Li Mutrulywantsto take the Sequoiamoney, thisnot onlybecause of the Sequoiastrength, becausealsoonSequoiaunusualinternetgene.李牧确实想拿红杉的钱,这不仅仅是因为红杉的实力,还因为红杉身上与众不同的互联网基因。Alsohas the capital that Sequoiais more powerful, butcanhavesuchpowerfulinfluenceenterpriselikeSequoia, ininternet, was really few.
比红杉强大的资本还有很多,但是能像红杉那样、在互联网有这么强大影响力的企业,实在是太少了。
The later generation, in the Chinainternethalf of the countryhas the Sequoiashadow, itisthattype: AlmostthrewinternetCorporation that allcanthrow, feelsdoes not satisfy a craving, thenthrows a person, withunderstands the capitalcooperation of internetlike this, is not only more efficient, but also is free from worry.
后世,华夏互联网半壁江山中都有红杉的影子,它属于那种:几乎把所有能投的互联网公司都投了一遍,觉得不过瘾,然后再投一遍的主儿,跟这样懂互联网的资本合作,不但更高效,而且更省心。Howevercapitalthingis brutal, Li MufavorsSequoiaevenagain, maystillprobablylook atmoneyto speak, now the speed of Muye Science and Technologydevelopmentis too fast, inoneselfhandhasenoughinitiative, does not needto show good willtoSequoiaalone.
但是资本这个东西本身就是无情的,李牧就算是再倾向于红杉,可也得看钱说话,现在牧野科技发展的速度太快,自己手里有足够的主动权,没必要单独向红杉示好。Onlyadvantage of Sequoiain the Li Mumindis: Whenno onebidsSequoiais higher, oneselfwill certainly chooseit, moreovereventhisadvantage, Li Mudoes not wantto makeSequoiaknow, thereforeheonehas not propagandized himselfto come the US (America)news, twohave not hadanyexplicitcommunicationwithSequoiaahead of time, isto giveSequoia, as well asUS (America)capital marketis caught off guard.红杉在李牧心目中唯一的优势是:当没有人比红杉出价更高的时候,自己一定会选它,而且即便是这个优势,李牧也不想让红杉知道,所以他一没宣传自己来美国的消息,二没提前跟红杉有过任何明确的沟通,就是要给红杉,以及美国资本市场一个措手不及。Li Mufrom the undertaking, treats the capitalonsomealoof, the founderslikemoststart-ups, did not even surpassto the earnestly seekingdegree of capital, surpassed the instinct and hormonetoopposite sexORIJEN (long for).李牧从创业之初,对待资本就有些高冷,不像大多数初创公司的创始人,对资本的渴求程度甚至超过了对异性的渴望、超过了天性与荷尔蒙。In the Li Mueye, the cooperationwithcapital, looks like the marriagecentered onbenefit, ifoneselfweakorstrongis not obvious, lacksthatstrength of spirit, can only act servilelyto the opposite party, will lose the initiativein the futuremarriage, will obviously beownindustry, actuallycrossedto marry into the wife's householdwhile still alive the generalday;
在李牧眼里,与资本的合作,就像是以利益为核心的婚姻,如果自己不够强或者强的不明显,又缺乏那点骨气的话,就只能向对方卑躬屈膝,在未来的婚姻里失去主动权,明明是自己的产业,却活活过成了入赘一般的日子;ButtoLi Mu, whosecomplexionhisdid not look,does not needto bowtoanybodyfor the capital, becausehisfinancingis not the marriage of marrying into the wife's householdis so passive, Series C roundsfinancing of Muye Science and Technologylooks like the nobilityto doto marry, oneself are very powerful, thereforethere is an enoughenergyto select the opposite party, the young lady of whichfamily/homewantsto marry, mustfirstreceive the young ladytemperament, to arrange the heavy/thickdowry, oneselfwhosecomplexiondoes not needto look, the miss who becausewantsto marryare many are, not line of thisfamily/home is also able to discriminate the family/home.
