Global monopoly of technology

On the coastline, there are a large number of staff on the yacht deck at the moment, the submersible has been put down, and there are also several sailors in the sea.

And Luo Sheng has left the deck, discussing technical issues with several key researchers in a house inside the yacht.

"If the subsea data center works smoothly in terms of technology, operation, economy, and environmental protection, it can completely change cloud computing." Luo Sheng looked around at several senior technical research experts in the same room.

A senior engineering technician said: "It's not easy. No one has done it before. There is no experience to follow. You can only explore it yourself. It requires a lot of trial and error research. It will inevitably lead to a result, that is, a huge amount of research and development funds and time. Invest."

Hearing this, Luo Sheng nodded and smiled: “Of course, this is groundbreaking, as it should be. Cloud computing is the company’s core strategy, and our [Star-Cloud] solution currently has no competitors in the industry. No matter how much money and time is spent on the project, it is an investment in the future."

Luo Sheng formulated a three-step strategy for this project, that is, three major stages.

The first stage of work is to do a lot of related subject research and model demonstration, that is, the preparatory work, which belongs to the theoretical research stage;

The second stage is the experimental stage. The focus of the work is to operate a single pod with low power usage. The deployment depth is no more than 100 meters and the distance from the land is no more than 15 nautical miles. This stage is to demonstrate the light-off operation for up to 5 years, which is the warranty. Five years.First, the prototype underwater data center will be tested on the coast of the East China Sea. At this time, it must be powered by a land-based grid.

The third stage is the formal application stage. At this stage, all the technical precipitation of the subsea data center has been quite mature and can be fully deployed.

The eastern part of China has a long coastline of 18,000 kilometers. The developed areas are concentrated around the coastline of 18,000 kilometers. From a global perspective, most of the population is concentrated in the three continents of Europe, Asia and North America in the northern temperate zone.

Luo Sheng’s goal is simple. The first phase will focus on the mainland. The comprehensive deployment of submarine data centers will be concentrated in the three sea areas. The investment and construction of the Bohai Data Center will radiate the entire Bohai Rim Economic Belt, the East China Sea Data Center will radiate the Yangtze River Delta Economic Belt, and the investment and construction The South China Sea Data Center radiates the southern Pearl River Delta Economic Zone.

These three economic circles can be said to be the most prosperous economic zone in China. They all happen to be around the coast and are the best choice for building a super-giant submarine data center.

The domestic deployment is completed, and then it can expand overseas.

Prior to this, the strategic focus of Bluestar Technology or the Cote d'Azur under the helm of Luo Sheng was mainly on overseas European and American markets.

But the times are different, and the general environment is quietly changing. This is an issue that must be considered as a multinational technology group.

The next era is an era of great changes unseen in a century. China begins to move step by step to the center stage of the world, and the West begins to decline.

Whether the strategic focus is to the west or east, Luo Sheng can certainly vote with his feet.

There is no doubt that it is placed in the motherland in the period of rapid rise, not in the declining West. In the words of a great man, it is to walk on two legs with parallel rules, so that the road is stable and will not fall.

Therefore, from now on, whether the domestic market or the overseas market, it is best to go hand in hand. If you have to focus on that side, it must be a bit more important to the Chinese market.

Only a firm strategy like this, not to say that you can win, but at least you can be undefeated. Even if the overseas market is frequently suppressed by the West in the future, or even completely lost, it will not die. Relying on the huge domestic market size, no matter how the European and American countries suppress it, it is certain. refuses to die.

As long as you don't die, you can come back.

As the so-called staying in the green hills without worrying about firewood, Luo Sheng, as the helm of the Blue Coast and Bluestar Technology, is expanding at the same time, looking forward to the best, and also must consider the worst. To be able to make a headwind even when the worst happens, so as to benefit the invincible, this is a situation that a qualified helm must consider.

After spending most of the day at sea, Luo Sheng returned to land in the afternoon.

The new project of the submarine data center quickly entered the R&D demonstration stage under his leading decision. The initial R&D budget was 122 million yuan. For the Bluestar Technology Group, which has always started with a few billion yuan, this budget seems to be very unlicensed. .

In fact, this is not the case. If you know that this budget is for the first stage of theoretical research, you will not think so.

The road is taken step by step. The first stage does not require too much budget. When the second stage starts, the budget scale will soar. When the third stage is fully deployed, it will cost tens of billions of investment. The magnitude.

The subsea data center project has not been officially disclosed.

...

Time flies. In the closing stage of 2008, Luo Sheng withdrew from the company's tedious operation and management, and spent 80% of his daily work time on technology research and development, which can be said to be full of technology.

At this time, Luo Sheng is a serious professional technology developer, and it is perfect to easily switch from the identity of an entrepreneur to a research developer.

As time passed bit by bit, 2009 has officially ushered in, but the arrival of the new year is not very friendly to the world today.

Entering 2009, it ushered in the most serious moment since the outbreak of the financial crisis, but at this moment, just before 2009, another American company that also provides cloud services, Salesforce (Safs) announced Last year's financial report pushed the long quiet cloud service to the forefront of the industry.

...

Baidu headquarters.

"What are you talking about? A billion dollars?"

At this moment, President Li, the head of Baidu, looked at the chief operating officer who came to report to him with a shocked face. This news was very shocking to him and a little embarrassing.

"Yes, according to the previous year's financial report released by Salesforce, their cloud service revenue exceeded a staggering $1 billion. And Bluestar Technology, recognized by the industry as the number one player in cloud computing services, even though it is entering cloud computing services The field has not disclosed financial information since, but the input of the other party is increasing."

Speaking of this, the chief operating officer of Baidu added: "And after I went to investigate specifically, I discovered that Google, Amazon, and Microsoft have not released financial information on cloud computing, but they are surprisingly consistent and constantly expanding. The scale of investment in cloud computing services."

After speaking, he secretly glanced at President Li, but for a moment, the latter muttered to himself: "How could this be..."

The five sons were full of embarrassment. This shocking news made him involuntarily recall the comments on cloud computing services at the forum summit three years ago.

President Li's speech stated that he would pour cold water on cloud computing, but two or three years later, he never thought that the cold water would hit his face on the road.

The same news was also sent to Teng Xun Xiaoma's desk. He didn't expect this to be the result. He also concluded that it would take hundreds or even thousands of years to think about it that year.

As a result, only three years have passed. To be precise, it is less than three years, two and a half years.

It is reported here that a US company's cloud service revenue is as high as 1 billion U.S. dollars. It is not the number one player in this field, but what about IT giants such as Bluestar Technology, Google, and Microsoft?

None of them disclosed the financial information of specific cloud services, as if they had reached a tacit consensus.

Looking at it now, they are all making a fortune in silence and madly grabbing market share.

If it weren't for Salesforce's financial report data disclosure, the whole world would still be kept in the dark.

Statistics show that in the second half of 2008, when the economy was extremely sluggish, North American IT giants such as Google, Microsoft, and IBM quietly increased their investment in cloud services, with an average investment growth of about 30%.

If there is no prospect in this, how can these technology giants make such a large additional investment?

Salesforce’s annual report data disclosure shocked the industry!

Global media are racing to report that people in the global science and technology community are all startled by their jaws of shock.

Cloud computing was pushed to the cusp of the storm overnight, and the good news media also sprinkled salt on the wounds of Baidu and Tengxun at this time. The news of three years ago was dug out and lashed out wildly.

The latest news, Xiao Ma and President Li didn't want to watch them, and they wanted to hit people.
