According to the agreement, after the contract was signed, the first tranche of 110 million yuan of financing had been paid to the account of the school intranet.

Since this financing was mainly used to build the data center, after the first fund arrived, Jiang Hui arranged for Flash Rain to organize the first data center preparatory meeting.

Flash rain was also planning a data center before, but it was mainly a theoretical plan in the early stage.

Now that a formal preparatory team has been formed, it is time to begin preparations for the implementation of the measures.

Jiang Hui personally served as the leader of the preparatory team for the construction of the data center, which showed his attention; Tang Wenwen, Shanyu and Rao Yongxiang, deputy general manager of Sequoia Capital, served as the deputy team leader; Professor Jin, deputy dean of the School of Software of Imperial Capital University, served as the chief engineer, and Professor Jin's main research direction was the construction of the data center, and he was also the person in charge of the industry-university-research cooperation project of the intranet data center and the School of Software; in addition, several professors from the School of Software of the Imperial University of Technology served as consultants, and SoftBank and Sequoia Capital also hired two experts to participate in the construction of the data center; and several senior brothers from other companies poached by ShanyuThe above-mentioned personnel basically constitute the core team of the data center construction preparatory team.

After the establishment of the preparatory group, the first thing that needs to be determined is the investment scale of the data center, the project location, and the target of data processing capacity.

Considering that the number of data processing figures will increase rapidly in the future, Jiang Hui hopes that the first data center will not be too small, and it will be very depressing if it falls behind just after it is built.

In terms of financial considerations, Jiang Hui is ready to let the school intranet invest 500 million yuan and Guanghui Games invest 500 million yuan to jointly build the first processing center. Since the funds do not need to be in place in one step, the amount of 500 million is not very stressful for both the school intranet and the glorious game. The school intranet now makes a profit of about 40 million yuan per month, and with this financing, it is fully enough to raise enough money to build a data center. Not to mention the glorious game, a big gold absorber, with an income of hundreds of millions a month, and I don't know how to spend the money.

The benefits of the joint construction of the two companies can not only reduce the pressure on funds, but also improve the utilization rate of the data center, which can also be regarded as providing some early experience for future cloud services.

The first meeting of the Preparatory Group was held on the intranet of the school, and all the members of the group attended on time.

"Today we are preparing the company's first data center, which is a pioneering and long-term effort. Data centers will occupy an increasingly important position in the Internet in the future, and the company will soon have a second and third data center. The development of data centers is related to the company's strategic direction, and many of the company's businesses will depend on data center ...... in the future," Jiang Hui said at the meeting.

Chief Engineer Professor Jin and Shanyu also spoke one after another, putting forward their own understanding and suggestions for the data center.

After the meeting, the data center construction preparatory team began to officially start its work, but Jiang Hui, the team leader, is more of a name, except for important matters that need to be decided when he will participate, other things are promoted by other members of the preparatory team.

At a time when the construction of the data center is being promoted in the school intranet, the reports of various media on the financing of the school intranet have increased unabated, which has also attracted the attention of the imperial capital municipal government.

"Mr. Jiang, I just received a contact from the general office of the municipal government, saying that the mayor of the imperial city intends to visit our company in the near future, let me and the company's founder Mr. Jiang, please confirm which time period is convenient?", Tang said.

"Mayor Wang, is he the deputy mayor in charge of the economy or the mayor? Did you say what the purpose of the inspection was?" Jiang Hui said.

"It is the mayor, and there may also be the deputy mayor, the relevant personnel of the Hai District Party Committee and District Government, etc., did not specify what the purpose of the inspection is, I guess it is our company's recent financing has caused a relatively large impact in the Internet industry, which has attracted everyone's attention," Tang said.

"No matter how much, we pay taxes normally, operate legally, and welcome leaders to inspect and guide at any time, it just so happens that the construction of our data center is in preparation, if the leaders give support, we can consider putting this billion investment in the imperial capital," Jiang Hui said.

"Then I'll reply to them, we can do it at any time, and welcome Mayor Wang to guide the work at any time?" said Tang.

"Okay, but you don't need too many people to know about this matter, there should be confidentiality and security requirements for ministerial-level leading cadres to travel, and we will cooperate with it, not to seek merit but to be without fault," Jiang Hui said.

"Okay, I'll let you tidy up the office a little bit, and I won't talk about anything else," Tang said.

……

Jiang Hui didn't feel strange about the leaders of the imperial capital city government coming to investigate. There is a nationally famous high-tech enterprise in his jurisdiction, which is still created by a school student, and the most important thing is that the company has just raised funds, and it is obvious that when additional investment is needed, it is normal for the competent leaders to inspect it.

However, what Jiang Hui didn't expect was that the leaders came to the company for the first time to inspect, and the level was so high, Jiang Hui originally thought that the leaders of the Zhongguancun Management Committee or the sea area would come to inspect first. However, whether it is the intranet of the school or the glorious game, the higher the level of the leading cadres who come to inspect, the better. The higher the level of leadership, the lower the possibility of the company being troubled in the future, and if you have any requirements, the degree of attention will be different.

The 10th to 20th floors of the Polytechnic Building have now been leased by Korn Ferry for the offices of its companies. Among them, the thirteenth floor is leased in advance, and now it has been renovated and can be used at any time, and the other floors are also under renovation, and the renderings have come out, Jiang Hui feels okay.

Since the city leaders are going to inspect this time, Jiang Hui thinks that he can make a fuss about putting the office area on the thirteenth floor into use, and hold a commissioning ceremony or something, and then let Mayor Wang attend the ceremony when he inspects it, and make a speech or something.

This Mayor Wang, Jiang Hui knew that he would become one of the Great Elders in the future, and when the time came, hanging the photo of him inspecting the company in a conspicuous place would probably discourage many bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods.

Although Imperial University of Technology is not a school directly under the municipal government, it often has to deal with the local government, so Jiang Hui asked He Ling to tell Dean He the news.
