History has many accidents and many inevitables. The concept of centralization is the inevitable development of internet to a certain stage. However, the dominance of Li Mu over Yahoo makes Ben. Clarkson accidentally become the proposer of this concept.
And Ben. Clarkson came up with this concept and made himself particularly recognized by the entire industry. At the same time, he also used this concept to reward Li Mu.
The concept of centralization is put forward. The only products on the market that can meet the requirements are generally two, one is YY, and the other is Microsoft Windows.
However, Windows itself is a platform that is open to all developers. This is very different from YY. Any software developer can develop their own products on Windows, and it does not need to be reviewed by Microsoft and Windows. Approved, but YY is different. All of its product functions are split, and YY owns 100% control.
Take the current YY game platform, Li Mu can allow other chess and card game development companies today to put their own games under the YY game platform, and then divide the game flow into game development companies, but he You can also let the other party's game off the platform at any time. YY has absolute control over the YY game platform. In this way, it is a truly centralized product.
This is true for a YY game, not to mention the ecology of the entire YY product.
As the only representative product of the current centralized concept, YY's attention has once again been boosted. This time, companies in the industry have regarded Muye Science and Technology as a god, and let it be done accidentally. Such a large scale, and such a strong influence, makes the entire internet industry amazing.
So, Li Mu made a final offer to Sequoia at the negotiating table: Muye Science and Technology C round of financing was valued at 33 billion USD, Sequoia acquired 3.3% of Muye Science and Technology ’s 10% shares in cash of 3.3 billion USD, and these 10% of the shares were made by The existing shareholders of Muye Science and Technology are diluted proportionally, but Sequoia only owns equity, does not have any voting rights, and must not interfere with the daily operations of the company. At the same time, Muye Science and Technology will take out 300 million USD from this 3.3 billion USD as the financing. Shareholder cash-out portion.
That is to say, 3.3 billion USD comes in, 3 billion USD goes into the Muye Science and Technology book, and the remaining 300 million USD is distributed in proportion by all shareholders before the share dilution. One point can be diluted to 0.9 points. , Get three million USD cash.
And these three million USD got it, and the remaining 0.9 points are still there. Calculated with a market value of 33 billion yuan, 0.9 percentage points, the market value is also close to 300 million USD!
Sequoia was killed and did not want to sign this agreement.
First of all, they just barely accepted the valuation of 30 billion yuan, and suddenly increased another 3 billion yuan. This valuation has grown too fast, and the heart ca n’t stand it;
Second, they do n’t want the shareholders of Muye Science and Technology to cash in this round. They invested 10% on the basis of a valuation of 30 billion yuan. After the 3 billion USD was given to Muye Science and Technology, they were all used for the company ’s subsequent development funds. If they do, they can still be more balanced.
The current requirement of Li Mu is basically to suddenly let Sequoia get 300 million more USD, so that he can use it to give you a point. Sequoia person in charge has the heart of death, you team, let us take three more Billion USD, how can there be such a domineering thing?
However, Li Mu is so overbearing.
He has long seen the essence of capital, capital is profit-seeking, whether it is angel investment or venture capital, his mother is profit-seeking, no matter how good angel investors will not vote for certain For the project, they looked as if they were brilliant, and they said to the entrepreneurs who are struggling to survive, "Come, come to me, I will give you money for you to develop."
In fact, their subtext is: "Come, let Dad see if you have the potential to make money. If so, let Dad buy stocks at a low price."
For companies with promising prospects but not so clear, they are willing to provide capital as a father, but the capital father may not think of it as a son; for those companies with a bright future, Instead, Capital is willing to kneel to call them dad, as long as his dad can let him into a part of the shares, everything else is easy to say.
Li Mu does n’t want to play such a foolish thing with Capital. Since everyone is profit-seeking, then I will give you my final offer. You are willing to agree that everyone will shake hands and sign the contract, and they will be tied together ; If you do n’t agree, I wo n’t keep you if you take the table and leave. If you leave, I will use the same offer to find other people.
Sequoia was tortured crazy by Li Mu. Since Muye Science and Technology has n’t been out and the valuation has been billions of USD, negotiations have begun; talking about the United States, YY has a fiery/popular in the elite group, and value it. It has become more than 10 billion; then Li Mu will not be talked about again. In one breath, "Heavenly Town" has won the attention of entire US. YY has washed a large wave of users, and the number of users has doubled; this is not considered After that, Li Mu turned to Harvard. When he returned from New York and Hollywood, Muye Science and Technology was already 30 billion yuan.
Sequoia has been investing for so many years, and has never seen a Li Mu player with such rhythm. Every time they can only stun the looks at Li Mu's strategy and tactics, lamenting: "How can there be such an operation under the world?"
