Chapter 1080 (1/2)
Li Mu's two days in Los Angeles, several venture capitalists led by Sequoia have been out of control.
He had been amazed by the rising data of Makino technology. As a result, Li Mu turned around and ran to Hollywood. He attended the charity dinner of a famous director, which immediately became the focus of the whole United States.
When Li Mu becomes the focus of the society, the number of users of YY and Paradise town will continue to soar, which will inevitably promote the flow of the whole platform.
For the current Muye technology, user volume and flow are the key factors affecting the valuation.
If we let Muye technology wash all the Internet users around the world and make them all YY users, Muye technology may even become the Internet enterprise with the highest valuation in the world.
The most important reason why the industry gives such a high estimate to Muye technology and YY is that YY's user viscosity is too high, and the proportion of users' payment is too high.
In this era, such products are almost invincible. Even if other products can achieve the user scale of YY, they will never be able to do the payment flow of YY. MSN and ICQ have never found a way in value-added services. Such products in the most prosperous stage of user model, the overall flow is less than 1% of the current flow of YY. Li Mu makes money There are simply too many ways to win, and the win lies in the fact that YY users are willing to pay for his complicated paid value-added services.
The spread speed of YY in the world is amazing. Many Internet companies and analysis critics believe that YY is most likely to become the first super software covering the world's Internet users. As a result, it is likely to be the first Internet company in the world. For such a company, venture capital has completely lost its previous arrogance What I want to do is to get the investment in Makino technology as soon as possible.
Round C is definitely the last round of financing for Muye technology. Next, Li Mu will definitely send it to NASDAQ, so now is the last chance for VC to get on the bus.
Sequoia executives have been uncertain about the final offer, and the $22 billion valuation has become a thing of the past. When Li Mu conquered the American audience at Harvard, the valuation of Muye technology is equivalent to pulling several limit boards in a row, which is extremely good for interest consumption. Some enterprises will never meet it again in their lives.
Just before Sequoia executives prepared to offer 30 billion US dollars, it happened to be the time when Li Mugang left Hollywood and returned to Silicon Valley. Anne Hathaway, who was in Hollywood, received a joint interview with Hollywood Reporter, an authoritative Hollywood magazine, and a Hollywood TV station.
In this interview, most of the questions raised by the media about Anne Hathaway are almost related to Li Mu.
No way, the American people are particularly concerned about the feelings of this little American Princess. Everyone is looking forward to the moment when she and Li Mu determine their relationship. Although Li Mu's Pastoral technology represents a victory in the Internet industry in China in the United States, for the American people, if Li Mu can fall in love with an American girl, it is also a victory for the American people to some extent Victory.
Media reporters asked Anne Hathaway a lot of questions about Li Mu, such as how she knew Li Mu, her impression of Li Mu, their relationship and their future development.
Anne Hathaway dare not talk nonsense to the media, so she is very cautious in answering every question. For example, she just knew Li Mu and was not familiar with him. As for her impression of Li Mu, she used the word ”worship” more, describing Li Mu as her biggest idol.
Seeing Anne Hathaway clarify her relationship with Li Mu, the reporter of Hollywood Reporter couldn't help asking her, ”don't you have any plans to further develop with Li Mu?”
Anne Hathaway didn't know how to answer this sharp question for a while. She thought about it. At last, she could only say: ”I have no plan for this. Besides, we only met ordinary friends twice. As for what will happen in the future, I prefer to let it go.”
The reporter asked her, ”I have only met twice. Do you exchange contact information?”
”Of course.” Anne Hathaway said, ”we added each other's YY friends.”
Anne Hathaway made a media broadcast for YY, which made YY's enthusiasm rise a lot again.
Part of Anne Hathaway's interview, broadcast on TV, is like the last straw to crush a camel. Sequoia's board of directors can no longer sit.
The exposure of YY in the whole western society is continuous and ubiquitous. In this case, it is impossible to wait for the topic of YY in the western world to cool down. In this case, the more you wait, the higher the valuation of Makino technology.
The day after Li Mu returned to Silicon Valley, Ding Zhenglin told him that Sequoia had adjusted its offer again. This time, Sequoia Capital valued Muye technology at $30 billion.
