Li Mu and others followed Lin Qingya out of the airport. There was already a high-standard convoy waiting outside. The leading one was several large Cadillac SUVs, followed by two Cadillac extended luxury sedans. It looked no different from Air Force One. There were several SUVs behind the team, which looked particularly imposing.

Li Mu and Lin Qingya got into a luxury car together. The rear space in the car was full of luxury. Lin Qingya gently pressed a button on the handrail, and a thick layer of glass immediately rose in the window connected to the cab in front of the two, and lowered the curtains.

Seeing Li Mu surprised to see, Lin Qingya smiled and said, "I just discovered it on the way here. If you come to the United States frequently in the future, our American branch will buy one."

Li Mu smiled and said, "One car is meaningless. This team is quite pompous. Why not just follow this specification or get a team a little higher than this specification."

Lin Qingya said: "Mr. Li, the convoy we rented is already considered a state guest-level convoy. Apart from the lack of police cars to lead the lane, the vehicles are allocated, which is no different from the state guest convoy. If such a convoy is really done, would it be a bit exaggerated?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "In China, we should naturally be low-key. That is at our own doorstep. No matter how good we develop, we should be humble enough at our own doorstep. But it is different in the United States. We are at the doorstep of others, and not only represent ourselves, but also represent the business cards of the entire Chinese Internet company. The Americans are looking at us, and the country's fellow villagers are also looking at us. So at this time, we should be high-profile."

Lin Qingya smiled and said, "Then you said it earlier, wouldn't it be more high-profile if I brought dozens or hundreds of media to pick it up today?"

Li Mu waved his hand: "This time is quite special. The reason why neither side arranged the media or did not make any public publicity is that I deliberately wanted to be more low-key. There is no need to make a big fuss when I came to the United States as soon as I arrived. I was more low-key before the Americans figured out our strength. What I wanted was to make big news."

Lin Qingya nodded and said, "Mr. Li, the big news you are talking about is to announce our financing amount after the financing is obtained?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "If you want others to know how rich you are, buying a luxury car and a villa is not enough. You have to be on the list of rich people and let people know what they are worth."

Lin Qingya thinks what Li Mu said makes sense. Although Muye Technology has a certain influence in the United States now, not everyone understands the situation in the Internet industry, and not everyone understands finance. Therefore, they do not have a clear concept of judging Maye Technology.

The only concept that ordinary people can accurately grasp is to use money to measure it.

It is meaningless to tell them how powerful a company is, how many users the product has, how much user viscosity is, etc. It is better to tell them directly how much the company is worth.

Li Mu has a deep understanding of this.

In my previous life, before Alibaba Bar went public, the public had no idea how powerful Alibaba Bar was. They only knew its Taobao and Tmall, but ordinary people did not know how much it was worth.

Alibaba Bar has truly become an Internet company that the whole country is sought after by the whole country. Boss Ma, who is a good teacher, has truly stepped on the world stage and released his pretending skills globally. In fact, it started with Alibaba Bar Bar's market value exceeding 100 billion US dollars and 200 billion US dollars.

More than 200 billion US dollars and more than 1 trillion RMB. Once this data was released, the people truly realized how strong the company is.

Li Mu said at this time: "Qingya, I'm prepared this time. The missile launcher at home has been erected. Once I start sitting down with the capital, I will definitely fight a terrible battle with them. I need you to cooperate with me about the public opinion building. When I sit down with the people of Sequoia, we are in a high-profile start in the United States. Once the negotiations begin, your task is to make the eyes of the whole United States and even the world pay attention to this negotiation."

Lin Qingya immediately said, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will do my best to cooperate with you."

Li Mu smiled slightly, nodded with satisfaction, and then brought the topic back to the convoy, saying, "Actually, the convoy has many uses. We have become a bridgehead in the United States. In addition to real national leaders, if leaders from all over the country come to the United States to work, inspect or attend any meeting, the US government will not provide any fleet services. However, if our Makino Technology American branch fleet is in San Francisco, in principle, any leader who goes to San Francisco can use Makino Technology's fleet for free as long as he needs it."

As he said that, Li Mu said again: "Although the convoy's podium is a bit big, everything we are open and transparent is naturally reasonable and legal. Domestic public opinion will definitely guide public opinion from the perspective of support and appreciation, and will not bring any negative impact."

Lin Qingya said: "I understand Mr. Li, I will arrange the matters of the convoy in the near future."

