Global Monopoly of Technology

The biggest purpose of attending this forum is that Luo Sheng hopes to popularize the concept of cloud computing through his current influence in the industry. As for other exchanges, it is basically just talking nonsense, and it is almost enough to come here.

At present, there are really not many players who can afford cloud computing services in China, and there are only four if you count them, unless the national team enters the field, but this is mostly unlikely.

Judging from the situation at the symposium, in the early stage of development and development of cloud computing services, apart from Bluestar Technology Group, which was the first to eat crabs, I am afraid that only Ahri has the highest probability of following up.

This doesn't seem to have changed much from Luo Sheng's previous life.

...

Just as Luo Sheng left for the company that night, in the Western Hemisphere during the day, some people in Silicon Valley were also paying attention to this IT Leaders Forum Exchange Conference in Pengcheng.

And the people who follow are also very big coffee, because Luo Sheng's participation has aroused the curiosity of many people in Silicon Valley, and his influence in Silicon Valley is not to be underestimated today.

Google headquarters.

Generally speaking, when referring to a famous company, the first impression is often the founder of the company, just like Steve Jobs to Apple, Luo Sheng to Bluestar Technology, Ma Zong to Ali and so on.

But when Google is mentioned, people's first impression is not Larry Page or Sergey Brin, the two co-founders.

It's the name Eric Schmidt.

Eric Schmidt, now 51, is the current head of Google and has a legendary life experience. He holds a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Princeton University and a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of California, Berkeley.

Before joining Google to take charge of this star company in the IT industry, he also worked at Bell Labs, which gave birth to 11 Nobel Prizes in Physics. Using Java as a market weapon, he helped Sun Microsystems develop at a high speed. The system company Novell was rescued from the brink of life and death and turned a profit.

Larry Page took a lot of effort to get this big guy into Google. After joining the young Google, he quickly expanded this Silicon Valley technology company with only 200 employees to 200 employees in just two years. The scale of more than 1,000 people has not lost the concept of Google in the process of expansion, and has always maintained a high-quality product level.

In Luo Sheng's last life, the Android system was also born when Eric Schmidt was in charge of Google.

Eric Schmidt had a great relationship with cloud computing services. In Luo Sheng's last life, the concept of [Cloud Computing] was actually the first thing he mentioned. from.

Only in this era, in this world.

Luo Sheng snatched his way, leaving others with nowhere to go.

Despite this, it made Eric Schmidt pay more attention to cloud computing. Luo Sheng's speech and a symposium at the Pengcheng IT Industry Summit Forum yesterday, the then-head of Google was the number one Time has paid attention.

In fact, when Bluestar Technology Group announced that it would spend $5.6 billion to build 12 large-scale data centers, Eric Schmidt had already begun to pay attention.

At this time, Google's internal core layer was holding a meeting. Eric Schmidt, Larry Page, and Sergey Brin were all there. They discussed the company's recent performance issues, as well as discussions from Blue Star. The pressure of technology.

But the real heart of today's conference is the discussion of cloud computing.

"Strictly speaking, Amazon was the first to launch related services, and Jeff launched the elastic computing cloud service in March." Sergey Brin said.

"Compared with the huge investment of 5.6 billion US dollars of Bluestar Technology Group, Amazon's scale is too small, so small... In short, it is too small." Larry Page also spoke.

The core managers at the meeting have already watched Luo Sheng's speech and his views on cloud computing at the symposium. Although they basically do not understand it, professional translators have processed the video.

At this time, the elder Eric Schmidt said seriously: "Luo Sheng, who is in charge of the Blue Star Group, is a person who should not be underestimated. Of course, it is impossible for Silicon Valley to underestimate this technology giant from the other side of the ocean today. , but I didn't expect him to know so much about cloud computing, and to invest so much money in this field."

The surprise and appreciation can be heard from the words of the then-head of Google. Luo Sheng first proposed the concept of cloud computing, which is called cloud computing in China and [Cloud Computing] in Silicon Valley. The widespread dissemination of cloud computing, and now everyone will refer to the word [Cloud Computing] when referring to this field, and a very well-established term is naturally a convention.

"What do you think of cloud computing? Eric." Larry Page asked, looking at him.

At Google, I'm afraid no one has a more voice in the field of cloud computing than Eric Schmidt, who thought for a while before making a statement.

"I agree with Luo Sheng's cloud computing concept. From the cloud computing he described, it is a new computing method formed by the combination and innovation of a variety of existing computer technologies and methods. It is very vivid. Demonstrates the goal of moving from client computers to cloud computing, or from autonomic computing to on-demand elastic computing."

