Chapter 179 [Google's Internal Decision [900 Monthly Pass Plus Update]]
The biggest purpose of participating in this forum is that Luo Sheng hopes to promote the concept of cloud computing through his current influence in the industry.
At present, there are really not many players in China who can afford to play cloud computing services, and there are only four of them, unless the national team enters, but this is most likely unlikely.
Judging from the situation at the symposium, in the early stage of development and development of cloud computing services, in addition to the first Bluestar Technology Group to eat crabs, the second to catch up with is probably only Ahri's probability.
This does not seem to have changed much from Luo Sheng's previous life.
……
When Luo Sheng left for the company that night, some people in the Western Hemisphere during the day were also paying attention to the IT Leaders Summit Forum in Pengcheng.
And the people who pay attention are also very big, because Luo Sheng's participation has aroused the curiosity of many people in Silicon Valley, and his influence in Silicon Valley should not be underestimated.
Google Headquarters.
Generally speaking, when it comes to a famous company, the first impression is often that it is the founder of the company, just like Steve Jobs is to Apple, Luo Sheng is to Bluestar Technology, Ma is to Ahri, and so on.
But when it comes to Google, the first impression comes of Larry Page or Sergey Brin, the two co-founders.
It's the name Eric Schmidt.
Eric Schmidt, now 51, is the current head of Google, with a legendary life experience, a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Princeton University and a doctorate in computer science from the University of California, Berkeley.
Before joining Google to take the helm of this star company in the IT world, he also worked at Bell Labs, which gave birth to 11 Nobel Prizes in physics, using Java as a market weapon to help Sun Microsystems develop rapidly, saving Novell, a network system company, from the brink of life and death.
Larry Page took a lot of effort to bring the big guy to Google, and after joining the young Google, it took just two years to quickly expand the Silicon Valley technology company with only 200 employees to more than 1,000 people, and in the process of expansion, he did not lose Google's philosophy, and always maintained the level of product quality.
In Luo Sheng's previous life, Android was also born when Eric Schmidt was at the helm of Google.
With a resume at Sun Microsystems, Eric Schmidt has a great relationship with cloud computing services, and the concept of Cloud Computing was actually the first to be put forward by Luo Sheng.
It's just in this era, in this world.
Luo Sheng robbed his way, leaving others with no way out.
Despite this, it made Eric Schmidt pay more attention to cloud computing, and Luo Sheng's speech and a symposium at the Pengcheng IT Summit Forum yesterday paid the attention of the then head of Google for the first time.
In fact, when Bluestar Technology Group announced that it would spend $5.6 billion to build 12 large data centers, Eric Schmidt was already paying attention.
At this time, Google's internal core was in a meeting, with Eric Schmidt, Larry Page and Sergey Brin in attendance, discussing the company's recent performance and the pressure from Bluestar Technology.
But the real heart of today's conference is the discussion of cloud computing.
"Strictly speaking, Amazon was the first to launch related services, and Jeff launched the elastic computing cloud service in March." Sergey Brin said.
"Compared with the huge investment of $5.6 billion from Bluestar Technology Group, Amazon's scale is too small, as small as ...... All in all too small. Larry Page also spoke.
The core managers at the conference have already watched Luo Sheng's speech and the views on cloud computing at the symposium, although they basically can't understand it, but there are professional translators who have processed the video.
At this time, the elder Eric Schmidt spoke seriously: "Luo Sheng, who is at the helm of the Blue Star Group, is a figure that should not be underestimated, of course, today, it is impossible for Silicon Valley to underestimate this technology giant from the other side of the ocean, but I didn't expect him to know so much about cloud computing, and so unswervingly invest heavily in this field." ”
Luo Sheng was the first to put forward the concept of cloud computing, which is called cloud computing in China, and [Cloud Computing] in Silicon Valley.
"What do you think about cloud computing? Eric. Larry Page asked, looking at the other person.
At Google, I'm afraid no one has a better say in the field of cloud computing than Eric Schmidt, who thought about it for a while before making a statement.
"I agree with Luo Sheng's cloud computing concept, from the cloud computing he described, this is a new computing method formed by the combination of a variety of existing computer technologies and methods, which vividly shows the goal of shifting from client computers to cloud computing, or from autonomous computing to on-demand elastic computing."
