In fact, in Taobao's future planning, Li Mu does pay more attention to Lei Jun.

The reason why Senior Brother Liu was brought in was not because Li Mu thought he would be able to do a good job in Taobao, but because he felt that he had the ability to do a good job in his own logistics.

Brother Liu has the ability to manage a large plate of tens of thousands of people, especially a huge system composed of a large number of employees such as logistics. His management can be said to be top-notch.

However, in the development of online business, Brother Liu's ability is not very good.

The development of JD.com in the past life has always been limited by serious bottlenecks. This is related to external competition, and it is also related to Brother Liu's character and way of doing things.

The difference between Lei Jun and him is that Lei Jun is better at marketing, and in e-commerce, the most important thing is marketing, followed by logistics or other aspects.

Therefore, in the future, for the overall direction and overall operation of Taobao, Li Mu hopes that Lei Jun will be responsible for it.

As for Senior Brother Liu, the best arrangement is to let him focus all his energy on logistics and be the eo of Taobao Logistics. As for a higher position, in Li Mu's eyes, he is not so suitable.

...

The night before Google went public, Larry Page held a cocktail party at the hotel where Li Mu was staying.

In addition to some Wall Street celebrities and Internet bigwigs, some well-known Wall Street and foreign media reporters were invited.

When the reception started, Li Mucai came from his presidential suite to the executive lounge downstairs.

Tonight, the entire executive lounge is closed to the public, and all are reserved by Google.

As soon as Li Mu appeared, Larry Page greeted him, followed by dozens of media reporters.

Li Mu and Larry Page shook hands, posing for the media to take some photos, and then stood on a small stage about 20 centimeters high to be interviewed by media reporters.

The first person who was asked by Li Mu was a reporter from China CCTV. The CCTV reporter immediately asked Li Mu: "Mr. Li, this time Google goes public, you came from China to ring the bell. Is this a move to show the world that you are with you? Google's close relationship?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "This is a deliberate demonstration. I am a shareholder of Google and a good friend of Mr. Page. It is natural to be there to congratulate me on such a big event."

After speaking, Li Mu said again: "By the way, you just asked this question, so I'll announce something here by the way."

When the media reporters heard this, they tried their best to stretch their microphones towards Li Mu, and the photographers behind also focused their lenses on Li Mu alone.

Li Mu said with a smile: "Mr. Page and I have reached a consensus that we are going to jointly invest by Makino Technology and Google to establish a new technology company, which will be named ≈ap;g, which is expected to be launched in this Complete the registration within a month and set up the company’s headquarters in Silicon Valley.”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked.

Muye Technology itself is a shareholder of Google, which is one of the reasons why the market is very optimistic about Google's prospects, but unexpectedly, the day before the listing, Li Mu suddenly announced that he would set up a new joint venture with Google, which proves that the two The company not only has close ties in capital, but will soon cooperate closely in business!

This is a huge plus for Google.

So the reporter hurriedly asked: "Mr. Li, can you tell me, what is the future business direction of ≈ap;g?"

Li Mu said with a smile: "Everyone should know that Makino Technology and Ford have reached an acquisition intention to acquire their three auto brands, and part of the future business direction of ≈ap;g is to provide Makino Technology's future automotive industry. In addition, we have some strategic plans that are not convenient to announce now. When the time is right in the future, we will announce them to you step by step.

"

At this time, a reporter from nn in the United States asked: "Mr. Li, can you disclose the specific shareholding ratio of ≈ap;g?"

The significance of ≈ap;g to Google's improvement mainly depends on the proportion of Google's shareholding in this company. If it is high, it proves that Makino Technology has not invested much, and it may be a transition; Low, that proves that Google is playing soy sauce.

Li Mu immediately replied: "The specific shareholding ratio is 60 for Muye Technology and 40 for Google, and we will not add new shareholders in principle."

Makino Technology accounts for 6 and Google accounts for 4. From the outside, this is basically the best golden ratio for Google.

After all, Google wants the endorsement of Muye Technology, and it is the little brother of Muye Technology itself. If you hold too many shares, you will feel insecure.

The reporter asked Larry Page again: "Mr. Page, Makino Technology is one of Google's major shareholders, and will set up a ≈ap;g company with Google in the future, then I would like to ask, Google's future strategic plan, is it? Do you want to rely on Muye Technology to survive and develop?"

