Li Mu is not ready to give Sequoia any face at all now.

Once the financing window is closed and then opened, it is not the final decision of any capital, but Li Mu himself.

If you rejected me in the first round, then if you want to find me, you have to look at my face. He is not worried that Sequoia will become a grudge with him because in the eyes of capital, interests are the most important.

In fact, when I first talked with Sequoia, Li Mu was setting up a set for Sequoia. He knew that Sequoia would definitely refuse his offer, but he still insisted on quoting and put his posture very high. All he wanted was Sequoia to reject it flatly.

If Sequoia rejects itself, all the initiative will be in its own hands. On the contrary, if Sequoia agreed at the beginning, then the person who was stunned would be Li Mu himself.

Fortunately, Sequoia has its own pride, and it perfectly followed Li Mu's script and continued to perform. The highest ranking of school beauties in the United States in Paradise Town also unexpectedly gained huge social attention. With this foundation, in the future, all the initiative is in Li Mu's hands.

Larry Page is indeed responsible for the task of persuading Li Mu. Sequoia's CEO hopes that he can influence Li Mu from the side and let Li Mu restart the negotiations with Sequoia as soon as possible, but the result is cruel. Li Mu refused too simply and did not make any changes because of Larry Page's face, and there was not even a polite word I would like to consider.

Sequoia held an internal discussion meeting to discuss and speculate on the opening time of Muye Technology's next financing window. Most people believe that Li Mu will now make a concerted effort to continue to hype the "highest school beauties in the United States" and it is very likely that the financing window will be opened again in the final stage of the "highest school beauties in the United States" when the "highest school beauties in the United States" is the highest popularity.

Sequoia's CEO has no choice but to do this. This speculation is in line with the rules of financing for most companies. Financing is the same as operating stocks. Stock holders all hope to take action when the stock price is at its highest. As the holders of the shares, Li Mu and Muye Technology's shareholders must also have the same idea.

When I think of a deal worth 17 billion, I may be able to make more than 20 billion by myself, or even make it into a bamboo basket and lose it. Ceo is under great pressure.

However, Li Mu's exhibition match in the United States continues.

The "Super Beauties in the United States" event has indeed attracted attention from the United States, but it ultimately has a huge limitation: the direct participants of the event and the beneficiaries of the event's huge rewards are all limited to the group of female college students in the school, with only a few million people in total. No matter how many others are, they are just running around, and there may be over 100 million people paying attention, but those who can really spend time and energy participating in running around can only account for a small proportion.

Therefore, how to make hundreds of millions of Americans participate in "Paradise Town" and benefit from "Paradise Town", Li Mu's second plan must be launched.

So, on the second day after Li Mu and Larry Page met, the official "Paradise Town" released another big news.

The "Paradise Town Thanksgiving Global Competition" event was officially launched.

This event is aimed at all the users of "Paradise Town" around the world. Of course, because domestic users are playing "Happy Farm" and not "Paradise Town", domestic users are not within the scope of this event. This competition is focused on players in the US market.

As for the domestic market, Li Mu communicated with the operation team of "Happy Farm". Because "Happy Farm" and "Paradise Town" are not data-connected, they try not to use foreign festivals to do game activities in the domestic market. Correspondingly, corresponding activities can be formulated for domestic users in traditional festivals such as the Chinese New Year, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival.

In Li Mu's strategic plan, the "Global Competition for Thanksgiving in Paradise Town" is a strategic complementarity of the "highest list of school beauties in the United States". If the latter only allows female college students in the United States to participate and benefit, then the former can give all users in the United States the opportunity to benefit from it.

The participation requirements for the "Paradise Town Thanksgiving Global Competition" are very simple. As long as you are registered players of the game, you can directly participate in this interesting competition in the game. Players raise designated turkeys according to the rules, make prepared feeds, and plant designated crops. The global player list is calculated after the end of 24:00 on Thanksgiving Day. The top 10,000 players have generous bonuses.

According to Li Mu's plan in China, only the top 100 people in the "Paradise Town Thanksgiving Global Competition" can receive rewards, but because of the temporary increase in the "highest school beauties in the United States", the activity has attracted a lot of attention, so Li Mu also temporarily increased the prize money for the "Paradise Town Thanksgiving Global Competition" this time.

