Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

{Time: June 4, 2005}

{Location: Planting flowers}

It's hard to say what kind of reputation the name Ning Zimo has established in the hearts of the public in China after experiencing an overnight fortune in 2004.

But Lin Chenxi knew that over the past year or so, some people on the Internet had talked about this name in a way that meant pointing the country.

To say that he founded Skype is actually just luck;

It is said that he is essentially a person without vision, so he sold Skype to kill the goose that lay eggs;

It is said that he has a very bad nature, so he would turn to take down the well-known game company Blizzard after he got rich, because he is greedy for pleasure;

It is said that he spent a huge amount of money to buy Yahoo! in order to reverse his poor reputation on the Internet in an attempt to turn things around;

Even just two days after he spent a huge sum of 1.2 billion US dollars to invest in Ali, the Internet is full of rumors that he has joined forces with foreign companies Bing to suppress the development of domestic companies.

There are all kinds of articles, and I don’t know what the purpose of those people is, and why they would slander this person who is the first person to grow flowers on the Internet.

Simply put, even if he had never come into contact with Ning Zimo before, relying on a few so-called secrets and analysis to make an assertion about a person was not Lin Chenxi's style.

However, the young founder of Emperor Penguin, who had mixed reputations on the flower gardening network, was actually sitting in front of him. The important thing was that he turned out to be his junior disciple's disciple.

Lin Chenxi shook his head, always feeling that it was an extremely unreal feeling for a superior person to appear in front of him.

When he turned to look at Luffy again, the indifferent expression on his face convinced Lin Chenxi that this was true.

"You are really Ning Zimo... It seems you don't have two more heads and more hands and feet than the rumors say!" Lin Chenxi broke the silence.

Faced with everyone's complicated looks and Lin Chenxi's slightly funny questions, Ning Zimo remained extremely calm.

He had more or less understood the personalities of these people in his previous life. Unlike those who were easily led around by foreign rhythms, these guys were all logical people.

"We're going to get to know each other sooner or later anyway, so there's no need for me to hide it." Ning Zimo smiled and said, "Besides, when I just heard you talk about the Internet, I saw that you were quite insightful, and it always made me feel that you seemed to be related to my subordinates.

A project is a natural fit.”

Ning Zimo was rubbing his hands while talking, and the image of a young man suddenly appeared, which made him and everyone much closer in an instant.

"What project?" Lin Chenxi was very curious.

Ning Zimo smiled mysteriously and asked instead, "Do you know Dr. Wang Jian?"

"When we were interning at Juhard, he was our project team leader and internship mentor." After a pause, Lin Chenxi said, "But he told us last year that he would go to a company called acs."

Ning Zimo smiled and said, "ACS was founded in Europe before by my partner in the company where I work at Paypal. On the 10th of last month, Dr. Wang Jian was officially hired as the president of ACS Asia and was responsible for ACS cloud computing."

Asia business.

acs Flower has reached a cooperation with Taobao, and will initially cooperate with Taobao to provide a series of elastic cloud computing and cloud storage services. Based on the increasing amount of interactive data provided by Taobao, Dr. Wang Jian’s joining will continue to provide acs with the original foundation.

Continue to optimize the performance improvement of connecting ordinary PC servers into a multi-functional supercomputer..."

Compared with other projects under its umbrella, the development of acs has always been unremarkable. But the temperament of acs was determined by its leader Pan Yu, and its development process would have been like Pan Yu's character, long and long-term, with a lot of accumulation.

.

Ning Zimo naturally knows that ACS cannot be impatient. After all, although ACS is currently mediocre, it has surpassed Amazon AWS, the giant that occupied half of the world in cloud services in its previous life. 80% of the market share is already quite an amazing achievement.

With the first-mover advantage and consolidated market, coupled with Wang Jian, a paranoid and tenacious scientist, it is always exciting to see what kind of giant ACS will develop into in the future.

At the same time, how can we let these 2002 ACM champions and outstanding colleagues of Aliyun in the previous life go?

"ACS is one of the European companies I founded after I left Paypal. As a co-founder, Pan Yu occupies the main decision-making power. As for [ACS Flower Planting], it is slightly different. It is a wholly-owned industry owned by Emperor Penguin."

Ning Zimo raised the corners of his mouth, and the moment when he and Pan Yu had a dispute flashed through his mind.

That was last year. Before launching the ACS plan, he had a long conversation with Pan Yu in Germany.

"I have a background in psychology, but I was the executive vice president of Juhard Asia Research Institute, responsible for user interface, machine learning, large-scale data processing and other research and the Peking Adcenter Laboratory, where I was responsible for researching key technologies and systems related to data-driven software...

…”

Pan Yu held the information in his hand, raised his head and said to Ning Zimo in surprise, "This doctor named Wang Jian is too legendary. Such a person, with such experience and experience, is much better than us at Stanford."

, especially the research on key technologies and systems related to data-driven software, his research on cloud technology is definitely much more suitable than mine!"

"Don't belittle yourself. You are the CEO and president of acs. You have brought acs from 0 to 1, which is enough to prove that you are no worse than Dr. Wang Jian. I just think he is absolutely suitable to lead our [acs Flower Planting] master plan."

Master." Ning Zimo patted Pan Yu's arm and nodded.

Pan Yu shrugged and said with a smile, "Your ability to tap elites is getting stronger and stronger now!"

"That's right, you don't even know where I started working at Paypal. I was a master who led you Stanford masters!" Ning Zimo smiled silently.

