Boss Ma heard about the press conference before the afternoon meeting was over.
The Beijing-based reporter of the Zhejiang Provincial Television Current Affairs News attended the press conference and sent the press conference inquiries back to the provincial station immediately. A director of the news center had a close relationship with Boss Ma. With his strong sense of news, he realized that this time The press conference had a great impact on Boss Ma, so he had already called Boss Ma privately while the news was still being produced.
Boss Ma originally knew nothing about the press conference, because although the press conference had just ended, there was no live broadcast by the media. The media reporters present only sent the on-site inquiries back to the TV stations and newspapers, and then from the station and the press My colleagues immediately started editing and producing, the TV station was preparing to appear on tonight's evening news, and the newspaper office was preparing to write a special feature immediately to make the headlines of tomorrow's newspaper.
When the call came in, Boss Ma was assigning tasks to the team. Since Letao’s launch in September is irreversible, preparations must be made to the extreme in advance. When Boss Ma made half of his request, the phone in his pocket became cheerful. trembled.
Under normal circumstances, Boss Ma would not answer the phone during the meeting, but when he saw that the caller was the director of the Zhejiang Provincial News Center, he immediately said to everyone: "Wait for me for a while, I will go out and take a call."
The other party is a friend of the news outlet. He can be said to have eyes and ears in all directions. He intuitively told Boss Ma that this call made by this person at this time must be very important and must be answered!
After leaving the conference room, Boss Ma returned to his office. The first thing he said when he answered the phone was: "Director Chen, is there any latest news?"
The other party praised: "Old Ma, your nose is so sharp!"
Boss Ma said, "If you call me now, I won't be able to figure it out."
The other party hummed and said with some hesitation: "Lao Ma, um... the Economic and Trade Commission just held an impromptu press conference in Yanjing."
"Oh?" Boss Ma immediately asked: "What did you say at the press conference?"
The other party said: "Minister Zhen gave Li Mu a big gift. After tonight, Li Mu will definitely have another golden body."
Boss Ma's heart skipped a beat, and his voice suddenly rose an octave: "What's going on?"
At the general press conference, Minister Zhen briefly recounted what Li Mu had said.
After saying this, Boss Ma suddenly felt cold in his heart.
I had just said at the meeting that the Economic and Trade Committee would definitely take all the credit and would not give a tiny bit of credit to Li Mu. Unexpectedly, when I turned around, the Economic and Trade Committee gave almost all the credit to Li Mu, conveying a few words. A very clear meaning:
First of all, the origin of the "Internet into Homes" policy was because Li Mu made this request to Minister Zhen, and Li Mu was the core initiator;
Secondly, it was Li Mu who took it as his own responsibility to promote the development of the domestic Internet and lead domestic Internet companies to take off, and actively promoted the promulgation of this policy;
Again, it was Li Mu’s persistence that impressed the Economic and Trade Committee, which prompted the Economic and Trade Committee to coordinate such a huge favorable policy. It can be said that Li Mu fought for all this for the entire industry.
Strictly speaking, Li Mu has one gold body and three silver bodies. Gold here does not represent wealth, but unshakable status and influence. Therefore, his only gold body is 3321. The reason is that 3321's social status is extremely high. Gao, Li Mu's role in 3321 is absolutely noble and has a strong sense of social responsibility. It is he who built the country's largest O2O platform and the country's largest sharing economy platform, but he does not make a penny to support himself. Helping poor college students and helping poor middle school students, this social status is so high that it is even the only highest point in the Chinese charity world;
Silver represents wealth. The three silver statues of Li Mu are: Makino Technology, Taobao and Alipay. Behind each silver statue represents huge wealth and the possibility of creating wealth.
Now, the Economic and Trade Commission has created a second golden statue for Li Mu in front of the mainstream media across the country. This second golden statue is naturally his noble sentiments of seeking benefits for the people of the country and the entire Internet industry. People who can afford computers and those who cannot afford them will definitely be grateful for Li Mu's efforts on their behalf.
The future of the entire Internet industry has instantly opened up a new world because of this favorable policy. The government's attitude of actively promoting the development of the Internet can stimulate the excitement of the industry more than the national team rescuing the market in a bear market, and has a positive impact on most Internet industries. For companies and practitioners, it is not important how many personal computers this favorable policy will increase, nor how many Internet users will be added. What is important? The important thing is that as soon as this policy comes out, the Internet industry will immediately become hot. Not only will practitioners have higher hopes for China's Internet industry, but capital will also have greater confidence in China's Internet industry.
Once capital has confidence, this industry will become the object of crazy pursuit of capital, and the spring of the industry will truly come, and this wave of spring of the industry, whether now or in the future, will be remembered in Li Mu's head for ten years. Later, when the Internet industry talks about the spring of China's Internet industry in the second half of 2002, Li Mu will definitely be mentioned.
