Mid-month.

Lu Zhou received an email from Lin Xinhe. The matter was very interesting. The story was about Lashou.com, an emerging group buying company in the industry.

Last year, Gaopeng.com in the United States caused a lot of group buying websites. Lashou.com was established almost at the same time as Menggu Advertising. It raised $5 million in June last year and $50 million at the end of December. In recent days, Lin Xinhe received news that he had another financing, with a financing amount of up to $110 million, and an overall valuation of more than 1.1 billion.

Compared to Mengguang, it is much crazy. In just one year, it has begun to be planned to go public.

Although Lin Xin and the email looked a bit like urging Lu Zhou, Lu Zhou knew that the company was living a bit miserable future.

Lu Zhou first talked about his ideas about group buying, and then posted some data about Meng Guang's recent statements, and replied to Lin Xinhe.

2011 was like a year of recovery. The economic crisis in 2008, the European debt crisis in 2009, and the morning light in 2010. The capital market, which has been silent for a long time, has begun to be popular this year. Not to mention overseas, Internet companies that have made better domestic affairs have started their listing journeys. Qihoo, Renren, Tudou, and fate are all competing to go on stage.

Following up is the iPo journey of Lashou.com. The more fatal ones, the peers report their financial fraud in the middle. This may not be true. After all, they are incredible losses and they really can't see the fraud.

However, "financial fraud, exaggeration of facts, and poor profitability" has become a real label on Chinese stocks listed in the United States, and even indirectly led to Thunder and Sheng, which are raising IPO, later cancelled their listing plans due to their unsatisfactory valuation.

"At least in the second half of the year, I shouldn't see companies going public in the United States." Lu Zhou looked up and thought.

In the hustle and bustle and bustle, I am still a little fish.

The key is to let the giants target the little fish.

Before and after, Alibaba Qiandu Penguin Capital has come to inquire about financing matters many times.

But he really couldn't figure it out. He obviously wanted it very much and wanted to lick it, but his cold attitude was very strange. He could not accept all the terms even if he changed his institution.

When the trouble comes to this point, it is still the war that should be fought, and no one will be left behind.

The Alibaba Cloud series has completed a series of internal betas and public betas, officially launched the official website, and launched a series of products.

Another giant that has made the road boat anxious.

In 2011, Lu Zhou was still working in Huiteng. When did Alibaba Cloud go online? Lu Zhou was Menqing. It was nearly three months earlier than that time. It was probably scared Meng Guyun's prosperity.

But in terms of appearance, it is still the same as Luzhou saw before. In the early days, Alibaba Cloud should have been a lump, but it was still the same lump, and there was no need to brag, it was all awesome in the future.

The user control panel is empty, the operationality is very insufficient, and the supporting customer service has not yet kept up. The product positioning and price have been repeated again and again, and the activities are quite fancy, which is really like doing e-commerce at home. As for the effect, Luzhou is not very clear.

If it is the only benefit, it is probably that the cost-effectiveness is pretty good, but it looks a bit like a joke in front of Meng Guyun.

Of course, I dare not have a contemptuous attitude.

Where is Menggu Yunqiang? At the software level, cloud computing management and operating system, and the management backend that users directly contact. It is not that they are far ahead, but the difference in generation gaps in half a year should be similar. In addition, Menggu Yun was one of the first companies to participate in the openstack open source alliance, and its accumulation is slightly better than Alibaba Cloud.

Especially the growth of a series of business growth of WeChat and Chuangmeng continues to put pressure on the entire system, and Old Wen is always trying to get back on the string.

What about Alibaba Cloud? The rich second generation, no worries about servers, resources, money, and people.

This is all about Menggu Yunque's things.

If you really want to be despised, you would be a little more presumptuous. After all, Alibaba Cloud attaches great importance to being born three months in advance, but the other party attaches great importance to it.

I thought so, but Luzhou would not be too slandered. After Menggu Yunjing swallowed the brilliance, it was considered that although the sparrow had all the small organs, the ability to expand after the upstream and downstream was cleared.

Especially at the end of the first quarter, after integrating a series of resources such as Phaeton's original servers, venues, personnel, etc., Mengguyun has gradually added a lot of server resources in China. The revenue in March has increased by nearly three times compared with the first two months, and its quarterly revenue exceeded 100 million. As expected, the next second quarter will be able to continue to have a revenue growth of 100%.

Not long ago, Lu Zhou also considered starting to operate land directly in the north as a land for future construction of data centers. But after thinking too much, he temporarily pressed it. At least when the bidding for Guangnan Data Center is over, the first payment will be given. It is too tight to be too tight, and a panic is the lack of business, and a problem will occur in minutes.

After a little calculation, this will be carried out in the second half of the year. If there is no accident.

"Lingling..."

When Lu Zhou saw that it was the inside phone call from Song Wenhui.

"Hey, Brother Song."

Song Wenhui, "In this way, the computer room of the United States has been arranged, and now some of them have been delivered to Xuwei for debugging."

Lu Zhou, "I understand this situation. Your assistant came down to submit a report. No problem, you can arrange it directly. After Lao Wen finished debugging, it was still the previous one. Go to WeChat first and have plenty of computing power before opening it."

Song Wenhui, "Okay. I understand this. It is mainly to tell you the arrangements for the next node. According to the current quarterly revenue growth, while ensuring domestic investment, you can indeed bear another overseas node.

I lowered the corresponding budget to a certain extent and divided it into two batches."

After all, it’s still a small amount of money. Only when the revenue is increased can Old Song dare to make it in.

Song Wenhui continued, "In terms of the region, it was initially determined to be Europe or Japan. It was mainly considered that the WeChat publication required the local smartphone share and the popularity of 3g. I and I sent people to discuss on both sides, and everything was subject to the actual situation."

Road boat, "Yes."

Song Wenhui, "But there are still some things that need to be paid attention to. Mengguyun currently analyzes it in different regions, and it is mainly that domestic nodes are generating profits. Overseas, taking Singapore nodes as an example, the current revenue of WeChat and other open businesses cannot offset the cost. Short-term losses are OK, but if I need to bear long-term losses, I also need to re-formulate some strategies to transition."

Well, Lu Zhou himself thinks about the long-term and does not care about short-term gains and losses, but it is impossible to just look at the future if he really runs a company. After all, if he spends domestic profits to expand overseas business, the losses must be large. If he doesn't dare to do this business that is not over.

"Okay. I understand this. You can let go, come up with a plan, and solve it at the meeting."
