Friday, within b212.

"How's the saas part in Vancouver?"

Wen Xuwei didn't even raise his head, "Okay, I've asked Fang Qiang to take it for testing. The cloud host is half done."

"Okay. Also, take a look at the warehouse. I have updated a cloud test document. This involves the virtualization and real machine interface of the Android system."

"Okay. I'll take a look at it tonight."

Lu Zhou then walked to Fang Qiang's position and asked, "Qiangzi. How is the progress of the promotion work?"

Fang Qiang put down the work at hand and said, "Everything went well. Working online, the Menggu advertising platform added a new banana advertisement. Xiaotong contacted the designer again and made a plan for this part of the material. The advertisement was just released on the platform yesterday, with a unit price of 20 cents.

The budget is 300,000. Considering the inventory consumption of developers on the platform, the consumption of this part of the budget will be much slower than in the previous period.

There has been a peak in the growth rate in the past few days. It happened to be when Brother Lu posted the link on your scarf. According to statistics, the number of link clicks exceeded 600,000 independent IP addresses and the number of downloads that day was 200,000. However, the retention rate is relatively low. The secondary open rate

not tall."

"Yeah. Let's continue." Lu Zhou was not surprised by this. After all, the traffic came from the scarves, and more of the links opened by curiosity. It is normal for the conversion rate to be low.

"Offline work is progressing relatively slowly because the marketing department is not familiar with the current circulation channels of the mobile phone market and needs to give the marketing department more time. At present, the domestic sales of Android and Apple mobile phones have a significant feature. There are more parallel imports than licensed ones. Online

Xia Xiaotong has already ordered his subordinates to conduct research, and it turns out that many of the parallel import markets in Guangnan are supplied by several large suppliers."

Lu Zhou nodded, "Very good. Let's communicate slowly. It won't be a problem if the offline cost is as low as one or two yuan per mobile phone. Try to open up offline channels as soon as possible, and then leave it to local pushers to do it. Local pushers will do it."

Is there any problem with the desktop test? How is the progress on iOS?"

Fang Qiang shook his head, "Not ideal. This first involves the issue of jailbreaking. Without jailbreaking, Appstore will remove Banana from the shelves in a short time. It's no wonder that Appstore can distribute one billion US dollars to developers this year. There is no need to do a closed ecosystem.

In the channel market, the last one will be blocked."

Naturally, Lu Zhou didn't take it seriously, "It's okay. Don't worry, I'll do as much as you can."

“Currently Banana only has 400,000 iOS installations.”

Lu Zhou was stunned and gave Fang Qiang a slap on the head, "Oh, Mr. Fang is so generous. Four hundred thousand is not ideal. I'm still thinking that the market has not been opened yet."

"Hehe. This is not what I am used to following Brother Lu."

At this time, the mobile phone in Lu Zhou's pocket began to vibrate. When he saw that it was an unknown number from Beijing, he said to Fang Qiang, "You fix it first. I'll answer the phone."

"Hello." Lu Zhou got out of b212 and answered the phone.

"Hello. My name is Lin Xinhe of DCM Capital. Can Mr. Lu answer the phone?" the other party asked politely.

"I have long admired the name of my senior. Mr. Lin, just call me Lu Zhou, or call me Luke."

Previously, the investment manager of dcm capital had been in contact with Lu Zhou at the request of Lin Xinhe. As a partner of dcm China, Lin Xinhe was several levels higher than the investment manager. Lu Zhou was also a little surprised.

"Haha, then you can also call me Hust. Luke, I am very interested in Menggu Technology. I called you because I wanted to ask about your plans."

How could Lu Zhou not understand after hearing this? 360 Assistant's promotion was very popular. Lin Xinhe naturally foresaw that Menggu would launch a counterattack next, so the money was naturally needed.

"hurst, thank you very much for your consideration. However, Menggu Advertising currently does not have financing needs, and the company's operating conditions are sufficient to support the A round." Lu Zhou said apologetically to Lin Xinhe.

