On the second day of the competition, icq company held a press conference to announce to the outside world why Siri was able to defeat the Deep Blue supercomputer.

At the press conference, people were surprised to find that Henry Williams was also present.

At this moment, icq's CEO Tian Shuai said loudly on the stage: "Everyone knows that Siri is just an artificial intelligence program running on Apple laptops. Apple laptops can't compare with Deep Blue in computing power, but why does Siri win? Is it up?" After a pause, Tian Shuai glanced around the stage and continued, "Here, I will announce the magic weapon for Siri to win!"

"In fact, in addition to siri's smart algorithm, we also use another disruptive new Internet technology-cloud computing!!!"

The audience whispered to each other, whispering, what "cloud computing" is, it seems that I have never heard of it.

Tian Shuai waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "In simple terms, cloud computing means that'computing' is distributed on a large number of distributed computers instead of local computers. The reason why it is called cloud computing is because distributed computers are distributed. Around the world, there are as many as clouds, so the name is simple and image. Now, we also know that the Deep Blue supercomputer is just a computer, and Siri uses cloud computing, and it relies on an extremely large data center behind it!"

Tian Shuai paused and said proudly, "Deep Blue's computing power is 1 billion floating-point operations per second, but do you know how much Siri's computing power is?"

Before everyone could answer, Tian Shuai almost shouted out: "It's a thousand times, a thousand times that of Deep Blue Computer!!!"

When everyone heard this, they were immediately shocked, all with a dumbfounded and unbelievable expression!

Looking at the expressions and reactions of the people, Tian Shuai was very satisfied, and continued self-consciously: "Previously, Mr. Henry Williams proposed to build data centers around the world, but it has been questioned by the world. , The construction of a data center is absolutely correct! The data center we build is different from the traditional data center, but a cloud computing data center! We can allow users to use ordinary Apple computers or laptops to access our cloud computing data center , And then perform calculations according to their own needs. We can let them experience the computing power that only supercomputers can have, trillions of times per second, and we can even let them simulate a nuclear explosion on an ordinary computer!"

The more Tian Shuai said, the more excited the people in the audience.

They never expected that the data center Henry insisted on building at the beginning was so powerful!

"Of course, the cloud computing data center has more uses. Let's welcome Mr. Henry Williams to the stage with the warmest applause!" After Tian Shuai finished speaking, he applauded first.

Immediately, there was a wave of applause, one wave after another!

Henry smiled at this moment and walked slowly onto the stage. His piercing gaze glanced at everyone, and smiled faintly: “What can a huge cloud computing data center be used for? Previously, if you wanted to run some enterprise applications on the office or company’s website, you needed to buy it. Servers, or other expensive hardware to control local applications and let your business run. But now you don’t have to. Our cloud computing data center has enough idle resources to provide you with lease, including processors, storage, Network and other basic computing resources, you can deploy and run any software at will, including operating systems and applications!"

"In this way, will it reduce the development and operation costs of many companies?!" Henry smiled slightly, "I call this model laas, infrastructure as a service."

Henry paused, and then said: "In addition, relying on a powerful data center, we can provide developers with a standard environment for building applications, so that they don’t need to think too much about the underlying hardware and save on hardware costs. It also makes collaboration between dispersed studios easier! This model is called paas, platform as a service."

"After the application software is successfully developed, it must be used by consumers. Therefore, we can provide software to run on cloud computing data centers. Consumers can access online through some clients on computers, laptops and other devices, thereby No need to download. And this mode is called saas, software as a service. Take a simple example, such as the wps office software of Kingsoft Software, if you use the saas service, you can make wps-online office software, and then use the browser , Click the wps plug-in to open the software! At the same time, the content written by the user can also be synchronized to the cloud space. This cloud space," Henry smiled, explained, "Cloud space is a space with a certain storage size, such as It is said that Kingsoft software can provide each wps user with 2g of private storage space. They can log in to the wps cloud space and find the files they have written. At the same time, users can upload or download files in the cloud space, and these The files are not limited to wps files, they can also be pictures, videos, etc..."

After Henry's words were finished, everyone couldn't help taking a deep breath, their faces flushed with excitement.

This is simply to create a kind of, no... if the market is segmented, there should be three profit models, and each profit model will have extremely huge potential!

