Chapter 417 BAT is frightened, Hanfu press conference!
"200,000 servers are equivalent to two Baidus, such a big deal!"
Li Yan couldn't help but feel a little worried: "It seems that Xingyi Technology will not only fully develop search engine services, but even develop AI search!"
The vice president agreed very much: "Not only AI search, Xingyi Technology has its own AI algorithm center, acquired Xiaoi Robot, and invested in iFlytek. Together, the three parties have surpassed us in the field of AI algorithm and interaction.
Baidu is not only number one in China, but also among the best in the world. Now that it has its own data center and such a large scale, its future is limitless."
Li Yan's face became even more ugly: "Yes, but if this happens, we will be miserable. They also have Amap, which has also ranked first in the country, and has invested in BYD. If they focus on autonomous driving, our Baidu
Autonomous driving will also lead to tragedy!”
"Made, why does this guy Wang Yi always have trouble getting along with us at Baidu?"
The vice president was silent: "..."
What else can be said?
Baidu wanted to do many good outlets and planned them immediately, but for some unknown reason, it failed to implement them and instead it gave an advantage to its competitors!
I woke up early and rushed to the late market.
There is nothing to explain.
On the other hand, Xingyi Technology, even if it started later, has developed better!
There is no way to explain it.
If Li Yan hadn't been so kind to me, I would have wanted to switch jobs to Xingyi Technology!
Alibaba headquarters.
Jack Ma crossed his legs and touched his chin: "With 200,000 servers, Xingyi Technology has a huge ambition. I seriously doubt that Meiyou will upgrade to a comprehensive e-commerce company."
"This guy, Director Wang, is not going to work for Baidu, but will he start working for Alibaba?"
Wang Jian, who was opposite him, sighed: "If we just do e-commerce, I'm afraid that Xingyi Technology will also deploy big data and cloud computing! By then, our Feitian Cloud Computing will have another strong rival!"
Jack Ma snorted coldly: "Hmph! When the soldiers come, we will block the water and cover up the soil. In the e-commerce field, we Alibaba have not been afraid of anyone! As for the other party's cloud computing, it is indeed difficult to deal with."
"But it's a good thing. Wang Yi has so many plans, and they all cost money. Cloud computing is also very expensive. If Xingyi Technology is brought down, it will be fun. Haha."
But Wang Jian, who was opposite him, was not optimistic: "But what if Xingyi Technology's cloud computing is completed and even surpasses our Alibaba Feitian?"
"This..." Jack Ma opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
In high-end fields such as cloud computing, the first in the industry has always eaten meat, the second in the industry has eaten the bones, and the third in the industry can only eat soup...
Alibaba Feitian Cloud Computing invested so much in order to be the number one meat eater, not to be the second in soup drinker after thousands of years!
"No, the cloud computing department will continue to increase investment and must not be surpassed by Xingyi Cloud Computing!" Jackma said firmly.
"Okay, Chairman, I will do my best!" Wang Jian promised.
When there is competition, there is pressure.
He knows that Alibaba Feitian Cloud Computing is going to speed up again, which is great!
Penguin Headquarters.
Director Ma frowned: "With 200,000 servers, even if Changchao grows to the level of QQ and has more than 600 million users, it won't be enough. Is it possible that they still want to go all out to develop Xingyi Games?"
"After working on our social network, he still wants to work on Tencent Games? If he doesn't work on Baidu or Alibaba, he will continue to work on our Goose Factory?"
The vice president's face changed slightly: "Chanchao has already exceeded 300 million active users, while our WeChat only has 100 million. It can be said that it has completely failed. Although QQ has 600 million users, one person has multiple accounts. In fact, the number of active QQ users is
It’s only about 400 million, and it was immediately surpassed by Changchao!”
"In terms of games, Xingyi Games has continuously released new products. The previous "Defend Grapefruit" and "Happy Xiaoxiaole" were all popular and became national games, with terrible revenue. Many employees of our Goose Factory are playing,
Even a lot of krypton gold.”
"Really? Is this the case?" Ma Dong frowned slightly.
"Of course, they are afraid of being tricked, so they play in secret. If you go to any toilet, there will be employees playing Xingyi games."
Ma Dong opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
The employees of Goose Factory don’t play Goose Factory games, but are obsessed with Xingyi Games. It’s really a slap in the face!
