Global monopoly of technology

Luo Sheng's support for cloud computing services has naturally become a hot topic of exchange in this industry summit forum.

In the afternoon, the organizer hosted a "BALT" or "L-BAT" symposium in a deputy hall. The heads of the four major domestic Internet technology giants gathered together. This is quite rare and the first time.

Naturally, the popularity here is also very hot, attracting more than 70 media and thousands of industry professionals to attend the conference.

...

"Mr. Luo’s speech on cloud computing in the morning was very wonderful, so I’m very curious that cloud computing requires such a large investment. According to you, the Bluestar Group spent 45 billion yuan when it came up, which is undoubtedly an astronomical figure. I am afraid that there is no second company in the industry that can use such a large amount of capital to invest."

The host introduced the topic, and the opening focused on the concept of cloud computing services. Okay, the host praised Luo Sheng's eyes and said it was wonderful, but in fact, he also heard the cloud.

But that’s true, the host.

At the symposium, Luo Sheng and the four major IT giants all sat on a single sofa. After listening to the host, he picked up the microphone next to him and said: "A huge amount of capital investment is naturally very important. , But the issue of money is actually not the most critical issue."

Moderator: "Oh?"

Luo Sheng said: "Data information is the foundation of cloud computing services. You may not be able to do it without data and funds. So I think the four domestic'BALT' companies are the most suitable companies for cloud computing services. Because they are all I have the data, and it is the key data."

After a short pause, Luo Sheng said like a few treasures:

"Based on the data of content search, since the web2.0 era, everyone has become a media, everyone is a self-media, and produces content on the Internet, including text, pictures, videos, etc."

"Based on e-commerce data, with the development of e-commerce, online transactions are booming. Each of these transactions contains information about buyers, sellers, and the entire value supply chain behind the goods."

"Based on social data, social networks are not only the role of communication between people. Social data also includes various important user profile information such as people's preferences, life trajectories, spending power, and value orientation."

"So I think'BALT' is very suitable to enter this field, of course, other companies can also, but relatively speaking, more investment is required."

In the end, Luo Sheng nodded his head to indicate that he had finished speaking, and put the microphone aside, picked up a bottle of water and took a sip.

At the same time, the host looked at the other three guests and said: "Mr. Luo has already shared a lot of content about cloud computing, so if the three can also talk about it, it is the first, the three understanding of cloud computing , The second is whether the three have any plans for cloud computing to enter this field? Mr. Li will come first?"

After a while, everyone looked at the head of Baidu, who also looked very young, but he was very formal in his suit and leather shoes.

Mr. Li immediately spoke:

"Cloud computing is a little bit more polite. It is old wine in a new bottle. It has nothing new. In the early days, ten or twenty years ago, everyone talked about the relationship between the client and the server. Internet web interface services, now we talk about cloud computing, in fact, its essence is the same."

"The main work is done on the server side. What the client needs to do is getting simpler and simpler. Isn't this concept right? Yes, this is a very correct concept, and it is not a concept that has only recently emerged. It existed more than ten years ago, but it is really not easy for the traditional software industry to lean on this side."

"So this is why I am not as optimistic as Mr. Luo, and I have to pour cold water on this thing a little bit. You said that you are Microsoft Office, and you want to make it so that everything is done in the cloud. I don’t want anything, this is more or less a bit, it feels thankless to hit the right hand with the left hand."

Obviously, Li is always not optimistic. After the two or three-minute speeches are over, the host looks at Xiao Ma, who has organized the language when President Li speaks, and then said:

"More than ten years ago, Sun Computer Sun Microsystems also proposed that the network is a computer, but almost no one believes that, including sales clients, they have done it, but it was too early, so it became a martyr."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh. When this sentence came out, the media director immediately gave the lens to the founder of Bluestar Technology. At this moment, Luo Sheng also has a smile on his face, and his expression still shows that it is still very incomparable. Easy.

Before they said it, Luo Sheng had expected that they would say it a long time ago, and it really hasn't changed. They said the same in the previous life.

The implication is that Bluestar Technology might become the next "martyr" rhythm.

