Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 454 [Microsoft can't hold it anymore]

Through the exchange with Cheng Jianhua, Luo Sheng roughly judged that the country has ideas and wants to get this thing up.

When Cheng Jianhua came to find himself, he obviously hopes that he can take the lead as an industry leader.

It is not enough for the country to be determined, and the entire industry also needs to have sufficient determination.

Because the replacement of Internet protocols involves the entire industrial chain, and there must be a wait and see between the entire industrial chain. If this happens, it will inevitably slow down the pace of development.

After all, a country is a country, and all aspects of the plan have been considered before things have been done.

"No problem, Director Cheng, I am willing to contribute my own strength and influence to actively promote IPv6." Luo Sheng considered it for a moment and gave the other party an exact answer.

When Cheng Jianhua and his accompanying colleagues saw Luo Sheng’s statement, they were very energetic. They immediately said: "Mr. Luo, the plan requires the'Snowman Project' experimental project to build 25 root servers, and the domestic distribution of 1 main root and 3 auxiliary roots. We want Côte d'Azur to be able to undertake the operation of one of the secondary root servers."

It is worth mentioning that the root server operations are voluntary operation units.

Luo Sheng nodded: "This is not a big problem, but as an experimental project led by a company, it cannot be said that 4 root servers are placed in the country. If IPv6 is really going to make this experiment successful, it cannot only be decided by China. , We have to fight for the support of more countries internationally. I think the technical problem is not too difficult. As a root server, we must first ensure its security. The root server as a domain name resolution is not only for the Chinese domain name, but for the global Services."

Cheng Jianhua agreed and said: "Yes, at this point, any root server should have such a responsibility."

Luo Sheng added: "The key is that if the current 13 root servers have to synchronize data with each other, the future IPv6 root server will be established, between the more than 20 IPv6 root servers and the 13 IPv4 root servers. You must also synchronize the data, otherwise it won’t work if you parse it out differently from others. There are also issues about how to ensure data security."

"Before, I was worried that the root servers are all abroad, and foreign countries can collect these data. In fact, we are going to implement IPv6. People will have the same concerns as us. After you analyze these data, how can they ensure the security and privacy of their data and resolve trust? The problem is a problem that must be considered in order to win more national support internationally. Technical problems are not a big deal or too difficult."

Cheng Jianhua and his colleague who came with him looked at each other for a moment. Luo Sheng's remarks greatly increased their confidence that they are engaged in high-tech. It is no big deal to hear about technical problems. It can be said to be very encouraging.

Undoubtedly, in the following talks, the Azure Coast Laboratory naturally took over the main role of the "Snowman Project" project, became the most core development center under its jurisdiction, and received 1.2 billion yuan in national scientific research funding. .

1.2 billion yuan is a large number, but it is also relatively speaking, and for the Blue Coast company, it is really a small amount of money.

But one yard goes to one yard.

...

Entering April, when Luo Sheng was dealing with the layout of the "Snowman Project", the next-generation console war in the global gaming industry had unknowingly continued for four months.

Microsoft headquarters.

At this time, Don Mattrick, president of Microsoft's interactive entertainment department, is in the CEO's office.

Microsoft President Ballmer said dissatisfied: "Tang, your department has dragged down the company's overall performance in the quarterly report. Your department lost $2.9 billion this quarter, but it did not curb the expansion of ACC... End this damn. The company can’t stand the subsidy war."

Ballmer really can't stand it anymore. Microsoft's stock price has been sluggish recently, always hovering between 210 billion US dollars and 220 billion US dollars. He can imagine that once this financial report is released, the stock price may fall by about 6%.

The total market value of the next-door Bluestar Technology Group has reached an unprecedented $1.53 trillion, which is equivalent to the total market value of seven Microsoft. This is the rhythm of breaking out of the earth.

Facing the dissatisfaction of his boss, Don Matrick could only shut up obediently, his performance report was in a mess, and he didn't dare to speak too loudly.

