Li Mu's explanation of Li Ziwei's sexy operation can be said to have dug a big hole completely tailor-made for Larry Page.
When Larry Page heard Li Ziwei's reply without thinking that Li Mu was going back to China, he felt that his heart suddenly fell from the abyss. He had no doubt that this matter was completely prepared for him. He just subconsciously felt that , what Li Ziwei blurted out must not be a lie. As an assistant, it was impossible for her to make up lies casually without consulting Li Mu.
However, he just couldn't figure it out. Li Mu had figured it out a long time ago, and then set a "code" for him. The way to activate this "code" was to call him.
Makino Technology hoarded heavy troops to besiege Google. Before the war started, Larry Page, who was under siege, could no longer withstand the tremendous pressure. Now he just wanted to sue for peace from Li Mu. Otherwise, if a war really started, Google would suffer heavy losses.
However, I never expected that Li Mu would leave tomorrow!
Larry Page never wants Li Mu to return to China. In that case, there will be no room for mediation in this matter. Whether it is Makino Technology, Baidu, or Muye&Baidu.Inc, they all follow Li Mu’s lead. The only way The person who ordered them to stop the siege of Google was Li Mu. If this person who gave the order leaves, then these senior executives and employees who remain in the United States will fully follow the order and launch their chariots.
Immediately, Larry Page couldn't hide his panic and asked: "Miss Li, could you please tell Mr. Li Mu that I have something very urgent and important to talk to him in person, and I won't take up too much of his time?" Half an hour is enough."
Li Ziwei said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Page. Mr. Li has told me that he will not discuss any official business before leaving. Not to mention you, even our vice president will not see him, so please understand."
Larry Page asked with a trembling voice: "Ms. Li, can you help me pass the message to see if Mr. Li really doesn't want to see me? Maybe he will change his mind after hearing this."
Li Ziwei said: "Mr. Page, Mr. Li has made clear requests, so please don't make it difficult for me."
"This..." Larry Page didn't know what to do.
Li Ziwei said again at this time: "Mr. Page, I still have something to do. Let's talk another day."
After that, Li Ziwei hung up the phone, then picked up another phone and called the business jet company, telling them that Li Mu was going to return to China from San Francisco tomorrow morning and let them start preparations.
Larry Page felt dizzy after Li Ziwei hung up the phone. What should he do? Li Mu is going back to China and refuses to meet him. He wants to sue for peace. Who should he talk to
Lin Qingya? !
Larry Page suddenly felt that he had grasped hope again, and hurriedly said to Li Ziwei: "Then let me call Mr. Lin. Thank you, Miss Li."
"You're welcome."
After hanging up the phone, Larry Page immediately called Lin Qingya. Lin Qingya is the general manager of Makino Technology in the United States. He has her personal contact information, so asking her to help convey the message should have a high chance of success.
Lin Qingya received a call from Larry Page and asked in a calm tone with a hint of coldness: "Mr. Page, what do you do for me?"
Larry Page said hurriedly: "Hello, Mr. Lin, I'm calling because I hope to make an appointment with you and Mr. Li to talk again about the previous cooperation. I wonder if you and Mr. Li have time?"
Lin Qingya said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li is already preparing to return to China. When he gave us a meeting the day before yesterday, he had already arranged all the work requirements. Until he leaves the United States, he will not have any contact with work again. If If you have anything, you can wait until Mr. Li returns to China to contact his personal assistant, Miss Li, and Miss Li will naturally convey it to you then."
After saying that, Lin Qingya added: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Page, I'm really too busy right now. As you know, Mr. Li attaches great importance to the affairs of Muye & Baidu. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first.”
When Larry Page heard this, his heart felt worse than swallowing coptis. Lin Qingya said that she was very busy because of Muye&Baidu.Inc. This was not a problem to say, but tell Larry Page It's a little weird, as if to say: "Sorry Mr. Page, I'm really busy hunting you down, so I'm really a little too busy."
However, Larry Page had no time to take into account his own mood. He was afraid that Lin Qingya would hang up the phone, so he directly threw out his trump card and said: "Mr. Lin, please tell Mr. Li that we are willing to pay 40 With a valuation of US$100 million, 20% of the shares will be diluted to Makino Technology. If Mr. Li is still interested in Google, we can sit down and chat, I am available at any time."
Larry Page felt that even if Li Mu was unwilling to discuss work before leaving the United States, such good deal conditions were really rare. When Lin Qingya heard this, she would definitely think that the matter was serious and report to Li Mu. , Li Mu will definitely be willing to talk to him again.