"Subway Surfers, released at the beginning of the month, has become popular again and is another game for everyone."
Brother Xiao Ma was also very helpless: "It has only been ten days since the release of "Subway Surfers", and the number of users has exceeded 100 million, and the revenue has exceeded 400 million. It's incredible, how can it spread so fast?"
The vice president sighed: "There is no way, Xingyi Technology just doesn't follow martial ethics, and directly promotes "Subway Surfers" on hundreds of millions of Xingyi mobile phones, Xingyi tablets, and Xingyi TVs. Still on Changchao,
There are more than 300 million active users of Changcha, and the game itself is fun, so it’s hard to imagine whether it will become popular.”
"Alas! What troubles me the most is "Star Hunters". Although the number of users is a little less than "Subway Surfers", it is still 40 million in ten days. The key is the revenue, which is even higher, at least 1 billion!"
Ma Dong sighed.
"Star Hunters" is a large-scale mobile game, and its user base cannot be as explosive as "Subway Surfers", but the unit price per customer is high.
Playing "Subway Surfers" for ten days, maybe one or twenty is enough.
But after playing "Star Hunter" for ten days, maybe I got into it within one or two hundred...
"Star Hunter" attracts as much money as DNF, and any newbie gift pack is only one or two hundred...
During the holidays, there will also be holiday gift packages, priced at three to four hundred each, so you can make money easily...
"If I had known this, we should have made "Dungeon" a mobile game!" the vice president couldn't help but sigh.
Director Ma waved his hand: "It's difficult, the copyright of the dungeon is not ours, it is in the hands of Bangzi. If it is made into a mobile game, not to mention the investment, the copyright fee will be a large amount. If you want to promote it globally in the future, you will have to
It depends on whether Bangzi agrees or not. Even if he agrees, Bangzi will still receive a large amount of income, which is equivalent to making money for Bangzi, which is not cost-effective."
"That's right. It's not my own game, so it would be troublesome to run it. On the contrary, Xingyi Technology is powerful enough to make "Star Hunters" quietly, and it's doing very well. Now the QQ group of "Star Hunters" is
There are tens of thousands of them, calling friends to form teams. There are even more chat groups. There are also many dungeon groups, all clamoring to play "Star Hunters" together. Isn't this poaching our corner?"
"This is a serious problem." Ma Dong nodded: "When "Star Hunter" becomes popular, it will definitely take away many dungeon users. After all, mobile games are more convenient and fresh to play. In the future, the impact of mobile games on PC games is estimated to be
All are fatal."
The vice president understood what Director Ma meant: "Then we will also make a similar mobile game!"
"Yes. But what I'm most worried about is that Xingyi Technology is fully developing the game business. In the past, Xingyi Game's servers were rented, but now Xingyi Cloud data center has it, and it is still such a large scale. In the future, Xingyi Game will directly
If we use our own servers, we will definitely develop better, and it will definitely have a serious impact on our Tencent games."
"Don't worry, Chairman, Lao Zhang lost to Changchao in WeChat, but he will never lose in the game!"
"Okay, I believe you!" Ma Dong said, but he was a little worried in his heart.
WeChat has completely failed, QQ has almost been surpassed by Changchao, and the basic intention of social networking has been lost.
If the game is also surpassed, then the future of Goose Factory will be bleak.
The problem is that Wang Yi doesn't talk about martial ethics, so he does both software and hardware.
Goose Factory wants to suppress Xingyi Technology, but it is at a loss.
After all, once Goose Factory blocks Xingyi Technology's software, Xingyi Mobile immediately blocks Goose Factory's software, and it is Goose Factory that will suffer heavy losses.
Now that Xingyi mobile phone users have exceeded 100 million, which software company would dare to offend?
Even Li Yan didn't dare to be presumptuous, for fear that Xingyi Technology would ban him in equal measure and directly destroy Baidu's entire family!
Then Baidu was in a terrible situation. It lost hundreds of millions of users all of a sudden, and no one could handle it.
So hard!
"Forget it, we can only take one step and see one step."
Xingyi Cloud Data Center.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony entered the reporter's question session:
"Director Wang, when will the Xingyi Cloud Data Center be put into use?"
"The Xingyi Cloud Data Center is currently undergoing server installation. The network engineering has been advanced before delivery. As the server installation progresses, it will be debugged and put into use in batches starting next month."