Schmidt looked at the audience and continued: "The cloud decouples application and information resources from the underlying infrastructure and mechanisms used to host them, and the cloud also strengthens writing, agility, scalability, and availability. The ability to reduce the overall cost of ownership for the IT community through optimized, more efficient computing resources could be a revolutionary shift for the entire IT community and the Internet. ”
Page leaned back in the boss's chair and held his mouth with one hand, and said in a deep voice: "According to this logic, more specifically, the cloud, which describes the use of services, applications, information, and infrastructure composed of computing, network, information, and storage that Luo Sheng called 'resource pool'?" ”
Schmidt nodded affirmatively: "Yes, these components can be services, applications, or infrastructure, etc., which can be quickly planned, prepared, deployed, and recycled, and can be quickly scaled up or down, providing an on-demand, utility-like allocation and consumption model." ”
Sergey Brin then also spoke: "So, Bluestar Technology Group may invest more money to build more hyperscale data centers? Far more than 12? ”
Schmidt nodded again: "That's right, far more than that, the number of Internet users is continuing to skyrocket, and the data will skyrocket accordingly." ”
One of the VPs in attendance said, "So is Google going to get into this space?" ”
Another participant went on to speak: "The concept of cloud computing has come out in the era of Sun, and it is still like this after so many years, if it is still like this in another decade or two, I am afraid that it will be useless to invest in it, and the Bluestar Group is really crazy, if it is not for the first quarterly report to turn the tide, I am afraid that it is not as good as Yahoo now." ”
Eric Schmidt couldn't help but look at the executive who spoke: "Is Yahoo so can't help but beat in your eyes?" Although it has declined, it is now a technology company with a market value of 50 billion, and it still has the appearance of a giant. ”
The speaker shrugged.
At this time, Larry Page said: "I very much agree with Luo Sheng's sentence, the cost of trial and error is far less than the cost of making mistakes, and Google must enter the field of cloud computing." ”
Most of Google's executives at the meeting couldn't help but nod, this is more profound in Google, Yahoo's rejection of Google is a big mistake, resulting in now facing a severe existential crisis, if Yahoo accepted Google, today may be a technology giant on an equal footing with Microsoft, even if Google does not succeed, the cost of trial and error, compared with what Yahoo is now losing, it is not worth mentioning at all.
It hurts even to see it.
Page's words undoubtedly set a tone, Google must have entered the field of cloud computing, and now in this field, Amazon is doing it, but the scale is relatively small, Amazon's size is there, and even if Jeff Bezos wants to attack all in now, that's it.
The second player is Bluestar Technology Group, which is Luo Sheng.
Although it is one step slower than Amazon, it is actually about a month behind, which can really be ignored, and what cannot be ignored is the scale of Bluestar Technology's investment.
The scale of the investment is terrifying, almost 15 times that of Amazon's elastic computing cloud service launched in March.
Page continued: "I don't know where Mr. Luo Sheng's confidence lies, but Google obviously can't be so aggressive, and the risks are too great. ”
There is no way, plus Google's performance this year is not as expected, and the stock price has plummeted.
When Luo Sheng announced his big entry into the field of cloud computing, the market value of Bluestar Technology Group continued to dive, and if it were not for the extremely bright first quarter report, I am afraid it would be difficult to pull back and hit a new high.
The rise of Bluestar Technology has robbed many of Google's advertisers, which is an indisputable fact, and the performance is not as good as expected is the best proof of this.
At this time, if you play like Luo Sheng, maybe Google's market is worth falling below the 100 billion mark, and even being overtaken by the back of Bluestar Technology, you must know that the current market value of Bluestar Technology is second only to Google among technology companies, and the difference between the two is nearly 30 billion US dollars, which is not a small gap, but it can't stand the momentum of Bluestar Technology.
The key is that Google has its last financing this year, and it was split three times at the time of the IPO, and Luo Sheng is learning Google's operation, so now Google does not dare to gamble on cloud computing services as desperately as Luo Sheng.
Schmidt concluded: "Then $500 million to make sure Google doesn't miss out on cloud computing if it does explode." ”
Everyone nodded, this is the best strategy for Google, first occupy a pit to see the situation, Luo Sheng was the first to eat crabs, Bluestar Technology crossed the river by feeling the stones, then Google had better temporarily touch the Bluestar Technology to cross the river, and follow Luo Sheng's ass to see the situation.
Anyway, someone is exploring the way ahead, why not?
If the situation in the river is roughly figured out, there will be no worries, and if there is a future, then follow up and invest in a big way, and if Luo Sheng suffers in front, he will quickly retreat.
This decision was quickly passed by a resolution of Google's core layers.
