Internet 2010

Ma Huateng was sitting in the car, and the car was passing through Central at this time. He looked up and saw that the advertisements of some buildings had not been removed.

It's an advertisement for penguin scarves. It should have been hung up earlier.

He sat up straight again. Penguin wants to acquire scarf users here in Xiangjiang? Of course not, this is just to tell the investors in Central: Penguin has not been defeated in the battlefield of the scarf!

Of course, such an ad doesn't make much sense right now. And recently, Penguin's stock price is also quite volatile.

In particular, he got the news this morning that WeChat was estimated at a high price of 2.3 billion US dollars. Is it reasonable? Not so reasonable. Because WeChat is far from supporting such a price in terms of revenue and profit.

But what Lu Zhou held was a good hand. Here, expectations naturally push the price up. WeChat stabilizes Penguin WeChat! This is the truth.

A full 50 million months to live! Between Penguin WeChat and Dream Valley WeChat!

Ma Huateng is not without emotion, a few months seem to be only a few months earlier, but the "quality" of the time before and after is not equal.

Of course, if Lu Zhou is here, he can always comfort Brother Ma: at least 20 million more than in the previous life, this is the increment of your advance arrangement.

Ma Huateng didn't think much about it, and took out the notebook from the other side, but as soon as he opened it, an email made him angry again.

Whatsapp rejected Penguin's offer!

Ma Huateng sighed slightly, although he had expected it in his heart, but when the other party implemented it, his heart was still a little empty.

He knew whatsapped. He had already taken a sum of $8 million from Sequoia, and no matter how soft and hard Sequoia was going, the team just didn't want to ask for money. Others Sequoia still voted for a round, which is all a slap in the face, not to mention Ma Huateng, who has nothing to do with it, to try his luck.

Their team is in the United States, and their business expansion is on five continents. What Penguins have is money, but what they lack is resources other than money.

Ma Huateng thought about it, if I remember correctly, Sequoia China led the B round of WeChat? As for the follow-up investment, it is Menggu’s own Dream Creation Fund.

Brother Ma looked greedy, but he had no chance at all. And this WeChat message is really a good posture.

"Can't it be because of the connection between Sequoia and whatsapp?!" Ma Huateng suddenly thought.

Immediately, he called the assistant's phone, "WeChat's overseas business situation, immediately summarize all the information that can be collected, and send me an email before I arrive at the company!"

Hanging up the phone, he folded his arms across his chest.

People, I am afraid that I am too smart, and I can feel the truth of things just by intuition. As for the most feared? It's just that things are beyond your control.

He thought that if WeChat and Whatsapp are really popular overseas, it is not impossible for WeChat to be tempted to accept Whatsapp. Sequoia wanted to enter whatsapp but could not enter, Lu Zhou waved the flag to open the door, just fooled into accepting whatsapp, and then gave priority to the next round of investment? !

Simply happy! Even Ma Huateng admires that he can make up such a "trick"!

Ma Huateng bit his index finger, this **** Murphy's Law.

......

Hangcheng Ali.

Ma Yun looked at his subordinates, "You, you need to give me a reason."

His tone was a little heavy, "How many years has Alipay been working in the payment field? Why, I just ask why, can Menggu Payment facilitate quick payment faster than Alipay?"

The leader of Alipay looked a little embarrassed.

This year, the Alipay spin-off incident has caused a lot of uproar, and the group itself and Yahoo Softbank are still wrestling internally.

What's more, the Alipay business is the fuse of the whole incident, it is strange that it can not be affected.

Of course, it is not wise to say this as an excuse if you think about it at most.

"Mr. Ma. Quick payment will be launched on BMW. You can rest assured."

Ma Yun, "When?"

Subordinate, "Within two weeks."

He added, "Alipay is currently docking with a lot of banks. In addition to the four major state-owned banks, other commercial banks are also jointly discussing related plans. It is much more difficult for us to align the complete set of plans.

And Dream Valley, only two banks support. The next connection speed, Alipay is only faster than Menggu payment. "

After hearing this, Ma Yun nodded slightly and barely understood the difficulties of Alipay. After all, he was in the midst of a "fighting tiger" storm, and the storm had not yet subsided, so he couldn't be too harsh.

"Okay. Come on down, let me know before you go online."

Although Ma Yun was deeply upset by the quick payment to Menggu first, but if there were more, there was really no idea.

Although WeChat Pay has a large number of users because of its large WeChat base, the application scenario is there. Dream Valley does not have an e-commerce system, so it can only be used to recharge phone bills or transfer accounts to friends.

To say a threat is not a threat at all.

As for anger, it's naturally its potential to be disturbing.

According to the information provided by the group, WeChat Pay is actually trying to do some offline payment promotions in several major cities.

But it really is "Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it". Although the scale is quite small, the implied meaning is big.

Ma Yun is considering many issues, especially cloud computing that worries him the most.

At this point, it has been several months since Alibaba Cloud was officially opened and launched, but in terms of the actual results, it is really far worse than Zhimenggu Cloud.

After a while, Hu Xiaoming walked into Ma Yun's office.

Hu Xiaoming, "Mr. Ma. I'm here to talk about the situation of Alibaba Cloud. Recently, the service quality of Alibaba Cloud has been improved to a certain extent."

Ma Yun was a little surprised, "Oh? Is the doctor making good progress?"

Hu Xiaoming shook his head slightly, "No."

"Since this year, Menggu Cloud has submitted a large number of open source projects to various software foundations, including many top projects. Thanks to these reliable components, Alibaba Cloud has reduced a lot of trial and error time."

Ma Yun is open-minded after listening to it~www.readwn.com~ That is also a good thing. Still have to thank each other. "

Although he is also clear, the reason Hu Xiaoming mentioned this matter is simple: Menggu Cloud can share everything that Alibaba Cloud can't do, but what about the ones that have not been brought out? It can probably be understood that Alibaba Cloud has been abandoned for some distance.

And the influencing factors don't stop there.

Dream Valley Cloud started its commercialization process as early as 10 years ago. In terms of personnel system training, pre-sales and after-sales of sales, hardware supply, site management, and many other aspects, Alibaba Cloud today is much inferior.

Alibaba Cloud and Ma Yun are indeed clamoring for "one billion a year". However, it is only in the beginning of a year, and the money actually invested in Alibaba Cloud may not be as much as Mengguyun.

Dream Valley Cloud last September, 15 million US dollars, in December hundreds of millions of dollars, 25 million US dollars at the beginning of this month. No matter how the investment of Menggu Cloud in just one year is more than one billion, it has not been invested in revenue.

Ma Yun, "It should be used, Ali is not afraid of catching up, you can learn to walk while you are, and see you in the future!"

As for the toughness?

The old horse sneered in his heart.

The sales team and offline network that have been grinding for more than ten years are there. Ali was born to be a B2B business! No one dares to believe this.

As for internationalization? If Ali said that he was the best Internet company in internationalization, no one would dare to claim that he was number one!

When the tiger inside is settled, he doesn't believe that Lu Zhou is really capable of parrying.
