Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 970 Is Being able to collect money to piss you off

……

If the outside world thinks that Tang IT and Zheru Software Company only operate "cloud computing services" like ordinary technologies and products, they are totally wrong.

There are various signs that the treatment received by "cloud computing services" is special and meaningful.

For example, many users who are really interested in "cloud computing services" will find during the consultation process that the unit responsible for reception is not Zheru Software Company, but Zheru Cloud Computing Service Company.

After inquiry, it can be seen that Zheru Cloud Computing Service Company is a new company established this year and fully controlled by Zheru Software Company. Its business scope mainly includes Internet products and services.

This has to make people think, is Zheru Software Company already preparing for the worst?
You must know that once the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company monopoly case is decided and Zheru Software Company's monopoly is established, then according to the design of the U.S. Department of Justice, Zheru Software Company will be dismantled into at least three parts, namely, the main operating system, Three small companies that specialize in enterprise products and general software.

Take IBM, which also faced the Department of Justice's antitrust lawsuit, it established a similar company in Atlanta, which is responsible for almost all businesses except mainframes, in order to deal with the worst situation that may really be split.

In contrast, Zheru Software Company has remained secretive in this regard until Zheru Cloud Computing Service Company was inadvertently discovered by the outside world.

When the media asked Zheru cloud computing service company about this matter, the answer they got was: the new company has not yet fully entered the track, and there is no comment on relevant information.

When the question was turned to Zheru Software Company, the answer it received was not so repulsive: Zheru Software Company was very optimistic about the future prospects of "cloud computing services" and attached great importance to it, so it decided to let it be done by An independent company to operate exclusively.

The reporter pointedly asked: "Zheru Software Company suddenly established Zheru Cloud Computing Service Company, which is fully controlled by itself. Is it preparing for the worst outcome of the monopoly case filed by the United States of America against Zheru Software Company?"

Brad Swalberg, CEO of Zheru Software Company, disagreed and said: "The establishment of Zheru Cloud Computing Services Company is really to better operate this business that represents the future. If you don't believe it, You can wait patiently, we are about to launch a big move around this area."

Seeing that Brad Swalberg was as tough-talking as ever, onlookers couldn't help but wonder: This guy can really act!Could it be that he naively believed that the monopoly case of the United States of America against Zheru Software Company could continue to be "suspended" like this?

It didn't take long for these defamers to realize that they really seemed to be blaming Brad Swahlberg a little bit wrongly, and he really made a big move.

The first news that came out was that the major headhunting companies in the United States were about to break the threshold of Zheru Software Company.

Because Zheru Software Company is looking for a CEO for Zheru Cloud Computing Services Company, and it has to look outside the system of Zheru Software Company, so headhunting companies have received a "big job."

What is special about this dynamic is that after more than ten years of development, the Tang Kingdom, where Zheru Software is located, has already established its own talent training system, and rarely seeks middle and senior management from outside.

At this time, it was the turn of the richest man to explain: In order to better develop the "cloud computing services" that represent the future, Zheru Cloud Computing Services Company needs a CEO with a broader mind, and from a broader scope Finding a needle in a haystack is a good way.

At this point, Tang Huan said seriously again: "Cloud computing services are inseparable from data centers in the 'cloud'. For this reason, Zheru Software Company plans to support the construction of several data centers around the world through a new round of financing. .”

Everyone was a little dumbfounded when they heard this: Zheru Software Company has been suppressed to this extent, and it is still thinking about making money?

Such a first reaction is not surprising.

Compared with the saying that "poor and poor", Zheru Software Company, which has tens of billions of dollars in cash reserves, has become extremely "rich" in the past two years, spending hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn.

For example, the previous purchase of bonds for the California High-Speed ​​Rail, the recent global promotion of StudioOS_XP, and the stock buyback warning to certain short sellers in the capital market all cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

With so much money, is it still necessary to raise funds?

The richest man said innocently: The landlords don’t have enough food to spare. Who made the construction cost of the data center so high?
Soon, the serious financing prospectus of Babai was released to the public by Zheru Software Company.

The content is quite long, and it clearly introduces to investors the value and significance of a series of latest high-tech crystals, including cloud computing services and data centers, to the entire industry.

Not everyone has the foresight!Not everyone can be justified!
Amid the feverish technology stock craze, Wall Street was enamored by Zheru Software Company’s new financing plan, and Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, and Bank of America, which were responsible for the specific operations, were overwhelmed.

Investors should not worry that the monopoly case between the United States of America and Zheru Software Company will rekindle in the second half of the year, so they should get in the car first.

After all, compared to others that are still exploring profit models. COM concept stock, Zheru Software Company has a clear, mature and credible long-term plan. If you fail to catch up with the market, you will really miss out on this village and not have this store!
Anyway, just like high-rise buildings, the data center is located there, and it can't run away!

According to Zheru Software's plan, it will build at least twelve data centers around the world in the next 15 years.

Among them, there are six in the United States, and the rest are distributed in Europe, Asia, and South America.

More specifically, North Carolina and Alaska in the United States, Finland in Northern Europe, and Singapore in Asia are basically determined to have a data center.

The Los Angeles Times sensitively noticed that California, where Zheru Software is headquartered, was not included in this list.

Is this an unintentional coincidence or a deliberate hint?

You must know that a project like a data center is no small matter. The electricity required alone is equivalent to a small industrialized town, which shows its "scale".

Otherwise, Zheru Software Company will not plausibly cry out for poverty, and investors will not flock to participate.

Here, Zheru Software Company is planning to raise $20 billion; over there, California has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in data centers, but California has not secured any.

