The first report in China Ben.Clarkson That article is the morning news of CCTV.

In the morning news broadcast at 7 o'clock, CCTV reported the sudden popularity of YY overseas under the title of "Chinese Internet products are highly sought after by elite groups in the United States".

There is no doubt that CCTV is the news media with the highest news sensitivity in China and the most timely access to global information. They can get all kinds of information first step by step from other domestic media. Moreover, there are foreign journalists in all countries in the world, completely free from the influence of time zone and time difference.

CCTV reported that it introduced the popularity of YY overseas, and Ben.Clarkson This is the most authoritative science and technology magazine in Silicon Valley. This is called Ben.Clarkson He is also one of the three most famous and powerful editors of the magazine.

CCTV news, the overall sense of rhythm is really very powerful, after the first two steps, the rhythm has been brought up, and then immediately through the rising data, the good reputation of various website forums, further consolidate the fact that YY has become popular overseas, and directly highlight the purpose of "YY is very powerful overseas, even for the country" that the new news is about to convey To the best.

In this, CCTV excerpted a large number of overseas forums' comments on Muye technology, and attached a Chinese translation to the original English comments. These comments listed in a row immediately inspired the national pride of the audience.

For example:

"YY is absolutely the best Internet product in the 21st century. Its appearance has changed the whole office pattern!"

"Hey, arrogant Microsoft is finally being slapped! For a long time, numerous MSN users have protested to Microsoft, hoping that they can improve the crap like software, but they have been indifferent. Now, YY from China has dumped it for more than 100 streets, slapping Microsoft hard in the face! "

"My God! This product is really great. As an HR, I need to send and receive a lot of emails every day and keep close contact with people in every department of the company. I need to send and receive all kinds of documents. This product has brought great improvement to my work! Since using YY for three days, I really want to kiss its product manager

"It never occurred to me that a piece of software from China has completely changed the way my colleagues and I work. Now we no longer use the company's extremely difficult and often problematic internal communication system. There are more than 120 people in a large group in the company, and each department has a small group, so it's not too cool to communicate with each other in all kinds of work !”

"The wisdom of Chinese people is shocking. It's not a hard software to develop, but it's a god level product that needs a lot of wisdom to polish!"

This report gives Chinese people a new understanding of YY's achievements overseas.

When Li Mu received the news, it was already 10 o'clock in the morning. All the college students at the same level had started their classes. At this time, he was sitting in the class and listening to the class, and he just got up from the bed.

Last night, I worked out the promotion rules with the core layer on Taobao. I was very busy until late. After I got up, I saw several messages from my colleagues and friends. At this time, Li Mu turned on the computer and paid attention to the comments on the Internet. I found that the senior editor of Silicon Valley magazine Ben.Clarkson Long comments on YY have spread all over the Internet in China.

Both YY and other portals put this news on the most eye-catching headlines, and the headlines are basically the same, all of which are intended to highlight a theme - "Chinese Internet products conquer Silicon Valley in the United States"

because ancient China has created numerous brilliant achievements in the world, and modern history is quite bumpy, Chinese people are very concerned about the West The world's view of itself is also eager to see Chinese people, or Chinese companies and products highly praised overseas, because this can greatly satisfy people's national pride. Now, YY has conquered the American elite in an unstoppable way and won praise from the British, which naturally excites the Chinese people.

Li Mu finds Ben.Clarkson After reading the original text, I can't help but laugh.

Ben.Clarkson In this article, I have already considered the requirements that I put forward to myself. The more perfect, in-depth and customized member value-added service has been tested in-house. The core function has been developed for a long time. The internal test is just to test whether the purchase process of value-added service in different gear will have problems, so as to avoid users spending money in gear a but can't enjoy it immediately When receiving the service of file a, it is more important to avoid that users spend the money of file a, but only get the service of file B. This is not development, but only the connection of channels and the support of backstage server for services.

In addition, Li Mu had ordered to connect paypal as early as the last meeting, but it was not clear how the progress was.

A phone call to Kong Lingyu, Li Mu on the phone asked about the progress of two things.

