Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

/*For the convenience of understanding, although Microsoft's Windows Azure plan was named Red Dog when it was first proposed, I still use the later name "Windows Azure" to call it*/

When Ling Shengnan raised his head again, three days had passed quickly.

This day finally came to September 28. It had been 10 days since they arrived in the United States.

The network attack on Facebook that she is responsible for has lasted for 10 days. But "no matter what", the Facebook website is still standing and has never had any problems.

Ling Shengnan looked at the results on the screen expressionlessly, but he didn't want a cup to suddenly come in from outside his sight.

"Work is work, but it doesn't have to be too hard."

Rothschild appeared in Ling Shengnan's field of vision, with a conciliatory smile on his face.

Seeing Ling Shengnan taking the cup expressionlessly, Rothschild's smile broadened a little more.

"After so many years, my understanding of Ning Zimo has become more and more clear. Especially his intricate and interconnected layout of industrial distribution, which now also shows extremely professional design logic."

Rothschild knew that Ling Shengnan rarely answered conversations, so he took the initiative to take over the burden of conversation with Ling Shengnan because his purpose was to strike up a conversation.

"Almost all Internet projects of the Emperor Penguin series and the former PayPal series, a considerable number of project servers are deployed in the ACS cloud server led by Pan Yu. It has to be said that in addition to considering the development support of ACS, the layout of this step

, and most of it is for safety reasons.”

Rothschild's mind flashed through the information that the team had gathered into his hands, and he couldn't help but admire it.

"The opponent I value is indeed a figure. The reason why he stood out among the 40-person PayPal programmer team and became the youngest COO in the history of the PayPal team is not only because he is a senior technical talent, but also a

A strategic master with a long-term vision.

Back then, Pan Yu, the founder and CEO of ACS, was already a senior security director in the PayPal team. At that time, PayPal's security issues even involved funds. He had already gained a lot of professional experience at that time, and these

It is perfect to apply the experience to ACS in the pure hardware and network security parts.

Over the years, cloud services have gradually entered the world's attention. Large companies including Amazon, Bing, and Microsoft have successively announced the inclusion of cloud services in their plans. But because ACS took the lead, now

Already occupying 75% of the cloud service market share."

Seeing Ling Shengnan finally paying attention, Rothschild felt a little happy in his heart.

But he didn't want to show this slight inner movement easily.

Instead, he continued to show his heart.

"Microsoft's chief software architect, Ray Ozzie, can be considered a big name in the IT industry. There are rumors that he has only joined Microsoft for three years and is one of Bill Gates' potential successors.

This person issued an internal Microsoft memo just four months after joining Microsoft in 2005. At that time, his idea was to build a disruptive platform at Microsoft and recreate the Microsoft Windows operating system, application services and Microsoft office suite based on the Internet.

and other design results that have achieved great success.

This set of ideas was finally put forward by him, who gradually gained power this year. There is news that one month later, Ray Oates will reveal their Windows Azure plan to the outside world at the Microsoft PDC conference. And the plan is

The core part is the software platform in the form of software as a service (saas)."

In order to show "professionalism" in front of Ling Shengnan, Rothschild gushed:

"In just a few years, the concept of cloud computing has gradually become known to the world. From infrastructure as a service (iaas) represented by Amazon's EC2, to platform as a service (paas) represented by Bing's app engine, and Microsoft's

Represents software as a service (saas).

These three large companies are using their own preferences to bring refined cloud services to the world. However, the world has gradually learned that the three cloud computing service systems advocated by these three large companies have long been recognized by professionals within the industry.

I was impressed by the corresponding cloud computing and cloud services under ACS."

Rothschild was somewhat complacent when he thought about the trouble he had caused with the ACS when he was young and frivolous.

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Do you still remember the first time you and I met on the Internet? It was in 2003 when ACS was first launched. You collided with my hacker team and launched an attack on the infant ACS at the same time. Although they were both beaten by Pan Yu, a former

PayPal's senior security executive stopped me, and that's how we got to know each other."

Although she was never tired of Rothschild's nagging, when Ling Shengnan thought about the time she came into contact with Ning Zimo's property with the help of her master, her eyes softened unconsciously.

Rothschild, who had been watching her, noticed the change in her and was immediately happy.

"ACS was launched five years ago, which means that ACS was already under development at least six years ago. The advanced concepts shown to people by the three major companies, Amazon, Microsoft, and Bing, were probably not developed seven years ago.

It has already been engraved in Ning Zimo’s mind.”

Happy to be happy, Rothschild felt quite melancholy when the current topic was mentioned.

"Seven years ago... Ning Zimo was only 18 at that time. At that time, the future he envisioned in his mind was already much loftier than those of these late-minded executives of large companies... No,

Needless to say...he is the opponent I admire most in my life."

Hot-blooded enthusiasm flowed rapidly through Rothschild's body, which made his gaze towards Ling Shengnan become even hotter.

"Tell me, although Facebook was acquired by Ning Zimo, the technical support behind Facebook is ACS, which he planned many years ago. If the government has such a far-sighted opponent, how can such a result not make people excited?

?”

Both generosity and ambition were revealed. Although he was very disgusted with the person in front of him, Ling Shengnan had to admit that Rothschild should be the most ambitious of all Ning Zimo's opponents.

But so what?

After so many years, she stood silently in the darkness and carefully watched Ning Zimo's steady development. How could she not know that he, whom she had only known for 44 hours, was a "daydreamer" who kept staring into the distance?

.

Especially as her understanding of today's Internet becomes more and more clear, can she not know that Facebook has great strategic significance in his industry and in the Internet social field he plans?

She is standing here now, doesn't she just want to protect him silently?

