Chapter 357: Being Choked By Old Mika, Future Group Is Not In A Hurry, But Ibm Is.
After handing over the matter to Wu Wenhui, Lu Yi stopped taking care of it.
He believed that Wu Wenhui and the others could get things done.
now.
In the CEO office, Lu Yi is thinking.
He is wondering whether to launch WeChat payment a few years in advance and let QR codes spread all over the Dragon Kingdom.
The first generation of pinnacle mobile phones will be released at the end of the year. This is a smartphone that will redefine smartphones.
However, after thinking about it, Lu Yi decided not to launch WeChat payment for the time being.
After all, this time is too early.
Launching WeChat Pay is not as simple as publishing an online article overseas.
This involves the interests of several major banks.
This is not the era of mobile Internet yet.
If we launch WeChat Pay now to grab business from banks, banks will definitely not be willing to do so, and we will have to wait.
Didn’t you see that the launch of Ahri’s Wealth Treasure is also very difficult?
It is better to let Zhifu Bao take the lead first, and then take a ride and launch WeChat payment after the resistance is less.
Boom boom.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Lu Qi walked in and said, "Director Lu, Lao Mi has encountered a little trouble."
"Oh? What's the trouble?" Lu Yi asked with raised eyebrows.
"The Laomi authorities blocked our application and rejected our application to build four data centers in North America on the grounds of data security," Lu Qi said.
Lu Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard the news.
However, there was not much fluctuation in his heart, just a little surprised.
What's going on?
It started to choke him so quickly!
Although Lu Yi thought that he would face suppression and sanctions from the Lao Mi authorities, he did not expect it to be so soon.
"The old rice authorities are too..."
Lu Yi doesn’t know how to describe it.
Lu Qi said: "According to rumors, when the number of Face users in the United States exceeded 100 million, the Lao Mi authorities were eyeing us. At that time, they were planning how to kill us.
"But it's Director Lu who has the foresight to split the various sections directly into domestic and international versions before going public. The relevant data is also stored locally, so Lao Mi can't catch it."
"In addition, there are huge interests of Wall Street behind this. It is now difficult for the Laomi authorities to start with the business that we have already entered, so they are focusing on the data center."
No matter how big a company is, it cannot compete with a country, especially if it is on someone else's territory.
The most important thing is that Laomi is a country that does not follow moral rules at all, so it is even more important to be careful everywhere and be cautious in everything.
The Lao Mi authorities are now staring at the Future Group and are trying to figure out how to kill the Future Group.
As long as the slightest mistake is not made, it will be magnified and used by Lao Mi as an excuse for sanctions.
Even, this does not rule out the possibility of fishing law enforcement, which is also Lao Mi's best method.
Obviously, Lu Yi, who was experienced, had long been on guard against Lao Mi's secret moves, so from the beginning he brought in influential institutions on Wall Street as a protective umbrella.
Wall Street is a place that only looks at profits and nothing else.
If the Future Group can bring them enough benefits, then everything that blocks their profits will be crushed by them.
"Although I had long thought that such a day would come, I didn't expect that the Lao Mi authorities would be so considerate of themselves, and now they are starting to get stuck, so what?" Lu Yi said speechlessly.
Lu Qi added: "You may not believe it, but when the Laomi authorities announced this decision yesterday, the company's stock price rose instead of falling, rising by about 3%, pulling out a Zhongyang line."
These words almost made Lu Yi's jaw hit the ground.
He immediately reacted and said with a smile: "So, the market and investors are really not optimistic about our cloud computing."
Because the Laomi authorities did not approve it, Future Group's four large data centers in North America could not be built, which meant that the investment in cloud computing was reduced by one-third. No wonder the stock price has soared.
Because in the eyes of the market and investors, if the data center cannot be built, the group will save hundreds of millions of dollars in losses in the future.
"yes!"
Lu Qi also nodded and smiled: "Contrary to us, IBM's stock price fell by 2.3%, and its market value evaporated by more than 3 billion meters.
If the Future Group cannot build a data center in North America, the order of IBM servers will naturally decrease.
To know.
A large data center with 100,000 servers and four servers equals 400,000 servers.
Without the Future Group deal, IBM would have lost at least hundreds of millions of dollars in profit. How could the stock price not fall?
"Then it's Samuel Palmino who should be worried."
"They should be more anxious than us, because they are the biggest profiteers. Without our orders, profits will be reduced by at least hundreds of millions of dollars, not to mention that our subsequent investment will be hundreds of billions."
The most important thing is that it was not us who breached the contract for this reason, but IBM, and it was impossible for them to compensate us for billions of dollars in liquidated damages because of this. "
"Let's wait and see how IBM solves this matter."
"They have taken so many benefits, so naturally they have to do something."
Lu Yi said.
To be honest, they are really not in a hurry.
And he also believes that once this news comes out, IBM CEO Samuel Palmino will never be able to sit still, and he will definitely try his best to lobby the Laomi authorities to let it go.
Lu Yi also believes that IBM can solve this problem.
Because IBM's shareholders include the interests of giants such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan, and Buffett.
The better IBM's performance, the more they can earn.
after all.
Whose interests are at heart?
As Lu Yi said.
As soon as the news came out, Samuel Palmino couldn't sit still and immediately started running.
He made several trips to Wall Street to meet with the heads of Goldman Sachs and Morgan.
With his own strength, it will be very difficult for the Laomi authorities to release the Future Group, but with the addition of Goldman Sachs, Morgan and other institutions, it will be much smaller
no doubt.
Because both Future Group and IBM have interests in it, both Goldman Sachs and Morgan have given their support.
at the same time.
Yu Chengdong came to Future Group at this time and visited Lu Yi.
Now Yu Chengdong is the CEO of Pangu Semiconductor and is basically based in Sioux City.
When Yu Chengdong came, he didn't hide it and directly stated his intention.
He is here on behalf of the flower factory.
Specifically, they are doing business on behalf of the watch flower factory.
Huachang is also in the server business. In 2001, it released its first carrier-grade blade server.
Of course.
Huachang's server business is definitely far from being comparable to IBM.
Because Huachang has only been making servers for a few years, and its technology and foundation cannot compare with IBM and Intel.
The Future Group has invested heavily in cloud computing and requires a large number of servers. Their flower factory is also very greedy.
In particular, Future Group signed a huge server order with IBM, which made the flower factory even more uneasy.
Now that the Future Group is being suppressed in North America, CEO Ren makes a quick decision and asks Yu Chengdong to come to Lu Yi to see if he can give orders to the flower factory to support the flower factory's server business.
However, the servers currently launched by Huachang are only for the company's own telecommunications business, and have not really provided servers to external parties, especially to Internet companies.
As for the data center cloud server, there is not even a shadow here. .