"Director Wang, will the Xingyi Cloud Data Center use new clean energy sources such as photovoltaics?"
"Due to the rush to complete the first phase of the project, photovoltaics cannot be deployed. Photovoltaics will be introduced in subsequent projects."
"Director Wang, how much is the investment in the entire Xingyi Cloud Service Center?"
"The total investment is 6 billion. Among them, the infrastructure construction cost of 200 acres is 2 billion, and the cost of 200,000 servers is 2 billion. Plus nearly 20,000 cabinets, network equipment and other costs, it is also 2 billion. The total investment is as high as
6 billion!”
…
The media recorded it all.
The data center is very expensive. It will cost 6 billion to build all four phases.
The least valuable thing among them is land.
Data centers are all remote industrial land, which is very cheap, costing 200,000 per mu, and 200 acres only costs 40 million.
Jeju is responsible for the land worth 40 million and the infrastructure for the first and second phases, with a total investment of about 1 billion.
However, the construction of the third and fourth phases also requires one billion, as well as all servers, network equipment, etc., which are all the responsibility of Xingyi Technology itself, and it will cost another 5 billion in the future!
It can be said that Jeju’s small size makes it big.
Jeju only needs to invest 1 billion, and Wang Yi can invest 5 billion to build the world's largest single cloud data center in Jeju.
By then, Jeju's industries will be upgraded, talents will be gathered, and tax revenues will be reduced...
An investment of one billion can be repaid within one year, but the next few decades will be in vain.
After all, the cloud data center has been put into operation and Wang Yi spent 5 billion, so it is impossible to move it.
Moreover, the two parties also have a gambling agreement. The Xingyi Cloud Data Center must be successfully put into use within five years and have more than 100,000 servers. Otherwise, Wang Yi will have to pay all the land donated by Jeju and the billions spent on infrastructure construction, which is quite a lot.
I didn’t lose a penny in Jeju.
This kind of investment promotion has zero risk and a huge profit, and there is no loss of state-owned assets at all...
And this kind of behavior is very common, just like Tesla was introduced to the Demon City many years later in the previous life.
The land worth 9.8 billion was sold to Tesla for 980 million, and 8.82 billion was directly given away.
It also provided 40 billion in low-interest loans.
Compared with the support that Shanghai gave to Tesla for a project, the support that Jeju gave to Wang Yi was nothing more than a small deal.
What's more, it's all a zero-risk bet, a sure-fire deal.
Of course, Wang Yi is willing to locate all Xingyi Cloud data centers in Jeju and achieve a scale of 200,000 units. On the one hand, it is his hometown and he is familiar with it in all aspects. Wang Yi also wants to develop his hometown better.
On the other hand, Jeju has good policies. Not to mention the one-billion-dollar bet, the key is the electricity price.
For cloud data centers, electricity price subsidies are available everywhere, which is inevitable.
Jeju directly subsidizes electricity to 3.5 cents per kilowatt hour, which is basically the lowest electricity price.
Wang Yi can't get any lower if he goes to other cities, so he might as well study all of Jeju.
By then, Xingyi Games, Changchao, Xingyi Video, Xingyi Animation, etc. will all be moved to Jeju. The cost will be much lower than that of the Imperial City, and it will be in the same city as the server, making it easier to maintain.
For example, in the Imperial City and Magic City, it is enough to retain the R&D department for high-end business, while other departments only need to maintain an Imperial Capital office.
By moving all non-high-end R&D business back to Jeju, Xingyi Technology can reduce expenses, employees can also reduce house purchase costs and consumption costs, and improve the happiness index.
If we were in the Imperial Capital, even if the salary was higher, it would not be as high as the housing prices, and we would not be able to afford a house in the Imperial Capital.
To put it bluntly, most of the employees of Xingyi Technology can only work as high-end cows and horses in the imperial capital of Beipiao. They cannot afford to buy a house in the imperial capital without millions of dollars in debt.
If you buy a house with millions in debt, once you lose your job or have a physical condition, the rest of your life will be over.
The Internet winter has arrived. The market value of BAT giants has been discounted by 30%. They have laid off employees and cut wages. Both husband and wife in large companies have lost their jobs. In order to maintain supply, they can only sell their houses at a low price, and basically all the down payment is included.
By then, all the savings from years of hard work will be gone, including my parents’ life savings.
