Rebirth: Dominate The World, Starting From The School Network

Chapter 353 Cloud Computing Boom, Are Online Articles Going Overseas?

After the Spring Festival.

Industry media report on cloud computing more frequently.

Many people in the industry joked that Lu Yi might actually become a martyr.

Those giants who followed him were really smart, but Lu Yi was like a fool in front of them to explore the way for these giants.

Lu Yi doesn't care at all about these short-sighted remarks.

Time will tell who is the fool and who is the wise man.

to be honest.

Seeing Microsoft and Gu Ge entering the field of cloud computing, Lu Yi is still a little stressed.

Fortunately, the other party only entered on a trial basis, rather than entering in a large scale like the Future Group.

after all.

Regardless of whether it is Microsoft or Gu Ge, their human and material resources are actually no worse than those of Future Group.

It can be said that Microsoft is far more powerful than Future Group, with a market value of two to three hundred billion meters, a global monopoly on Windows systems, and it is a local company in North America. These are advantages that Future Group does not have.

to be honest.

At this stage, the main service targets of cloud computing business are North America and Europe.

As for the domestic market, we have to wait a little longer.

If Microsoft and other North American giants make a big move into cloud computing, then an outsider like Microsoft will be in a weak position when competing with them.

Of course, this weakness is not reflected in technology.

But now these companies are tentatively investing. Microsoft, the number one Internet company and one of the top five giants in the world in terms of market value, has only invested 500 million yuan, which is less than Guge and Amazon. This makes Lu Yi slightly relaxed. 940 took a breath.

As these companies announce their entry into the field of cloud computing, the most favorable target is IBM.

If you want to play cloud computing, you need a server.

IBM is the world's largest server supplier.

Although there is Intel as a competitor, Intel's main product is semiconductors, and its core competitiveness in the server field is not as strong as IBM's.

Then you can see that after giants such as Gu Ge and Microsoft announced their entry into the field of cloud computing, IBM's stock price continued to skyrocket, and its market value also rose along with it.

In the fourth quarter of last year, with the help of Future Group's large orders, IBM's stock price continued to rise, and its market value exceeded 130 billion meters at the end of the year.

Now, the market value has exceeded 150 billion meters, becoming the company with the market value second only to Microsoft in the technology field, directly surpassing the top Intel.

no doubt.

If Amazon was the first to take advantage of cloud computing, then Lu Yi was the one who started the first wave of cloud computing craze.

If Lu Yi hadn't vigorously advocated cloud computing and invested heavily in it, even if Amazon promoted it vigorously, it would never have caused any splash.

Because Amazon and Bezos do not have as strong influence as Lu Yi.

But Lu Yi is different.

Because Lu Yi is currently a popular celebrity in the world, no one dares to ignore his every move, and his influence radiates around the world.

The title of son of the Internet is not just for bragging!

Therefore.

The head of IBM also sat down. In various public occasions, he supported Shishuan and made a series of remarks such as "Cloud computing and big data are the future of the Internet."

It's normal to blow like this.

Because of this cloud computing boom [the one who benefits the most is IBM.

If you want to play cloud computing, you need a server.

IBM is good at making servers.

then.

Orders are coming in like snowflakes. The more orders, the more money you make.

With performance support, even performance that far exceeds external expectations, can the stock price not skyrocket?

On the other side, Intel is also unable to sit still.

Although my server is not as good as yours, IBM, it is not far behind.

How could IBM eat such a large piece of meat alone?

then.

The head of Intel also supports cloud computing in various public occasions and also advertises his own services.

Don't say it.

Under this situation, some other companies have also announced their entry into cloud computing.

Although the investment is not that big, I just want to build a smaller one and follow the giants and drink some soup.

Time flies so fast, and it’s mid-April in a blink of an eye.

This time point is the time when the first quarter report of 2006 is concentrated.

Future Group did not hide it, and disclosed its first quarter financial report early.

Total revenue in the first quarter was 1.92 billion yuan, an increase of 97.7% year-on-year.

The advertising business and gaming business still account for the bulk of total revenue, accounting for 87% of total revenue.

Among them, the proportion of advertising business has declined compared with last year, while the proportion of game revenue has increased a lot.

Net profit in the first quarter was negative 588 million yuan.

The reason why it is negative is because there is too much business expenditure in cloud computing.

If the cloud computing business's expenses on purchasing servers, building data centers, and Jisou Search (ccff) are excluded, the net profit in the first quarter reached 819 million yuan.

It is obvious that since last year, Future Group's net profit has shown an upward trend every quarter, and its profitability is very stable.

After the first quarter financial report was disclosed, Future Group's stock price experienced a wave of continuous rises.

Since reaching a stage top in December last year, it has started a wave of technical corrections.

A double-bottom stabilizing pattern formed around the end of February this year, and then within a month and a half, a volatile upward trend emerged.

obviously.

In February, the institution had already completed its position building.

Obviously, institutions are very optimistic about the future group's first quarter financial report, so they are planning ahead.

Then the market fluctuated for a month and a half, and with the release of the financial report, there was another wave of accelerating upward trends, which was considered as a realization of the good news.

Ordinary people still don't understand that Future Group's net profit in the first quarter was negative, which is a bad news, but the stock price has been rising for several days.

But soon someone with understanding came forward to explain.

Because after excluding the losses in the cloud computing business, the net profit was as high as 819 million yuan.

And some business sectors that were originally losing money, such as music space and video space, are now making profits.

Although the profit is not much, it is actually making money. This is definitely good news.

If you don't break it down so finely, Future Group now includes cloud computing, and there are eight major sectors in total, including social networking, search, audio and video, Weibo, games, email and online literature.

Before this, the two most profitable areas were social networking and games, while other areas were operating at a loss.

But now, there is one more video player that is profitable.

As for online literature, the extent of losses is decreasing again, and the data reflected in the financial reports are very beautiful.

April 20th.

Lu Yi met Wu Wenhui, CEO of the Fantasy Literature Society, in the office.

Although Lu Yi has not intervened in the area of ​​online literature, he has always been very concerned about it.

He does not require fantasy literature to make any big profits.

His only goal is to export culture through the Fantasy Literature Society.

After one or two years of development, the Fantasy Literature Society is now a well-deserved leader in the industry, a sacred place of enlightenment in the minds of countless writers, and has more than 100,000 writers under its banner.

Of course.

Only about 1% can really make money.

And among the 1% of writers who earn royalties, only 1% stand at the top of the industry.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Although the threshold for the online writing industry is very low, there are very few people who can really stand out. Most people are just like a wave in the sea, passing away in a flash.

The online writing industry has a low threshold, but it is an industry that requires talent and perseverance.

If you don’t have talent, then you at least need perseverance, right?

As the saying goes, "The leftover is king." If you don't have talent and are unwilling to work hard, who can blame you if you can't make money?

Talent and perseverance, you must have one!

"Old Wu, the Fantasy Literature Society has developed very rapidly under your leadership in the past two years." Lu Yi said with a smile.

Wu Wenhui said modestly: "That's because of the leadership of Director Lu."

"Okay, no need to flatter you, I won't accept this.

"I'm telling the truth, you did a good job indeed, I fully recognize this, and you don't have to be modest.

"I called you here from Shanghai this time because I want to discuss with you the publishing of online articles overseas."

Lu Yi's words made Wu Wenhui's pupils shrink suddenly. .