Kong Lingyu's reply is that the whole set of core logic and component update of member value-added services have been completed. Now, the technical team is waiting for PayPal to run through the payment interface according to PayPal's technical requirements. As long as the payment interface runs through, PayPal is the eye-catching person of YY who can see that YY is not Ben.Clarkson It is suggested that the adjustment should be made as early as possible In Li Mu's opinion, this point must be made clear, otherwise some people will think that they are reading YY Ben.Clarkson After that, the article was inspired and adjusted, which forced the Americans to cut the beard halfway and install it first.Kong Lingyu also reported a small detail to Li Mu, that is, PayPal's partner rating to YY is a +, enjoying the lowest proportion of channel fee of 5%, which is the only a + partner among all products connected to PayPal in China.

Li Mu was surprised and said with a smile, "I didn't expect PayPal to give face."

Kong Lingyu said with a smile, "yes, PayPal's contact person is very interested. He not only gives the highest rating, but also gives us the highest priority."

Saying that, Kong Lingyu suddenly thought of something and blurted out: "right! Almost forgot! PayPal's contact person said that their CEO told our contact person through him that he would like to have an opportunity to meet you, whether in China or the United States. "

Li Mu frowned and asked him, "who is their CEO?"

There are two founders of PayPal, Li Mu, who are familiar with each other Elon.Musk One is Elon Musk Peter.Thiel Peter Thiel.

Needless to say, the former is the founder of Tesla and SpaceX, known as the iron man of Silicon Valley; the latter is also a very bullish person. He is a famous investor in Silicon Valley, who first invested 500 thousand dollars to Mark Zuckerberg to create Facebook, and his profits are more than ten thousand times of the investment.

Both of them are big bulls in the Internet and capital industries, but it's unclear who is PayPal's CEO right now.

At this time, Kong Lingyu said, "I don't remember their CEO's name, mascot. "

" Oh... " Li Mu said with a smile, "Elon Musk."

"Yes, that's the name." Kong Lingyu said in surprise, "boss, are you familiar with paypal?"

Li Mu laughed and said, "Alipay is inspired by them. How can they be unfamiliar?"

Said Li Mu: "you ask the contact person to help me convey a message to him. I don't have a U.S. passport. If he is not in a hurry, he can wait for me to visit him when I arrive in the United States. If he is in a hurry, please come to China at any time. I will do my best."

Kong Lingyu said, "OK, let me talk to the contact person."

After hanging up the phone, Li Mu smiled. Unexpectedly, Elon Musk took the initiative to say he wanted to see himself. What did he want? Invest in yourself?

At first glance, Li Mu felt a little excited. After all, he was the first silicon valley tycoon and super Daniel to send an invitation to meet him. It must be a happy thing to be appreciated by super Daniel.

But a moment later, Li Mu slapped his forehead, and the smile on his face disappeared.

"Wait a minute, it doesn't seem right! Elon Musk is not a big bull at the moment! He's just about to sell PayPal to eBay at most, as if the deal was only concluded in October. "

"PayPal is just a payment channel now. It's not really driven by cattle. How much can it be sold? If I remember correctly, I only sold more than one billion dollars in my last life. How many shares does Elon Musk have? More than ten percent of the money, two or three hundred million dollars. Why should he vote for me? "

After careful consideration, Li realized that his current conservative value is several times that of Elon Musk, and with the constant popularity of YY in the overseas market, his own value is still rising. If this round of financing of pastoral technology can get the sky value, then he will directly become the richest man in China, at least ten times that of Elon Musk 。

Why does Elon Musk want to find himself? He wants to do it with himself? Or do you want to invest? Or just want to make friends with yourself?

Li Mu thought it over in his heart. There are three possibilities, but the first and the third are not obvious.

By contrast, he thinks Elon Musk is more likely to want to find his own investment. Although he is bullish, he doesn't have much money in his hand. It's estimated that as soon as PayPal is sold, he will take the money and invest in space projects. Isn't it because he thinks that he is a Chinese upstart who looks like a big enemy and runs to pull himself to invest in his SpaceX?

It's not true. Li Mu once read the relevant books of Elon Musk, and was very impressed that although he established SpaceX this year, the real investment of 100 million US dollars was in 2006 four years later. Is he interested in investing now?

Li Mu doesn't know anything about space and aviation, and he doesn't invest in it even if he has free money. The R & D investment cycle is long, the return cycle is longer, and there are many setbacks in the middle. Instead of following the blind investment, let Elon Musk himself struggle for a few years. When the financial crisis in 2008, he saved enough capital, and then take the opportunity to copy his bottom Ah!
