Technological Hegemony

Boss Ma stayed in Luo Jia's company for a long time. He chatted with Luo Jia for two full hours, visited the legendary Star Research Institute, and saw many projects under development.

Mr. Ren said with emotion, "When the Baoshan base was established, the experimental equipment at Luo Jia was not as good as our 2012 laboratory and the Academia Sinica, but now they have surpassed it."

Boss Ma nodded lightly. It seems that Luo Jia is not actually rich and powerful in the legend, it should be true.

After all, he provided the members of the Tough Guys with the highest salary in the country, and his investment in scientific research was absolutely astronomical.

Star Technology has a unique rule, interest group system.

For example, there are three technical geeks who like old animations from the 1980s or even earlier, but the quality of those old animations is very worrying due to their age.

Therefore, the three of them set up an interest group, claiming to study a rendering engine to make up for the lack of color and picture detail in early animation works.

For this, Luo Jia even approved some money for them, and even bought a special rendering server, which is currently the most efficient rendering server in the world.

Therefore, these three technical nerds began to study the rendering engine in their spare time.

If it were another boss, he would never approve such a weird research project.

After all, Star Technology is not an animation company, and the rendering will not bring any benefits to the company.

Based on the principle of the supremacy of interests, employees should work more than cows, get up earlier than chickens, and sleep later than dogs, so as to create more value for the company.

However, Star Technology is completely different. Not only do they have an interest group system, they even have free working hours.

A certain animation exhibition is about to start, and a group of employees want to go to play for two days. The administration department will organize a temporary trip according to the requirements of the employees. Those who want to sign up to participate will be paid by the company.

Boss Ma also visited the gymnasium of Xingchen Technology, which is currently the largest among all technology companies in China, with four floors up and down.

There are 120 treadmills alone, a full set of top Hummer machines, and the best free strength equipment, two standard swimming pools, plus luxurious bathrooms and a full set of heating equipment, even in cold weather, the swimming pool will still be very comfortable .

The canteen with super first-class specifications is open 24 hours and is completely free to all employees.

Many chefs are specially hired from five-star hotels, and there is also a professional team of nutritionists who are responsible for providing healthy and nutritious meals to meet the needs of fitness people.

 …

On the return trip, Boss Ma and Mr. Ren sat in the same car.

Boss Ma said thoughtfully, "Xingchen Technology is stronger than I imagined. Luo Jia's personal charm, coupled with the company's unique cultural atmosphere, made them especially capable of fighting. But at the same time, I also discovered that they weakness."

"Just like you said, they are too upright. All kinds of stupid tables, chairs and benches have no aesthetic feeling at all. Because they are too lazy to go to the cafeteria to eat, they use drones to deliver ice cream and lunch boxes from the cafeteria."

"This is a group of linear-thinking warriors. Adjectives like sleek probably never existed in Xingchen Technology, and they don't understand it at all."

"So when there was a war with Google, when Google used you to coerce Luo Jia, Luo Jia and his group of tough guys chose to fight hard to expand the war again! If Google refuses to accept it, then beat them to the server until!"

"This is not the thinking of a group of soldiers, so what could it be?"

"I understand it now. On the surface, Xingchen Technology looks like a technology company, but in fact, it's a combat company at all! Luo Jia, the lunatic leader, brought a group of lunatic fighters to fight everywhere."

Mr. Ren laughed, "Yeah, Luo Jia and his group of tough guys are just such a group of people who are always moving forward and never backing down. They want to help us out by expanding the war. Mr. Lei and the others are very grateful.

"

Boss Ma turned his head and looked out the window, "Understood, from now on, we will not intervene in the war between Xingchen Technology and Baidu."

"Luo Jia is right. No one can stop the torrent of history. Survival of the fittest is the essence of market competition."

"Also, I absolutely don't want to be an enemy of Xingchen Technology, that would be too scary."

 …

In China, everyone knows the name of BAT.

Although in recent years, Xinmei Group, especially ByteDance Group, which owns Toutiao and Douyin, the two golden applications, has brought a lot of challenges to Baidu, a former Internet hegemony.

However, their real crisis actually started from the day when Xingchen Technology started to make efforts.

After Boss Ma returned from Xingchen Technology, he made it clear at the high-level meeting that Ali would not take sides in this war, and even faintly revealed his preference for Xingchen Technology from his words.

Under the leadership of Ali, domestic Internet companies have chosen to deal with it coldly. They do not support any party and do not publicly express their views.

Therefore, within a short period of time, the war between the star search and the white search has entered a fierce stage.

Since domestic enterprises have chosen not to help each other, they are all fighting alone with their own strength.

On the Huaxia battlefield, none of them have allies. They can only fight with hard power, technology and publicity!

Public opinion is obviously on the side of Xingchen Search.

However, Baidu Group has a solid capital base, and they are frantically placing advertisements on major platforms to strengthen their publicity offensive.

At the same time, Boss Li finally made up his mind to make a comprehensive rectification of its ranking bidding business. Putian Medical was completely removed from the search content and provided cleaner and more accurate search content.

However, it was too late.

Netizens who have used Xingchen search can never go back.

Because Star Search was not born to benchmark whiteness from the very beginning. Their benchmark is the only overlord in the global search engine industry, Google.

Luo Jia used the algorithm and engine prepared to defeat Google to attack Baidu search.

This is called unequal war.

On a technical level, only Google's troika search technology can compete with Xingchen Search in this world, and all other search engines are not rivals.

In just a few days, the war in China has reached its final stage.

361 search, Sogou search, etc., these search engines, which are already at the bottom of the market, have announced their withdrawal from the competition.

After all, the opponents are too cruel, this is not a game they can play, and if they continue to play, they will only lose more.

March tenth.

A week after Star Search was officially launched, Luo Jia won a milestone market share in the Chinese market.

The market share has reached 80%!

So far, the competition for the dominance of search engines in the Chinese market has ended with Star Search's complete victory.

The war between Star Technology and Google had just begun, and Baidu was the first to die.

On the same day, Star Search officially became independent.

Became the fifth subsidiary of Star Technology, after Star Optical, Star Electric, Star Display, and Star Chemical.

In fact, Luo Jia also has a star intelligence, which specializes in making robotic arms.

However, because the factory has mastered the key core technology, all products are only supplied to the company, and it cannot be regarded as an independent operation.

Netizens celebrated one after another, and Xingchen search was a great success.

But Luo Jia knew very well that the real challenge had just begun.

Their rival, Google, is not the overlord of Chinese search, they are the overlord of the whole world!

The most serious challenge is how to make Star Search realize profitability as soon as possible, because it is really too expensive to attack in the field of search engines.

Google has six super data centers in North America, three in Asia, three in Europe, and one in South America.

The number of other large data centers and small data centers is even higher.

Google has never disclosed the number of its own servers.

But in 2012, Larry Page accidentally slipped his mouth, and the whole world was surprised to find that the number of Google servers had reached a sensational two million! Is the world's largest server owner!

You know, that was 2012, and no one has accurate data on how many servers Google currently has running.

Now, Star Technology has completely stopped expanding, and even the important next-generation battery project of the hardware department has been forced to postpone because the software department has to fight a tough battle.

Luo Jia sent all the funds to the software army.

There are 37,000 large servers purchased and leased around the world, and the number is still increasing rapidly.
