There are only a few computer animation studios in the United States, and they are a turnip and a pit.

DreamWorks is clutched tightly in his hands, Blue Sky Studios is the 21st Century Fox's prison, and Pixar is a complete curiosity for Disney. Moreover, Eisner has been in power for nearly 30 years, and his performance is brilliant, but he has also made many enemies.

He's just a senior worker with a bit of a dividend option, and he's not a big boss, so it's not up to the board of directors to get out?

Although he has nothing to do with Chen Bo, he is very happy to be this dog-headed military advisor, firstly, to help his friend vent this evil anger, but also to indirectly vent his dissatisfaction. If there is any, it is to help Chen Jinyu earn more inheritance, and when he turns around, Lao Qiao kicks his legs, and after he dies, he is not their brother and sister.

Under his active planning, Jobs directly informed the Disney board of directors to force the palace, either Eisner will roll the calf, or Pixar will switch to someone else. But will Pixar really move elsewhere? In terms of distribution and business development in the animation market, there is no better than Disney.

Even those giants are not good at this, and this is just to stimulate the Disney board of directors.

In order to vent his bad breath, Jobs, who was "small-bellied chicken intestines", even privately notified the media and began to coerce Eisner to take the initiative to leave class from public opinion. Needless to say, these are all from Chen Bo's advice, although they are not bad to the point of pus, this black belly is easy to do.

On the fourth day of the Sun Valley summit, it is a media reception day, and reporters are allowed to enter the venue for interviews, and everyone will be surrounded by a group of reporters who have been suffocated, although it is not as high-end as the Davos forum, but the influence of the people gathered here on the United States is definitely not small.

Chen Bo, who seems to be the most idle person, has also been sought after a lot, after all, the title of news maker is not for nothing, not to mention that there is a trust he arranged in advance.

"Microsoft's acquisition of Fox live? This is certainly true. Yes, but there are still many details that have not been negotiated, such as the offer that did not meet my psychological expectations, and you should ask Mr. Gates for the specific situation. ”

"What do I think of Oracle's acquisition of Sun? Of course, I'm going to see it live, because Ant Search has also made plans for this, and we're going to join forces with Oracle to launch an acquisition of it. ”

Chen Bo kept throwing depth charges, and Microsoft just pulled two rounds at the negotiating table, and neither side informed any media, and it was rare to maintain a tacit understanding. Why speak up now? Forcing the palace, it is profitable to stir up this matter, Microsoft is praised highly, and it can't go up or down.

The acquisition of Fox live is definitely big news and will indirectly cause the stock market to follow, but if you are going to fail, it will definitely not meet the expectations of investors, sorry, I can only sell.

Originally, Microsoft's stock market was relatively weak this year, so Ballmer announced the Golden Egg plan to stimulate the soaring stock price.

If you do it again, it will be enough to vomit blood, the reason why he didn't break the news in advance is that he has to lock the other party to the negotiating table before he can take the opportunity to exert his strength, although the time is still a little early, but he has other plans.

As for the leakage of Sun, on the one hand, it is to reduce the pressure on Ellison, and on the other hand, it is to give Gosling internal support. As an ally, you can't always pick peaches in the back, that's too inauthentic.

In the eyes of reporters, this is enough to attract attention, how can two acquisitions come out at once, how can people not be excited? There's enough material for the next few months.

"Why did you want to get involved in the acquisition of Sun?"

"Can you tell us the details?"

"How much do you plan to contribute?"

The reporters asked questions one after another, eagerly looking forward to the protagonist's answer.

"Technological advantages, Sun company put forward the bold idea that the network is a computer in 83 years, and now the technical team of Ant Search has made a new breakthrough." The corners of Chen Bo's mouth rose slightly, and he said confidently, "Foxmail relies on our technological changes in the server elastic storage system to provide users around the world with up to 10G of storage space. ”

"The network is the computer?" Everyone's hearts are puzzled, this concept was proposed very early, more than 20 years have passed, and it has long been drowned in a lot of information.

As we all know, computers are connected to each other through the network, but how can the network become a terminal? Can it do the math independently? How does it input and output commands?

"Yes, but I call it the cloud."

"Cloud?"

