Rebirth: Dominate The World, Starting From The School Network

Chapter 307 A Conservative Estimate Of Investment Is 500 Billion. The Data Center Is A Money-Burning

The meeting is still going on.

After Lu Yi’s explanation, everyone has realized the importance of big data and cloud computing to the future group.

Once the company loses the initiative over data, then as far as the group is concerned, all the brilliant achievements it has made now will become castles in the air, and may even turn from prosperity to decline one day in the future, leading to collapse and destruction.

"Most of the 7.2 billion meters raised in this IPO will be used to build our global data center. The money raised in the next two to three rounds of financing will also be invested in this."

"Only by building our data moat, will the group be truly invincible in the future and remain unshakable no matter how hard the wind blows."

Lu Yi said.

after.

Lu Yi spent almost an hour explaining big data, cloud computing and data centers to everyone present in detail, because he found that everyone regarded the three as the same product or concept.

After repeating it several times and giving many examples, everyone was able to clarify the relationship between the three.

Although they sound similar, there are actually significant differences between the three.

Cloud computing is a public resource of information and a technical solution. This technology can be used to solve a series of infrastructure construction needs such as computers, storage, and databases.

Big data is an application in the context of the Internet and is a very important application scenario of cloud computing.

The data center is a complex set of hardware facilities and is the root of cloud computing.

The three are closely connected, but they are obviously different.

After clarifying the differences between the three, Lu Yi began to talk about the layout of the data center.

On the PPT, there is a world map.

At this moment, many red dots appeared on the map.

"According to my plan, we will build 200 data centers in the future, which will be built in more than ten countries around the world, distributed in three continents: Asia, America and Europe." Lu Yi said.

Everyone looked at the PPT picture. The countries marked on it include the Dragon Country, the Island Country, the New Lion Country, the Australian Island Country, the Eagle Country, the American Country, the Wooly Bear Country, and the Brazilian Rhinoceros.

As for the city to choose, there are more.

Of course, there are six major principles for data center construction site selection.

Geographic location: the probability and frequency of natural disasters at alternative locations (floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.); environmental hazard factors (the extent to which the data center affects the environment where it is located); and climate factors (the climate of the alternative location for the data center) Is there free outside air cooling).

Electricity energy supply: Electricity or power is also one of the very important factors.

Communication infrastructure: Communication issues in data centers are also one of the most important components.

Tax rates: Another important aspect is the issue of government tax rates in alternative locations.

Construction factors: When building a data center in any given location, construction costs also play an important role.

Transportation: The availability of various transportation modes is also one of the influencing factors in data center location selection.

Cost of living: The cost of living in the data center location should also be an important factor in enterprise data center location selection.

"200 data centers are distributed in 22 regions around the world. They are in six major cities in China: Suzhou City, Heyuan, Nantong, Guicheng, Zhongdu, and Zhangbei. In foreign countries, they are...

Lu Yi stated methodically.

Lu Qi and the others were all dumbfounded.

Good guy.

It turns out that Lu Yi has already arranged everything well, and all he needs to do is execute it step by step.

They had previously thought that Lu Yi was just proposing a strategy, and then they needed to come up with specific plans based on the requirements.

It turns out they underestimated Lu Yi.

All detailed plans have been made, including where the data center will be built.

"Oh my God, 200 data centers!"

"How much will this cost?"

"Even if a data center requires 10,000 servers, and one server costs 10,000 yuan, the hardware cost of a data center will be about 150 million.

“In addition to purchasing equipment, building monitoring systems, ventilation systems, fire protection systems, wiring systems, etc. also requires hiring professional companies to complete, and a single wiring system often costs tens or millions.

“Once these systems are installed they require specialized maintenance.”

"The most important thing is that the electricity bill is frightening. The electricity bill for a day is about 100,000, and the electricity bill alone is as high as 36 million for a year. Obviously, the larger the data center, the higher the electricity bill."

"In order to provide cloud services, you also need to pay broadband operators, which is about 100,000 yuan/Gb/month for display access, which is hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of expenses.

"In addition to the above, land use costs, data center construction costs, etc., even if we calculate it based on 100 million."

"If you add up the above expenditures, it will cost at least 500 million yuan to build a data center."

"200 data centers would cost 100 billion yuan!"

And this is calculated based on domestic prices. The venue and labor costs abroad are much higher than domestic ones, at least 50 billion more on the basis of 100 billion.

"Moreover, equipment needs to be constantly updated. The service life of general equipment in data centers is only five years. According to the current data growth, these equipment will be obsolete in less than five years, and a large amount of money will be spent to purchase and install new ones." equipment. "

"The data center is a money-burning machine!"

After hearing Lu Qi's words, everyone present was stunned, and then they all looked at Lu Yi.

"Ahem.

Lu Yi coughed twice and said, "What Lao Lu said is a bit conservative."

"In my opinion, a data center with 10,000 servers can only be regarded as a small data center. If the 200 data centers we build are all small data centers like this, where will it be enough?"

"According to my plan, the data centers built in developed countries will start out large, with 100,000 servers at the beginning. Medium-sized data centers will have at least 50,000 servers, and small data centers will start at 10,000 servers."

"And in my plan, we will build at least five world-class super data centers in the future... Ahem, according to my conservative estimate, at the end of the day, 500 billion yuan should be invested in them. !”

boom!

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts trembled.

Good guy.

When they felt that 150 billion was already a sky-high investment, Lu Yi directly said that a conservative estimate would be 500 billion.

Lu Yi obviously saw that these people were frightened, and said instead: "Don't think that the investment of 500 billion is high, and it is not like spending so much money at once."

"The span of this project is ten to twenty years. By 2020, "the construction of 200 data centers will definitely be completed."

"Although the investment is large, everyone should also be aware that the rewards will be very generous."

Regarding Lu Yi, Lu Qi and the others felt that Lu Yi was trying to paint a bigger picture for them. This is what Lu Yi is best at.

But somehow, after they were shocked, their hearts were filled with excitement.

A massive investment of 500 billion yuan was invested in Ah Garden.

Just thinking about it makes me excited!
