Li Mu really wants to take the money of Sequoia, not only because of the strength of Sequoia, but also because of the unique internet gene on Sequoia.
There are many more capitals than Sequoia, but there are too few companies like Sequoia that have such a strong influence in internet.
Later generations, China internet has a shadow of Sequoia in half of the country. It belongs to the kind: almost all the internet companies that can vote are voted up, I feel not addictive, and then voted again, the master, and cooperate with such a internet capital , Not only more efficient, but also more worry-free.
But the capital itself is ruthless. Even if Li Mu is more inclined to Sequoia, it has to look at the money. Now Muye Science and Technology is developing too fast, and it has enough initiative in its own hands. There is no need to show it to Sequoia alone. it is good.
The only advantage of Sequoia in the mind of Li Mu is that when no one bids higher than Sequoia, he will choose it, and even with this advantage, Li Mu does not want to let Sequoia know, so he did not advertise himself. According to US news, the second did not have any clear communication with Sequoia in advance, that is, to surprise Sequoia and the US capital market.
Li Mu has been somewhat cold-handed towards capital since its inception. Unlike most founders of start-up companies, the hunger for capital even exceeds the desire for the opposite sex, beyond nature and hormones.
In the eyes of Li Mu, cooperation with capital is like a marriage centered on interests. If you are not strong enough or not strong enough, and you lack that kind of guts, you can only bow down to the other party in the future. Losing the initiative in marriage, it is clearly his own property, but he has lived into a life-long day;
But for Li Mu, he does n’t look at anyone ’s face, and he does n’t need to bow his head to anyone for capital, because his financing is not as passive as a married marriage. Muye Science and Technology ’s C round of financing is like a royal noble Engaging in marriage is very powerful by itself, so you have enough confidence to pick each other. No matter who the eldest lady wants to marry in, she has to put away her temper and prepare a heavy dowry. No one has to look at her because There are so many girls who want to marry in. There are others in this family.
Eric.Hanks, a member of the board of directors and senior vice president of Sequoia Capital, is the total person in charge of Muye Science and Technology financing project. At first, he accidentally discovered the office artifact YY, and then strongly recommended the company Muye Science and Technology to the CEO, and later Muye Science and Technology ’s The fire of YY in Silicon Valley and even the global elite class also proved the unique vision of Eric. Hanks, so the group gave this important task to him.
Eric. Hanks has been looking forward to Li Mu going to the United States to meet him. He was still waiting for Muye Science and Technology to feed back the news of Li Mu going to the United States in advance. didn't expect Li Mu appeared silently on Silicon Valley.
Just when Eric. Hanks had not considered whether to take the initiative, the group CEO also received the news that Li Mu arrived in Silicon Valley and immediately summoned Eric. Hanks to his office.
Eric. Hanks just entered the office, the CEO asked him: "Eric, did Li Mu have an appointment with you before coming to Silicon Valley?"
Eric. Hanks shook his head and said: "I know nothing about the Li Mu coming to the United States. Muye Science and Technology has not informed me of any relevant news in advance."
As soon as the CEO heard this, his brow furrowed and said, "It seems that Li Mu will stay in the United States for a long time this time."
Eric.Hanks heard the meaning of the other party's words, but he smiled helplessly: "It should be like this. Li Mu wants to get a best offer. It is estimated that it will frequently contact with major investment banks in the near future."
The CEO said: "Li Mu doesn't understand although, but the style of doing things is still heard. In this case, we don't hide from Li Mu. You should take the initiative to contact Li Mu and be sincere. , Meet him as soon as possible, it doesn't matter if you want more money, but the key is to sit down and let him speak. "
Eric. Hanks nodded and said: "I understand, then I will go to the assistant and let her contact the Muye Science and Technology immediately."
"Okay." The CEO said: "We have talked about the situation of Muye Science and Technology many times. In view of his rapid development speed, and the market value of PayPal is growing too fast, we have the most valuation of Muye Science and Technology. You can recognize 6.5 billion USD, you can grasp the rhythm yourself, it is best to talk down within this range, but if you ca n’t talk down, we will open the board of directors to consult. "
"Understood!"
......
Li Mu sat at the Muye Science and Technology Silicon Valley branch for noon and half an afternoon. During this time, the domestic and Lin Qingya received 23 capital appointment requests from Li Mu's, and Li Mu were sent in a relatively busy and meeting way Sequoia is more interesting. After the company-level meeting request was rejected by Lin Qingya, Eric. Hanks found Ding Zhenglin with Li Mu in private and expressed the hope that he can help him. Please invite Li Mu for dinner.
