Global Monopoly of Technology

Through the communication with Cheng Jianhua, Luo Sheng roughly judged that the country has an idea and wants to bring this thing up.

Cheng Jianhua came to find himself, obviously hoping that he could play a leading role as an industry leader.

The determination of the country alone is not enough, the entire industry also needs to have enough determination.

Because the replacement of Internet protocols involves the entire industry chain, and there must be mutual wait-and-see between the entire industry chain, if this happens, it will inevitably slow down the pace of development.

A country is a country in the end, and before things are done, all aspects of the plan have been taken into account.

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

Cheng Jianhua and his colleagues were refreshed when they saw Luo Sheng's statement, and immediately said: "Mr. Luo, the plan requires the 'Snowman Project' experimental project to build 25 root servers, and domestically allocate 1 main root and 3 auxiliary roots, We want Côte d'Azur to be able to take on one of the secondary root servers."

It is worth mentioning that the operation of the root server is a voluntary operation unit.

Luo Sheng nodded: "This is not a big problem, but as an enterprise-led experimental project, it can't be said that there are 4 root servers in China. If IPv6 really makes this experiment a success, it can't just be decided by our country. , we have to win the support of more countries in the world. I don’t think the technical problem is too difficult. As a root server, the first thing is to ensure its security. Services."

Cheng Jianhua agreed and said: "Yes, in this regard, any unit responsible for the root server must have such a responsibility."

Luo Sheng added: "The key is to synchronize data between the current 13 root servers, the establishment of IPv6 root servers in the future, between more than 20 IPv6 root servers and between IPv4 root servers and 13 root servers. It is also necessary to synchronize the data, otherwise it will not work if you parse it differently from others, and there is also the issue of how to ensure data security.”

"Before, I was worried that the root servers are all abroad, and foreign countries can collect this data. In fact, when we implement IPv6, people will have the same concerns as us. If you parse the data, how can they ensure the security and privacy of their data and solve the problem of trust? The problem is that it must be considered to win more national support internationally, but technical problems are not such a big deal or too difficult.”

Cheng Jianhua and his colleagues looked at each other for a moment. Luo Sheng's words greatly boosted their confidence. After all, it is high-tech. It's no big deal to hear that there are technical problems.

It can be said to be inspiring.

Undoubtedly, in the following talks, the Cote d'Azur Lab logically took over the main role of the "Snowman Project" project and became the core development center under its jurisdiction, and also 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 Cote d'Azur, it is really a small amount of money.

But one size fits all.

...

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

Microsoft headquarters.

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

Microsoft President Ballmer said dissatisfiedly: "Don, your department dragged down the company's overall performance level in the first quarter. Your department lost $2.9 billion this quarter, but it didn't curb the expansion... End this damn Let’s fight the subsidy war, the company can’t stand it anymore.”

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

The total market value of the Bluestar Technology Group next door has reached an unprecedented 1.53 trillion US dollars, which is equivalent to the sum of the market value of 7 Microsofts. This is the rhythm of rushing out of the earth.

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

In the case of the fiery subsidy war between the two sides, the global sales of mainframes have reached 24.8 million units. From the perspective of losses, the Côte d'Azur is even worse.

Microsoft's interactive entertainment division lost $2.9 billion this quarter, and the entire console alliance lost $4.2 billion in order to fight the rise. Not only Microsoft can't stand it, but allies like Sony can't stand it.

The Côte d'Azur lost 5.5 billion US dollars during this period, and the competitors have run out of bullets, but Yao Jianhong is currently fighting and is on the rise.

The company's cash flow of tens of billions of dollars is lying, and last month, it issued the latest round of 3A-level corporate bonds on a large scale.

Ability to burn money?

For now, no group company on earth dares to say that it can definitely beat Luo Sheng.

Facts have proved that money can really do that...

However, those third-party game developers are making crazy money this quarter, revenue has soared, and the company's stock has skyrocketed.

He has been sucked blood by the first party all the time. This time, the first party fights each other and bleeds blood from each other, and it all flows into the third party's pocket. It's really cool.

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

After returning to his office, he held a conference call with Sony and other allies, and finally reached an agreement to end this damn money-burning war. The landlord's family has no surplus.

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

On the second day, I took the earliest direct flight to China.

...

Cote d'Azur company headquarters in the City of Galaxies, reception room.

Don Mattrick, Sony, Nintendo and other executives, a total of six or seven foreigners were in this reception room. It was not Luo Sheng who met them, but Yao Jianhong, the company's number two person.

As for Luo Sheng, now he is busy with the scientific research team to climb technology, and has no time.

Lao Yao knew that the moment a competitor took the initiative to contact the door, it meant that they had already admitted defeat, and they would not be able to accept it. The small money in their pockets 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 will end?"

Lao Tang felt too humiliated, but there was no way, Ballmer would not be transfusions to his department, and his teammates were running out of ammunition and food, so he could only come over to sign a new contract for the "deprivation of rights and humiliation".

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

After speaking, Lao Yao looked at the Sony Global Vice President who was here, but the other party said nothing.

It's really easy to use. After obtaining the technical solution provided by Cote d'Azur, Sony's PS3's overall performance has miraculously improved by about 27%.

After a while, Yao Jianhong added: "The conditions for the Côte d'Azur are very simple. You can cancel the platform monopoly of your best-selling masterpieces such as the "Halo" series and "Final Fantasy" series, and that's it."

Don Mattrick refused: "No no, Mr. Yao, it's so unfair, unless the platform-exclusive best-selling game is also open to our console platform."

As people in the industry, they are very clear that Cote d'Azur's intention is to create a closed content ecology, because the volume is large enough. Once this clause is agreed, masterpieces such as Ubisoft's "Assassin's Creed" will no longer be able to log in other than the other. host platform.

What really scares them is that the third-party game developers that Luo Sheng has acquired 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, the content ecological advantages will become stronger and stronger, and finally form the Matthew effect, and the strong will become stronger.

Other first parties will linger in the shadows and become a tool for the other party to evade antitrust.

Like Intel is to AMD.

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

At this moment, Yao Jianhong saw that Don Mattrick did not agree, and said decisively: "OK, since that's the case, there is no need to talk about it, let's continue to fight."
