Chapter 1460 (1/2)
Google.
When Larry Page told all the members of the board of directors about Li Mu's latest asking price, the meeting room was full of swearing.
In front of this group of American capitalists, Li Mu became a vicious capitalist who bullied the market, bullied and lured, temporarily decided to start from the ground.
Larry Page knows these people's feelings very well. It's really an unacceptable thing to ask them to dilute their 15% shares. What's more, after dilution, Li Mu will become a new shareholder of Google, a new shareholder with 15% shares and tens of billions of dollars. The actual weight of such shareholders is very large, and even can have a long-term and far-reaching impact on the whole Google in the future.
Although these people can see the benefits of Li Mu's shares in Google, they can't make an accurate measurement and judgment. The direct loss of 15% of Li Mu's shares due to low price is greater than the net profit after Li Mu's shares? Larry Page insists the latter is bigger, but some shareholders do not.
They think that Li Mu can get benefits, but the benefits should have a degree. Even if he built a highway, the toll can't account for 15% of the whole car. It's not cooperation, it's looting.
Later, 78% of the first vote was against, and the new offer was not approved by the board of directors;
Larry Page explained to the present board members: ”although the way of starting price of Makino technology is hateful, we must be aware of the potential threat of Makino technology. If Makino technology enters the search engine, our future will be greatly affected ！”
One shareholder said: ”Muye technology is about to complete the privatization of apple, and Li Mu will invest a lot of experience in enterprise integration. In this case, I don't think Li Mu has experienced the development of search engine. We are experts in the field of search engine. We are very clear about how strong a good search engine needs technical support and development When Li Mu launched his first search product, I believe we have successfully launched it. ”
This view has been approved by many people, some people echoed: ”I admit that Muye technology is very powerful, but it is not omnipotent. Even if it is omnipotent, its energy and physical strength are limited. It will take at least one or two years for Muye technology to form a positive competitiveness with Google on the search engine.”
Larry Page shook his head and said: ”if Li Mu wants to be a search engine, he will never develop a new one from scratch. Last time, he said that he can let Robin of Baidu open all Baidu's technologies and patents to him at any time. Then he and Baidu are divided into two parts. Baidu is the native of China, and Muye technology is the overseas market. In this way, Li Mu can be straight overnight Then we have a self owned search engine in Baidu search kernel, which can be embedded into all products the next day for quick lead. We need to know that Baidu's technical strength is not too different from ours. ”
”Hahaha!” One shareholder laughed and said, ”Larry, are you too easy to be cheated? Baidu will open its technology patents to Makino technology? Why is Li Mu so confident? This is the core wealth of an Internet enterprise. How could it be so easy to give it to others? As for that dichotomy, it's even more ridiculous. Is Baidu willing to be a local search engine in China all its life? As long as we cooperate with Muye technology, we will directly lock ourselves in the Chinese market. Would you agree to do so? ”
”You've ignored Li Mu's influence in the Chinese Internet industry, and he's a shareholder in Baidu,” explains Larry Page
”I'm a shareholder of Google, but I also invested in many Silicon Valley companies. Does that mean that one day I will ask Google for Google's patents and technologies?”
Larry Page retorted: ”as I just said, you have ignored Li Mu's influence in the Chinese Internet industry.”
Then the shareholder asked: ”let's put aside the influence of Li Mu and talk about the possibility. As far as I know, baidu is also an enterprise invested by Silicon Valley capital. The purpose of capital is to develop and expand. Baidu's shareholders certainly expect Baidu to go out of the gate of Chinese market and bring overseas market to seek breakthrough. Under this premise, how can they Would you like to limit your activities to China? Don't they want to go overseas? ”
”I think the character of Baidu Robin should be more stable as Li Mu said,” said Larry Page
At this time, a board member frowned and said, ”Larry, do you know Robin?”
”Strictly speaking, I don't know,” said Larry Page
The director said: ”if you don't know him, how can you determine what kind of character he is? Is it because Li Mu said that he is more stable, so you believe it? ”
Larry Page was speechless all of a sudden. He really didn't know Robin very well. He believed what Li Mu said, mostly because of his intuition and judgment. However, such words were obviously not persuasive. It was better to hold them in his stomach than to say them.