However, Li Mu just refused a meal with employees of Muye Science and Technology branch office today, and simply refused. He came from First Day to Muye Science and Technology branch office today. As a competent boss, he would naturally take advantage of this opportunity to engage in a full Company dinner, it ’s like building a group for a US branch
Eric.Hanks was rejected by Li Mu without giving up. He still hopes to make an appointment with Li Mu for a clear meeting time. Li Mu did n’t give up this time, but he still did n’t give up acting cool. He asked Ding Zhenglin to reply to Eric.Hanks. Twenty minutes from 10:30 to 10:50 in the morning are not scheduled. If he wishes, he can come to Muye Science and Technology's office in Silicon Valley to meet him.
Eric. Hanks was startled when he heard the news, twenty minutes? Li Mu what the **** is this doing? This is a very large-scale financing of more than one billion USD. Does Li Mu want to settle the matter of more than one billion USD in 20 minutes?
Taking a step back and saying that it is about a billion-dollar USD such a big thing, let alone set it in 20 minutes, even if it takes 20 minutes to discuss, it really seems too disregarded? What problems can be solved in twenty minutes?
However, Eric. Hanksalthough was quite dissatisfied, but he still agreed immediately during the twenty-minute meeting and confirmed with Ding Zhenglin several times, because in any case, he had to see Li Mu himself.
So after Eric. Hanks locked in this period of time, he began to think about two things:
First, go to Muye Science and Technology tomorrow to see Li Mu, what kind of souvenirs should I bring to Li Mu, he knows that China people pay attention to courtesy and reciprocity. The effect of four to two thousand pounds;
Second, twenty minutes is too short, one minute introduces oneself, one minute greets, one minute on behalf of the United States and Silicon Valley to say a few welcome words, one minute to give gifts, one minute to bring the topic to the topic Even if the efficiency is already very high, there are still five minutes of time that will be wasted. Taken together, the time to really say things is only fifteen minutes. How to talk as much as possible in fifteen minutes and let the Li Mu answer I was impressed by Sequoia and became the biggest problem for Eric. Hanks right now.
Like Eric. Hanks, there are at least more than a dozen Venture Capital investors in the entire Silicon Valley and Li Mu set up related matters to meet the next day.
When Eric. Hanks prepared a handy gift for Li Mu, he heard from some friends in the industry that Li Mu had about a dozen Venture Capital meetings tomorrow, and each one was a standard 20-minute time, it seemed It seems to be very hasty, but even so, it takes at least a few hours for more than ten quick chats to take a quick look. If you arrange a moderate rest time in the middle, just arrange all the working hours of the day.
In this way, there are a few points that can be foreseen for tomorrow ’s meeting. First of all, in the twenty-minute meeting time, it must be difficult to have a flexible space. You have to make good use of these twenty minutes; secondly, Li Mu came to the United States this time, There are too many capitals for intentional interviews, no matter whether the first contact tomorrow is straight to the topic of financing, the final Li Mu's financing plan in the United States still requires one after another.
Eric.Hanks has been investing for many years, and he is very experienced. He knows that super-high-quality investment projects like Muye Science and Technology have been rarely seen since the internet bubble, and know that all peers are committed to Muye Science and Technology. Enterprises have to negotiate with multiple Venture Capitals at the same time. The person in charge of the enterprise is prone to aesthetic fatigue. If there is too much talk, Li Mu may only be able to measure and compare the price by the time. In this way, if you want to highlight the surroundings, you can only rely on Throwing more money is very stressful for myself.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Mu went from the hotel to the office of Muye Science and Technology at Silicon Valley. At 9:00 a.m. local time, he began to meet his first guests.
For today ’s intensive interview arrangement, the biggest goal of Li Mu is to bring rhythm. Although the entire industry knows that he has a financing plan, he did not show his intentions to any Venture Capital in advance. This means that the more this is, the more the capital can feel the tension and pressure.
Eric.Hanks has arrived at the branch of Muye Science and Technology in Silicon Valley less than ten o’clock. Because he arrived early, he did not rush to enter the door, but sat in his car and kept thinking about the possibilities after seeing Li Mu. What happened.
He has never been in touch with Li Mu, but he knows that Li Mu does not follow the rules. This can be seen from his silent visit to the United States this time. He guessed that Li Mu may play Tai Chi with himself today, or he may go straight to the topic. He was caught by surprise, and he had already practiced many times in his mind about how to deal with any situation, just waiting to meet with Li Mu and actually make a move with Li Mu.