但对李牧来说,他谁的脸色都不看,更不需要为了资本向任何人低头,因为他的融资绝非是入赘的婚姻那样被动,牧野科技的c轮融资就像是王公贵族搞联姻,自身就很强大,所以有足够的底气挑对方,无论是谁家的大小姐想嫁进来,都得先收起小姐脾气、备好厚重的嫁妆,自己谁的脸色都不用看,因为想嫁进来的姑娘多得是,这家的不行还有别家。

就在eri.hanks还没考虑好是否该主动出击的时候,集团ceo也接到了李牧抵达硅谷的消息,立刻将eri.hanks召唤到了自己的办公室。Eric Hanksjustentered the office, CEOthenaskshim: „Eric, before Li MucomesSilicon Valley, made the meetingtimewithyou?”eri.hanks刚进办公室,ceo便问他:“eri,李牧来硅谷之前跟你约好见面时间了吗?”Eric Hanksshakes the head, said: „Li Mucomes the US (America)newsIto know nothing, the Muye Science and Technologyaspecthas not informedmyanyrelatednewsahead of time.”eri.hanks摇摇头,说:“李牧来美国的消息我一无所知,牧野科技方面没有提前告知我任何相关消息。”CEOonehear of thissaying, the browtightensto be pressedimmediately, said: „It seems like, Li Muthistimemustverybe dull longinUS (America).”
ceo一听这话,眉头立刻紧蹙起来,说:“这么看来,李牧这次要在美国呆很久了。”Eric Hankshear the meaning in opposite partywords, helplesssaid with a smile: „Shouldbethis, Li Muwantsto attain a bestoffer, it is estimated thatin the near futurewithmajorinvestment bankfrequent contacts.”eri.hanks听出对方话中的意思,无奈一笑道:“应该是这样吧,李牧想拿到一个最好的报价,估计近期会跟各大投行频繁接触。”CEOsaid: „Li Muthat personmyalthoughdid not understand, the style of howeverworkingheard, in this case, wedo not cover-upwithLi Mu, yourelateon own initiativewithLi Mu, the attitudeis sincerer, firstmakes an appointment withas soon as possibleonetimewithhim, wantingmanypoints of money is not unimportant, but the keywasfirstsitsto makehimsay.”
ceo说:“李牧其人我虽然不了解,但是做事的风格还是有所耳闻,这种情况下,我们就不要跟李牧藏着掖着了,你主动跟李牧联系一下,态度诚恳一些,尽快先跟他约见一次,想要多点钱不要紧,但关键是得先坐下来让他开口说。”
The Eric Hanksnodsaid: „Iunderstood, my wentto sayonewith the assistant, makingherrelatewith the Muye Science and Technologyaspectimmediately.”eri.hanks点头道:“我明白了,那我这就去跟助理说一声,让她立刻跟牧野科技方面联系。”„Good.”CEOopens the mouth saying: „The Muye Science and Technologysituationwehad discussed many were times, in view of the fact thathisdevelopment speed is always much faster .

“好。”ceo开口道:“牧野科技的情况我们已经谈过很多次了,鉴于他一直以来的发展速度都快得惊人,而且paypal现在的市值增长太快,牧野科技的估值我们最多可以认到一百六十五亿美元,你自己把握好节奏,在这个范围内能谈下来最好不过,如果谈不下来,我们再开董事会磋商。”„Understood!”
“明白!”

可是李牧以今天要跟牧野科技分公司员工聚餐为由,直接干脆的拒绝了,他今天第一天到牧野科技的分公司里来,作为一个称职的老板,自然要趁着这个机会,搞一个全公司聚餐,就当是自己为美国分公司搞团建了Eric Hankshad not lost heartby the Li Murejection, hopesas beforecanbookexplicitmeetingtimewithLi Mu, Li Muthisnotagainend frame, buthehas not given upacting coolas before, hemakesDing ZhenglinreplyEric Hanks, oneself10 : 30 am to10.5tenthese20minuteshas not arranged, ifhewants, cancomeMuye Science and Technologyto meetwithoneselfin the Silicon Valleyworklocation.eri.hanks被李牧拒绝也没有死心,依旧希望能够跟李牧预约一个明确的见面时间,李牧这次没有再端架子,不过他依旧没有放弃装逼,他让丁正林回复eri.hanks,自己明天上午十点半到十点五十这二十分钟的时间没有安排,如果他愿意,可以来牧野科技在硅谷的办公场地跟自己见面。Eric Hankshearsthisnewstimehas a scare, 20minutes? Is Li Muthisis being up to mischief? Thisislarge-scalefinancing of tenhundreds of millionsUSD, does Li Muwantto decidein 20 minutestenhundreds of millionsUSDthings?eri.hanks听到这个消息的时候吓了一跳,二十分钟?李牧这是在搞什么鬼?这可是十几亿美元的超大规模融资,难道李牧想在20分钟内把十几亿美元的事情定下来?To say the least, concernstenhundreds of millionsUSDsuchbigthings, let alone20minutesdecide, even ifwith20 minutesdiscussed, are really appeartoodo not attach great importance to? Whatproblem can 20minutessolve?
