My Age of Investment

Chapter 1213: ready

   Chapter 1213 Ready to go

  Wang Jianyi holds three positions, vice president of cloud and smart industry business group, vice president of Fuxing China Research Institute, and CEO of Fuxing Cloud Computing Co., Ltd.

   The first two are almost empty positions, just in name. Wang Jian's main energy is devoted to the research and development and technical research of Fuxing Cloud.

  Xia Jingxing looked at Wang Jian with a smile, his eyes full of expectations, and asked, "Dr. Wang, it's almost a year since our cloud computing project was established at the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

   I heard that you and your team have been in the lab all day for nearly a year, doing research and development day and night.

   Pay more attention to your body, the body is the capital of the revolution, don't let yourself be exhausted.

   Are there still shortages of manpower and R&D funds? If there is a shortage, you can directly raise it with CFO Deng Yuanjun and CHO Liu Wenjuan, and ask them to fill it for you. "

  Wang Jian originally thought that Xia Jingxing was here to ask for his guilt, so he was ready to be criticized.

   But he never expected that Xia Jingxing would come up with a warm welcome, and he very thoughtfully proposed to strengthen the team's manpower and R&D funds.

   This made Wang Jianzheng no longer, and all the rhetoric that he had prepared were all discarded by him.

  Wang Jian was a little moved, and then he felt ashamed for a while, feeling that he had failed President Xia's high hopes.

   "Mr. Xia... The development of cloud computing projects is slow, and I personally have to take the main responsibility!"

  Wang Jian did not escape, but stood up bravely and took responsibility for himself.

   Hearing this, Shen Xiangyang knew something was wrong, he immediately glanced at Xia Jingxing anxiously, seeing that the latter's face really turned dark, Shen Xiangyang's heart sank to the bottom.

  Shen Xiangyang and Wang Jian have worked together at Microsoft for many years, and know that Wang Jian is not very good at speaking. In other words, he is not smooth enough. .

   He was worried that Wang Jian would go straight and go straight, and that the unadorned work report would anger Xia Jingxing. After all, cloud computing was one of the projects that the group invested the most in research and development.

  In terms of R&D investment alone, cloud computing projects are second only to a few businesses such as revival mobile phones and semiconductors.

   Now Wang Jian flutters out the sentence "R&D progress is slow, I take responsibility", how can he satisfy the boss.

  The other executives around Wang Jian also looked at Wang Jian a little strangely, thinking that this old man was a bit stubborn, and he really fooled President Xia into an ordinary young man.

As far as they know, the dual-currency financing of more than 12 billion yuan completed by Fuxing Industry at the beginning of this year, the bulk of which, that is, 1 billion US dollars, has not a cent left, and all of it has been allocated to the research institute and cloud and wisdom Business Group.

   Among them, the research and development funds that fall on cloud computing alone account for a full half, and other key scientific research projects such as artificial intelligence and Internet of Things will share another 500 million US dollars.

   And the other 5 billion yuan in financing, 1.25 billion yuan for the first phase of the Yizhuang headquarters project, 1 billion yuan for the Fuxing Building construction project in Haiding, and the remaining 2 billion yuan was allocated to the home appliance and energy business group.

   In terms of investment in research and development, cloud computing projects may be slightly less than consumer electronics and semiconductors, but in terms of obtaining group funding, cloud computing and the entire cloud and intelligence business group are the ones with the most.

   Do a comparison.

   With the matching loan provided by the government, the construction of Fuxing Building and the first phase of the headquarters only consumed a total of two billion cash.

   And the cloud computing project invested a full 500 million US dollars, equivalent to 3.5 billion yuan.

   On one side are real buildings, land and other fixed assets, which can be seen and touched;

The    side is a string of code that doesn't come in handy yet.

  This cloud computing project seems like a bottomless pit?

   The executives had different thoughts, and they all began to worry that Xia was not being fooled by Wang Jian, a psychology doctor who could not code.

  Xia Jingxing was keenly aware of the suspicious glances that the executives cast towards Wang Jian, and secretly felt amused in his heart.

In the previous life, before Wang Jian led Aliyun to achieve a major technological breakthrough, Ali's executives were the same as those of Fuxing Industry. They suspected Wang Jian in all kinds of ways, believing that he was a big fool and a big parallel importer, who fooled the boss Jack Ma every year. Invested 1 billion yuan, but nothing came out.

   With this money, add some IBM minicomputers and Oracle databases, isn't it delicious?

   In the end, when Wang Jian made the first cloud computing in Asia, after responding to all the doubts, he immediately received numerous honors and was successfully elected as an academician.

   When the reporter interviewed Wang Jian afterwards, when he mentioned the difficult years of cloud computing research and development, Wang Jian burst into tears several times.

   At that time, the whole company ridiculed and questioned him. Only Jack Ma was willing to believe him and gave him huge material support and spiritual inspiration, otherwise he might not be able to persevere.

   Jack Ma does not understand technology, and he made many missed decisions in the process of starting a business, but the most correct decision he made was to unswervingly believe in Wang Jianhe to invest heavily in cloud computing.

