Global Monopoly of Technology

The latest website: Intel does not feel any crisis for this "resurgent" challenger, but Intel is not indifferent to this, everyone is blatantly going to invade your territory, peeping at the hinterland of Intel's chip kingdom, of course I can't stand it anymore.

So, just the day after the news was announced, in response to this matter, a vice president of engineering at Intel made an unceremonious post on the international version of MicroBlog, saying:

"A bought turkey can't be turned into a phoenix."

This sentence did not name a name, but an Intel executive made such a sentence at this time.

Obviously, this is not difficult to interpret.

The technology media also quickly reported the matter. As for the Cote d'Azur, there was no response to Intel's ridicule, and Luo Sheng was busy climbing technology, so how could he have time to argue with Intel's people online? .

In the following days, Luo Sheng began to gradually withdraw from the company's daily operation and management, and quickly completed the merger and reorganization of Sony's Cell business. In the future, it may be difficult for the high-tech industry to acquire foreign companies. .

Because the general environment is quietly reversing, Luo Sheng is taking three steps one step at a time. After the financial crisis, the next ten years will be a decade in which China officially enters a full-scale "superior to the United States and catches up with the United States".

At the same time, the attention of Americans is constantly shifting from the Middle East to the Asia-Pacific region. To be precise, the degree of focus on China is better than one year.

As the so-called gun hits the bird.

The two technology giant groups created by Luo Sheng can now be said to be the postcards of Huaguo Technology Company, which are harvesting profits and expanding continuously around the world.

There is no need to think or have illusions. Once Americans find that they can’t afford to play, they will definitely play hooligans. The first two companies will definitely be used, and the suppression will definitely come as scheduled.

Of course, Luo Sheng will not choose to sit still. There will definitely be many problems in the overseas market in the future, but there is an old saying that there is no way out.

After the financial crisis, the consumption power of the Greater China market began to explode. This is a supermarket with a population of 1.3 billion. Its explosive power is shocking and exciting to the world.

Right now, at the end of 2008, the number of Internet users in Huaguo officially exceeded 300 million, and the growth rate is soaring at a double-digit scale. In another year or so,

New Internet users will add a terrifying order of magnitude of one hundred million, and the Internet is on the fast track to rapid prosperity in this country.

There is no doubt that Luo Sheng's next strategic layout must gradually shift its focus from overseas to the mainland. If it is said that the overseas market previously occupied 80% of the focus, then Luo Sheng hopes to achieve a balance between the mainland market and the overseas market. Each accounts for about 50%, and the mainland may be heavier.

The fundamental purpose of the shift in the strategic focus is to improve its anti-strike capability.

We do not expect the worst to happen, but we must prepare for the worst. Assuming that business in overseas markets suffers a severe setback, we can take advantage of the huge scale of the mainland market to withstand the situation.

The core issue is the "spare tire plan", not only to break through the comprehensive technical blockade of foreigners in the future, but also to overtake and occupy the commanding heights of technology in core technology.

As soon as the trip to Japan was over, Luo Sheng started to be the boss after he returned to China, and took full responsibility for Climbing Technology. The daily operations of the Azure Coast were handed over to Yao Jianhong, and Bluestar Technology was handed over to Zhang Bowen.

Now with the assistance of the artificial intelligence Xiaona, Luo Sheng can keep up to date with the latest situation of the two companies anytime and anywhere without going to the company very often.

Xiaona regularly reports to him on the situation of the two companies every week.

...

Today is an odd-numbered day of the week, Luo Sheng is at Qin Weimu's private mansion, and on an even-numbered day is at Irene's side. This situation has been going on for more than two months. It seems that the two women have reached a tacit consensus.

Since that time they met in the science and technology complex building, they basically didn't meet. At that time, the two women didn't pierce the last layer of paper, but it made no difference whether they pierced it or not.

Luo Sheng tried to accomplish the feat of "unification", but found it too difficult, so he gave up the idea temporarily.

The meal should be eaten one bite at a time.

Their mutual repulsion seems to be two parallel lines that cannot intersect. It is like the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics in the physics world. Those who try to unify the two cornerstones of modern physics are in the end.

But it's actually pretty good to keep it that way.

At night, Luo Sheng, who came out of the bathroom, came to the bedroom: "Baby, I'll give you a new task at work. It's very important."

Qin Weimu: "Speak."

Luo Sheng came to the side of the bed and sat down beside her, stroking her slender and beautiful legs that were as white as jade and sliding back and forth, and said thoughtfully, "You take your hands and set up a venture capital fund, this is a strategic investment fund. , only invests in the Growth Enterprise Market of the emerging technology industry. The early stage is mainly in semiconductor-related fields. It does not enter the Cote d'Azur, nor does it enter Bluestar Technology. The source of funds for this investment fund is obtained from our family fund."

It is not advisable to fight alone, the efficiency is too slow, and the technological blockade from foreign countries may come faster than expected. Being a strategic investor and supporting the entire industry chain is the best way out. Focus on the key points yourself, and then Lead a group of younger brothers to fly together, and play the role of "Wulin Alliance Leader" in this arena.

