Chapter 102: Data Center?
Happy times are always short-lived, and as Longtu continues to remove obstacles, various projects begin to develop at a very high speed.
The monthly report of the first month of "Dragon Babu" came out.
Since the preparations in the West have not yet been completed, the statistics this time are only domestic data.
However, it is not the data presented in the report itself that is worth mentioning, but the fact that Li Xiaoming's dream is gradually being realized.
His dream of doing his part for the development of society is slowly becoming a reality over time.
Because of the existence of this game, Internet cafes across the country had to start a large-scale hardware iteration.
At the same time, for the first time, differences in internet fees were seen between different internet cafes in the same area.
In the past, Internet cafes were almost the same, most of them were two dollars an hour, and the expensive areas were only three yuan.
And this time, the Internet café that prioritized iteration took advantage of the trend to increase the Internet fee.
Taking Chengdu as an example, the Internet cafes that have iterated their hardware have now risen to three to five yuan for Internet access, while the Internet cafes that have not iterated have still maintained the level of two yuan.
At the same time, the increase in Internet fees has not led to fewer customers due to the increase in prices, but has increased the number of people queuing.
The ripple effects are far more than that.
Starting from the iteration of hardware in Internet cafes, there has been a wave of development climax in the electronics industry.
A large number of people began to pour into the industry, creating a lot of business opportunities and jobs.
Due to the increase in the density of people in the vicinity of related industries, the catering, travel and accommodation industries have begun to flourish.
The development of the industry has led to the concentration of wealth, and the housing prices around the related industries have begun to rise slightly.
Of course, this is the first few months in a row, and now Longtu is basking in the joy of the benefits of each project.
In the conference room, Xiang Qiang almost didn't scold Li Xiaoming.
He crossed Erlang's legs, shook his head and said: "Oops, the data of this "Dragon Babu" is just average, it has been a whole month, and only twenty districts have been opened, compared to the previous "Legend" and "Dragon Quest", this speed is also a little too slow." ”
Li Xiaoming looked at the people around him who were gritting their teeth, and rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.
No wonder he was beaten that black beating, he was beaten unjustly, looking at his proud appearance, I believe it will definitely not be very far from the next beating.
Jiang Qingnian, the deputy director of Tengyun, who was in charge of reporting the data, looked up at Xiang Qiang, buried his head and continued to read the report, completely ignoring Xiang Qiang, who was playing treasure.
"Due to technical reasons, our company now needs to arrange resources for the service launch plan of each subsidiary, so that the company will save at least 22% of the money in the server. ”
"Now a total of 20 districts of "Dragon Babu" have used as many as 1400 servers around the world, this data is unheard of in the world, and the cost of this part alone is as high as 2 million per month. ”
When Xiang Qiang heard this, he pursed his lips: "Isn't it just 1,400 units, I only used 1,400 units of millions of players, which is interesting enough!"
Li Xiaoming frowned, what the hell is this guy doing? Now that he is in a meeting, he doesn't know, he feels that he is inflated.
He was about to teach Xiang Qiang a lesson, but he didn't expect Liu Minghan to make a move.
"Xiang Qiang, behave casually during the meeting, and deduct all the bonuses of the month. ”
Liu Minghan finished speaking lightly, and continued to bury his head and began to record the data reported by Jiang Qingnian just now.
Xiang Qiang moved his buttocks in a daze, silently closing himself.
The corners of Jiang Qingnian's mouth twitched, and he was secretly refreshed in his heart for a while, telling you to always interject if you have nothing to do, you deserve it!
He coughed dryly twice and continued to report: "Now the utilization rate of 200 storage servers in Dragon Babu has reached 44%, if nothing else, we will need to add new servers at the end of next month." ”
Speaking of this, he thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Li, Mr. Wang has an idea, does he mean that we should build our own data center?"
When Li Xiaoming heard this, he raised his head in surprise: "How can you have this idea?"
"According to Mr. Wang, by building our own data center, our future operating costs can be reduced by more than 20%, and from the perspective of maintenance, a large part of manpower can also be saved, and we will not need to send employees in various provinces as we do now. ”
"And the cost of employees is actually quite large, we are now sending a team, in addition to the eight teams that have been pioneered, there are 12 maintenance teams, a total of more than 100 people, and the travel expenses of these people are almost 300,000 yuan per month, which is too expensive. ”
Li Xiaoming frowned, glanced at the management circle present, and asked, "What do you mean?"
When everyone heard this, they began to talk to each other.
Only the deputy director of Aegis, the old god, was sitting there on the ground, Li Xiaoming looked at him, and said with a smile: "Deputy Director Qian Yun, if you have any opinions, just tell me?"
Hearing this, Qian Yun slowly sat up straight, scratched his face with his right hand, and said: "Let's not talk about the benefits first, do we have to think about what difficulties are in doing this, and how to pay and gain?"
"I want to hear about it. ”
Qian Yun looked at Li Xiaoming, who was smiling, and suddenly became confident: "First of all, we all know one thing now, the current memory price is high, and the storage space is not satisfactory. At the same time, most of the current Internet-related infrastructure is not too perfect, especially the network, which is not a problem that our company can solve by itself. In the end, even if we break through the technical barriers, what about the money?"
He shrugged his shoulders and leaned back into his chair, "That's all for me. ”
After hearing this, Jiang Qingnian said unconvinced: "Technology is always developing, and we can't wait for everything to be ready before doing this, right? Then how long will it take for us to build our company's own data center? Ten years, twenty years? By then, the daylilies will be cold." ”
Qian Yun spread his hands helplessly: "I just put the problem forward, of course we have to think about everything, this is always right, right? Of course you are right, we can't wait for everything to be ready to do, to be honest, this is not in line with our Longtu values, what are we not at the forefront of the industry? But when one thing does more harm than good, it is understandable for us to wait a little, right?"
Listening to the argument between the two, Li Xiaoming was also in a dilemma.
To be honest, from his own will, building a data center now must do more harm than good, and the two core problems are storage and bandwidth.
At present, China has not entered the era of optical fiber at all, if Longtu wants to force this project, then they must need to solve the problem of optical fiber line laying by themselves, which is simply an astronomical amount of money!
But the problem is to be solved, thinking of this, Li Xiaoming plans to continue to listen and see what everyone has to say.
