Chapter 252: Data Center, Sister Mao is Shocking! (Ask for subscription)
Duan Anliang finally understood why the boss always called Zhu Shunwei Boss, Duan Anliang had been puzzled, and now he finally solved the case.
While Duan Anliang was thinking, Zhu Shunwei had already started his work report.
In the past two months, Douyin's user growth has been very fast, but the growth rate has slowed down a lot in the past month.
At present, the number of users of Douyin has just exceeded 70 million, which is already very good for a short video platform that has just emerged.
But for Zhu Shunwei, who has invested so many resources and funds, he is not very satisfied with this result.
Advertising promotion, celebrity and influencer promotion, content updates, etc., but only 70 million users.
Not to mention the current No. 1 Kuaishou company in the industry, even if it is a second shot, volcano, etc., it can't be compared.
Therefore, Douyin needs to work harder in the future, advance step by step, continue to innovate, and continue to explore.
Unlike other short video platforms, Douyin cannot attract traffic, and third-party platforms such as Weibo, Xiaohongshu, and Zhihu are also inaudible.
The main reason is that there is no very hot spot to drive at present, and the other is that the precipitation of Douyin itself is not enough, and the attraction to users is not strong enough.
Combining these reasons, this is an important factor that restricts Douyin from breaking through in the short term.
It was Su Ming, after listening to it, he felt that Zhu Shunwei had done a very good job, and he did not skimp on his praise.
The latter was a little ashamed, modest, and then asked the question that it was time to build a data center.
With 70 million users, an Internet company needs to process a large amount of data every day, and the requirements for servers are also increasing.
As the saying goes, if people have no long-term concerns, they must have near-term worries.
According to the current development speed of Douyin, once a large number of users really suddenly break out, it will be difficult for the existing servers to support it.
Once the platform crashes, it is very easy to trigger a lot of problems, especially the distrust of users towards the platform.
Therefore, it is very necessary to be prepared for danger in times of peace.
Data centers are definitely going to be built, but where to build them, this is very particular.
"Boss, you discuss it with the third child and Zhao Zijin, come up with a plan, choose a few venues, and then we will discuss ....."
Su Ming nodded, pondered for a while, and then said.
But before he finished speaking, Zhu Shunwei took out a document from the file bag behind him:
"Uh, old man, we already have a solution, and we've brought it all over today."
It's embarrassing!
Su Ming, who took the document, touched his nose with his other hand, and looked at Zhu Shunwei with a smile:
"You're really prepared!"
The latter laughed hesitantly, gearing up: "It's not that you are so busy, besides, our work efficiency is still very high, and this awareness is still there." ”
In this regard, Su Ming also smiled, and then casually looked at the plan in his hand.
Data centers need to consider the surrounding power and electricity costs, local land rent, maintenance, taxes, and management fees, as well as the cost of cooling.
For example, Ahri has placed the data center in Qiandao Lake, which has beautiful scenery, developed tourism and abundant water resources.
Therefore, the data center is placed here, and these aspects are fully taken into account.
And Douyin's headquarters is in the magic capital, and there are really many places around the magic capital that are suitable for building data centers.
Like Qingpu in the suburbs, as well as the surrounding satellite city of Kunshan and so on.
These places are in line with the construction requirements of data centers, of course, the land cost may be relatively high.
There is also the Yungui land in the southwest region, where there are also many data centers of Internet giants, and they are also interested in the climate, land and electricity here.
After reading it, Su Ming pondered for a moment and said:
"Boss, you send someone to Yungui to inspect and see what the operating costs are there, and we will discuss it then."
The price of land around the magic capital is still too expensive, and there are no good preferential policies, which is a big burden for a company.
Although the cost of electricity and land is reduced by placing the data center in a place like Yungui, the cost of management and maintenance is also increased.
Therefore, this is very much necessary to consider comprehensively.
When Zhu Shunwei heard this, he also nodded helplessly, after all, Su Ming was the big boss.
Moreover, this was also something he should have considered in advance, but his thinking was limited to the side of the magic capital and he did not think more comprehensively.
That's probably the end of Douyin's matter, and the next thing is Happy Capital.
The volume of Happy Capital is getting bigger and bigger, but in the past two months, it has been transfusing blood into the foreign exchange department and the venture capital department, so there is not much to do.
The only time I made a profit was at the end of June when I shorted the pound and went long on bitcoin.
But this time, the investment is larger, and the income is not as good as the previous one in May.
After all, the time in May was a wool picking, and after the wool of the short fund, it turned the gun around again, and once again picked the wool of the bulls and small and medium-sized investors.
Therefore, it will make a lot of money.
But in June, shorting the pound only earned more than 100 million pounds, nearly more than 200 million US dollars. And going long on Bitcoin is just earning nearly $300 million.
A total of 500 million US dollars, which is more than half of the difference from the one in May.
Most of this part of the funds was used for blood transfusion in venture capital and foreign exchange departments.
Take the venture capital sector as an example, the current projects in this department have soared to more than 20 projects, nearly 30.
Some projects may be an investment of one or two million dollars, and some need to invest five million or tens of millions of dollars, so the amount of capital required is very large.