Qin Weimu asked, "How much is the initial capital injection?"

Luo Sheng thought for a while and said, "Let's start with about 20 billion, and we will definitely add more later."

Qin Weimu wrote down this in his heart, and then turned his head to glance at Luo Sheng: "There is nothing else, I will talk about it tomorrow, the palace is tired, let's go to bed."

Luo Sheng was stunned for a while, and then said solemnly: "Yes!"

...

The next day, Qin Weimu started to set up this strategic venture capital fund. She was in charge of the family fund. This kind of work was also handy for her.

During this period, Luo Sheng left Sioux City with a group of Bluestar Technology Group's cloud computing team technicians. This time he has to travel far, but not abroad, but overseas.

He took a technical team and took his own huge private luxury yacht to the coast of the East China Sea, about 12 nautical miles from the coast of the Yangtze River Delta.

"Boss, what are you doing here with us?" An engineer accompanying him couldn't help but asked curiously. Most of the R\u0026D personnel and engineers in the company use this title, and few people call him President Luo. of.

Luo Sheng looked at the endless coastline. At this time, some staff were busy, and several sailors and technicians were debugging the submersible device.

"Of course I'm not here for tourism. I'm going to sink the future super data center into the sea."

As soon as these words came out, the several engineers accompanying them couldn't help but be shocked.

Putting data centers under the sea?

Isn't this brain a bit too big?

Luo Sheng said with a smile: "To build a super-large data center on the seabed, you should watch the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" several times, because engineers will have to be like sailors, always defending against mermaid attacks."

Of course, this was a joke, and everyone heard the meaning.

As you can imagine, deploying data centers on the ocean floor presents a variety of challenges.

A researcher next to Luo Sheng murmured: "...the foundation has to be built, broadband has to be provided, power and water have a destructive mix, maintaining a data center under the sea is an absolute nightmare for engineers. ."

Luo Sheng nodded and said: "Yes, when the company entered the field of cloud computing in a big way, I was already thinking, the data center should preferably be not too far from where the population lives, and it does not need to occupy land resources, thinking about going to the bottom of the sea. It's a good choice. There are many difficulties, don't think about it, what we do is unprecedented, and the Americans have never done it, we can only explore by ourselves, but it is worth our time to invest in researching new solutions Come."

There is no doubt that sinking a data center to the bottom of the ocean requires overcoming technical difficulties, but there are many reasons or benefits to be worth it.

First, the available "land", a large number of coastal seabeds have not been used, and these lands are free, while the land on land is limited, and the land in big cities is even more expensive.

Second, tidal energy, which can use the movement of the ocean to generate carbon-neutral electricity, is a natural resource that is also free.

Third, cooling, "hot aisle" is a huge cost for each data center, which has been proved by the dozen or so large data centers that Bluestar Technology Group is building or has completed. There are air-cooled zones, but this is only for mild climates, in more extreme places, coolers will be required. Seawater is cold, and if it can be pumped to the right place to remove the heat, it can provide adequate cooling.

Fourth, bandwidth, the backbone of the Internet and each global cloud is located on the sea floor, and those pipes that link to the sea can reduce the delay caused by data packets.

Fifth, population distribution, the vast majority of the world's population generally live near the coast, most cities are around the coast, and China has a long coastline, the data center needs to be as close to the population as possible, and choose to sink into the coast. The benefits of the seabed are self-evident.

The last point is that it can be quickly redeployed, and the data center is dedicated to computers and storage payloads. When replacing payloads, demolition and rebuilding are usually cheaper because there is not much expensive land cost outlay, and if the subsea system solution is done, Bluestar Technology Group will undoubtedly change the computing and storage faster. world.

The layout of the group company in the field of cloud computing has been planned for the next ten years. The large-scale data center built now is just the beginning. In the future, more than 200 data centers will be built around the world.

The high cost here is extremely exaggerated.

In addition to subsea data centers, there are other solutions, all of which are options based on local conditions. For example, in the subsequent construction of data centers, the European side can make full use of the free air-conditioning provided by the Arctic Circle, instead of requiring expensive electricity bills in exchange for air-conditioning Air-conditioned.

Bluestar Technology's follow-up data center construction is also catching up with the schedule. For example, the 17th data center will be built in Finland next year, and the 18th data center is still in Europe. The exact location is the big one near the Arctic Circle. City.

It's all about reducing construction costs, making it easier for these infrastructures to be powered by local renewable natural energy, and even improving performance.

However, the key solution is the submarine data center. The population on the earth is also concentrated in the coastal areas. The necessity of the submarine data center is self-evident.

Once the technical difficulties are overcome, the data center can be deployed in any coastal area around the world, with almost no customization, and it is OK to throw it away. Of course, this is only a simple and crude description. Quite a number of innovative technologies provide support, including marine technology, materials and more.

Luo Sheng is also able to fight hard enough. Now not only has he freed himself from the daily tedious operation and management of the two companies to lead technology development, but also has fought from the land to the seabed for the new generation of computing and storage.
