Global Monopoly of Technology

Chapter 172: [Strategic cooperation]

, The latest chapter in the latest global monopoly of technology!

Zhang Bowen whispered in his heart. After a while, Samuel Palmisano watched the other side and asked, "Your company is planning to be in the cloud ... Oh yes, the field of cloud computing is big, this should not be the final investment Scale, right? "

Strange to say, Palmisano was a little confused. Why did Luo Sheng and Jeff Bezos favor cloud computing so much?

Amazon also said that in the past, Bluestar Technology has played so much, obviously it is extremely convinced that this concept, which has been born for nearly two decades, has great potential.

The question is, the concept of more than 20 years ago, is still the case today, really promising?

In case, if it is still a bird in 20 years, most of Bluestar Technology Group will cry.

It's crazy to look at such a large investment in an area that is not yet clear.

But what does Samuel Palmisano think it has to do with IBM? If you have money, you won't make a fool.

Zhang Bowen laughed: "It's not concealed, it is really not the final investment. In the future, we will continue to invest in building a data center. No accident is expected for at least five to ten years or even longer, and the average investment is the same every year."

Oh my God! !!

When Samuel Palmisano heard this sentence, the whole man was dull.

After ten years of continuous investment, does that mean that Bluestar Technology Group intends to invest here, and if IBM can become its partner, it can earn more than 30 billion US dollars from this company?

At this moment, Samuel Palmisano watched Zhang Bowen with a smile on his face. The CEO of the IBM company at the moment was fluttering, but he was still very calm on the surface.

"Are you sure this is not a joke?"

Samuel Palmisano couldn't help but ask again, trying to confirm again and again.

"It's true that we can sign a strategic agreement with a USD 3 billion liquidated penalty." Zhang Bowen responded with affirmation once again. When he came to talk to IBM people, Luo Sheng explained it and signed the other party boldly. Bluestar Technology is not afraid. On the contrary, after five to ten years, North American authorities thanked them for not intervening.

At that time, it was IBM that breached the contract.

sign!

Must sign!

At this moment, Samuel Palmisano yelled, this company is so crazy that it can't be rejected at all, Madfak.

The emergence of large data centers has undoubtedly given IBM the opportunity. Samuel Palmisano is really anxious to give Luo Sheng the rhythm of such demand.

However, it is not unreasonable for Bluestar Technology Group to disclose some important strategic layouts to each other. Naturally, it is to make IBM pay more attention to this cooperation and care about other conditions.

After a while, Zhang Bowen said: "This is a very large-scale cooperation project. IBM must cooperate with the relevant cooperation matters of Bluestar Technology Group. Once the contract is signed, the two parties will start on North American university campuses one month later. Including Berkeley, MIT, Stanford, Harvard, Cambridge, Oxford, Göttingen, and more to promote plans for cloud computing services. "

As for colleges and universities in the Mainland, IBM does not need to be involved.

Bowen Zhang added: "The purpose of this is to reduce the academic research costs of distributed computing. We can provide relevant software and hardware equipment and technical support for these universities, including a large number of personal computers, support including Linux, Xen Open source platforms such as Hadoop and Hadoop, students can develop various large-scale computing-based research programs through the network, and we can provide corresponding funding. "

Zhang Bowen added: "Our regional influence is relatively weak, and Bluestar has no basis in North America. As a long-term strategic partner, there are some obstacles in the market. IBM must come forward and settle."

At the end, Samuel Palmisano nodded without hesitation, and responded: "No problem, everything is okay, and it should be the case. After all, if your company runs smoothly, IBM can get more orders and profits. Then ... … Let's talk about the specific contract signing. "

...

Zhang Bowen stayed at IBM for three days. Even though this contract was fully prepared when it came, it must be carefully signed when it was actually signed.

This is true for Bluestar Technology, as is IBM.

After all this is not a small number.

If something goes wrong, either side will hurt its muscles.

However, Bluestar Technology is not vegetarian, and its legal team is powerful.

In the end, this strategic cooperation agreement was successfully signed on April 6. IBM held a temporary media conference on the next day, and officially disclosed some of the content of this cooperation to the outside world.

The specific cooperation was not disclosed, mainly because it disclosed the contract matters related to the first batch of purchase orders of Bluestar Technology Group.

Valued at USD 3.052 billion, purchased 2.07 million sets of servers.

Both Bowen Zhang and Samuel Palmisano, head of IBM, attended the conference.

...

In the afternoon of April 8, the headquarters of the Cote d'Azur company.

"You have made a big splash in March, and you just grabbed the headlines in April." Qin Weimu came to Luo Sheng's office, and incidentally brought a paper newspaper to his desk.

This is a financial news report. Luo Shengshun picked it up and glanced at it. The front page headline was related to Bluestar Technology Group.

[Luo Sheng proposed the concept of "cloud computing"? Bluestar Technology Group officially announced a strategic partnership with IBM, and officially signed a server contract worth US $ 3,052 million for the construction of a large data center. This is the first major move by Bluestar Technology since its IPO. 】

[But the market is not optimistic. Once the news was disclosed, Bluestar Technology's stock fell sharply. It fell 3.59% on the day, and 2.8 billion US dollars evaporated, equivalent to 22.5 billion yuan. On April 7, Blue Star Technology closed with a total market value of $ 75 billion and was again overtaken by Apple with a market value of $ 75.3 billion. 】

Luo Sheng watched for a while and tossed the newspaper aside, looking at Qin Weimu and saying, "Has the offshore trust fund been done?"

Qin Weimu nodded: "Well, at present, 1.032 billion US dollars has been transferred to the offshore fund. All of them are cash flows. At present, they are all cash flows. They are preparing to buy Bluestar Technology stock."

After hearing this, Luo Sheng snapped his fingers and said immediately, "Don't worry, let the stock fall for a while, and then buy it again."

Qin Weimu couldn't help but hesitated for a moment, and Luo Sheng muttered to himself: "It's on the 16th, right, I started to buy on the 16th, and all of them were bought this year. The report for the first quarter has been published and has not yet been announced. It will be officially disclosed on the 17th or 18th, and it may be a different landscape by then. "

Wen Yan Qin Weimu nodded: "Okay, I know."

Regarding the company's market value fluctuations, Luo Sheng did not have any worries at all, but was a good thing. He could buy a little more while taking advantage of the decline.

What is the situation with the company, and who knows better than his head?

Qin Weimu went to work ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Luo Sheng picked up the newspaper and took a look at the follow-up content. The head of IBM supported the cloud computing and praised Bluestar Technology to build a data center. It's a visionary thing.

Luo Sheng saw this paragraph in the article, he didn't believe the bad old man of Samuel Palmisano.

This was definitely not his true idea at the time, or even against it. It was just a large order contract. As a partner, it was also related to IBM's profit. It naturally jumped out to advocate big data and cloud computing services for the Blue Star technology platform. the concept of.

In fact, IBM itself is still a little confused. Cloud computing is definitely feasible, but if it takes a long time to achieve, in other words, it does not have realistic conditions. As a company, we must consider Reality.

However, Samuel Palmisano can ignore this, and let the internal people do the topic discussions. Just blow it out and talk about it, and earn the money in front of you. This is a tangible profit. Yet.

As for being beaten in the face, he was slapped in the face. Anyway, IBM made a lot of money.
