has stopped supporting Yahoo mailbox. 40% of users were flashed at once.
The share price of Yahoo fell by 7% at a stretch because of this incident, which shows the proportion of mailbox services in the entire Yahoo system.
YY is a closed ecological product of Li Mu's. He allows YY mailbox to support sending and receiving for other mailboxes, but it is equivalent to opening a little gap of YY closed ecosystem, but for users of Yahoo mailboxes, they are super For a strong experience, I had to immediately abandon the Yahoo mailbox and switch to other mailboxes, and gradually transition to other mailboxes.
In the face of products with super high viscosity, such as YY, those who have to choose one or the other, almost all choose YY, so the loss of Yahoo mailbox users is huge!
A large number of Yahoo mailbox users have begun to migrate their mailboxes to other platforms, and this is just the beginning of Li Mu and Yahoo, not just mailboxes, everyone is still waiting for Li Mu to fulfill all his promises, which is the larger Yahoo The lifeblood of darling-Portal website.
Muye Science and Technology subsequently released an open recruitment letter to entire US countries for high-paying recruitment of website content personnel. although did not specify the purpose of Muye Science and Technology recruitment of website content personnel, but everyone knows that Li Mu is really doing the English version of YY. Once The English version of YY is online, and with pop-up window of YY, Li Mu can almost monopolize traffic resources.
The practice of Li Mu's has made the entire US online acclaimed, because everyone has seen the scene of Yahoo reporter Li Mu's, and they all feel that the Yahoo reporter is a bit too arrogant, and now Li Mu suddenly angered and counterattacked, which is particularly consistent with itself. Americans ’values, they are just looking forward to YY can bring some greater impact to Yahoo, so that Yahoo know the price of arrogance and arrogance.
So, online public opinion scolded Yahoo, saying that Yahoo was self-reliant this time, and it really responded to what Li Mu said at the press conference: "It is impossible to affect Muye Science and Technology with the current Yahoo, on the contrary , Muye Science and Technology has many aspects that can affect Yahoo! "
