The meeting was still ongoing, and Zhang Bowen looked at Luo Sheng: "Mr. Luo, do you want to set up a wholly-owned subsidiary to independently operate the big data and cloud computing service sectors?" ”

Luo Sheng shook his head and said: "This is not needed, it is directly done by the parent company, the existing subsidiaries will need a large number of data resources in the future, which can be integrated and distributed by the parent company, optimize the allocation of resources, and the core business of the parent company in the future is big data and cloud computing services." ”

Zhang Bowen nodded, and after a while, he couldn't help but smile: "It seems that Mr. Luo has already started to arrange, and of the $5.6 billion raised in this IPO, only $1 billion was brought back to China, and the other $4.6 billion was offshore." ”

"The biggest purpose of the company's IPO financing is to build data centers on a global scale, otherwise it would not have raised so much money this time, let alone a second or third financing."

Luo Sheng said.

His logical thinking is very agile, and he usually speaks very quickly, but in today's high-level internal high-level executive meeting, he lowered his speed for the first time and patiently talked about cloud computing services for everyone.

Fortunately, I have been working with Luo Sheng for a few years, everyone has adapted, and the ability of the people sitting here now is not bad, and the bad debt has been brushed off in recent years.

Although these concepts are heard for the first time, they are now clearly organized.

The most difficult thing about what Luo Sheng said was that Feng Yi and they were still easy to confuse data centers, cloud computing data centers, and big data, and unconsciously regarded these three as the same products or concepts.

After Luo Sheng spent more than an hour repeatedly and patiently explaining, everyone was able to sort out the relationship between the three.

It may seem confusing, but there is a significant difference.

The data center computer room is a complete set of complex hardware facilities, while cloud computing is a kind of information public resource, and big data is an application scenario in the context of the Internet, including the application scenarios in the future mobile Internet and the Internet of Things.

The relationship between the three is closely linked and intersects with each other, and various applications generate huge amounts of data that need to be processed and analyzed to mine valuable information.

Cloud computing is a technical solution that can be used to solve the needs of a series of IT infrastructures such as computers, storage, databases, etc.

There is no doubt that big data is a very important application scenario of cloud computing, and cloud computing provides the best technical solutions for big data processing and data mining.

But all this must rely on the existence of data centers to achieve landing, data centers play the role of infrastructure, is the root of cloud computing.

Cloud computing is the "leaf" of the data center, which promotes the development of the data center through "photosynthesis", and the data center is thus expanded, which will feed back the development of cloud computing and provide a solid foundation for it.

These three have different divisions of labor and different levels, but they are interdependent and mutually reinforcing.

It's a bit winding, and it's no wonder it's confusing.

"If you want to play with cloud computing services, you must be ready to embark on the road of no return to 'krypton gold'." Luo Sheng said with a smile.

"Krypton?"

Everyone spoke in unison, looking at each other, and they all saw the doubts and incomprehension in their eyes.

Luo Sheng was also stunned for a while, reacted quickly, and said with a smile: "The subculture vocabulary in the circle of gamers means that you can become stronger by charging money." To put it simply, it is necessary to prepare for a super-large-scale capital investment, and the time will not be short, but it must be continued. ”

Feng Yi said jokingly: "Boss, co-managing two companies, can you still have free time to play games?" ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

But obviously a little suspicious, Luo Sheng has no less than five or six meetings a day, and sometimes he has more than a dozen meetings a day.

He doesn't have to do it himself, he usually makes decisions.

But even if you make a decision, it's not one or two, and it's divided into different business segments, and it takes a lot of time to just make a decision and say that you need to think.

I have to say that this is not something that ordinary people are capable of.

There is no octa-core level brain that really can't be turned, and ordinary people would have been dizzy a long time ago, let alone make the most effective judgment and make decisions quickly and efficiently.

After the episode, Luo Sheng took a sip of water, then got up from the director's chair and came to a wall in the conference room under the gaze of everyone.

There was a large whiteboard on it.

He found a map of the world, and when an executive saw this, he immediately got up to help, and it took a short time to fix the world map with a whiteboard magnet.

