Chapter 1496 (1/2)

The next morning, the signing ceremony between Muye & Baidu and Google was about to begin. The global media gathered at the National Exhibition and competed to report the business acquisition worth at least 3 billion US dollars.

Just yesterday, several authoritative survey and evaluation institutions on Wall Street re calculated Google's valuation, giving a reference valuation of 9-12 billion US dollars, from which Google announced that it would acquire Muye & amp; Baidu.Inc , and has been confirmed by Makino technology, even if Makino technology has not actually imported any resources to Google, Google's valuation still staged a Jedi rebound.

Several institutions believe that Google's next valuation has a great potential to explode, but this may not depend on Google itself, but on Makino technology.

If, after today's merger and acquisition, Muye technology really gives full support to Google's development, then Google will usher in an outbreak period. If after the merger and acquisition, Muye technology is relatively perfunctory to Google, then the valuation will not be so considerable. However, whether Muye technology fully supports Google or not, at least one thing can be determined. After the merger and acquisition, Muye technology will Technology will not touch any search engine business within five years, that is to say, no matter how bad, Google will be in the golden development period without natural enemies in the next five years.

In the Internet industry, billions of dollars of bulk capital operations are rare. What's more, it's a successful case of Li Mu's White Wolf arbitrage, so it has a high degree of attention in the world.

In addition to the presence of a large number of media reporters, a large number of elites from the industry have also come to support the show, so the whole national exhibition is full of people, much more lively than the ordinary large-scale exhibitions.

Li Mu is now in the backstage lounge prepared by the main organizer of the national exhibition. Although the signing ceremony today is very big, the process is very simple. In addition to a well-known host who came to help from CCTV friendship to help with the opening ceremony and the middle string, the whole signing ceremony consists of three parts. First of all, Li Mu, Robin and Larry Page take turns to do a short one Speech; secondly, a tripartite signing ceremony was held on the spot; finally, a question was answered by the reporters on the spot.

After finally checking the process with the host, Li Mu sat alone in his lounge for a rest. With more than ten minutes to go, Li Ziwei knocked on the door and said to Li Mu, ”President Li, President Lin sent an email from the United States. You let her investigate and understand the situation. She has preliminary investigation results.”

”Oh?” Li Mu comes to the spirit, sits upright and asks: ”how to say?”

Li Ziwei took out a palm sized notepad in her hand, opened the page with the mini ball pen in it, and said: ”there are three relatively reliable news. The first one is that Microsoft does have a relatively large action in the near future, and the internal job transfer is relatively large. According to her experience, the internal staff job transfer is large, which should represent the internal large-scale reorganization According to her analysis, a new business unit or project team has been set up, but Microsoft has a high level of internal confidentiality, and they are in Seattle, so the confidentiality work is easier to carry out. ”

Li Mu nodded and said, ”if the internal transfer is relatively large, there must be internal business restructuring. It seems that they have a new development direction.”

Li Ziwei added: ”second, Microsoft has been working very hard on content operation recently. They have poached some editors from many well-known media in the United States, paid them several times of their salaries, and taken them to Seattle. However, there is no definite information about which project they are going to use.”

Li Mu zazui said: ”Microsoft has recruited so many content talents. This is to work on the content side. Now, the use of content talents is nothing more than portal sites and vertical products in content. But now, there are very few vertical products in content, and nothing more than blogs...”

At first, the vigorous development of the Internet is all around social networking, games and information. These three categories of content related products are information products. To put it bluntly, they are all kinds of portals. Apart from portals, content products are very scarce at this stage. Unlike later generations, encyclopedia products, question and answer products, interest social networking products and knowledge social networking products are many Niumao, the only mature content-based product at this stage, is actually blog, others, even online novels are still in the exploratory stage.

Thinking of this, Li Mu said to himself, ”it seems that Microsoft has dug up such a talent of multimedia content, either to build a new portal or to build a blog. There is no third possibility.”

After that, Li Mu asked Li Ziwei, ”isn't there three points? What's the third? ”

”The third point is that Microsoft does have several small and medium-sized investment acquisitions in the periphery recently, and all of them are game development teams,” Li Ziwei said in a hurry

”Game development?” Li Mu could not help frowning and said, ”is it for Xbox platform?”

Li Ziwei said: ”no, Mr. Lin said that these game development teams are all PC based windows platform game development, and there is a company that does online chess and card games.”

”Online chess and card...” Li Mu narrowed his eyes and nodded softly.
