After a long time, Li Mu asked Wei Lan, who was lying on his chest and listening to his heartbeat.
"Why do you pretend to be experienced when you clearly have no experience?"
Wei Lan didn't dare to look into Li Mu's eyes and said in an inaudible voice: "If I don't say that, what if you hesitate?"
Li Mu was speechless for a moment. If he looked at Weilan now, every aspect and every aspect she presented to him would be perfect, but if time went back to that moment, he didn't know what decision he would make.
After thinking about it, Li Mu could only hold her tighter, feeling emotional in his heart, but he settled the score and said, "You deceived me again."
Wei Lan came closer and looked at Li Mu closely, and said with an affectionate look, "From now on, I will never lie to you again."
Li Mu nodded and asked her, "Are you still leaving tomorrow?"
Wei Lan said with a bit of shyness: "Whenever you want me to leave, I will leave."
Li Mu said: "Then just take a few more days off."
Wei Lan said hurriedly: "No, no, I promised to go back to work on Monday, but I almost forgot. Can I leave the day after tomorrow?"
Li Mu complained: "Just now you said I had the final say."
Wei Lan coaxed Li Mu and said, "But I'm still an employee of Wanying, and Wanying is also your property. You don't have time to take care of it in the first place. I can't just throw away all that stuff."
Wei Lan is a woman with a very strong working ability, and her attitude towards work is also very dedicated. Since joining Wanying Real Estate, she has basically tried her best to do her best every day, and at this moment, she is very passionate about her work. On the contrary, Wanying Real Estate became more focused on his work. He just wanted to work harder and never become a vase next to Li Mu.
For Li Mu, Weilan's charm is the most special. Although she is several years older than him, in terms of psychological age, she is the age group that best suits his aesthetics. Whether it is doing things or communicating, she is More peace of mind.
As an IT man in his thirties, Li Mu entered the workplace at the age of 22 and became a veteran at the age of 34. In the past ten years, he has seen many mature and charming working women like Wei Lan, but every time None of them were beyond Li Mu's reach. A woman like Wei Lan would have been even more out of reach for Li Mu in his previous life. Suddenly, with such a woman by his side in this life, Li Mu felt an extraordinary sense of satisfaction.
The next day, Wei Lan changed her ticket and stayed in Shenzhen City for one more day with Li Mu.
On Sunday evening, Li Mu took Wei Lan to the airport, hugged and kissed her in the car, and after being intimate for a while, he disguised himself and sent Wei Lan through the security check.
When Wei Lan left, she made a small request to Li Mu. She did not ask Li Mu to return to Yanjing to see her as soon as possible. She just hoped that when he went to the United States again, he could tell her in advance that she also wanted to go to the United States to visit her parents. , but the busy work and the loneliness of flying alone for more than ten hours made her a little discouraged.
Li Mu knew that he would travel to the United States frequently in the future, so he agreed to her without hesitation.
…
A few days after Wei Lan left, the time entered December.
Sequoia's US$3.3 billion finally arrived at the tail end of 2002.
According to the contract, US$3 billion of the funds will be directly injected into Makino Technology's account, and the remaining US$300 million will be cashed out by all shareholders in proportion to their taxes.
According to the current exchange rate, three hundred million U.S. dollars is almost 2.5 billion yuan. Based on the share structure before the capital came in, Li Mu’s about 70% of the shares, calculated based on the 20% personal tax, would be almost 1.4 billion yuan in cash at once. .
Other shareholders also received this additional cash in proportion. Even small shareholders like Lin Qingya, who only had 1 share before, got 20 million in after-tax cash this time, which only diluted them by 10%. In addition to the cash compensation of one-third of the equity, Lin Qingya also has 0.9 points of shares, which is worth at least US$300 million based on the current market value.
This money is of great significance to every Makino Technology shareholder, including Li Mu. It is not only a generous income, but also a huge incentive, which greatly improves the morale of the entire company's core layers.
As soon as the money arrived, Li Mu immediately asked his team in the United States to immediately start preparing to build large-scale data processing centers in various countries. At the same time, he continued to find high-end talents in the field of servers and data processing in the United States. Not only should Makino Technology own Recent and future data processing needs are comprehensively addressed, and more importantly, preparations for future business development are required.
In the past, Li Mu didn't have enough funds on hand, so it was very difficult to meet the current demand. It was even more impossible to expand. At present, Li Mu has several businesses that have to wait for the completion of the data processing center before they can develop vigorously. Among them, not only magic modification After "Plants vs. Zombies", there is also an online video business.
