Li Mu doesn't have many friends in the entertainment industry. Apart from Du Wei, the only ones who can really be considered friends are Leslie Cheung and Mei Yanfang.
Therefore, he was very pleased to see the two of them coming all the way from the United States, especially when he saw that the two of them were in good condition and looking good, which made him even more relieved.
In Li Mu's impression, these two people were rare good people in the entertainment industry, and they both died young in their previous lives. Seeing that they were still standing in front of him alive, Li Mu felt very happy.
Li Mu introduced the two to his parents, as well as other friends and colleagues. The two legendary Hong Kong superstars immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Just when everyone was enjoying themselves, the bell-ringing ceremony was about to officially begin.
So, under the guidance of the staff, everyone came to the on-site hall. At this time, the hall was already overcrowded and surrounded by media reporters, guests and enthusiastic audiences.
Li Mu arranged for his parents and a group of friends to sit at the VIP seats that had been prepared for them. After the person in charge of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange made his opening remarks, he stepped onto the podium.
For a moment, the sound of shutters in the audience was like countless machine guns, clicking continuously.
Li Mu stood on the podium, smiled and said: "I chose to start a business in 2001, but at that time I never thought that I could make a career what it is today."
"Over the past two years, we have all created an unprecedented Internet enterprise empire together. This is not the result of my own efforts, but the result of the joint efforts of everyone at Makino Technology. It is also the result of the vigorous development of the Internet and national policies. A result of great support.”
"Makino Technology is committed to making the Internet affect and benefit more people, and is also committed to promoting China, which is the booming development of the Internet industry around the world;"
"Since the first half of last year, we have established an investment department. Through entrepreneurship competitions, venture capital and other methods, we have supported a large number of Internet entrepreneurial projects in the mainland. We have achieved very good results and have also cultivated a group of very powerful and innovative entrepreneurs. A very promising entrepreneurial team. This time Makino Technology is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. We also hope to open a precedent for a mainland Internet company to list in Hong Kong. On the one hand, it will open a listing financing channel for mainland Internet companies. On the other hand, we also hope that It can bring a wave of centralized listing of technology stocks to Hong Kong."
"Finally, I would like to thank all the relatives and friends present today for witnessing this historic moment with me. The listing of Makino Technology is not the highest point of the company. On the contrary, it is just a new starting point for the company. From this moment on, we shoulder the responsibility It will also become bigger. We no longer only carry the interests of thousands of employees of Makino Technology, but also the interests of hundreds of thousands or even millions of shareholders. Therefore, from now on, Makino Technology will definitely move forward. Create the next peak.”
After the brief speech, Li Mu started to ring the bell for listing.
Makino Technology, under the attention of the whole world, was finally successfully listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. This became one of the most watched news in the world that day.
On the day of listing, the market's expectations for Makino Technology were so high that Makino Technology's share price rose by 43% on the first day, setting a global record of a market value of US$645 billion.
With the successful listing of Makino Technology, Li Mu allocated more funds to invest in various research and development work and cloud computing data services. At this time, the global Internet was booming because of the listing of Makino Technology, so, Global Internet entrepreneurial projects are springing up like mushrooms after a rain.
Since the Internet bubble burst in 2000, the Internet industry has finally experienced a desperate situation. Capital has regained its confidence in the Internet industry, and a large amount of hot money has begun to flow into the Internet industry from the market, promoting the further development and growth of the industry.
The cloud computing services that Makino Technology has been accumulating for a long time have finally ushered in a huge market dividend, and in a short period of time it has become a cloud computing giant with a market share of more than 70%.
When the Internet became popular all over the world, peers and capital finally understood why Li Mu had deployed data processing centers all over the world from the beginning. It turned out that he had long seen the re-emergence of the Internet and the many emerging companies that would bring A large amount of data processing was required, so he was prepared in advance to seamlessly connect with this wave of dividends.
Because of the rapid development of cloud computing services, Makino Technology's recognition in the market has increased a lot.
At the same time, the market value of Makino Technology has gradually stabilized at the US$700 billion mark after several fluctuations.
However, the current market value is meaningless to Li Mu and Makino Technology itself. It is nothing more than 10% of the circulating stocks changing hands back and forth in the market. Some people make money by buying low and selling high, and some people make money by buying high and selling low. Lost money.
After Makino Technology went public, Li Mu began to promote Taobao's business expansion.
Taobao has now become a monopoly-level e-commerce platform in China, and Taobao Logistics, which is supported by Taobao, has also become the leading express delivery company in the country. It has a very efficient express delivery system, equipped with a large number of civil aviation passenger aircraft belly hold resources and logistics. With special train resources and a huge road transport fleet, it is an absolute leader in the country.
Now, Taobao Logistics has established its own airline. The first step is to buy three second-hand cargo civilian aircraft from Air China, and then invest them in point-to-point transportation business in four first-tier cities across the country.
An ordinary passenger plane has a limited space in the belly compartment because most of the space carries passengers and a small amount of space is used for passenger luggage. One flight can often only carry about ten cubic meters of cargo, and there is a high weight requirement. limit.
But once you own your own passenger plane, the total amount of cargo that can be carried on any sortie is dozens or hundreds of times that of the belly hold of a civil aircraft, which greatly improves the overall turnover efficiency and capabilities of Taobao Logistics.
Taobao Logistics itself, due to business needs, is equipped with a large number of self-operated warehouses, which is equivalent to having a powerful warehousing system. Therefore, this makes Taobao's comprehensive strength continue to grow. Lei Jiaozhu has even begun to set the direction of development. It is aiming overseas and preparing to compete directly with Amazon's core business.
Leader Lei’s preparation to compete with Amazon was planned and promoted by Li Mu.
Although Taobao currently does not have much overseas business, Li Mu still hopes to make a move against Amazon.
At this stage, Amazon’s real core business is e-commerce.
However, in the future, Amazon's enterprise cloud services will be able to rank first in the world.
Li Mu doesn't want Amazon's enterprise cloud to have a huge impact on Makino Technology in the future, so he plans to solve the problem from the source and directly hit Amazon without the energy to worry about new cloud businesses.
In this way, he loses a powerful enemy.
