The first article in China to report ben.clarkson was actually CCTV's morning news.

In the morning news broadcast at 7 o'clock, CCTV reported on the title "Chinese Internet products are highly sought after by elites in the United States" about yy's sudden popularity overseas.

There is no doubt that CCTV is definitely the news media with the highest sensitivity in China and the most timely acquisition of information in the world. They can obtain all kinds of information one step ahead of other domestic media, and there are foreign correspondents in various countries around the world, completely unaffected by time zones and time difference.

CCTV reports showed that yy became popular overseas, and gave a certain overview of the original text of ben.clarkson, and translated the praise of yy. It also explained that this is the most authoritative technology magazine in the entire Silicon Valley. The editor-in-chief named ben.clarkson is also one of the three most famous and powerful editors of this magazine.

When CCTV is doing news, the overall sense of rhythm is indeed very good. After finishing the first two steps, the rhythm has been brought up. Then, through the continuous rising data and the good reputation of various websites and forums, it further consolidates the fact that yy has become popular overseas, and directly highlights the purpose of "yy is awesome overseas and even brings glory to the country" that news wants to convey to the fullest.

Here, CCTV excerpted a large number of overseas forums' evaluations on Makino Technology, and attached a Chinese translation next to the original English evaluation. Once these comments were listed, they immediately aroused the audience's sense of national pride.

For example:

“yy is definitely the best Internet product in the 21st century. Its appearance has changed the entire office landscape!”

"Hey, the arrogant Microsoft has finally been slapped in the face now! For a long time, countless users of msn protested to Microsoft, hoping that they could improve the shit-like software, but they have been indifferent. Now, yy from China has thrown it over a hundred streets and slapped Microsoft in the face!"

"Oh my God! This product is really great. As a hr, I have to send and receive a lot of emails every day and keep in close contact with people from every department of the company. I send and receive various documents. This product has brought great improvements to my work! Since I used YY for three days, I really want to kiss its product manager!"

"I never expected that a software from China would completely change the way my colleagues and I work. Now we no longer use the company's extremely difficult and often have problems internal communication system. There are more than 120 people in the company in one large group, and each department has a small group. It's so cool to communicate with various jobs!"

"The wisdom of Chinese people is shocking. This is not a software that is difficult to develop, but it is a god-level product that requires extremely high wisdom to polish it!"

This report gave the Chinese people a new understanding of yy's achievements overseas.

It was already ten o'clock in the morning when Li Mu received the news. All college students of his level had already started. He was sitting in class listening to the class, and he had just gotten up from bed.

Last night, I was busy with the promotional details at Taobao and the core level until very late. After getting up, I saw several colleagues and friends sending messages from my text messages. At this time, Li Mu turned on the computer and followed the comments online. Only then did I find that the long comments on yy of ben.clarkson of "silion-valley-magazine" have spread throughout the Chinese Internet.

Whether it is yy.com or other portals, they all put this news in the most eye-catching headlines, and the title is basically the same, all aiming to highlight a theme "Chinese Internet products conquer the American Silicon Valley"

Because of the great glorious achievements that have created in ancient times and the recent history is quite bumpy, the Chinese people care very much about the Western world's views on themselves, and they also want to see Chinese people, or Chinese companies, whose products are highly respected overseas because this can greatly satisfy people's sense of national pride. Now, yy has conquered the American elite in an unstoppable way and is praised by the elite, which naturally makes the Chinese people very excited.

Li Mu found the original text of ben.clarkson, and after reading it, he couldn't help but laugh.

ben.clarkson has actually considered the requirements that he has made to himself in the article, which is more complete, in-depth and customized member value-added services. The core functions have been developed long ago, and the internal test is only to test whether there will be problems in the purchase process of value-added services at different levels. It can avoid users spending money on a file but not being able to enjoy the service of a file immediately. It also needs to avoid users spending money on a file but only getting B file services. This is not a development, but just opening up the channel and supporting the service by the backend server.

In addition, Li Mu had already ordered the payment to be connected to the last meeting, but Li Mu was not sure about the progress.

A phone call was called to Kong Lingyu, and Li Mu asked about the progress of the two things on the phone.

Kong Lingyu's reply was that the entire set of core logic and component updates of member value-added services have been completed. Now the technical team is waiting for the payment interface to be connected according to the technical requirements of paypal. As long as the payment interface is connected, paypal will be yy's second recharge channel in the future.

Li Mu asked him about the expected online time, and Kong Lingyu's reply was before 9 o'clock tonight.

Tonight at 9:00 in Yanjing time is 8:00 in the morning in New York time and 6:00 in the morning in San Francisco time. It just happened to be online before the start of work for Americans on a day. For Li Mu, this time point is very good.

