Internet 2010

Lu Zhou chatted with Ding Zhongcheng for a while, Song Wenhui came to the Mengguyun Company in a hurry, and Wen Xuwei also followed.

After these days of wrestling with Phaeton, Lu Zhou has a different perception of the former boss.

It is no exaggeration to say that 99% of the people in the era could not understand "cloud", but Song Wenhui saw its prospects with a very far-sighted vision, and invested a lot of resources in research and development and layout.

In China, if the SaaS software service market is not considered, only Mengguyun and Xinlang have released products visible in PaaS, including Ali, Qiandu, and Penguin, which have not yet released available commercial products. The size of the market is not even 100 million yuan.

Yes, everyone is working hard to develop the technology at full speed. Seeing Mengguyun jumping up and down, no one would take the other three giants as ignorant.

As long as those who are interested can only open a small amount of internal testing through Menggu Cloud, they can judge the depth of it. First, Menggu cloud infrastructure, that is, data centers or servers, has not kept up, and secondly, technology implementation has not been able to achieve large-scale commercialization.

Such problems also emerged after Phaeton delivered 500 servers.

In the internal test, the "Valley" cloud computing system being developed by Menggu Cloud cannot fully schedule these hundreds of servers at all. Once the number of servers exceeds 300, the stability of the system will drop sharply.

Lu Zhou could only sigh with emotion, this is the level of "private cloud", which is probably equivalent to the level of the open source version of Openstack.

Therefore, in the field of technology research and development, it is not enough to spend money on infrastructure. Among the difficulties that need to be overcome, Luzhou even expects to gradually improve it in a year or two.

Looking at it like this, he had to sigh at Song Wenhui's boldness and courage.

No one understands, so what to do? This is the biggest dilemma of the pioneers of this era, and the solution is very simple.

Through trial and error step by step, and adjustment step by step, a "future" system was built with the hard work of a large number of engineers.

So Lu Zhou always felt that this is a skill that requires courage and courage, even if he is a rebirth.

Naturally, when Lu Zhou looked at Song Wenhui again, he only thought that maybe he was just missing a good team.

He has ever seen Dr. Wang from Alibaba Cloud shed tears at the Alibaba Cloud annual meeting for several years.

This is a "controversial" exploration.

This is precisely the reason why Lu Zhou regarded Song Wenhui as the ideal helm of Mengguyun.

Lu Zhou got up and stretched out his hand and said, "Morning, President Song."

Song Wenhui smiled and shook hands with Lu Zhou, and then again with Ding Zhongcheng.

Wen Xuwei coughed and took over the role of host.

"Today's board meeting is mainly about several proposals. The first is for the machines delivered by Phaeton, which are currently facing relatively big technical difficulties, so urgent recruitment is needed in terms of personnel."

Lu Zhou raised his hand to interrupt Wen Xuwei and continued, "Don't mention this, technical issues are the top priority, just pass it through. President Wen can wait for the manager to take his place and give instructions, and then submit the personnel and budget plan. ."

"Stinky boy!" Song Wenhui laughed and scolded when he saw it.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Ding Zhongcheng again, with an expressionless face. Well, although it is impossible for Song Wenhui to make any comments on this matter, but the mention of this trivial matter makes him wary of Song Wenhui.

This Mengguyun is Lu Zhou in charge! No matter how the voting results are the same, the meaning is different.

Wen Xuwei did not stop, and continued, "The second thing, the third page of the proposal. After part of the financing amount is in place, it is expected that the company will continue to add server room servers in several major cities in China in the next six months. The monthly budget is not Less than 10 million, divided into ordinary models and high memory performance models, about 150 units.

This speed is mainly based on the time Phaeton needs to spend in deployment. "

"Kill the guy! Nyonya is rich." Song Wenhui couldn't help but curse again.

The wealth that Phaeton has accumulated over the years has allowed Mengguyun to take out half of it, and now, according to Mengguyun’s A round and revenue capabilities, it will only take three months to reach the previous level of Phaeton. This could not help him not sigh.

But even so, Song Wenhui was secretly happy, "Sure, this hand holding Mengguyun's leg is the right choice."

An order of 10 million yuan a month goes to Phaeton, and a year is hundreds of millions of funds, which is to be occupied by the cost of the machine, but it is really a big customer for Phaeton.

Just when Song Wenhui was in a dark mood, Ding Zhongcheng, who had no expression on his face, raised his hand.

