Chapter 625

If Li Mu plays with Lai, ordinary people don't really see it.

Ding Zhenglin is silenced by a rhetorical question from Li Mu. Muye technology has never said anything about its own financing. All this news comes from xujiaming's Mingcheng capital. However, venture capital companies all know that Mingcheng capital and Muye technology are closely related. It's not only that the two sides have capital cooperation, but also that xujiaming and Li Mu have good private relations, So the message from Mingcheng capital was taken as official news by the group of venture capital companies that are hungry for Muye technology, without any doubt about its authenticity.

At this moment, Ding Zhenglin also realized that he had made a mistake. Since Li Mu didn't say that, he scolded Li Mu face to face. It's really not true.

After a long delay, Ding Zhenglin, embarrassed and ashamed, wiped a bead of sweat on his forehead and stammered, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I was just impulsive. I take back what I said. I hope your adults don't remember villains. I'm really sorry!"

Li Mu shook his head and smiled, saying, "I'm not as careful as you think. Sit down and talk."

Ding Zhenglin nodded his head in a hurry, and sat back in his seat with anxiety. He asked tentatively, "Mr. Li, since Muye technology is not ready to merge into round C, the purpose of your meeting with me is..."

Li Mu said with a smile, "today I asked you out, in fact, to have more direct communication with the professionals in the investment banking circle. Since the development of Muye technology, we have little contact with the real investment banking circle, or even no contact."

Ding Zhenglin nodded, but he was in a bad mood. He didn't plan to raise money. He asked me out to meet him. You contacted with people in the investment banking circle. How can I make a deal when I go back? Is it a misunderstanding? Muye technology is not ready to finance round C at all? I'm afraid the boss won't believe it at all. They prefer to believe that they have no ability to take this investment.

Seeing Ding Zhenglin's thoughtful appearance, Li Mu didn't answer, so he asked him with a smile, "Mr. Ding, in your opinion, what are the urgent needs for improvement in the financial operation of Muye technology?"

Ding Zhenglin put away his depression and said: "Mr. Li, Muye technology is now the most top Internet enterprise in China in terms of its magnitude. I work in a venture capital company, and I dare not comment on myself."

Li Mu said with a smile, "our scale is based on products, users and business models. We basically have no focus on financial operation. You are an expert in financial operation. I believe that in your eyes, there must be a lot to improve in Muye technology."

Ding Zhenglin hesitated for a moment, thinking that since Li Mu was not ready to talk about financing, he didn't have to be careful everywhere, so he reached out to unbutton the front of the suit, took off the suit, folded it carefully in half and then folded it on his leg. After finishing these actions, Ding Zhenglin took a long breath and said to Li Mu, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, it's too hot..."

Li Mu smiled unkindly, and Lin Qingya beside him also chuckled. Ding Zhenglin had no psychological burden. Facing Li Mu, he was more natural than at the beginning. He loosened his tie with one hand and said seriously on the face: "President Li, honestly, it is rare for a company of this scale like Muye technology to pay so little attention to financial operation. On the one hand, it is also a company to the outside On the one hand, Muye technology's own financial operation is very few, that is, two rounds of financing and one easy to hear technology split. On the other hand, there is no other action. Externally, at present, several companies with capital connection with Muye technology are all your own industries. Strictly speaking, Muye technology has no real external financial operation yet. "

Li Mu nodded and said seriously, "you are right, the attempt and operation of financial capital direction is really a relatively blank field of Muye technology."

Ding Zhenglin went on to say: "since the rise of Muye technology, the development speed of the Internet in China has increased significantly. There are many new companies and new business models. When we invest, we pay attention to the development of the Internet industry and look for potential investors. Not only we, but also several large Internet companies in the industry It has also been frequent in financial capital. Netease just acquired two online game development companies, Jinshan invested and acquired several security software development companies, Sina established or acquired several shell companies in order to do well in mobile value-added business, and everyone was not idle outside while doing their own business. However, there was little activity outside of Muye technology, as if except for There is no other action beyond the acquisition of hao123. "

Li Mu is deeply convinced of what Ding Zhenglin mentioned. From the establishment of Muye technology to now, he has only three questions in his mind: product, operation and revenue. His energy is almost exhausted by these three questions. He has no time and energy to investigate the overall development trend of the Internet at present, let alone to study what future cows there are Forced companies are still struggling in their early stages.

