Chapter 1030 (1/2)
Li Mu really wants to take money from Sequoia, not only because of its strength, but also because of its unique internet genes.
There are many more powerful capital than Sequoia, but there are few enterprises like Sequoia that have such a strong influence on the Internet.
Later generations, the Chinese Internet has the shadow of Sequoia in half of the world. It belongs to that kind of business: almost all the Internet companies that can invest in it are invested once, and they feel that they are not addicted to it, and then the owners who invest again, cooperate with the capital who understands the Internet in this way, which is not only more efficient, but also more thoughtful.
But capital itself is ruthless. Even if Li Mu is more inclined to Sequoia, he has to rely on money to talk. Now, the development of science and technology in Muye is too fast. He has enough initiative in his hand, so he doesn't need to show favor to Sequoia alone.
The only advantage of Sequoia in Li Mu's mind is: when no one bids higher than Sequoia, he will definitely choose it. And even if it is, Li Mu doesn't want Sequoia to know about it, so he didn't publicize the news of his coming to the United States, and he didn't have any clear communication with Sequoia in advance, which is to surprise Sequoia and the U.S. capital market 。
At the beginning of Li Mu's business, he had a cold and high attitude towards capital. Unlike the founders of most start-ups, his thirst for capital even exceeded his desire for the opposite sex, nature and hormones.
In Li Mu's eyes, the cooperation with capital is like a marriage with interests as the core. If you are not strong enough or not obvious enough, and lack that backbone, you can only bow to each other and lose the initiative in the future marriage. Obviously, it's your own industry, but it's become a burden to live;
but for Li Mu, his face is all the same Don't look, and don't bow to anyone for the sake of capital, because his financing is not as passive as the cumbersome marriage. The c-round financing of Muye technology is just like the marriage of princes and nobles, so she is very strong, so she has enough courage to pick each other up. No matter who's eldest daughter wants to marry in, she must first put away her temper and prepare her heavy dowry. No matter who's face, she doesn't have to Look, there are many girls who want to marry in. There are other families if they can't.
Board member and senior vice president of Sequoia Capital Eric.Hanks He is the general director of the financing project of Muye technology. At the beginning, he accidentally found YY, an office artifact, and then recommended Muye technology to the CEO. Later, YY of Muye technology caught fire in Silicon Valley and even in the global elite, which also proved that Eric.Hanks The vision is unique, so the group He was entrusted with a major task.
Eric.Hanks He has been looking forward to Li Mu's meeting with himself in the United States. He was still waiting for the feedback of Muye technology in advance. Unexpectedly, Li Mu appeared in Silicon Valley quietly.
Right here Eric.Hanks Before considering whether to take the initiative, the CEO of the group also received the news that Li Mu had arrived in Silicon Valley, and immediately Eric.Hanks Summoned to his office.
Eric.Hanks Just entering the office, the CEO asked him, ”Eric, did Li Mu make an appointment with you before he came to Silicon Valley?”
Eric.Hanks Shaking his head, he said: ”I have no idea about the news of Li Mu's coming to the United States, and I haven't been informed of any relevant information in advance by Makino technology.”
When the CEO heard this, he frowned immediately and said, ”it seems that Li Mu will stay in the United States for a long time this time.”
Eric.Hanks Hearing the meaning of the other side's words, he said with a smile: ”it should be so. Li Mu wants to get the best offer. He is expected to contact with major investment banks frequently in the near future.”
The CEO said: ”although I don't know Li Mu, I still hear about his style of work. In this case, we don't want to hide it with Li Mu. You take the initiative to contact Li Mu with a more sincere attitude. Meet him first as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if you want more money, but the key is to sit down and let him speak first.”
Eric.Hanks ”I see,” nodded the head, ”I'll go to the assistant and ask her to contact the science and technology of Makino immediately.”
”Good.” The CEO said: ”we have talked about the situation of Muye technology many times. In view of the amazing development speed of Muye technology, and the rapid growth of PayPal's market value, we can recognize the value of Muye technology at most US $16.5 billion, and you can grasp the rhythm yourself. It's the best to talk about it in this range, but if we can't talk about it, we'll open the board of directors again Council consultation. ”
”I see!”
