The branch of Muye Technology in Silicon Valley is located in the hinterland of Silicon Valley. This is the most prosperous central area of ​​Silicon Valley. Lin Qingya made a decision to rent a three-story single-family villa-style property with a total area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters in a small park here. On the nameplate at the door, Li Mu saw four prominent Chinese characters "Miye Technology". At the bottom of the Chinese characters, it is muye-tehnology in English.

Li Mu also saw many well-known companies along the way, but the company name contains Chinese characters, and Makino Technology is still the only one.

Seeing Li Mu staring at the company nameplate outside the door, Lin Qingya couldn't help but look forward and said, "Mr. Li, we are the only domestic Internet companies that have officially opened for office in Silicon Valley. Other companies also have offices in Silicon Valley, but they are all hidden in small units of various incubators, the largest one is no more than 100 square meters."

Li Mu nodded, pointed to the four words of Muye Technology and smiled slightly: "It seems that we are the first Chinese company to truly land in Silicon Valley."

Lin Qingya smiled and said, "That's right, the first one in the true sense."

As he said that, Lin Qingya whispered: "Let's go in quickly, many employees are waiting."

According to Lin Qingya, the total number of employees working in the United States of Makino Technology has exceeded 300. Among them, except for the two batches from China, which have a total of more than 110 people, the rest of the people have been recruited in the United States during this period.

Among the two hundred new employees, most of them are ground promotion personnel affiliated with "Paradise Town". There are too many American universities, so the promotion team has a very large demand for personnel. The newly added employees are all full-time employees who have officially signed contracts. In addition, there is also a part-time team under the promotion team of "Paradise Town" with a size of more than 1,000 people.

However, since the promotion team of "Paradise Town" is now carrying out promotion work in major universities across the United States, the number of employees working in Silicon Valley is not large, with a total of about 100 people. Among them, there are about 40 old employees from China, and the remaining 60 are all new employees recruited in Silicon Valley, and basically all are technical.

Among the 60 new recruits, Chinese and Chinese account for more than half of them, which is also due to Makino Technology's extraordinary influence in the Chinese field. Many Chinese who work in the Internet overseas have a great favor for Makino Technology and are eager to join Makino Technology and become a member of Makino Technology.

Li Mu himself had asked Lin Qingya to take the lead a few months ago to start the return of outbound talents. For such a long time, Muye Technology has reclaimed more than 100 high-end technical talents from Western developed countries, especially the United States, for Muye Technology and the entire Chinese Internet industry.

However, there are still a large number of overseas talents who have settled in the United States or have obtained American nationality. For this group of people, it is somewhat difficult to make them give up their lives abroad and return to China, so they cannot go to China to join Makino Technology. But now, Makino Technology has its own overseas branch in Silicon Valley, and they can work for Makino Technology at their doorstep. This is naturally a rare good thing for them.

Lin Qingya told Li Mu: "Most of the newly recruited overseas employees of the company always admire you, the old man, and they are very excited to see you, so they are all looking forward to it in the company now. When they meet later, they will probably be a little fanatical. You can make preparations in advance."

Li Mu joked: "I'm under a lot of pressure when you say that, it's like meeting fans."

Lin Qingya smiled and said, "You have a great influence in the local Chinese circle. It is said that you are the one who wins glory for the most in Silicon Valley, so it is natural for everyone to pursue you."

What Lin Qingya said is indeed correct.

At this moment, more than a hundred people in the company were already looking at each other. Li Mu and Lin Qingya walked into the company's gate together. Everyone stood on both sides of the door. While cheering and greeting Li Mu, they shouted: "Hello, Mr. Li."

Li Mu looked around and saw many familiar faces and many strange faces. However, he kept smiling humbly and nodding to everyone, and someone came up to ask for a handshake. Li Mu also refused everyone, shaking hands and saying thank you in Chinese to the other party.

For these old Muye Technology employees who flew from China, Li Mu's arrival is equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the group army going to the front line to express condolences to the soldiers, so there is no need to say much about the encouragement of morale.

Li Mu is the legendary figure they admired by those Chinese and Chinese employees who have just joined Muye Technology, so they are naturally very excited about this legendary figure suddenly appearing in front of them.

In addition, there are also a group of coalition forces from all over the world and all races. Although these people are not as fanatical as the first two, they are still full of respect and curiosity towards Li Mu, a billionaire in his early twenties.