First, the first place bonus increased from the previous one to one million dollars to one million dollars, the second place to five hundred thousand dollars, and the third place to three hundred thousand dollars;

Fourth to sixth place, one hundred thousand dollars;

Seventh to tenth place: fifty thousand dollars;

No. 11 to No. 20: $10,000;

No. 21 to No. 50: $5,000;

No. 51 to No. 100: Three thousand dollars;

No. 101 to No. 1000: One thousand dollars;

The reason why we have to increase the reward range from the first hundred to the first ten thousand is to further expand our influence and allow all potential players to feel that they have a greater chance of getting rewards.

Li Mu's calculations are very simple. The prize money of tens of millions of dollars seems scary, but these bonuses are also promised costs. If this competition can attract a large number of users for Paradise Town, it will be a very cost-effective deal in itself. What's more, the payment ratio of users in Paradise Town is very high. At that time, competitions around the world will definitely prompt a large number of users to pay to participate in the game. Perhaps before Thanksgiving Day really comes, the reward cost of tens of millions of dollars will be recovered.

The main purpose of Li Mu held this event is to mobilize the enthusiasm of netizens across the United States through this event, so that all players can become potential beneficiaries. And more importantly, it can be deeply integrated with the "highest list of school beauties in the United States".

According to the rules of "the highest ranking of school beauties in the United States", whether players want to vote for their favorite school beauties or ordinary people want to vote for their favorite school beauties, they must complete the corresponding tasks in the game to obtain the corresponding "resident coupon". Before this, all the motivation for players to obtain the "resident coupon" comes from two aspects: first, the entertainment of the game itself; second, the attraction of the school beauties.

Now, players have another motivation to obtain "resident coupons" to participate in the "Paradise Town Thanksgiving Global Competition". By participating in this Thanksgiving Competition, players can complete the "resident coupon" in the game and obtain "resident coupons", and there are also a bonus of up to one million US dollars waiting for them to fight for. In this way, users have two complementary power systems.

Players who were originally interested in the "American School Beauty Ranking" now have a strong new motivation.

Players who were not very interested in the "American School Beauty Ranking" have the ability to participate in this competition without paying much behavioral costs, which is very interesting.

This is like Qidian's monthly ticket policy. If it is relatively difficult to obtain monthly tickets, only some hardcore fans will find ways to obtain them in order to vote for their favorite books. In this way, ordinary users' enthusiasm for voting monthly tickets will be greatly reduced. Therefore, the product logic is defined as: as long as the authentic subscription accumulates a certain amount, a monthly ticket can be automatically obtained, which basically allows genuine users to obtain monthly tickets when reading books normally. In this way, the enthusiasm for voting will naturally increase greatly.

What Li Mu wants to play now is to take a two-pronged approach. While letting everyone have a prize to play, there will be a cash prize to win. While letting everyone play, they will get the "resident coupon" on the highest ranking of school beauties in the United States, killing two birds with one stone.

Li Mu's plan worked quickly.

When American netizens envy American female college students and want to buy "resident coupons" for female college students for various reasons, the "Paradise Town Thanksgiving Global Competition" event, which made them cheerful, was launched.

The operator of "Paradise Town" finally thought of them, and also formulated a competition for them, and gave them a high cash reward of tens of millions of dollars. This immediately gave all groups except for female college students a huge stimulus, and for a moment, the social influence was extraordinary.

After the launch of the Thanksgiving Competition, the number of users of "Paradise Town" began to surge, and the number of registered users in the United States quickly exceeded 50 million, becoming the online game with the largest number of registered Internet users in the United States, and the online game with the highest average number of online users per day, reaching more than 30 million.

Just recently, a report released by the United Nations showed that the total number of netizens in the United States is about 143 million. Among them, the website with the largest number of visits is Microsoft's msn, with a daily visit of about 90 million. The software with the largest daily active users is also Microsoft's msn, with nearly 100 million daily active users.

The number of daily active users of "Paradise Town" has been rising sharply. This rising data shocked Microsoft. The popularity of "Paradise Town" will have a certain impact on other American Internet companies, although the overall impact will not be large, but Microsoft is obviously unable to sit still.
