In a private room of a Japanese-style hotel with a quiet environment, Li Mu and Liu Edong were sitting together with Chen Tong. As their disciples, Li Mu took the initiative to pour some sake for them and said to Chen Tong: "Brother Chen, I heard that you It’s been a long time since I’ve had a name, but I’ve never had a chance to meet. Today I finally got my wish. Let me introduce myself. I’m Li Mu, a freshman from the 01st class of our National People’s Congress.”
When Li Mu poured the wine, Chen Tong held the wine glass with both hands. From this action, it could be seen that although Li Mu respected him as his senior brother, he had unconsciously lowered himself to a lower level. He felt that in front of Li Mu, , but he is a junior. After all, he has been in society for so long. He no longer ranks people based on age and enrollment time, but instead ranks them in his mind based on social status and strength.
He is not inferior to him, but in front of Li Mu, he still feels inferior to him.
Hearing what Li Mu said so politely, Chen Tong felt a little unbearable, and said politely and humbly: "Mr. Li is too polite. Compared with you, I can't be considered famous."
Li Mu smiled and said: "If Senior Brother Chen is not from the National People's Congress, then I will definitely have no objection if you call me Mr. Li. But like Senior Brother Liu, you are both seniors of the National People's Congress. Out of respect for the school, I have to I call you senior brother. Besides, we have no business dealings. When senior brother Liu calls me Mr. Li at work, I reluctantly accept it. But in this private gathering and drinking situation, you still call me Mr. Li. This is a bit unreasonable.”
Li Mu's words gave Chen Tong a soft thumb. Although his tone was very calm, it put some pressure on Chen Tong, so he had no choice but to nod and said, "Okay, then I'll just call him by his name, just like Ha Dong. Bar."
Li Mu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "I have basically listened to what Senior Brother Chen said today, and I am deeply touched. On behalf of Taobao's operation team, I have to thank you for your selfless teaching today."
Chen Tong waved his hand politely: "You're too polite. It's not a big deal in the first place. I just want to talk about some of my humble opinions on the Internet. I don't know if it will be of any practical use to Taobao's operations team."
"Of course." Li Mu said with a smile: "Taobao's operation team is different from its technical team. The technical team is mostly supported by the technical backbone of Makino Technology. They are top in the industry in terms of experience and strength, but the operation team is a newly established company. Our new team still has many shortcomings in terms of experience. You gave them a very meaningful educational lesson today, which will definitely play a very positive role in their future development."
Liu Edong also said: "Yes, Brother Chen, e-commerce is originally an emerging industry, and it has never developed in a real sense in China, so everyone has little experience. It is especially necessary for senior people like you to share some in-depth knowledge in the Internet field. Hierarchical insights.”
Chen Tong's face was a little hot and he said: "Whether it is now or in the future, your achievements on the Internet are far greater than mine, so you should not join forces to praise me..."
"It's different." Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Brother Liu and I are focusing on products, platforms and ecology, but our control over content is far less professional than yours."
Chen Tong asked Li Mu curiously: "What does ecology mean?"
Li Mu said: "Ecology is the vertical and horizontal cooperation between products to jointly create an ecosystem that maximizes resource utilization and investment returns, such as the mutual cooperation between several major products of Makino Technology, and the sharing and joint expansion of user groups. etc."
Chen Tong nodded thoughtfully and said, "Makino Technology is involved in so many fields, is it building its own ecosystem?"
Li Mu nodded: "Yes, including Taobao and Alipay, they are also part of this large ecosystem."
Chen Tong took the opportunity to ask him: "What is the positioning of the navigation website in Makino Technology? This kind of website with very low technical content seems to be different from the usual style of Makino Technology."
Li Mu asked: "In your eyes, what is the style of Makino Technology?"
Chen Tong thought for a while and said: "I feel that Makino Technology's style is: using superior concepts and technology to do things that others have not thought of or cannot do."
Li Mu smiled and said: "That's just part of it. In the literary and art field, it is said that both refined and popular people can appreciate it. The Internet industry has to pay more attention to the matching of high and low. Although the navigation website is not high in technical content, it is an indispensable Internet tool for large users."
There is something Li Mu did not say. He now has the communication portal for users to access the Internet, and the portal for users to shop and pay, but he has not yet mastered the Web portal for users to access the Internet for ordinary purposes. The navigation website is a very important Web portal, especially the portal network.
Chen Tong also felt that Li Mu must be hiding something, because he felt that in the past, most of the products made by Makino Technology were promoted and everyone in the industry knew about them. However, when it comes to YY123, they have not really spread their wings. I just use my own products to promote this self-owned navigation website. In the past, I have never seen any of the extremely high-profile promotions on the navigation website.
In fact, Li Mu has long been prepared to fight high, but recently he has been focusing on Taobao. Now that Taobao is online and has achieved great success, he can free up his energy and invest in the next step. Into the plan to deal with Hao123 and Sina.
