Leader Lei was particularly shocked by what Mr. Ma talked about.
In addition to the shock, there is also a deep shame in my heart. The shame is that as a veteran Internet practitioner, I have never studied in depth why Li Mu is so successful. He just saw Li Mu's achievements. In addition to being shocked, he is also shocked. Strong doubts, but he did not ask Mr. Ma to seriously understand Li Mu's methods of doing things and the deeper information hidden under his "Internet pride" aura.
When he thought that Li Mu was so good at planning the overall situation by himself and making no mistakes, Master Lei felt sweat on his back.
This advantage of Li Mu is really great. The metaphor Mr. Ma just said is very apt. If you develop a product, it is a journey of thousands of kilometers. If other people want to walk this road, they have to rely on their legs.
When I'm lucky, I can walk twenty or thirty kilometers a day. However, when encountering wind, rain, natural disasters, and man-made disasters, I sometimes have to stop moving for a long time. It's never a flat plain, with mountains, ravines, swamps, jungles, and more. Jackals, tigers and leopards, walking is really difficult. Sometimes if you accidentally look at the wrong map or choose the wrong direction, you will be further and further away from success...
In short, developing a product, especially a good product, is a difficult task for all companies, but for Li Mu, it is as easy as a fingertip.
This journey of thousands of kilometers was made by others walking, but Li Mu was made by flying. How could it compare? Compare it to what
Leader Lei felt extremely melancholy at this moment and sighed, "Li Mu's understanding of the Internet is indeed too deep. If it were his competitor, he could easily grasp the opponent's seven inches, just like Joyo.com. Li Mu only said one sentence If he said that, I couldn’t wait to sell Joyo.com to him. In fact, I was deeply unwilling to do so, but I also clearly realized that even if I was unwilling to do so, there was no other way to go.”
Mr. Ma couldn't help but ask him: "Li Mu wants to take over Joyo.com?"
"Yes!" Lei Jiaozhu said: "The audio and video product business of Joyo.com has basically stopped, and the book business is also declining. Li Mu said that if I didn't sell Joyo.com to him, he would make books by himself, and he also said that he would take three If you come out with tens of millions, you will receive a subsidy of three yuan for every book sold, and you will first sell ten million copies..."
When Mr. Ma heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "This is indeed Li Mu's style. His way of doing things is to smash his opponents with an iron fist and smash the industry."
Leader Lei said: "There is nothing I can do. This kid is too violent in the shopping mall. He will definitely bite anyone he targets, and he will never let go of anyone he bites!"
Mr. Ma shook his head: "Mr. Lei, Li Mu is now the top product manager in the country, and owns two of the top Internet companies in the country. In this case, the industry has only two good choices: first, avoid Its edge is to not do anything that Li Mu does; secondly, to follow his preference, whatever Li Mu is doing or may do, do it in advance and then sell it to him or be absorbed by him, otherwise if there is a conflict with him, Even if there is a possibility of conflict with him in the future, he will definitely crush them with heavy punches. This is not because he is violent, but a decision that a successful businessman will inevitably make."
What Mr. Ma said was exactly the way he behaved in his previous life.
In the previous life, Tengxun had already started the afterburner mode after the QQ game was launched. By 2005, Tengxun’s position in China’s Internet had become unshakable. Over the years, Tengxun’s own business has basically covered the entire Internet industry. , Tengxun sent heavy troops to fight in almost every field, and launched fierce attacks in every field. The areas that were conquered continued to build fortifications to make them indestructible; the areas that could not be conquered were occupied by acquisition or investment.
It can be said that Mr. Ma's methods in his previous life were no more merciful than Li Mu's.
Li Mu has always been particularly glad that he was reborn in 2001, not 2004 or 2005. If he had been reborn in 2005, Tengxun’s position in China would have been absolutely unshakable. At that time, with the seven or eight years of operation of Tengxun QQ , with the strength of the entire Tengxun ecological chain, no one product can beat it. Even if you develop a great product, you will not be able to shake the entire Tengxun. It is possible to steal a destroyer with a submarine. , but stealing one or even multiple complete aircraft carrier formations is simply a dream.
However, he was reborn in 2001, in an era when both companies were still fledgling. In this era, except for Baidu, Li Mu could not defeat any other domestic Internet company. Because frankly speaking, in 2001 Except for Baidu, which relies on technology to make a living, almost all domestic Internet companies are dividends of the times.
After hearing this, Leader Lei almost made a decision in his heart: "I think I may know how to make a choice. It would be easier to join Li Mu's camp!"
