Chapter 1428 (1/2)
In Li Mu's heart, he does not intend to be a search engine, but this does not mean that he is willing to give up the capital dividend of search engine in the future.
After becoming a shareholder of Baidu, Li Mu has locked in the domestic search engine dividend ahead of time. If he can reach a consensus with Google, he will lock in the overseas search engine dividend ahead of time if he shares in Google ahead of time.
If you take 10% of Google's shares, the 10% shares will be worth at least tens of billions of dollars when the market value of Google reaches hundreds of billions of dollars in the future, and you have the resources to continuously feed Google's business, which will become the key factor to keep the shareholding ratio or expand the shareholding ratio.
In addition to locking in the future dividend in advance, Google can also attract a strategic partner for Makino technology. In the future, Makino technology will not only guide Google, but also provide Makino technology with all kinds of resources within its capabilities, just like Makino technology has locked in a large number of keywords from Baidu.
Although Larry Page was a little depressed by Li Mu's strong character, he felt that, fundamentally speaking, Li Mu didn't really want to be the enemy of Google. He just wanted to get more benefits from Google. As long as Google can meet his requirements, he won't become a huge threat to Google's future.
So Larry Page made it clear that he would go back and discuss with the board of directors to see if these old shareholders would like to dilute some more shares in order to attract Li Mu to Google.
On the topic of becoming a shareholder in Google, Li Mu finally added: ”if the proportion you diluted meets my expectation, then I will promise your requirements. YY and YY will continuously open Google search access to users in the next five years, and even adding Google search access to other products of Muye technology in the future is not impossible. ”
”that's great!”
Larry Page was relieved to confirm that Li Mu is not the enemy. For the entire board of directors of Google, no one is willing to be the enemy of Muye technology in the future. Therefore, Google has long established a corporate strategy for Muye Technology: as long as Muye technology does not extend its business to Google's core search business, Google will never extend its business to Muye technology 。
To put it bluntly, Google is afraid to provoke Makino technology.
Google is like a crusader who wants to March eastward. Li Mu and his pastoral technology are not the pagans who must be conquered in the eyes of the Crusaders, but the Venetians on the way of the Crusades. The Crusaders' Knights have no ability to cross the sea on a large scale. They can only pay the Venetians to send the Crusaders to the other side with their powerful fleet.
The Venetians want money.
Seeing Larry Page's mood seems to be much relaxed, Li Mu smiles and suddenly says, ”by the way, Larry, if we reach a preliminary agreement, I need to wait for the successful IPO of Muye technology to make up the funds needed to invest in Google. Of course, I will calculate the interest for the shareholders of Google.”
Larry Page was stunned. He couldn't help sighing. Li Mu was really good at calculation. He not only wanted to buy shares in Google, but also delayed payment. He just came here empty handed.
But even if Larry Page has 10000 complaints in his heart, he can't say it. The most important thing is to lock in the huge traffic of Makino technology before Yahoo wants to go away from Google, and give the money later
Then, Larry Page pretended to be relaxed and said to Li Mu, ”Mr. Li, we are mainly to enhance the strategic cooperation between Google and Muye technology. The most important thing is to determine the matters of stock ownership and the plan of cooperation. As for the money, pay later and pay later. I believe that the board of directors of Google will not refuse.”
Li Mu smiled: ”then I will wait for your final offer to see how many shares your shareholders are willing to dilute.”
”Good.” Larry Page nodded. The Crusaders paid almost all their property to the Venetian merchants in order to make a successful expedition. Now, Google is willing to make corresponding sacrifices for its long journey.
……
After talking about the ”deep cooperation” with Google, Li Mu began to think about Andy Rubin, the father of Google, so he asked Larry Page, ”Larry, do you know Andy Rubin?”
”Andy Rubin?” Larry Page frowned and asked, ”Mr. Li, do you mean Andy Rubin who used to work for apple and Microsoft and later founded danger?”
Li Mu nodded and said, ”it's him.”
Larry Page said: ”I know Andy and appreciate his ability and vision, but how does Lee always know him? Andy is a very low-key person. Silicon Valley knows that he is not a lot of people. ”
Li Mu said with a smile, ”a friend of an executive in our technical team recommended it to him. There is a vacancy in the post of project leader in Muye technology, so the manager asked him to help recommend the right person, who he said is not bad.”
Larry Page wondered, ”then why don't you just ask your management friend to help you introduce?”Li Mu smiled and said: ”his friend is still working at Apple, plus Andy used to work at Apple, and we have become Apple's biggest competitor, so he is not very suitable to appear.”
Li Mu didn't doubt Larry Page's words, and Li Mu also described the key person as ”the technology team executive of Makino technology” and ”one of his friends working at Apple”. Although the two statements are vague, they make sense logically, so Larry Page won't have any doubts.
Larry Page did not doubt Li Mu's words. Due to different professional ethics, competition restrictions and company management regulations, many people in Silicon Valley have such a sense of self-protection.
