153 Data Centers
The riverside is warm after the snow.
The warm sunlight shone in from the door of the hall, shining right on Chang Dong's body, and it seemed to coat him with a silver halo.
There was a quiet moment in the room.
Liu Wenze's eyes lit up slightly, he seemed to be in disbelief, and he seemed to be expectant, and asked, "What are you talking about?" β
Chang Dong asked, "Do you know about smart cities?" β
Liu Wenze said: "Of course, in 2010, China took smart cities as the frontier concept of the country's promotion of strategic new industries and urban informatization processes, and carried out exploration and practice, and 193 cities became smart city pilots in 13 years." β
Chang Dong was slightly surprised when he heard this.
When he came into contact with the concept of smart city, it was 18 or 19 years in his previous life, but he didn't expect the country to start the relevant strategy so early.
This forced him to change the wording.
"Has Linjiang become a pilot?"
"Nope." Liu Wenze shook his head regretfully, and said with a bright eye: "The project you thought of is not about smart cities?" β
"That's right!" Chang Dong generously admitted, and asked rhetorically: "By the way, although Linjiang has not become a pilot, this should not prevent us from developing in this direction, right?" β
Of course, this may be the mainstream development model in the future. It's just that it hasn't become a pilot, and there is no corresponding support and resources. What are your thoughts? β
Liu Wenze realized that the project that Chang Dong pondered was very likely to be in this regard.
Chang Dongdao: "Smart cities need technical support from digital cities, Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, etc., no matter how these technologies develop, they are inseparable from the transmission, acceleration, processing and even storage of data in the data center." β
"Any data center has extremely high requirements for heat dissipation, and my idea is that we can take advantage of Luohu to build a data center on Luohu Island, and use the constant temperature characteristics of deep lake water to cool and dissipate heat."
The more Chang Dong said, the more he felt that this idea was very feasible.
Any technology company that grows to a certain level must build its own data center. The reason is simple, at that point, it is difficult to rely on leasing to solve data processing and storage needs.
Not to mention other overall considerations such as data security, leasing costs, etc.?
Of course, in the choice of data center construction, everyone also has their own choices according to different conditions.
For example, Facebook's largest data center was built in LuleΓ₯, 70 kilometers from the Arctic Circle, and the purpose of this is to take advantage of the natural cold to cool down.
In fact, it was the right choice.
According to data released by Facebook, compared with traditional data centers, the efficiency of the LuleΓ₯ data center has increased by 10%, the energy consumption has decreased by 40%, and the backup motor has been reduced by 70%.
Behind each of these figures, the cost saved is in billions. The longer a data center is in operation, the greater the cost savings.
Therefore, the data centers of major technology giants are almost always built in cold places.
Some tech giants have even tried to set up data centers in the sea.
In the area of heat dissipation, it can be said that everything is used.
Of course, the extreme cold is not the only factor that needs to be considered, other factors such as avoiding seismic zones, preferential policies, fiber optic cable laying, peripheral hardware facilities, etc., are also a comprehensive consideration.
Changdong has the natural geographical advantage of Luohu, and then there is Liu Wenzeren and preferential treatment, coupled with the outbreak of investment in Internet companies in the future, if you think about it carefully, now is really an excellent time to build a data center.
This is tantamount to paving the way for his project in advance!
ββ¦β¦ Many of the Internet companies I have invested in are extremely dependent on data processing and storage, especially chopsticks, and now the number of users has exceeded 100 million, and there are hundreds of millions of short videos, which have extremely high requirements for storage, and the demand continues to increase. β
"In addition, once the construction of the data center is completed, it can not only be used for business, but also serve Linjiang and even surrounding cities, and promote the construction of a smart city!"
Chang Dong said a lot, basically what he thought of and said anything, anyway, he is not a professional, and the meaning is almost the same.
When he closed his mouth, there was silence in the room.
Everyone was almost dumbfounded.
Because to put it mildly, except for the people brought by Liu Wenze, the others almost didn't understand it at all, and many people were even stunned.
It feels like listening to a book from heaven, anyway, in the clouds, I probably know that it is related to the Internet, and it seems to be good for Linjiang.
But what the benefits are, one by one I don't know.
However, although everyone couldn't understand it, they still felt so powerful.
The eyes that looked at Chang Dong one by one became more and more admiring!
Well-behaved, worthy of being a college student.
It's no wonder that people make so much money at a young age, and this is like talking about heavenly books.
No wonder people can make a lot of money without much effort, they can only do coolies!
Liu Wenze was a little excited when he heard this.
His face flushed slightly, to be honest, he had prepared for the worst in today's forced palace.
As a result, he didn't expect that he would force the palace to be.
Sure enough, it's man-made!
"How much are you going to invest?" Liu Wenze asked the most vulgar question.
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly pricked up their ears one by one.
They don't understand the rest, but they can understand the money.
"It's not that I said that the investment is as much as it takes, it needs to be evaluated by a professional team, and the investment in data centers is endless, and the maximum scale of 100 billion yuan is a large number of people. So I pondered, when designing, leave a good space, invest about one billion yuan in the early stage, and then decide whether to invest more depending on the specific market situation. β
Chang Dong didn't say anything.
Since you have decided to lay out a data center, you must not build just one.
The truth of the three holes of the cunning rabbit is not only understood by Chang Dong, but also by major technology giants.
The most conventional model is "one point and three centers", so that the data of major data centers can be backed up at any time, and any data center problem will not cause a fatal blow to the company or even customers.
Therefore, it is impossible for Changdong to pile up the data center in Linjiang.
"Whew-"
"A billion?"
"Oh my God!"
Although Chang Dong didn't say all the words, what he said still shocked countless people in the room to gasp, if it weren't for Liu Wenze's presence, the scene would probably be boiling directly.
However, even if it didn't boil, everyone was shocked.
Chang's father's eyebrows fluttered.
The Fang family's relatives were shocked.
Fang Hongzhi, this old watch is really awesome, one mouth is one billion, I'm a good one, why does he have so much money?
Liu Wenze smacked his lips, to be honest, because there is Handong's 10 billion investment in front, and it can still solve the commercial call center where 10,000 people are in place, which makes him not too satisfied with Changdong's billion investment.
However, he also knew that the goal had basically been achieved, and at this time, forcing Chang Dong would only backfire.
simply accepted it when he saw it, and praised it: "I'll just say that our Chang Dong is a genius, see it, it's a billion big project with a slap of the brain, it's amazing!" Amazing! β
"Yes, yes!"
"That's right! What a genius! β
Everyone praised it.
"Where there is, what is there, what is falsely praised!" Chang Dong's face was full of shame, and he was humble again and again, and he had mixed feelings about Liu Wenze in his heart.
Although his forced palace made him restless and embarrassed, it also forced out his potential.
To be honest, because of the advantage of rebirth, Chang Dong had already analyzed his advantages and disadvantages, and he originally planned to be a salted fish and follow the trend to pick up money.
Now after Handong's tens of billions of investment and Liu Wenze's forced palace, he was stunned to find that he seemed to be pushed forward by a force!
Yes, it's running!
He dared to take out a loan to invest desperately because he was sure that he would be able to earn money in the future, so he dared to borrow!
Otherwise, who would dare to put this matter on ordinary people?
Thinking of this, Chang Dong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