At present, YY's website red, white and green list functions and domain name blocking functions have been developed, but have not yet been launched. Once the head-on war with Sina begins, all information about Sina will be available in the YY ecosystem, which has over 100 million users. After Hao123 also obtains it and successfully links to YY123, Sina will completely disappear from YY123.
At the dinner table, Chen Tong found an opportunity to ask Li Mu during a topic about portals: "Does Makino Technology have any thoughts on developing a portal at the moment?"
Li Mu could see Chen Tong's feelings and belonging to Sina, and knew that it was impossible for him to seduce him simply by talking, so he lied on this issue, shook his head and said, "Portal is very interested in Makino Technology at this stage. It’s not very meaningful, I’m not ready yet.”
Although it's not appropriate to lie, you can't tell Chen Tong that he has already started preparing for the portal. If he gives feedback to Sina, combined with his own work on YY123, and Sina guesses his purpose, things will become a little bit complicated. Trouble is, before I successfully acquire Hao123, the news about the portal cannot be leaked.
Even though Li Mu didn't reveal anything about the portal, Chen Tong was still worried. The ecological concept Li Mu emphasized today made him finally understand what Li Mu wanted to do. He was constantly building new weapons, and the ultimate goal was It is to create one or more powerful aircraft carrier battle groups, and YY is one of the aircraft carriers. It is the soul of Makino Technology's huge ecosystem. Sina is now poaching people to develop UC to compete with YY. It can be said to be Li Mu's mortal enemy in the future. , God knows what kind of response Li Mu will take next.
The three of them chatted for a long time in the private room. After all, they all graduated from the National People's Congress. Although Li Mu was a freshman, he and the two graduates were of the same origin. In addition, everyone was engaged in the Internet industry, so the chat was very speculative. But Chen Tong has always been wary of Li Mu. Although he hid it well, he could not hide it from Li Mu's keen sense.
Although Chen Tong is a standard paranoid in Li Mu's eyes, Li Mu's expectation of poaching him to join Makino Technology is getting stronger and stronger. In the future, Makino Technology will not only build a portal website, but also develop an Internet pan-entertainment and build its own A high-quality content library is not just web content, but also videos, music, books, movies, games, etc. These aspects require a strong content controller. Chen Tong is the most suitable candidate. Xiaomi will poach him in the future just to let He came to build a huge content chain that supports his various hardware, software and MIUI. Li Mu also has the same goal.
Digging his way is a long way to go.
…
After bidding farewell to Chen Tong and Liu Eodong at the entrance of the Japanese restaurant, Li Mu walked back to Yucheng Garden alone. Because he wanted to drink, he left his car downstairs at Taobao and did not drive away.
Halfway through, Ning Hao, who had not been in contact for a long time, suddenly called him. Li Mu thought that there was something about the two movies, but he did not expect that he told Li Mu a strange news: a charity foundation in Hong Kong suddenly contacted Makino Imaging. I hope to invite Du Wei to a fundraising gala to be held in Hong Kong in the middle of this month.
Li Mu was very surprised and asked him: "Why did you invite Du Wei to the fund-raising party in Hong Kong?"
Ning Hao said: "Their public relations email means that the person in charge of their fund admires Du Wei very much, and Du Wei also has a good popularity base in Hong Kong, so they hope that Du Wei can participate in this event as a special guest Fundraising gala, which can also promote charity cooperation between Hong Kong and Mainland China."
Li Mu was even more puzzled and couldn't help but ask: "What charity fund?"
Ning Hao coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said, "The Vaccine Protection Fund is a charity fund that specializes in protecting and preventing minors from being harmed by sexual abuse."
Li Mu smacked his lips and said, "The focus of this foundation is a little different..."
Ning Hao said: "It's a bit different. The other party knew that Du Wei's agent had an appointment with our company, so they sent an official letter directly. If you feel it is inappropriate, then I will reply to the email and reject them."
Li Mu thought for a while and said: "In this case, you can forward the email to my mailbox. It just so happens that I have to talk to Du Wei and her sister about Du Wei's endorsement of YY in the next two days. Then I will ask Du Wei herself I mean."
Ning Hao said: "Okay, I will forward the email to your mailbox later."
Li Mu hummed and asked him: "How is the movie "A Thief Among Thieves" going?"
"The script and storyboards are almost finished. I have found some old friends and the team is almost ready. I want to go to Yuzhou this week to have a look and choose a suitable shooting location."
Li Mu then said, "Speed it up. If you decide when to start filming, quickly make an appointment with Liu Tianwang's agency to see if you can lock in his schedule."
Ning Hao said: "Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible. By the way, you asked me to find a director suitable for filming a campus romance movie last time, and I have a suitable candidate this time!"
