Chapter 452 [Microsoft can't bear it]

Through the exchange with Cheng Jianhua, Luo Sheng roughly judged that the country had an idea and wanted to get this thing up.

And Cheng Jianhua came to find himself, obviously hoping that he could play a leading role as an industry leader.

It is not enough for the country to be determined, but also for the entire industry.

Because the replacement of the Internet protocol involves the entire industrial chain, and the entire industrial chain must wait and see each other, if this happens, it will inevitably slow down the pace of development.

The country is the country in the end, and the matter has not yet been done, and all aspects of the plan have been taken into account.

"No problem, Director Cheng, I am willing to contribute my own strength and influence to actively promote IPv6." Luo Sheng thought for a moment and gave the other party a definite answer.

Cheng Jianhua and his accompanying colleagues were also in high spirits when they saw Luo Sheng's statement, and immediately said: "Mr. Luo, the plan requires the 'Snowman Project' experimental project to build 25 root servers, and 1 primary root and 3 auxiliary roots are allocated in China, and we want the Cote d'Azur company to be able to undertake the operation of one of the auxiliary root servers. ”

It is worth mentioning that the operation of the root server is a voluntary operating unit.

Luo Sheng nodded: "It's not a big problem, but as an enterprise-led experimental project, it can't be said that there are 4 root servers in China, IPv6 really wants this experiment to be successful, and it can't just be up to me to make China, but also to win the support of more countries in the world." I don't think the technical problem is that difficult, as a root server, the first thing is to ensure its security, and the root server is not only a domain name resolution for China, but also for the world. ”

Cheng Jianhua agreed: "Yes, at this point, any root server must have such a responsibility. ”

Luo Sheng added: "The key is that if the current 13 root servers want to synchronize data with each other, the establishment of IPv6 root servers in the future, the data must also be synchronized between more than 20 root servers of IPv6 and the 13 root servers of IPv4. ”

"Before, I was worried that the root servers were all abroad, and foreign countries could collect these data, in fact, if we want to implement IPv6, people will have the same worries as us, you analyze these data, how can they ensure the security and privacy of their data, and solve the problem of trust must be considered to win more support from more countries in the world, and technical problems are not a big deal, too difficult things."

Cheng Jianhua and his colleagues who came with him looked at each other for a moment, Luo Sheng's words made them more confident, in the end, they are engaged in high-tech, and it is not a big deal to hear technical problems, which can be said to be very encouraging.

There is no doubt that in the following talks, the Cte d'Azur laboratory naturally took over the main role of the "Snowman Project" project, becoming the most core development center under its jurisdiction, and also received 1.2 billion yuan of national scientific research funding.

1.2 billion yuan is a lot of money, but it's also relatively speaking, and it's really a small amount of money for the Cte d'Azur company.

But one yard is one yard.

……

Entering April, when Luo Sheng was dealing with the arrangement of the "Snowman Project", the next-generation console war in the global game industry had unknowingly lasted for four months.

Microsoft Headquarters.

At this time, Don Matrick, president of Microsoft's interactive entertainment division, was in the CEO's office.

Microsoft President Ballmer said dissatisfiedly: "Don, your department has dragged down the overall performance of the company's first quarter, and your department lost $2.9 billion this quarter, but it has not curbed the expansion of ACC...... End this damn subsidy war, the company can't stand it anymore. ”

Ballmer really can't stand it, Microsoft's stock price has been sluggish recently, hovering between $210 billion and $220 billion, and he can imagine that once this earnings report is released, the stock price may have to plummet by about 6%.

The total market value of the Bluestar Technology Group next door has reached an unprecedented $1.53 trillion, which is equivalent to the total market value of 7 Microsofts, which is the rhythm of breaking out of the earth.

Faced with the dissatisfaction of his immediate boss, Don Matrick could only obediently shut up, his performance report was a terrible mess, and he didn't dare to speak too loudly.

In the case of the hot subsidy war between the two sides, the global sales of ACC consoles have reached 24.8 million units, and from the perspective of losses, the Cote d'Azur is even more loss-making.

