Global Monopoly of Technology

The meeting was still going on, Zhang Bowen looked at Luo Sheng: "Mr. Luo, do you want to set up a wholly-owned subsidiary to independently operate the big data and cloud computing service sectors?"

Luo Sheng shook his head and said, "No need, the parent company will do it directly. The existing major subsidiaries will need a lot of data resources in the future. This can be integrated and distributed by the parent company to optimize the allocation of resources. In the future, the core business of the parent company will be It’s big data and cloud computing services.”

Zhang Bowen nodded, and after a while he couldn't help laughing: "It seems that Mr. Luo has already started the arrangement. Of the $5.6 billion raised in this IPO, only $1 billion was brought back to China, and the other $4.6 billion was still offshore. "

"The biggest purpose of the company's IPO financing is to build data centers around the world. Otherwise, it would not have raised so much money this time, and there would have been no second or third financing."

Luo Sheng said.

His logical thinking is very agile, and he usually speaks very fast, but at today's highly confidential core-level executive meeting, he lowered his speech speed for the first time and patiently talked about cloud computing services for everyone.

Fortunately, I have been working with Luo Sheng for a few years, and everyone has adapted to it, and the ability of the people sitting here is not bad, and the poor debts have been wiped out in the past few years.

Although they heard these concepts for the first time, now everyone has a clear logical order.

The most arduous part of what Luo Sheng said was that Feng Yi and the others were still prone to confuse data centers, cloud computing data centers, and big data, and unconsciously regarded these three as the same product or concept.

It took Luo Sheng more than an hour to explain patiently and repeatedly, and only then did everyone sort out the relationship between the three.

While it may seem confusing, there are actually significant differences.

The data center room is a complete set of complex hardware facilities, while cloud computing is a public information resource, and big data is an application scenario in the context of the Internet, including the future mobile Internet and the Internet of Things.

The relationship between the three is closely connected and intersects with each other. Various applications generate huge amounts of data, which need to be processed and analyzed to mine valuable information.

Cloud computing is a technical solution, which can be used to solve the needs of a series of IT infrastructures such as computers, storage, and databases.

There is no doubt that big data is a very important application scenario of cloud computing, and cloud computing provides the best technical solutions for big data processing and data mining.

However, all this must rely on the existence of data centers to achieve implementation. Data centers play the role of infrastructure and are the root of cloud computing.

Cloud computing is the "leaf" of the data center. It promotes the development of the data center through "photosynthesis", and the data center grows as a result, which will feed back the development of cloud computing and provide it with a solid foundation.

These three have different divisions of labor and different levels, but they are interdependent and promote each other.

It is indeed a bit confusing, and it is no wonder that it is confused.

"If you want to play with cloud computing services, you must do a good job on the road of no return." Luo Sheng said with a smile.

"Krypton Gold?"

Everyone spoke in unison, looked at each other, and saw the doubts and confusion in their eyes.

Luo Sheng was also stunned for a while, then reacted quickly and said with a smile: "The subcultural vocabulary in the gamer circle means that money can only become stronger. Simply put, it is to prepare for a super-large investment of capital, time It's not going to be short, it's going to last."

Feng Yi jokingly said: "Boss, co-authoring and managing two companies, do you still have free time to play games?"

The crowd burst into laughter.

But it was obviously a little suspicious that Luo Sheng had no less than five or six meetings a day, and sometimes more than a dozen meetings a day.

He doesn't have to experience it himself, he usually just makes a decision.

But even making a decision is not one or two, and it is divided into different business sectors. It takes a lot of time to think about making a decision.

It has to be said that this is not something that ordinary people can do.

There is no eight-core brain that can’t really turn around. If it was an ordinary person, he would have fainted, let alone make the best judgments and make decisions quickly and efficiently.

After the episode, Luo Sheng took a sip of water, then got up from Director Zhang's chair, and came to a wall in the conference room under everyone's gaze.

There was a large whiteboard on it.

He found a world map, and when an executive saw it, he immediately got up and went to help. It took a while to fix the world map with a whiteboard magnet.

