Chapter 1029 (2/2)
Silicon Valley is so big that it can accommodate many high-tech enterprises of the world's top 500, as well as numerous small and medium-sized enterprises and start-ups. But Silicon Valley is also so small that there is basically no secret in Silicon Valley. Everyone in Silicon Valley is like a computer hardware vendor in Zhongguancun who knows the whole shopping Mall as well as everything in Silicon Valley Extremely sensitive.Li Mugang has not been to Muye technology Silicon Valley branch for more than half an hour, and the whole Silicon Valley knows the news.
Here comes Li Mu!
At the time when YY was in the ascendant and ”Paradise town” was infecting American universities like a plague, Li Mu came.
When Li Mu came to Silicon Valley at this time, for people in the Internet industry in the United States, there may be several meanings behind it, which may be the signal that Muye Technology launched a general attack on the U.S. market, the prelude to the c-round financing of Muye technology, or even both.
For a while, the whole silicon valley became nervous because of the news of Li Mu's arrival.
Peer companies began to worry that Li Mu would bring the unimaginable expansion speed of Muye technology to the United States. After all, no one would like the peers around to become strong, let alone suddenly have a strong peer, especially Muye technology, an instant messaging and online social enterprise.
If there is more than one enterprise like Cisco and Intel, it is better. In addition to the worries of Cisco and Intel, other Internet enterprises are more looking forward to such a competitive situation. The fight of hardware enterprises can not only reduce hardware prices, but also promote hardware development. If Intel has more than one competitor, the price of computer CPU will decline at a faster rate It will continue to improve, and the speed of upgrading will also increase. In that case, the overall price of hardware will fall and the whole industry will enjoy dividends.
However, Muye technology is different. Enterprises such as Muye technology aim at online social communication and instant communication, which is a strong demand field of users. The encroachment on users, traffic and online time is like a whale swallow. Moreover, Muye technology has a trend of horizontal development around this strong demand. If it is expanded, almost all Internet enterprises will It will be affected. Pastoral technology is like a frantically expanding alien invasive species, constantly encroaching on the living space and nutrients of other Internet companies.
Sequoia Capital, which is only three blocks away from Muye technology Silicon Valley Branch, has received the news that Li Mu has arrived in Silicon Valley, which makes the whole Sequoia Capital tense.
The c-round financing of Muye technology has been delayed for a long time. Although Muye technology has always been ambiguous about the attitude of Sequoia Capital, it is like a beauty who is good at playing with men. It is always anxious to leave.
Previously, I talked with Sequoia Huaxia branch for several times, but Muye technology is different from all financing companies, because Muye technology has not shown the urgent demand for money from the beginning to the end.
Muye technology wants to finance round C itself, but they seem to have no shortage of money, so they are not interested in the progress and efficiency of round C financing at all.
Behind this ”not caring” attitude, it is Makino technology that constantly breaks out all kinds of new actions. Not only is its product constantly undergoing unimaginable improvement, but also touches the online payment business in the United States. It successfully ”borrows” eBay's money to invest in PayPal, and its valuation is almost on the rocket, the speed of which makes all capital nervous.
Now, everyone knows that Makino technology is a super fast car to make money. Everyone knows that Makino technology needs a lot of financial support to start the ”global model”. It also knows that Makino technology can easily be listed on Nasdaq, and lacks a round of financing and the operation of local capital in the United States. Therefore, based on these understandings, the capital of the United States is very concerned It is clear that Li Mu will definitely finalize the financing in the near future, and the financing will find American capital, because Li Mu's ”global model” starts in the United States and needs a strong local ally of the United States.
According to Sequoia, at present, the investment bank capital of more than one billion US dollars that the United States can call out is basically interested in Muye technology. Everyone knows that as long as we can reach capital cooperation with Muye technology before it goes public, once Muye technology goes public, this investment can be doubled immediately. If it is held for a long time Muye technology's shares, then the amount of money that can be leveraged by these billions of dollars is amazing.
Sequoia thought that he was the most inclined partner of Makino technology, but unexpectedly, when he came to America, Li Mu didn't say hello to them. If Li Mu really wants to meet Sequoia, he should at least inform Sequoia of his itinerary in advance, and then make an appointment with the senior management of Sequoia about a meeting time.
But now it seems that Li Mu has no inclination at all. His only inclination is the one with higher price.
The cruel reality makes the senior management of Sequoia feel huge pressure. If Li Mu doesn't have any inclination towards Sequoia, then if Sequoia wants to invest in Muye technology, it's probably going to fight with Softbank, Goldman Sachs and other businesses in the next period!
