Chapter 494: Geniuses Always Take the Unusual Path

There is also a reason why few people do video websites, especially long videos.

I want to do this thing well, but the investment is too big!

Servers and bandwidth alone are not something that the average small company can afford.

Not to mention that at that time in 2003, even after more than ten years, there were only a few giants left in the video website, and they began to charge comprehensively, but those video giants still lost money every year and never made a profit!

What Tencent Video and iQiyi are watching, the scenery on the surface is infinite, but only they know the bitterness inside.

Why do video sites have to engage in gold members, super members, and even after your members have bought them, you have to pay separately if you want to watch hot dramas, and you can watch a few episodes in advance than other members after paying dozens of dollars more.

It's all forced, the website is under too much financial pressure, so it's natural to try its best to make money.

If he could, Yu Wenfei wouldn't want to do this.

However, Facebook wants to be pan-entertaining and form its own ecological closed loop, and the video website really has to do it, and there is no way.

To be a video website is to spend money desperately in the early stage, and then pull venture capital everywhere.

If in the process of development, venture capital cannot be attracted and the flow of funds is cut off, then the website will also go out of business.

The purpose is to survive all competitors and finally successfully go public and cash out.

As for the profit model of the video website, it depends on the membership fee plus advertising, but this is far from enough for the huge expenditure of website operation and purchase of various copyrights.

Therefore, since Yu Wenfei plans to make a video website, then he must make the hardware supporting in front, he doesn't imagine that those video websites on the market are the same, watching movies for one minute and caching for ten minutes.

Isn't that ruining your reputation?

In particular, the WeChat project that is about to be launched is a big user of hardware and bandwidth......

Tencent now has more than 100 million users, and the estimate of being online at the same time is less than 10 million and less than 20 million, because the number of users is very large.

In this way, the Pengcheng Telecom computer room rented by Tencent has accounted for 85% of Pengcheng Telecom's traffic!

That's a staggering number.

And this is still in the case that Tencent QQ has not launched functions such as voice and video chat, in fact, is it difficult to add these functions?

Or are people from Tencent unexpected?

It's neither, it's just because Tencent's hardware strength doesn't allow it......

That's it, QQ was still very slow to use at that time, there was no offline information, and there was no historical chat history.

"Manager Lu, tell Mr. Cai about our data center planning. Yu Wenfei turned his head and said to Lu Qi.

"Okay, Mr. Fei. There are five data centers in our planning, which were originally invested with 200 million yuan of the company's own funds, but now the land has been found and the construction will start immediately. But now the plan has changed, according to the meaning of Mr. Fei, it is to expand the scale, and it is directly in place. For example, if you take a single data center, the plan is to build one building first, and set aside at least five buildings of vacant space for later expansion. The construction area of the computer room is about 20,000 square meters, the number of designed cabinets is 1,500, the total designed power consumption is 18MW, and the power consumption of a single rack is 8KW! Each cabinet is 20 servers, a total of 30,000 servers!

Of course, we will not fill all the computer rooms in the early stage, but will gradually replenish them in the later stage, and we will deploy 2,000 servers in a data center at the beginning. If all IBM high-end commercial servers are purchased, the average price per unit is more than 100,000 yuan, and the specific price depends on the results of negotiations with the other party. In this way, the investment amount of a data center will reach 250 million. Therefore, it is just right to add the one billion that has just been financed to the original 200 million. ”

Lu Qi gushed introducing.

From the planning of this data center, Cai Congxin has already felt how big Yuwenfei's ambition is!

There are five new data centers, plus the Xinzhuang Science and Technology Park, for a total of six data centers.

Each data center starts with 3,000 high-powered servers and can quickly expand to 30,000!

In addition, each data center has space for expansion.

What does Yu Wenfei want to do?

Do you want to be a telecom operator......

Cai Congxin can't imagine how big a scale to achieve, so many data centers and so many servers are needed!

Is the smiling young man in front of him a genius or a madman?

............

Yu Wenfei was busy in the company, and he received a call from the tutor.

"Yu Wenfei, congratulations on getting $400 million in venture capital, you will be a real billionaire in the future. Ah, that's not right, you've been a billionaire for a long time, should I say it...... Billionaire!" Lao Huang said heartily on the phone.

"Thank you, Mr. Huang, what a billionaire, early. Yu Wenfei responded with a smile.

"You've done a very successful job in the company, but have you forgotten something?" said Lao Huang again.

Forgot something?

Yu Wenfei was a little puzzled, why didn't he remember what he had forgotten.

"Have you ever been to school when the school year starts? Don't forget that you're still a student, so you should show up at school anyway." ”

Lao Huang on the other end of the phone almost didn't vomit blood.

This student!

I really don't know whether to praise him or scold him.