Looking at the crowd, Schmidt continued: "The cloud separates applications and information resources from the underlying infrastructure and mechanisms used to carry them, and the cloud also enhances writing, agility, scalability, and availability. Through optimized, The ability to reduce the cost of ownership in the overall IT world with more efficient computing resources has the potential to be a revolutionary shift for the entire IT world and the Internet."

Paige leaned on the boss chair and held his mouth in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "According to this logic, more specifically, cloud, which describes the so-called 'resource pool' composed of computing, network, information and storage by Luo Sheng services, applications, information and infrastructure?”

Schmidt nodded affirmatively: "Yes, these components can be services, applications or infrastructure, etc., it can be quickly planned, prepared, deployed and recycled, and can be quickly scaled up or down, providing on-demand, similar utility The distribution and consumption patterns of computing.”

Sergey Brin then also spoke: "So, Bluestar Technology Group may also invest more money to build more super-large data centers? Far more than 12?"

Schmidt nodded again: "Yes, far more than that. Internet users are continuing to skyrocket, and data will skyrocket accordingly."

One of the vice presidents who attended the meeting said: "So is Google going to enter this field?"

Another participant went on to speak: "The concept of cloud computing has already come out in the era of Sun, and it is still like this after so many years. If it is still like this in another ten or two years, I am afraid that investing in it will be completely lost. Star Group is really crazy, if it wasn't for the first quarterly report to turn the tide, I'm afraid even Yahoo is now inferior."

Eric Schmidt couldn't help but look at the executive who spoke: "Is Yahoo so irresistible in your eyes? Although it has declined, it is now a technology company with a market value of 50 billion, and it still has one of the giants. posture."

The speaker shrugged.

At this time, Larry Page said: "I very much agree with Luo Sheng's statement that the cost of trial and error is far less than the cost of making mistakes. To enter, Google must enter in the field of cloud computing."

Most of Google's executives at the meeting couldn't help but nod their heads. These words were more deeply felt by Google. Yahoo made a big mistake by rejecting Google, and now it is facing a severe existential crisis. If Yahoo had accepted Google, it might be today. As a technology giant on an equal footing with Microsoft, even if Google does not succeed, the trial and error costs paid are not worth mentioning compared to what Yahoo has lost now.

It hurts to even look at it.

Page's words undoubtedly set a tone. Google must have entered the field of cloud computing. Now, Amazon is doing it in this field, but the scale is relatively small. The size of Amazon is there, and Jeff Bezos is now even. If you want to attack all in, that's it.

The second player is Bluestar Technology Group, which is Luo Sheng.

Although it is one step slower than Amazon, it is actually about a month later, which can really be ignored, but what cannot be ignored is the scale of Bluestar Technology's investment.

The scale of the investment is horrendous, almost 15 times larger than Amazon's launch of its elastic computing cloud service in March.

Page continued: "I don't know where Mr. Luo Sheng's self-confidence is, but Google obviously can't be so rash, the risk is too great."

There's no way, plus Google's performance this year was not as good as expected, and the stock price plummeted.

When Luo Sheng announced that he would enter the field of cloud computing in a big way, the market value of Bluestar Technology Group continued to plunge.

The rise of Bluestar Technology has taken away a lot of Google's advertisers.

At this time, if he were to play like Luo Sheng, perhaps Google's market value would fall below the 100 billion mark, or even be overtaken by Bluestar Technology. You must know that Bluestar Technology's current market value is second only to Google among technology companies. Now, the difference between the two is nearly 30 billion US dollars, which is not a small gap, but it cannot hold the momentum of Bluestar Technology.

The key is that Google has its last financing this year. When it was IPO, it was split three times at a time. Luo Sheng just learned Google's operation, so now Google does not dare to gamble on cloud computing services like Luo Sheng.

"Then start at $500 million to make sure Google doesn't miss out on cloud computing, if it does explode," Schmidt said.

Everyone nodded, this is the best strategy for Google, first take a pit to see the situation, Luo Sheng is the first to eat crabs, and Bluestar Technology crosses the river by feeling the stones, then Google is best to temporarily touch Bluestar Cross the river with technology, follow Luo Sheng's ass to see the situation.

Anyway, someone is looking for the way ahead, why not?

If the situation in the river is generally clear, there is no need to worry. If there is a lot of potential, then follow up and invest heavily. If Luo Sheng is hit hard in the front, quickly retreat.

This decision quickly passed the resolution of Google's core layer.
