61. The beginning of the channel situation

Shen Qiuling then asked, "Mr. Lu, Menggu Cloud Computing has not actually started to operate at present. What considerations did you base on choosing this field to start a business?"

Lu Zhou was in a bit of a dilemma. He clearly and euphemistically expressed that his business was not yet in operation and he did not need financing.

And Shen Qiuling's careful research seems to mean that he will not stop until the rumors are revealed.

He took a sip of coffee and sighed slightly, "Ms. Shen, to be honest, your question is a bit tricky. You put it so nicely, but I'm afraid that you will turn around and invest in several cloud computing companies. I'm not asking for trouble. Well?"

When Shen Qiuling heard this, he smiled and obviously realized that he was a little out of sorts, "Okay. Let me ask another question. Did Mr. Lu pay attention to the China IT Leaders Summit held in Zhennan last month?"

Lu Zhou naturally shook his head, "I have briefly read some reports, but I don't know the details."

After all, with the development of the Internet era, the number of this type of conferences is increasing year by year. Lu Zhou will review some classic and important conferences, but it is impossible to cover everything.

Shen Qiuling continued the topic just now, "In this meeting, Mr. Penguin Ma, Mr. Qiandu Li and Mr. Ali Ma discussed the topic of cloud computing."

Lu Zhou nodded and motioned for her to continue.

"Mr. Penguin Ma believes that it is too early to talk about cloud computing, while Mr. Li bluntly said that cloud computing is just old wine in new bottles and there is nothing new."

"So? You think the possibility of Menggu succeeding in cloud computing is not high, right?"

Shen Qiuling nodded.

Lu Zhou laughed. Since Penguin and Qiandu were mentioned, why not mention Ali?

"I think if you didn't mention the other Mr. Ma, then he must have mentioned something good. Why don't we talk about what he said."

Shen Qiuling obviously did not expect Lu Zhou to think so, but he still said it, "Completely opposite opinions. 'If we don't do it, we will die in the future.' These were his exact words. Didn't Mr. Lu just say that? Are you paying attention?"

And Lu Zhou thought to himself, I really didn't pay attention, but attitude determines development.

"Let me put it from another perspective.

In terms of pony, it is from the perspective of product form, that is, the cloud is infrastructure, and the computing power in the future will be the same as water and electricity. So the future is very far away.

Robin talks about it in terms of technology. "Cloud" is originally a structural concept. Since the Internet era, all services are actually "cloud". From a technical perspective, it is true that the "cloud" nowadays is based on the old existence. technical means.

As for Jack, what he is discussing is only the business model of "cloud". In other words, he refers to the ecosystem of independent developers and small and medium-sized Internet companies. To put it bluntly, he refers to making money from these people.

In fact, they are both right, but the difference in perspective leads to differences in strategic emphasis.

Of course, as far as Menggu Cloud Computing is concerned, I cannot reveal more. I wonder if Ms. Shen is satisfied with this answer?"

Shen Qiuling couldn't help laughing after hearing Lu Zhou's rhetorical question, "Mr. Lu is an ambitious young man. I think you should be invited to be a guest at the summit."

Of course, Lu Zhou's words really shocked Shen Qiuling, but after all, she was just an investment manager, and it was difficult to figure out technical issues.

In fact, this is also an anxiety of capital.

No one wants to miss out. Even if they miss a round, they can still find a way to let another fool take over.

So even if everyone doesn't understand cloud computing, they are still willing to send out their free money.

"Okay, Mr. Lu, this question ends here. I would like to ask, Menggu Advertising, do you have the intention to transfer and realize your personal shares?"

Lu Zhou was not surprised that Shen Qiuling didn't ask about WeChat, probably because she felt that socializing was a dead end.

But then again, are you going to transfer and monetize the Dream Valley advertisement now? Lu Zhou really doesn’t know if she is stupid or he is stupid.

"sorry, we do not have that."

Shen Qiuling asked with the intention of giving it a try, so she was not surprised when she heard Lu Zhou's answer.

"About Peas, I have something to remind Mr. Lu."

Lu Zhou couldn't figure out what medicine was being sold in Shen Qiuling's gourd, "Please tell me."

"Wandou is considering raising Series A financing in the next month or two."

Lu Zhou was only amused, "Is this a kind reminder?"

Shen Qiuling said meaningfully, "Forget it."

After Lu Zhou heard this, he just opened the top cover of his notebook again. Whether Shen Qiuling's words were a kind reminder or a threat, Lu Zhou would not change the current pace of Menggu advertising.

"Thank you. Let's stop talking now, I have other things to be busy with."

After hearing this, Shen Qiuling did not feel that Lu Zhou was rude, but nodded, "Okay. Goodbye."

...

Lu Zhou didn't leave the beverage shop until half an hour after Shen Qiuling left.

He went to the smoking room of the airport, lit a cigarette, and dialed Fang Qiang's number.

"Hey, Brother Lu."

"Qiangzi, I want to tell you something."

"Okay, you tell me, I'll listen."

"The recent banana results need to be promoted to the media. Get the data from Zhou Wen, ask Xiaotong to find the promotion, and apply to Xiaoqin for the budget. You will go to work on Monday to make arrangements. I have sent you an email with specific requirements, please check. one time."

Fang Qiang responded, "There's no problem with this. I'll send the copy to you for review on Monday."

"Okay. Let's do this for now. I'll get on the plane later."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou murmured, "I don't care if you are kind or not, I will give you a king first."

According to Lu Zhou’s plan, Dream Valley Advertising does not need financing in the short term.

His original idea was to follow the rules and allow Menggu Advertising, a cash cow and future channel, to develop stably in order to cope with future WeChat battles.

But he underestimated his opponent's reaction, and history has quietly changed under the flapping of his wings.

Lu Zhou remembered that in the previous development of Wandou, DCM Capital was introduced in Round A in 2011, led by Creative Works.

Wandou’s move to advance its A-round round is nothing more than accelerating its recruitment expansion. The Creative Works’ reminder is nothing more than an attempt to dissuade Lu Zhou.

The subtext of the creative workshop: 91 cannot be killed, at least NetDragon is behind it. And your background in Luzhou is just a blank slate, and Menggu’s power is still small, so you can’t blame me for bullying customers.

If Lu Zhou accepted the other party's reminder, it would be nothing more than Creative Works operating from it, allowing Wandou to annex Menggu.

If Lu Zhou doesn't accept it, then Creative Workshop can advance Wandou's financing time so that Wandou has more capital to expand the market.

If you accept it, then I will eat you. If you don’t accept it, then I will kill you with money.

For creative workshops, this is a business in itself.

It has the dual attributes of incubation and venture capital. If you put your money into it, you will always see a return.

In the meantime, it may be Wandou Wangjun's intention for Shen Qiuling to convey, or it may be the employer's creative workshop's suggestion.

After all, NetDragon's operations are right in front of them, and Creative Workshop probably wants to imitate them.

Previously, Lu Zhou asked Fang Qiang to reverse engineer the "iphone suite". This software was the predecessor of 91. NetDragon purchased it from Xiong Jun for only 100,000 yuan, and Xiong Jun was also recruited into the 91 team.

What makes Lu Zhou sigh is that just this month, Xiong Jun officially broke up with 91, and three years later, 91 will be sold to Qiandu for a price of US$1.9 billion.