Li Mu is like a super e-sports master. He just got into the wild area and walked around for a while, and then came out after the fart effort, he is already a super **** costume.
Li Mu makes everything impossible, and he is also making the valuation of Muye Science and Technology330 billion USD possible.
Because the Li Mu's is extremely tough and leaves no room, Sequoia finally announced that after struggling for two days, it accepted the Li Mu's financing conditions and formally started its due diligence work before financing.
The Sequoia, didn't expect, was simply stolen by Li Mu.
Li Mu directly responded to Sequoia in the form of an official letter in its own name and at the company level. The core content is: "What are you doing with us? By this time, who still has time to accompany you in financing?" Before signing the contract, I can first open the company's general market revenue data to you. Once the contract is signed, I will open the financial affairs account information to you. After you read it, you will pay immediately. After payment, everyone officially completes the financing and I accept you. Regular audits, that's all. If you want to withdraw in the middle, you can withdraw before the financing or IPO. If you don't want to withdraw, make your own decision in the stock market next year or after the IPO. "
At the end of the official letter, the Li Mu's request is: "Consider as soon as possible, reply as soon as possible, I don't have much time to waste on waiting."
Sequoia can't laugh or cry.
Li Mu is really a rare hegemony company, financing can be so domineering, this China person is really unusual, the key is that Sequoia can not have a temper at all, who makes people grow fast and scare people, valuation update The speed is too fast. If it is impossible to toss something out tomorrow, 33 billion people disagree.
In fact, Li Mu still has a magic weapon to improve the valuation of Muye Science and Technology. This magic weapon is the "Plant Wars Zombie(s)" that he changed into the social network network game. After this game is tested internally, everyone in the game development team I don't think this game is too fun, so **** crazy. If there is no boss staring, I am afraid that the entire department will be deserted in this game.
Li Mu magically modified "Plant Wars Zombie(s)" has almost become "Plant Wars Zombie(s)Online", and pays great attention to the interaction and cooperation with friends, for users who have played the normal "Plant Wars Zombie(s)" may also It's not a habit to play, but for users of this era, who have never played "Plant Wars Zombie(s)", and haven't even played a serious tower defense game, this game is fun and simply toxic!
If this game is taken out now, it will be promoted through YY, which is currently experiencing a surge in users. I am afraid that it will take a few days to become popular in the world, but Li Mu also has his difficulties now.
First of all, two super-large activities of "Paradise Town" are advancing. No one can beat it in the game field, and no one can beat it. At this time, if the "Plant Wars Zombie(s)" is launched, these two activities will be robbed directly. In the end, it turned out that no one can beat "Paradise Town". Li Mu defeated it with a new product, which is internal friction and is not desirable;
Secondly, "Plant Wars Zombie(s)" is an online game, that is, it requires server bandwidth to support it.
If you only support hundreds or thousands of people to play, then this server bandwidth requirement is not a fart for Muye Science and Technology.
But Li Mu is too clear about the magic of "Plant Wars Zombie(s)", this thing is all the rage, faster than Uncle Bird's horseback dance, it may catch fire all over the world overnight, as a result, the server of "Plant Wars Zombie(s)" What needs to be carried is probably the huge demand for tens of millions of simultaneous games;
Moreover, the overall game rhythm of this game is much faster than that of "Paradise Town". "Paradise Town" is a management game that collects corn in the fields, feeds chickens in chicken pens, and turns over tasks in NPG. Even if there are certain lags and delays in data processing, users can not only tolerate it, and sometimes they can't even feel it.
But if the friends of "Plant Wars Zombie(s)" appear to be stuck and delayed, it is almost terrible, and it is about to plant a pea shooter, and the result is stuck. After the reaction, this way has been pushed by Zombie(s). The user experience is definitely the same as a dog. If the user's online experience is too bad because of the server's weak load, and the game is turned to stand-alone mode, the biggest meaning of this game is completely abolished.
Building "Plant War Zombie(s)Online" that supports tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of users, Li Mu really needs to establish at least five to six large data processing centers around the world, otherwise this game cannot be brought out.
So, Li Mu has no way to take out the "Plant Wars Zombie(s)Online" first and raise the valuation. It can only raise funds first, and then invest funds to build a data processing center, wait for the data processing center to be built, and then launch the "Plant Wars Zombie(s)Online" ".
In the internet game industry, most games are affected and restricted by region and culture when they are structured and developed. Therefore, local fiery/popular often appears, and the phenomenon of overseas weakness is weak, except for the strange types such as "World of Warcraft". There are really few online games that can take the world by storm.
But it is extremely rare to be able to popularize the five continents like "Plant War Zombie(s)" without hindrance. Li Mu has high hopes for this game. In his view, the development space of this game is far from "Heaven" Above the Town.
