Chapter 1055 (2/2)
Not long ago, when Li Mu started to talk for us $17 billion, the media had been surprised by Li Mu's overconfidence. At that time, many media writers criticized him and thought that his offer could not be recognized by any venture capital firm. However, after such a short period of time, because of the continuous success of Li Mu's multiple strategies, the venture capital took the initiative to give the technology to Muye The valuation of Li Mu has exceeded 20 billion US dollars. Now, Li Mu has taken the initiative completely, and 20 billion is out of his sight. This time, no media dare to sneer at Li Mu as before.
A reporter from the New York Times asked, ”Mr. Li, it took you less than two years to build an Internet empire valued at more than 20 billion US dollars, which is a fantastic success all over the world. What do you think has contributed to your success and the success of Makino technology?”
Li Mu said, ”there is an old saying in China that” the weather is favorable to the land and the people ”, which roughly means that in order to win a war, we need to have excellent climate conditions, favorable geographical environment and stable military heart. Climate conditions can be understood as opportunities, geographical environment can be understood as environment, military heart can be understood as the inner direction of team members, and Muye technology just happens to be That's all three. ”
The questions and answers of the first few questions are relatively harmonious as a whole, and Li Mu's answers also satisfy the questioners. Next, Li Mu actively hopes to select several media in the Internet industry to ask questions.
The first one was Yahoo, but what Li Mu didn't expect was that the issue of Yahoo reporters was full of gunpowder.
”Mr. Li, as everyone knows, although the Internet industry has developed very fast, but it is very serious and the rate of updating is also very fast. As an instant messaging software, YY is very popular in the US market. So how long do you think YY will be popular with customers? Or, what time do you think the YY bubble will burst?
Li Mu didn't expect that the first peer's question would be so unfriendly.
However, it also conforms to Guo Degang's classic saying that only peers are enemies.
What's more, Yahoo's market value has climbed to the scale of 100 billion dollars in 2000. At present, it is the No. 1 enterprise in the Internet industry. Some people of Yahoo can understand its arrogance.
So, Li Mu looked at the white Yahoo reporter with a provocative face, smiled and said: ”although you are a reporter of Yahoo, I'm not sure how much you know about the Internet industry. So, in my eyes, YY is a just needed product and has a high degree of irreplaceable. In contrast, as a portal website and free email service, ya The tiger itself is not just demand product, and it can be replaced by too high. I am confident that YY will continue to develop in the next ten years, but if YAHOO does not transform as soon as possible, I am afraid that in the next few years, it will start to decline. If you want to see a good play of bubble break, or wait to see YAHOO is more realistic.
Among the Internet enterprises in the United States, the most interesting one is Yahoo. In Li Mu's eyes, Yahoo made mistakes all the time except for finding the right development direction at the beginning of the Internet.
Missed the opportunity to buy Google at a low price, but when I wanted to buy it, I found that I couldn't afford it;
I could have bought Facebook for one billion dollars, but I had no business ethics at the critical moment, and I wanted to further reduce the price to 850 million dollars, but Mark Zuckerberg refused. When I made an offer of more than 1 billion dollars, Facebook was no longer a bird at all ;
by 2008, Yahoo has been defeated for many years in a row. In order to fight against Google, Microsoft offered it a $50 billion offer, which was rejected by the proud Yahoo;
by 2016, Yahoo finally found the seller and was accepted by Verizon, an American communication giant, at a price of $4.8 billion
In Li Mu's eyes, Yahoo has been trying not to be enterprising since 2000, and it has not forgotten to pretend to force while eating the original and going downhill. The most ridiculous thing is that Yahoo has not made any remarkable achievements in the booming Internet and mobile Internet over the years, which is really funny.
Now, the funny Yahoo reporter even looks down on Makino technology, which makes Li Mu unhappy, so he doesn't care about the multimedia, let alone whether Yahoo is the first in the industry, and directly open his grudge in public.
reporter did not expect Li Mu to be so straightforward, and subconsciously asked: ”YAHOO's market value is at least six or seven times that of Makino technology. What makes you think YAHOO's bubble will burst, not Makino technology?”
Li Mu said with a smile, ”it's impossible for Yahoo today to affect Makino technology. On the contrary, Makino technology can affect Yahoo in many ways.”
The reporter was also young and vigorous, choked by Li Mu. The pride and arrogance of the company as a Yahoo employee were inspired. He said excitedly, ”how does Muye technology affect Yahoo?”? Give me an example. ”Li Mu smiled and said: ”I didn't plan to promote YY mailbox in the United States, and I didn't want to launch YY English Portal immediately. But since you have objections to Muye technology, I might as well show you whether YY can affect Yahu or Yahoo can affect YY.”
