Chapter 214 Investment
The headquarters of ISP Europe is located in Paris, France.
That night, a lively celebration banquet was held here.
Borderless ISP (Europe) raised $12.8 billion in its first round of funding, and it is finally ready to show its strengths.
Starting the next day, Borderless ISP (Europe) began a large-scale fiber optic cable laying program.
……
"In order to speed up the construction of the European optical cable project, I decided to arrange a domestic engineering team to work in Europe!"
At the same time, at the meeting of Wanjiang Real Estate Company, Zhao Ye said in a deep voice, "You can recruit more famous agricultural workers, they are hardworking and simple, and they can endure hardships, and laying optical cables is not a difficult technical job, I believe they can do it well!" ”
No way, European workers are slow to do things.
China, on the other hand, is the "infrastructure madman", and the construction team is undoubtedly the best choice with fast construction speed, good quality and low price.
Moreover, Zhao Ye sent a Chinese construction team to work abroad, which can just ease the pressure of domestic employment. At this time, there were many people working in agriculture and unemployed in the country, otherwise the state would not encourage everyone to go to the sea to start a business.
"Of course, ISP Borderless (Europe) will still recruit some European workers, but not many." Zhao Ye added.
Recruiting European workers is just a way to help European countries solve part of the employment.
But that's about it.
If all European workers were to be hired for construction, the entire fiber optic cable construction project would be at least one or two times slower, and the cost would be high.
Everyone has no objection to Zhao Ye's words.
They actually know the situation in Western countries very well, and Zhao Ye's decision is undoubtedly the best.
……
IBM stores in Europe.
"IBM computers can't browse websites? Can't log in to the "Battle.net Arena" to play games? Hehe, so what am I buying it for? The customer complained that he came with excitement and returned disappointed.
The salesmen watched one customer after another come and go out empty-handed, and they were all depressed.
They haven't sold a single computer in a whole day.
At this time, this was probably the case in IBM stores all over Europe.
……
IBM Agency in Europe.
At this time, the phone kept ringing in the office.
The customer service department has been answering the dealer's calls.
"Manager, no, IBM's personal computers are almost unsalable, and major dealers have reacted and said they want to return them!" A female customer service said with an anxious face.
"yes, it's the same on my side!" Another agent followed.
Customer service manager Rees Jasper's face was extremely ugly.
She has already reported the situation to the leaders above, especially IBM's first ThinkPad laptop, which was priced the same as the iBook1 laptop from the Borderless Group, and as a result, a few units were not sold in total.
The headquarters of IBM in the United States is already discussing countermeasures.
Sudden price cuts?
I'm afraid it's not that simple.
You know, the ThinkPad laptop has only been on sale for more than a month, and if the price of the ThinkPad laptop is greatly reduced at this time, then, what should users who bought this laptop do before?
This is bound to provoke extreme dissatisfaction among those users.
If the ThinkPad had been released a little later, this would not have been the case now.
IBM felt that this must be a conspiracy of the Wujiang Group, and couldn't help but deepen its hatred for the Wujiang Group.
……
……
While IBM was thinking of a solution, dozens of ships departed from Shanghai, including Shenzhou Computer 2, iBook1 laptops, HarmonyOS 2.0, construction workers, construction equipment, optical cables, and various network equipment.
A large number of orders have made Wujiang Group make a lot of money.
The related industrial chain is even more profitable.
Europeans have higher incomes, so computer penetration is high, and there are more households with Internet access.
It is worth mentioning that the Internet has had a huge impact on the whole of Europe.
At present, many people know that only the computers of the Wujiang Group can be connected to the Internet, which has led to the unsalable computers of other brands.
Only the Shenzhou Computer 2 and iBook1 laptops saw their sales soar.
Zhao Ye watched the ship go away, his heart surging.
With the advantage of the Internet, many products of Wujiang have sold well and immediately made a lot of money.
At the same time, in other regions, the computers of the Wujiang Group have also exploded, and many ISP companies have said that they will cooperate with the Wujiang Group to lay out the network.
