Chapter 800: Talking about time
The competition of enterprises is often not a life-and-death fight, not a sword and a sword shadow in the open and in the dark, but a silent invasion of moisturizing things. Time basically has the strength to dismantle the Microsoft Intel alliance, but it won't really do it. Even if the prism gate broke out and China paid unprecedented attention to information security from top to bottom, Zhou Shi did not want to replace Microsoft and Intel's position in China. If you really want to do this, you are either a fool or a pure idealist. Microsoft and Intel now have a combined market capitalization of more than $400 billion, and their annual revenue is larger than that of Time, Nut, and Spreadtrum Communications combined.
Although MIPS is open source, there is not much progress in technology, and now the main market is embedded devices, such as various routers, IPTV, TVs, boxes, etc. Even Chromebooks don't have MIPS-based chips, let alone personal computers.
"The State Institute of Physical Affairs has approached us several times to understand the situation, attaches great importance to information security, and knows that we have the strength to partially replace Windows, so it decided to purchase a batch of office computers with deepin operating system and MIPS architecture chips. Liu Chuanzhi said to Zhou Shi on the phone
"But Loongson's technical indicators are not outstanding, are they enough?" Zhou Shi
"Loongson has opened up its own source code to us, optimized it, and it is barely enough, besides, we are a light office, and the requirements for computer performance are not large. Liu Chuanzhi
"How about Loongson's high-end talent recruitment? If Hu Weiwu's technical strength is not good, change a chief technology officer and let him transform into a spiritual leader!" Zhou Shi
"Time doesn't seem to be the major shareholder of Loongson?" Liu Chuanzhi
"If I can't do it myself, I can do it, is it difficult for them to do it?"
"Not everyone has your generosity!" Liu Chuanzhi, he had a better understanding of Zhou Shi's naivety, he was willing to give up, Zhou Shi was willing to give everything to get it, Liu Chuanzhi thought secretly. Zhou Shi has given up a lot since the beginning of his business, but he has gained a lot, and the gains and losses are really not something that can be summed up in one sentence.
"In addition, there are already ideas that the National Academy of Things will recommend that important departments in China use mobile phones with the Time Android system......" Liu Chuanzhi
"And this good thing, why are they so powerful?" Zhou Shi
"Maybe I hope we will make more contributions to domestic information security!" Liu Chuanzhi was a little surprised, Lenovo got great benefits from domestic government procurement, but now seeing that time has the possibility of replacing Lenovo, his thoughts are very complicated.
"Fortunately, they look at the long term, and know that no one does anything that is not beneficial, we have already paid so much, if there is no return, it is too chilling, wait for more than a month, the big guy will visit the US imperialists, I will ask again, what are the better offers. Zhou Shi, he subconsciously said this to avoid some bad things.
"It's good that time is short of funds now, and there are some difficulties with the loan with the China Development Bank, which can be solved better!" Liu Chuanzhi
"They are not optimistic about the development of Time Company, they are worried that we won't be able to make money, or what's wrong?"
"They want to take a stake in Time Holdings!" Liu Chuanzhi
"Hehe, they think too much!" Zhou Shi has long made it clear that Time Holdings does not accept any external capital, and the non-core subsidiaries of Time can be shared. Specifically, it is cloud computing (IaaS), Chrome (browser, cloud computer operating system), Time Music, Instagram, etc.
"Could it be that Time Holdings has always maintained the status quo?" Liu Chuanzhi
"Maintaining the status quo has cost me a lot, and it is impossible to change it in the short term, no one can do it, and I have explained the specific reasons to the above. "Zhou Shi
"Why?" said Liu Chuanzhi
"Let's talk about it later, it's a little early now!" Zhou Shi, if Time Holdings wants to be unimpeded in the world, it must keep a certain distance from the Huaxia Zhengfu, this is because of the country's strength, if one day, the Huaxia government can deploy military forces around the world, maybe there won't be such trouble, who knows?
"By the way, the annual revenue of cloud computing is only about one billion US dollars, but the continuous investment of more than 1 billion US dollars per year is too much pressure on the company, is it possible to introduce third-party investors?" Liu Chuanzhi
"Liu Lao, how many industries in the world do you say can have an annual growth rate of more than 40 percent? We have made so many layouts for cloud computing, with so many advantages, and we can still insist on it, and it is difficult for others to provide us with additional help to introduce third-party investors, do you think it is really appropriate? Or are you worried that our cloud computing will fail?" Zhou Shi, Amazon's cloud computing business revenue at this time in his previous life was roughly 15~About 2 billion US dollars, in this life, because YouTube became a subsidiary of Amazon, Zhou Shi controlled Netflix, which occupied one-third of the traffic in the United States at the peak of the future, and then invested the business in Time Cloud, coupled with the development of its own business, last year's revenue was about 1 billion US dollars.
Amazon's cloud computing business revenue last year was greatly reduced, that is, about 12~300 million US dollars, and the gap between the two sides was not much, that is, because of the Chinese background, it was slandered by many people for information security problems, so in some large businesses of the US imperialists, Time Cloud could not compete with Amazon. Otherwise, it is also possible to surpass Amazon's AWS cloud computing business. Of course, for the sake of long-term development, Zhou Shi will also control and try to make Amazon the leader of this industry, after all, the boss of the Internet market is the most attractive existence. The cloud computing market is different, and the winner-takes-all rule is not necessarily suitable. What's more, in the Chinese market, Time has a great advantage, as the world's second largest public cloud service provider, Time has naturally become the cloud service provider of the 12306 website.
"Zhou Shi, money is endless, let go of a part of the benefits, reap greater benefits, I think you understand this truth. Liu Chuanzhi
"That's right, but in the absence of competitors, the market does not have a full understanding of this market, and we have enough funds and strength, there is no need to compromise. After a few years, the market recognizes this model, we refinance, you know, this is a capital and technology-intensive industry, our position in the country is almost impossible to be replaced, whether it is Ali, Baidu or Penguin, friends network has no technical strength that can match us. "Zhou Shi
"But don't forget, you don't have to be technologically advanced to succeed. Liu Chuanzhi
"Of course, so I said, in two or three years, Time's cloud computing business will be open for financing again!Liu Lao, this market has just begun, Lenovo still has a chance, and Lenovo has a lot of opportunities in the field of private cloud and hybrid cloud!"
"Lenovo ......" Liu Chuanzhi hesitated
