427 Conservative and aggressive
Wang Yufei's smile was pure.
However, he didn't have time to express his position on Tim Cook's words just now, and his girlfriend next to him naturally picked up the topic: "Mr. Cook, I think you should learn the Chinese language, and then take a look at what the great Chinese man said." ”
"Oh?" Tim Cook looked at Lu Yuxin gently, smiled and said, "Maybe you can translate it for me." ”
Lu Yuxin smiled and said: "The gun is out of the right to do it! In fact, the West also has a similar expression, the truth is always within the range of the cannon, and so on. Of course, we can also understand that compromise can never be exchanged for peace, and so-called allies cannot be replaced. Only when everyone has the truth can both sides realize the value of peace. Of course, Wang Yufei prefers to give up the choice and be a friend or an enemy. It's still an old Chinese saying, when a friend comes, there is wine, and if the jackal comes, it will be a shotgun to greet it. ”
Tim Cook was surprised.
Obviously, this little girl's words are even more tyrannical than her boyfriend, tearing off all the veils of warmth without any scruples, and even only giving friends and enemies two options, directly treating the mall as a battlefield.
Okay, but what's the difference between a mall and a battlefield?
This made Tim Cook start to get serious.
"So Apple is going to be friends or jackals?"
After a moment of hesitation, Tim Cook pondered, "No, Apple chooses neutrality!"
......
The conversation ended in a discord.
Older people are too conservative and young people are too aggressive to talk together.
Of course, neutrality does not mean that you can't say cruel things to your face, but that Apple still hopes to cooperate.
It's just that of course, you don't need to talk to Wang Yufei about the specifics, it's easy to get angry.
Naturally, Ge Lingyue received it.
I think Tim Cook thinks the same way.
Ge Lingyue, who sent away the CCTV reporter, found Wang Yufei with Gu Bingjun.
Ge Lingyue, who has been paying attention to the background data, reported: "The first batch of brain-controlled headphones has been sold out and taken off the shelves, and the sales of chip boxes have exceeded three million, this number has increased rapidly, and the inventory is estimated to be only enough to sell for three days at most, but the day after tomorrow, another batch of products will be offline." ”
There is no technical difficulty in the external chip box, and there have been a lot of orders in Huaxin Precision before, so it is not too urgent to have tens of millions of stock.
"Oh!" Wang Yufei nodded.
The mood is still good.
The fact that there was this sales on the first day shows that the conference was still very successful, and everyone's acceptance of the Xin system is very high, which is a good thing.
"Mr. Gu, now that the product has been released, it can also come to an end. It's still according to the previous arrangement.,The operating system business part of the batch of compensatory leave.。 In addition, Mr. Ge, have you contacted Mr. Chen of the Innovation Building property? Do they really want to sell the property?"
"Yes, I contacted again in the afternoon, and 2.8 billion has been finalized, and Mr. Chen said that the seller's tax is borne by the other party, including business tax and land value-added tax, and the buyer's tax is mainly borne by our deed tax. The other party has already started to prepare various materials, and I have already contacted the bank, and I have made an appointment to go through the change procedures on Monday. Ge Lingyue replied.
Wang Yufei asked in confusion: "It's good to talk on the phone?"
Ge Lingyue nodded and replied, "Yes, because Mr. Chen is not in the capital, and there is no high-level person in the capital who can talk about this matter now." However, Mr. Chen also said that there is no need to bother, and he can decide on the phone. In addition, tomorrow there will be a vice president of Rongkang Group who will fly to the capital tomorrow and be fully responsible for handling this matter. ”
After speaking, Ge Lingyue sighed again: "That Mr. Chen is really alive!"
When I was sleepy, someone gave me a pillow, and it was clear that he took the initiative to promote a business that was not too profitable at all, no, it should be said that there was a high probability of losing money at this stage.
What kind of spirit is this, this is the spirit of internationalism!
"Well, after the transfer of ownership of the building, I told Mr. Chen that he came to the capital and I invited him to dinner. Wang Yufei said seriously.
Ge Lingyue didn't say anything.