"Ah ha..." Pan Yu laughed and rolled his eyes. Then he couldn't help laughing and said, "When you didn't come to Paypal, I knew you would definitely do it in the future."

He's an amazing person.

I didn’t expect that you would climb from senior engineer, to product manager, and then to the position of coo. And then not long after you left PayPal, you would lead us to turn the Internet upside down."

"That doesn't mean we trust each other!" Ning Zimo curled his lips, turned around and grabbed a document and a pen from behind and handed them to Pan Yu, "Come on, it seems you think Dr. Wang Jian is good too.

Then let’s sign the shareholding structure of [acs Planting Flowers] today.”

Pan Yu looked at the "acs Flower Planting Equity Structure Book" that Ning Zimo pushed in front of him. He didn't even move his eyes and just looked at Ning Zimo with a smile.

Being stared at by him felt uncomfortable, so Ning Zimo shook his head and asked, "What the hell, what are you looking at?"

"I can't just say that I'm just looking at you, can I?"

"Dirt!"

"Sunflower acupoint hand..."

"You despicable villain, you're the CEO of ACS and you're still playing this trick, please untie it for me!"

Hahahahahahahaha

After pulling each other, it felt like I was back in the shared apartment in California. The two were making trouble and laughing. People outside the office looked over and saw them fighting through the glass. Chen Shijun ran over and pushed him away.

He opened the door and asked, "What are you two doing for fun?"

"Hey, how come your Mandarin from Bay Province is infected by Mandarin from Northeastern China?"

"Okay, let's get down to business." Pan Yu stretched out his hand to stop Chen Shijun who was about to speak, turned to Ning Zimo and said, "acs has had your capital injection in the past two years, spending nearly ten million in total.

Yes, but our initial shares have never changed."

"The acs project takes a long time to develop..."

"I don't want to talk nonsense anymore. Anyway, the technology I studied before is transferred for 1 yuan. You can do it yourself [acs flower planting]." Pan Yu stretched out his middle finger and pushed up his glasses and said with a smile, "If you don't agree, just think about it yourself.

Find a way."

Ning Zimo was stunned for a moment, but found that Chen Shijun also imitated Pan Yu and pushed his eyes, "The same goes for YouTube, we have already discussed this!"

"It's up to you!"

The two said in unison and stretched out their hands at the same time, making Ning Zimo not know what to say.

The flow of thoughts only happened in a moment. Ning Zimo calmed down and gradually opened up the topic and said, "Just like we just talked about how the Internet can change and subvert it and gradually penetrate into all walks of life, acs is currently subverting the new network and Wanwang.

The business of this type of ICP operator.

In fact, acs cloud services and cloud computing may expand to various application fields in the future, and acs will deploy energy-efficient green data centers around the world and use clean computing to provide a steady stream of energy power for the new world of interconnected everything...

Backup and storage, big data, big data enterprise IT, games, websites, web, mobile and social applications, etc. Cloud computing and cloud services can be extended from these fields to serve thousands of enterprises or individuals.

But without today's preparations, without more than ten years of painstaking research and accumulation, without unknown hard work, acs cloud computing and cloud services will not reflect their value in the future..."

Ning Zimo likes to chat with people who study technology. He won't feel tired after chatting for a whole day, especially his trio of like-minded PayPal farmers, or this group of Ali Cloud colleagues who devoted themselves to research at Ali in their previous lives.

!

They had fought together in their previous lives. When 80% of the other engineers quit midway due to the environment and the future, they still fought together. It was only because of better development in the future that he had to leave to start his own business, so he left before them.

Ah Liyun.

Now that he has the opportunity to renew his relationship with them in this life, how can he let go of the opportunity to work together toward a common goal?

“Dr. Wang Jian and I have promised that Emperor Penguin will continue to invest 1 billion per year in [acs flower planting] within 10 years. Because we all know that the application fields of cloud services and cloud computing will bring great benefits to enterprises or individuals in the future.

More convenience.”

Ning Zimo paused, taking a breath while smiling, and then continued, "And our Emperor Penguin has a talent recruitment plan next, so naturally we are extremely eager for talents. Since you have worked for Wang Jian

The doctor's subordinates have implemented projects together, so why not continue this mentoring relationship with Emperor Penguin's [acs Flower Planting]."

???

Lin Chenxi, Lu Jing and Zhou Jian never expected that they would be recruited by the number one flower grower on the Internet just by participating in a party organized by their junior brother Luffy.

But after thinking about it in their hearts, they seemed to have no reason to refuse the invitation from someone as obsessed with development as Ning Zimo.

Even, there is some excitement.

But the three of you look at me and I look at you,

After all, there is something curious,

In the end, Lin Chenxi stood up.

"...That...Mr. Ning..."

"Just call me Zimo." Ning Zimo spread his hands.

"Then...Zimo," Lin Chenxi tried her best, but finally couldn't overcome the doubts in her heart, "There have been a lot of rumors about your Emperor Penguin recently, but...it seems...you don't care about those things on the Internet at all.

People’s rumors and barbarous words…”

"Ah?" Ning Zimo was stunned. He never thought that his colleague in the previous life would ask him such a question.

After a pause, he raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Reputation is just a one-sided guess and speculation when a person is alive. I always feel that there are many things on the way forward and the ultimate goal that are more important than reputation.

There are many things, so there is no need to care too much about the judgment within a certain period of time.”

Looking at the three colleagues from his previous life, Ning Zimo smiled and said, "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. That's what it means at this time."