If we look at this problem from the perspective of Muye technology, investment and acquisition can quickly solve the problems of horizontal development and strategic layout for Muye technology. If Li Mu wants to make the game business bigger and stronger like Tengxun in the future, he can start to acquire the game development company. For example, Guo Li Mu wants to add a 360 security guard's security to the ecological closed-loop of Muye technology For full software, you can also directly purchase a company engaged in security software research and development, and then take its products over for secondary development, and you can quickly come up with mature products; if you want to add another download tool, you can directly purchase network ants or Internet Express.Li Mu's demand for financial operation is not only to register an offshore company, execute an offshore transaction, prepare for financing or even go public, but also to have a person who is good at spending money abroad, and who can take the company's business as the core and spend every cent on the blade. Once he starts to operate capital externally, he should have a precise vision and operation, The development speed of the company can be further improved.

The rise of Tengxun has a classic formula that many people love and hate. It's investment strategy. Its early rise depends on imitation. But after it has some strength, it has already disdained imitation. Imitation is too tired. And so many new models are born every day. It's just too busy to imitate. So the classic formula it really drives is financial capital operation In order to save time and energy, once there is a business or product that it is interested in, it will directly invest or acquire; if the other party refuses to invest or acquire, Tengxun also has its own complete response strategy, the first choice is to immediately switch to another company of the same type, give it money, give it resources, and let it quickly rise so as to kill the previously rejected company, such as If that doesn't work, do it yourself.

In the ten years since its establishment, Tengxun has invested in hundreds of companies, such as online literature, Didi taxi, Jingdong, Meili, Dianping, hungry, bilibilibili, and the era of micro film. In this way, Tengxun has more or less participated in and accounted for all the business lines of the whole network.

By 2016, if we want to find an internet field that Tengxun has not been involved in, it will be almost impossible. Tengxun also uses this way to maintain its diversified development. If we rely on Tengxun to expand our territory, it will not have the achievement of hundreds of billions of dollars in market value in the future. This shows the importance of financial capital operation.

Li Mu also realized that his energy is more and more difficult to cope with the diversified development of the Internet industry, so he urgently needs Ding Zhenglin, an expert with unique vision and high success rate, to join in. If someone like him is ready to make a start for himself, then all his energy will gradually be recovered from the major products. In the near future, it will be stable He won't care about the old business any more. After the stable development of the formed new business, it will be slowly handed over to other capable people. What he has to do in the next stage is to focus on the big strategic level and focus on the two products called YY and Taobao, which can be called nuclear reactor. As long as these two products remain strong, they can nourish countless kinds of products“ Internet factory ", once the era of mobile Internet comes, we will build the third nuclear reactor - wechat. Wechat is the era of mobile Internet and the era of data. Then we can start the fourth nuclear reactor - cloud computing business.

Once Li Mu starts these four nuclear reactors and makes them bigger and stronger, Li Mu can do everything in the Internet world.

Therefore, Li Mu did not beat around the Bush, but asked Ding Zhenglin seriously, "if I invite you to be the director of Investment Department of Muye technology, do you have any interest?"

Ding Zhenglin was stupefied. Seeing that Li Mu didn't speak for a long time, he finally realized what Li Mu meant in his obscure words at the beginning. He didn't stop for several stops before listing, but how many people would get on the train when listing. That's what he meant!

Ding Zhenglin didn't think about changing his job. He always felt that he was suitable for financial investment. As the most famous transnational VC, Sequoia is indeed an impeccable development platform. In front of Sequoia, a super financial giant, Muye technology still can't come to the stage, so Li Mu's proposal doesn't have real attraction for him.

Stunned for a moment, Ding Zhenglin seriously said: "Mr. Li, thank you for your appreciation, but I really have no intention of changing my job now."

Li Mu was not surprised by the answer, but asked him, "can you tell me why?"

Ding Zhenglin said: "Sequoia is a unique platform, and I think it can give full play to and realize my own aspirations under this platform."