In her opinion, there is nothing bad about Wang Yufei as the boss, but the taste of eating is really not good, and every time she treats guests, she is basically in Huaqing's canteen.
"Oh, and there's the catch, we're going to start renovating the building as soon as we buy it. First of all, I plan to transform the -4th floor into an ultra-low temperature laboratory. ”
"Wait, cryogenic lab?"
Gu Bingjun frowned and asked, "This kind of laboratory will be dangerous, right? And it is not very cost-effective to put this kind of laboratory in a commercial property. The point is that it doesn't always get approved. ”
Wang Yufei thought for a moment and said: "The ultra-low temperature laboratory is mainly to do some superconductor material tests, as long as the operation is carried out in strict accordance with the laboratory management regulations, the problem will not be too big." As for the electricity bill, there should be a subsidy. As for the approval, Mr. Ge submitted the report first, but it really couldn't be passed and then the site was selected. It just so happened that the company's data center also needed to start building in large quantities. ”
"First of all, we needed a primary data center to store the big data at the core of the company. This data center must at least reach the storage scale of one million servers. Mr. Ge can talk to Mr. Ma of Penguin Group, I saw on the news that Penguin Group is building a similar data center in your province. Electricity is cheaper and more hidden. ”
"The main data center should be implemented as soon as possible, and secondly, I suggest that a data center with a layout of 50,000 to 100,000 servers should be built in each province of China, and the site selection and local contact should be started as soon as possible. These data centers are responsible for disaster recovery, backup, and so on. ”
Wang Yufei gave the next problem that the company needs to solve.
"Huh?" Ge Lingyue was stunned.
The investment in a data center with a scale of one million servers starts at least $5 billion, and for five to 100,000 data centers in each province, it must be about $7 or 800 million.
"This is too big, isn't it? These projects are implemented at the same time, and I am afraid that the price of semiconductors around the world will rise wildly. Nor can we have the financial resources to support the construction of these data centers at the same time. Ge Lingyue told Wang Yufei this fact very rationally.
Wang Yufei gave a different opinion: "Originally, I didn't plan to be so aggressive, but Mr. Chen decided to sell the property to me and let me plan to try it." If you don't have enough money, you can first find a bank loan, didn't you say that the bank gave us sufficient credit? or the insufficient part can be used as a mortgage with our intellectual property. In short, I think maybe doing these at this time may reap a lot of preferential policies. Data centers always have to be built, and it's better to build them early than late. ”
"And the upfront investment cannot be so much, and the places with preferential policies will be given priority to construction. Less favourable areas can be postponed for a while until the finances are relieved before starting construction. In short, this work is on the agenda and needs to be in charge of a special person. In addition, the data center that has been built should be able to be mortgaged out and re-loaned to fill in the subsequent construction, in fact, I don't know much about finance, Mr. Ge must know more than me. ”
Ge Lingyue nodded with difficulty and replied, "Okay! It seems that the company still needs a very professional CFO to handle our finances, and the data center plan is probably the first step for our finances to move from healthy to unhealthy." ”
Compared with Ge Lingyue's worries, Wang Yufei behaved calmly: "Don't be so worried, Mr. Ge, maybe there will be surprises." The popularity of the system now will bring a lot of benefits to the company in the future, but what we need now is a database system that can keep it running efficiently anywhere. In order to achieve this goal, I don't mind increasing my budget by 100 percent, just to increase the effect by 5 percent. In addition, our database centers will use the Xin system server version, which will save us hundreds of millions of dollars. ”
In the end, Ge Lingyue nodded, Wang Yufei always has a set of his special theories for the development of the company, and he has not missed it so far.
The sudden proposed cooperation of Rongkang Group also made her have similar speculations.
The most important thing is that, as Wang Yufei said, the bank's credit, combined with the company's existing assets and cash flow, as well as the expected future returns, can barely support this project, which may cost nearly $10 billion in initial investment.
But there are risks and opportunities.
Once all of these data centers are built, Changxiang Technology may become one of the most powerful technology companies in the world in terms of storage and computing power.
This is probably one of the most valuable competitive assets for a technology company.
The future is the era of big data, and whether everyone wants to or not, they will be affected by big data. There is no doubt about it.
