Chapter 845

Venture capital is really crazy.

For such a long time, everyone has heard all kinds of anecdotes about Muye technology and Li Mu. Many people have said firmly: "don't think about it. Muye technology won't be integrated into round C. Li Mu has said for a long time that his goal is to go public directly after round B."

There is no doubt about this remark.

No way, Li Mu is such a strange bully, everyone has been tortured by him to re-establish a new three outlooks.

Although the venture capital circle felt particularly frustrated at not being able to get a foot in the technology of Muye, when we thought about it, everyone was out of the game, so it was balanced.

However, no one thought that it was such a fierce bull that suddenly repented.

Li Mu held a meeting at the core level of Muye science and technology. The first thing he said was to melt round C. This made the big guys in the venture capital circle hate to block up the door of Li Mu's office with money. As soon as he came out, he took out a check and asked, "Sir, how much do you want?"

Li Mu's subsequent attitude is also intriguing. He has no other attitude of financing enterprises, no plan to visit investors, let alone visit investors. He is not even willing to meet any investors directly. Moreover, he asked the people in charge of capital operation to come out and sent a message to the venture capital circle: he is interested in investing in the C round of Makino technology, with price Come on.

This attitude is too arrogant. Who is not fawning on the financing side? At present, most of the Internet industry in China takes overseas capital. How does this capital come from? Which one is not to beg grandpa to sue grandma, clap chest to brag to force to get? Li Mu's preference is No. neither round a nor round B has been too low for any management. Now round C is more high-profile.

However, there's no way. Since Muye technology killed Tengxun QQ, the Internet in China is a unique existence. In this age when everyone urinates and muds, Li Mu has played with the mature concept of Internet Ecological closed-loop. As the saying goes, single silk can't be made into a thread. When the Internet enterprises are still making single silk, Li Mu has made steel wire rope The sky is full of sand.

As soon as the news of Muye technology's round C integration came out, the venture capital industry immediately announced that it was going to work overtime for 24 hours. Now, if you want to invest in Muye technology, it's like bidding, you have to study the specific materials of the other party, and then come up with your own bidding document. The most important thing is the bidding price, which is too critical. If the quotation is covered by other companies, it will basically say goodbye to Muye technology.

Just as the whole venture capital industry was preparing, Lei jiaozhu was at a loss.

The influence of the beast, Muye technology, is so great that it can affect the whole industry with a little action, which makes him feel extremely uneasy.

He began to think about his current business layout. There was not much space for software business. The game business was supposed to have imagination space. But Li Mu suddenly killed and poached his core team in the game business, which means that the overall progress of the game business will be greatly affected. In addition, the more important thing is not that the core team of Xishanju was poached, but that in the game business Wild technology digs into their move.

Why does Muye technology want to dig people living in western mountains? I'm sure I'll make my own game.

Now this enterprise has a strong YY ecological chain. If it really wants to play games, the game industry in the industry should be unparalleled. In that way, how to position the next game business in Jinshan? Do you want to continue to recruit people to join the team or disband on the spot?

If we continue to build a team, we will continue to recruit, trial and error, break in, form a team's combat effectiveness, and then concentrate on development. The whole pace is too slow, and the investment is not small. When our own online games come out, maybe the online games of Muye technology are also online. What should we do then? What's the comparison with Makino technology?

If it is disbanded on the spot, what else can I do? Xishan no longer lives; excellence is either dead or not, but it can't stay; there is still Jinshan software, how to play?

Last time when I saw Li Mu, he said that he didn't like Jinshan, but more about himself. Does that mean that he is also ready to kill software and other software? In that case, where should Jinshan go in the future?

What's most incomprehensible is that the speed of Li Mu's cattle products is faster than that of sausage making. Every product is so cattle, and the development interval is very short. In the future, if we really want to fight against Jinshan, what can Jinshan compete with him?

Thinking of this problem, Lei felt a little desperate and began to think about Li Mu's invitation.

At present, two of Jinshan's three businesses have been abandoned by Li Mu. The prospect is worrying. The so-called good birds choose trees to live in. If Jinshan's development can't be guaranteed, it's better to accept Li Mu's invitation and join his camp.

Then, Lord Lei thought of a man.

Mr. Ma, the founder of Tengxun.

He and Ma always have a lot of intersection. At the earliest time, Ma just started his business and tried to find financing. At that time, Lei didn't like his mode. But when Tengxun QQ users started to count, he also regretted for a moment. But then Li Mu appeared, which made him feel lucky. It seems that his vision is still accurate. If he can't, he really can't do it ...

