Li Mu announced that he will build Makino Technology into the first truly open platform in the industry. This is huge good news for most of the heads of small and medium-sized enterprises and entrepreneurs at the scene. The media was also broken by Li Mu's initiative. Infected by the ecological closed loop and proactively opening his arms to the entire industry, in the eyes of these people, Li Mu is a global leader in terms of corporate size, personal wealth, industry influence, as well as his mind and sense of responsibility for the entire industry. A true leader in the Internet industry.
When they stood up and applauded Li Mu, the heads of large enterprises with a higher vision finally understood why Li Mu made this signing ceremony so grand.
Li Mu does not want to show off to the world his extremely successful "extortion", but he wants to take advantage of this opportunity that the global Internet industry is paying attention to, and send a signal to the entire industry: I want to be the father of the entire industry, and I will go smoothly from now on. I will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
Such a strategy makes many heads of large companies worried, and the young man on stage with a smile on his face and calmly accepting the thunderous applause from the audience makes them shudder.
On the stage, Li Mu gestured with both hands and suppressed the applause from the audience, then continued:
“I think the real industrial upgrading in the Internet era is for responsible and responsible large companies to continue to open up their products, their users, and their entire ecosystem to accept more small and medium-sized companies, and even accept the same level of companies. Large companies transform the Internet from countless unrelated individuals into a melting pot that integrates and reacts with each other. Only in this way can we create more new elements in the Internet."
Having said this, Li Mu paused and then said: "I believe that the era of Internet warlords and free-for-all wars has passed. War and confrontation between companies are no longer the inevitable way for Internet companies to survive. Stop wars, stop internal friction, and devote all your energy to your own development. This is the best way for most Internet companies to cooperate;
Just like the cooperation between Makino Technology, Baidu and Google, in the confrontation stage, the three companies were making subtractions to varying degrees. However, in the cooperation stage, the three companies were not only able to stop losses in time, but also work together to achieve new growth and breakthroughs. Regarding this One point, you can learn about the changes in the capital market's valuation of Google after the cooperation was announced. I'm not talking about a 50% increase, or a 100% increase, but more than 300%. Growth, this is the chemical reaction I was talking about. "
The changes in Google's valuation have been witnessed by all in the industry. From a global outlook to a global outlook, Google's changes have been completely reborn. It is no exaggeration to say that Google has emerged from a desperate situation. If Google chooses to continue to fight, it may have three consecutive valuations today. The market value of one billion dollars cannot be saved.
The intuitive examples made the entrepreneurs in the audience realize that the kind of cooperation Li Mu mentioned can play a decisive role in the development of enterprises. They can also imagine that when Makino Technology truly becomes an open enterprise , how attractive it will be.
By that time, I am afraid that the entire industry will be looking for opportunities to in-depth co-tenancy with Makino Technology, and Makino Technology will further establish its status as the godfather of the industry.
After another thunderous applause, Li Mu raised his voice a little higher, raised his right hand in front of his chest, and said impassionedly: "I believe that the 2.0 era of the Internet is coming. In this new era, we need to make some new changes. , make some new breakthroughs! If you still have any doubts about this 2.0 era, it doesn’t matter. Makino Technology and all companies that have in-depth cooperation with Makino Technology are willing to take the lead and use practical actions to clear up the clouds and clear up your doubts. The future The road is still long, we are waiting for you in front!"
When Li Mu bowed to the audience, the audience stood up again. Applause, praise and cheers filled the entire venue. The media focused their cameras on Li Mu in the center of the stage and every enthusiastic person in the audience. Li Mu has become the true godfather of the Internet industry in the eyes of most people.
Media reporters quickly transmitted Li Mu’s remarks about “open platforms” and “Internet 2.0 era” from the front-end scene back to the back-end headquarters. Then global media began to publish news updates, which had only two central ideas:
1. Li Mu will build Makino Technology into the first open platform in the Internet industry;
2. Li Mu will lead Makino Technology to take the lead in entering the Internet 2.0 era!
…
After Li Mu walked off the stage, the host came on stage to announce the official start of the signing ceremony. Amid the intense excitement of the audience, Larry Page, Robin and Li Mu returned to the stage and sat at the tables prepared for each.
The etiquette lady brought three formal agreements. After the three of them exchanged their names and signed all three agreements, Li Mu, who was sitting in the middle, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Robin on one side first, and then with Robin on the other side. Larry Page shook hands, and Larry Page also stepped forward to shake hands with Robin. The host officially announced: Google has officially completed the acquisition of Muye & Baidu, and Muye & Baidu has officially become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Google.
Immediately afterwards, came the Q&A session that everyone was looking forward to.
The staff quickly removed the tables and chairs on the stage and replaced them with four single sofas. Li Mu, Robin, and Larry Page were sitting facing the audience. Sitting at an angle.
