Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 617 [Afflicted SIA]

The people of SIA are not stupid, and it is impossible for the parliament to pass this kind of funding proposal, and the technology companies in North America are not even stupid. In the tearing scene in the conference room at this moment, an SIA executive mocked:

"You have come up with DNA storage technology. The current data center infrastructure will soon be obsolete, so you want us to take over and then rot in your hands? Excuse me, which young genius among you came up with this idea? ?"

To say what the biggest pain point of cloud computing services is, it is undoubtedly the infrastructure such as data centers, which is the culprit leading to the high investment cost of cloud computing services, high investment in hardware facilities, and huge electricity bills. As a result, the operating investment costs of cloud service providers have been pushed up year after year because of the continuous increase in data demand.

Even some large companies seem to be overwhelmed. After all, there are only a few technology giants such as Bluestar Technology, Microsoft, and Google that are not short of money.

But DNA storage technology perfectly solves these problems. The cost is almost a sharp drop, and maintenance costs are hardly consumed, and it can last for thousands of years. The original super data center has a site area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters, with the same specifications. DNA storage technology only needs one or two small bottles to put it in.

When using this new technology to build a data center in the future, the cost can be reduced to about 80% of the traditional data center, and the competitiveness of the sudden drop in cost conversion is unparalleled.

The cloud services provided by providers with this technology will inevitably be cheaper. In other words, the cost of Bluestar Technology’s Nebulas Star-Cloud service will be further reduced on a large scale after accessing emerging technologies. Better market competitiveness.

What's terrible is that even if the price is cut by more than half, there is still a profit to make. For other competitors, it is absolutely disastrous news.

At this time, I’m either stupid or want to die faster.

It can be said that the previous US$1 trillion stimulus plan of the United States and the United States has been in the water again. Now both the outside media industry and competitors have suddenly realized that when North America’s US$1 trillion technology industry stimulus plan was launched, Luo Sheng announced that Bluestar Technology was straightforward and announced that the company had also begun to cut prices. At that time, everyone felt that he was overpowering.

Nowadays, after seeing the emergence of new technologies such as DNA storage, I realized my superficiality. It turns out that people are already ready for big moves.

At the end of the day, everyone was a little tired, and they gradually withdrew from the'Zuan State', and Zhang Bowen said again: "There is no point in arguing like this. Otherwise, I'll just say it, Bluestar Technology Bottom line."

Hearing this, John Nobel and the others immediately looked attentively. Zhang Bowen said in an orderly manner: “Don’t think about forcible seizures. To tell you the truth, we do all the data including backups in Europe and Southeast Asia. After considering this aspect, if you play rogue tricks, we definitely have the determination to kill each other and hurt each other. In the words of our chairman: As long as your losses are greater than Bluestar Technology, I will earn blood."

John Knoll and others’ complexions condensed. This is where they are most angry. If it weren’t for fear that Luo Sheng, a lunatic, would really do such a crazy thing, the assets of Bluestar Technology in North America would have been Frozen and took over.

This incident was threatened by Zhang Bowen at the negotiating table, making them angry and helpless.

Anyway, everyone has been torn apart, and in today’s closed-door meeting, both sides have removed the pretense side. This kind of performance can be seen by the outside media. What is playing in the closed-door meeting is real.

John Nuault said coldly: "Are you talking about the bottom line or a threat?"

Zhang Bowen smiled, did not respond to him, but continued to say his own words: "First of all, it is okay for Bluestar Technology to withdraw from the North American market, but all the legal assets belonging to our company must be taken away. We will not sell it. This is the last time I emphasize. However, we can place these production materials in the periphery of your country, such as Mexico and Canada, and continue to operate. We lock the entire United States, but if users jump out of North America by themselves, we have the right to continue to provide them with corresponding services ."

"Secondly, we have already calculated the cost of infrastructure migration and landing. It will roughly cost 28 billion U.S. dollars. You have to bear 65% of this amount, or 18.2 billion U.S. dollars. Don’t stare at me, it’s you. It is really necessary to completely liquidate the loss of Bluestar Technology. The loss is immeasurable. We have the sincerity of reconciliation, but it does not mean that we have no bottom line. This is our bottom line."

Lao Zhang enumerated the conditions, which immediately provoked the other party into a violent rage, and then reconciled.

The people on the old American side were the most annoyed that they couldn't grasp the handle of Bluestar Technology. The other side's lawyers almost thoroughly understood the laws of North America. After the "Prism Gate" scandal was exposed, how bright Bluestar Technology was set off.

The influence of brand value and the dependence of Bluestar Technology on the user habits of Internet users across the United States over the past decade will encourage many local users to use "scientific" means to surf the Internet.

John Nobel said: "OK, the Bluestar technology matter is temporarily set aside, Mr. Yao, the Azure Coast, I would like to hear if the company you represent is more excessive."