At this stage, there is no online video website targeting the world. The biggest difficulties are streaming media transmission technology and bandwidth costs. Many small video websites can only support a few thousand people watching online at the same time. No matter how many people there are, , the server is about to crash.
When the website stayed in the content era of a large amount of text and a small amount of pictures, the demand for bandwidth resources was not very obvious. However, once it entered the video era, the bandwidth requirements increased by leaps and bounds. If you have your own data processing center , not only means that this business can be better developed, but also means that in the future, the cost of bandwidth usage will be much lower than that of competitors in the same industry. Just like a country's railway and road transportation network, it will have a great impact on the economic development and development of the entire country. In terms of strategic layout, it is of great significance.
When Makino Technology decided to build data processing centers in many countries around the world, Lin Qingya, who was also in the United States, had just finished the Thanksgiving Day competition of "Paradise Town". This global competition with generous prizes attracted a lot of attention to "Paradise Town". With a large number of users, the real promotion effect is far beyond what this cost can compare with.
At present, all the winners of the competition have been announced, and a grand press conference will be held in the United States in the near future. At that time, media resources will be used to continue to build momentum for "Paradise Town".
At the same time, the domestic campaign for "The Girls We Chased Together" has entered a fever pitch. YY.com, YY, Tieba, blogs and Taobao are all promoting this campus youth movie. Due to Li Mu's relationship with various media Very good, this movie also appears frequently in the TV media in the form of news.
By editing an extremely exciting trailer, this movie has already attracted the attention of many fans in advance. There are three highlights that attract the audience's special attention:
First, the on-screen couple images of Du Wei and Zhang Kexuan look particularly eye-catching. Both of them have very good looks. The key is that they also have very good voices. They are both professional singers, so people are looking forward to their performance in the big music industry. performance in movies;
Second, from the edited trailer, it can be seen that this is a youth campus movie with beautiful pictures, exciting plot, and local atmosphere. There are many New Year movies these days, as well as martial arts movies, and all kinds of weird and emotional movies. Quite a few, but there is no real youth campus movie, so many young people are looking forward to this movie;
Third, some of the theme songs were used in the movie's trailer, such as "Those Years" sung by Zhang Kexuan and "The First Day" sung by Du Wei. When parts of these two songs appeared in the promotional trailer, Many people find it particularly enjoyable, but the complete versions of these two songs cannot be found anywhere, which further increases the sense of anticipation.
It was Li Mu's intention not to release the theme song in advance. This is slightly different from the way other movies operate. Most movies start with the theme song. For example, this movie invited teacher Liu Huan to sing the lead vocal, so it must be The song should be promoted in advance to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, but Li Mu feels that it must ensure enough mystery. Therefore, the audience can only see a little bit of the plot through the trailer, hear a little bit of the theme song, and more. Just go to the cinema to see it.
Of course, Li Mu also has a deep understanding of today's piracy situation. Most movies have a box office of less than 10 million, and movies with a box office of more than 10 million are already very rare, and piracy is being released at an unimaginable speed.
Sometimes, just a few days after a movie is released, pirated discs have already been released. Although the pirated discs are of poor quality, they are cheap. A disc only costs a few yuan, but watching a movie costs only a few dollars. It requires at least twenty or thirty yuan.
And for many viewers, buying a pirated disc for five yuan is psychologically a real product. They can watch it once, twice, or countless times, or they can watch it with friends and family, or even watch it with friends and family. I lent it to a friend to watch, but if I spent 30 yuan to watch it in a cinema, I would have nothing left after watching it.
This time, Li Mu wants to use promotion in various fields and channels to raise enough expectations for the movie "Those Years" among users. However, he also knows very well that there is not much room for operation to directly and significantly boost the box office through promotion. Big, so the real trump card is his online ticketing system!
Li Mu plans to take the opportunity to promote his online ticketing system when "Those Years" is released. If users are satisfied, then this system will definitely make users look forward to it;
If the online ticketing system can bring better profits to theaters and increase their attendance, then this system will definitely bring the current conversion capabilities to a new level, which is extremely important for theaters. When other theaters After seeing the great potential of this area, business operators in theater chains will definitely try their best to introduce this system into their own theaters.
Therefore, at Li Mu's request, YY and Taobao were ready to pre-sell electronic tickets, and they were just waiting for Li Mu's order!
