Global monopoly of technology

The meeting was still going on, Zhang Bowen looked towards Luo Sheng: "Mr. Luo, do you want to establish a wholly-owned subsidiary to independently operate the big data and cloud computing service sectors?"

Luo Sheng shook his head and said: "This is not necessary. The parent company will do it directly. The existing large subsidiaries will need a lot of data resources in the future. This can be integrated and distributed by the parent company to optimize resource allocation. The core business of the parent company in the future It is big data and cloud computing services."

Zhang Bowen nodded, and couldn't help laughing after a moment: "It seems that Mr. Luo has already started the arrangement. Of the 5.6 billion US dollars raised in this IPO, only 1 billion US dollars were brought back to China, and the other 4.6 billion US dollars were offshore overseas. "

"The biggest purpose of the company's IPO financing is to build a data center on a global scale. Otherwise, this time it won't raise so much money, let alone the second or third financing."

Luo Sheng said.

His logical thinking is very quick, and his usual speaking speed is also very fast. However, at today's highly confidential internal core executive meeting, he slowed down his speech speed for the first time and patiently spoke about cloud computing services for everyone.

Fortunately, I have been working with Luo Sheng for several years. Everyone has adapted, and the abilities of the people sitting here are not bad. The bad debts have been wiped out in recent years.

Although I heard these concepts for the first time, everyone now has a clear logical order.

The most difficult aspect of what Luo Sheng said is that Feng Yi still easily confuses the data center, cloud computing data center, and big data, and they unknowingly regard these three as the same product or concept.

After Luo Sheng spent more than an hour repeatedly and patiently explaining, everyone just sorted out the relationship between the three.

It may seem confusing, but in fact there are significant differences.

The data center computer room is a complete set of complex hardware facilities, while cloud computing is a public resource of information, and big data is an application scenario under the background of the Internet, including application scenarios under the background of the future mobile Internet and the Internet of Things.

The relationship between the three is closely connected and intersects each other. Various applications generate huge amounts of data, which need to be processed and analyzed to mine valuable information.

Cloud computing is a technical solution that can be used to solve the on-demand construction of a series of IT infrastructure such as computers, storage, and databases.

There is no doubt that big data is a very important application scenario for cloud computing, and cloud computing provides the best technical solutions for big data processing and data mining.

But all this must rely on the existence of the data center to achieve the landing. The data center plays the role of infrastructure and is the root of cloud computing.

And cloud computing is the "leaf" of the data center. Through "photosynthesis", the development of the data center is promoted, and the data center is expanded as a result, and it will feed back the development of cloud computing and provide a solid foundation for it.

These three have different division of labor and different levels, but they are interdependent and promote each other.

It's a bit confusing, no wonder it will be confused.

"If you want to play with cloud computing services, you must do a good job on the road of no return to'Krypton Gold'." Luo Sheng said with a smile.

"Krypton gold?"

Everyone said in unison, looking at each other, they all saw the doubts and puzzles in their eyes.

Luo Sheng also froze for a while, reacted quickly, and laughed: "The subcultural vocabulary in the game player circle means that you can become stronger only by recharging. Simply put, it is to be prepared for super large-scale capital investment, time It will not be short, but it will last."

Feng Yi said jokingly: "Boss, co-author and manage the two companies, do you have free time to play games?"

Everyone could not help but laugh.

But obviously he was a little skeptical. Luo Sheng only had five or six meetings a day, and sometimes a dozen meetings a day.

He doesn't need to experience it personally, but generally makes decisions.

But even if you make a decision, it is not one or two, and it is divided into different business sectors. It takes a lot of time to make a decision and think.

I have to say that this is not something that ordinary people can do.

There is no octa-core brain that really can't turn it around. If you are ordinary people, you will be dizzy long ago, let alone fast and efficient, and make the best judgments and make decisions.

After the episode, Luo Sheng took a sip of water, then got up from the director Zhang's chair, and came to a wall of the meeting room under the eyes of everyone.

There is a large white board on it.

He found a map of the world. At this time, an executive immediately got up to help. It took a while to fix the map of the world with a white magnet.