Seeing Old Man John’s expressionless face, Yao Jianhong smiled innocently and brilliantly: "Mr. John, the Côte d’Azur is not excessive, and as always, I’m still saying that. The Côte d’Azur is walking on two legs. Don’t think about it. Let me give up the path of self-study. If so, there is no need to talk about it."

John was noncommittal, still expressionless, and said nothing.

Yao Jianhong put away his smiling face and continued: "So, it's actually very simple. We have to stick to the path of technological independence, and we are also willing to continue to communicate with SIA. As long as you sell your chips to us, we will continue to buy. Of course , Is the most advanced."

"In exchange, I can withdraw from the North American market on the Riviera, but you must lift the blockade of high-end equipment and speed up the advancement of our plans for the entire Riviera semiconductor industry chain.

John sneered: "Can I understand that your plan does not seem to be as smooth as what you advertised. It is not so easy to rebuild a closed loop of the integrated circuit industry."

Yao Jianhong said, “You’re right, we still have no technical links to get through, but we are only limited to the top-notch craftsmanship level, and it’s only a matter of time before we reach this level. We have been silently preparing for ten years. In the words of the chairman, it’s a big deal that in another ten years, the fact that you turn your face and refuse to recognize people, we have already deduced it ten years ago."

The last sentence of this made the people of SIA extremely upset, but they didn't know how to retaliate, so they had to hold back uncomfortably.

At this time, Yao Jianhong added: "But what I need to remind you is, Mr. John, if we get through all the links by ourselves, it will be a life-and-death competition, not a win-win cooperation. It is true that I cannot tell you. Let’s make it clear here that although the Côte d’Azur is working hard to maintain and open up the international market as much as possible, we are also ready to lose all overseas markets.”

"Sitting on the Greater China market, we can’t die, and Silicon Valley’s ICT companies will die without the Greater China market share. We will eat their share step by step. Finally, we are still alive. The next step is Silicon Valley. Technology giants, I don’t say we are sure of victory, but you also don’t have it, do you?"

"The decline of Kodak, the decline of Motorola, the decline of Nokia, why can't Qualcomm and Intel decline? The same is true for the Riviera, but for now, the technological innovation strength of our Riviera Lab is the world’s highest, and we have also done extreme survival. Assumptions and deductions, on the whole, our future is promising and we are still in a stage of rapid growth. The capital market’s bet on us has already explained a lot."

Full of threats, the key is that SIA people dare not say anything.

Even with the cards that the Côte d’Azur has turned over and played, it is difficult for SIA to take it, let alone some cards that have not been revealed.

If the media reporters guarding outside see all this happening in the conference room, it is definitely the scene of the famous paintings of the century. If there is no picture and only voice communication, they will definitely think that Yao Jianhong is on the SIA side at this moment.

The Luo Sheng team's performance during the negotiations was really too strong. Coupled with the home court advantage, SIA was very embarrassed.

In the final analysis, it lies in mastering the core technology and cutting-edge technology. This is the biggest confidence of the Luo Sheng team. The surging torrent of the big technology wave is unavoidably shifted by personal will. Anyone who blocks the big trend will be ruthlessly washed down.

After a while, John said decisively: "I ask for adjournment and reschedule negotiations in three days."

In an extremely passive situation at the moment, John Knoll decisively chooses "intermission", he has to think about the strategy, and it is impossible to reach a consensus in such a meeting.

The people on Luo Sheng said that there was no problem. The first interview and consultation ended in this way, and no substantive consensus was reached. They were all exploring the bottom line.

The door of the conference room reopened again, and the negotiators from both sides also walked out, and the reporters crouched in the lobby of the outer door saw this scene and immediately fell into the noise of the vegetable market.

Zhang Bowen was immediately surrounded by a group of reporters, with microphones handed over before him.

At this time, Lao Zhang stopped and temporarily accepted an interview from the media. He only said with a smile on his face and said in an easygoing manner: "In the initial consultation, both parties had a frank conversation, fully exchanged opinions and suggestions, and exchanged the atmosphere. They are all very active and have enhanced mutual understanding. Both sides agreed that the talks are beneficial and satisfactory, and will arrange the next consultation as soon as possible. Please continue to pay attention."

Lao Zhang only said so much, and then he was out of the besieged army of journalists under the protection of a group of bodyguards.

A domestic media reporter looked at Zhang Bowen who was leaving, and said to himself: "How do I feel that he is talking black words? The active subtext can be interpreted as a lot of opinions, and the subtext of frank conversation can interpret you. Let’s be honest; the subtext of the exchange of opinions can be interpreted as each saying their own words, and the satisfactory subtext can be interpreted as the fact that the two sides have reached out to each other’s bottom line, reached a consensus and did not turn their faces."

The partner is very sure: "It's definitely a black word, it has an inner taste."
