Chapter 38: I Know What You're Thinking
Why are the three major portals and Alibaba, after visiting the data center, willing to join, or even eager to join the data center?
Looking at it a little earlier, why did Zhao Zejun agree without hesitation as soon as he proposed to build a data center and study big data, and were willing to throw money into it every year, and even planned not to produce any results within five years? Of course, at present, there have been certain results in only about two years. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the end of the day, it's because big data is so important.
What exactly is big data?
From the perspective of the industry, simply put, this is the most valuable wealth that the Internet can provide to practitioners, and it is an important means to master the Internet and develop the Internet in depth, and it is also the trend of the Internet in the future, and it can even be said to be the cornerstone.
Data is the foundation of the existence of the Internet, so big data through the process of collection, analysis, mining, modeling, etc., is the 'cornerstone' of the Internet building.
It's just the research and development of various applications and marketing, but that's just the surface. If you want to always stand at the top of the ecological chain of the Internet industry in the future and fundamentally grasp the Internet, you cannot do without the study of data, that is, big data.
The role of big data has only been widely accepted after a few years in history, and both the three giants of BAT and the three major portals have spent a lot of energy on it.
In this life, Zhao Zejun used the data center to make the importance of big data recognized by these people a few years in advance.
Joining the data center is to obtain its research results, but also for its own enterprise, always standing at the highest place and forefront of the Internet.
If search engines, blogs, and QQ are the engines of traffic, then big data is the engine of the future Internet, at least in some aspects.
The so-called Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and Internet service industries all need the support of big data, and various cloud technologies are even based on relying entirely on big data.
If the surrounding countries have entered the era of hot weapons, and a certain big country is still stuck in the sword, gun, sword, and halberd, no matter how large the size, it will quickly decline and be blasted away.
This is the reason why the three major portals are willing to spend 'threshold fees' to enter the data center, and at the same time, it is the reason why Baidu Zelianke Tencent does not want to see other data centers in China.
Baidu, Zelianke and Tencent have joined forces to suppress the emergence of other data centers, and if the three major portals and Alibaba join, the data center will completely establish a unique position and will not be challenged in any way.
The core resources are always in the hands of this small group of people, and the follow-up can only work for this small group of people. The stronger the stronger, the class of the Internet world will gradually solidify.
Of course, this is an out-and-out monopoly.
But the monopoly of science and technology is not illegal.
"It's not illegal to speak, so I'll say a few more words. Zhao Zejun smiled.
Baidu Mr. Li and Tencent Mr. Ma listened a little dazed on the side, Zhao Zejun's speaking style today was quite a bit fantasy, which made them think of Gu Long.
Could it be because he wants one against three, and the three in China can definitely be regarded as a bull Internet strongman, so he forcibly broke through and entered the fantasy realm that surpasses ordinary people?
Well, since it's up to him, I'll listen to him.
Let's see how he convinces the big three portals to enjoy only 'partial power'.
If Zhao Zejun can really convince the other party, this is of course the best.
Data center, the three of them can enjoy complete rights, and the three major portals can only enjoy part of the rights, which means that the benefits of big data, Baidu, Zelianke and Tencent are the biggest profiteers, in the Internet ecological level, to be half a level higher than the three major portals, at the real peak.
Otherwise, for the sake of tens of millions, all the results of the data center will be exchanged...... Whether it is Baidu Tencent or Zhao Zejun, they are all a little heartbroken.
Especially Zhao Zejun, he knows that the competitiveness of the three major portals in the future is really not as good as the three giants of BAT.
The heads of the three major portals also want to hear what Zhao Zejun has to say and how to talk about it in order to convince them.
The purpose of joining the data center is to join the 'big data club' and maintain the top position of the Internet ecosystem.
After going around in a circle, the problem seems to be back to square one: you get what you pay for, and if you don't want to give shares, you can't get what you really want.
"So let's talk about your rights. ”
Zhao Zejun said unhurriedly: "First, the three are all portals, so portal-related, including news, mailbox and a series of business, big data-related achievements, can be enjoyed." ”
Zhang Chaoyang's eyes drooped slightly, and then he looked at Zhao Zejun, as if he wanted to say something.
Cao Guowei, who was the most silent among the three, suddenly interrupted Zhang Chaoyang, smiled, and said, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhao hasn't finished talking yet." There is a first, and naturally there is a second. The second half of the sentence was said by looking at Zhao Zejun.