Therefore, even if the person behind Facebook is not ACS, she will do everything possible to prevent Rothschild, an ambitious guy, from succeeding. It is even possible that she will find a way to tell Ning Zimo that Rothschild

There is a huge desire for Skype.

But, will time allow her to do this?

The darkness buried in his heart was unconsciously revealed from Ling Shengnan's eyes.

Noticing the change in her expression, Rothschild, who was in high spirits, finally calmed down.

"Katsuo, the strategy for Facebook is just a branch line in our acquisition of Skype." Rothschild said softly, "No matter what the outcome of this branch line is, it will not affect the result of Skype's acquisition..."

Looking at the woman in front of him who only had the opportunity to kiss her in his dream, Rothschild finally let go of his stretched out arm.

He understood that he was a traditional aristocrat after all. If he wanted to get the woman in front of him, he had better not be rude to her.

Resisting the impulse for a moment, Rothschild expressed relief, "Zhang Junhao and Winston have prepared all the information related to Skype and eBay, and we are currently conducting further detailed analysis. It is expected that next month will be our final

Good time to take action.”

"Why?" Ling Shengnan suddenly became curious.

The woman he had been longing for had finally changed, and Rothschild was immediately in a good mood, "According to Ning Zimo's schedule, next month is the opening ceremony of the WePaly e-sports competition. That is the gaming industry that he values ​​​​and he

The little diva’s ex-girlfriend has long announced that she will participate in singing the opening song. So, next month is a critical moment for us..."

"Can I be involved in this acquisition negotiation? I want to see it."

After so many years, due to some important reasons, Ling Shengnan has been able to stay behind the scenes.

But this time,

She wants to go out.

Looking into Ling Shengnan's longing eyes, Rothschild felt a kind of desire stirring in his heart.

He didn't know what the small change in front of him meant, but he could see that there were countless possibilities.

"Of course, after all, you can't stay behind the scenes forever." Rothschild suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and even thought of something further, "One day in the future, you will always stand in front of the stage."

…

When leaving Ling Shengnan's office area, Rothschild felt refreshed.

But after seeing Zhang Junhao walking towards him, he quickly adjusted to his usual state.

Zhang Junhao, who was holding the information, did not notice his changes and reported directly:

"We have directly submitted an invitation to acquire Skype to eBay through a clean subsidiary, but because of the reputation of the subsidiary, it is estimated that the other party will not respond."

"It doesn't matter, this is just a test first." Rothschild said, "I have stepped up all the data collection work in the past few days. At the beginning of next month, I will go to see Meg Whitman in person!"

"OK,"

"It's time for the Internet industry to bear our name!" Rothschild said boldly, "Ning Zimo became famous by selling Skype for 5.6 billion, so we will do the opposite and rely on acquisitions.

He created Skype to become famous!”

Become famous in one battle, what a powerful statement!

After standing behind the scenes for too long, Zhang Junhao really wants to return to the spotlight.

And this time, they may really have that chance!

***+***

While Rothschild was looking forward to the future, Ning Zimo was also looking forward to the future.

Through the monitor, Ning Zimo watched the Falcon 1 on the small vibration table ready to go, while all SpaceX employees were busy preparing for all the final work.

"The final test is passed and the countdown begins."

"ignition!"

As Musk gave the order, the falcon's tail in the monitor was already shooting out blazing flames.

The falcon on the vibrating table gradually broke away from the earth's gravity precisely because of the hot fireworks.

As the flames grew stronger, the Falcon broke away from the stent at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Everything is normal, the Falcon is in the air!"

The speaker's voice had a hint of tremor as he watched the falcon slowly fly towards the blue sky.

"Prepare, the first-stage thruster is ready to disengage."

With a command, the falcon in the monitor was taking off its first layer of clothing.

"The second-stage thruster is working normally!"

After getting rid of the baggage, the falcon continued to ignite the blazing flames and continued to cross towards the wider sky.

“Everything is OK!!!”

There was only one voice in the room, and SpaceX Chief Technology Officer Tom Mueller stared at the status on the screen motionlessly. He watched the Falcon on the monitor gradually leaving the atmosphere.

Musk, standing next to him, could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart. When he turned his face, Ning Zimo even saw traces of moisture in the eyes of this Silicon Valley Iron Man.

"The Falcon successfully reached Konjac orbit, we succeeded!!"

"We made it!!"

"We succeeded!!"

Ning Zimo's ears were filled with all kinds of roars, and among the various noises, there were even a few crying sounds mixed in.

Putting his arm around Musk's shoulders, Ning Zimo didn't forget to pat him on the shoulder:

"Man, you did it!"

"Successful!" Musk covered his eyes and his voice became trembling, "But it's not 'you'. Now SpaceX has your share. So, we succeeded."

"Okay man, we did it."

Ning Zimo smiled and patted Musk on the shoulder, but he didn't want more people to rush over and hug them.

cheer,

Jumping for joy.

Howls of victory filled every corner of the SpaceX launch control room.

Dong Qianqian stood far away, smiling at the messy gathering in front of her. At this moment, Ronan came over with a mobile phone.

Looking at the message from Zhang Miaoying, Dong Qianqian was a little surprised by the sudden appearance of her opponent.

"What should I do?" Ronan was curious.

Dong Qianqian turned her head and glanced in Ning Zimo's direction, then shook her head:

"It's okay, let them finish celebrating first. This moment is a victory for SpaceX. As for our new opponent, the dean should have some ideas."

Ronan glanced at the crazy crowd and shrugged casually.

Yes, this moment is a victory for SpaceX.

As for new problems, they are not something that a non-professional like him can worry about.