After all, when I first paid the down payment to buy a house in the imperial capital, two families had to put together six wallets.
Then this life will be difficult.
But back to Jeju, it was the upper class elite.
Mortgage? What is a mortgage? With several years of income from Xingyi Technology, you can buy it in full!
The happiness index on both sides is completely different.
Compared to struggling in first-tier cities, Wang Yi in his previous life preferred to be chic in second-tier cities.
Naturally, I have to create a better way out for my employees and brothers.
Not to miss this opportunity, reporters on the scene continued to ask questions:
"Director Wang, the xphone 2 released at the beginning of the month was very successful. I have already received the new phone and I like it very much. When will the next press conference be held? Will it be next month?"
Wang Yi waved his hand: "No, the next press conference will be in three days!"
"What? Another press conference three days later?"
The reporter who asked the question was confused, and the reporter who was waiting to ask the question was also confused.
On September 1st, Xingyi Technology just held a press conference and released xphone 2, XUI4.0, Xingyi Fast Charge, "Subway Surfers", "Star Hunter", Xingyi Game Controller, Xingyi Smart Fan and
Smart wireless fan…
As a result, three days later, on September 13th, there will be another new product launch conference!
This is too unexpected!
Soon, the reporter came back to his senses and quickly asked: "Director Wang, what will be the press conference on September 13th? Is it also a press conference of Xingyi Technology?"
"Yes and no, it's mainly about the Meiyou press conference! Of course, there's also a blockbuster software from Xingyi Technology!" Wang Yixiao said: "Okay, this media communication meeting is over. We will be on September 13th.
Meiyou Exhibition and Sales Center, see you there, welcome everyone."
"Director Wang!"
A group of reporters wanted to continue asking questions, but Wang Yi left the scene directly surrounded by security personnel.
Soon, news reports came out:
[The first phase of the Xingyi Cloud Data Center is delivered and will accommodate 50,000 servers.]
[There are a total of four phases of Xingyi Cloud Data Center, which will be able to accommodate 200,000 servers after completion.]
[With an investment of 6 billion and 200,000 servers, Xingyi Cloud Data Center will become the world’s largest single data center.]
[On September 13, Meiyou Exhibition and Sales Center held another new product launch conference. 】
[Meyou press conference and Xingyi Technology’s blockbuster software are worth looking forward to. 】
…
As soon as these news came out, they once again caused an uproar.
The press conference has just been held and the press conference will be held again. Many people are full of expectations for the press conference on the 13th.
But Cook frowned slightly: "Will Xingyi Technology hold another press conference on September 13th?"
"What do you mean?"
"We are releasing iPhone 5 on the 13th! He actually held a press conference on the same day?"
"It's definitely intentional!"
"The visitor is evil!"
I heard that other senior executives also thought so.
On the same day, a press conference was held simultaneously, which is really thought-provoking.
"Is it possible that he is taking revenge on us?" The corner of Cook's mouth twitched.
Suddenly I remembered that Xingyi Technology was going to hold a press conference in the Imperial Capital. In order to steal the limelight, Cook suppressed Xingyi Technology and decisively arranged an Apple fan meeting on the same day in the Imperial Capital, and he appeared in person.
Although Apple lost miserably in the end and Cook left in despair, Xingyi Technology won a great victory.
Now that the situation has reversed, Apple is about to hold a new product launch conference for iPhone 5, and Wang Yi has also scheduled the new product launch conference on the 13th, which is indeed a bit of tit-for-tat.
Of course, the new product Wang Yi wants to release is not a mobile phone or a tablet, but Hanfu!
And a strategy software!
Hanfu Meiyou Technology has been in preparation for a long time, but it’s just too hot in June, July and August.
Girls all want to wear miniskirts every day. If they wear Hanfu, they can cover up prickly heat, and sales will not improve.
On the contrary, September, October, November and the following spring are the best sales periods for Hanfu.
If it were released in advance, sales would not be as good, and it would be easy for friends to copy it, so Wang Yi kept suppressing it and did not release it.
Until September 13th, it will be launched on the same day as Apple’s press conference!
As for whether it will steal Apple's limelight?
Wang Yi doesn't care.
But I guess it will.
Since the iPhone 4s was continuously beaten by the Xphone 1 and Xphone 1pro, the iPhone has fallen from the altar in Xiaguo.
