Internet 2010

4th. Cheng Xuyuan noticed that the Nokia version of Penguin WeChat showed an unusually ferocious growth.

This news is nothing new inside WeChat, it just depends on whether it is early or late.

Of course, if the two companies maintain the same user growth rate, this penguin will never catch up. Especially now that the monthly growth rate of WeChat has reached tens of millions, it will not take a while for Penguin to catch up.

It would take a few months to say the least, he shrugged and walked towards Lu Zhou.

"Brother, several groups in Singapore have been tested. No problem, we can release them gradually."

Lu Zhou looked up at Cheng Xuyuan, "Is Apple's process over?"

Cheng Xuyuan put his hands on his chest, "It's a long time ago, the test of the Singapore server was already online, but it was not open to the public. Now the trouble is the problem of the telecommunications service provider. One is the delay, and the other is the text message."

Lu Zhou, "Mengguyun's initial planning in Singapore should have only two international dedicated lines, one from Singapore to Bangkok and one to Jakarta. This has the problem of cost constraints. If it is not too serious, it will be done first, and then it will be based on the actual situation of various countries. to adjust as the news grows.”

Cheng Xuyuan had no choice but to nod, "Force. If you use voice calls, there should be some delay. The problem of text messages is more troublesome. Mengguyun was previously a service provider for an integrated solution in Singapore, but there are a lot of them. It's a bit limited. It's less than 10 million per month."

Lu Zhou pursed his lips. Just registering and logging in requires a short message service, and the number of users that these millions of messages may support can only reach a quarter.

Cheng Xuyuan went on to say, "In February, Dream Valley Cloud Singapore has been communicating with various telecom providers, but only three places have reported progress, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. Malaysia has not yet given an interface, and the other two countries have It is available after the integration of Menggu Cloud."

That was really skinny. Lu Zhou sighed.

"One by one, Mengguyun solves which one is which."

After speaking, Lu Zhou fell into contemplation again, not knowing whether his move counted as a bad move.

The choice to start in Singapore is subject to Phaeton's overseas business capabilities. Only the United States and Singapore can be selected, which seems to be more time-saving.

However, the facts have proved that Phaeton's overseas expansion is mostly based on customer needs rather than its own needs. The problem encountered at the moment is obviously that Phaeton's overseas business has not been touched.

The acquisition of Phaeton by Menggu Cloud will cost nearly 200 million yuan, the Guangnan data center will invest 400 million yuan within two years, and Singapore will allocate another 100 million yuan. That's about 70% of the Series B round.

At this point, the remaining 300 million has not been fully credited. This is also the reason why Luzhou can only choose between Singapore and the US East.

Now, Song Wenhui in the United States has asked the former Phaeton's office staff in the United States to do some work, and it can be operated as long as the capital is invested.

So, which is Europe, East Asia, South Asia, Africa or Latin America next?

Naturally, it doesn't matter in the long run, but if you choose one in the short term, you will have to rely on Mengguyun's revenue to support it, and the time cost will be much higher.

The tougher ones are Europe and the United States. After all, in developed countries, the penetration rate of smartphones is high, but the corresponding operating costs are much higher, and there are also local competitors.

Farming is in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and it is gradually planned. There is no strong opponent. Basically, it is pushed all the way. However, the corresponding supporting facilities are not so satisfactory for people, and the communication cost is high.

"You make arrangements first, and I'll go up and talk to Lao Song."

Cheng Xuyuan nodded and returned to the WeChat team, while Lu Zhou came to Mengguyun upstairs again.

"Brother Song." Lu Zhou knocked on the door twice before entering.

Song Wenhui's secretary outside was not surprised.

Song Wenhui raised his hand to signal Lu Zhou to wait a moment, and then continued to communicate with the other end of the phone in English.

five minutes later. Seeing Song Wenhui hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou asked, "What, the problem with Malay Telecom?"

Song Wenhui smiled awkwardly, "The other party needs us to go through some cross-border business procedures. After all, our operating entity in Malaysia is still going through the process."

Lu Zhou didn't doubt it when he heard it, the communication cost of transnational business is really there.

He believed that if Song Wenhui was there, he would definitely be able to solve it quickly, but at the moment there are many affairs in the Guangnan Data Center, and Song Wenhui is also incapable of being a clone.

Song Wenhui continued, "Speaking of which, this is a Phaeton problem. The amount of Phaeton's cross-border business is very small, so it is impossible to say how professional the team is. After the integration, I will set up a special overseas affairs department to deal with these problems.

Going down to each country office or company, I will also put the corresponding management system on the agenda. "

Lu Zhou nodded. In fact, the time was too tight, and he didn't say much.

"Brother Song, you arrange. I came to you to confirm one thing. If you want to expand another overseas node, where do you think it is suitable? Of course, it is only for WeChat services in a short time."

Song Wenhui was stunned~www.readwn.com~ was too nervous. Not to mention time, funds are too tight. Just imagine, if there is a surge in WeChat users in Southeast Asia this time, you have to think clearly that this will also require additional funds.

The US East is still going through the process. If you add another one, the pressure will be too great. Dream Valley Cloud's current revenue is not enough to support such an expansion. "

When the money is really spent, I hate less. Lu Zhou didn't understand the reasoning. Regarding this point, the directors of Index Capital also complained a lot, even though they said Lu Zhou did not take it seriously.

Seeing that Song Wenhui also poured cold water, Lu Zhou had to ask Wen Xuwei's situation, "Is the domestic server that was put in last month running normally now?"

Song Wenhui nodded, "Yesterday Xuwei has reported this matter, and tomorrow we will be able to supply computing power to the market."

Hopefully it's good news, Lu Zhou wiped his face.

"But this year, Gongxin has successively carried out some actions on the filing issue. In response to this issue, Menggu Cloud's manual processing also reached a bottleneck in business processing in the early stage.

I just mentioned this to Xu Wei. Recently, I will arrange manpower to negotiate with the industry and information department to come up with a plan acceptable to both parties. Can't get rid of this either. "

Lu Zhou, "That's really... Cooperate. If it's too late, make a transition plan. Regarding the issue of operating licenses, Phaeton's previous departments have been mobilized to solve some problems in the Dream Valley ecosystem."

Song Wenhui nodded, "Yeah. In fact, it is not a problem for Mengguyun to enforce that it cannot be accessed without filing. It's just that a single blow will affect the business too much."

Lu Zhou gave up after thinking about it. Song Wenhui's words were not unreasonable, let alone entering the overseas node in this country.

At least see what happens tomorrow. If you don't have the right sales situation, you can't even convince yourself.
