Chapter 1308 (1/2)
Because of a series of operations of the immortal veterans, the reputation of Li Mu and Muye technology in the world has gradually reached an unprecedented peak. Li Mu is not ashamed of the title of ”world youth leader”, not only telling the world a story of great inspiration, but also planting a huge seed of good cause for the society.
However, the media recently found that compared with Li Mu and Muye science and technology's charity activities frequently making headlines everywhere, Li Mu's enterprises rarely made major breakthroughs in business. Recently, the news about Muye science and technology mostly revolved around Muye science and technology's veterans immortal Charity Foundation in the United States, but for Muye science and technology's business itself, it did not What's new out there.
In Li Mu's opinion, the overall business of Muye technology is now in a stage of steady development. Although Taobao does not have any special action, the trading volume of the platform is also at a new high. Its two core pillar enterprises have entered a very stable growth period, which is a very important stage, a firm business foundation and a strong enterprise from the bottom Good times.
However, for the people who are used to seeing the rocket like rise of Li Mu, such steady and stair like growth really seems a little boring and uninteresting, so occasionally some media will come out and shake their wits, thinking that Li Mu and his industry have entered a bottleneck period.
Li Mu has little energy to care about these unprovoked speculation news. Recently, he has focused on two things. The first one is that Baidu has begun to reach a preliminary consensus on the merger and acquisition of easy to listen. At present, it is in the internal evaluation stage. Li Mu and Shizi proposed a 20% share replacement. Baidu obviously has no way to accept it, so it can only enter the evaluation stage first.
According to the normal historical steps, Baidu's valuation in the first half of 2003 is at least 500 million US dollars. A music website wants to occupy 15-20% of its shares, which is really wishful thinking. But now Baidu, whose actual valuation can reach 200 million US dollars, needs to burn high incense. It fails to seize the online music flow and misses the Baidu Post Bar. Now Baidu itself is lame Leg of the youth, and easy to listen to the network is the largest, occupy the whole Chinese online music and download market share of more than 90%, this time take the opportunity to pit Baidu, for 15-20% of the market value is difficult, but Li Mu thinks it is very possible.
In addition to Baidu's merger and acquisition of easy to listen, the second thing Li Mu paid close attention to is SARS, which has gradually had an impact nationwide.
Since March, there has been a lot of news about SARS.
The news came from all over the country, especially in the southeast. At the beginning of the month, Li Mu learned from Chen ze that Yanjing had also confirmed the first imported case, that is to say, SARS has now arrived in Yanjing.
Fortunately, most of the rumors have not formed a joint force. Some say there is an outbreak of avian influenza, some say there is an outbreak of meningitis, and some people hear that it is a kind of pneumonia with strong drug resistance. Most of these rumors are only spread locally, and the influence is not very large.
Under the appointment of Li Mu, senior brother Liu actively improved the logistics system and self-protection of logistics personnel, while also paying attention to the social impact of various places.
From February to now, there has been a small-scale rush to buy related materials in some cities. The most serious rush to buy is disinfectant, isatis root and white vinegar. Some businessmen start their prices on the ground, which does have a certain impact on local prices. When senior brother Liu reports to Li Mu several times, he does not forget to ask Li Mu. Taobao.com Whether to intervene in areas where commodity prices are driven up, but every time Li Mu refuses.
There are more than 300 prefecture level cities, districts, cities and regions across the country that have triggered a rush to buy, which is not enough for Taobao to respond immediately. If Taobao starts to intervene in the price of materials in a few cities, this unusual move will surely cause a large-scale attention. At that time, the whole country had not entered into a psychological panic, but was tossed by Taobao, and immediately panicked But it's good to do bad things.
Recently, the situation of material bid up in Guangdong Province has become more and more serious. It has become so serious that dealers have increased their prices to ask for goods from manufacturers and to transfer goods to other regions. Therefore, rumors have been spreading all over the surrounding provinces.
Some people said that they saw businessmen in Guangdong Province drive a lot of cash to their own provinces and cities to search for disinfectant, Banlangen and other materials, and almost every shop was empty; some people said that this was because of the outbreak of an infectious disease with a high mortality rate in Guangdong Province, and the disinfectant can kill the infectious disease, and Banlangen can also prevent the human body from feeling the disease Some people say that they should find a way to buy some disinfectant and isatis root at home, or they will let people in Guangdong Province buy them. If the infectious diseases spread, they will be in danger
As a result, this kind of looting behavior of businessmen in Guangdong Province has directly strained the nerves of the citizens in the surrounding provinces and cities. Rumors are spreading faster and faster. Everyone rushes into pharmacies and supermarkets to rush to buy those materials that are said to be able to resist infectious diseases.
This time, SARS has had the biggest negative impact since its emergence.
When elder martial brother Liu reported his confirmed situation to Li Mu, he still reminded him: ”now at least 30 million urban people are affected, and the rush to buy has broken out in Guangdong Province and several neighboring provinces, and the rush to buy is spreading very fast. I heard that in some places, a bottle of two yuan white vinegar is sold for 350 yuan, a bottle of three yuan white vinegar is sold for 350 yuan If we don't intervene again, this rush will soon spread all over the country... ”Li Mu listens to the brow tight wrinkly.
