Chapter 846: Simon's Trust
"Donghu County is located in a mountainous area, but the location of the county seat is a plain. There is also a Baidao Lake next to the county seat, and the environment is very good. This time, it's just the right time to relax. ”
On the car leaving Hongcheng Airport, Zheng Ge chuckled at Xi Meng, who was sitting on the side.
"Hmm. ”
Simon replied and chuckled softly, "I'm looking forward to it." ”
Zheng Ge smiled and asked casually, "How is it, the development of the Ant Forest is still going well these days, right?"
"It went well. ”
When it comes to work, Xi Meng is much more serious, "The enthusiasm of netizens is very high, according to the survey, our ant forest has also greatly driven the enthusiasm of people everywhere for green travel." ”
"More than half of our WeChat users have opened Ant Forest accounts. And this data is growing rapidly every day. ”
"Hmm!" Zheng Ge hummed and asked again: "Has the number of WeChat users increased?"
"Naturally, these days, we have billions. The daily active activity is about 400 million, and I am confident that it will break 500 million DAU next year. Simon said confidently.
Ant Forest public welfare is also tantamount to a wave of publicity on WeChat. In the past few days, WeChat has seen a big increase in both downloads and activity.
Of course, this wave of publicity has also made the public more aware that this is a positive energy company, thereby improving the company's reputation.
Zheng Ge nodded, and asked again: "By the way, how is the research and development of cloud computing?"
Cloud computing has been preparing for a long time.
For this project, under Zheng Ge's suggestion, Yuanda Group invested a huge amount of money.
At present, funds have been invested, reaching 500 million.
That's a lot of money.
"It went very well. ”
Speaking of Yuanda cloud computing, Simon hesitated for a moment and said: "Our flying system has also been officially put into research and development. It is expected that within two years, Yuanda Cloud will be available for public testing. ”
Zheng Ge nodded, with some anticipation.
I don't know if the world's lofty cloud computing can achieve the level of Alibaba Cloud in the previous life.
"What does the industry think about our cloud computing?"
Zheng Ge asked again.
Hearing this, Simon hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Ge was a little puzzled.
Xi Meng took a deep breath and asked, "Brother Zheng, can our cloud computing really succeed? Can it really reach the step you said?"
Zheng Ge was stunned for a moment, "Why do you ask that?"
He remembers that for the research and development of cloud computing, Simon has always supported him!
Xi Meng bit her lip lightly, she has indeed been supportive, and according to Zheng Ge's suggestion, she invested heavily in research and development of cloud computing.
But in fact, this does not mean that she is very optimistic about this project.
To put it bluntly, she did this just as a kind of trust in Zheng Ge.
She is usually at the helm of Yuanda, no matter what Zheng Ge decides to do or what projects she launches, she will support her.
Not for anything else, just for the trust in Zheng Ge.
Just like the original mobile payment, she was a little hesitant at first. But she insisted on her trust in Zheng Ge and made everything perfect.
Facts have also proved that Zheng Ge is right.
Recall that in the past two years, Yuanda Group has launched a series of projects: whether it is the initial friend network, or the later Weibo, as well as WeChat, mobile payment and other projects, they have achieved great success.
Even many of the small projects that Zheng Ge has participated in, such as the Yuanda Education Platform, have been successful.
The reason why she hesitated about this cloud computing project was nothing else, just because it was too advanced.
"If you have any doubts, just say it. Between us, there is nothing that cannot be said. ”
Zheng Ge said gently.
Xi Meng said: "Brother Zheng, in fact, I think this project is very good, but it feels a little ahead of its time. And the investment is huge, and it is expected to invest hundreds of millions of dollars every year, so ......"
She just felt it was too risky.
Zheng Ge exhaled, patted the back of her hand, and said, "What you said is right, the investment is big and the risk is big, but once you succeed, the value behind it is also very huge." So, this project is worth the risk. ”
Xi Meng sighed and nodded slightly, "Brother Zheng, don't worry, since I have done it, I will definitely do my best." ”
"Well, I believe that. ”
Zheng Ge laughed.
Xi Meng smiled and continued: "Brother Zheng, you asked what the industry thinks about cloud computing, in fact, most people in the industry are not optimistic. Among them, the chairman of TT Group, including Feng Qiyue, chairman of Penguin Group, and others are not optimistic. ”
"They think the concept of cloud computing is too far ahead of its time. Perhaps in the next few decades, it will be possible. Today's technology is very difficult to achieve. Their disapproval has also made many people in the industry look down. Some well-known people even said that this may be the Waterloo of our Grand Group. ”
When Zheng Ge heard this, he suddenly wanted to laugh.
It feels like in the previous life, some Internet bigwigs were not optimistic about Alibaba Cloud.
"What about Mr. Feng of Taobao?
Zheng Ge was a little curious, and he didn't know what this Feng always thought.
However, this Mr. Feng should be optimistic.
Because at the reception, Mr. Feng also proposed that he wanted to cooperate with him to develop cloud computing.
"That Mr. Feng is quite optimistic. On several occasions in public, he expressed his optimism about cloud computing. Xi Meng pursed his lips and smiled: "In addition, Taobao Group has contacted us several times and wants to cooperate in the development of cloud computing. After being rejected by us, it is said that Taobao Group already has a plan to independently develop cloud computing. ”
Zheng Ge nodded, not surprised.
Although this is not the earth anymore, this Mr. Feng is still very similar to Mr. Alima in his previous life. Of course, this refers to character, but also vision and so on. In appearance, they are far apart.
In his previous life, Mr. Ma proudly invested 1 billion yuan a year in research and development of cloud computing.
Mr. Feng in this world probably has this kind of courage.
"Okay, let's do it with peace of mind, and strive to make our lofty cloud computing online as soon as possible." ”
Zheng Ge sighed, "After Yuanda Cloud Computing is launched, there will be some big plans. ”
Simon was a little curious, what would this big plan be?
Zheng Ge smiled.
In the previous life's Double Eleven, what was the basis for processing so many orders in a single day?
Just like Tmall, on the day of Double 11, billions of transactions were reached in less than a minute, on what basis?
Zheng Ge vaguely remembers that Tmall's turnover on Double 11 in 2018 reached 210 billion.
Among them, cloud computing is naturally indispensable.
In addition, cloud computing is so versatile that it can be applied to various fields such as manufacturing, transportation, medical care, and telecommunications.
"Okay. ”
Xi Meng took a deep breath, although there were still many doubts in her heart, but seeing Zheng Ge so determined, she could only strengthen her confidence and strive to make cloud computing successful and strong.
