On Sunday, Li Mu was the only one left in dormitory 606 in Yanjing.
He first went to the hospital early in the morning and saw that Zhao Ziqiu and the girls in their dormitory were there. He felt relieved and made an appointment with Kong Lingyu to inquire about the development progress of Alipay.
Kong Lingyu said that the time node given is that in another week, or at most ten days, the first version of Alipay will be released.
At that time, all the remaining problems of Alipay will be placed in front of Li Mu. The biggest problem is which bank to find to cooperate first. He doesn't even know a bank teller at the moment.
However, Li Mu did not reveal anything in front of Kong Lingyu, but chatted with Kong Lingyu about the next step of Tieba.
Li Mu said: "Right now, Tieba's number of registered users, active users, and simultaneous online users are all trending towards 163 Chat Room and two other dominant chat rooms. If we work harder, we can become the largest Chinese-speaking community in the world. Don't underestimate it." Once we have established our reputation as the world's largest, many investment banks will immediately notice us, and then Series B can be launched."
Kong Lingyu said: "Do we need to raise funds so quickly? It seems that the millions raised last time were not spent much. Apart from expanding the team, we have almost no investment in promotion. At this time, the financing is at a loss. ?”
No company starts to raise Series B before half or even a quarter of the money raised in Series A is spent. The same goes for Li Mu. His inner plan is to burn more than 80% of the Series A financing first. After that, let’s talk about Series B financing. Before Series B, as long as you spend money in the right direction, every extra dollar spent can increase the company’s valuation by ten yuan or more during Series B.
However, Li Mu’s explanation for not burning money is: “Right now, we are still in the first stage of Tieba, which is the pure community stage. We have done a good job in the community function, and Baidu is guiding us. In this case, there is no need for us to burn money, but Tieba will soon enter the second stage, and once it enters the second stage, Makino Technology will enter a rapid money-burning mode."
Kong Lingyu became more energetic: "The first stage is community, so what is the second stage?"
Li Mu said two words lightly: "Interaction."
"Interaction? What do you mean?"
Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Personal space, and interactive games based on personal space."
When he said this, Li Mu thought of Happy Farm, QQ Ranch, and QQ for parking spaces.
If Tieba opens the personal space function on the basis of the current community, and launches Happy Farm and several other popular mini-games in the personal space, the interaction value between users will reach a peak in an instant, which will have a great impact on user stickiness. , The promotion effect of user interaction is so powerful that it is comparable to a rocket thruster.
Kong Lingyu didn't know what the interaction Li Mu was talking about, and Li Mu didn't say it directly. He just told him: "During this period, in addition to developing Alipay for me, you must also remember to recruit some Flas*** for me." The development technology and designers must be in place within the next half month!”
Kong Lingyu was curious, but did not ask further questions. He nodded and said, "Okay boss, I will convey this matter to Qingya tomorrow."
With that said, Kong Lingyu asked again: "By the way, BOSS, you said the second stage is interaction, then what is the third stage? Can you reveal it in advance?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "The third stage is socializing."
"Social?" Kong Lingyu asked in surprise: "Community, interaction, socialization, is this a gradual development route?"
Li Mu shook his head: "In a narrow sense, it is indeed a gradual route, but if we look at the long-term future of five years or more, it cannot be described as gradual, but as an ecology!"
"Ecology?"
Kong Lingyu was a little confused again.
Things like ecology will be the core idea of Internet giants in ten years. The reason why Internet giants in ten years will become giants is because they create a self-ecology and a self-closed loop, thereby occupying a place on the Internet and allowing The opponent cannot shake it.
Tencent has QQ. Based on QQ, an instant messaging software, it has launched QQ games, a small game platform, QQ space, a personal homepage, QQ show, a personal customized image display, and subsequent QQ mailboxes, music, browsers, computers Butler and input method are both ecological chains and closed loops created by Tencent around the QQ product. Only products with a complete ecology can become a giant and incubate world-class apps like WeChat. Therefore, Li Mu has a strong relationship with Makino The positioning of technology is to lay out a long-term ecological chain from now on. The stronger and more complete the ecological chain is, the higher the valuation of Makino Technology will be.
Kong Lingyu is now one of the shareholders of Makino Technology. Although his shares are held on behalf of Li Mu, the holding agreement is clearly written, so he is also very concerned about the operation of the capital level and curiously asked Li Mu: "Our Will Baidu still lead the Series B round?”