After the three people were seated, the host said: "I believe that many guests here have many questions to ask our three protagonists on the stage, especially Mr. Li Mu Li. I was in the audience when you gave your speech just now. , I found that our thousands of guests and journalist friends are most concerned about your remarks about open platforms and the Internet 2.0 era. I believe that everyone must also have many questions to ask you."
Li Mu nodded politely.
At this time, the host added: "In today's Q&A session, each guest will answer three questions. We will follow the order of speeches before the start of today's ceremony. Mr. Larry Page will first select the questioner, and Answer the question from the questioner, then Mr. Robin, and Mr. Li Mu, so if you want to ask Mr. Page a question now, you can raise your hand."
Many media reporters and entrepreneurs in the audience raised their hands. The first person Larry Page chose to ask a question was a female reporter from an American media.
After the female reporter got the microphone, she immediately stood up and asked: "Mr. Page, I would like to ask you, when Google chose to have in-depth cooperation with Makino Technology, Makino Technology announced that it would give up its presence in the search engine field in the next five years. development opportunities, does that also mean that Google has to give up all businesses that overlap with Makino Technology?”
Larry Page smiled slightly and said: "Google's goal is very clear, which is to take root in the search engine field and make this business bigger and stronger. Even if we don't cooperate with Makino Technology, we have never thought about trying Makino Technology. The existing business of technology, so my answer is: Google has never thought about doing those businesses, so it is naturally impossible to talk about giving up.”
The female reporter nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Page."
Later, Larry Page selected a reporter from Chinese media. The other person stood up and asked politely: "Mr. Page, I would like to ask, how big do you think the market space and prospects of search engines will be in the future?"
Larry Page thought for a moment and said: "I personally am very optimistic about search engines. I think the market space of search engines will occupy at least 30% of the entire Internet industry in the future, because every Internet user cannot do without it. Search engines. In the future, most traffic will first flow into search engines and then be distributed to various websites by search engines. Search engines will become the 'Atlanta Airport' in the future Internet field. As we all know, Atlanta Airport has the largest tourist throughput in the world. of airports, regardless of their destination, a large portion of travelers pass through Atlanta Airport."
The reporter who asked the question said thank you with satisfaction. At this time, the host reminded him at the right time: "There is one last opportunity to ask Mr. Page a question. Please take the time to raise your hands."
As soon as the words fell, more people raised their hands to indicate that they wanted to ask questions.
Larry Page did not choose from reporters this time, but chose an on-site guest. The guest was young, dressed plainly, and wore myopia. He looked very much like an Internet entrepreneur.
The selected guest was a white man. After he stood up, he first introduced himself to Larry Page and said: "Hello, Mr. Page, I am the CEO of St. Loy in Silicon Valley. I want to ask you a question." Yes: Google has sacrificed its interests to cooperate with Makino Technology, and has also received five years of security guarantees, but if five years later, Makino Technology decides to build its own search engine, what will Google do then?"
Larry Page looked at Li Mu, then at the questioner, and said jokingly: "To be honest, I haven't thought about this problem yet, because I think that in the past five years of cooperation between Makino Technology and Google, In time, it will definitely help Google grow into the strongest company in the search engine field. By that time, Google's market value will also give Makino Technology huge returns. In this case, why should Makino Technology bother to make one on its own? What about search engines?”
After saying that, Larry Page looked at Li Mu and asked with a smile but some uncertainty in his heart: "Mr. Li, what do you think?"
Li Mu smiled slightly, picked up the microphone, and said calmly: "Actually, the mentality of this gentleman's question is still in what I said is the typical psychology of entrepreneurs in the Internet 1.0 era. The typical psychology of entrepreneurs in this era is that everyone is an opponent. Don’t trust anyone. For example, Germany and the Soviet Union during World War II. Even if they signed a non-aggression pact, everyone was sharpening their knives secretly. But as I said just now, if the 1.0 era of the Internet is a world war , then the 2.0 era should be post-war reconstruction.”
After a pause, Li Mu continued: "The key to post-war reconstruction is to allocate most of the manpower, material resources, and energy that were previously used to fight against others and use it for one's own development. If we still stick to the wartime goals, mentality and strategy will inevitably be gradually eliminated by this society. Fortunately, Makino Technology and Google have got rid of this mentality and entered the Internet 2.0 era I just mentioned earlier. In this new 2.0 era, Makino Technology and Google have also It was no longer a relationship between Germany and the Soviet Union, but a relationship between the United States and Canada.”
After saying this, Li Mu looked at the questioner playfully and said with a smile: "Since you are an entrepreneur in Silicon Valley, you are most likely American, right?"
The other party nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I am an American."
Li Mu smiled slightly and asked him: "Then let me ask you a question."
The other party hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, please speak."
Li Mu asked curiously: "Do you think that one day in the future, the United States will suddenly mobilize heavy troops to invade Canada?"
