Chapter 1493 (1/2)
Larry Page has been in a better mood in recent days.
For him, the worst day was the first day to fly from America to China. He was not only extremely tired, but also frightened by Li Mu's threats.
However, since Google compromised as a whole, accepted Li Mu's request and decided to acquire Muye & Baidu, and agreed with Li Mu Da, Larry Page's mood has been climbing like Yanjing's temperature.
Google is becoming more and more popular in the capital market, which is the key to Larry Page's rising mood. What makes him more excited is Li Mu's emphasis on this cooperation.
Li Mu invited so many elites in the field of Internet and capital to make the cooperation between Google and Muye technology a global hot spot. This positive attitude made the capital market realize that Li Mu really wanted to cooperate with Google with all his strength and in-depth. He endorsed Google, which is a great support for Google's valuation.
At this time, Larry Page is talking with several Silicon Valley friends in red. Li Mu and Mark Zuckerberg come to him. Several Silicon Valley elites see Li Mu coming and say hello to Li Mu in a hurry. Larry Page turns his head to see Li Mu, and immediately turns around and says with a smile, ”how are you, Mr. Li?”
Li Mu nodded one by one and then said to several people, ”I'm here to introduce you to a friend, Mark Zuckerberg, who is now studying at Harvard University.”
Mark Zuckerberg quickly waved to a few people and said shyly, ”Hi, Hello, my name is Mark Zuckerberg, you can call me mark.”
”Hi mark.” Larry Page shook hands with him warmly and introduced himself.
But some people don't understand. Li Mu is the most expensive entrepreneur in the field today. Even Larry Page, who is worth billions of dollars, is obviously not a rank in front of him. But Mark Zuckerberg, who looks like a young man in his early twenties, why is he so valued by Li Mu, or even Introduced by Li Mu?
Li Mu saw the surprise in the eyes of several people, smiled and said to them, ”Mark Zuckerberg is my partner. He has an entrepreneurial project, and I invested in the angel round.”
When I heard that Mark Zuckerberg actually took Li Mu's investment, everyone immediately looked up to him. A college student's venture project, which is hard to move even a small venture capital fund, was directly invested by the top tycoons in the Internet industry. What's so remarkable about this guy?
Larry Page was shocked and asked curiously, ”mark, what's the name of the project you're working on? Can you introduce it to us? ”
”Hello, Mr. Page, the project I'm working on is called Facebook, a social product based on the web,” Mark Zuckerberg said
”Oh! It's Facebook! ” Larry Page said: ”I used Facebook and had a good experience. A college classmate told me that I used it to find a girl I had been secretly in love with when I was in college.”
Others also nodded. As Silicon Valley elites, they pay close attention to every product that was born on the Internet. Although Facebook was founded in Harvard, thousands of kilometers away from Silicon Valley, it took more than six million dollars of angel round investment from Li Mu. With the help of funds, Facebook has become famous among college students, Silicon Valley has naturally paid attention to this product.
However, several people present, including Larry Page, have never thought that Facebook is a potential project, because in their opinion, this is a page product for college students to make friends with. The user audience is narrow. Moreover, with the rise of YY, the Internet industry in the world pays more attention to client products, and the recognition of client products is much greater They've done web products, so they haven't paid much attention to Facebook.
”Facebook may become a part of the YY ecosystem in the future, so we need Google to guide it in the search engine portal in the future. After you return to Silicon Valley, you can help arrange it,” Li Mu told Larry Page
When Larry Page heard that Li Mu wanted to integrate Facebook into YY ecology in the future, he understood why Li Mu wanted to invest in this project. Many large enterprises would like to sow seeds to arrange small-scale entrepreneurship projects in a large area outside. If they grow well, they would take back the group's internal key cultivation. If they don't grow well, they would be allowed to grow outside Out.
The main reason why we don't put the project in the system at the beginning is that we don't have enough energy. For enterprises like Tengxun, there are at least three figures of projects with capital investment outside. If we put all the projects in the system, Tengxun's energy and resources will not be taken care of. For example, if the project of three figures of milk at a draught, the cows with the highest milk production will be dragged down In this way, it's better to do a preliminary screening first, give money to each project, and then let it fight and kill by itself. When it comes out, it's important to focus on training. If it doesn't come out, it doesn't matter if it dies.In other words, this kind of investment is similar to the legend of Tibetan mastiff. First, let the God help to do a round of preliminary screening.
But. What Larry Page didn't expect was that Li Mu didn't tell him the truth.
Facebook is very important in Li Mu's future territory, but he is not ready to absorb Facebook into Makino technology, which comes from his long-standing view: no matter how big a cake is, it can't burn its pot.