Users all over the world are looking forward to surfing the Internet, which is the appeal of many people in the local area, and the government is actively promoting it.
As for the United States asking them to open the IVP4 network, by the way, opening the IVP4 network is a fart, they can't browse websites or play games online, and if they open the IVP4 network, people will inevitably oppose it.
How is it possible to take care of the interests of your own country at the expense of our own country?
Isn't it nice to open an IPv6 network?
Looking at the financing of Borderless ISP (Europe), the Series A financing is 12.8 billion US dollars!
Mentality explodes!
ISPs in various countries are envious and are convincing their countries to support the Borderless Group's ivp6 network and the WWW World Wide Web standard.
Who knows when browsers in the U.S. will be developed?
Furthermore, even if it is developed, can there be a more advanced technology and richer content on the Wujiang Group's side?
……
India.
Computer experts come together.
"The United States has just sent another note asking us to support the IVP4 network only, what do you suggest?" A certain leader frowned and said in a deep voice.
The computer experts glanced at each other, and finally Fern Willard stood up and slowly said to the officials: "According to the analysis of all of us, in order to promote the Internet, the Wujiang Group has spent three or four years to prepare, including optical cables, adsl, personal computers, Internet cafes, routers, WWW, browsers, websites, WED servers, operating systems, chips, etc., all of which are far ahead of the United States. If the United States wants to catch up in all directions, it will take at least two years in the best case! ”
"In the past two years, the IVP6 network supported by Wujiang Group and China has already developed more maturely, in short, I am not optimistic about the IPv4 network of the United States at all."
"On the European side, the United States computers are in full swing, and the development of China's borderless Internet standards is changing with each passing day. Driven by interests, the European side is obviously more supportive of the network standards set by the Borderless Group! ”
"Also...... Perhaps because the United States is now too powerful, European countries do not want the Internet to be controlled by the United States! ”
"The most important point is that the IVP6 network developed by the Borderless Group is more open, more advanced, and has more root server ......"
"Wait, what's the root server?" The senior official asked suspiciously.
Computer expert Fern Willard explains: "The Internet's root server, also known as the root DNS (DNS root) server, is the core part of the network, and its primary role is to manage the Domain Name System (DNS) around the world. The DNS system is a key component of the Internet, helping users to translate complex web addresses into corresponding IP addresses when browsing the web or sending emails! ”
After a pause, he saw that many officials still didn't understand, so he reorganized the language: "To put it simply, if your country doesn't have a root server, you will be controlled by others, and you may be disconnected by others at any time." ”
"At the moment, the number of root servers in IVP4 is limited, and most of them are controlled by the United States itself, and it is almost impossible for us in India to get one or two root servers from the United States!"
"So I put forward my own proposal from the technical level and the national information security level, we in India should support the development of IPv6 networks! At present, the number of root servers in IVP6 is still sufficient, and we in India are fully capable of getting one or two root servers from Wujiang Group! ”
"I suggest that the sooner you negotiate with the Borderless Group, the better, after all, the number of IVP6 root servers is also limited. If other countries get ahead of us, we lose the opportunity to get hold of the root server......"
When the senior officials heard this, they understood, and they looked at other computer experts and asked for their opinions.
Other computer experts agreed with Fern Willard's words.
The officials looked at each other, nodded secretly, and thought, we India is also a big country, okay, why do we have to look at the face of the United States in everything!
In order to ensure the country's network security, of course, you must choose the IVP6 network!
In the previous life, there were only 13 IPv4 root servers, one of which was the primary root server in the United States, operated by Network Solutions, an American Internet organization, and the remaining 12 were secondary root servers. Of the 12 secondary root servers, 9 are in the US, 2 are in Europe (located in the UK and Sweden), and 1 is in Asia (located in Japan).
In the previous life, India did not have a root server, so it later joined the Yeti project, so it had 3 secondary root servers.
Now it's just ahead of time.
In Europe, in fact, part of the reason is due to its own network security considerations, so it will default to the development of Borderless ISP (Europe).
Otherwise, it would have been stopped by European governments a long time ago.