However, Lin Qingya did not let Larry Page get what he wanted. She said calmly: "Mr. Page, I just said that before Mr. Li left the United States, he did not allow me to contact him for any official business, so your offer There is no need to entrust me to convey it, you can wait until he returns to China before communicating with Miss Li."
"this… "
Larry Page was in a particularly irritable mood. With a valuation of 4 billion and 20% of the shares, he was really asking for peace on his knees. He thought the other party would be satisfied and moved, but in the end the other party didn't even look at him.
This made Larry Page understand a truth. Sometimes, kneeling is also about opportunities. Only when the other party gives you a chance can you kneel in front of him. If the other party doesn't give you a chance, you are not even qualified to kneel.
Really helpless, Larry Page could only say helplessly: "Okay, Mr. Lin, I will contact him after Mr. Li returns to China."
The entire top management of Google was waiting for Larry Page's results. When Larry Page truthfully relayed the situation to the top management, everyone's expressions were extremely ugly. Their inner feelings were similar to Larry Page's. It was at this moment that I truly realized that if I missed the right to kneel once, there would be no second chance.
Now the entire Muye Technology is adjusting its strategic deployment on a large scale under the strategic command of Li Mu. More and more forces are beginning to be drawn from various other fields and invested in Muye & Baidu. Inc., and Baidu is also particularly concerned about the identity of this kind of mercenary. Investment, according to what Google learned from China, Baidu headquarters is expanding its team on a large scale and continues to conduct in-depth training for all employees. The training content is very rich, and there is even a training course called "American Life Guide". This class The purpose of the course is to educate the team on the operating model and living habits of American society, and even detail how to rent a house in Silicon Valley, how to take public transportation, and how to save money.
It is said that Baidu hopes that all technical personnel will have the ability to work in the United States anytime and anywhere to support Muye & Baidu.Inc at any time.
Baidu's investment is not just for its 10% share in Muye & Baidu. Inc. They are more to put huge pressure on Google in Google's lair, forcing Google to allocate more energy to deal with it. In the future, it can greatly reduce the pressure that Google brings to Baidu in the Chinese market, and Baidu can also take advantage of this opportunity to further consolidate its strength in the country.
Larry Page has seen through this trick of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao, but there is no way. As the pressure on Google increases, Google must withdraw its energy from the Chinese market and other overseas markets to fully respond to Muye & Baidu's sniper attack.
The extremely passive situation made Larry Page scratch his head. Just when he didn't know what to do, Li Mu had already received a call from Lin Qingya.
"4 billion, 20%?" Li Mu laughed as he listened to Lin Qingya's retelling.
Lin Qingya hummed and said with a smile: "His voice was very anxious. It seems that we have indeed put a lot of pressure on him recently."
Li Mu said: "Where is this? There will be times when he is under great pressure. They thought that our Muye search would take at least a few months to come out, but I have prepared a big surprise for them. I told Robin yesterday After communication, the first phase of Muye & Baidu’s work is to put a Muye search vest on Baidu search, then start internal testing, and get the product out as soon as possible. When the product is released, they will collapse even more.”
Lin Qingya asked: "Mr. Li, when will the vest products be released?"
Li Mu chuckled and said: "If you just put on a vest, it will come out in a few days. After I return to China, Muye & Baidu will choose the opportunity to release the first internal beta version. Maybe this internal beta version will be different from Baidu except for the domain name, logo and server. Others are basically a complete set of solutions copied from Baidu.”
Lin Qingya said: "Would a pure vest product be a bit perfunctory to consumers?"
Li Mu said with a smile: "This vest product will not be available to the public. We will only release a few thousand internal test invitation accounts at most. We will sell the concept first, and then wait for Larry Page to come to discuss it."
Lin Qingya asked curiously: "Mr. Li, do you want to continue negotiating with Google?"
Li Mu hummed and said with a smile: "At that time, I will not talk to Google about buying shares in Google. Buying shares is too troublesome and costs money."
Lin Qingya became even more puzzled and asked, "Then what are your plans?"
Li Mu said with a smile: "I am digging a big pit for Google, and it is a pit with pits in it. After I return to China tomorrow, you must go all out for Muye & Baidu in the United States. Everything will be done according to the rhythm I have set." Push forward, you don’t have to worry about the rest, I’ll take my time with them.”
In the end, Li Mu did not tell Lin Qingya what he planned to do at the strategic level of Muye & Baidu.
It's not that he has any distrust in Lin Qingya, he simply doesn't want Lin Qingya to be unable to grasp the direction of her responsibility after knowing too much. Li Mu needs her to play the role she should play in the United States without any distractions. As long as Every link is advanced according to the rhythm set by itself. Google will definitely fail this time!
