If any industry wants to develop rapidly, it needs a powerful disruptor, like Li Mu, who rushes into an industry with devastating strength, disrupts the existing structure of the industry, and then forces the industry to reintegrate.
Before this, the domestic security monitoring field was fragmented. Whether it was front-end companies, middle-end companies, or back-end companies, everyone just wanted to do their own thing. Those who built cameras only wanted to build cameras and do decoding. They only think about decoding, transmission and storage, so that any manufacturer's products are a certain component of the security monitoring system, so that most users must integrate through intermediate service providers. , even if the middleman provides a poor solution, users can only accept it and have no other choice.
In the terminal retail market, because manufacturers rarely go directly to customers, there are also service providers interfering in the middle. These people are like black-hearted machine dealers, and the solutions they have created are not only There are a lot of tricks, and the price gap is huge and full of problems.
However, consumers and enterprises and institutions with corresponding needs have no solution for a while. There is no company on the market that can directly provide a complete set of mature, stable, reliable and transparent solutions. Therefore, Li Mu feels that at this time Whoever solves user needs first will seize the opportunity.
In Li Mu's view, the security monitoring field now has a good opportunity to become a giant. Precisely because the industry is not big and the visible profits in the market space are not sufficient, it is not yet enough to spawn a giant that can connect all links. Now, this The giant has already taken shape. In the future, Makino Nuctech will become China's first overall security monitoring solution provider.
Li Mu hopes that Makino Vision will complete the registration as soon as possible, then sign a contract with Hikvision, and then acquire Guang'an Surveillance, and finally integrate the team and put it in Shenzhen City for them to incubate, so he specifically asked Ding Zhenglin to set up a special The task force is fully responsible for the preparation and capital operation of Makino Nuctech.
Acquiring hardware manufacturers is relatively simple. Based on the size of the company, production and sales, revenue data, and fixed assets, and then giving a certain premium, you can sell an approximate price, and most of the other parties will not refuse. There is no so-called concept in Internet companies. and bubble problems, coupled with the fact that the security monitoring market has not yet started, hardware manufacturers in this industry are not having an easy time.
…
Having just set the thinking and tone of Makino Vision, Makino Technology and Taobao have also entered a new critical stage.
A few days after returning from the National Day holiday, Lin Qingya sent good news to Li Mu. The U.S. Embassy had applied for business visas to the United States for all employees of Makino Technology. The visa approval rate reached 100%, which meant that , Makino Technology's expeditionary force, which has been gearing up for a long time, has made all the preparations before the army sets off and is ready for the expedition to North America.
Hearing the news, Li Mu was immediately overjoyed!
Without a visa, it is impossible to send a large number of employees to work in the United States, which will have a great impact on the efficiency of overseas expansion. Once the visa is obtained, Makino Technology can put a large number of its own talents into the U.S. market at any time.
YY has developed rapidly in the elite class of overseas markets, but it has always lacked a good breakthrough point for YY to break out from the elite class to all netizen user groups.
As soon as Lin Qingya said that the visa issue was settled, Li Mu immediately got excited and summoned all the core staff for a meeting.
As soon as everyone arrived, Li Mu excitedly informed everyone of the good news that the visas had been obtained, and then said: "We have been waiting for so long just to wait for this batch of visas. Now that the visas have been issued, our overseas actions must be followed immediately. On."
As soon as Li Mu said that overseas actions should be followed immediately, the others immediately became gearing up and eager to try.
Since YY unexpectedly became popular among overseas elites, all employees of Makino Technology have been looking forward to YY's better performance overseas. Although YY has been performing well in overseas markets, the Makino Technology team cannot find a sense of accomplishment at all.
YY's overseas development has always been based on the "drifting bottle" model. Where this drifting bottle will go and who will see it all depends on nature and luck. The company wants to send more people to the United States, but visa issues are a problem. There is an insurmountable gap, so that everyone could only watch movies in China before.
Li Mu has always had a strong desire to control product development, but this feeling of being completely powerless and having to sit back and watch his own development is very painful for Li Mu, so he has been waiting for a visa. Once the visa is obtained, he will Quickly airdrop the team to the United States and get them into state in the shortest possible time.
Out of this mentality, Li Mu said to the core members present: "We now have two urgent needs for overseas markets. One is to build Makino Technology's data center overseas to prepare for the blowout in overseas markets in advance; the other is " The overseas version of "Happy Farm", which is also the overseas promotion of "Paradise Town", has previously asked everyone to prepare a team to work in the United States. The leaders can start preparations after today's meeting, so that everyone can prepare to go to the United States as soon as possible. "
No domestic Internet company has yet tried to establish a data center in the United States, because currently domestic Internet companies are rarely able to expand the U.S. market and users. However, for Makino Technology, this need is already very urgent. .