"We connect tens of thousands of servers into a whole through technical means, which is called 'cloud server'. Distributed computing is used to split large data and tasks into different blocks. This is an elastic range, when it is used, the fire is fully fired, and when it is not used, it is automatically reduced. Chen Bo gave another example, "As you can see, the Ant Satellite is composed of countless satellite images, which are not gigabytes of storage or terabytes, but can reach the data level of exabytes." We need to be more economical in server costs, including the world's search data, and store it on a 6-year cycle. ”

"I see." These reporters were also in a fog and it was difficult to understand it thoroughly for a while, "So what else can be done?" ”

"This friend asked very well how much could have been done. Of course, I can't say too much, after all, it's a trade secret, and who knows if you're sent by Microsoft? Chen Bo made a harmless joke and teased Gates by the way. This service will be widely used in the corporate sector, especially small and medium-sized startups. ”

"Exactly?"

"Let's do a simple calculation, a small company needs to process data no matter what industry it does. A small computer room requires 5 square meters of space, operation and maintenance for 2 people, seamless switching of electrostatic floor, UPS power supply, and constant temperature equipment, plus switches, servers and fiber optic broadband, the cost of a year in the United States is about 150,000 US dollars. ”

"Yes, that's the minimum."

"Then with our service, it can be done in 5 minutes. You only need to open the webpage to register, and choose your server standard according to your needs, and the storage space can be increased or decreased at any time, and the bandwidth can be freely chosen. Is traditional infrastructure still needed? Now, get rid of it all! ”

"What about the cost??"

"All the same things you need every month!" Chen Bo stretched out three fingers and said to the reporters who were gathering more and more.

"$3,000?" The reporters exclaimed that the cost of $36,000 that year was about 5 times that time.

"Wrong, it's $300!" Chen Bo loudly corrected his judgment and deliberately raised his tone: "Few startups can afford tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, which turns out countless young people with dreams." Well, now! Ant Search will provide more young people with a platform for their dreams, and it will be piloted at the University of Berkeley starting next month! ”

Only need 300 pieces? Oh, my God! I can't imagine it!

But any journalist in the tech sector knows that the difficulty of startups is not in people, but in the initial investment. The computer room has always been a big one, and the labor cost in the United States is high, and most of the $150,000 spent is used to pay for the operation and maintenance of the computer room. In China, you can make employees multi-functional, but in the United States, you can sue you to bankruptcy in minutes, which is no joke.

Not every idea will be willing to invest in you, and who can afford to pay that much out of their own pocket.

This is one of the simplest features of cloud computing, which is cloud storage. Of course, Chen Bo will not be stupid enough to put everything together, and now the global data center has not been deployed, and there are still many technical problems that have not been realized.

The future business services represented by cloud computing are not immediately effective in one or two years, but are still concept-based.

But whoever proposes it first, who is the first to officially commercialize it is undoubtedly to occupy the first opportunity, just like the arms race, Lao Tzu started to do it first, and if you don't keep up, you will fall behind. Forcing the opponent to follow up, in the case of insufficient preparation, the competitor will drag himself down.

The reason why the pilot project started at Berkeley University is because of the good cooperative relationship and the fact that the students here are more civilian. Stanford is more rich and handsome, on the contrary, so attractive.

Chen Bo was impassioned, like a speech, and as soon as the words fell, he stepped on the bicycle and ran away while the reporters were still reminiscing.

But one stone stirs up a thousand waves, and so much information always has to be digested by them one by one.

I thought that two acquisitions would be big news, but the vague concept of "cloud" is even more exciting. It's not hard to do a good job, but it's enough to break through tradition and find a new business model that will go down in history. This is also why Yang Zhiyuan, who created the modern Internet development model, has a higher status in the rivers and lakes, and a Yahoo is enough for him to blow for a lifetime.

Chen Bo ran away after pretending to be forced, but after suffering from these reporters, no matter how fast his legs were, he couldn't catch up with two wheels.

And the other parties are about to be depressed, Bizhe Gates is talking about public welfare and charity in front of reporters, and many unfamiliar faces suddenly appear to come over to grab the white, and when they figure out the reason, they can't help cursing the perpetrator in their hearts, but now they have to maintain his richest demeanor and face it with a smile.

"Uh, acquisition? Yes, it is...... Fox live would be a great addition and very strategic. ”

"Negotiations? is talking, there has been a breakthrough. ”

"Offer? Microsoft has a lot of cash flow, and the whole world knows that we are sincere and determined to win! ”

"The other party is not satisfied? No, no, no. It's just a little disagreement, the price issue is never a constraint on Microsoft, and there are many details that need to be communicated one by one at the negotiating table. You have to know that a case of this magnitude cannot be sold as immediately as in the wet market. ”

Bill Gates was tired of dealing with all kinds of difficult questions from reporters, and if he was just cursing in his heart just now, now his thoughts are to strangle him to death.