退一步说,关乎十几亿美元这么大的事情,别说二十分钟定下来,就算是用20分钟时间来讨论,也实在是显得太不重视了吧?二十分钟能解决什么问题?However, in the Eric Hanksalthoughheartis quite discontented, butthese20minutes of meetingtimehecompliesimmediately, andwithDing Zhenglinseveralconfirmations, because in any event, himmustfirstseeLi Muoneself.
不过,eri.hanks虽然心中颇为不满,但是这二十分钟的会面时间他还是立刻答应下来,并且跟丁正林几次确认,因为无论如何,他都要先见到李牧本人。Thereforethistime of Eric Hanksafterlocking, thenstartsto ponder overtwomatters:
于是eri.hanks在锁定下这个时间段之后,便开始琢磨两件事:First, tomorrowgoes toMuye Science and Technologyto seeLi Mu, what partnerhandritualshouldhavetoLi Mu, heknows that the Chinapersonartpays a man back in his own coin, better too polite than not polite enough, brings a smallgift, sometimeswill play the effect of handling big issue with smart power;
第一,明天去牧野科技见李牧,应该给李牧带一个什么样的伴手礼,他知道华夏人讲究礼尚往来,正所谓礼多人不怪,带一份小礼物,有时候会起到四两拨千斤的功效;Second, 20minutesare too short, oneminutedoesto introduce oneself, oneminuteexchanged greetings, for oneminuteto representUS (America)andSilicon Valleysaidmodesty that severalwelcomearrived, oneminutebestowed the giftandoneminuteto lead into the subject the topic, even the efficiencyis high, butas beforefiveminuteswill be wasted, synthesizesto calculate,said the time of mattertruly, only then15minutes, howin 15 minutesas far as possiblemanychattingandsubjects, andmadeLi Mutooneself, to the Sequoiaimpressionprofound, becameEric Hanksat present the biggestdifficult problem.
第二,二十分钟时间太短,一分钟做自我介绍,一分钟寒暄、一分钟代表美国和硅谷说几句欢迎到来的客气话,一分钟赠送礼物、一分钟把话题带入正题,即便效率已经非常高,但依旧有五分钟的时间会被浪费,综合起来算,真正说事情的时间只有十五分钟,如何在15分钟里尽可能多的聊及正题,并且让李牧对自己、对红杉印象深刻,成了eri.hanks眼下最大的难题。Just likeEric Hanks, entireSilicon Valleyhas the investorsandLi Mu at least more than tenVenture Capitalenterprisessets the relevant issue that the next daymet.
与eri.hanks一样,整个硅谷有至少十多个风投企业的投资人与李牧定下了第二天见面的相关事宜。WhenEric HanksisLi Muprepares the partnerhandgift, hefromsomefriendthereheard,Li Muwill make more than tenVenture Capitalto meettomorrow, moreovereachis the standard20minutes, seems likeveryhasty , even if so, more than tengiving a cursory look and gaining shallow understandingchatsfastonestillat leasttakesseveralhours, the middlemoderatearrangementrelaxation time, justschedulesagaincompletelyday of operating time.
当eri.hanks为李牧准备好伴手礼物的时候,他才从一些业内朋友那里听说,李牧明天约了十多家风投见面,而且每一个都是标准的20分钟时间,看起来好像非常仓促,可即便如此,十多家走马观花的快速聊一遍也至少需要几个小时的时间,中间再适度安排休息时间的话,刚好把一天的工作时间全部安排出去。As the matter stands, the tomorrow'smeetinghasseveralpointsto foresee, in20minutes of meetingtime, certainly is very first difficult the willowyspace, oneselfmustusewellthese20minutes;NextLi MuthistimecomesUS (America), intends is too manyto the capital of face-to-face talk, regardless oftomorrow'sbeginningcontactwhetherenters the subjectto discuss the issue of financing, Li Mutakesoneto linkdiscussionin the finance program of US (America)finally.