Although the population base of the United States is several times worse than that of China, their number of Internet users is very large. They are still the largest group of Internet users in the world. Therefore, before conquering the United States or even the entire North American market, Makino Technology must first establish its own data center. to carry the huge traffic demand in the future.
As for "Paradise Town", Li Mu's trump card for conquering the overseas market, the development of the PC version of "Paradise Town" has been completed and is just waiting to show off in the U.S. market. Now that the visa issue has been resolved, he can go to the United States to play "Paradise Town" The promotion is imminent.
"Paradise Town" will be Makino Technology's first initiative in overseas markets. Li Mu has great confidence in it. In addition, his own magically modified version of "Plants vs. Zombies" has also entered the mid-stage of development. , since the game itself is not a big production and can only be regarded as a small game, the development cycle will not be too long.
Once "Paradise Town" starts promoting in overseas markets, it won't take long for "Plants vs. Zombies" to follow. With these two games in hand, Li Mu is very confident about YY's overseas promotion. As long as these two games are available, If a game becomes popular, it will definitely attract a large number of users to YY, and YY itself is also a very powerful product. Once users are attracted, there is basically no need to doubt the retention issue.
Kong Lingyu asked Li Mu: "Boss, when will our employees officially go to the United States to start work?"
Li Mu replied with four words: "The sooner the better!"
Kong Lingyu said: "Then starting from today, we will give you one week to prepare, and we will leave for the United States in one week."
Li Mu nodded and said, "The first batch of employees to go to the United States has been decided a long time ago, and everyone should have made corresponding preparations. Giving everyone another week to make preparations before departure should be enough."
With that said, Li Mu said to Lin Qingya: "Qingya, in addition to the team building the data center and the team promoting "Paradise Town", you should also have a team responsible for the preparation and recruitment of the Silicon Valley branch to go over, right?"
Lin Qingya immediately said: "Mr. Li, this time I will personally go over to take charge of the preparation and recruitment of the branch. The HR team has eight people, two translators, and six assistants, who are responsible for providing food, clothing, housing and transportation for all our employees who go to the United States. There are problems in the area, so I have to go there in advance this time, and our support team will set off first within the next three days."
Li Mu nodded and said, "Then you should leave as soon as possible, arrange food, clothing, housing and transportation for everyone in the United States, and make all preparations in advance. When everyone arrives, everyone can start working directly."
"In addition, we have nearly a hundred employees going to the United States this time. In addition to various office equipment and daily necessities, it is best to focus on purchasing some domestic food for everyone to take with them. In my opinion, it is better to communicate with Air China directly. , charter a plane for our large force to go to the United States."
Commercial Director Ding Jian immediately said happily: "Good charter flight! Mr. Li, chartering a flight to the United States will not only improve the happiness of our employees going to the United States, but also greatly improve the fighting spirit of this group of employees going to the United States. It can even be used to Make promotional materials! There are almost no domestic Internet companies that can actually develop their business in the United States, let alone anyone who can send hundreds of employees to the U.S. market like us. When the time comes, we, Makino Technology, will charter flights to send hundreds of employees to work in the United States. , which in itself is also a news point worthy of being hyped!”
Ding Jian’s words were recognized by everyone present. Even Fang Xudong, a technology guru born in Silicon Valley, nodded repeatedly and said: “We chartered a flight to send hundreds of employees to the United States to carry out overseas business in one go. This is absolutely unprecedented and unprecedented in the domestic Internet industry. When the time comes, we will hold a farewell party, just like we send off Olympic athletes to compete abroad, and send off our staff to compete in the United States. This will definitely give a great boost to our company's reputation, and it will not only enhance the company's Reputation can also give the entire Chinese Internet a shot in the arm."
Fang Xudong’s words were astonishing. At first, everyone could not imagine how much morale and fighting spirit would be improved by chartering a flight to the United States. But when he compared it to the Olympic athletes, everyone immediately understood that it felt like sending someone to the United States. It's like a soldier going out to war, with great momentum and excitement.
At the same time, this sense of grand ceremony can also make every employee who goes to the United States on behalf of Makino Technology understand that what they shoulder is not only the mission of strengthening Makino Technology, but also the mission of adding glory to China Internet.
There is a long way to go to win glory for the country.
