At 8:50 on Saturday morning, Li Mu came to Baidu's office address in Yanjing, which is in rapid development and expansion of Baidu. Even on the weekend morning, there are still hundreds of employees working overtime. The technology and product department of internet company, Overtime is almost normal, and Li Mu has long been used to it.
The girl at the front desk heard that he was coming to Jack Week, so hastily took him to a meeting room. Jack said hello to her before. Today, there is an important guest who wants to talk about cooperation. Time notification.
Li Mu sat in the meeting room for just two minutes. A man in his thirties, with a gentle look, wearing a suit, leather shoes, and rimless glasses, pushed in the door. When he saw Li Mu, he was completely stunned , It took a while to react, and he asked tentatively: "Are you Mr. Li Mu?"
Li Mu nodded: "It's me."
Jack Zhou was stunned.
Communicate with Li Mu on email several times, combined with the two projects operated by Li Mu, he speculates on Li Mu with his own instincts. He always feels that this man must be between 30 and 35 years old Between, there must be experience of studying and working overseas, and may even have worked in the world-renowned internet company, but dreaming didn't expect, the other party seems to be young enough to be only about 20 years old?
although was surprised, but Jack Zhou calmed down quickly. He shook hands with Li Mu enthusiastically and politely said a few times, saying: "Mr. Li wait a moment, our VP will come over immediately."
VP is the abbreviation of vice president. Industry insiders like to use English abbreviations to embody the taller. Li Mu is already familiar with this, so he nodded without saying much.
Jack Zhou, as the person in charge in terms of investment, usually negotiates with the investee and engages in a game at the capital level. However, he communicated with Li Mu several times and failed to find any breakthrough points in Li Mu. He has always had a bit of frustration in his heart. Seeing today, I found that the other party was so young, this frustration was even more in my heart.
A few minutes later, three middle-aged men and a woman aged two 17-18 came to the meeting room. Jack gave a presentation on hastily this week, and the focus was on VPTan Yaocheng.
Li Mu had heard about the name of this person. After Baidu did it in 2006, he retired after listing on Baidu. Then he started as an angel investor. He has invested in many projects and was quite successful. Big winner in life.
Tan Yaocheng and didn't expect Li Mu are so young. In fact, he also set a Facebook image for Li Mu. didn't expect has such a big deviation. Similar to Jack Week, he was shocked for a long time before accepting this reality.
Jack Zhou also introduced other people to Li Mu, such as the technical Director and the operation Director. Li Mu did n’t pay much attention to remember their names, because he knew that there was only one person he wanted to overcome now, that is Tan Yaocheng.
As for Baidu's technology Director and operation of Director, is it related to yourself? Only if they have reached a financing agreement with Baidu, these talents will work.
Tan Yaocheng is also an efficiency-conscious person, so after a simple politeness, he started straight to the point: "Today, Mr. Li is invited, mainly out of Baidu ’s interest in the Easy Music network and the two website Tieba (Post It), before Jack Zhou should have talked to you too. We have intentions to package acquisitions for these two businesses, and this intention is very sincere. I do n’t know Mr. Li ... "
Li Mu smiled slightly, some rudely interrupted his words: "Director Tan, regarding the package acquisition, I have clearly stated in the email with Mr. Zhou a long time ago, I do not accept any company ’s Packing acquisition intention. "
Tan Yaocheng didn't expect Li Mu almost did n’t even consider it, and even refused to ask for the package purchase without even asking about the current intention price of Baidu. Why did such a young man do things so decisively, even to a somewhat arbitrary level? Is he too confident in himself, or too confident in the future of Easy Music and Tieba (Post It)?
although Li Mu refused so altogether, Tan Yaocheng still did not give up, he smiled and said: "Mr. Li, don't you want to hear our latest quotation? Some time ago we communicated with investors who are far away in Silicon Valley, now Quotation is much higher than the quotation Jack Jack gave you before. "
Baidu is very optimistic about the two businesses of Easy Music and Tieba (Post It), especially Tieba (Post It). This is a community artifact. With it, there is a giant magnet that gathers users. Combined with the advantages of Baidu, it will definitely create a community The leader in the field, they also made the current status, analysis and evaluation of these two businesses in English, and sent them to investors of Silicon Valley. Finally, the investors gave a clear reply: If Baidu can package and take the two Business, investors will increase the capital of Baidu by 10 million USD.
This shows that investors are also very optimistic about the prospects for the integration of these two businesses and Baidu.
Before Tan Yaocheng came in, there was already a new offer for Li Mu's, 25 million RMB. After tax, even at this price, he felt that his heartbeat was accelerating. A start-up project for several months, such a high value, is simply It is MU Online / miracle in the field of internet.
