On the second day of the competition, ICQ held a press conference to announce the reason why Siri was able to defeat the Deep Blue supercomputer.

At the press conference, people were surprised to find that Henry Williams was also present.

At this moment, Tian Shuai, CEO of ICQ, said loudly on the stage: "Everyone knows that siri is just an artificial intelligence program running on an Apple laptop. The computing power of Apple's laptop is far from being comparable to Deep Blue, but why did Siri win?" After a pause, Tian Shuai's gaze swept around the audience and continued, "Here, I will announce to you the magic weapon of Siri's victory!"

"In fact, in addition to Siri's algorithm mastery, we also use another disruptive new Internet technology - cloud computing !!"

The audience immediately exchanged heads and whispered, what "cloud computing" is, as if they have never heard of it.

Tian Shuai waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Cloud computing is simply to let 'computing' be distributed on a large number of distributed computers, rather than local computers. The reason why it is called cloud computing is because distributed computers are distributed all over the world, as many as clouds, so the name is simple. Now, we also know that the Deep Blue supercomputer is just a computer, and Siri uses cloud computing, but behind it is an incredibly large data center!"

Tian Shuai paused and said proudly: "Deep Blue's computing power is 1 billion floating point operations per second, but do you know how much computing power Siri has?"

Without waiting for everyone to answer, Tian Shuai almost said in a roar: "It's a thousand times, a thousand times that of the dark blue computer!!"

When everyone heard this, they were shocked, and they all had expressions of stunned and disbelief!

Tian Shuai looked at everyone's expressions and reactions, and was very satisfied, and continued to himself: "Previously, Mr. Henry Williams proposed to build data centers around the world, but it was questioned by the world. Now it seems that building a data center is absolutely correct! The data center we are building is different from the traditional data center, but a cloud computing data center! We can let users use ordinary Apple computers or laptops to access our cloud computing data center, and then calculate according to their own needs. We can give them a trillion times per second of computing power that only a supercomputer can have, and we can even let them simulate a nuclear explosion on an ordinary computer!"

The more Tian Shuai spoke, the more excited the people in the audience became.

They never imagined that the data center that Henry insisted on building would be so powerful!

"Of course, there are more uses for cloud computing data centers, so let's welcome Mr. Henry Williams to the stage with the warmest applause!" Tian Shuai took the lead in applauding after speaking.

Immediately, the applause was like a tide, wave after wave!

Henry smiled slightly and walked slowly onto the stage. His blazing eyes glanced at everyone, and said with a faint smile: "What can a huge cloud computing data center be used for? Previously, if you wanted to run some enterprise applications in your office or on your company's website, you needed to buy a server or other expensive hardware to control local applications and make your business run. But no need now, our cloud computing data center has enough idle resources to provide you with for rent, including processors, storage, networking, and other basic computing resources, and you can deploy and run any software, including operating systems and applications, at will!"

"In this way, does it reduce the development and operation costs of many companies?!" Henry smiled slightly, "I call this model laaS, infrastructure as a service." ”

Henry paused, and then said, "In addition, we rely on a powerful data center to provide developers with a standard environment for building applications, so that they don't have to think too much about the underlying hardware, save money on hardware, and make it easier to collaborate between distributed studios! ”

"Once the application software is developed, it has to be used by consumers. So, we can provide software that runs on cloud computing data centers, and consumers can access it online through some clients on computers, laptops, and other devices, so that they don't need to download it. And this model is called SaaS, Software as a Service. For example, if you use SaaS services, you can make WPS-Online online office software, and then click on the WPS plug-in to open the software through the browser! At the same time, the content written by the user can also be synchronized to the cloud space. This cloud space," Henry smiled and explained, "Cloud space is a space with a certain storage size, for example, Kingsoft can provide each WPS user with 2G of private storage space, they can log in to the WPS cloud space, and find the files they have written." At the same time, users can also upload or download files in the cloud space, and these files are not limited to WPS files, but also pictures, videos, etc.......

After Henry's words were finished, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath, and their faces turned red with excitement.

It's simply a kind of pioneering, no...... If you segment the market, there should be three profit models, and each profit model will have extremely great potential!

"Genius, really genius!! he insisted on building a data center at the beginning, it was not without a purpose, it turned out that he had already thought of a means of making a profit!"