On the Internet, Europe has defaulted to the side of the Borderless Group.
No one wants the United States to become stronger.
In the past two years, the United States has frightened many European countries, and as an ally, it is also afraid.
This time, Wujiang Group wants to promote the IVP6 Internet standard, and European countries will also push the boat.
……
……
Zhao Ye watched more and more ISP companies want to cooperate with Wujiang Group, and he has vaguely realized that in the cyber battlefield, Wujiang Group has a lot of help.
For all the ISP companies that came to discuss cooperation, Wujiang Group did not refuse to come, and said that the sooner the cooperation, the root server will be delivered!!
Neither the Borderless Group nor China wanted to control the entire Internet, so the root server would definitely have to be sent away.
No one wants their country's network to be controlled by another country.
India, Japan, South Korea, and many more countries have also chosen IPv6 networks.
At the end of 1992, there was a period of IVP6 explosion.
The news of Wujiang Group's cooperation with ISPs in various countries has frequently made headlines on the front pages of various countries.
Country M feels as if it is playing a stand-alone machine and is isolated, and only it is still developing an IPv4 network.
However, the most infuriating thing is that the American people do not support IVP4, and have expressed their desire for IVP6, and want to bring Shenzhou Computer 2, iBook, Hongmeng System 2.0 and Tenglong Internet Cafe back to the American market.
The whole world is surfing the Internet, but country M is engaged in stand-alone machines.
Is this still the greatest America?
Is this still the freest and most democratic America?
……
……
Zhao Ye once again strengthened his security forces at this time.
He is also afraid, after all, what he has done is harming the interests of country M.
Now he doesn't even dare to go abroad, not even to Hong Kong, after all, it's not 1997, there are mixed there, and if he is not careful, Zhao Ye will capsize in the gutter.
No way.
The wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind.
There is no one like Zhao Ye who is peerless in thousands of years.
It took less than a decade for the Borderless Group to grow from an obscure small Hanka company to a multi-field supergiant.
Countless consortia with a long history and strong strength must also bow their heads in front of Wujiang Group.
Zhao Ye's birth changed the situation of the whole world.
The U.S. tech community trembled even in front of Zhao Ye.
Zhao Ye stomped his foot, and Wall Street would be shaken.
……
"Boss, I just received a notice that all the products of our Wujiang Group cannot enter the US market!" Secretary Liu Yinyin hurriedly ran into Zhao Ye's office, then walked in front of Zhao Ye and hurriedly reported.
When Zhao Ye heard this, he looked stunned.
Nima, sure enough, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind.
The Wujiang Group moved other people's cheese, and the other party came to the real thing.
"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!"
Zhao Ye pondered, "Since the matter is irreparable, we have to find a way to minimize the loss. Now it is best to expand domestic demand and open up new markets! ”
Zhao Ye looked up at Liu Yinyin and admonished: "Notify the top management...... People above the manager will all go to the big conference room at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning for a meeting! ”
"Yes!"
Liu Yinyin nodded in response, walked out of the office, and went to inform the others.
Zhao Ye leaned back in his chair and pondered......
9 o'clock in the morning the next day.
The large conference room was packed.
Many people had obviously arrived in advance, and before Zhao Ye came, everyone was whispering inside.
The news that all of the products of the Wujiang Group could not enter the U.S. market had completely spread throughout the group at this time, and everyone's faces were full of worry.
"Squeak"
At this moment, the door was pushed open.
I saw that as soon as Zhao Ye entered the gate, everyone stood up one after another, and the scene was very spectacular.
"Hello boss!" Everyone said in unison.
"Hmm!" Zhao Ye bowed his head slightly, and then walked towards the stage.
"Sit down!" Zhao Ye said that he himself also sat down in his seat at this time.
"Ahem, everyone should know about the current situation of the group company. Tell me all about it, what's the solution! Zhao Ye looked around and spoke.