It’s hard not to think about such a weird sight!
When asked by a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, Brad Swalberg, the CEO of Zheru Software Company, who was walking around Wall Street like a Hollywood star, shrugged his shoulders and said: The other party said, "The location of the data center must comprehensively consider many factors."

"For example, when the equipment in the data center is running, it will generate heat that is unimaginable to ordinary people. Therefore, cooling is a quite serious problem."

"This is also a major reason why Zheru Software Company will give priority to placing its data centers in Finland, Northern Europe, and even Alaska in the United States."

"If possible, Zheru Software Company would like to put its data center in Siberia."

The Los Angeles Times reporter was certainly not satisfied with the explanation given by Brad Swalberg.

Places like Alaska and Finland are “cool”, but what about North Carolina and Singapore?
Only an idiot would believe that the trade-off factors here are so simple!
Then, the next day, the "Los Angeles Times" printed an eye-catching headline on the front page: "California is too "hot" to build a data center."

After some people saw this report from the Los Angeles Times, they suddenly felt that the weather seemed to be really "hot", and even the little flames in their hearts were aroused.

No, Tang must stand up and give a clear explanation on this matter.

Ever since, the media from California, including the "Los Angeles Times", began to hunt and intercept the richest man again.

As a result, they received a very polite reply: Tang was personally interviewing candidates for the position of CEO of Zheru Cloud Computing Services Company and had no time to entertain friends from the media.

……

At this time, Tang Huan was indeed busy selecting the CEO of Zheru Cloud Computing Services Company.

What he previously revealed to the media that he wanted to look for a CEO with a more open-minded thinking outside the Down Syndrome system was indeed true.

It is true that the Tang Kingdom has already had its own talent echelon's continuous mechanism, so it can be said that there is no shortage of people. However, while this model maintains its own corporate culture steadily, it also inevitably limits its horizons.

In the original time and space, why was Microsoft evaluated by the media as, compared to Google's vitality and aging, only relying on resting on its laurels to prevent it from collapsing?

Google acquired Motorola, and Microsoft followed suit and acquired Nokia, but the gains of both parties were not the same.

Microsoft has always wanted to follow Apple’s example and make hardware in person to deeply integrate its own software technology to create a new ecosystem. However, the Xbox, the home game console, has blazed a trail by burning money all the way, but digital music Players, smartphones, tablets, etc., which one didn't end badly.

In terms of cloud computing, Microsoft also pushed Windows and Office belatedly.

The reason has something to do with the "inertia" that instinctively resists making positive changes to adapt to the new environment after its own system is solidified.

No matter how to explain it, the outside world always thinks that the richest man has established a new Zheru cloud computing service company to prepare for the worst outcome of the monopoly case against Zheru Software Company by the United States of America. But God knows, this is really This is putting the cart before the horse!
The actual situation is that cloud computing services are a general trend, and Tang IT has to pay attention to it.

For example, as the technologies of GPS and Internet become more and more mature, the electronic map that is being brewed in Zheru R&D Center is about to be pushed to the foreground.And this big data user typically relies heavily on cloud computing services.

At the same time, cloud computing services will also profoundly affect the game rules of the entire industry.

Take software piracy as an example. The latest version of the consumer-grade operating system StudiOS_XP of Zheru Software Company has painstakingly introduced a set of "activation verification" copyright protection mechanism; but in the cloud computing service environment, there is no need for such effort. .Everything is in the cloud, pay per subscription, easy and fun counting money!
It can be said that if Zheru Software does not actively deploy for the "cloud era" as soon as possible, even if it escapes the sword of Damocles in the monopoly case of the United States of America v Zheru Software, it will be like Microsoft in the original time and space. The ship is too big to turn around and staggers forward awkwardly and passively in severe weather where the rules of the game in the industry are changing rapidly.

In order to break the shackles of this old system, Tang Huancai took great pains to serve cloud computing, established a separate company, and tried to find a CEO from the outside with a broader vision and freer thinking. Just like when Big Blue saw the booming development of the personal computer industry and couldn't bear it, in order to avoid the negative impact of its own "big business disease", it created an additional unit to develop the IBM-PC chess plan.

When the richest man's request was announced, well-known headhunting companies across the United States were extremely busy, working day and night to select the resources at hand and then send them to Zheru Cloud Computing Service Company.

Although the requirements are probably just general experienced industry veterans, in fact, Tang Huan prefers to find people from the IT circle.

Gein, the concept of "cloud computing services" is still relatively obscure. General-level executives may not be able to fully understand the intentions of the richest man, but it is easier to communicate with industry insiders.

Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that as the trend of the richest man looking for a CEO for Zheru Cloud Computing Service Company becomes more and more fierce, major IT companies have raised their alert levels, fearing that their "white rich beauty" will be unscrupulous. "Tall, rich and handsome" abducted.

Today, Tang Huan took out a resume from the professional recommendations of many headhunting companies and the evaluation and selection of his subordinates, according to his own feelings, and invited the other party over for an interview.

This person is Eric Schmidt, a senior computer engineer who worked in information technology companies such as Bell Labs, Zilog, and Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in his early days.

A notable turning point in Eric Schmidt's career was as chief technology officer of Sun Microsystems.During his tenure, he led the development of Java platform technology, Sun Microsystems' independent platform programming technology, and established the company's network strategy.
However, in [-], Eric Schmidt jumped to Netpower to become president.

Looking at Eric Schmidt, Tang Huan said with a playful smile: "Schmidt, when you worked at Sun Microsystems, you should also be Sun Microsystems, the 'NOISE' alliance, and Zheru Software. The most intense stage of swords and swords. How do you see this period?"