Microsoft's interactive entertainment division lost $2.9 billion this quarter, and the entire console alliance to fight the rise of ACC lost $4.2 billion overall.

The Cote d'Azur has lost $5.5 billion during this time, and there are few bullets left in competitors, but Yao Jianhong is currently fighting with great strength.

The company's cash flow is lying in tens of billions of dollars, and last month it issued the latest round of 3A-rated corporate bonds on a large scale.

Ability to burn money?

At present, no group company on the earth dares to have the confidence to say that it can definitely beat Luo Sheng.

It turns out that money can really do that......

However, those third-party game developers made crazy money in this quarter, with revenues soaring and the company's stock skyrocketing.

has been sucked by the first party for a long time, and this time the first party fought with each other, bloodletting each other, and it all flowed into the pocket of the third party, which is really cool.

Don Matrick walked out of the CEO's office dejectedly, stood in the doorway and shook his head with a sigh and did not stop.

After returning to his office, he held a conference call with Sony and other allies, and finally agreed to end this damn money-burning war, and the landlord's family had no food left.

After the call, Don Matrick picked up the phone again to dial a number, but he gave up.

The next day, I took the first direct flight to China.

……

Côte d'Azur Headquarters, Starriver City Headquarters, Reception Room.

Don Matrick and Sony, Nintendo and other executives, a total of six or seven foreigners in this reception room, met them not Luo Sheng, but the company's No. 2 person, Yao Jianhong.

As for Luo Sheng, he is now busy with the scientific research team to climb science and technology, and he is not available.

Lao Yao knew that when competitors took the initiative to contact the door, it meant that they had already conceded defeat, and if they didn't accept it, the small money in their pockets was not allowed.

At this point, Don Matrick took the initiative to ask what he thought he was humiliated but had to say.

"Mr. Yao, how do you think this matter should end?"

Old Don felt too humiliated, but there was no way, Ballmer would not be transfused blood in his department, and his teammates were running out of ammunition and food, so he could only come over to sign a new contract for the "Lost Power and Humiliation Division".

Yao Jianhong tried to reply calmly in Luo Sheng's tone: "We don't want to fight, we are willing to make friends with partners all over the world, so the Cote d'Azur is willing to provide the 'Ark Compiler' technical solution for Xbox, and Sony has the most say in whether it is good or not." ”

After speaking, Lao Yao looked at Sony's global vice president here, and the other party didn't say a word.

It's really easy to use, and after getting the technical solution provided by the Côte d'Azur, the overall performance of Sony's PS3 has miraculously increased by about 27%.

After a moment, Yao Jianhong added: "The conditions of the Côte d'Azur are very simple, cancel the platform exclusivity of your exclusive best-selling masterpieces such as the Halo series and the Final Fantasy series, and that's it. ”

Don Matrick refused, "No, Mr. Yao, it's so unfair, unless the best-selling games exclusive to the ACC platform are also available to our consoles." ”

As industry insiders, they are well aware that the Côte d'Azur's intentions are to create a closed content ecosystem, because the size is large enough that once this clause is agreed, it will be impossible for a major game such as Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed to be available on consoles other than ACC.

What really scares them is that the third-party game developers acquired by Luo Sheng can be among the top ten third-party companies in the world, which means that more than half of the top ten are Luo Sheng's elite troops.

With this as the main body, and then co-opting other swinging third parties, ACC's content ecological advantages will become stronger and stronger, and eventually form the Matthew effect, where the strong will always be strong.

Other first parties will live in the shadow of the ACC and become a tool for the other party to circumvent antitrust.

It's like Intel is to AMD.

Supergiants such as Sony and Microsoft are also arrogant, how can they accept the humiliating position of being reduced to the other party's tool to circumvent anti-monopoly?

At this moment, Yao Jianhong saw that Don Matrick did not agree, and said decisively: "OK, since this is the case, there is no need to talk about it, let's continue to fight." ”