"The specific blueprint is very clear in my mind. I hate PPT, so I make notes and focus." Luo Sheng said after getting it done, and then found ten red whiteboard magnets and placed them in this section. The ten positions on the world map have been fixed before returning to the chairman's chair.

Xu Yong and others at the meeting all looked at the ten signs on the map. Each sign was a country or region: China, Singapore, Japan, Australia, Brazil, Western Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Ten countries with Russia.

Luo Sheng moved his back on the swivel chair and looked at the map on the whiteboard, and said leisurely: "This goal is a long-term vision. From this year to 2016, it will take about ten years. Bluestar Technology Group strives for it. At least 165 large-scale data centers will be built in more than ten countries and 18 cities around the world."

Having said that, Luo Sheng looked at the ten signs on the map and paused for a moment. His brain was running fast. After a while, he added: "165 data centers are distributed in these 18 cities, and these cities are domestic. Sioux City, Phoenix, Forest City, the capital. Abroad, Northern Virginia, Seattle, Gulf of California, northeastern Oregon, Dublin, Luxembourg, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Osaka, Singapore, Sydney, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Moscow."

As Luo Sheng made a methodical statement, all the executives present at the meeting, Xu Yongcheng, Zhang Bowen, and Feng Yi were all stunned.

Luo Sheng continued: "In addition, the average storage scale of each of these 165 data centers must reach 6000PB, or 6.14 million TB of data."

After the voice fell, the meeting room was quiet for a while, and Zhang Bowen finally couldn't help but said: "My God, President Luo, are you sure this is not a joke?"

Luo Sheng said without hesitation: "Nonsense, do you think I am joking? By 2020 we must have at least 200 data centers worldwide."

Xu Yong stared at his fingers blindly. He is a data emperor and has a strong mental arithmetic ability. He immediately began to calculate and talk to himself. Everyone in the audience heard him talk to himself:

"With 200 data centers, at a scale of 6000PB, a data center needs about 160,000 servers. If you use 8TB×18 storage servers, there are about 42700 storage servers. If you use 2000 A rough calculation of 10,000 yuan per server means that the hardware cost of a data center will cost 1.96 billion yuan. This is not counting the cost of the computer room and other venues, so it's about 2 billion yuan."

"Also, the electricity bills that follow are also scary. According to this scale, the data center consumes 64,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour. According to some areas where commercial electricity is cheap, the commercial electricity standard of 0.45 yuan. In a year, about 251 million yuan in electricity bills will be burned."

"In order to provide cloud services, you also need to pay broadband operators about 100,000 Gb of dedicated line access fees per month. Calculated based on the 330Gb average export broadband, you have to pay about 400 million yuan in network fees each year."

"In other words, electricity, internet, labor, and operation and maintenance costs will total 700 million yuan in a year. If you don't count the region or exchange rate changes, multiply it by 200, and the operating expenses will cost 140 billion yuan a year. Yuan budget. In addition, the cost of building 200 data centers is roughly estimated to cost an additional 400 billion yuan... I need quick-acting rescue pills~~"

As he said, Xu Yong's expression became more and more exaggerated.

The other people in the meeting couldn't help but laugh, but they secretly slapped their lips when they heard his data. Although it is not accurate, it is still ten or nine at such a large number. In front of such a huge base, it is several hundred million. The gap with a few hundred million less can be ignored.

No wonder the boss would say "Krypton Gold", no wonder he would say that IBM would be pleasantly surprised to wait for the Bluestar Technology Group as the God of Wealth.

Luo Sheng still said calmly: "You are calculating based on ten or fifteen years later. I guarantee that by that time, the annual revenue of Bluestar Technology Group has exceeded 100 billion dollars, Therefore, the investment is great, but don’t panic, we will make more and more money."

Hearing this, everyone felt that the boss was simply Chi Guoguo's rhythm of drawing them big pie.

But I don't know why. Everyone thinks that although this pie is untouchable, it can smell the fragrance inexplicably, which makes people get goose bumps all over the body, and they boil deep inside.
