Under the gaze of hundreds of reporters, under the lens of hundreds of cameras, and amid thunderous applause, Li Mu stepped onto the stage at the press conference.
Elon Musk was one position behind Li Mu. After Li Mu took the stage and stood still for a few seconds, he stepped up and stood further back than Li Mu, because he knew very well that the protagonist today was Li Mu, not himself.
The flashlights under the stage flashed wildly for a while, and the shutter sounds continued one after another. Li Mu was in the center of everyone's sight, with a calm expression.
The host temporarily gave up the podium, and Li Mu stood in front of the stage, facing the microphone, while the audience continued to applaud.
Among the hundreds of media reporters present, 70% to 80% are domestic media reporters, and among those foreign media reporters, a considerable number are Chinese. For these Chinese journalists, Li Mu is their common heart. proud.
Almost no other Chinese entrepreneur has the influence of Li Mu, whether at home or abroad.
Domestically, Li Mu is a pride of the Internet, an educational philanthropist, and the pride of the Chinese people. Overseas, Li Mu represents the highest strength of the Chinese Internet. With product thinking that is so powerful that it is undoubtedly comparable, he has conquered the Internet with a strong sense of superiority purely by products. Developed country elites.
Today, the pride of the people of the country will announce another piece of world-class news. Everyone is waiting with a beating heart for Li Mu's personal announcement.
Li Mu waited for nearly two minutes before the applause gradually died down. When the entire venue fell silent, Li Mu took a deep breath, smiled at the microphone, and said in what he thought was his most magnetic voice: "Welcome everyone. "Today is a very important day for Makino Technology. There are many major events worthy of celebration happening. I feel that I cannot enjoy so many good things alone, so I invite everyone to come and share today's prosperity."
Li Mu's slightly joking opening remarks aroused constant applause and laughter from the audience. He shared the prosperity in one sentence and showed full confidence and courage while joking.
When the applause and laughter ended, Li Mu added: "Recently, our YY has achieved some achievements worth celebrating in overseas markets. Since overseas users began to spontaneously use YY, we have already had nearly 20 million registrations worldwide. There are over 10 million paying users in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea and other developed countries, and it has set a record of US$16 million in single-day recharges around the world."
The applause started again! Li Mu is not exaggerating about this data. These are data that have been reported by overseas media. The recharge flow rate was also revealed by PayPal on its own initiative. For a Chinese Internet company to achieve such results overseas, whether there are Chinese or foreigners present, They all admired me from the bottom of my heart.
At this time, Li Mu turned around and looked at Elon Musk, stretched out his right hand and pointed at him with five fingers together, and said: "Thank you Elon Musk, thank you PayPal. Without PayPal's support, YY would not have achieved such success." good grade."
As he said this, Li Mu took the lead in applauding, and the audience applauded again.
Elon Musk stretched out his hand slightly nervously, shook everyone, and bowed slightly to greet the reporters in the audience.
Li Mu continued at this time: "YY's achievements not only broke the Chinese Internet industry's overseas sales and revenue records, but also broke the payment record for free software value-added services in the U.S. market. Before this, there had never been a free software Tool software can earn 16 million U.S. dollars a day in the U.S. market. Even software in the U.S. has not reached this level! This is the greatest recognition and affirmation of YY from overseas users!"
Many reporters in the audience applauded vigorously, their palms turning red. Through Li Mu's seemingly understated introduction, a strong sense of national pride arose spontaneously in their hearts, and even gushed out!
YY is indeed a ground-breaking breakthrough for China's Internet industry. It has received huge recognition around the world and received countless praises on the Internet, and it itself is a complete Chinese local Internet product! 100% domestically produced! It’s even a product that’s so pure that it doesn’t even involve overseas capital! As Chinese people, everyone is naturally extremely proud.
Because of YY, when foreigners talk about the Chinese Internet, they no longer subconsciously curl their lips, shake their heads, and wave their hands. Instead, they give a thumbs up and sincerely praise the power of YY and the tremendous changes that YY has brought to them.
Li Mu picked up the small bottle of pure water on the podium and took a sip, and said: "We are all media reporters, and we know a lot of information very clearly. I think everyone must also know that YY has not invested a penny overseas until now. We have not spent a penny on advertising or promotion. The reason why we have achieved this result is entirely due to the spontaneous spread of users. So the first thing I want to officially announce today is: Makino Technology has established a US branch and is preparing to We will send our first batch of employees to the United States and officially start YY’s global development process with the United States as the starting point!”
Applause comes to mind! For these media reporters, Li Mu's words "officially launched YY's global development process" can be called an epoch-making new starting point for China's Internet industry!