Zhang Chaoyang temporarily suppressed his words and looked at Ding Lei, Ding Lei also nodded, showing a very sincere smile: "I hope that Mr. Zhao can come up with more exciting conditions." If it's just about the portal, the three of us can do it in-house, and we don't have to use the name of the data center, after all, we have a huge database of our own. ”
"Whether you move your heart or not, it depends on where your heart is. For a hungry person, a piece of meat can make him tempted, and for a cold person, a bedding can make him tempted. Zhao Zejun smiled, "I hope what I say next is exactly what you want." ”
"Mr. Zhao, please say, we listen to you. ”
The eyes of the five people in the room were all focused on Zhao Zejun.
The three major portals can't guess what else Zhao Zejun can give, and Baidu and Tencent are also unclear.
What conditions are enough to make the three major portals tempted at the same time, and not to shake the dominant position of Baidu, Zelianke and Tencent in the data center?
Zhao Zejun pondered for a moment and finally spoke.
NetEase, Sohu, Sina, the three CEOs, from left to right, sat in a row in front of Zhao Zejun.
Zhao Zejun's eyes and words were also in this order.
"Mr. Ding, NetEase can get all game-related big data resources, Zelianke also has a game project department, but it is not the main business, I can guarantee that NetEase will get more in games than Zelianke, including large-scale online games, web games, client stand-alone games and a series of resources. ”
Ding Lei's expression suddenly straightened.
NetEase is a web portal, but since the last Internet bubble, it has vaguely begun a major transformation, gradually developing the online game market, and focusing on online games.
Since last year, NetEase, the portal's share of all profits, has exceeded 50%.
In the future blueprint of Ding Lei and NetEase's senior management, games are NetEase's biggest card and the most important development direction!
Zhao Zejun nodded and smiled at Ding Lei before continuing: "Among them, there are not only NetEase's own development agents, but also those of other companies, such as World of Warcraft, such as StarCraft, popular online games on the Internet, and user big data that can be collected in the data center will be open to NetEase, and even NetEase can specify the collection target information." ”
Ding Lei's eyes lit up visibly.
"I think, coupled with the alliance of Baidu, Zelianke, and Tencent, Jiucheng, the price that Shanda is willing to pay must be more than just money. Zhao Zejun smiled gently, but his words were not polite at all: "Of course, the data scope that these companies can provide is too narrow, and if they join the data center, I may ask for more than 30% of their shares." ”
For NetEase, Sina or Sohu are actually not the biggest competitors, because Ding Lei's eyes are on online games, so Jiucheng and Shanda are currently NetEase's biggest enemies.
Ding Lei said directly: "Mr. Zhao, I accept your conditions." ”
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Ding. Zhao Zejun nodded, his eyes fell on Sohu's Zhang Chaoyang's face, "Sohu, if you are interested in music, video and other online entertainment careers, the data center can provide comprehensive support in this regard." ”
Zhang Chaoyang was silent for a moment, looked at Tencent's Mr. Ma, and asked Zhao Zejun and Ma Huateng: "Tencent also has its own music player, and it is involved in the online entertainment industry, won't there be a conflict?"
Successfully won NetEase, which made Ma Huateng and Li Yanhong's confidence in Zhao Zejun to a higher level, and Mr. Ma nodded to Zhao Zejun and signaled that he could represent at this time.
"Yes, I mentioned that I don't want competition, and that's at the research level of the data center. But at the application level, competition is inevitable. No matter how Zelianke, Baidu and Tencent are, it is impossible to prohibit all peer competition, such as games, Zelianke has a game industry, Tencent has, NetEase also has, I do a blog, Tencent has space, Baidu has a post bar. But this competition is only on one level, and not the essential conflict between the two companies. Mr. Ma, I think that's what you mean, right?"
Ma Huateng finally spoke for the first time and said with a smile: "Of course, local competition will bring vitality. ”
Baidu Mr. Li also nodded slightly.
On the surface, they are very calm, but in the hearts of Ma Huateng and Li Yanhong, they are extremely surprised.
Judging from Zhang Chaoyang's expression, he was tempted.
Obviously, Zhao Zejun took Zhang Chaoyang's pulse and gave him what he wanted the most.
But how does he know that Sohu is ready to make efforts in the Internet audio, video and other entertainment industries?
How can you say that Netease Ding Lei's favorite thing is games?
Can he really guess people's hearts and see what the other party wants?
"Mr. Zhang, what do you think?" asked Zhao Zejun.
"Nothing more?" Mr. Zhang said.
"Nope. If that's not enough, there's no better way for me. Smiled, "Fortunately, in the area of Internet entertainment, I, Baidu, and Tencent are all very interested, if you don't want it, the three of us might as well try the water." ”
"Let me explore the path first. Zhang Chaoyang smiled, "I accept it." ”
After getting the two done, Sina Cao Guowei's eyes took the initiative to look at Zhao Zejun, and it was Sina's turn.
"Mr. Cao, the conditions that can be given to Sina are not the same. Zhao Zejun said.