If you launch paypal payment and complete in-depth customized member value-added services at 6 a.m. San Francisco time, you will probably be shocked, because from the publication of his article to the response of YY, it will not take more than 24 hours.

A discerning person can see that yy is not an adjustment made under the suggestion of ben.clarkson, but has prepared for this. In Li Mu's opinion, this point must be clear, otherwise some people will definitely think that their yy was inspired after reading ben.clarkson's article and made adjustments. This force cannot allow Americans to intercept the ben.clarkson and pretend first.

Kong Lingyu also reported a small detail to Li Mu, that is, Paypal gave YY's partners a+ rating, enjoying a minimum channel fee of 5% of a thousand. It is the only A+ rating partner among all the products connected to Paypal in China.

Li Mu was quite surprised by this and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that paypal is quite affordable."

Kong Lingyu smiled and said, "Yes, the interface people on Paypal are very concerned. They not only give us the highest rating, but also give us the highest priority."

As he said that, Kong Lingyu suddenly remembered something and blurted out: "By the way! I almost forgot! Paypal's interface person said that their CEO told our interface person through him that he hoped to have the opportunity to meet you, and the meeting place is OK, whether it is China or the United States."

Li Mu frowned and asked him: "Who is their ceo?"

The founder of Paypal has two very familiar Li Mu, one is Elon Musk and the other is Peter Thiel.

Needless to say, the former is awesome. The founder of Tesla and Spaex is called the Iron Man of Silicon Valley; the latter is also a very awesome person. He is a famous investor in Silicon Valley. At the earliest, he invested in Mark Zuckerberg for 500,000 US dollars to establish Faebook, and the profit he earned was more than ten thousand times the investment amount.

Both of them are big shots in the Internet and capital industries, but Li Mu really doesn't know who is paypal's CEO now.

At this time, Kong Lingyu said: "I don't remember the name of their ceo, either."

"Oh..." Li Mu said with a smile: "Elon Musk."

"That's right, that's the name." Kong Lingyu said in surprise: "Boss, are you very familiar with paypal?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Alipay was inspired by them, so why would he not be familiar with it?"

As he said that, Li Mu said again: "You ask the interfacer to help me convey a message to him. I don't have an American passport yet. If he is not in a hurry, he can wait for me to visit him in person when I arrive in the United States. If he is in a hurry, please ask him to come to China at any time. I will definitely do my best to be a landlord."

Kong Lingyu said: "Okay, then I'll talk to the interface guy."

After hanging up the phone, Li Mu smiled. Unexpectedly, Elon Musk actually took the initiative to express his desire to see him. What do he want to do? Do you invest in yourself?

When Li Mu thought about this, he felt a little excited. After all, he was the first Silicon Valley boss to invite him to meet. He is a super big guy. It is definitely a happy thing to be appreciated by the super big guy.

But after a moment, Li Mu slapped his forehead and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

"Wait a minute, it seems that something is wrong! Elon Musk is not a big shot at the moment! At most, he is just about to sell paypal to ebay. It seems that this transaction was only reached in October."

"Now paypal is just a payment channel. It hasn't really become awesome yet. How much can it be sold? If you remember correctly, you only sold more than one billion US dollars in your previous life. How many shares does Elon Musk have? About ten percent, with a net worth of about two or three hundred million US dollars, just his net worth, why should you invest in me?"

After thinking about it in his heart, Li Mu realized that his current value is conservatively probably several times that of Elon Musk. Moreover, with YY's continuous popularity in the overseas market, his value is still increasing. If Muye Technology can get a sky-high valuation in this round of financing, he will become the richest man in China, and his value is at least ten times that of Elon Musk.

Why does Elon Musk want to find himself? Does he want to do it with him? Or does he want to invest? Or does he simply want to make friends with him?

Li Mu thought about it in his mind that all three may be possible, but the possibility of the first and third types is obviously not high.

In contrast, he felt that Elon Musk was more likely to want to invest in himself. Although he was awesome, he didn't have much money. I guess once Paypal was sold, he would invest in space projects. Could it be that he thought that he, a Chinese nouveau riche, looked like a sucker, and came to him to invest in his spaex?

Not right, Li Mu once read Elon Musk's related books. What impressed me very deeply was that although he established Spaex this year, the real investment of 100 million US dollars was four years later in 2006. Is he interested in investing now?

Li Mu knew nothing about aerospace, and even if he had spare money, he would never invest in this thing. The R&D investment cycle was long, the return cycle was longer, and there were constant setbacks in the middle. Instead of following the investment at this time, it would be better to let Elon Musk go a few years first. When the financial crisis in 2008, he would save enough capital and then take the opportunity to copy his bottom!