Silicon Valley is big, big enough to accommodate many top 500 high-tech enterprises in the world, as well as countless small and medium-sized enterprises and startups; but Silicon Valley is also small, so small that there are basically no secrets in Silicon Valley. Every person in Silicon Valley is like a vendor selling computer hardware in Zhongguancun who knows the entire shopping mall well, and is particularly sensitive to every move of the entire Silicon Valley.

Li Mu just arrived at the Silicon Valley branch of Muye Technology for less than half an hour, and the entire Silicon Valley learned about the news.

Li Mu is here!

When yy was in full swing and "Paradise Town" infected the entire American university like a plague, Li Mu came.

Li Mu came to Silicon Valley at this time. For people in the American Internet industry, there may be several possibilities behind it. It may be a signal that Makino Technology launched a general attack on the US market; it may also be a prelude to Makino Technology's round C financing; even both.

For a moment, the entire Silicon Valley became nervous because of the news of Li Mu's arrival.

The peer companies began to worry that Li Mu brought the unimaginable expansion speed of Muye Technology to the United States. After all, no one wants his peers to become stronger, and he doesn't want a strong peer to suddenly appear around him, especially Muye Technology, which does instant messaging and online social networking.

If there is an additional Cisco, it would be better for Intel. In addition to Cisco, Intel itself will worry, other Internet companies are more looking forward to such a competitive situation. The fight between hardware companies can not only reduce the hardware price, but also promote the development of hardware. If Intel has more competitors, the price of computer CPUs will continue to increase, and the speed of updates will also increase. In that case, the overall price of hardware will decline, and the entire industry will enjoy dividends.

However, Makino Technology is different. Companies like Makino Technology are targeting online social networking and instant messaging. This is a strong demand area for users, and the encroachment of users, traffic and online duration is like a whale. Moreover, Makino Technology has a tendency to develop horizontally around this strong demand. If it is made bigger, almost all Internet companies will be affected. Makino Technology is like a crazy expansion of invasive alien species, constantly invading the living space and nutrients of other Internet companies.

Sequoia Capital, which is only three blocks away from the Silicon Valley branch of Muye Technology, has already received news that Li Mu has arrived in Silicon Valley, which has made the entire Sequoia Capital nervous.

Muye Technology's C round of financing has been delayed again and again. Although Muye Technology has always been ambiguous about Sequoia Capital, it is like a beautiful woman who is good at playing with men. She is always close and distant, which makes people anxious.

I had previously talked with Sequoia China Branch several times, but Makino Technology is different from all financing companies because Makino Technology did not show an urgent need for money from beginning to end.

Makino Technology itself wants to raise the C round, but they seem to be completely short of money, so they are not concerned about the progress and efficiency of the C round financing.

Behind this "uncareful" attitude, Makino Technology is constantly breaking out various new actions. Not only does its products continue to improve beyond imagination, but it even touches the online payment business in the United States. It successfully "borrowed" ebay's money to invest in Paypal, and its valuation was almost on a rocket and the speed of the jump made all capital very nervous.

Now, everyone knows that Makino Technology is a super express that making money; everyone knows that Makino Technology now needs a lot of financial support to launch the "global model"; it also knows that Makino Technology can be easily listed on the Nasdaq, and it still lacks a round of financing and the operation of local capital in the United States. So based on these points, American capital is very clear that Li Mu will definitely finalize financing in the near future, and financing will definitely seek American capital, because Li Mu's "global model" started in the United States and needs a strong local American allies.

According to Sequoia, the investment bank capital that can be named in the United States is basically interested in Muye Technology. Everyone knows that as long as they can reach capital cooperation with Muye Technology before Muye Technology goes public, the investment can be recycled immediately as soon as Muye Technology goes public. If they hold shares of Muye Technology for a long time, the scale of funds that can be leveraged by these billions of dollars is astonishingly large.

Sequoia originally thought that she was the most inclined partner of Muye Technology, but unexpectedly, when Li Mu came to the United States, he didn't say hello to them. If Li Mu really wanted to meet Sequoia, then he should at least inform Sequoia of his itinerary in advance and then make an approximate meeting time with Sequoia's senior management.

But now it seems that Li Mu has no tendency at all. His only tendency is the one who bids higher.

The cruel reality made Sequoia's senior management feel huge pressure all of a sudden. If Li Mu has no tendency towards Sequoia, then if Sequoia wants to invest in Muye Technology, it may have to fight with SoftBank, Goldman Sachs and other venture capital firms during the next period!
