MTL - Internet 2010-Chapter 327 Dream Valley Cloud B+ round
Sept. 18.
The MoLiao incident has not yet been determined, but Mengguyun has ushered in another financing.
Huaxia is the fourth largest Internet company in terms of server ownership, second only to Penguin Ali Qiandu.
Huaxia's public cloud market occupies the first place, including a series of manufacturers such as WeChat, Banana, Orange, Guapi, Mango, etc. There are more than 10,000 active manufacturers deploying applications on it, and there are 40,000 developers.
Huaxia is the first Internet company to open nodes in Southeast Asia and Europe, and its service scope covers three continents.
Huaxia is the first cloud computing company that claims to support AI acceleration services with GPU heterogeneous servers.
Many names on BP can be described as blinding the eyes of countless organizations. The purpose of this round of financing is more to support data center construction and server expansion, and to prepare for the acquisition of some hardware companies and teams.
Doubts are naturally there.
For example, although the number of servers is the fourth largest, the difference between the top three and the back is almost a cliff, and the amount of one thousand degrees alone is equivalent to the sum of all the companies behind.
Or for example, tens of thousands of manufacturers sound like a lot, but the highest order profit is still a series of ecology invested by the Dream Fund.
For another example, the US, European and Southeast Asian nodes opened by Menggu Cloud seem to have publicized the internal test, but the supply is always 0. No one knows the real number and how true it is.
For another example, the so-called AI, although many people know that Lu Zhou made a lot of nonsense at this year's China Internet Conference, but how big is the real use? No one can feel it.
But in any case, once the news was released, the building of Menggu Company was full of crowds, and even the management office of the Science and Technology Park couldn't help but complain.
Most of the people who come here have simple ideas. Mengguang has just raised financing, and WeChat is living with its belt under its belt. Mengguyun is the most popular and open source of financing. It is Lu Zhou bragging, but most of them believe that he can do it, and it is unreasonable not to try his luck.
However, most people have closed the door, and the financing has been finalized a long time ago.
This round is a b+ round, which has been completed by the last round of investment institutions, Matrix Partners China and Tiger Fund.
Many organizations secretly secretly know that this is not very kind, and his mother doesn't even give you soup.
The lead investor, Matrix Partners China, is $15 million, Tiger Fund is $10 million, and a single share is valued at $1. The unit price of $0.91 after the merger of Phaeton in round B of Dream Valley Cloud is slightly higher.
The holdings of Matrix Partners China and Tiger Fund also rose to 50 million shares and 33 million shares.
It was the first anniversary of Mengguyun's A round of financing, and Lin Xinhe, who was so happy that he laughed out loud, couldn't help but call Lu Zhou to brag.
The reason is naturally simple. Matrix Partners China led this round of b+ rounds. It seems that $25 million is a lot, but Matrix Partners China has not had as much shares in this round as dcm.
Last year, Lin Xinhe's dcm entered the market, and the price of a single share was only US$0.1. If it is full, it will be a year. This round of Matrix Partners China's increase in positions is priced at US$1 per unit. This is ten times the floating profit.
And Lu Zhou himself?
The valuation of Dream Valley Cloud alone has ballooned to $500 million!
To everyone's surprise, with the advent of the mobile Internet era, the first company to enter the threshold of unicorn is not a mobile Internet company in the traditional sense, but a cloud computing company!
In 10 years, this concept has been demoted, and in 11 years, it has completely changed its appearance, and when Menggu Cloud is now, cloud computing has suddenly become a trend!
Well-informed institutions have even learned about some high-level news, and China's national level support for cloud computing is almost certain!
The head of the wave is Menggu Yun. Followed by Alibaba Cloud, Penguin Cloud, and newcomer Kingsoft Cloud. Subsequently, hundreds of large and small cloud computing companies crowded into this field.
......
Dream Valley Cloud Office.
Song Wenhui pounded on the table and thought, while Lu Zhou stood by the bookshelf and picked out a folder.
Song Wenhui said after thinking for a long time, "Lu Zhou, the 25 million US dollars. It should not be enough."
Lu Zhou stood there and didn't look at Song Wenhui, he replied, "Well, I know this. Mengguyun has reached 300 million to 400 million revenue every quarter, and this B+ round of money is a three-month transition."
Song Wenhui, "..."
You know how much money you spend, 2,500 dollars for a three-month transition? ! Wouldn't it be nice to slow down honestly!
Lu Zhou looked at Song Wenhui, "Next year, the C round will be finalized. Otherwise, the Binhai Data Center will not have the funds to develop."
He put the folder in his hand back, and took another copy, "There's nothing more than a few things. After the Guangnan data center was opened, the servers in Guangnan Zhennan City were migrated as soon as possible, steadily reducing operating costs and improving profit margins. The overseas nodes are gradually opened to achieve a balance of payments. In this way, the C-round Dream Valley Cloud still has enough right to speak."
Song Wenhui tapped on the table again, "You should be clear that even this way, it is difficult to maintain the construction plan of the Binhai Data Center. The three-year plan will cost more than 3 billion yuan per year. These two points alone will make Dream Valley Cloud's business plan next year. At least double the revenue and raise at least $500 million.”
He smiled, "I said, even the listing of A-shares can't raise so much money."
After listening to Lu Zhou put away the folder in his hand, he smiled, "Brother Song, I know what you are worried about. To be honest~www.novelbuddy.com~ You also know whether Mengguyun's revenue can double next year. When the Guangnan data center is in operation, the cost can be greatly reduced. The pressure is not as great as imagined."
Song Wenhui had a bitter look on his face, yes, yes, the pressure was also on Song Wenhui himself.
Lu Zhou leaned on the edge of the bookshelf, "Let's put it this way, the research progress of Qixing Laboratory has been very fast throughout the year. Next year will be an opportunity for Qixing and a leap for Mengguyun. I remember that after this round of financing, Google Did you give us an offer too?"
Song Wenhui nodded slightly, saying that this should be the most blockbuster bomb in this round of financing. 100 million US dollars requires 100 million shares? !
No wonder Lu Zhou refused!
And he didn't quite understand how Mengguyun provokes the giant on the other side of the ocean.
He also thought that it would be good if Lu Zhou could accept this offer. After all, Google's reputation is quite big, and Mengguyun said that it is not too much to become a star.
Lu Zhou smiled, "Some papers and journals in the laboratory have attracted the attention of the other party. In fact, Mengguyun is only incidental, and the other party's purpose is to fully acquire Qixing."
Song Wenhui, "!"
Song Wenhui didn't even have to think about it, the guy in front of him must have refused again.
And Lu Zhou also sighed in his heart at the level of development of information circulation at the moment. Seven Stars has already attracted the onlookers of sharks just after emerging.
Lu Zhou patted the bookshelf, "Anyway, let's go, Boss Song."
"South Africa and Brazil, the nodes can consider investing in operation. We can't wait."