Just like Cui Jian's ground-breaking sentence back then: "I used to ask endless questions!" Just like that, one sentence set off a new era!
Before this, no Chinese Internet company had the ability to say such a thing! Li Mu is the first, and he has the absolute strength and qualifications to say this!
"I believe this will be a new height for the development of Chinese Internet companies!"
"I believe this is definitely a milestone event in the history of China's Internet development!"
"I believe that it won't be long before YY will have 50 million, 100 million, 200 million or even more users around the world!"
"I believe that in the near future, YY will definitely become one of the most well-known software with the largest number of users in the world!"
Li Mu's voice became more and more generous and passionate, which immediately aroused the emotions of everyone at the press conference. Today, he officially announced the full launch of YY globalization, which was an extremely exciting moment for Chinese media reporters. According to the news, YY can reach this amazing point today just by relying on users’ spontaneous promotion. If Makino Technology launches global promotion, then YY will definitely take off again!
In the minds of all media reporters, YY is like an invincible army of kings, and its leader has just announced that his army of kings will officially attack the world starting today!
The atmosphere at the scene turned into a high-profile one. Not only were the applause thunderous and deafening, the reporters, who usually abide by the rules at press conferences, even started to cheer loudly. Some even whistled and shouted: "Li Muye is awesome! YY is awesome! Makino Technology is awesome! China Internet is awesome!”
This is not a press conference, this is simply a pyramid scheme brainwashing conference...
At this time, Li Mu changed the subject and invited Elon Musk to his side, saying: "Officially launching global promotion is just a sentence, but behind it it means that YY will build its own data centers in countries around the world in the future. , means that we have to dispatch our own employees and recruit a large number of foreign employees locally, which means huge investment of funds, manpower and material resources. It is like starting a protracted war. Makino Technology is fully improving its prerequisites for strength. Next, we also need global partners.”
Speaking of this, Li Mu pointed to Elon Musk and said: "We are very honored to establish a global strategic partnership with PayPal, which is run by Mr. Elon Musk. In the next time, Makino Technology will continue to work with PayPal is working together. In addition to cooperation at the business level, we have also confirmed cooperation at the capital level. This is the second thing I want to announce today!"
Everyone immediately sat up straight and stretched out their ears, waiting for Li Mu's next words.
As early as when Elon Musk first arrived in China, Li Mu and he told the media that Li Mu had plans to control PayPal, but Li Mu only called it a "plan" and there was no certainty yet, so everyone was collecting When I received the invitation for this conference, I realized that what Makino Technology was going to announce today should be its partnership with PayPal.
Li Mu smiled and said calmly: "We have reached a cooperation intention with the PayPal team. Makino Technology will acquire a certain share of PayPal in cash and become a shareholder of PayPal, including Mr. Elon Musk. The PayPal team will continue to hold some PayPal shares."
"I'm coming!"
"Finally it's time to talk about it!"
Everyone in the audience listened attentively, and they were so nervous that they didn't even dare to breathe.
Li Mu said: "Everyone must be very concerned about our shareholding ratio with the PayPal team. I have a video here from the United States, and we have also prepared a projector on site, so please watch this video first. .”
As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, the lights in the entire venue were turned off, and the window shades were lowered, so the entire venue immediately became dark. At this time, the curtain behind Li Mu began to light up and the projector was started.
Li Mu interrupted at this time and said: "I forgot to tell everyone that this video was also transmitted through YY's offline function."
There was a burst of laughter in the audience. Li Mu never forgot to promote his products anytime and anywhere.
A few seconds later, a middle-aged white American woman suddenly appeared on the screen, sitting at a large desk, facing the camera. Many people didn't remember who she was, but some people recognized her at a glance. Come.
Meg Whitman!
It turned out to be eBay CEO Meg Whitman!
Meg Whitman, who runs eBay with a market value of more than 10 billion US dollars and is rated as the world's most powerful female CEO!
This is almost the only female god in Silicon Valley!
At this time, Meg Whitman on the video screen smiled and waved to the camera and said in English: "Hello everyone, thank you very much for coming to attend Makino Technology's press conference. I am the CEO of eBay , Meg Whitman!”
When Meg Whitman spoke, there were real-time Chinese subtitles below, so everyone in the audience knew her identity and were stunned!
what's the situation? ! Meg Whitman sent a video to thank everyone for attending the Makino Technology Conference? What's the meaning
Didn't Li Mu just screwed eBay? eBay's stock price has also fallen a lot. These two days are big news in the industry!
Logically speaking, Meg Whitman and Li Mu should be mortal enemies, but now that Li Mu is holding a press conference, why would she record a video specifically to support Li Mu