"I have doubts.

According to the actual business level of Dream Valley Cloud, 500 servers are enough to support it. Personally, I think that such expansion is too fast in a short period of six months. Once the technology falls into a bottleneck, the market response is not ideal, which will greatly affect the subsequent development of Mengguyun. "

Lu Zhou narrowed his eyes and glanced at Ding Zhongcheng, wondering if it was his own proposal or Lin Xinhe's intention.

It is feasible for Lu Zhou to forcibly press the proposal, after all, his share capital is enough to support it.

But this is not the first issue of the proposal. It involves whether DCM and Lin Xinhe are brave enough to go "crazy" with Lu Zhou, or they are worried that Lu Zhou will transfer from Phaeton because Lu Zhou holds shares in Phaeton. funds.

After thinking about it, Lu Zhou explained it clearly. In this board of directors, the minutiae can be "one word", but he still hopes to reach an agreement on important issues.

He said, "Let me just say a few words, you can think about it. After all, this involves future strategic issues. If you can't get together, it's best to get together and leave.

Mengguyun and Phaeton are first of all two companies. There are doubts in accounting and auditing. Mr. Ding can propose a plan and discuss a suitable price together. "

Ding Zhongcheng shook his head and said, "Mr. Lu, my worry lies in the development of Mengguyun itself."

"Tortoise-haired human spirit!" Song Wenhui thought to himself.

Naturally, Ding Zhongcheng's words did not mean to reject Lu Zhou's proposal, so Song Wenhui took over the conversation, "As for the Mengguyun order in Phaeton, Phaeton will give a reasonable information disclosure plan."

Lu Zhou nodded and didn't dwell on this topic anymore.

He said, "On the issue of strategy and development, please understand the views I will elaborate next.

First of all, cloud computing itself is a very vague concept. It can be said that all the services provided by Internet companies at this stage can be called 'cloud services'.

But for the commercialization of cloud computing, and this point are two concepts. What we want to do is the business of the B-side, serving the enterprise. Not just its own cloud service.

At this point, there are two prerequisites, one is the foundation and the other is the upper-level business.

In recent years, whether the domestic upper-level planning outline, or the actual implementation of telecom service providers, an important basis is the acceleration of broadband growth, and even several major cities are already implementing fiber-to-the-home.

Second, everyone is only concerned about 3G, but the power of LTE has already been demonstrated at this year's Expo alone. Even if LTE is still not 4G, it is already unimaginable speeds.

These two prerequisites for data circulation and communication speed increase mean that a large amount of business capabilities from the C-end client can be transferred to the server.

The C terminal, or we say mobile phones, will only serve as a link in the future, transmitting a large amount of information to the cloud through the information superhighway.

The cloud problem is abstracted into the so-called upper-level business. One is the cloud computing service for the B-side, and the other is the big data for its own business.

I know it's like empty talk. But the truth is.

The big brother of 1G simulation, UU reading www.uukanshu.com 2G Nokia candy bar, today's 3G Apple Android is up, but it is still very rudimentary.

Therefore, it is not accidental that the concepts of 3G and cloud computing have become popular in the past two years. To some extent, they echo each other, which means that this is a 'fantasy' that is about to flourish at the application layer.

Then the next trend is here. If you dare not think or do it, then Mengguyun will be meaningless. "

Several people listened and suddenly fell into thinking.

"Just because of this illusory trend, are you throwing money into it?"

After waiting for a minute, Lu Zhou said, "There is no doubt, this plan will be laid out. I also ask Mr. Ding to convey to Mr. Lin that if he thinks Mengguyun is expanding too fast, he can contact me.

Regardless of Banana, WeChat or the ecology inside Banana, the future demand for computing resources is still unlimited.

After this round, Menggu Cloud will strive for more commercialized products, and will conduct Series B financing six months later. "

Ding Zhongcheng was confused when he heard it. Mengguyun now has a monthly revenue of about 3 million, which is regarded as the cash of the A round. Does it take half a year to spend 100 million?

This is also far more exaggerated than the Dream Valley advertisement.

Lu Zhou then added, "In addition, the funds consumed by WeChat Company in Menggu Cloud will temporarily be secured by loans, convertible bonds or my personal shares. You must be aware of this."

He looked at Wen Xuwei, "Mr. Wen, move on to the next proposal."
