Entrepreneurship show: Backhanded acquisition of judges' company

Chapter 66 Throw the server into the lake!
Entrepreneurship is like a ship, sailing alone in the boundless sea.

The helmsman and sailors work together to keep the ship stable in the wind and waves, while the captain guides the way forward and reaches the final destination.

The pressure on the captain is the greatest. On the sea with no reference, he can make decisions based on his own judgment. No one knows whether there are hidden reefs ahead or whether there will be a storm tomorrow.

Lin Yan is currently playing the role of the captain of the big ship chasing dreams.

In the conference room, the company's management and project director Hu Hongbo, Wang Tianlong, Mihayou Liu Wei, etc. were waiting for Lin Yan to guide the direction.

Lin Yan glanced at everyone, and then teased: "The atmosphere is a bit dignified, no confidence?"

"There are a lot of questions before us though."

Liu Kang, the company's chief financial officer, spoke first.

"Okay, let's talk about the problems we encountered next."

Lin Yan said that he knew that the company's current general direction was right, but there were still many invisible problems that had not been resolved.

I was busy with expansion before, but now I am free, and I have to solve it, otherwise it will be useless to expand the company, just like a high-rise building without a foundation, it will collapse at any time.

Chief Financial Officer Liu Kang said: "The first thing we face is the server problem, which puts too much pressure on finances. If the endless expansion continues, the company will be overwhelmed by the server cost alone."

Mention this.

Everyone at the table nodded slightly.

Recently, with the rapid development of Pinxixi, everyone has discovered this problem.

"Okay, let's start with this problem." Lin Yan looked at Hu Hongbo and said, "Mr. Hu, you are the project director of Pinxixi. Please report the server situation."

Hu Hongbo nodded. He had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but he never found the right time to raise it.

He picked up the information in his hand and reported:
"Boss Lin, currently Pinxixi's daily activity has reached 1000 million.

The number of products uploaded on the platform is also increasing day by day, with an average growth rate of 1 types of products per day. Currently, there are 200 million active users, and our server is already overwhelmed.

According to this amount of data, I have calculated that for every 5000 additional users, we need to add one more server.

Just renting a server is not enough for us.

Now the rented server has reached a critical point, and there is a possibility of crashing at any time.

If you want to build a server yourself, the current price of a server is almost 80, not including the cost of building it.

According to this growth rate, our expenditure on servers alone will be hundreds of millions of yuan in one year. "

Done.

Everyone was silent.

This set of data is somewhat shocking.

Dream Chaser is like a sports car on the track. It is very fast, but the engine is already red. If you step on the gas a few more times, it will start to smoke, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Everyone did not expect that the most urgent obstacle to the growth of Dream Chaser is not the game in the market or policy changes, but the bottleneck of IT infrastructure.
"Alibaba Group, do you have the same problem?" Lin Yan asked.

"If nothing else, yes."

"I remember that Alibaba Group is working on Alibaba Cloud, and is planning to use cloud servers to solve this problem?" Lin Yan said with a frown.

When Hu Hongbo raised this question, Lin Yan remembered that in 2008, Ali had realized that with the growth of business, the server was not enough.

So the project of the cloud computer system named "Feitian" was officially launched, with Wang Jian leading the team.

Hu Hongbo replied: "It is true that Wang Jian of Ali established a cloud computer research project, but we all think that is a liar, and cloud computing is impossible to succeed."

At the recent IT summit forum in 2010, Ma Yun mentioned Alibaba Cloud.

At the meeting, Li Yanhong of Qiandu said directly: "Cloud computing is bluntly said, it is old wine in new bottles, and there is nothing new."

Penguin's galloping horse also said in public: "It seems too early now, it may take hundreds of years, and thousands of years later, it is indeed possible to reach the age of Avatar."

In short.

Everyone thought cloud computing was impossible.

However, it succeeded in 2012.

"Alibaba Cloud will succeed!"

Lin Yan affirmed, but he felt a little pity that there is only one Wang Jian in this world.

He successfully implemented the cloud computer system.Build the underlying computer system, schedule 5000 servers at the same time, and connect all the servers in series.
"This is also one of the reasons why I want to acquire Ali Group. It does have its own advantages."

Thinking of this, Lin Yan became more determined to acquire Ali.

[Shock value from Wang Tianlong +999]

[Shock value +999 from Hu Hongbo]

[Shock value from Liu Kang +20]

[Shock value +999 from Liu Wei]

Everyone thought it was impossible. Why did Mr. Lin think he would succeed? People who knew technology were even more shocked.

"Next, we will pursue our dreams to build our own server."

Lin Yan ordered.

Considering that there are still many projects to be launched later, such as WeChat, such as League of Legends.
Server expansion is imperative and is the first problem to be solved.

Liu Kang, the deputy director of finance, was very puzzled: "Mr. Lin, the current accounting situation of our company."

Lin Yan waved his hand with a smile, and then began to control the mobile phone online banking.

Convert the shock value of 4 million yuan into a venture fund of 40 billion yuan.

Enter the company account.

【Host: Lin Yan】

[Entrepreneurship Fund: 45.9 billion yuan]

【Profit: 0.00】

【Personal funds: 1001100.00】

[Shock value: 0]

"Okay." Lin Yan continued: "Old Liu, you can go to the company account again."

Liu Kang was taken aback.

Then he walked out of the meeting room and went to the computer to check.

He came back a few minutes later with a shocked expression on his face.

"Are you all right now?"

"No problem!"

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Is this another investment?
Liu Kang laughed straight: "Boss Lin has brought in another 40 billion investment."

hiss~
Everyone gasped.

Pinxixi has already burned 30 billion yuan, and now another 40 billion yuan has come.

This pen is too big.

No wonder Mr. Lin rejected Ali Group's investment request.

Money always cheers people up.

In the conversation that followed in the meeting, there was a heated discussion around the server.

Lin Yan didn't speak the whole time, and he didn't know much about this aspect.

The task of server installation fell on Liu Zhengwei, the second department of the project.

He is also considered capable, and Lin Yan can trust him.

However, in the end, Lin Yan still put forward his own opinion: "This server is built in the lake."

Hiding a server is a technical job.

In 2018, Microsoft sank its servers into the ocean.

The Penguin Group hid the server in the cave.

Warwick, soak the server in the oil.

The purpose of doing this is to cool down the server and reduce costs.

In fact, the server is simply a computer, which is used to process data and calculate power.

Because it is open all year round, the biggest problem in the server room is the fan heat problem, which consumes a lot of money.

For the servers of large enterprises, the electricity bill for fan heating alone may be as high as tens of millions or hundreds of millions a year.

It wasn't until many years later that large enterprise companies tried to use the magic of nature to cool servers.

Lin Yan, this can be regarded as leading the times.

But the rest of the conference room didn't understand the situation at all.

"Build the server in the lake? Mr. Lin, is this really okay?"

Liu Zhengwei, who was in charge of building the server, was full of question marks, and felt that this was too unbelievable.

"As long as you succeed, how much money can you save Dream Chasing Company every year?" Lin Yan encouraged: "Go for it bravely! I believe in you!"

Liu Zhengwei nodded, thinking that fanning the server was an old problem.

If the temperature of the lake water is used to naturally fan the server
TM's seem to be okay?