As soon as the voice fell, someone immediately said: "Boss, the attitude of the United States is extremely resolute, I think that our products will not be able to enter the American market in a short period of time, so we must open up new markets!" I think that the markets in Asia, Africa and South America have greater market potential, which is worth digging into! Of course, we have to change the positioning of some products and develop some low-end products to adapt to the local market! ”
"Then there is the expansion of domestic demand...... As for the solution, I think we should develop high-quality and low-cost products, after all, the income of the domestic people is not high, the price of goods is too high, and they can't afford it! ”
Zhao Ye nodded to the person who spoke, expressing approval, looked at the others, and asked, "Do the others have any other ideas?" ”
"Boss, I think we should find a way to increase the income of the Chinese people. As long as China's economic development is better, the growth rate of national income will accelerate! At present, we can actually invest in some super projects or large infrastructure projects to promote the development of the national economy and solve the employment problem of the people! At this point, another person said.
When Zhao Ye heard this, he couldn't help but nod secretly, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Is there a specific project for the super project you are talking about?" Zhao Ye asked.
"There is !!" The man nodded, and then continued: "For example, the 'Three Gorges Dam' is a super project, on April 3 this year, this super project passed a vote, once completed, the 'Three Gorges Dam' will be a set of flood control, power generation, shipping, water resources utilization, tourism, etc., becoming one of the largest water conservancy hubs in the world today!" It just so happens that there is a shortage of electricity in China, and the power consumption of our data centers is also increasing, so investing in the 'Three Gorges Dam' should be a good choice!! ”
Hearing this, Zhao Ye's eyes lit up, and he knew that the "Three Gorges Dam" was indeed a good investment project.
China's power has always been very tight, and it must be prepared in advance, and it cannot wait until the power is insufficient to think of generating electricity.
However, the total investment in the Three Gorges Dam is as high as 250 billion yuan, and the average person can convert it into US dollars, which is more than 40 billion yuan.
However, this project is not only a benefit of power generation, it has generated great economic benefits for the whole society.
Before Zhao Ye was reborn, even after deducting the operation and maintenance costs, the investment in the Three Gorges Dam would have been recovered long ago. The Three Gorges Dam is like a super money printing machine, generating 380,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per minute and generating at least nearly 100,000 yuan in revenue.
This project can be cast !!
It can also solve the problem of electricity consumption, make money, and build the Three Gorges Dam as soon as possible, and the whole society will benefit from it as soon as possible.
Two years ago, the Wujiang Group had cash deposits worth more than $60 billion, and in the past two years, the cash deposits of the Wujiang Group have risen to more than $95 billion.
There is no way, the speed of making money far exceeds the speed of spending money.
If you don't do some super engineering and use up your money, your savings will only increase. In fact, the Borderless Group is already spending money like crazy, but what can it do, the Borderless Group can earn three or four billion dollars a year, but if you spend money, no matter how you spend it, it won't spend much in a year.
However, at present, Wujiang Group has completely lost the US market, and its overall revenue will decline significantly.
However, Zhao Ye was not too worried.
He has mastered the future technology and development trends, even if there is no American market, Wujiang Group can still make a lot of money.
"Okay, the Three Gorges Dam project can be invested!" Zhao Ye clapped his face, his face flashing with joy.
The subordinates have a strong ability to observe words and feelings, and seeing that Zhao Ye is in a good mood, he can't help but speculate that Zhao Ye likes to invest in super projects.
As the saying goes: "The king of Chu has a thin waist, and he starves to death in the palace." King Qi is so purple, and there is no different color in the palace. ”
Everyone began to offer ideas.
"Boss, I think that the domestic transportation is not very convenient, we can invest! If the transportation is convenient, it will help the circulation and sales of goods, and the overall business environment in China will be improved, and we will be able to really do e-commerce! ”
Zhao Ye nodded and said, "The investment transportation is very good, and this has also passed!" ”
Investing in transportation is a large infrastructure project, which can promote the development of the domestic economy, and only when people's incomes are high, can Wujiang Group make money from them.
Nowadays, due to the low wages of domestic workers, the main market of Wujiang Group is outside, and it is difficult for Wujiang Group to expand domestic demand.