To sum up, to sum up, IaaS mainly provides infrastructure services such as virtual computing, storage, and databases, while PaaS provides an environment for developers to build applications, and SaaS provides users with cloud-based applications. ”

"However, you must not think that cloud computing data centers are all about these three functions, but they are not. Henry understated, "What's the most important thing in a cloud computing data center? Through big data management and analysis, it can help us solve many, many problems. For example, online shopping, each consumer's consumption habits will be stored in the data center, and then we can know what he likes and how ...... consumption level through data analysis, and then push commodity information that meets his consumption situation, so that the transaction success rate of goods can be greatly improved!

The crowd's eyes lit up and they were excited, and although they were only journalists, it was not difficult to understand the great value behind everything Henry said.

"That's awesome! How far did Henry Williams get his head? I really want to knock his head open and see ......."

Some reporters looked into Henry's gaze with a hint of heat and madness!

Soon, after the press conference ended, there was no time for reporters to ask questions, and Henry and Tian Shuai left the press conference directly. The reporters were not angry, but hurriedly packed up their things and went back to catch up with the manuscript.

The next day, newspapers and television reported on yesterday's ICQ press conference.

As soon as the news came out, the world was in an uproar!

It turned out that Henry Williams was actually in such a big game!

Cloud computing data center, LaaS, PaaS, SaaS, cloud space, big data and other terms are rapidly becoming popular all over the Internet. All the Internet or computer-related companies were shocked. Henry Williams stood on top of the palace as if he were the King of God, looking down at them!

Henry's words have almost become the "Bible" of the Internet, and countless people worship and learn from them.

Some people call him the "father of cloud computing", others call him the "father of big data", he founded the Internet companies, all of which are dominant, and the Internet team he leads is all kings.

In this era, his name has become the symbol of the Internet, and he is the emperor of the Internet!!

At this time, the performance of all listed companies under Henry's name in the stock market was extremely amazing, and the stock price rose wildly, and there was no intention to stop looking at the trend!

Shareholders are crazy, investors are crazy, Wall Street is crazy, "Williams concept stocks" are unconsciously formed, which is more fierce than Internet concept stocks, as long as it is a little bit of edge, the stock price will rise. At this time, Facebook, YouTube, Linkedln, and TriAdvisor were just about to go public. Rumors began to spread that Henry Williams had invested in the four companies, holding a 30 percent stake in Facebook, a 25 percent stake in YouTube, a 22.5 percent stake in LinkedIn and a 20 percent stake in TriAdvisor.

However, as many people know, these four companies do not seem to be short of money, and none of them have received investment from any venture capital firm. Perhaps, these gossip are pure rumors.

However, what is surprising is that within two days, these four companies actually made an official statement: "Yes, Henry Williams did invest in us, and the rumors are true!"

Originally, these four websites were the fastest growing innovative Internet companies in recent years, and now with Henry Williams' investment, it means that even Henry Williams is extremely optimistic about them!

A senior Wall Street analyst said: "It's hard to imagine what kind of sensation these four companies will cause when they go public, because they all have Henry Williams !! among their investors."

On February 5, Facebook's website took the lead in going public, and its IPO issued 100 million shares, accounting for 20% of the total share capital, at $50 per share, that is, the pre-IPO valuation has reached $25 billion.

The CEO of Facebook is a Chinese-American named Rowan. He held the hammer with excitement on his face, while Henry stood to the side, smiling, "The time is almost up, get ready to ring the bell!"

"Mr. Williams, you're going to knock it on!" Rowan tweeted.

"I don't even know how many times I've knocked on this thing, or you can knock on it, so I can experience the feeling of a NASDAQ ringing a clock!" Henry smiled with a wave of his hand.

Rowan said excitedly: "Thank you, Mr. Williams, I really didn't ring the bell on the NASDAQ!"

The NASDAQ transaction started at 9 o'clock, Rowan kept looking at the clock on the LCD screen, and when it came to 9 o'clock, he was full of excitement and rang the bell vigorously.

"Knock !!"

The audience immediately burst into warm applause, and Henry looked at Facebook's stock market symbol appearing on the LCD screen, and said in his heart, Facebook has finally gone public......
