Zhang Bowen complained in his heart, and after a while, Samuel Pamisano looked at the other party and added, "Your company is planning to be in the cloud...... Oh yes, cloud computing is making a big difference, and this shouldn't be the final investment scale, right? ”

Strange to say, Pamisano is a little puzzled, why do Luo Sheng and Jeff Bezos favor cloud computing so much?

Amazon also said that in the past, but Bluestar Technology came up to play so big, obviously because it was extremely convinced that this concept that had been born for nearly 20 years was promising.

The question is, what was a concept more than 20 years ago is still like that now, is it really promising?

In case it is still a bird in 20 years, most of the Bluestar Technology Group will cry to death.

Such a big investment in an area that is not yet clear is crazy to look at.

But what does Samuel Pamisano think it has to do with IBM? Rich don't make bastards.

Zhang Bowen said with a smile: "To be honest, it is indeed not the final investment, in the future, we will continue to invest in building data centers, at least five to ten years or even longer, with an average annual investment of the same scale." ”

Oh, my God!!

When Samuel Pamisano heard this, his whole body was stunned.

Ten years of continuous investment, doesn't that mean that Bluestar Technology Group intends to invest here, if IBM can become its partner, can earn more than 30 billion US dollars from this company?

At this moment, Samuel Pamisano looked at Zhang Bowen who was smiling, the CEO of IBM, his heart was pounding at the moment, but he was still very calm on the surface.

"Are you sure this is really not a joke?"

Samuel Pamisano couldn't help but ask again, wanting to confirm again.

"It's true, we can sign a strategic agreement, $3 billion in liquidated damages." Zhang Bowen once again responded with a very affirmative response, when he came to talk to IBM, Luo Sheng confessed, boldly signed with the other party, Bluestar Technology is not afraid, on the contrary, after five to ten years, the North American authorities will be thankful that they do not interfere.

At that time, IBM was the defaulter.

Sign!

Must sign!

At this moment, Samuel Pamisano roared in his heart, this company is too crazy to refuse, Madefaq.

The emergence of large-scale data centers has undoubtedly given IBM an opportunity, and Samuel Pamisano is really eager to supply Luo Sheng with such a demand.

However, it is not for nothing that Bluestar Technology Group revealed some major strategic layouts to the other party, naturally in order to make IBM pay more attention to and care about this cooperation, and Bluestar Technology can also talk about other conditions.

After a while, Zhang Bowen said: "This is a very large cooperation project, IBM must cooperate with the relevant cooperation of Bluestar Technology Group, once this contract is signed, the two sides will start to promote cloud computing services on North American university campuses, including Berkeley, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Harvard University, Cambridge University, Oxford University, Göttingen University, etc., in a month." ”

As for universities and institutions in the mainland, there is no need for IBM to participate.

"The purpose of this is that we hope to reduce the cost of distributed computing in academic research, and we can provide these universities with relevant hardware and software equipment and technical support, including a large number of personal computers, support for open source platforms such as Linux, Xen, Hadoop, etc., and students can develop various large-scale computing-based research projects through the network, and we can provide corresponding funding," Zhang added. ”

Zhang Bowen added: "Our regional influence is relatively weak, and Bluestar Technology has no much basis in North America, so as a long-term strategic partner, IBM has to settle some obstacles in the market." ”

In the end, Samuel Pamisano nodded without hesitation, and responded: "No problem, all right, and it should be, after all, if your company is carried out smoothly, IBM can reap more orders and profits, so ...... Let's talk about the specific signing. ”

……

Zhang Bowen stayed at IBM for three days, and even though the contract was fully prepared when he came, he had to be cautious when it was actually signed.

This is true for Bluestar Technology, and it is also true for IBM.

After all, this is not a small number.

If something goes wrong, either side will break their bones.

However, Bluestar Technology is not a vegetarian in the end, and its legal team has a strong lineup.

Finally, the strategic cooperation agreement was successfully signed on April 6, and IBM held a temporary media conference on the same day to officially disclose some of the content of the cooperation to the outside world.

The specific cooperation was not disclosed, mainly the contract matters related to the first batch of purchase orders of Bluestar Technology Group.

Worth $3.052 billion, 2.07 million servers were purchased.

Zhang Bowen and IBM head Samuel Pamisano were both present at the conference.

……

On the afternoon of April 8, the headquarters of the Cote d'Azur.

"You've already made a splash in March, and you've just entered April and you've stolen the world's headlines." Qin Weimu came to Luo Sheng's office, and by the way, he also brought a paper newspaper that was still on the other party's desk.

This is a report of financial news, Luo Sheng picked it up and glanced at it, and the headline on the front page was the relevant news of Bluestar Technology Group.

[Luo Sheng proposed the concept of "cloud computing"? Bluestar Technology Group officially announced that it has reached a strategic cooperation with IBM and officially signed a server contract worth $3.052 billion to build a large-scale data center, which is the first big move since the IPO of Bluestar Technology. 】

[But the market is not optimistic, as soon as the news is disclosed, Bluestar Technology shares fell in response, falling 3.59% on the same day, $2.8 billion evaporated, equivalent to ¥22.5 billion.] On April 7, Bluestar Technology closed with a total market value of $75 billion, once again overtaken by Apple, which has a market value of $75.3 billion. 】

Luo Sheng looked at it for a while, threw the newspaper aside, looked at Qin Weimu and said, "Has the offshore trust fund been done?" ”

Qin Weimu nodded: "Well, at present, 1.032 billion US dollars have been transferred to the offshore fund, all of which are cash flow, and they are all cash flow at present, and they are preparing to buy Blue Star Technology shares." ”

Hearing this, Luo Sheng snapped his fingers and immediately said: "Don't worry, let the stock fall for a while, and then buy it then." ”

Qin Weimu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, while Luo Sheng muttered to himself, "It's ...... On the 16th, yes, on the 16th, I started to buy, all of them were bought, the statements for the first quarter of this year have been released, and they have not yet been announced, and the 17th or 18th will be officially disclosed, and it may be a different landscape at that time. ”

Hearing this, Qin Weimu nodded: "Okay, I know." ”

For the fluctuation of the company's market value, Luo Sheng is not worried at all, but it is a good thing, taking advantage of this decline to be able to buy a little more.

What is the situation of the company, and who else knows better than him?

Qin Weimu went to deal with the affairs, Luo Sheng picked up the newspaper again and looked at the follow-up content, the head of IBM was in favor of cloud computing, and praised Bluestar Technology for building a data center as a visionary thing.

When Luo Sheng saw this paragraph in the article, he didn't believe the nonsense of Samuel Pamisano, a bad old man.

This is definitely not what he really thought in his heart at that time, or even against his will, but such a large order contract, as a partner, is also related to IBM's profits, so he naturally jumped out to promote the concept of big data and cloud computing services for the Bluestar Technology platform.

In fact, IBM itself is still a little confused, cloud computing is definitely feasible, but if it takes a long, long time to achieve, in other words, there are no realistic conditions, as a company, to consider the reality.

But Samuel Pamisano doesn't care about this, just let the internal people discuss the topic while doing it, blow it up in the outside world first, and then talk about the money in front of you, this is a real and visible profit.

As for being slapped in the face in the end, a slap in the face will be a slap in the face, anyway, it is a fact that IBM has made a lot of money.