Li Mu thought of Tan Yaocheng, smiled playfully, and said, "The agreement for Series A does state that Baidu has the right to lead the investment first, but I estimate that the valuation of Series B will scare them because --- They can’t afford to lead the investment!”
Kong Lingyu's eyes widened in surprise. Li Mu's subsequent words made him realize: "Although Baidu has overseas investments and is now a pioneer in domestic search engines, they have not yet figured out a profit model. They still need investors to support themselves and can convince them." It’s already great for investors to invest in our Series A. If our valuation in Series B increases by more than ten times, Baidu itself will definitely not be able to afford it. At that time, it will depend on the attitude of the capital behind it towards Makino Technology.”
Kong Lingyu nodded, feeling that a bright future was waving to him.
During this meeting, Li Mu gave Kong Lingyu a shot and asked him to start improving the team in advance. Round B is the key to the take-off of Makino Technology. If done well, Round B can soar into the sky.
…
On Sunday afternoon, Li Mu drove on the street by himself and found a female nurse known as a gold medal nurse in an agency.
This female nursing worker's surname is Liu. She is less than 40 years old. Her hometown is Cangzhou, not far from Yanjing. It is said that she has been working as a nursing worker for six or seven years. She has cared for vegetative patients, paralyzed elderly people and uremia patients. People see She seemed very kind and spoke in a measured manner. Li Mu briefly asked her about the care of uremia patients, and she answered clearly and with great experience.
Li Mu didn't hesitate much and decided to give Sister Liu a monthly salary of 1,200 yuan and let her take care of Wang Yanan's mother full-time.
Sister Liu is very satisfied with the salary. The special labor force of confinement nanny and caregiver has not yet become popular, so Li Mu thinks the price is very affordable, she also thinks it is very generous, and both parties are very satisfied.
Li Mu signed a contract with Sister Liu's agency on the spot, paid the agency fee and the first month's salary, and then drove Sister Liu directly to the hospital.
Sister Liu did not expect that this young employer, who was only twenty years old, would have a private car. She was so surprised that she was even a little cautious after getting in the car. She sat motionless in the passenger seat for fear of accidentally touching something. It made Li Mu unhappy.
Li Mu noticed Sister Liu's restraint and said with a smile: "Sister, you don't have to be so restrained. Sitting upright is very tiring. There are armrests on both sides. You can sit however you feel comfortable."
Sister Liu smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm afraid you might damage it. This car costs hundreds of thousands!"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Cars are for serving people, they are not that expensive."
Sister Liu nodded, her stiff body relaxed a little, and said, "Boss Li, you are so young and promising that you can drive a private car at such a young age."
Li Mu smiled slightly and thought that Sister Liu was also interesting. She must be curious about how she could afford to drive a private car. However, she did not directly ask what she did. Instead, she praised herself for being young and promising. This small detail , at least it can be seen that she is very measured in her heart. She knows what can be said and what words may not be good to say.
Such people are cautious and cautious, and their hearts are definitely better than ordinary people. They are definitely suitable for nursing.
Li Mu did not answer Sister Liu's question, but said: "Sister Liu, I want to ask you something later. When you get to the hospital and meet the patient and her daughter, don't tell me how much your salary is. If I ask you, just say no." Gao, if they ask you for a specific amount, just say a few hundred yuan. If the other party asks for more specific details, just say how much it is, and I won't let you say it."
Sister Liu nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I will remember it."
Li Mu added: "In addition, I will give you your monthly salary one or two days in advance from now on, so you don't want anyone else to give you a salary except me."
"That's for sure. The contract you signed with the store means that you are my employer. I will definitely not ask anyone else for money."
Li Mu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Sister Liu, do you live not far from the Third Hospital?"
“It’s not too far, you can get there by bus in half an hour.”
Li Mu asked again: "Can we cook at home?"
Sister Liu said truthfully: "The bungalow I rent is a bit simple, but cooking is fine."
Li Mu nodded and said, "Let's do this. I will give you another 800 yuan every month, and you will be responsible for the patient's three meals a day. From this 800 yuan, you can get a certain amount of hard work. But the patient’s quality of life cannot be lowered.”
Sister Liu immediately said: "I'm very good at cooking. Besides, we make money with good conscience. As for food, don't worry!"