In addition, projects such as bike-sharing, BIUP, and Pinduoduo not only have no revenue, but may even need to continue to follow up on investment.
For example, Pinduoduo, in the previous A round, Su Ming invested 100 million US dollars in it. Later, Wang Zheng personally found Su Ming and opened the B round of financing, and the latter invested tens of millions of US dollars into it.
This is the same as a bottomless pit, because if you don't continue to follow-up, the original shares will definitely be diluted.
For Su Ming, who is optimistic about Pinduoduo, diluting shares is certainly unacceptable.
In addition to the venture capital department, the foreign exchange department is similar, after all, this department is also a gold-eating beast.
Liu Jun is a very ambitious woman, and after Duan Anliang finished reporting, she immediately interjected:
"Su Dong, I know that I have just joined the company not long ago, and I am soft-spoken, but I still want to say a few words.
That's right, the foreign exchange department has been reused in the past six months, and Mr. Su, the direction of your task is also very accurate....
It's just that I want to say that in this way, I feel like our department is like a marionette, and there is not much room for strength...."
Su Ming was immediately happy when he heard this, this is Lao Duan's senior sister? Sure enough.
This tone is obviously to say the law, what is said to be soft-spoken, hey, look at what she said, there is no caution at all when she just joined the company, and she is very tiger!
Duan Anliang suddenly slapped his forehead, this reckless senior sister is really good enough, strong enough.
He didn't notice it for a while, didn't look at his senior sister, and then asked in public.
Can't you say it in private?
Zhu Shunwei, Kong Yunfeng and others were stunned, wondering if this girl was really stupid or fake? Or is the management of Happy Capital so upright?
Tough boss!
After all, Duan Anliang also had a similar precedent before, and Zhu Shunwei and Kong Yunfeng had all heard of it more or less.
Lin Huizhu, Mo Shiying and Ji Siyao's three assistants held back a smile, because they all had learned Liu Jun's character and knew some inside information.
The latter was very dissatisfied with Su Ming's criticism of the foreign exchange department, and asked to see Su Ming many times.
Although at the end of June, it was proved that Su Ming was right, and everyone thought that Liu Jun was completely convinced.
But she didn't expect that she would wait until today to make a difficulty.
This mind is deep enough and bearable enough.
With a chuckle, Su Ming looked at Liu Jun and said:
"What you mean, I understand, don't talk about people, in my place, democracy, you can say whatever you want, be bold, no problem.
As long as it is a suggestion that is beneficial to the company, I will seriously consider it.
Listen to Lao Duan, you are from Wall Street, and you are still Lao Duan's senior sister.
So, the forex department wants to have its own creativity, and I am very supportive of this, and I am very optimistic about you. ”
In a word, Liu Jun was suddenly speechless.
This was different from what she imagined, she thought that Su Ming would be a very stubborn boss.
Because, in her opinion, Su Ming is young and promising, with a net worth of tens of billions, and he must be a very proud person in his heart.
Naturally, she can't tolerate others pointing fingers at him, so she thinks of saying it on such an occasion.
In this way, she can talk to Su Ming well, after all, the foreign exchange market is not just a one-time speculation, and she can always be so lucky.
The entire foreign exchange market is like the Mariana Sea, with treacherous waves, and wind and waves of several meters or even tens of meters can be seen at any time.
And the foreign exchange department of Happy Capital is like a small shrimp, if you are not careful, you will be swallowed up by the capital giant that suddenly appears.
Therefore, it is necessary to be cautious before it is feasible.
In addition, as she Liu Jun said, the foreign exchange department can't just be a marionette, it's too nonexistent.
It's very unreassuring!
But Su Mingyan died down, making Liu Jun feel that he was obviously punching hard, but he punched the cotton.
No response!
While she was pondering here, Kong Yunfeng had already spoken.
The development of Gouda import car shop in the past six and seven months has been in a state of steady growth, and there is no big surprise, but it is also very good to be able to do this.
The head office in Beijing is still about the same as before, and the revenue data is better than the first quarter, but it is also limited.
Liang Yuanbo is a person who is not open enough and has more than enough to keep it, and he is definitely a housekeeper.
This time, Lao Liang didn't come to the magic capital, so Su Ming could only go over and take a look after a while.
There are many industries, and as a big boss, you must also go to patrol from time to time.
What's more, in the capital, in addition to the Haoda car shop, there are also investment projects such as BIUP Company and Little Yellow Car Company.
After listening to Kong Yunfeng's report, Su Ming praised the former and encouraged the other party to make persistent efforts and create more brilliance.
Especially in the second half of the year, it is generally the peak season for car sales, so it is necessary to do a good job in management.
In addition to doing a good job in logistics, there are preferential policies, activities, safety, employees and other work.
Finally, there is the hotel sector, which is also an indispensable sector in the development of Su Ming's outline group.
Among the many subordinates, Mao Yunyun can be said to be the most beautiful one.
Originally, she was supposed to be radiant, but unfortunately, she has never had a sense of existence, and many of the people present are big guys, she feels that she came from a small place, and she has low self-esteem, so she has been hiding in the corner.
