Chapter 1069 Continue to Heat Up!

As the Western media revealed more details of 3321, Li Mu's influence in the Western world has been unprecedentedly enhanced.

At the same time, far away in China, because Li Mu’s tossing abroad can be said to be earth-shattering and has a great positive impact, the domestic media and the public’s respect for Li Mu has also risen with the tide, and there is even an additional layer of Li Mu’s overseas support. China, and the pride of the Chinese in winning glory.

The domestic media's coverage of Li Mu can be described as overwhelming. Turn on the TV and change a few channels, and there must be someone reporting on Li Mu or news related to Li Mu, and the Chinese people are not bored at all, on the contrary, it means that they are not watching enough.

An extremely large amount of exposure has made Li Mu even though he is not in the country, but his influence has been rising rapidly, reaching a new height that has never been seen before.

The night before Li Mu started the second round of meetings with major capitals, he called Dong Ai, who was far away in Yanjing and was in charge of the entire 3321. On the phone, Li Mu explained that Dong Ai immediately began to prepare for his departure to the United States. At that time, she will arrange for a representative of the technical team of Muye Technology to go to the United States with her to meet with Lawrence to discuss the establishment of 3321. Since the American society is full of praise for 3321, let 3321 take root in the United States earlier.

The 3321 US station will be the first step for 3321 to go abroad. If its current operating concept can develop healthily in the United States, then it will basically have the ability to operate in all developed countries, as well as developing countries with relatively good economies. The possibility of smooth development and continuous expansion may make 3321 the world's largest educational charity project and the largest educational charity fund.

Dong Ai has been looking forward to this for a long time. After receiving the instructions from Li Mu, he immediately started to apply for visas for the core team of 3321. Because of the popularity of 3321 in the United States, the US embassy in China was very concerned about this. The process of introducing the project into the United States was given special attention. Almost at the same time when Li Mu contacted Dong Ai, the staff of the U.S. Embassy in China also contacted Dong Ai and offered to speed up the visa application for 3321 members.

Dong Ai's trip to the United States and the cooperation between 3321 and Harvard, Li Mu has no energy to do it himself. He believes in Dong Ai's ability. Since she can achieve the current scale of 3321 in the vast and complex China, then she must have Ability to do this well in America.

Li Mu himself did not participate in the second financing negotiation that followed. He completely handed over the negotiation to Ding Zhenglin, who was in charge of the financing negotiation. Talk to them again.

However, Li Mu's request to Ding Zhenglin was to bring the negotiation rhythm well, and to slow down the financing negotiation while firmly grasping the initiative.

Slowing down is to give Muye Technology more time to develop,

This wave of hormones is too fierce, and it will take a certain amount of time to digest it properly.

Ding Zhenglin commented that Li Mu's trip to Harvard was worth at least several billion dollars. Li Mu and the entire senior management of Muye Technology agreed with him.

Because of this wave of full assistance from the American media, the huge shock that Li Mu brought to Harvard and MIT students was amplified to the entire Western society. The result of this operation not only made Li Mu famous, but more importantly, It has brought about the vigorous development of YY.

In just a few days, the number of YY users overseas has increased several times. In the United States, where there are over 100 million netizens alone, more than 60 million people have downloaded and registered YY, and the whole of Europe has brought YY two more. Tens of millions of registered users, so that the number of users of the entire YY has exploded.

The surge in YY users has directly brought two major impacts to Muye Technology. The first is that the cash flow continues to rise. The payment rate of users in developed countries is very high, so the proportion of YY overseas users is also surprisingly high. , adding tens of millions of paying users in a few days, increasing the monthly turnover of Muye Technology by more than 100 million US dollars, and making money so fast that the world is stunned.

However, although the speed of cash inflow is very fast, the second major impact has further increased operating costs and the speed of capital outflow. This major impact is the surge in server and bandwidth requirements.

In the United States, Li Mu's team has been setting up servers in excess of demand, so the demand in the American market can be met relatively, but in the European market, this surge of users and demand has forced Li Mu to temporarily decide to advance the "Paradise" as a temporary decision. Small Town and Plants vs. Zombies in Europe have all prepared servers for YY, delaying the promotion of Paradise Town and Plants vs. Zombies in Europe.

All these servers were provided to YY, which barely allowed Muye Technology to withstand the huge demand in the European market.

At the same time, Li Mu was even more eager to raise funds.

