262. Chairman
The next day, on board Air China.
Wang Qiangdong sat in the middle of the three-way seat, Zhou Da was by the window, and strange passengers were on the side.
As for Zhou Kai and Shao Yue, they naturally sat in a row, in the back row of Wang Qiangdong.
"Sir, is it convenient to change seats?"
Wang Qiangdong heard a familiar voice when he saw the owner of the voice communicating with the strange passenger beside him.
Zhou Da had to shrugged Wang Qiangdong, so he had to shrugg.
Seeing that Wang Lina sat down, Wang Qiangdong said, "Why, I can't stand the loneliness for several hours?"
Wang Lina glanced at the top of the cabin with her eyes squinting eyes, "If you don't go over, I'll change it."
"Okay." Wang Qiangdong pretended to be stupid.
......
Science and Technology Park.
Lu Zhou was sitting in the new office and was a little uncomfortable.
A few days ago, Menggu Advertising entered the B round of financing, adding several new departments, and the personnel also expanded their enrollment. The original venue was obviously not enough, so Wang Wenjun rented the rest of the free office on this floor.
This room is the office specially left by Wang Wenjun for Lu Zhou.
The office of the "Chairman" is not big, with an office desk, several rows of bookshelves, a screen, and an assistant station behind it.
But thinking about it, Lu Zhou can understand Wang Wenjun's approach. The company's boss sat in the employees to write code every day, which was not as serious as it was.
In particular, when new employees of the company see their boss who are too approachable, they will inevitably be weirder.
It is just that it is easy to communicate among employees, but it becomes a little troublesome when you arrive at the office.
After calming down his mood, Lu Zhou didn't take this seriously. He first logged into the code warehouse to check the progress, and then clicked on the work email to check it out.
Now, the development of the three companies in Menggu is different.
Menggu Advertising's main business is basically rarely updated and very stable. Occasionally, there are only updates of client apps, and there are few adjustments in the general direction of the business.
In addition, in the application market, the two earliest players, 91 and Pea, are not very competitive. Mengguang's one-acre three-point land is the most stable among the three companies, Luzhou.
Lu Zhou held his cheek and recalled some memories, and an important incident came to his mind, "Qiandu acquired 91 Assistant for US$1.9 billion."
If Menggu Advertising and the banana market continue to expand the market and maintain their leading position in the industry, the protagonist of this matter may become a banana, or Qiandu will not spend a high price of 1.9 billion to acquire 91.
The banana market is obviously not suitable. Now there is a cooperative sand sculpture advertising project between Mengguang and Weixun. Seeing that the content ecosystem of the official account is slowly starting, Mengguang will definitely be able to enjoy this wave of WeChat in the future, so even if there is a higher price in a few years, Luzhou will not be able to sell it.
If this is true, Luzhou can only choose to go public on its own. The time naturally has to be chosen in that 1314 years.
The popularity of the mobile application market was around 1314. At that time, mobile phone manufacturers were still busy laying out shipments, and their own channels had not yet developed. In terms of valuation, they should be able to achieve a level similar to 91 Assistant back then.
I have some preparations, such as quickly pushing Dream Valley Advertising into the B round, asking Wang Wenjun to raise the review committee and supervision department, hire independent non-executive directors, etc.
But in the end, it depends on the development of Menggu Advertising in the next two years. It is simple to hold on to the top position. If you can't, you may have to wait until the micro-information is launched before internal mergers.
As for cloud computing, it really makes Luzhou feel a little headache.
Especially in the Singapore node, it is not difficult to see that going overseas is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, and the time and communication costs are quite high.
If you want to go abroad, you can't stop at home. As Ma Yun said, you can't get rid of one billion a year.
But it will take several years to improve if you really look at the profit.
But after all, Mengguyun's overseas progress is closely related to WeChat's overseas decision-making. At least in the next two years.
Wherever Weixun wants to go, Meng Guyun has to march first, and this is the pace.
Only after meeting the WeChat message, Mengguyun will open up the redundant computing power and sell it.
"Lingling..."
Before Luzhou could sort out the situation of the WeChat message, a rapid cell phone ringtone interrupted Luzhou's thoughts.
"Good afternoon, I'm Ma Huateng."
Road boat, "..."
Hearing Ma Huateng's tone, Lu Zhou really didn't know what his sudden call meant.
"Hello, Mr. Ma."
Unexpectedly, Ma Huateng was not vague and made a single move. "2 billion 50 million cash, 1 billion Penguin stocks, and 500 million restricted shares. Penguin acquired WeChat all-in-owned."
Lu Zhou smiled when he heard this, and naturally there was no need to ask the currency unit. If it was Hong Kong dollars or RMB, then Ma Huateng would be really confused.
The price is quite thick. The valuation of WeChat's A round of only 200 million yuan was increased by 10 times.
"Mr. Ma, everyone understands it. It's just the end of March. If you spend a few more months, WeChat will soon be able to break 100 million. The scarf should be as fast as us."
Ma Huateng, "Okay. Then I'll wait and see."
“Doudu…”
The whole call lasted only two minutes.
How could Ma Huateng not understand? Lu Zhou smiled, it was just to try his luck.
Of course, Penguin's stock will also turn up several times according to its future development. But in the end, doing it yourself is different from lying down to watch others do it.
For Luzhou, enjoying this process may be more important than the final result.
Lu Zhouxiao put his cell phone at the table.
WeChat will soon exceed 50 million users. Judging from the current growth rate, it is expected to exceed 100 million users by August and September this year.
There is no doubt that this is the fastest growth rate ever. If we want to count Southeast Asia's March results, it's far more than that.
In terms of daily use of users, the total number of messages sent and received in China every day exceeded one billion early, and the entire server system needs to process 700,000 conversation information per second.
80 million pictures are posted daily in Moments, and more than 300,000 users post pictures and likes on Moments every second during peak periods.
The service crowd is everywhere, spread throughout China.
The public account has registered a total of 200,000 people, and 20,000 active content creators, generating more than 10,000 articles every day. Of which 40% of the creators have obtained a fee share with the help of sand sculpture advertisements. In just one month, the total share amount reached 20 million.
In most cases, the outside world does not know, so it depends on speculation. But I think this is also the reason why Ma Huateng came to try his luck.
......
However, everything has just begun.
Especially Weixun’s overseas pace has just taken off.
If you let go of the boat like this, it would be a bit too much fun.
Chapter completed!
