Chapter 624 What does it have to do with me?
Li Mu didn't have a long-sleeved shirt in his trunk. The reason for saying this was that he was holding his heart to make Ding Zhenglin embarrassed, but he said it very little, as if he was deliberately avoiding what Ding Zhenglin said to Lin Qingya, and his tone was full of concern. It seemed that he was just caring about Lin Qingya in private.
But this sentence still entered Ding Zhenglin's ears without saying a word, which made him feel a little embarrassed and embarrassed. He originally felt that he could not be on a business trip in this outfit, but at this moment he felt like he had become a clown in a strange outfit. He felt that he was extremely uncomfortable everywhere in his body. The contrast of this feeling was huge, and his psychological feelings were quite different, so that Ding Zhenglin wanted to tear off his suit quickly, not to mention changing it to a simple T-shirt, at least changing it to a short-sleeved shirt could make him feel more comfortable.
But in this situation, Ding Zhenglin could only bite the bullet and say: "I turned on the air conditioner too low, so I'll turn it up a little."
As he said that, he reached out to get the remote control.
Lin Qingya also guessed Li Mu's intentions. Although she felt a little cold after entering the house, she knew that she would definitely not believe Li Mu's words just now, so she could only smile in her heart, pretended to be indifferent on her face, and said to the two: "It's okay, I'm not cold."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Zhenglin adjusted the air conditioner from 16 degrees to 24 degrees. He wanted to take off his suit jacket, but he hesitated for a while and was embarrassed to get started.
Li Mu felt that if Ding Zhenglin was embarrassed and cramped during this interview, his entire psychological state would be greatly affected. If he wanted to fool him to give up Sequoia and join Makino Technology, he would have to undermine his confidence in his current role.
At this time, Li Mu invited him to sit down and said, "Sorry, Mr. Ding, there is a traffic jam on the road, which has made you wait for a long time."
Ding Zhenglin hurriedly said, "You are welcome."
Li Mu smiled slightly and asked Ding Zhenglin: "How long has Mr. Ding been in the investment bank?"
Ding Zhenglin felt restless because of his outfit, so when he was asked a question by Li Mu, who was nearly ten years younger than him, he felt like he was being asked by his elders. He even said nervously: "I have been in the eighth year in investment banking, and I have just graduated and entered the industry until now."
Li Mu nodded and smiled, "Then you are a veteran in the investment banking circle. To be honest, I don't know much about financial operations, so if Mr. Ding thinks I'm too amateur, just correct me."
"Where are, you are very wise in financial operations, simple and direct, and effective. Even those of us who specialize in finance are very amazed." Ding Zhenglin was particularly modest, not as modest as you can pretend. Faced with a 20-year-old billionaire like Li Mu, Ding Zhenglin basically couldn't find any sense of superiority. Even though he felt that Muye Technology's capital operation was very weak and had no rules, he did not dare to underestimate Li Mu's vision in capital at all.
Normally, Internet companies are bragging and telling stories. Most Internet entrepreneurs dare to tell investors that they are planning to open a global chain of Internet cafes. After starting a business, such low-cost people will be extremely active in financial operations and can play with financing. In contrast, Li Mu's two financings are too simple, and there is almost no technical operation. It is indeed very lack of experience depending on the operation method alone.
However, Ding Zhenglin thought about this issue from another perspective. Muye Technology rose rapidly with just two financings. This degree is almost unprecedented in the Internet field. Muye Technology's ability to achieve such rapid development is inseparable from Li Mu's operation, and on the other hand, it seems to be related to his financing strategy. Li Mu raised Baidu for the first time to introduce Baidu's traffic. Before the second financing, Baidu was kicked away because Baidu's traffic was no longer of much significance to him. Immediately after the second financing, those who invested in Muye Technology were Li Mu's friends. Xu Jiaming and Chen Ze paid the money and occupied Muye Technology's shares, but no one would interfere with Li Mu's daily operations of Muye Technology. Therefore, Li Mu still has 10% control over Muye Technology. From another perspective, this is also a strategy of Li Mu. If Li Mu introduced a real venture capital company early, it would be difficult for him to guarantee his unshakable position in the company.
So overall, Ding Zhenglin felt that Li Mu was a very awesome person in financial operations. His best way was simple, and he was using the simplest way to achieve the greatest effect.
Li Mu laughed at himself and said, "You think so, it's just blinded by the success of Muye Technology."
Li Mu knew very well that Ding Zhenglin would feel that he was very smart in financial operations, but in fact it was a determinism of results. After seeing the success of Muye Technology, he would in turn think that Muye Technology's practices were very awesome, just as later generations advocated how awesome and wise the practice of Lao Ganma not going public was. In fact, this is a determinism of results. Conversely, calm down and think about it, is Lao Ganma not going public really awesome? It is not that she did not go public to succeed, but that after she made Lao Ganma successful, based on her usual exhibition model, whether it was listed or not was no longer important to her.