Li Mu said: "By the way, please help me meet Bill Gates of Microsoft, Jobs of Apple, and Larry Page of Google in the name of private, and I personally admire them very much and hope to have the opportunity to meet and chat with them. It would be better if I could have dinner together."

Lin Qingya said in surprise: "Mr. Li, with your current value and the current influence of Muye Technology, isn't the word "admiration" used a bit too much?"

Li Mu waved his hand and said seriously: "Not at all, these people are all masters in the Internet industry and have made great contributions to the entire Internet industry. Not to mention admiring it, it is not an exaggeration to worship it. Just convey it as I said. If they are interested, let's take a look at their schedules first, and I'll accommodate them."

"Okay." Lin Qingya nodded, then said: "By the way, Elon Musk contacted me yesterday and asked me if you are coming to the United States. I did not reply him clearly. He told me that if you come, let me convey you. He really wants to take time to visit you."

As he said that, Lin Qingya smiled and said, "What he said about seeing you sounds very similar to what you just wanted to see the other three people. It seems that Elon Musk should admire you very much..."

Li Mu smiled and said, "This person is interesting. Maybe he will take a different approach and do something earth-shaking. You don't have to reply to him, just give me his contact information. I'll contact him."

Li Mu is not very interested in new energy vehicles, but he has to admit that Elon Musk himself is a very interesting big shot. Such a person may not be too shining at the moment, but once his era comes, he will inevitably shine.

However, when Li Mu thought of Elon Musk, who was sought after by countless people in his previous life, was waiting for him to come to the United States with admiration, he couldn't help but feel particularly accomplished.

Li Mu guessed that Elon Musk is now in full swing. When he was selling Paypal, he wanted to borrow Li Mu to raise the price with EBAY. Unexpectedly, he fell into the pit that Li Mu dug for him. As a result, Paypal is now held by EBAY and Muye Technology. During the subsequent period, Paypal's market value has been rising sharply. Elon Musk must have been grateful for his original decision more than once, otherwise he would have to package and sell Paypal, so there would be such a good situation of making money while lying down.

Although Elon Musk really wants to meet Li Mu, Li Mu has not ranked his priority too high at the moment. He is not only behind the capital side, but even behind the industry bigwigs he wants to meet. Li Mu now has no in-depth planning for Elon Musk, and it is not the time to build Tesla. Li Mu is not very interested in aerospace technology, so for him, Elon Musk is best to be able to do a steadily and steadily in Paypal at this stage, and work hard for a few years first, and then turn Paypal into a large company of tens of billions of dollars. If he wants to build Tesla at that time, he will first acquire 30% to 50% of his shares.

...

As the convoy advanced to Silicon Valley, Li Mu began to be as happy as a child.

Silicon Valley is a holy place for every practitioner in the Internet and electronics industry. Zhongguancun has always been quite sacred in Li Mu's heart. However, compared with Silicon Valley, the latter is Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the former is at most a boy with money around Guanyin Bodhisattva, and is not at all on the same level of weight.

Sitting in the car, looking at the various corporate logos along the streets, and even many of them were quite awesome aircraft carrier-type companies in later generations, Li Mu felt even more excited.

Once upon a time, dreams could become part of this place and contribute to the development of the Internet industry. Unexpectedly, now he has opened a branch here. The well-known companies here include Apple, Google, ibm, Oracle, Intel, Nvidia, Cisco and other leading companies. Li Mu believes that in the near future, Muye Technology will also become the top first-tier company here.

The convoy slowly drove into the core area of ​​the heart of Silicon Valley. Here, a star-rated hotel stopped in front of the door, and everyone got off the car and prepared to check in.

Originally, Lin Qingya planned the process to pick up Li Mu and her group to Silicon Valley first. After checking in at the hotel she booked in Silicon Valley, everyone would have a good rest first, and then arrange a meeting at the hotel at noon, and call the current Muye Technology employees in the United States to welcome Li Mu and her group together, and then go to Muye Technology's new company in Silicon Valley together in the afternoon.

However, after arriving at the hotel, Li Mu found that everyone was in good spirits. Almost all the eleven people who came with him slept all the way. When they woke up, the plane arrived, so they were not sleepy at all. Moreover, when they first arrived in the United States, everyone was still a little excited. Not to mention sleeping, they didn’t even think of hitting Hache.