As a result, dreaming is also didn't expect, Li Mu at this time said indifferently: "Trust me Director Tan, with the current size of Baidu, the price of the package purchase you can not afford."
Several people in the meeting room were embarrassed.
Tan Yaocheng was shocked again. What on earth did this kid come from? Without asking the quotation, I just said that Baidu can't afford it, is it too arrogant?
However, the information previously disclosed by Tan Yaocheng combined with Li Mu probably guessed that Li Mu's was really intended, only financing, not selling.
Tan Yaocheng asked: "Mr. Li is very optimistic about these two businesses? What do you think of the future development prospects of these two businesses?"
"Say that." Li Mu has a slight body of to lean forward and said to several people with full confidence: "If I compare the future prospects to a grenade, then the Easy Music network is just a detonator pull ring on grenade."
Speaking of this, Li Mu fingers are shaped like a circle, saying: "Please note that it is just the pull ring on the finger of detonator that is like a key ring. It was found from the field of online music audition download(ing). An entry point, as for Tieba (Post It), is the detonator of grenade, and the fundamental purpose of the existence of Easy Music and Tieba (Post It) is to detonate the true grenade, so you ask me how big the future development prospects can be, the power of detonator and grenade can be done A comparison. "
Tan Yaocheng frowned, detonator is just a fuse, how powerful is it? Very little, how can it compare with grenade? To understand it in another way, Li Mu's means that the current Easy Music network and Tieba (Post It) are nothing at all. The two together are just a detonator of his grenade. This kid is so arrogant at a young age, which is really good. ?
Tan Yaocheng decided to sound the alarm to the young man in front of him, and said in a tone: "Tieba (Post It)'s model idea although is very good, but after all, you lack sufficient flow and financial support. Once this model has a large number of The enterprises or individuals with flow and funds imitate it. I believe that they will soon be able to surpass your Tieba (Post It) and put it under control. "
The so-called enterprise with a lot of flow and funds in his mouth is actually saying Baidu himself, and the implication is nothing but warning Li Mu. If you refuse Baidu, Baidu can also surpass him in minutes.
Li Mu said: "If there are companies or individuals who want to imitate my Tieba (Post It), it is really not difficult, but even if they follow me after imitating Tieba (Post It), they are just copy-cat without a goal."
copy-cat comes out three words, everyone can feel ridicule from Li Mu's, in fact, when they saw Easy Music network and Tieba (Post It), their first thought was to follow the trend to launch similar products ...
At this time, Li Mu disregarded the embarrassment of the people present and continued: "If anyone of you has been paying attention to Tieba (Post It), then he must know how fast Tieba (Post It)'s product development is, within a month, We not only launched the singer Tieba (Post It), but also launched the Tieba (Post It) check-in function and membership upgrade system. Then, we also launched the star Tieba (Post It), which includes all celebrities such as movie and TV singers, variety shows Host and other celebrities across the Taiwan Straits. A more powerful function, that is, the Tieba (Post It) is built by the user! I would like to ask, what kind of companies can achieve such a fast and high-quality product update speed? Put it in other companies, it will take at least half a year or more. Do it? "
What Li Mu said is true. The rhythm of this product development is simply not human. The reason why Tieba (Post It) can do it is because Li Mu understands the success or failure of various internet products in later generations. He let every function developed by Kong Lingyu have It was in previous life that others spent a long time on research, development, trial and error, and finally accumulated the successful experience.
Tan Yaocheng is also in deep contemplation, Li Mu's speaks although harshly, but it is the fact that the product is updated so fast, and the function of each update is almost amazing, such a person is really difficult Imitation, just imitating someone else's 1.0 version, someone else's 3.0 is out, if you don't have such a strong product development team, you can never catch up.
Li Mu saw Tan Yaocheng not talking for a while, then cleared his throat, and said: "Just now Director Tan talked about traffic and funds, what you may not know, now there are more than 4 million registered users of Tieba (Post It), daily active users More than 200,000. With such a rapid growth rate, do you still worry about the flow rate? Even if someone else has a more powerful flow rate, it is basically useless without the high conversion rate and viscosity of Tieba (Post It). "
"In addition to flow, there is also funds. I admit that funds are the bottleneck for my next development, but I think financing is just to make up for this problem. I believe that even if I do n’t take the Baidu money, I still do n’t have to worry about financing. "
Tan Yaocheng was placed on the table with both hands crossed. After glancing at Li Mu, he nodded slightly and asked: "If financing, what are your conditions?" (To be continued.)