"A genius, what a genius!!! He insisted on building a data center at the beginning, and he was not aimless. He had already thought of a profit method!" Everyone was shocked!

"To sum up, a brief summary is that iaas mainly provides infrastructure services such as virtual computing, storage, and database, while paas provides an environment for developers to build applications, and saas provides users with cloud-based applications."

"However, you must not think that the cloud computing data center has these three functions. In fact, it is not." Henry wrote lightly, "What is the most important thing about the cloud computing data center? In my opinion, it is data. Through big data management and Analysis can help us solve many, many problems. For example, online shopping, each consumer's consumption habits will be stored in the data center, and then through data analysis, we can know what he likes and his consumption level, and then push him In this way, the product information that meets his consumption situation can greatly improve the success rate of the product transaction! Another example is search, we can analyze the user's search habits, and then give him the most accurate search results, so as to achieve the best User experience! Another example..."

Everyone's eyes were bright and excited. Although they were just reporters, it was not difficult to understand the great value behind every word Henry said.

"It's really awesome! To what extent is Henry Williams' head hairy? I really want to knock on his head to have a look..."

Some reporters looked at Henry's gaze, with a hint of enthusiasm and madness!

Soon after the press conference was over, there was no time for reporters to ask questions. Henry and Tian Shuai left the press conference directly. The reporters were not upset. Instead, as if they had been beaten up, they hurriedly packed their things and went back to catch up on the paper.

The next day, newspapers and television all reported yesterday's icq press conference.

As soon as the news came out, there was a global uproar!

It turned out that Henry Williams was in such a big game!

Cloud computing data center, laas, paas, saas, cloud space, big data, etc., quickly spread the Internet. All the Internet or computer-related companies were shocked. Henry Williams seemed to stand high above the palace, looking down at them!

What Henry said almost became the "bible" of the Internet, and countless people worshipped and studied it.

Some people call him the "father of cloud computing" and others call him the "father of big data". The Internet companies he founded are all domineering; the Internet teams he leads are all kings.

In this era, his name has become a symbol of the Internet, and he is the emperor of the Internet! ! !

At this time, all the listed companies under Henry's name performed surprisingly in the stock market, and their stock prices rose wildly. Looking at the trend, there was no intention to stop!

Stockholders are crazy, investors are crazy, Wall Street is crazy, "Williams concept stocks" are formed unknowingly, which is even more fierce than Internet concept stocks. As long as it is slightly touched, the stock price will rise. At this time, the four companies k, youtube, linkedln, and triadvisor are just ready to go public. News began to spread from the outside world that Henry Williams had invested in these four companies, holding 30% of the shares of k website, 25% of the shares of youtube website, 22.5% of the shares of linkedin website, and 20% of the shares of triadvisor website. .

However, many people know that these four companies do not seem to be short of money, and none of them has received any investment from a venture capital institution. Perhaps these gossips are pure rumors.

However, what is surprising is that within two days, the four companies actually issued a formal statement: "Yes, Henry Williams did invest in us, and the rumors are indeed true!"

Originally these four websites were the fastest-growing innovative Internet companies in recent years, and now they have Henry Williams' investment, which shows that even Henry Williams is extremely optimistic about them!

A senior Wall Street analyst said: "It is hard to imagine what kind of sensation these four companies will cause when they go public, because there is Henry Williams among his investors!!!"

On February 5, the k website was the first to go public. Ipo issued 100 million shares, accounting for 20% of the total share capital, at $50 per share ~lightnovelpub.net~ that is, the pre-listing valuation has reached $25 billion.

The ceo of company k is a Chinese American named Luo Wen. He was holding the hammer with excitement, and Henry stood aside, smiling, "The time is almost here, get ready to ring the bell!"

"Mr. Williams, it's up to you to knock!" Rowan tweeted.

"I don't know how many times I have knocked it in this game. It's still you, so you can experience the feeling of a Nasdaq bell ringing!" Henry waved his hand and laughed.

Rowan said excitedly: "Thank you Mr. Williams, I really haven't ringed the bell on NASDAQ!"

The Nasdaq transaction began at 9 o'clock. Rowan kept looking at the clock on the LCD screen. From 9 o'clock to 9 o'clock, he was full of excitement and rang the bell vigorously.

"Boom!!!"

There was enthusiastic applause from the audience. Henry watched the stock market code of k appeared on the LCD screen, and his heart said k was finally listed...