"Sister Mao, what are you thinking?"
Seeing Mao Yunyun who was still bowing his head and playing with the corner of his clothes, Su Ming couldn't help but laugh angrily and quipped.
The former was suddenly like a frightened deer, startled, looked up at Su Ming, and his face turned red.
"Old boss, I'm nothing!"
"Stammering, Sister Mao, isn't it uncomfortable?" Su Ming frowned, and then everyone also showed a look of concern.
And Mao Yunyun's face became even more ruddy, and she couldn't wait to dig a hole and bury herself.
Hurriedly stopped and explained, he was fine.
Seeing her like this, Su Ming put away his suspicious look and praised:
"Sister Mao, I said it a long time ago, after you lost weight, you must be a big beauty, now I'm not wrong, right?"
Everyone suddenly realized, so it is so, no wonder two months ago, although Mao Yunyun was good-looking, it was not as good as now.
After all, one is a plump, even a little chubby, and a slender girl, these are completely two people.
When Mao Yunyun heard this, a flush rose on her face again, her eyes were slightly red, and she said gratefully:
"Thank you boss, if it wasn't for you, I might not have been able to hold on, thank you so much, boss!"
Listening to her tone, with trembling, tears seemed to be about to fall, Su Ming was a little surprised, and hurriedly said:
"Sister Mao, don't get excited, these are all earned by your own hard work, and they don't have much to do with me, if you want to thank yourself, you can thank yourself.
By the way, how much do you weigh now? If it's inconvenient, don't say it! ”
"Convenient, convenient!" Mao Yunyun was very excited and showed a smile:
"I've dropped to ninety-seven now, and I've been completely stable at this weight for nearly half a month, and I've already met your previous requirements, boss."
"Good!"
Su Ming is also very happy, happy for her!
Lin Huizhu, Mo Shiying and other girls all showed surprised eyes, which was really incredible.
The charm of the boss, is it so strong?
If Su Ming knew what they thought, he was afraid that he would vomit blood.
Mao Yunyun's success in losing weight has nothing to do with him, although he is the culprit, but if there is no her own persistence and hard work, how can she do it?
After all, losing weight is such a thing, it's hard, it's hard!
Relying on perseverance and persistence, it is estimated that Mao Yunyun herself has wanted to give up more than once, sweating so much, how many times she has looked at the food and swallowed saliva, and how many times she has been so hungry that her eyes are dizzy......
"Very good, Sister Mao, you are the best!" Su Ming's eyes were full of appreciation, and the more he looked at the other party, he also liked it.
It's hard to find such obedient subordinates!
"When will the hotel manor in Xuanqiao Town open?"
Returning to business, Mao Yunyun put away her mood and said with a serious expression:
"Renovation is still underway, and according to the construction plan, it may not be open until the end of the year.....
Through Mao Yunyun's brief description, Su Ming also has a general understanding of this project.
It's also a shame to say that this project has not been seen since the beginning of construction, except for a few times at the beginning.
At present, the whole project has a rough outline, and even the vineyards are already leafy.
If the grapes are not planted in the first year and the grapes may be very sour, the vineyard can be opened in the second half of the year.
And the big trees planted on the road have also grown a lot of leaves, and the green grass has a hint of a manor.
Of course, it will take years for it to become a real manor.
Not to mention the whole project, which is not yet completed, so we can only continue to wait.
In addition to this, the training of hotel staff is also underway, and some interns are sent to Rongcheng every half a month.
It can be said that when the manor is ready for the opening of the estate nearly half a year in advance, it will definitely provide the best service.
After a few words of encouragement to Mao Yunyun, Su Ming ended the brief meeting in the morning.
Since he still needed to go to Rongcheng in the afternoon, he didn't even eat lunch, so he went directly to Purple Garden.
I haven't seen Li Qingqing for two months, her belly is bigger, and the due date is at the end of September or early October, so the baby will be born soon.
"Su Ming!"
When she saw Su Ming, Li Qingqing was walking on the pier outside the villa, and it was her mother Yuan Hui who was supporting her.
The pot-bellied woman was very excited and wanted to rush over, which immediately startled Su Ming and Yuan Hui.
"Hey, slow down, slow down, watch your body."
Su Ming took three steps and made two steps, and quickly came to her side, supporting her, his face turned white with fright.
didn't dare to scold her, and seeing her smirkling and happy expression, he felt even more guilty in his heart.
"Qingqing, I'm sorry!"
Hugging her gently, Su Ming said apologetically.
"Su Ming, don't be sorry, if you can come to see me, I'm very satisfied."
Li Qingqing said stupidly, saying that she had been pregnant and stupid for three years, and she seemed to be practicing this sentence.
As the baby in her belly grows up healthily, her mind is lighter, she has no intention of fighting for the harem, and only thinks that the baby can be born safely.
"By the way, Su Ming, I couldn't help but do one thing half a month ago, you promise me first, don't blame me, okay?"
Suddenly, Li Qingqing said with some trepidation, Su Ming chuckled in his heart, and pretended to be calm:
"Well, you say, what's the matter? I promise not to blame you. ”