Of course, Lao Huang didn't have the courage to scold Yu Wenfei, but he knew that Yu Wenfei was closer than his son in front of the two principals.

Now Jiaotong University seems to be proud of Yu Wenfei, and on the school's official website, Yu Wenfei has more news than the president!

His photos have been hanging on the homepage of the school's official website.

"Hehe, haven't you been busy for a while, Mr. Huang, you know, I'm sorry. Yu Wenfei explained helplessly.

"Of course I understand, so I didn't bother you the other day. But in the past two days, you have taken the time to come to school, the test results of the previous year came out, and the test was good. Also, our school's own scholarship selection has also come out, and you are the first prize. Lao Huang said patiently.

"The results are out, am I the first?" Yu Wenfei asked with a smile.

"Hmm...... Yes!"

Lao Huang didn't want to answer this question because he felt that the world was too unfair. A student like Yu Wenfei, who has not taken a few classes in a semester, actually won the first place in the whole department, is there still a heavenly reason, and is there still a royal law!

Those students who spend all day in the library and self-study room are not as good as Yu Wenfei's grades, so how can he, as a counselor, teach students in the future?

If you say that students don't study well, how will they do in the future, maybe students will use Yu Wenfei's example to refute you.

"Look at Yu Wenfei, you don't have to go to class, you can get good results in the exam. ”

How do you say this makes Lao Huang answer?

Maybe Yu Wenfei is a real genius, always taking the usual path!

............

It's been almost a month since school started, and the classmates in Yu Wenfei's class haven't seen Yu Wenfei show up.

However, the news about him is known to everyone in the past few days.

"Oh, why hasn't my cousin come to class these days, I haven't seen him in a long time. A girl muttered.

If it were me, I would have dropped out of school a long time ago, and I would have learned from Bill Gates, dropped out of school to start a business, and left a good story. A boy answered.

"Forget it, it's possible for you to drop out of school, and forget about starting a business. However, if you drop out, it is more likely that you will be ordered to drop out. The girl looked at him disdainfully and said.

talked about Yu Wenfei, and there were many people involved, after all, which girl doesn't like her cousin, and which boy doesn't worship Yu Wenfei.

"I heard from the counselor today that the first place in the final exam of our department is my cousin, which is too powerful, and you can take the first place in the exam without coming to class all day. "The other girl had little stars all over her eyes.

But it's no wonder that my cousin's grades were the first in the country when he entered the school, and now it's not easy for him to get the first place in the whole department. ”

"I adore him so much, he is handsome, his grades are so good, especially when he starts a business, he is so successful!"

"Yes, yes, my cousin is definitely the most perfect prince charming in the minds of all girls......"

Of course, there are many people who praise Yu Wenfei, but there are also those who don't like him, after all, Yu Wenfei is not a renminbi, and it is impossible for everyone to like it.

Gao Xiaoguang listened to everyone's discussion, and he was secretly pouting, thinking to himself that Yu Wenfei's first ghost knew if it was the school's changed grades.

He doesn't believe that he can still take the first exam if he often skips class like Yu Wenfei?

But he didn't say anything, at this time, he said bad things about Yu Wenfei in the class, isn't that stupid......

Gao Xiaoguang is relatively smart, even if he is unhappy with Yuwenfei, he will not say it, but some people's brains are not as flexible as him.

Just when everyone was happily blowing Yuwenfei, a boy said in a weird way: "Okay, don't blow it, no matter how much you brag it, Yuwenfei won't hear it." Hehe, the ghost knows if this is his real grade, but don't forget, Yu Wenfei is now the school's own son! It is estimated that even if he hands in a blank paper, he can get the first place in the whole department. ”

This immediately annoyed many girls.

"Hey, Liuhe, what are you talking about? Do you have any evidence? Shut up without evidence, is it interesting to spew blood like this?"

"That's it, my grades are not as good as Yu Wenfei, and I look ugly, so I'm jealous of my cousin, right?

The boy named Liu He was a little anxious, his face turned red, and he tried his best to defend: "Of course I don't have any evidence, but if I think about it with my brain, I know that if Yu Wenfei's high school grades are good, does that mean that he must have good grades in college? This doesn't make sense logically! Besides, he came to take a few classes last semester, and everyone can see it." I don't believe that under such circumstances, he can still be the first in the department!"

As he was talking, he noticed that some of the people were looking behind him with happy faces.

When he turned his head to look, he was stunned to find that Yu Wenfei was standing behind him, and he should have just entered the classroom.

Liu He's words, Yu Wenfei just heard it, he was also helpless, shook his head and said: "Whether you believe it or not, I just won the first, what do you want me to do?"

As he spoke, he spread out his hands with an innocent look on his face.

Everyone burst into laughter and greeted him.