  Ali's brilliant success in cloud computing has gotten rid of the inherent imprint of the outside world that "Ari does not understand technology", and has also made Aliyun stand at the forefront of world technology on behalf of Chinese technology.

   Xia Jingxing will naturally not question Wang Jian, and he will invest more firmly in cloud computing than Jack Ma, making Fuxingyun more successful and go further than Aliyun.

  Jackma invests 1 billion RMB a year, then he invests 500 million US dollars a year, and then it will become 1 billion US dollars, 2 billion US dollars ... double the investment.

   He is not worried about the wrong technology and track, but is a little worried that investing too much money will make Wang Jian and his team feel that life is too comfortable, and thus lose that enterprising spirit.

  Xia Jingxing's complexion kept changing, and he decided that it would be better to know more clearly, and not to waste the team just because it was too easy to spend money.

   "Dr. Wang, cloud computing is an emerging technology in the whole world. At present, even the products of Amazon and Google are still a bit immature.

  You don't have to be under too much pressure, you have to maintain sufficient patience, start from the underlying operating system, and truly achieve technical autonomy, safety and controllability. "

  Wang Jian nodded again and again, Xia Jingxing's words came to his heart.

  Revival Cloud has great ambitions, and does not want to build a house on the technical framework opened up by foreign technology giants.

   This also creates a new problem, which is heavy and complicated.

  Xia Jingxing suddenly changed the conversation, "However, we still have to have some sense of urgency.

   Amazon launched its first cloud computing service product, Amazon S3, in March 2006, which web application developers can use to store digital assets, including pictures, videos, music, documents, and more.

   is a software as a service platform (SaaS), cloud storage software, also called cloud disk.

   This year, Amazon launched a further cloud computing product EC2, also known as Elastic Computing Cloud.

The word elasticity is very particular, it means that users can elastically run their own Amazon machine image files, run any software or applications they want on this virtual machine, and rent computing resources at any time according to their own wishes. Grow, shrink, pay as you go.

  In the three-level division of cloud computing products, this belongs to the lowest level of infrastructure as a service (IaaS).

  The ability to launch IaaS products also means that Amazon has gone a long way on the road of cloud computing, which is beyond the reach of the industry.

Google, who first proposed the concept of cloud computing, came a little late. They launched the cloud computing service GoogleAppEngine in April this year, which is a tool that simplifies the creation, operation and construction of scalable web applications. It is the industry's first platform-as-a-service. (PaaS) products.

   is a little more specific. It allows developers to build web applications locally using Google infrastructure, and then deploy the application to Google's infrastructure after it is completed.

   More than a month ago, Microsoft held the PDC2008 Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles. RayOzzie, the chief software architect of Microsoft Corporation, announced the public cloud computing platform WindowsAzurePlatform at the conference.

   At present, this is just a conceptual product. It should be some time before the official launch, but since Microsoft dares to come up with it, it is estimated that it will soon come up with a mature product.

  Workday and Salesforce are vigorously cultivating human SaaS and general SaaS software respectively.

   Through this information, we can clearly see that the opponents on the other side of the ocean are ready to fight in the cloud computing battlefield.

  If we only stared at this acre of land in China, after Fuxingyun was slowly developed and occupied the domestic market, we wanted to go overseas, but we found that the vast international market had no place for us. "

  Xia Jingxing looked around the executives and said these words not only to Wang Jian, but also to other executives.

  Although Fuxing Mobile has achieved outstanding results in the international market at this time, some people have never opened the pattern and always focus on the domestic market.

  The domestic market is, in some areas, the largest single market in the world.

  If the company is the first in China, it is likely to be the first in the world.

Winning or losing does not matter.

  Many companies are satisfied with the status quo and withdraw from the complex and changeable overseas market after encountering a little resistance.

  People are used to staying in their comfort zone. Businesses are controlled by people, and they also like comfort zones.

   Although China is the world's largest single market, its population is only one fifth of the world's.

  Take technology giants as an example. American giants that eat four-fifths of the global market excluding China have far more revenue and profits than Chinese giants that only occupy the Chinese market and only account for one-fifth of the global market.

  The huge revenue and profits make the US giants' R&D funds several times that of the Chinese giants under the same R&D investment ratio.

   In the long run, the technological gap has completely widened, adding more obstacles to the Chinese giants going overseas, making it even more difficult to get out.

   Now Amazon, Google, and Microsoft are all on Ma cloud computing, and even the first two have already run several steps first, which makes Xia Jingxing feel very stressed.

If    doesn’t catch up, Fuxingyun may follow the same path of Aliyun, ranking first in China and Asia, but only fourth in the world.

   Of course, until the eve of Xia Jingxing's rebirth, the gap between Ali Cloud and Google Cloud was not big, and even slightly surpassed Google Cloud.

   However, there is still a huge gap of several times in market share with the top two.

   Today, after a large number of cuts and revisions, 4 chapters and 404 chapters were released. All the chapters have been released, which may have more than 3.4 million words.