One person has influenced the entire industry and brought the power of the national team and huge good news to the entire industry. Isn't this Li Mu's second golden statue
Boss Ma was particularly depressed.
It's nothing to make mistakes in judgment and slap yourself in the face. Sadly, the enemy is constantly improving across realms, and the gap between you and him is getting wider and wider. This feeling of desperately pursuing but only seeing the opponent go further and further away, is really This is what makes him, a man with extremely high pursuits and ambitions, lament in his heart.
After hanging up the phone, Boss Ma sat alone in the office, thinking absentmindedly about the future of himself, Alibaba and even Letao. He almost forgot that there was a group of people waiting for him in the conference room not far away for a meeting.
More than ten minutes later, Cai Chongxin came over on his own initiative. After knocking on the door, he found Boss Ma sitting in a daze on his chair and whispered, "Mr. Ma, everyone is still waiting for you to have a meeting."
Boss Ma finally came to his senses and suddenly realized that he had forgotten the fact that everyone was still waiting for him to start the meeting.
With a sigh of shame, Boss Ma said: "Go and host it and lead everyone to discuss in detail the preparations for Letao's launch. I will be alone for a while."
Cai Chongxin didn't know what happened, but he guessed that it must be bad news, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take everyone to continue the meeting."
…
When major TV stations are actively preparing news content, the spring of China's Internet industry has really arrived!
All practitioners have paid attention to the benefits of the "Internet into the Home" policy, and everyone understands that this policy will definitely be a cross-generational development for the development of China's Internet industry.
From the time the Internet industry entered the country until now, the biggest benefit the industry has received is that in high-tech industrial zones like Yanjing Zhongguancun, the local government has given certain policy preferences at the enterprise level. This is already the greatest strength the government has given.
However, the current favorable policies are formulated nationwide for all people, and reflect the government's emphasis on this industry. This is definitely the starting point for the entire industry to take off!
At this moment, not only the Internet industry is going crazy, but also venture capital institutions are going crazy. Things in many industries have undergone earth-shaking changes in an instant.
The most direct example is: An Internet company in Yanjing was still negotiating a financing worth 10 million yesterday, but the capital side has been hesitant. They are conservative and hope to lower the valuation and use 8 million or even less money. To solve the problem, however, the government suddenly stood up today and showed its attitude of vigorously promoting the development of the industry. That capital also immediately realized that the spring of the industry is coming soon. If they don’t invest quickly at this time, when the popularity continues to rise, the price may I can't take it anymore.
Therefore, the capital immediately communicated with the company, hoping to sign an agreement immediately with an amount of 10 million. However, unexpectedly, the founder of the company rejected the other party's investment intention without hesitation.
Sorry, we have to think about it again.
Why did you sell it yesterday but consider it today? Just like the stock market, yesterday the market was sluggish and the prospects were confusing. There was an idea of selling at a low price. However, today the national team actually used money and policies to rescue the market. It raised the first daily limit. The national team did not lead a single move. Who is willing to sell before the market continues to wave? Even if it is sold, it must be given a higher valuation.
The entire industry is rising, and even the valuation of Makino Technology is rising with it.
SoftBank was anxious and immediately sent representatives to contact them, hoping to meet and discuss as soon as possible; Sequoia was also anxious and proactively requested a new quote, fearing that Makino Technology would give up on them.
Ding Zhenglin immediately contacted Li Mu and informed Li Mu of the current trends in the Internet industry and the capital circle. At the same time, he excitedly said to Li Mu: "This time, we are sure to raise the valuation of Makino Technology sharply! Capital confidence is sufficient. , the premium is higher, and I am confident that the post-split Makino Technology will be valued at at least 18 billion!"
Li Mu was stunned when he heard this.
This result was something Li Mu had never thought of before. He was dedicated to promoting the development of the industry faster, making the domestic Internet market mature earlier, producing more awesome products earlier, and catching up with the pace of the world's advanced countries earlier, but he did not Thinking about it, a huge industry benefit is equivalent to giving the entire industry a shot of adrenaline, so that the prospects, future and valuation of the entire industry are rising.
After being shocked, Li Mu gave Ding Zhenglin enough personal authority: "Whether it's 18 billion or 28 billion, just talk freely and talk to the extreme you can, and then let me take over. "
Ding Zhenglin was greatly encouraged and immediately said: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, leave it to me."
As soon as the phone hung up, Li Mu began to make mental calculations. The current pre-financing valuation was being driven up by the favorable market conditions, which meant that selling 10% of the shares in the C round of financing could be exchanged for higher funds.
Once the C round of financing is completed and the capital funds are received, the company's overall strength and cash reserves will be further improved, and the company's valuation can continue to be raised to a higher level, with a market value of more than three billion US dollars, going to North America. The market development will be tenable. Coupled with the support of capital with strong local resources, the next step of YY's globalization will be unstoppable.
Just as he was thinking about it, Chen Wan called and said excitedly: "My dear, tonight you will become famous all over the country again!"