"The specific blueprint is very clearly stored in my mind. I hate PPT, so I take notes and focus." Luo Sheng said after finishing it, and then found ten red whiteboard magnets and placed them in this one. The ten positions on the world map were settled before returning to the chairman's chair.

Xu Yong and others who attended the meeting all looked at the ten signs on the map. Each sign was a country or region, namely: China, Singapore, Japan, Australia, Brazil, Western Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Ten countries with Russia.

Luo Sheng leaned back on the swivel chair and turned to look at the map on the whiteboard. He said leisurely, "This goal is a long-term vision plan. From this year to 2016, it will take about ten years. Bluestar Technology Group strives for Build at least 165 large-scale data centers in more than ten countries and 18 city locations around the world."

Having said this, Luo Sheng paused for a moment while looking at the ten signs on the map, his brain was running fast, and after a while he added: "165 data centers are distributed in these 18 cities, and these cities are domestic Sioux City, Phoenix, Woodland, Capital. Abroad, Northern Virginia, Seattle, Gulf of California, Northeastern Oregon, Dublin, Luxembourg, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Osaka, Singapore, Sydney, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Moscow.”

At the time of Luo Sheng's methodical presentation, all the executives present at the meeting, Xu Yongcheng, Zhang Bowen, Feng Yi, were all stunned.

Luo Sheng continued: "In addition, the average storage scale of each data center in these 165 data centers should reach 6,000PB, or 6.14 million TB of data."

After the voice fell, the conference room was quiet for a while, and Zhang Bowen finally couldn't help but said, "My God, Mr. Luo, are you sure this is not a joke?"

Luo Sheng said without hesitation: "Nonsense, do you think I'm joking? We must have at least 200 data centers worldwide by 2020."

Xu Yong was staring at his fingers, he was a data king, and his mental arithmetic ability was very strong. He immediately began to calculate and muttered to himself, and everyone in the audience listened to him muttering to himself:

"With 200 data centers, according to the scale of 6,000PB, a data center needs about 160,000 sets of servers. If all use 8TB×18 storage servers, there are about 42,700 storage servers. If each hard disk is 2,000 The cost of 10,000 yuan per server is roughly 10,000 yuan, and the hardware cost of a data center will cost 1.96 billion yuan. This is not counting the cost of the computer room and other venues, so it will be about 2 billion yuan.”

"Also, the electricity bill that comes with it is also frightening. According to this scale, the data center consumes 64,000 kWh of electricity per hour. According to the current commercial electricity consumption standard of 0.45 yuan/kWh in Sucheng, it will be charged in a year. Burning about $251 million in electricity bills."

"In order to provide cloud services, it is also necessary to pay broadband operators about 100,000 yuan/Gb/month for private line access. Based on the average export broadband of 330Gb, about 400 million yuan of network fees have to be paid every year."

"That is to say, electricity, internet, labor, and operation and maintenance costs 700 million in a year. If you don't count regions and exchange rate changes, multiply by 200, and the annual operating expenses will be ￥140 billion. Yuan budget. The cost of building another 200 data centers is roughly estimated to cost an additional 400 billion yuan...I need quick-acting pills~~”

After all, Xu Yong's expression became more and more exaggerated.

Others in the meeting couldn't help laughing, but they all smacked their lips when they heard his data. Although it was not accurate, it was almost inseparable when it came to such a large number. In front of such a huge base, there were hundreds of millions more. The difference between a few hundred million and a few hundred million can also be ignored.

No wonder the boss would say "krypton gold", no wonder he would say that IBM would be pleasantly surprised and wish to offer Bluestar Technology Group as the God of Wealth.

Luo Sheng still said calmly: "You calculated it based on ten or fifteen years. I guarantee that by that time, the annual revenue of Bluestar Technology Group has exceeded 100 billion. In US dollars, So, the investment is huge but don’t panic, we will make more and more money.”

Listening to this, everyone felt that the boss was simply the rhythm of Chi Guoguo's drawing a big cake for them.

But I don't know why, everyone thinks that although this cake can't be seen or touched, it can smell the fragrance inexplicably, making people get goosebumps all over the body, and their hearts are constantly boiling.