Lao Ganma has good products as the core, which not only expands the market for her, but also strengthens the supply and marketing relationship for her. Therefore, her cash flow is strong, and she is also light assets, so the overall operation has always been good. However, this good model, to put it bluntly, is effective, but lacks sufficient technical content, and also restricts the possibility of diversified development.
Lao Ganma's early model in entrepreneurship was: production, sales, and earning;
The model after the start is: prolific, sell more, and earn more;
The goal of the development has always been: to produce more, sell more, and earn more.
Li Mu will not deny this simple, direct, rough and effective business model, but his pursuit must be slightly higher than the basis of simplicity and practicality. He hopes that his own pattern can be continuously broken through, and that his own industry model can be continuously broken through. So he is not happy at all for Ding Zhenglin's praise. Instead, he is more aware of his shortcomings. If he just wants to keep the current situation and make money steadily and spend money with peace of mind, the current simplicity and effectiveness are enough, but if he wants to make an upward breakthrough, he must change the current development model.
Ding Zhenglin thought about it for a moment and seemed to have grasped the meaning in Li Mu's words, so he also realized in his heart that Li Mu was actually not satisfied with his own financial operations.
Thinking of this, Ding Zhenglin began to bring the topic to the right track and said seriously: "Mr. Li, you should be a leader focusing on the Internet exhibition and Internet products. If you are worried that the financial aspect will not keep up with the exhibition of Makino Technology, I think the best way is to attract old venture capital companies like Sequoia to join. If Makino Technology chooses Sequoia, Sequoia will definitely use the financial operation experience accumulated over 40 years to help Makino Technology better exhibit. Sequoia has extraordinary strength in the American financial industry. In the future, if Makino Technology wants to go public in the United States, we can provide the most direct and effective help."
Li Mu nodded with agreement and smiled: "The future path of Muye Technology must be to go public in the United States, but the problem now is not how many stops will be stopped before going public in the United States, but how many people will get on the bus when going public in the United States."
The meaning in Li Mu's speech is somewhat obscure. What he wants to express is: going public in the United States is his goal, but he no longer considers financing, and is considering attracting more professional talents to join before going public.
Although Ding Zhenglin has a good strategic vision of financial operations and investment, he seems to be a little lacking in understanding the hidden meanings of others' words. He did not hear what Li Mu said, but instead said in agreement: "What Mr. Li said is really right! Now is a key node for more people to get on the bus and move forward together. If Sequoia joins, Muye Technology will definitely be able to go faster and faster on the road to listing in the United States!"
Li Mu smiled indifferently and said, "Mr. Ding didn't understand what I mean, so he made an inappropriate analogy. If Makino Technology is a train, then it has completed its last marshaling now. Before arriving at the next destination, it will not stop and remarshaling again. However, if there are suitable people and individuals, Makino Technology will take him on the train and walk to the next stop together."
Ding Zhenglin was stunned and looked at Li Mu in shock. After a while, he asked, "Mr. Li, what do you mean?"
Li Mu was helpless, and Lin Qingya, who was standing beside him, shook her head secretly when she heard it. Ding Zhenglin was confused. What does it mean to not regroup and then come out? What does it mean to be a suitable person and a suitable individual? He is sensitive to finance, but he really lacks brain circuits when it comes to the twists and turns in this kind of speech.
Li Mu simply opened the skylight and said lightly: "Mr. Ding, let's just say that Muye Technology is not planning to make a round of financing before going public. Our goal is to achieve the goal of listing on Nasdaq at the end of O3 or the first half of O4. In the past year and a half to two years, Muye Technology will make every effort to sprint, so in this short period of time, we only accept individuals to join Maye Technology, and not any other companies or institutions to join."
As soon as he finished speaking such a straightforward sentence, Ding Zhenglin suddenly became anxious and stood up suddenly and said indignantly: "Mr. Li, aren't you fooling people? You claimed to do a round of financing. The whole industry is eager to talk to you about the round. If you ask Mr. Lin to make a phone call, I will face the high temperature of 30 degrees in the summer and wear this outfit to talk to you about financing. I am afraid that I will lose my politeness in front of you and even dare not take off my coat. Now you say this suddenly, isn't this a monkey-playing trick?"
Li Mu raised his head, looked at Ding Zhenglin's blushing face, and said innocently: "When did we say we wanted to merge BSP; Ding Zhenglin blurted out: "Isn't it revealed by Mingcheng Capital? Isn't Mingcheng Capital the lead investment in Muye Technology's B round?"
Li Mu nodded: "Yes, you said it yourself. It was the news revealed by Mingcheng Capital. What does it have to do with me?"
"I...this..."
