Lu Zhou was not surprised when Wen Xuwei said he was not interested in coming to Meng Valley.

After all, they worked together for so long in their previous life, and even after they left the company, they still kept in touch. Naturally, he knew Wen Xuwei's temperament.

For Wen Xuwei, in-depth technology is what attracts him more, and even if Lu Zhou mentioned that he wanted to do cloud computing, this bargaining chip was obviously not enough to attract Wen Xuwei to change jobs.

"Brother Wen, let me ask you a question."

Lu Zhou asked Wen Xuwei, "What do you think are the advantages of cloud computing compared to traditional server leasing?"

Wen Xuwei gave the answer almost without thinking, "Cheap. Suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and developers."

Lu Zhou nodded, "Yes. For users whose business needs are less than one physical machine, this is the most affordable solution. And it can be processed more flexibly when adjusting the business."

"Second question. If Phaeton develops a corresponding cloud computing platform, how should it be priced?

For example, the original monthly rent for a physical machine is 5,000, which is divided into ten cloud servers.

Should the total rent of these ten units be higher than 5,000, or lower than 5,000?"

Wen Xuwei thought about this issue for a while.

"From a reasonable point of view, it should be lower, because the original intention is cost-effectiveness. But Phaeton itself has invested manpower, material resources and funds in research and development, so it should not be lower from Phaeton's perspective."

Lu Zhou couldn't help but secretly sigh, Wen Xuwei is still Wen Xuwei, and his views on issues in his professional field are quite accurate.

"The third question. If there is a service provider with a lower price on the market, and the price is much lower than 5,000, how should Phaeton respond?"

"Impossible!" Wen Xuwei said almost decisively.

"This doesn't make sense."

At this time, the waiter was serving food.

Lu Zhou was not in a hurry and said slowly, "Suppose that this service provider has its own business and needs a large number of servers to cope with peak demand, but it usually has a large number of redundant servers?"

"this?"

Wen Xuwei thought for a while and realized that what Lu Zhou was referring to was nothing more than several large Internet companies in China.

But he still tried to refute Lu Zhou's hypothesis, "Phaeton also has a high idle rate. The price issue does not hold true."

"There is an essential difference between the so-called idleness of the two. The former is brought about by its own business needs, while Phaeton was decided by Lao Song's own ideas. In fact, you also understand that since Lao Song decided to enter cloud computing, a large amount of profits have been transformed into

Server assets. It’s a real bayonet fight and a judgment call.”

Lu Zhou then continued, "Then again, there are hundreds of millions of users, the load capacity of the server is different, and the technical depth is also very different."

"Brother Wen, after asking so many questions, you should understand in your heart. Let me be honest here.

From the time I started working under you, I knew that sooner or later you would leave Phaeton.

Phaeton Temple is too small to accommodate a great god like you."

Wen Xuwei was happy when he heard this, "Why does it sound like you are praising yourself?"

Lu Zhou said haha ​​and waved his chopsticks in greeting.

"Haha, you can't. Talk while eating, don't wait for the food to get cold."

Wen Xuwei did not take action, but straightened his expression and said to Lu Zhou, "You have reached this point, I also want to ask you a few questions."

When Lu Zhou heard this, he put down his chopsticks and said, "Okay, Brother Wen, please tell me."

"First, if Phaeton can't do it, why can your Menggu do it?"

"Menggu Advertising, combined with the future banana market, will gather a group of developers, and these developers will definitely need server resources. These developers can divert traffic to the cloud computing business. To put it bluntly, Menggu has its own business needs and certain requirements.

user base.”

"Second, you mentioned the carrying problem. Do you have other plans for the next step? Don't fool me with the two businesses in Menggu just now."

Lu Zhou only said two words, "Communication."

Wen Xuwei was a little disbelieving and asked in a puzzled tone, "Penguin?"

Lu Zhou nodded, and Wen Xuwei, who saw Lu Zhou's confirmation, felt like his heart was shaking. He was so shocked by Lu Zhou's crazy idea that he didn't know what to say.

As long as they are engaged in the Internet, no one will know the power of Penguin and want to make trouble in the social field of Penguin?

How satisfying is this, how many times do you want to die before you choose to start a business in this field?

After a long time, Wen Xuwei pinched his thigh, picked up the food with bowls and chopsticks, and started eating with big mouthfuls.

He said vaguely, "Either I'm dreaming, or you're crazy."

Lu Zhou also started eating together, and he responded with a smile, "That's just right, let's go crazy together."

"Last question, how far do you think you can achieve it?"

"If we gather people together, we will reach one billion within five or six years."

Wen Xuwei responded speechlessly, "RMB is still the U.S. dollar, why don't you brag without drafting it?"

"I mean a billion users."

"..."

Lu Zhou couldn't help but complain, "Otherwise, I'd be mentally ill to provoke Penguin. If I want to do it, I'll have to fight him to the end."

"You're the one asking me how far I can go. It's boring to say it's too simple. I won't tease you. Now there are a lot of developers and users connected to Menggu, with sales of 600,000 in two weeks.

The unit price is 10 cents, so you can calculate the approximate traffic volume yourself.”

Wen Xuwei suddenly choked and hit his chest, "Ahem, cough, cough. What?"

"That's true, Brother Wen. It will be expanded in a while. I really hope you can come. You must also want to explore more in-depth technologies. Menggu is more suitable for you from every angle."

Lu Zhou continued, “The early planning of Menggu Cloud Computing is a two-step process.

The first step is SaaS, which provides developers with statistical analysis and operational analysis tools.

The second step is to make the application engine. I won’t say anything else. Lao Song’s application engine is still letting you just do research. I’m going to start working on it directly.

You weigh it yourself."

"really?"

"Can I still lie to you? I have prepared the framework design plan and product documentation."

Wen Xuwei's eyes immediately lit up after hearing this, "What are you going to do? Can you let me take a look first?"

Lu Zhou didn't have time to write, so he just deceived Wen Xuwei's words first, and what he had was just sketches and thoughts in his head.

"We'll wait until you confirm that you're coming. Business secrets."

Wen Xuwei was speechless, "The secret of fart, you won't die if you take a look at it."

"Come on, let's wait until you come. I have to work hard to poach you, and I have to worry about whether I will be beaten to death by Old Song later."

"Let me think about it."

Lu Zhou was not in a hurry, "Okay."

After the two of them finished eating and dispersed, Wen Xuwei returned home and continued the work of investigating the heart wave application engine last night.

But Lu Zhou's words always lingered in his mind.

And he kept thinking about how to implement this part of the function according to Lu Zhou's statement.
Chapter completed!
