MTL - Internet 2010-~ Ghost in the Abyss

In November 2016, a grand wedding was being held on a small island in Southeast Asia.

Lu Zhou was sitting under the stage wearing a dress. It stands to reason that he didn't like this dress, but he couldn't resist Ye Qingchen's persuasion. Of course, this is also a little face for the old man Cheng Xuyuan.

Cheng Xuyuan has been working with him for several years. In his previous life, Cheng Xuyuan was only the technical director of a project such as Toutiao Video. In this life, he followed Lu Zhou, and he was beaten by Lu Zhou on a completely different path.

Although WeChat has not yet been listed today, its business map is already unimaginably large. Luzhou is reluctant to choose to go public at this time, although the WeChat + whatsapp + micro headlines have already included more than 2.5 billion users, including 1 billion in China and 1.5 billion overseas.

The investment institutions that couldn't bear the delay of WeChat's listing have been cleared by Lu Zhou, and replaced by some important domestic capital, the Dream Creation Fund, and the family fund managed by Ye Qingchen. LYF is the main fund subject of this intermediate operation. Thanks to the funds obtained during the listing of Mengguang, Luzhou can rely on its own funds to have more room for operation. Among them, Fang Qiang, Wen Xuwei and others also have funds to participate. Oh, and I forgot that the fund run by Rebs' wife was also a part of it.

The protagonist was naturally by his side, Ye Qingchen sat quietly beside him, holding Lu Yao in his arms. She is still as moving as ever, but before she knows it, she also catches up with herself step by step with her hard work. Now Mr. Ye is his biggest "backer".

Menggu people are used to seeing Lu Zhou, but when they see the other two characters, their reaction can be called "kneeling and licking". One is Lao Lin from Dream Creation, and the other is Mr. Ye from LYF. The reason is simple, whether to give financing or not, Lu Zhou said that it is indeed useful, but it is these two big men who really talk about it, this is the God of Wealth!

"Slow down, hurry up."

Lu Yu didn't know where he "stolen" the cake, but Lu Yao, who "collaborated" with him, was able to eat it. Well, this boy is eating all over his mouth and clothes.

Lu Zhou had to put the hug on his lap while wiping him clean.

"Dad~" Lu Yu suddenly looked up at Lu Zhou with big eyes flashing.

"Um?"

He waved his little hand to signal Lu Zhou's face to come closer, and then said in Lu Zhou's ear, "Tell you a secret!"

Lu Zhou looked at his mysterious expression with a cheerful smile on his face. This kid has inherited the genes of his own bear child. People are not only noisy, but also all kinds of demons.

"Tell me? I promise not to tip off my mother."

Lu Yu pouted, and seemed to be much more relieved than before, "I went to the beach with Yaoyao just now."

Lu Zhou, "..."

He is quite timid, and tm sneaked out with his sister quietly... No wonder his mother is worried every day.

The bear boy quietly added, "Uncle Fang is also..."

After speaking, he opened his hand, "I saw a boat fishing by the sea, it was very long! The boat can't be brought back!"

Lu Yu was so excited that the cake plate in his hand flew out, and it was a puddle on the ground.

"Is Dad going to take a look?!"

Lu Zhou had to put Lu Yu down, took a tissue and bent over to wipe it on the ground, so as to save someone from slipping for a while.

"Go go go!"

Lu Yu was shaking Lu Zhou's hand frantically.

Seeing that the process of Cheng Xuyuan and Zhao Xingtong on stage was over, Lu Zhou said helplessly, "Okay, wait a minute."

He couldn't stand up in front of children, but Ye Qingchen, who was docile in the past, was fierce in front of children. Lu Yu and Lu Yao are not afraid of his father, but their mother.

Lu Zhou reported it to President Ye, and then took the two children to the beach. Ye Qingchen was happy to relax anyway.

When he got to the beach, Lu Zhou saw Fang Zinan playing with sand beside her father.

"Son man man!"

Seeing that Lu Yu broke away from Lu Zhou's hand, he squatted next to Fang Zinan and played along, completely forgetting that he was going to bring Lu Zhou to watch the boat.

"This stinky boy..." Lu Zhou put down Lu Yao and spat out of his mouth for no reason.

The child was playing on his own, so Lu Zhou walked over to Fang Qiang, "Why, don't you stay there?"

After hearing this, Fang Qiang smiled, "No, there are probably too many people, and the son was crying a lot, so he brought him out for a walk. Her mother is there, why don't she get married, anyway, it's Brother Cheng's, whatever you want. that is."

Lu Zhou nodded, "Yes. As the child gets older, it can be tossed."

Then he looked out to the sea and noticed the boat Lu Yu was talking about, but well, it was obviously not a fishing boat fishing.

"Is that the submarine optical cable you got? Just now Luyu, that arrogant boy, told me that he was catching big fish."

Fang Qiang chuckled, "I told him, but I didn't understand it anyway, just fish. It should be because the lines are aging, and the maintenance company picked them up to do some maintenance work."

Although satellite communication has existed for a long time, and there are dense satellites all over the periphery of the earth, compared with satellite communication, today's transcontinental communication still uses submarine optical cables with lower cost. There are hundreds of submarine optical cables in the world, and they are cheaper to deploy in the shallow sea than in the deep sea. Many lines are distributed along the coastline. This coastal area of ​​Southeast Asia is also a dense area where submarine optical cables pass.

Compared with the United States on the other side of the ocean, there are not many sites connected to submarine cables in Huaxia, only a few landing stations in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Hujiang and Qingdao.