After a while, Xiao Ma continued to carry forward: "...not only will the transformation fail, it will also cause many problems. In fact, the concepts advocated by cloud computing are still too early. Mr. Li just mentioned that search and email have just been born. The cloud-based processing method is used at the time."

"If we say that in the future, all kinds of integrated business software systems, including various management systems in enterprises, can be processed in the cloud, and they may not be processed by the local LAN server, but by the public infrastructure of the public network. It is indeed very imaginative to have computing power, processing power and even logic components like water and electricity. I think it may take you hundreds of years to realize this thing, but it is still too early."

Xiao Ma's speech is over, obviously he is not optimistic about cloud computing services.

At this time, Luo Sheng suddenly picked up the microphone and smiled calmly: "For a brand-new field, it is understandable to enter cautiously. It should be. So Bluestar Technology also invested 45 billion yuan, there is no global Allin. field."

Everyone at the meeting was dumbfounded.

The heart of the big guys at the moment: Ronaldinho, can you chat?If we continue to talk like this, we will really kill the sky.

Only 45 billion?This sound made people want to curse, and it was so annoying.

Luo Sheng didn't know that everyone was rolling their eyes, and he continued to add: "We have the right to treat this investment as the cost of trial and error. We believe that the cost of trial and error is much lower than the cost of making mistakes. The cost of trial and error may be a loss of money. This is acceptable; but the cost of making mistakes may not be a matter of losing a little money, but may be a matter of facing an existential crisis."

The host was forcibly held back, but some of the industry professionals who attended the meeting felt very depressed.

It’s really hard to stand and talk. You spent tens of billions of dollars. Bluestar's revenue in the first quarter was more than 10 billion, and it was more than 50 billion a year. We can afford to lose, but our companies are not losing money when they face capital losses. Now, this is really an existential crisis, okay?

We can't afford to lose, okay?

But everyone has nothing to say, because Luo Sheng said earlier that at present, the four “BALT” companies that are suitable for cloud computing services in China are all profitable and each have their own user data accumulation.

After Luo Sheng put down the microphone, the host looked at Mr. Ma of Ari, who immediately joked:

"I think Mr. Luo talked about cloud computing very well just now, including the morning. Anyway, I listened with gusto. It's really tasteful. Maybe it's because I'm the only person who doesn't understand technology."

Everyone laughed.

"But my understanding of cloud computing is that it is finally a sharing mechanism for data processing and storage. I think... the trial and error and mistakes mentioned by President Luo just now also make me think about a problem. Mr. Li said that there is nothing new now, nothing more than'old wine in new bottles'. To be honest, this is what I fear most."

"Old wine is filled with new bottles, you can't see through it, but this thing suddenly bursts out when there is no reaction at all, the most terrible thing. If I have never heard of this thing or even have no foundation, this is not terrible. Just like Yahoo came out as a search engine, and it did a good job, and then Google came out. Many people think this is similar to me."

"Later, Google almost killed Yahoo. Now Yahoo’s market value is less than half of Google’s. Even when Google’s market value was at its highest, Yahoo was only about one-third of it. So I think that any new things will come out, we’re serious. Think about it, pay attention, there may be new problems."

The host immediately looked at Mr. Ma and asked: "So is Mr. Ma optimistic about cloud computing?"

President Ma replied without hesitation: “I think President Luo can invest tens of billions of dollars without hesitation. It is definitely not a decision made by a hot brain. I personally believe that President Luo, if a person does not do anything for himself It’s mostly a liar to do it but keep encouraging others to do it."

"But if a person is not only doing it by himself but also investing on a large scale, it is basically impossible to fake it. No one will cheat themselves and ask others to do it. I think this person is amazing, so if Ari has The spare money will definitely consider trying and making mistakes in the field of cloud computing services, which is a pit."

The host smiled and said: "Positive and bad are evenly divided. It seems that the topic of cloud computing has been talked about, and the winner will not be determined in a short while."

The symposium lasted for about forty to fifty minutes. After it was over, Luo Sheng returned to the hotel and took a rest. The IT Leaders Summit Forum Exchange Conference will continue for two days, but Luo Sheng does not plan to participate in the next two days. , Take off at night and leave.
