70. Vanity Fair
After Lu Zhou waited for Fang Qiang to leave, he turned on his computer and checked two important code source warehouses of Menggu Advertising.
Because both the advertising platform and the Banana Market have been officially commercialized, the code repository can only be accessed internally through Menggu Company.
Specifically, there is a local test warehouse. After members develop, they can push it directly to the warehouse and test server to test new functions. Once you want to upload the official function to the commercial server, you need permission from Fang Qiang.
This is also considered from a security perspective. First, it prevents code leakage, and second, it reduces errors in commercial versions.
Lu Zhou usually operates through remote access to the personal computer within his company, but because the company moved to a new location last Friday, it was naturally shut down and unable to check the progress of Dream Valley.
Lu Zhou flipped through the historical versions of the two code libraries.
As Fang Qiang continues to iterate in depth, the advertising platform is no longer limited to a single CPI model, but provides more diverse advertising models.
In another warehouse, 91 Xiong Jun's previous works have been reverse-engineered, and the iOS version of Banana is also being developed intensively. The desktop version of the PC connection was started early, and Lu Zhou once wrote part of it, so it has been online for users.
used.
Lu Zhou exclaimed, "Not bad, very good. I didn't miss anything I should have done."
After Lu Zhou finished reviewing, Meng Xiaoqin and Tang Yutong returned to the company together. Tang Yutong saw Lu Zhou in b212 and jumped up to him.
"Senior! I'm finally back." Tang Yutong greeted Lu Zhou with a smile.
Meng Xiaoqin also walked over slowly, "You didn't keep us busy, senior. Even the phone was turned off. I felt like my phone was going to explode on Monday!"
Lu Zhou was not annoyed, he laughed and joked, "Well, so I will turn off the phone and leave it to you, the general manager. After all, if I am injured by the bomb, Menggu will be in trouble."
Meng Xiaoqin also laughed. After all, it was just a joke between the two of them.
"Senior, I will send you a document later. There are two aspects of the matter. A total of six institutions and four online media want to talk to you personally. Because you have been away, we put it on hold. Then President Song and the director of Phaeton College are also looking for
you."
Lu Zhou was a little stunned when he heard this. Thinking about it carefully, the venture capital investment world is nothing more than Vanity Fair.
They invest in good products and also favor famous teams, and they prefer a founder who can tell stories.
A good product is the foundation. It is the foundation. The team has a good background, and it is easier to promote it than an unknown person like Google or Microsoft. A typical example of a founder who can tell stories is Mr. Ali Ma.
The so-called "telling stories" means abstracting away the essence of things and summarizing them into a concept, leaving a lot of room for the audience's imagination.
For example, Pony said that cloud computing is still far away, Robin said that old wine is put in new bottles, but Jack said, "If we don't do cloud computing, Alibaba will die."
Whenever Lu Zhou recalled Mr. Alima's words, he felt that his level of "storytelling" was already natural. First of all, it was a gimmick, and the audience would have questions as soon as they heard it, "Even Ali will die? Why?"
As for how to make it round and whether it can work, that is not the business of venture capital investors.
For venture capital, this type of founder can popularize his ideas. Even if he takes the money and the operation does not work well, it will be easier to find another company to take over.
So what about Luzhou?
Menggu has a product, and it makes millions a week. It can be said that the product has gone through certain market tests.
Although the team is unknown, the advantage is that it is still starting a business in school, and it has a certain topic. The good talk is about "dream youth", the bad talk is about "should college students start a business", and the "success rate of dropouts and entrepreneurship in China and the United States" in education.
...
The most important thing is that Menggu proposed the subtle word "ecology". If you think about it carefully, "developers + upstream + industrial chain", a set of combinations seems to clearly explain the development strategies of today's Internet companies, both overtly and covertly.
For venture capital investors, this is a fantastic capital story.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Menggu to be sought after by capital and online media. People are not afraid that what you say is unreasonable, but they are afraid that if you start a business, it will be like a stewed melon. On the contrary, they are more happy to see you with a bigger mouth and crazier behavior.
"Okay. Let the several venture capital investors put it aside for now. I'll contact Xinlang about the online media. After all, the news was sent through them before, so let's reciprocate. Xiaotong, you can arrange this." Lu Zhou said.
After confirming that everything was normal in Menggu, Lu Zhou got up and left, preparing to finish other things he had left behind during his retreat.
"I'll go to Director Yuan's office first, you guys are busy."
After saying that, Lu Zhou left b212. The experimental building was not far from the college office building, so Lu Zhou could reach it in a few steps on foot.
He knocked on the door of Yuan Haizhou's office and waited until Yuan Haizhou said "come in" before Lu Zhou entered the door.
Yuan Haizhou, who was still working on copywriting just now, noticed that when Lu Zhou came to visit, his old face was full of smiles, and the wrinkles on his face became more obvious, looking like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"Ah ha ha. Classmate Lu Zhou, come here. Come on, sit down." Yuan Haizhou stood up and greeted Lu Zhou cordially.
Lu Zhou nodded and replied calmly, "Hello, director."
Anyway, after the first few contacts and clearing up Yuan Haizhou's path, Lu Zhou also felt that he was just a bureaucrat and a snobbery. In addition, he was now considered a "school" person, so he really couldn't get angry with this old Yuan.
"Menggu Technology, Mr. Lu did a very good job! He really became famous a few days ago."
"Thank you, director, for the compliment." Lu Zhou replied with a smile.
Yuan Haizhou crossed his hands and continued, "The college is very satisfied with your performance. As for this, Menggu Technology's current results were achieved under the leadership of the college, so there is something that requires the cooperation of Student Lu."
Lu Zhou was very happy when he heard this. Yuan Haizhou was old and shameless. Although Lu Zhou didn't mind using himself to gain fame for the college, he still wanted to do it in a certain way.
But Youdao would not hit anyone with a smiling face. Yuan Haizhou smiled brightly at this time, and Lu Zhou could not get angry at this time. "It won't be too late to refuse after hearing it if it is too much."
"Director, please speak."
"The college is preparing a series of entrepreneurship lectures recently. I just wonder if it would be convenient for Mr. Lu to give a speech on stage." Yuan Haizhou said, stroking his thumbs.
After listening to Yuan Haizhou's words, Lu Zhou couldn't help but sigh that "real villains" have their own way of survival. Since Menggu Technology started its business, Yuan Haizhou has really not caused any trouble to Lu Zhou.
It's really nothing but a speech.
"Okay director, there is no problem with this." Lu Zhou responded.
"The specific time is before and after graduation, the time is to be determined. I will inform you later."
"Okay. I'll go down first then. Director, if you have similar matters next time, please tell me the specific details directly to my colleague Meng Xiaoqin."
Lu Zhou's implication was that he should not hide this nonsense next time, but let him come over in person.
Chapter completed!