Leader Lei has now thought very clearly. As Mr. Ma said, Li Mu is now the most powerful product manager in China Internet. He is like the only one who has mastered all the correct routes when facing a complicated maze. People, when others are bumping into walls in the maze, unable to find a way out for a long time, or even dying in it, he can choose the only correct one at every intersection where he needs to make a decision, and then use the fastest speed to walk through the most correct path. route to the final exit.
He is a genius and a proud man. He proudly runs through every dangerous maze, large and small, without worrying about wrong paths or traps, nor does he care at all about those who die in the maze because they can't find a way out. .
His speed is so fast that it is useless for others to follow him. If he does not take the initiative to lead you, even if you follow him closely, he can suddenly disappear at the next intersection, leaving you to face the risk alone. There is only one way to follow him to the exit: join his team.
Mr. Ma asked him: "Mr. Lei, have you decided to join Li Mu's team?"
Leader Lei nodded: "I have always been interested in e-commerce, so I started Joyo.com. Now domestic e-commerce is dominated by Li Mu's Taobao. Li Mu invited me to join Taobao, which is also the most suitable platform for me. Yes, if the conditions are right, I am willing to join.”
Mr. Ma smiled and said, "Congratulations to you, Mr. Lei."
Leader Lei asked him: "What about you, what are your next plans?"
Mr. Ma said: "Isn't this looking for a new direction? The employer is willing to support me in doing a new project, but I have searched and searched, and to be honest, I have not found one that is really suitable for me."
At this point, Mr. Ma laughed at himself and said: "I feel like I haven't really adjusted my mentality yet. Whenever I want to conceive a new product, what comes to mind is Makino Technology."
Leader Lei asked: "How do you say this?"
Mr. Ma said: "Even if I have given up on the instant messaging software industry now, to be honest, I still prefer this field. I have devoted too much effort in this field and poured all my energy and greatest enthusiasm into it. For QQ, even though QQ is gone now, my passion is still there."
After a pause, Mr. Ma said a little sadly: "Mr. Lei, to be honest, Li Mu's YY is a perfect product in my eyes, and I am convinced after losing to it. And now I watch YY This software is like the feeling of a business racing driver who has given up his dream when watching an F1 car. After giving up racing, I can also drive a taxi, a truck or even a bus, but the top dream about racing in my heart has always been They’re all here…”
When Master Lei heard this, he felt his scalp numb. It was not because he thought Mr. Ma’s words were artificial, but because he felt that his words were too sincere, so sincere that they touched the part of his heart about dreams. He completely understood Mr. Ma’s thoughts. After being forced to give up this dream of being a racing driver, I saw the sadness of others racing in the F1 arena. The saddest dream is not that it is out of reach, but that I don't even have the chance to try.
At the moment, Mr. Ma can continue to do instant messaging, but he also knows in his heart that it is already too late. After Li Mu’s YY overthrew QQ, it quickly built a huge ecological closed loop at an extremely fast speed, or in other words, a huge The Internet Empire is not only constantly expanding its strength, but also watching the entire Chinese market with extreme vigilance. Once a competitor appears, it will immediately send out several, dozens, or hundreds of times the force of the opponent to crush it. If you continue to engage in instant messaging at this time, it is tantamount to seeking death.
Leader Lei sighed softly and asked Mr. Ma: "If one day Li Mu asks you to take charge of YY, will you be willing?"
Mr. Ma smiled and said: "Yes, why don't you want to? But this kind of thing is just a thought."
Leader Lei asked: "Why? Maybe there really is such an opportunity."
Mr. Ma shook his head: "Let's not talk about whether there is such a possibility. Even if I are really put in charge of YY, I'm afraid I won't be able to carry a structure as big as YY. What's more, when QQ was completely defeated by YY, Li Mu also You will definitely not recognize me.”
Leader Lei said: "That's not necessarily the case. If you have the chance, you can make some innuendo."
Mr. Ma laughed at himself: "Forget it, I'm living quite well now. If the next product avoids the coverage of Makino Technology and Taobao, there may still be a chance of success."
When Leader Lei heard this, he nodded slightly. He wanted to say that if he had a chance in the future, he could ask Li Mu for him, but when he thought about it, he had not joined Makino Technology now. It's too early, and secondly it's not appropriate.
However, for Leader Lei himself, he gained a lot from this visit to Shenzhen City to meet Mr. Ma. What Mr. Ma said made him truly realize how scary Li Mu is, and he also truly realized that joining Li Mu’s team has a bright future. These good things made him make a decision in his heart. After returning home, he would meet with Li Mu to talk about his joining Taobao.
If Li Mu gives him a broad position, salary and space, he can give up his position at Kingsoft and join Taobao without hesitation. As for Joyo.com, it is up to Kingsoft and Lenovo to decide whether they want to sell it or not.