In the past, the iPhone was a magic machine. Some people even took out loans, sold their kidneys, and sold themselves to buy iPhones...
But now, the iPhone has fallen off the altar, no longer has its aura and that allure.
Just like a wrong version of stamps, in the highlight moment, a wrong version of stamps can buy a house.
But once you fall off the altar, let alone a house, no one wants 100 yuan, and everyone even thinks that those who speculate on stamps are trendy.
The same goes for iPhone.
That night, when everyone was speculating on what would be announced at the press conference on the 13th, the news of the launch of "Nirvana in Fire" became a hot search topic!
["Nirvana in Fire" Xingyi video broadcast exclusively online, Jiang Zuo Meilang invites you to enjoy it. 】
[Turn your hands to become clouds, turn your hands to become rain. "Langya Bang" is launched on all four major TV stations...]
"Nirvana in Fire" was completed in June. Thanks to its strong quality, gripping plot, first-class star lineup, coupled with the 80 million S-level production, and the golden signature of Xingyi Media, it immediately became popular among major TV stations.
favor.
After several rounds of competition, Imperial TV, Lu Provincial TV, Dragon TV, and Shenzhen TV finally won the first round of broadcasting rights with a copyright fee of 70 million.
In this wave, Xingyi Media’s revenue was 280 million.
Coupled with the subsequent second and third rounds, there is no problem that the total copyright revenue will exceed 400 million.
In addition, Xingyi Video Network exclusively broadcast "Nirvana in Fire" and earned 150 million from the naming fee. Adding in subsequent advertising fees, 300 million is not a problem.
The membership income brought by "Nirvana in Fire" starts in the hundreds of millions.
It can be said that Wang Yi can earn more than one billion from "Nirvana in Fire" with an investment of 80 million.
This kind of hit drama has high profits.
But what Wang Yi values is taking advantage of the popularity of "Nirvana in Fire" to promote Hanfu!
The costumes worn by all the characters in the play are Hanfu carefully designed by Zhen You and Mei You!
As long as the show becomes popular, the Hanfu in it will definitely be out of the spotlight!
In order to achieve better advertising effect, Wang Yi also added some female supporting characters in the play, all with graceful figures and dressed in Zhenyou Hanfu.
There is no way, there are too few outstanding female characters in "Nirvana in Fire", Wang Yi can only add a few female NPC supporting actors to increase the appearance rate of Zhenyou in Hanfu without affecting the plot.
As expected, on the first day of broadcast, the ratings of "Nirvana in Fire" exploded, its reputation exploded, and it quickly became popular.
With the appearance of Princess Nihuang, Qin Banruo, the Zhenyou Hanfu she wore instantly attracted widespread attention.
The only difference is that male audiences are admiring the looks of Zhao Xiaodao and Zhao Xiaodao.
The female audience paid attention to the details and were directly amazed by the Hanfu worn by the two!
Without any surprise, the two people's outfits quickly made a difference.
Many fans even went to the Meiyou forum to post, causing heated discussions:
"The Hanfu worn by Princess Nihuang is so beautiful. I like it so much. Do you have a link to the same style? I'm fine with it under 2,000."
"This is definitely not the case. It's no accident. It was all carefully designed by the crew."
"That's right, the service of "Nirvana in Fire" is very good. At first glance, it doesn't appear to be an ordinary model. It must be specially designed."
"And Qin Banruo's outfit is also very beautiful. I want it!"
"Oh, I don't know where I can buy the same style. It's autumn, so it's suitable to wear Hanfu! Please ask the crew to come up with the same style and peripherals, I will definitely buy it!"
"Well, "Nirvana in Fire" was filmed by Xingyi Media. Xingyi Media and Meiyou are the same boss, so is the Hanfu in "Nirvana in Fire" made by Meiyou?"
"Hiss! It must be true. Sitting on the clothing giant Meiyou, Xingyi Media has no need to look far away. It must have entrusted Meiyou to design it."
"That's easy to say. Since the Hanfu is designed by Meiyou, will it be directly launched on Meiyou Mall? Meiyou, Zhenyou flagship store, specialty store, franchise store?"
"It's very possible. Don't forget, the Meiyou press conference in three days will release Hanfu, right? The same style as "Nirvana in Fire"?"
"It should be, hahaha, you can buy it then!"
Chapter completed!