At present, the operating cost of Muye Technology is too high. Although the revenue capacity is also very strong, the proportion of the part that can really be counted as net profit is very low. With the current profitability, it is basically impossible to expand rapidly.

Li Mu urgently needs more than 2 billion US dollars in cash, and quickly established Makino's own data processing centers in the United States and the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea and other countries. The data center was used to meet the needs of Makino and Li Mu All enterprises in their own system need to start to provide global cloud computing services in the middle and late stages.

The market for cloud computing services started late. Amazon AWS, which occupies more than half of the world's share, will start in 2006, so Li Mu still has time to accumulate his own talents, technologies and hardware. If he first builds his own data around the world Processing center, in this way, after another year or two, the successful IPO of Muye Technology will at least push Muye Technology to a market value of more than 80 billion US dollars, and the financing will easily reach a scale of more than 8 billion or even 10 billion US dollars. , by that time, with the money in his pocket, he will be the first to launch advanced cloud computing services to the world in 2004.

In Li Mu's heart, the blueprint for the future has already been constructed very well. Next, it depends on how he unfolds this grand blueprint step by step and presents it to the world.

...

After a few days of financing negotiations, the valuation of Muye Technology has been discussed at 26 billion US dollars. Ding Zhenglin's prediction is a prophecy. Only with the overall benefits brought by Li Mu's speech at Harvard, the market value of Muye Technology will be shortened in a short time. billions of dollars have surged.

This is the charm of the Internet industry. If you catch a flashpoint, any consultation and product may spread all over the world overnight!

The sharp increase in the valuation of Muye Technology mainly comes from three points: great social influence, crazy rising number of users, and doubling of platform turnover, each of which further promotes the valuation of Muye Technology It keeps climbing, and the speed of this climb makes American VCs terrified.

However, no one thinks that there is much moisture behind the rapidly rising valuation of Makino Technology, because the overall growth rate of YY is too fast.

A month ago, it was only a tool for American and Western elites to improve work efficiency, and the number of overseas users was only more than 10 million;

Immediately after the explosion of "Paradise Town", the game's influence spread to the entire American university community. It even absorbed a large number of preparatory users for YY in advance through the highest ranking list of US school flowers and the Thanksgiving global competition. And with the sudden outbreak of YY, these users were washed into their deep users by YY almost overnight, which is even more shocking than the most powerful magician in the world;

Then, Li Mu suddenly left Silicon Valley and went to Cambridge. Who would have thought that a speech that was originally only for Harvard students would become popular in the entire Western world!

The popularity this time made YY once again staged an earth-shattering super magic. Overnight, tens of millions of new users made this software quickly become the brightest star in the Internet industry.

It is precisely because of his terrifying operational capabilities that Li Mu has been dubbed the "Magician" by the Internet industry. The entire Internet industry has already admired him. Before him, no one believed that the means and speed of user acquisition could be so fast. level.

Stanford University, which has provided a large number of talents to Silicon Valley, even held a special class to study and analyze Li Mu's methods of operating YY. Several professors listed and analyzed each step of YY's development in the United States in detail, organized them into books, and then published them within the school. Disseminated in the form of photocopies.

Stanford University professors have a deep understanding of the Internet and a very high level, not to mention that this set of undisclosed "textbooks" was co-authored by several professors, so it has a very high gold content and is very difficult to be sought after by Stanford University students.

It is said that in just a few days, a copy of this book analyzing Makino Technology was made at Stanford, and businesses around Stanford University that can provide copying services are copying this internal teaching material almost non-stop.

This set of only 50 pages was targeted by the publisher, and the publisher even paid these professors high royalties in advance, just to let them find a way to write this textbook longer, so as to facilitate the publication of the material. Books and sell for a good price.

The book market in the United States is relatively developed, there are basically no pirated books, and the current stage of electronic reading is not developed, so the traditional publishing industry is still very hot, and the sales of any best-selling book may exceed one million copies. In this case, the manuscript fee that a best-selling book can bring to the author can reach millions of dollars, and these Stanford University professors have already received two dollars before the book is officially finished. $100,000 upfront payment.

This group of professors did not expect that they could get such high royalties by joining together to analyze Muye Technology and Li Mu's promotion methods, and they were only partially paid in advance, which gave them a huge motivation to calm them down. Write this internal textbook into a physical book ready for publication.

It is a relatively long process to change from an internal textbook to a book, but several professors and publishers have chosen the title of the book for future publication "Li Mu: Make the whole Silicon Valley tremble"
