Chapter 323 The Customer Is God, And What We Have To Do Is To Satisfy God!
As the news media conference was held, the sky-high headquarters budget of 5.7 billion yuan also shocked the world.
As soon as the news spread, there was an uproar within and outside the industry.
They really can't figure out what this headquarters must look like to spend 5.7 billion yuan.
and.
And that's just the budget.
Obviously.
If the budget is exceeded during the construction of the headquarters building, additional funds will be added.
Everyone had to sigh, being rich means being willful, which is simply inhumane.
like..……
5.7 billion yuan is like drizzle to Future Group and Lu Yi.
Everyone really doesn’t understand how the Future Group’s board of directors approved this headquarters construction plan. Have they been kicked in the head?
But one thing is clear: Wall Street shareholders are absolutely unwilling to see Future Group spending such a large sum of money to build a headquarters building.
The money spent to build the headquarters building is also calculated into the company's operating costs. If the operating costs are high, the profits of shareholders will definitely be low, and even the net profit will become negative because of this large expenditure. Of course, shareholders are not willing to do this. have witnessed.
But there is no way.
Who gives Lu Yi absolute control over the company.
Even several executive directors on the board of directors are from Lu Yi's side.
Those shareholders on Wall Street can't even get involved.
017Faced with such a situation, what can Wall Street shareholders say?
Their objections were of no use. They could only curse Lu Yi in their hearts as a prodigal.
Wouldn't it be better to regard this money as profit and distribute it as dividends to shareholders like them?
The shareholders were not happy, but another group of people was very excited.
That is major construction contractors and architectural design firms around the world.
after all.
This is a big cake worth 5 billion yuan. The design plan of a headquarters building alone is worth 280 million yuan.
Who wouldn't want to take a bite?
Amidst the discussion from the outside world.
The time came on August 19th.
Today is the day when DNF conducts public testing in Dragon Kingdom.
As early as half a month ago, the relevant advertising campaign started.
For the game DNF, Lu Yi only obtained the domestic agency rights but not the overseas agency rights.
Because he knows very well that DNF is only very popular in China and Bangzi countries, but it has not caused any waves in Europe and the United States.
European and American players like to play novel and sensory-stimulating games, such as games such as "Bionics" and "Diablo".
Lu Yi understands what flavors European and American players like, and he will not spend money to be taken advantage of.
so.
As for DNF's promotional advertisements, there has been little movement outside the country.
Let others take care of this mine.
After half a month of publicity, domestic players are still looking forward to DNF.
Therefore, during the open beta period, the data was very good and the feedback from players was also very good.
Of course.
There will be some sunspots in this, but it won't make any waves at all.
Time flies and it’s after the National Day.
North America, Amon Krypton City, IBM headquarters.
"Oh my God! Holy Virgin Mary, are you sure this is not a joke? Does your company really want to purchase 1.5 million servers?"
IBM CEO Samuel Palmino was completely confused at the moment.
He looked at Lu Qi in front of him, his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, looking as if he had seen a ghost and couldn't believe it.
He was really shocked by what Lu Qi just said.
Lu Qi immediately said 1.5 million servers, and he thought he was hallucinating.
What is Future Group going to do and need so many servers?
"Of course, Mr. Palmino, do you think I would come all the way to tease you?" Lu Qi said with a smile.
"Mr. Lucci, please forgive me, because I am really shocked."
After hearing Lu Qi's words, Samuel Palmino took a deep breath and calmed down his expression.
"Does your company want to build a large data center?"
Confirming that Lu Qi was not joking, Samuel Palmino became eager.
A huge order of 1.5 million servers worth 2.25 billion yuan.
If this contract is negotiated, it may be the largest single transaction in the history of I(ccfj)BM.
"That's right."
"We plan to build 12 large data centers around the world by the end of next year to serve the company's cloud computing business," Luqi said.
There is nothing to hide, and it is impossible to hide it.
Again.
Just saying what to do, how to do it, and why to do it are business secrets and there is no comment.
Even if it is a hand-copied assignment, how can I copy it if I don’t know the content?
"cloud computing?"
When he heard this new term, Samuel Palmino was confused.
Never heard of it at all!
"This is a new concept proposed by Director Lu at an internal meeting. It is a further description of the 'network is a computer' proposed by Sun Microsystems," Lu Qi said with a smile.
He did not hesitate to explain these insignificant concepts to Samuel Palmino.
After listening to Lu Qi's explanation, Samuel Palmino's eyes moved: "In July and August this year, Amazon proposed the 'elastic computing cloud'. The so-called cloud computing should be similar to the elastic computing cloud."
"No! The difference here is still huge." Lu Qi shook his head and said: "Mr. Palmino, I wonder if IBM can take such a large order?"
"Of course! Our company can definitely absorb it. Mr. Luqi doesn't have any doubt about this." Palmino Samuel said loudly.
Even if you can't eat such a large order, you still have to say that you can eat it at this time.
At worst, we can just expand production later!
If you say you can't eat it, that's really stupid!
If he said he couldn't eat it, Intel would definitely laugh out loud.
"Mr. Palmino, we need your company to build the servers we need according to our needs." Lucci said.
"this.....…"
These words directly made Samuel Palmino hesitate.
Building servers based on the needs of the future group will definitely increase additional research and development costs, and the time is still very tight, so further investment will inevitably be required.
As a result, their profits will decrease.
Of course.
Although the profit will be reduced, he will agree to it.
After all, it was a super big order worth 2.25 billion meters of gold. Even if they increased investment and increased production costs, they still made a lot of money. They just wanted to maximize their profits.
"Mr. Palmino, if your company cannot meet our requirements, then we have no choice but to talk to Intel." Lu Qi saw Samuel Palmino's embarrassed look and said directly.
"no!no!no!"
When Samuel Palmino heard this, he immediately said anxiously: "We agree! It's absolutely okay! The customer is God, and what we have to do is to satisfy God!"
joke!
If this order is lost, he will definitely be kicked out of the company by the board of directors!