The reason why the leader of Lei cult thinks of Mr. Ma at this time is that he thinks that Mr. Ma should be one of the people who know Li Mu best. After all, he once competed so fiercely with him. He even thought that he would crush Li Mu, the newborn calf, completely. But unexpectedly, the war situation was overturned overnight. In turn, Li Mu crushed QQ to the point of stopping maintenance.Before making a final decision, Lei would like to talk to Mr. Ma and ask him what he thinks about Li Mu, about Muye technology or the future of taobao.com.

Coincidentally, I happened to be in Zhushi, across the sea from the Shenzhen where Mr. Ma is, and I could arrive in an hour by boat.

So the master Lei found someone to call Mr. Ma's cell phone number and gave him a call.

Since QQ stopped maintenance, Mr. Ma has been researching new products. The field of instant messaging is dominated by Muye technology. He also resolutely gave up the category of instant messaging. Later, for a long time, he was dealing with the capital problem of Tengxun company. After a long time, he managed to clear his mind and entered a continuous downturn stage. Before that, he tried to develop other products, But it has not adjusted its state, nor selected a good field and direction.

Suddenly I got a call from master Lei, and he was quite surprised. Master Lei's position in the industry has always been much higher than him. He tried to catch up with him, and almost wanted to catch up with him, but he didn't expect to kill a Li Mu halfway.

Now, Ma always feels that he has a big gap with Lei. Unexpectedly, he would call himself.

"Master Lei came up and asked," Mr. Ma, I haven't seen you for a long time. What are you doing recently

Mr. Ma said: "I haven't seen Mr. Lei for a long time. I haven't done anything recently. I want to find a new product idea and I'm still thinking about it."

"You are still in Shenzhen now?" asked the Archbishop Lei

"Yes, always."

"It's just that I'm in Zhushi. I'm not far from you. I've finished my work. I want to ask if you have time. If so, I'll meet you in Shenzhen."

As soon as Ma heard this, he immediately said, "when will you come here when you have time?"

Lord Lei looked at the time and said, "well, I'll go by boat later. Give me an address. I'll try to get there before six, and then we'll have dinner together."

"OK, Mr. Lei, I'll send the address to your mobile phone."

……

Lei took a boat from Zhushi alone. He had arrived in Shenzhen in more than an hour. Although Mr. Ma left an address for him, considering that he was a big man in the industry, he went to the wharf to meet him.

After the meeting, Mr. Ma took a taxi with Mr. Lei to find a good Chaoshan restaurant in Shannan District. After they sat down, they ordered some food and chatted casually.

Master Lei wants to drink a few drinks with Ma Zong. Ma Zong hesitates a little and agrees.

After three rounds of drinking, both of them are a little drunk, and chatting is more casual.

Mr. Ma asked master Lei, "you should go to Xishan to live in Zhushi, right?"

Mr. Ma is very familiar with the Internet industry. He knows that there is a game studio called Xishanju in Jinshan, and it is in Zhushi.

Leijiao master smiled and nodded, then sighed: "the core development team of Xishanju is completely destroyed by Muye technology."

"Muye technology?" General Ma's expression suddenly became more complicated. A moment later, he exclaimed, "Li Mu is going to play a game!"

"Lei jiaozhu nodded and said:" yes, they have such a good foundation. If there are good games, the domestic online game market will change greatly

Mr. Ma said with a wry smile: "no way, this is the effect of high viscosity user group. YY's user viscosity is too high, and its conversion rate is also high. In theory, no matter what Internet products he does, he has a foundation compared with other companies, and starts at more than one level."

Lord Lei smacked his lips and asked Mr. Ma, "how powerful do you think Li Mu is? How long can his momentum of destruction last? "

Ma always hears this problem, takes off his glasses and rubs his eyes. He hasn't spoken for a long time. Then, he sighs and says, "I'm from a technical background. I can say responsibly that Li Mu is an abnormal Internet genius. CCTV says that he's an Internet arrogant. That's not too much."

"How do you say that?" the leader asked

Mr. Ma started: "I'm the best example. How good QQ is! Nearly 100 million registered users and tens of millions of actual users. At that time, tens of millions of Internet users in China almost had two QQ numbers on average. But because they couldn't see through Li Mu's routine, they were dragged down by him and then a counterattack took place. The war took a round, and QQ was completely defeated."

"Is it because of Li Mu's happy farm that QQ failed?" Lei asked? I don't know that product very well. It's so powerful. "

Ma always shakes his head: "don't be angry when I say something."

The leader of Lei sect nodded: "please say."

