Ma Huateng was sitting in the car, and the car passed by Central at this time. He looked up and saw that the advertisements for some buildings had not been removed.

It's an advertisement for Penguin scarf. It should have been hung up earlier.

He sat upright again, and Penguin wanted to acquire scarf users in Xiangjiang? Of course not, this is just to tell investors in Central: Penguin has not yet lost on the scarf battlefield!

Of course, as far as we are concerned, such advertisements are not very meaningful. Recently, Penguin's stock price has also fluctuated quite recently.

Especially, he got the news this morning that WeChat immediately estimated a high price of US$2.3 billion. Is it reasonable? It is not that reasonable. Because if WeChat says revenue and profits are far from supporting such a price.

But what Luzhou takes is a good hand. Here, expectation will naturally raise the price. WeChat is steadily suppressing Penguin WeChat! This is an indisputable fact.

It’s 50 million yuan in monthly active users! Between Penguin WeChat and Menggu WeChat!

Ma Huateng was very moved. It seemed that a few months were only a few months earlier, but the "quality" of the time before and after was not equal.

Of course, if Lu Zhou was here, he could always comfort Brother Ma: at least 20 million more than in his previous life, this is the increase you have made in advance.

Ma Huateng didn't think much about it and took out his notebook from the other side, but as soon as he opened it, an email made him so angry again.

Whatsapp rejects Penguin’s offer!

Ma Huateng sighed slightly. Although he had expected it, he felt a little empty when the other party implemented it.

Whatsapp knew that he had already taken the pen of Sequoia for eight million dollars. No matter how Sequoia was soft and hard, the team was unwilling to ask for money. Others Sequoia had invested in a round, and they were all disappointed, not to mention Ma Huateng, who was not very involved in any way, went to try his luck.

Their team is in the United States and their business is expanding in five continents. Penguin has some money, but what they lack is resources other than money.

Ma Huateng thought about it and remembered correctly. In the B round of WeChat, it was Sequoia China? As for the follow-up investment, it was Menggu’s own Dream Fund.

Brother Ma looked jealous, but he didn't have the chance to quit. And this Weibo message is really a good attitude of not leaving any other people's fields.

"You can't just fall in love with Sequoia and whatsapp's connection?!" Ma Huateng suddenly thought.

Then he immediately called his assistant, "WiXin's overseas business situation, immediately summarize all the information that can be collected, and I will send me an email before I arrive at the company!"

He hung up the phone and held his hands in front of his chest.

As for people, I am afraid that I am too smart and can find the truth of things by relying on intuition alone. As for what I fear the most, it is that things are beyond the scope of my control.

He thought that if WeChat and whatsapp are really hot overseas, it would be impossible for WeChat to really get excited about whatsapp. Sequoia wanted to enter whatsapp but couldn't get in. Lu Zhou shook the flag and opened the door, so he had to fool whatsapp and give him a priority for the next round of investment?!

Everyone was so happy! Even Ma Huateng admired himself for being able to make up for this "trick"!

Ma Huateng bit his index finger, this damn Murphy's law.

......

Hangzhou Ali.

Ma Yun looked at his subordinates and said, "You need to give me a reason."

His tone was a bit heavy, "How many years have Alipay been working in the payment field? Why, I asked why, can Menggu Payment clear and fast payment faster than Alipay?"

The leader of Alipay looked a little embarrassed.

This year, the Alipay spin-off incident was in full swing. The group itself and Yahoo SoftBank are still fighting internally, which means that it has no impact, that is really a lie!

What's more, the Alipay business is also the fuse of the entire incident, so it would be strange if it can be unaffected.

Of course, at most, it would be unwise to say it as an excuse.

"Mr. Ma. Alipay will be launched soon for quick payment, you can rest assured."

Ma Yun, “When?”

Subordinate, "within two weeks."

He also said, "Alipay is currently connecting with many banks. In addition to the four state-owned banks, other commercial banks are also discussing related solutions. It is much more difficult for us to unanimously align the complete set of solutions.

Menggu has only two banks to support it. The next docking speed is faster than Menggu Payment."

After hearing this, Ma Yun nodded slightly and barely understood the difficulties of Alipay. After all, in the storm of "fighting tigers", the storm has not yet subsided, so he can't blame him too much.

"Okay. Go down and notify me before going online."

Although Ma Yun was very upset when paying quickly to Menggu first, there was no idea if it was too much.

Although WeChat Pay has a large number of users because of its large base, its application scenario is there. Menggu does not have an e-commerce system, so it can only charge the phone bill or transfer a payment to friends.

To say threats, there is no threat.

As for getting angry, it is naturally its potential that makes people feel uneasy.

According to the information provided by the group, WeChat Pay actually tried to promote offline payments in several major cities.

But it is really "Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone". Although it is quite small, the implicit meaning is too big.

Ma Yun is considering many issues, especially cloud computing that worries him the most.

At this time, it has been several months since Alibaba Cloud officially opened and launched, but in terms of actual results, it is really a big disadvantage compared to Mengguyun.

After a while, Hu Xiaoming walked into Ma Yun's office.

Hu Xiaoming, "Mr. Ma. Let me talk about the situation of Alibaba Cloud. Recently, Alibaba Cloud's service quality has been improved to a certain extent."

Ma Yun was a little surprised, "Oh? Is there any good progress on the doctor's side?"

Hu Xiaoming shook his head slightly and said, "No."

"Since this year, Mengguyun has submitted a large number of open source projects to various software foundations, including top-notch projects. Thanks to these reliable components, Alibaba Cloud has reduced a lot of trial and error time."

After hearing this, Ma Yun became open-minded, "That's a good thing. I still have to thank the other party."

Although he also knew that the reason why Hu Xiaoming mentioned this was simple: Mengguyun could share everything Alibaba Cloud could not do, but what was not? It can be understood that Alibaba Cloud has been abandoned for a distance.

And these factors affect more than these.

Mengguyun started the commercialization process as early as 10 years ago. From the aspects of personnel system training, pre-sales and after-sales sales, hardware supply, site management, etc., Alibaba Cloud is now inferior to that.

Alibaba Cloud and Ma Yun are indeed clamoring for "one billion a year". But now, the money you invest in Alibaba Cloud in just one year is not necessarily as much as Menggu Cloud.

Mengguyun last September, US$15 million, US$100 million in December, and US$25 million at the beginning of this month. Mengguyun's investment in just one year is more than one billion, and the revenue has not yet been counted.

Ma Yun, "It should be used. Alibaba is not afraid of chasing. You can learn to go and see the real chapter in the future!"

As for where is toughness coming from?

Lao Ma sneered in his heart.

The sales team and offline network that have been hard-working for more than ten years are there. Alibaba is born to start with B2B! In terms of this, no one dares not believe it.

As for internationalization? If Alibaba says that it is the best international Internet company, no one dares to clamor for the top!

After the tiger inside was settled, he didn't believe that Lu Zhou was really capable of resisting it.
Chapter completed!