In the context of the fiery subsidy war between the two sides, the global sales of ACC mainframes have accumulated to 24.8 million units. From the perspective of loss, the Côte d'Azur is even worse.

Microsoft's interactive entertainment department lost 2.9 billion US dollars this quarter, and the entire host alliance, which is fighting the rise of ACC, lost 4.2 billion US dollars. Not only Microsoft can't stand it, but Sony's allies can't stand it.

The Côte d'Azur has lost US$5.5 billion during this period, and competitors have run out of bullets, but Yao Jianhong is currently fighting vigorously.

With tens of billions of dollars in cash flow lying down, the company issued the latest round of 3A corporate bonds on a large scale last month.

Ability to burn money?

For now, no group company on the planet has the confidence to say that it can definitely beat Luo Sheng.

It turns out that money can really do that...

However, those third-party game developers made crazy profits this quarter, their revenues soared, and the company's stocks soared.

I have been sucked blood by the first party all the time. This time the first party rushed to bleed each other, and they all flowed into the third party's pocket. It was really cool.

Don Mattrick walked out of the CEO's office dejectedly, stood at the door and shook his head without stopping.

After returning to his office, he started a conference call with Sony and other allies, and finally reached an agreement to end this damn money burning war. The landlord’s house has no more food.

After the conference call, Don Matrick picked up the phone again to dial a number, but he gave up.

On the next day, I took the first direct flight to China.

...

The headquarters and reception room of the Star River City of the Blue Coast Company.

There are a total of six or seven foreigners from Don Mattrick, Sony and Nintendo executives in this meeting room. It was not Luo Sheng who met them, but Yao Jianhong, the company's number two figure.

As for Luo Sheng, he is busy leading the scientific research team to climb science and technology and is not free.

Lao Yao knew that when the competitor took the initiative to contact the door, it indicated that they had already accepted the defeat, and the small money in the pocket was not allowed.

At this time, Don Mattrick took the initiative to ask what he thought and humiliated but had to say.

"Mr. Yao, how do you think this thing ends?"

Old Tang felt too humiliated, but there was no alternative. Ballmer would not be giving his department a blood transfusion, and his teammates were running out of ammunition and food, so he had to come over and sign a new contract for the "Department of Power and Humiliation".

Yao Jianhong tried to reply calmly in Luo Sheng's tone: "We do not want to fight, we are willing to make friends with partners all over the world, so the Riviera is willing to provide the Xbox with the technical solution of the Ark Compiler. Have a say."

After speaking, Lao Yao looked at Sony’s global vice president here, and said nothing.

It is really easy to use. After obtaining the technical solutions provided by the Riviera, the overall performance of Sony's PS3 has been miraculously improved by about 27%.

For a moment, Yao Jianhong added: "The conditions on the Côte d'Azur are very simple. You have to cancel the platform monopoly of your exclusive best-selling masterpieces such as the Halo series and Final Fantasy series. That's all."

Don Matrick refused: "No, Mr. Yao, this is too unfair, unless the best-selling games exclusively owned by the ACC platform are also open to our host platform."

As industry professionals, they know very well that the Côte d’Azur’s attempt is to create a closed content ecosystem, because the volume is large enough. Once this clause is agreed, masterpieces like Ubisoft’s "Assassin’s Creed" will no longer be available outside of ACC. Other host platforms too.

What really scares them is that the third-party game developers acquired by Luo Sheng can rank among the top ten third parties in the world, which means that more than half of the top ten are Luo Sheng’s elite troops.

Taking this as the main body, and then attracting other swinging third parties, ACC's content ecological advantages will become stronger and stronger, eventually forming a Matthew effect, and the strong will remain strong.

The other first parties will live in the shadow of ACC and linger, becoming a tool for the other party to avoid antitrust.

Just like Intel is to AMD.

Super giants such as Sony and Microsoft are also arrogant. How can they accept the humiliating position of being a tool for evading antitrust?

At this moment, Yao Jianhong saw that Don Matrick did not agree, and said decisively: "OK, in that case, there is no need to talk about it. Let's continue fighting."