"Luke, you gave the wrong answer. I didn't ask this question. Dream Valley Advertising will go directly to the A round. I expected this situation." Lin Xinhe was not surprised.

"I noticed that Menggu Technology has made several capital injections into its subsidiary Menggu Cloud Computing in recent weeks. If I guess correctly, you plan to inject money into Menggu Cloud before financing, and then after the spin-off is completed

Then finance Dream Valley Advertising separately, right?”

Lu Zhou was a little stunned after hearing Lin Xinhe's words. He was indeed an ancient master who had participated in the operation of the heart wave model and was well versed in the operation of capital.

"Yes. The cloud computing company will hold most of the hardware assets of Menggu Technology. Menggu Cloud Computing provides server resources to Menggu Advertising on a lease basis."

"Very harsh conditions. You should know that because of this, capital may worry about the financing of Dream Valley Advertising. This involves the issue of disguised transfer of assets."

Lin Xinhe pointed out the flaws in Lu Zhou's idea very bluntly.

Just imagine, if DCM wants to invest one million in Menggu Advertising, then this million will have to pay rental fees to Menggu Cloud Computing in the subsequent operations.

Luzhou holds a large number of shares in Menggu Cloud Computing, so even if Menggu's advertising is unsuccessful, Luzhou can still profit from Menggu Cloud Computing. As for the money, it is not the money invested by DCM.

"hurst. This problem is simple. The initial server costs can be presented as loans, and will be paid with revenue profits at the end of the month. Later, you can customize the computing plan from Menggu Cloud Computing and purchase servers. The money coming in from financing will only go to the special account.

and promotion costs.”

Lin Xinhe couldn't help but be startled after hearing this, and gained a new understanding of Lu Zhou, "In this case, it is acceptable. If I add one more thing, Menggu Cloud Computing's priority financing rights can basically solve the problem I am worried about.

"

"Wait a minute. Hurst, I haven't planned to raise funds yet." Lu Zhou couldn't laugh or cry after hearing Lin Xinhe's words.

Lin Xinhe also ignored Lu Zhou's refusal at all, "What is your expected valuation for Menggu's A round?"

"..."

Lu Zhou silently supported the amount, but he really couldn't stand Lin Xinhe's kindness, "No less than 100 million U.S. dollars. Financing and transfer of 10% of the shares."

"It's difficult. This is the level of a unicorn in the first round."

Lin Xinhe came to the conclusion after a moment of calculation. After all, the A-round was about to be a unicorn, and by the B-round, Dream Valley Advertising had to cross the billion threshold for the DCM deal to be considered feasible.

"Isn't that what you're asking about riding on a horse?" Lu Zhou cursed in his mind.

Lu Zhou then simply said, "Two million users a month. Revenue for the whole month is two million and a half million."

You know, it took Wandoujia 4 months to reach one million users, and its valuation was between 80 and 90 million US dollars. Now, Lu Zhou has already opened up a profit model for Menggu Advertising early, whether it is the number of users or the

The revenue is much higher than that of Wandoujia back then.

"Last year, 30 million smartphones were shipped, and Nokia accounted for only half of them. Android and Apple units will be added every month at least two million units. This year, this number is neither higher nor lower. This is a monthly increase

The field of two million new users.hurst, I believe you know these data more comprehensively than I do."

Lin Xinhe choked when she said this. What Lu Zhou said was "nonsense", but it was also a general trend.

Otherwise, why would Lin Xinhe be so anxious? When he saw that the development of Peas was not ideal, he immediately turned around and came to Menggu.

"Okay. I can accept the conditions you mentioned."

"Let's talk about it in a few months, Hurst. As I just said, Dream Valley Advertising currently has no financing needs."

"..."

Lin Xinhe was really in pain. Even after using all the tricks of kidnapping and deception, Lu Zhou was still unable to make progress.

"Okay. Contact me after that. Believe me, other funds may not accept your conditions. If you have needs, call me as soon as possible." Lin Xinhe could only end the conversation with Lu Zhou helplessly.
