Global monopoly of technology

Samuel, the head of IBM on the other side of the Pacific, was also watching Lens Semiconductor's press conference in the middle of the night. He was inexplicably angry when he heard the news.

Because after learning about Bluestar Technology's "Kunpeng Project", IBM is also working on corresponding solutions. Once Bluestar Technology succeeds, IBM will be able to provide the servers required by the subsea data center, thereby earning a lot of dollar bills. .

This is a large list that may be as high as billions of dollars. Who is not greedy.

Never thought that Luo Sheng would actually give orders to servers with worse technology and more expensive costs, and he was obviously planning to get rid of North American supply chain partners.

At the same time, Lens Semiconductor's press conference was on site.

Xu Zhijun said loudly to everyone: "The following applause invites Mr. Luo Sheng, the founder, chairman and CEO of Blue Coast and Bluestar Technology, to take the stage to introduce the details of this cooperation."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a burst of warm applause. Luo Sheng also stood up from his seat, turned his head to salute the audience, and then calmly walked onto the press conference stage and shook hands with Old Xu. After one hand, he also took over the press conference from the other hand.

On the stage, Xu Zhijun came to the side, and Luo Sheng stood in the midfield of the stage.

"I'm very happy. Lens Semiconductor is the closest and important link between the Côte d'Azur and Hua, and the relationship and communication between directors are also closer." Luo Sheng's voice resounded through the audience, and he instantly held it on stage. The audience.

Blue Coast holds a 34% stake in Lens Semiconductor, which is equivalent to a veto on major issues at the shareholders meeting. However, it has never been used so far. Luo Sheng is only leading the mobile processor in Lens Semiconductor.

Since more than half of the board of Lens Semiconductor is controlled, the two parties have reached a balance.

"Recently, I have seen some news media hype that Côte d’Azur, Bluestar Technology, and Hua are possible mergers, and such topics seem to be very marketable, but Côte d’Azur has no communication genes. Come together too?"

Luo Sheng spoke unhurriedly, but when he uttered the word "merger", the people in the IT industry off the court were still shocked. Thinking about this, I felt terrified. The companies themselves are It's a Big Mac, and if it goes to merge, it will be the rhythm of the super-tech giant.

After a while, Luo Sheng, who was pacing back and forth on the stage, continued: "This reminds me of a passage that Google CEO Dr. Eric Schmidt said at the first developer conference on the Riviera. It still makes a lot of sense at this moment. Every company should try to do what it does best. The communications business is Huawei’s strengths, but not the strengths of the Blue Coast."

"From the perspective of the Côte d’Azur, what we do is work hard to cooperate with other companies, especially Huawei. The company’s culture is very similar, and at the same time, we cooperate with many data services. Old Xu has shown what he can do, but What you need to know is that if a person or a company has not done it personally, they will not understand how difficult it is to integrate these things. The right time and place are indispensable."

"But today we are talking about Bluestar Technology. The'Kunpeng Project' allowed us to focus on the underwater. The project has achieved exciting breakthroughs since its inception. We think it has the possibility of commercial use, so this time We signed 4 large-scale submarine data centers with'Kunpeng Server', with a server order contract worth RMB 11.7 billion. This is just the beginning."

Having said that, Luo Sheng pressed the small remote control in his hand, and the big screen showed a map of China, which also appeared in the Bohai Rim Economic Belt, the Yangtze River Delta Economic Belt, the Pearl River Delta Economic Belt and the Qinghai Lake in the west. Four markers.

Luo Sheng turned back to face all the audience: "But this is only the trial operation phase of the'Kunpeng Project'. We did not even include it in the official commercial phase internally, because our engineers still have a greater understanding of the technology of the subsea data center. There is room for improvement, so this is the technology accumulation stage."

As soon as I heard this, the audience felt stomachache, especially the international friends and businessmen wanted to breathe fragrance.

Is this human?

The server alone costs 11.7 billion yuan, and the construction of the entire four submarine data centers will cost 20 billion yuan. Then you said it was to test the water?

Can you do whatever you want with money?

But then again, those friends who are studying the submarine data center who are crossing the river through the'Kunpeng Project' are indeed anxious, because there are too many behind.

"Bluestar Technology Group plans to budget 30 billion U.S. dollars to build new data centers in the following regions of the world."

Luo Sheng didn't know what the international friends and businessmen thought, and didn't care too much if he knew it. He only pressed the small remote control, and the big screen behind him turned into a world map.

Twelve markers appeared near the coast of China, two markers appeared in Southeast Asia, two markers appeared in the Sea of ​​Japan, one marker appeared on the southeastern coast of Japan, one marker appeared in the Arabian Gulf, and one marker appeared in the Persian Gulf. , 4 markers appeared in the northern part of the Mediterranean Sea, 1 marker appeared on the French coastline, 1 marker appeared on the German coastline, and 1 marker appeared on the southeast coastline of England.

Then there were 8 marks on the west coast of North America, 9 marks on the east coast, 3 marks on the Caribbean Sea, 2 marks on South America, and 1 mark on Australia.

Mainly concentrated in the northern temperate zone, covering the main densely populated areas of the world.

...

"My God..." When Samuel, who was following the press conference, saw these marks, he didn't know why, but he felt heartache when he thought that the orders for these subsea data centers were taken first.

Spending 30 billion US dollars to build 49 subsea data centers, if IBM undertakes the server orders among them, it means a super large order close to 15 billion US dollars.

But it is more panic. This is not just a simple loss of a big order, but a chance for the rise of a competitor.

"No, no, we must stop Huawei's expansion." Samuel murmured.

...

At the same time, Luo Sheng at the press conference said: "We are very confident that we will realize the world's technologically leading subsea data center in 2015, that is, since 2015, it will be put into use, and 49 super-large subsea data centers are located in these areas If everything goes well, we will achieve this exciting goal in 2020, so this cooperation is only the opening game. We are full of expectations for the future, thank you."

After speaking, Luo Sheng walked off the stage in a burst of warm applause, and Old Xu once again appeared on the stage to finish the "Kunpeng 0611" conference.

At the end of the press conference, under the witness of all the media and industry insiders, Lao Xu represented Huawei and Lansi Semiconductor, and Luo Sheng represented Bluestar Technology to formally complete the signing ceremony of four submarine data centers worth RMB 11.7 billion.

Submarine data center, this keyword has become the focus of the scientific and technological circles after the press conference, and of course the self-developed "Kunpeng 0611" server chip is indispensable.

This is undoubtedly another exciting news in the field of science and technology. The submarine data center, which is a cutting-edge technology field proposed, led, innovated and leading the world by domestic technology companies, is a very rare example.

North American high-tech companies such as Microsoft, Google, IBM, and Amazon are also developing related technologies for subsea data centers, but obviously they are all behind.

Although Luo Sheng said it was a test run, this is also a humble expression. With such a large investment, the test run is also running, and it is also profitable to recover costs.

Colleagues are very clear that the pioneers in this field have actually led them by a large margin, and at the same time they are soberly aware that the advantages of reduced operating costs brought by subsea data centers will soon be applied to cloud computing services.

Bluestar Technology's Nebula Star-Cloud will provide better quality solutions, while the cost will be lower, so it will inevitably bring stronger international competitiveness.

This undoubtedly makes Bluestar Technology, which is already the overlord in the field of cloud services, even more invincible in this field.
