Global Monopoly of Technology

Chapter 473 [Super Large Order]

Samuel, the head of IBM on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, was also watching the conference of Lens Semiconductor in the middle of the night, and he was inexplicably angry when he learned the news.

Because IBM is also working on corresponding solutions after learning about Bluestar Technology's "Kunpeng Plan". Once Bluestar Technology succeeds, IBM will be able to provide the servers needed for the submarine data center, thus earning a lot of US dollar bills .

It's a huge list with the potential to be worth billions of dollars, and who doesn't get jealous.

Never would have thought that Luo Sheng would actually give orders to Wah as a server with poorer technology and more expensive costs, and it was obvious that he wanted to get rid of the plans of North American supply chain partners.

At the same time, the scene of the Lens Semiconductor conference.

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

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause from the scene. Luo Sheng also stood up from his seat, turned his head to greet the audience, and then walked onto the stage of the press conference calmly and shook hands with Lao Xu. After each hand, he also took over the press conference from the other hand.

On the stage, Xu Zhijun came to one side, while Luo Sheng stood in the middle of the stage.

"I'm very happy that Lens Semiconductor is the closest and most important link between Cote d'Azur and Wah, and the relationship and communication between the directors are also closer." Luo Sheng's voice resounded throughout the audience, and he instantly held it as soon as he took the stage. The audience.

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

And more than half of Lens Semiconductor's board of directors is controlled by Wah, so the two sides have reached a balance point.

"I have seen some news media hype recently, and the merger of Azure Coast, Bluestar Technology, and Hua is a possibility, and such a topic seems to be very marketable, but Azure Coast has no communication genes. Bluestar Technology is an Internet company, even if it does not merge now Come together, don't you?"

Luo Sheng spoke in a leisurely manner, but when he said the word "merger", the people in the IT industry were still startled. Thinking about it was scary. Several companies themselves were The Big Mac has become a giant. If it moves towards a merger, it will be the rhythm of a super technology giant.

After a while, Luo Sheng, who was pacing back and forth on the stage, continued: "This reminds me of what Google CEO Dr. Eric Schmidt once said at the first developer conference on the Côte d'Azur. It still makes sense right now.

Every company should try its best to do what it is best at. The communication business is Huawei's strength, but not the strength of the Côte d'Azur. "

"From the Côte d'Azur's point of view, what we do is try to cooperate with other companies, especially Hua Wei, the company's culture is very similar, and we cooperate with many data services at the same time, Lao Xu shows what he can do, but The thing to know is that a person or a business doesn’t understand how difficult it is to put this together without having done it in person.”

"But today we are talking about Bluestar Technology. The 'Kunpeng Project' allows us to focus on the underwater. The project has made exciting breakthroughs since its inception. We think it has the possibility of commercial use, so this time We have signed contracts with 'Kunpeng Server' for 4 large-scale submarine data centers, with a server order contract of 11.7 billion yuan, and 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, and at the same time 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 marks.

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

As soon as these words came out, the audience at the scene felt a stomachache, especially the international friends and businessmen wanted to spit fragrance.

Is this human?

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

Can you do whatever you want with money?

But then again, those friends and businessmen who are crossing the river with the "Kunpeng Plan" who are studying the submarine data center are really anxious because they are too far behind.

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

Luo Sheng didn't know the thoughts of his international friends, and he wouldn't care too much if he knew it. He just clicked the small remote control, and the big screen behind him turned into a world map.

12 markers appeared near the coast of China, 2 markers appeared in Southeast Asia, 2 markers appeared in the Sea of ​​Japan, 1 marker appeared on the southeastern coast of Japan, 1 marker appeared in the Arabian Gulf, and 1 marker appeared in the Persian Gulf. , 4 markers appeared on the northern perimeter of the Mediterranean Sea, 1 marker appeared on the French coastline, 1 marker appeared on the German coastline, and 1 marker appeared on the southeastern British coastline.

Then there were 8 markers on the west coast of North America, 9 markers on the east coast, 3 markers in the Caribbean, 2 markers in South America, and 1 marker in Australia.

Mainly concentrated in the north temperate zone, basically covering the main densely populated areas in the world.

...

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

Spending $30 billion to build 49 undersea data centers, if IBM undertakes the server order, it means a super large order close to $15 billion.

But it is more panic and anxiety. This is not just a simple loss of a big order, but an opportunity to bear the rise of a competitor.

"No, no, we must stop the expansion of Huawei." Samuel muttered to himself.

...

At the same time, Luo Sheng said at the press conference: "We are very confident that we will achieve a world-leading submarine data center in 2015, that is to say, it will be put into use from 2015, and 49 ultra-large submarine data centers are located in these areas. , if it goes well, we will achieve this exciting goal in 2020, so this cooperation is only the opening game, and we are looking forward to the future, thank you."

After speaking, Luo Sheng walked off the stage with a burst of warm applause, and Lao Xu appeared again 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 Hua Wei and Lens Semiconductor, and Luo Sheng represented Bluestar Technology to officially complete the signing ceremony of orders for four subsea data centers worth RMB 11.7 billion.

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

This is undoubtedly another piece of exciting news for the Chinese people in the field of science and technology. The submarine data center, which is a cutting-edge technology field proposed, led, innovated and led 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 they are obviously lagging behind.

Although Luo Sheng said that it was a trial operation, this was also an expression of modesty. With such a large investment, the trial operation is also a trial operation, and it is also profitable to recover the cost.

Colleagues are well aware that the pioneers in this field are actually a long way ahead of them, and they are also soberly aware that the advantages of lower operating costs brought by submarine data centers will soon apply to cloud computing services.

Bluestar Technology's Star-Cloud will provide better solutions and lower costs, which 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.