Gu Bingjun bowed slightly.
For a pure technical officer, the more data centers in the company, the better.
It's a reflection of the strength of a tech company.
If it weren't for the fact that the foundation of Changxiang Technology is still too thin, Gu Bingjun even thinks that the scale and number of the company's data centers can be increased.
I remember that the OceanStor 9000 was tested in SPEC last year and created the world's fastest NFS record of 5 million OPS, and OceanStor 9000 can also support 288 nodes with a single file system capacity of 40PB, which is extremely advanced in the industry."
Wang Yufei nodded, shook his head again, and said: "In the future, the amount of data related to the Xin system alone will definitely exceed 40PB, and we can cooperate in the early stage, but in the later stage, we still need to use the power of self-research to build storage that can virtualize more than 256PB or even higher." Believe in yourself, the solution developed by using Xin system and macro language will not be worse than Weihua, of course, various data exchange equipment at the hardware level can be purchased from Weihua, I believe that our allies will give us a more favorable price, but the software solution, after your vacation is over and the department is reorganized, I will send you a more complete solution. ”
Gu Bingjun was stunned and asked, "The operating system department is going to be reorganized?"
Wang Yufei smiled and said: "Of course, the next workload will be more, you don't really think that just rely on the dozens of people in the current department can support it, right? The entire operating system department is the direction of the company's key development in the future, and it must be further refined." For example, a more efficient and complete big data storage solution always needs a department to connect with large customers, right? There is also a special department to be responsible for the cloud system in the future, etc., in short, the specific restructuring plan, how many people need to be added, Mr. Gu hurriedly made a plan, and then discussed with Mr. Ge to implement it as soon as possible. ”
Well, obviously Gu Bingjun still underestimated Wang Yufei's courage.
Of course, he knew that it would be impossible for the current department manpower to support the business volume of Xin Systems in the future.
But isn't that just the beginning?
Wang Yufei is so sure that the development of Xin system will be smooth sailing in the future, and the market will expand rapidly?
"No problem!"
Ge Lingyue glanced at the time and said, "Okay, it's almost time, let's go to the hotel to participate in the celebration banquet! ”
This has been arranged for a long time.
After the success of the press conference, a grand celebration banquet was held within the company.
After all, this is also a phased victory.
"It's good that the two CEOs go to the celebration banquet, so I won't participate. I have other things to do with Yu Xin. ”
Wang Yufei glanced at the girl next to him and said.
Ge Lingyue was stunned, he had already reported that at today's celebration banquet, he would announce a few good news, such as a 10% salary increase for all employees of Changxiang Technology, and a week-long rotation for employees......
For Wang Yufei, a boss who basically has no sense of involvement in the company, tonight is a good opportunity to buy people's hearts, and then this guy gave up so easily?
"Boss, why don't you go for a while? The company's welfare has been upgraded, and it is better for you, the big boss behind the scenes, to personally announce the effect, and it can better inspire the morale of employees in the next stage of work, right?" Ge Lingyue suggested.
"No need! The employees are managed by you, and it's better for you to announce the benefits! That's it, I'll go first, by the way, arrange a driver for me." ”
"Well, then!"
......
It turns out that being a boss is the capital that can be capricious.
But then again, for Wang Yufei, the celebration banquet is really not very attractive.
The smooth release of the Shixin system made Wang Yufei feel quite excited.
Ever since that epiphany on the shores of Weiming Lake, he could feel more and more the tasks that were pressing on him.
For example, use the knowledge structure in your mind to make the world develop a little faster.
The brain-computer chip and Xin system can be said to be a starting point.
The starting point can also be understood as a basis.
The more solid the foundation, the more calmly you will be able to show your strength in the future.
Therefore, Wang Yufei gave the requirement to start building a large data center now.
Even if it doesn't seem like a good choice.
Without considering the acceptance of capital to settle in, it does seem to be a little anxious.
Sitting on the bus back to school, Wang Yufei suddenly suggested: "Why don't we go buy a house?"
Lu Yuxin looked sideways: "Huh?"
Wang Yufei nodded affirmatively: "Yes, now!"