Mr. Ma said: "only those who can't see through can think that QQ has been defeated by happy farm, but it's not the case at all. Li Mu originally took happy farm to cultivate user contacts in his product system. As you know, the most important thing about social networking is contacts, especially social software. But happy farm is really a magic game. It's a magic game It's a product that urges users to continue to try their best to add friends, so after a period of operation of happy farm, the user's personal relationship in it has nearly doubled that of QQ. ""At that time, there was a statistical result that the number of friends per capita of QQ registered users was 82," said Ma. "But the number of friends per capita of happy farm registered users exceeded 200..."

"So the main reason is happy farm," said Lei

"No." Mr. Ma shook his head and said: "no matter how strong the user network of happy farm is, it's a game, QQ is instant messaging software, there's no direct competition between the two sides, QQ won't fail directly. The reason why QQ fails is that it fails to YY. When YY was just put forward, its overall quality was so powerful that it was one era ahead of me. The interface design exceeds QQ too much, and the user experience is not a level thing. What's more, the new product functions are amazing. The most killer is YY group, which is fatal to QQ. "

"Did you know that on the night of YY's launch, the user network of happy farm was directly transplanted to YY, and the YY group immediately burst into flames. A maintenance supervisor of our company heard that his ex girlfriend was in Yanjing that night, and bought a train ticket to Yanjing that night. Later, he heard that he also joined in the technology of Muye. You said that YY, a product that leads QQ in all aspects After the line, zero threshold transplants the contacts accumulated by users in happy farm. How can I support all-round rolling of QQ? What's more, I realized later that I didn't fully understand Li Mu's real purpose of making happy farm until YY went online. Happy farm is the product he developed to defeat me. Before YY went online, it played a role of surreptitious. "

It's just dawned on Lei that he hasn't paid much attention to the field of instant messaging. Today, he's the first time to hear about the details.

At this time, the master of Lei also sighed: "this young man is really not simple Any software developed by Jinshan is a time-consuming and labor-consuming project, which starts every year. Li Mu has produced many products in more than one year. I can't imagine how he realized it. "

Mr. Ma laughed at himself and said: "before most companies want to develop a software, they first need to set up a project, then the product department should come up with a framework and a demand. After the whole demand is determined, the design department is responsible for visual presentation, and the technology development department should think about how to solve every demand of the product Please, this kind of thing is far from a successful one. It needs constant trial and error, constant test. If it's wrong, it needs to be pushed over again. "

"When technology and testing use the power of nine cows and two tigers to finally solve all kinds of requirements, the product may suddenly change requirements or put forward new requirements, so they have to redevelop, test, and so on."

"In addition, the technical development also faces the pressure of overall operation. Where there is bug, where there is incompatibility, which section of code is too cumbersome. When encountering bug, it will solve, when encountering incompatibility, it will debug, when encountering cumbersome, it will try to simplify, so repeatedly."

"Because of this, the development cycle is very long, but it's not in Li Mu's place. His development team is so efficient that it can't be imagined. Our ordinary enterprises do development, which is equivalent to walking thousands of kilometers and often taking the wrong road and detours. In Li Mu's place, they always fly directly to the destination."

As a real developer, Mr. Ma knows that in the process of developing a product, most of his energy is in trial and error correction, which is why there will be a lot of hot jokes about software development posts on the network of later generations.

For example, design always wants to cut down product managers and project managers who constantly put forward new opinions on their works;

for example, technology always wants to cut down product managers, because they always change their needs temporarily after their own development, making their previous work become idle work;

for example, a kitchen knife is always placed next to the technology keyboard as a product When he came to change the demand, the technology either directly cut him off, or put the knife on his neck, and asked him, "you say, is this the last time that his mother changes the demand?"

Knowing how serious the internal friction is, Ma Zong really devoted himself to Li Mu.

Lei didn't have a deep understanding of technology, but hearing how highly he praised Li Mu's efficiency, he couldn't help asking him, "how does Li Mu's company achieve such high development efficiency?"

Mr. Ma sighed and said, "I used to be curious, so I asked about it later. Later, I learned that the process of product development in Muye technology and Taobao is totally different from that of other companies."

"What do you mean?" he asked

Mr. Ma said: "other companies rely on touch, discussion, research and try. But in Muye technology and Taobao, Li Mu is the only product manager. He always gives the product structure and then gives the most direct orders to all departments: design, how do you do it; technology, how do you do it; support, how do you do it. Everyone will follow what he said after hearing it clearly Just do it, and the most important thing is that as long as you do what he says, you will be able to do it. This is the most frightening place for him. His sensitivity to the product and the accuracy of the control are simply amazing. What is genius? "Lei said with a thump in his heart, "how powerful is it?"

Ma always shrugs his shoulders and says with a wry smile, "it's just so powerful."