这样一来,明天的会面有几点可以预见,首先在二十分钟的见面时间上,一定很难有弹性的空间,自己得好好利用这二十分钟;其次李牧这次来美国,有意向面谈的资本太多,无论明天的初接触是否直入正题谈融资的问题,最终李牧在美国的融资计划还是要一家连着一家的谈。Eric Hanksmade the investmentmanyyears, the experiencealwayssaid,heknowslikeMuye Science and Technology the ultrahigh-qualityinvestment planstarts, to knowto the presentfrom the internetbubbleextremelyrarelyallpeerswontoMuye Science and Technology, knows, once the enterprisemustconsult with the negotiationswithmanyVenture Capitalsimultaneously, person in charge of enterprisewas very easyto produceaestheticallyweary, ifdiscussedwere too many, perhapsLi Mu can only draw the weightcontrastthrough the initial pricewhen the time comesat heart, as the matter stands, wantsto encircle tightlyprominently can only byspendingmoremoney, this pressure on oneselfwas very big.eri.hanks做投资已经很多年了,经验老道,他知道像牧野科技这样的超优质投资项目从互联网泡沫开始到现在已经极少见到、知道所有同行都对牧野科技志在必得,也知道知道一旦企业要与同时多家风投接洽谈判,企业的负责人很容易产生审美疲劳,如果谈的太多,李牧到时候心里恐怕只能通过开价来进行衡量对比,这样一来,想突出重围就只能靠砸更多的钱,这对自己来说压力很大。Next morning, Li Muthengoes toMuye Science and Technologyfrom the hotelin the Silicon Valleyworklocation, inexactly 9 : 00 am local time, hethenstartsto meet with the approximatelygoodfirstwave of guest.
翌日一早,李牧便从酒店前往牧野科技在硅谷的办公场地,在当地时间上午 9 点整,他便开始会见自己约好的第一波客人。Regardingtoday'sintenseface-to-face talkarrangement, the Li Mubiggestgoalis the belt/bringbelt/bringrhythm, although the entireindustryknowsoneselfhave the finance program, buthedoes not haveto indicatewithanyVenture Capitalahead of timeoneselfpurpose in coming, quitesomestillhold the pipapartlyto obstructmeaning of surface, isthis, morecanmake the capitalsidefeelanxious and pressure.
对于今天密集的面谈安排,李牧最大的目标就是带带节奏,虽说整个行业都知道自己有融资计划,但是他没有提前跟任何一家风投表明自己的来意,颇有些犹抱琵琶半遮面的意味,越是这样,就越能让资本方感觉到紧张与压力。
The Eric Hanksless thantenpointshave arrived inMuye Science and Technologyin the Silicon Valleysubsidiary company, as a result to early, himhas not passed through the gateeagerly, butsits in owncar(riage)calculatesunceasinglyis seeingLi Mu, variouspossiblesituations.eri.hanks不到十点就已经抵达牧野科技在硅谷的分公司,由于到得早,他并没有急于进门,而是坐在自己的车里不断盘算着见到李牧后,各种可能发生的情况。Hehas not contactedLi Mu, butknows that Li Muworksdoes not toe the line, this pointfrom his timecomesUS (America) to see12not making a sound, heguessed that Li Mumaymake the primal chaoswithoneselftoday, there is a possibilityto enter the subjectto cometo be caught off guardtooneself, when regardingencounteringanysituationhowshoulddeal, hehas trainedmanytimes, onlywaitsto meetwithLi Mu, contestswithLi Muactually.
他没接触过李牧,但知道李牧做事不循规蹈矩,这一点从他这次不声不响来美国就能看出一二,他猜测李牧今天有可能跟自己打太极,也有可能直入正题给自己来个措手不及,对于遇到任何情况时应该如何应对,他心里已经演练过很多次,只等着跟李牧见面、跟李牧实际过招。