Lu Zhou looked at the cables in the distance thoughtfully.

"Do you remember what happened a few years ago?"

Fang Qiang was stunned for a moment, then looked like he knew, "Do you mean the surveillance incident exposed by Shoton?"

Lu Zhou nodded slightly. This matter involves a wide range of aspects, including several American Internet giants that provide services for billions of people around the world. After the exposer, Shoton, revealed through WikiLeaks (WKL) that the United States planned to monitor the world, he took refuge in Hong Kong for a period of time, and finally took refuge in the big country Luosha with the help of various parties.

Fang Qiang continued, "It can be considered a precaution in China. The important routes behind Cisco's gate have been gradually replaced with domestic Huawei products. But Brother Lu, I'm curious, the domestic data center of Menggu Cloud is not a problem, foreign countries When you deploy the data center, you clearly specify that you want to use domestic products. It can’t be a foreshadowing, can it?”

Lu Zhou shrugged slightly, "I just support domestic products haha."

A prism is a prism because it splits a beam of light in two. A kind of "data domination".

Fang Qiang smiled slightly, "Haha, but think about the overseas plans in recent years, especially in the United States, it is probably impossible for the other party to let a Chinese company take the initiative in its homeland."

Lu Zhou waved his hand. From the moment the Dream Valley business went abroad, he also anticipated the predicament in the middle. It is like hacking attacks by departments in other countries, and it is like requesting the submission of user information and even privacy in other countries under various names.

At that time, Shoton time, such as Facebook Gu Ge, was involved. Will U.S. Internet products be monitored? ! Even data is split through fiber optic cables and stored in huge data centers! No one knows what impact it will have. Although WeChat became popular at the time, users who did not trust such American Internet companies turned to WeChat WhatsApp.

But as a Brazilian spokesperson said, you never know where the other party comes from. You don't know if something comes from a friend or an enemy, but you can be sure that you will not be your own enemy.

Talking about trust is too difficult.

Fang Qiang continued, "Brother Wen was in Hsinchu recently, right?"

Lu Zhou nodded slightly, "Well, Lao Song recently made a set of 'seeking notices'. It was originally a matter of Lizhi Technology and Zhennan Xindong, but it was better to negotiate in the past with a principal."

Looking back on listening to Sato's story at the time, Lu Zhou had already developed a sense of urgency a year ago, whether it was related to the situation or the AI ​​development of Menggu itself. Although Litchi Technology had developed the world's most advanced ASIC chip adapted to AI at that time, and was world-famous for its BetaGo, it seemed like it couldn't wait.

The story Sato told was heard when he arrived in South Korea, but most of the following stories are not unfamiliar to many people, and this is the reason why Wen Xuwei set off for Hsinchu this time, with only one purpose - "grabbing people". The corporate delegation of Mengguyun has even contracted three hotels near the Hsinchu Chip Park, and one package is three years! It's clear that we want to fight a protracted war, and we won't stop until we dig out enough people from here!

"How about you? How about Mengguang?"

After listening to Fang Qiang, he said, "Still follow Qixing. After all, Mengguang, you know it well, picking up the things left by Mengguyun and WeChat is enough. Just provide some scientific research funding support."

Lu Zhou asked, "What about the overseas progress of Menggu Payment?"

Fang Qiang smiled helplessly when he heard it, "Brother Lu, this task is difficult for me. Most of the offices and local banks are difficult to negotiate. It's a very simple thing, and they all see the prosperity of Huaxia's third-party payment. Last year, the entire Huaxia banking system was tightening its support for Menggu Payment, and several major banks were also continuously reducing the upper limit of the payment limit. It is not because the development of third-party payment is too fast, which has aroused the vigilance of banks. After all, they are still competitors.”

Lu Zhou nodded ~www.novelbuddy.com~ and the response of the communication industry was similar. The mobile RCS business has been proposed for a long time. Although it may not pose a threat to WeChat, it is impossible to say that it is not envious of the market. "

Earlier, as early as 2013, various communication service providers were dissatisfied with WeChat and WeChat, because the annual SMS business was affected by the rise of these two. The RCS service proposed by China Mobile is similar to Apple's iMessage. In short, it enables Android users to send text messages and pictures directly through their mobile phone numbers.

Lu Zhou is not worried about the threat of RCS to WeChat, because WeChat itself has concentrated too many functions, and it is not a substitute for RCS at all. On the contrary, the emergence of RCS can also reduce the "social burden" for WeChat users. For example, renting a house. In the past, it was necessary to add a WeChat account of the sales landlord. Now, text messages can communicate with each other and send pictures.

Lu Zhou continued, "If the local bank chooses not to cooperate, then we will open our own bank. Once we have started, there is no turning back. If we do, we will solve the entire market."

The Huaxia market is the main battlefield of Dream Valley. After several years of hard work, it can be said that it has reached a certain bottleneck. After all, the population is just that, and WeChat already has one billion users. The more it reaches the ceiling, the slower the growth rate. However, the 1.5 billion users in the overseas market are still not fully developed. This time, it would be a waste for Menggu to do nothing from here.

Fang Qiang listened with his mouth slightly open, but it really came out one after another. The Dream Valley Internet Bank has just been established for less than a year, so he has to go overseas to change the pattern.

"Hey. Hard work, hard work!"

Fang Qiang said with a smile.

Lu Zhou smiled and walked over to the dirty Lu Yu and Lu Yao, "Go!"
