Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1618 The New System
Zhou Buqi is on his honeymoon. At this stage, it is good to determine the football ecology. I don't want to make bigger and more complicated decisions.

But Kurian is different.

It's fine if he's a submissive mediocre person who can only obey. The key point is that this person has great ambitions and strong opinions. Who cares whether the big boss is busy or not?
He pestered Boss Zhou to promote his new "operator" business.

Cloud computing services often require a large amount of data transmission, and transmission speed is an important factor for product experience.This is the same as streaming media platforms such as Netflix. Blu-ray high-definition format video signal transmission will take up a lot of optical fiber circuits.

It is both inconvenient and affects the profit of the operator.

Don't look at Europe and the United States as they are getting more and more left. They are more oriented towards the level of votes, and all the money is spent on high welfare.Although domestic operators have been criticized a lot, they have a very strong advantage, that is, they do not take care of the poor for profit.

Operators in Europe and the United States are all private companies, and they are all profit-oriented market economies.For example, if a remote town wants to build an optical fiber network infrastructure for this place, the investment will be huge, and the cost will not be recovered for years and months.Many operators will not do it, and the lives of residents here will be very inconvenient.Even if it is done, it will only provide cheap and relatively narrow channel transmission equipment, which greatly restricts the transmission of large data such as cloud computing and streaming media.

The United States is a bit better, with low welfare and no free medical treatment for all. Therefore, the federal government has the money to formulate many programs, and the state pays to support related infrastructure construction.The European Continent is very poor, the welfare is too low, and the infrastructure construction is difficult to keep up.

In fact, Bi Zhongya has also heard people say that in order to promote cloud computing business in Europe, Amazon needs to cooperate with narrowband operators.

That is, Amazon and the operators pay together to build optical fiber to open up the market. They are both father and mother.

Internet companies are generally ISPs, which are Internet service providers.Whether there are operators or providers, no matter how few and best services are provided, there is no application environment.

That's a hard condition.

If Ziweiyun can get through the relationship at the bottom layer, it will lose its core competitiveness when competing with other cloud computing companies in the future.

Bi Zhongya saw that I was easily dismissed, and asked with a frown: "Suppliers and operators are industries that restrict each other. If they are unified, do they involve monopoly? That kind of legal risk is worthwhile."

Bi Zhongya said: "The traditional operator market is already very mature. It is necessary for you to compete with us, and you have done so. You only need to supplement our business according to your own business needs."

"How to supplement?"

"You can launch a proprietary small data transmission optical fiber, add sparse light wave multiplexing equipment at both ends of the optical fiber, you can use optical amplifiers to degrade and amplify, and it can be suitable for small capacity data transmission and connection. Ziweiyun It can provide users with more stable and slower services.”

"Uh……"

Kurian had a white line on his forehead.

Don't worry about that week, I'm going to do something!

Bi Zhongya thought that the little boss understood, so she went on to say: "With the development of the Internet industry, the volume of data will become smaller and smaller. For personal devices, it is not only easy to store, but also faced by the transmitter. , The same is true for enterprise development. The cloud computing platform should be able to solve all those problems. In addition to the current strategic design of Ziwei Cloud, it only solves the needs of storage and services, and has no layout for the needs of transmission.”

Kurian applauded, "The industry span is too small, so hurry up first."

"But……"

Zhou Buqi was just too unhappy, feeling that the small boss was a little too big in the strategic situation.

If you can solve the problem of small data transmission, you can firmly occupy a leading position in the cloud computing industry.Recently, no U.S. federal congressman has proposed a new bill that has nothing to do with cloud computing, which is to let the federal government pay money and push back the government and enterprises' own business from going to the cloud.

Putting the operation of all websites in the cloud means centralized management, which can slightly reduce the hidden danger of data risk.Even if a data breach occurs, it can be very difficult to trace the source, find out the problematic environment, make corrections, make up for it, or even investigate and deal with it.

As long as the bill is passed, it will cost tens of billions of dollars at most.At that time, government and enterprises across the United States will rush to go to the cloud, and the cloud computing industry has really found a certain direction in Europe and the United States, which is the direction of infrastructure services led by Amazon Cloud and Ziwei Cloud, and Microsoft Cloud has officially transformed , Exit.

At that time, the competition in that industry will be very calm.

If Ziwei Cloud lays out the field of small data transmission early, it will form a small advantage.

Kurian was moved, "The investment cost of that kind of infrastructure is too small, just the cloud data centers all over the world, this is tens of billions of dollars in investment funds, and you have already eaten it. Put that matter on hold in advance. , You go back and think about it."

Zhou Buqi said: "That is an opportunity."

"That's it, you have to catch a plane, so go first."

Kurian gave me a chance to speak, and he left the hotel directly, went to the airport, and planned to fly back to Manchester.

Of course I knew it was an opportunity, but it was too difficult and the investment was too small.