Larry Page immediately replied: "As you said, Muye Technology is indeed one of Google's major shareholders and a very important strategic partner for us in the future, but our business planning with Muye Technology is very harmonious. Therefore, in the future, Google will not rely on the development of Makino Technology, but will cooperate and develop together with Makino Technology. We have started to establish a joint venture company. In the future, we may jointly invest in other projects. This in-depth cooperation is the future between Google and Makino. Technology is the way to go.”

The listing is imminent, and Larry Page must not directly admit that he has to rely on Makino Technology to survive and develop, at least to make the outside world have greater expectations for Google's prospects.

At this time, a reporter from Fortune Magazine asked Li Mu: "Mr. Li, we have been hearing the rumors about the IPO of Muye Technology. We don't know when the IPO of Muye Technology will be. When you come to New York this time, do you also want to support Muye Technology's IPO? ipo Pathfinder?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "I don't have much to explore about the ipo matter. For this kind of thing, we have cooperative accounting firms and law firms, we have also established an ipo department internally, and we also have the lead underwriter for future ipo. Shang, everything is ready, just one step away, what else do I have to explore?"

After speaking, Li Mu added: "As for when Muye Technology will IPO, I can only tell you that it is tentatively scheduled to start in the second half of this year, but it is not completely certain, because for us now, the most important thing is The problem is finding the right time to go public.”

At this time, Li Mu suddenly remembered something and said with a smile, "By the way, I saw a Wall Street media say before, I want to know how much money I can get if I auction a lunch. I don't know which media's manuscript is it?"

The Wall Street Journal reporter raised his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Li, that article was written by our Wall Street Journal."

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Inspired by you, I decided to auction a dinner to try it out. All the auction proceeds will be donated to the Veteran Undying Charity Foundation."

This time, the reporter was fried, and even Larry Page was a little surprised.

No one would have thought that Li Mu actually decided to auction the dinner. Although Buffett initiated this event, there has been no imitator.

The main reason why many bigwigs did not follow Buffett is actually that they are worried that their auction amount will not match Buffett.

After all, Buffett is a great god in the investment world. If you have dinner with Bill Gates and he tells you how he built Microsoft, you will feel very rational after listening, but it is only rational and has no practical guiding role.

But Buffett is different. His experience is solid investment experience. How to analyze the market, how to seize opportunities, and how to make a lot of money in the stock market, no one can compare with Buffett in this regard.

Li Mu also doesn't know how much his dinner can be sold, because he doesn't know what kind of experience he can teach those who have dinner together.

However, Li Mu himself is a legend, a super legend who accumulates vast wealth at the speed of light. In the eyes of the outside world, he is a treasure all over his body. Even if he can get a little bit of on-demand from him, he will definitely benefit a lot.

As soon as the reporters heard he was going to auction dinner, they started chattering and asking all kinds of questions.

Li Mu gestured for everyone to be quiet, and then introduced himself: "My auction dinner will be held in Huaxia Yanjing. At that time, I will set aside three hours to have dinner with the successful bidder."

"As for the bidders, there are no requirements or restrictions on their identity. As long as they successfully bid and pay, they can come to Yanjing to have dinner with me."

A reporter hurriedly asked, "Mr. Li, where will your dinner be auctioned?"

Li Mu said: "Dinner will be auctioned online on Taobao International, and two online payment channels, papal and Alipay, will be supported."

After speaking, Li Mu introduced: "Taobao International is not online yet, but we should meet you in the near future."

Another reporter asked: "Mr. Li, is the reason why you auctioned dinner to promote Taobao International?"

Li Mu nodded generously and admitted, "Sacrificing a little of my personal time and energy to help promote my own industry, and at the same time I can raise money for the Veteran Undying Charity Foundation. It kills two birds with one stone. Why not do it?"

"Then, do you think your dinner or Buffett's lunch is more expensive?"

Li Mu said with a smile: "This has no meaning at all. Mr. Buffett is an investment expert. If you have lunch with him, you may get some tips from his decades of investment experience. As for me, I am mainly good at entrepreneurship rather than investment. Provide investment experience to others, but still provide some entrepreneurial experience and experience, so whoever has a higher transaction price depends on everyone’s respective audiences.”

"Then will your dinner auction continue in the future?"

Li Mu said: "I can't say this. If I retire one day and don't want to deal with entrepreneurship anymore, then I should also stop this. However, as long as I am still working, then this dinner auction will be continue."