"The specific blueprint is extremely clear in my mind, I hate PPT, and I take good notes and make key points." Luo Sheng said a word after he got it, and then found ten red whiteboard magnets, placed them in ten positions on this world map, and returned to the chairman's chair after getting these done.

Xu Yong and others attending the meeting unanimously looked at the ten signs on the map, each of which was marked by a country or region, namely: China, Singapore, Australia, Brazil, Western Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Russia.

Luo Sheng leaned back in the swivel chair and looked at the map on the whiteboard, and said leisurely: "This goal is a long-term long-term plan, from this year to 2016, about ten years." Bluestar Technology Group aims to build at least 165 large-scale data centers in more than 10 countries and 18 urban locations around the world. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng looked at the ten signs on the map and paused for a moment, his brain was running rapidly, and after a while, he added: "165 data centers are distributed in these 18 cities, these cities are Sioux City, Phoenix City, Lin City, and the capital city in China. Northern Virginia, Seattle, Gulf of California, Northeast Oregon, Dublin, Luxembourg, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Osaka, Singapore, Sydney, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Moscow abroad. ”

When Luo Sheng made an orderly statement, all the executives attending the meeting, Xu Yongcheng, Zhang Bowen, and Feng Yi, were all dumbfounded.

Luo Sheng continued: "In addition, the average storage scale of each of the 165 data centers should reach 6,000 petabytes, which is 6.14 million terabytes of data. ”

After the words fell, the conference room was quiet for a while, and Zhang Bowen finally couldn't help but say: "My God, Mr. Luo, are you sure this is not a joke?" ”

Luo Sheng said without hesitation: "Nonsense, do you think I'm joking?" By 2020, we must have at least 200 data centers around the world. ”

Xu Yong stared at his fingers and broke blindly, he was a data emperor, and his mental arithmetic ability was also very strong, so he immediately began to think about it and muttered to himself, and the whole audience listened to him talk to himself:

"With 200 data centers, at a scale of 6,000 petabytes, one data center needs about 160,000 sets of servers. If you use 8TB×18 storage servers, there are about 42,700 storage servers, if the cost of each hard disk is 2,000 yuan, each server is 10,000 yuan, the hardware cost of a data center will cost 1.96 billion yuan, not counting the venue fees such as computer rooms, then about 2 billion yuan. ”

"At this scale, the data center consumes 64,000 kWh of electricity per hour, which is about 251 million yuan in electricity bills in a year according to the current commercial electricity standard of 0.45 yuan/kWh in Sioux City."

"In order to provide cloud services, we also need to pay about 100,000 yuan/Gb/month to broadband operators for private line access, and about 400 million yuan per year based on the average egress bandwidth of 330Gb."

That is to say, in a year, the total cost of electricity, network costs, labor costs, and operation and maintenance is 700 million. Excluding regions and exchange rate changes, multiplying by 200 yuan will result in a budget of ¥140 billion in operating expenses over the course of a year. In addition, the cost of building 200 data centers will cost an additional 400 billion yuan...... I need a quick-acting heart pill~~"

As he spoke, Xu Yong's expression became more and more exaggerated.

The other people at the meeting couldn't help laughing, but they also secretly smacked their lips when they heard his data, although it was not accurate, but when it came to such a large number, it was not far from ten, and in the face of such a huge base, the difference between hundreds of millions more and hundreds of millions less could also be ignored.

No wonder the boss will say that he wants "krypton gold", no wonder he will say that IBM will be pleasantly surprised and eager to offer Bluestar Technology Group as a god of wealth.

Luo Sheng still said lightly: "You are calculated according to ten or fifteen years later, I guarantee that by that time, the annual revenue of Bluestar Technology Group has exceeded 100 billion dollars, so the investment is very large, but don't panic, we will make more and more money." ”

Hearing this, everyone felt that the boss was simply the rhythm of Chiguoguo's painting of flatbread for them.

But I don't know why, everyone thinks that although this cake can't be seen or touched, it can inexplicably smell the fragrance, which makes people have goosebumps all over the body, and their hearts can't help boiling.