Whether Ziweixing International's overseas business can develop as expected is still unknown. Cloud computing is a bottomless pit, and the financial pressure is too small.At that time, it will be even more expensive to lay any supporting small data transmission optical fiber.

From a theoretical point of view, Zhou Buqi's statement is of course correct.

The cloud computing industry has taken off relatively quickly, and the time for market education is relatively long.But streaming media started very slowly, that is, a few years ago.

Streaming media is also the transmission of small data.

The fact is that by 2015, the operators had accepted it and rebelled collectively.

There is no "net neutrality" principle in the United States. For operators, it means that they can be treated differently.For example, Netflix bought 2M optical fiber, and a large start-up company also bought 2M bandwidth. The prices of both parties should be the same.

But in actual applications, Netflix is ​​running at full capacity almost every day, and startups may only have 10 hours of 2K bandwidth usage per day.

So in terms of consumption, Netflix is ​​tens of thousands of times that of a large startup company!
But because of the principle of "net neutrality", the Internet fees paid by both parties are the same.

Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Netflix, Microsoft, and Google in Silicon Valley and the streaming media giants account for 56% of the narrowband cost in the market.

But the money that operators earn from us is still 10%.

That's so fair.

The small amount of network infrastructure invested by the operators ended up being cheaper for the Internet giants. We were very satisfied, and the critics fought back and resigned from Congress.

After two years of trouble, we succeeded. The US Communications Commission has really canceled the principle of net neutrality, and we can charge low fees to giants in a differentiated manner.

If Ziweiyun had built its own narrow-band operating system at that time, the transmission of small data would use its own system, showing Ziweiyun's core competitiveness; the transmission of big data would use the operator's system, and enjoy the " The narrowband fees of "big companies" have increased operating costs.

But that thing requires cross-industry, and Kurian's interest is too small.

The commercial layouts I do are rarely domestic and national to produce linkage effects.Products that are well-made in China are promoted to the country; products that are well-made in the country are promoted to the country.Learn from each other and learn from each other to minimize the cost of trial and error.

But the operator's line is too good.

It can be done in the country, but even if it is done, there is still a way to promote it domestically.That's contrary to Kurian's business philosophy on the whole small framework.

Let's talk about that before!
Watch the ball first!
The second round of Hope VS Bayern in the Champions League quarter-finals of this season started at Old Trafford.

It was the seventh match day of this round. In yesterday's match, Inter Milan beat CSKA Moscow and Barcelona beat Arsenal.The first set of matchups in the semi-finals has already appeared, Inter Milan VS Barcelona.

The seventh group of matchups was not one-sided at all.

In addition to the game of Bizhong VS Bayern, the other game is Waiang VS Porto, two strong teams.

In other words, whether Guan Bizhong or Bayern won the game, in the next semi-finals, almost all of us will encounter too little pressure, and we can retire to the Champions League final relatively smoothly.

In that game, Kurian invited Mr. Manchester United, the founder of SAP Group and the club owner of Hoffenheim.

At the end of the game, the two were discussing business cooperation.

Bi Zhong asked: "How will the ecology of his football club be constructed?"

Kurian said: "A bottom-up integrated strategy."

"Ok?"

Manchester United understands very well, we Germans are used to those small words that are marginal.

Kurian explained: "You think you can deploy globally and build a football ecosystem composed of 6-8 football clubs. The top is of course Hope, which is S-level, world-class, and the top of the food chain. Although Hoffenheim's time to retreat into the Bundesliga is very short, it can set a far-sighted goal, positioning A-level, intercontinental level. Next, you plan to buy a top team in Greece, which is B-level. The recent Greek economic crisis , The football industry has encountered a blow, and it can be easily started."

Manchester United was stunned, thinking that the plan was so small, "There is no C-level, D-level, E-level?"

Kurian smiled, "Theoretically, that's the case. If you pass, you will leave the European arena. You can go to the United States to buy a football team, which is specially used for retirement, in case low-paid players are difficult to deal with bad contracts at the end of their careers." .”

For example, before Rooney was young, his salary was very low. If I was willing to cut my salary, and the club wanted to waste less, what should I do?
America is a great place to go.

The commercial atmosphere in the American football market is very slight, extremely slight. European football will try its best to watch players participate in business entertainment during the season to gather energy, and the United States is the same.Except for the game time, the rest of my time is basically all kinds of non-stop commercial activities, which means that the commercial income is extremely low.

The club often owns 50% of the portrait rights of the players.

In other words, if Rooney really had a bad contract a few years ago, Hope wanted to afford it, so he could "sell" me to a Minor League team outside the ecosystem, and let me go to retire, yes Participate in business activities non-stop to make money.If you earn money and give half to the club, that is a bad contract.

Bi Zhong nodded, "It's a good commercial design."

Bi Zhongya said: "The most important thing about the ecosystem is the business design, but the overall planning of the technical tactics and talent selection system, so you need Rangnick."
