Chapter 417 BAT is horrified, Hanfu launch conference!

"20 servers is equivalent to two Baidus. What a huge investment!"

Li Yan couldn't help but feel a little worried: "It seems that Xingyi Technology is not only going to fully develop search engine services, but also to do AI search!"

The vice president agreed: "Not only AI search, Xingyi Technology has its own AI algorithm center, acquired Xiao-i Robotics, and invested in iFlytek. With the combined efforts of the three parties, we have surpassed Baidu in the fields of AI algorithms and interaction. We are not only the first in China, but also among the best in the world. Now we have our own data center, and it is so large in scale, so our future is limitless."

Li Yan's face became even uglier. "Yes, but if this happens, we will be in trouble. They also have AutoNavi Maps, which is the best in the country, and they have invested in BYD. If they focus on autonomous driving, our Baidu's autonomous driving will also be a tragedy!"

"Damn it, why is Wang Yi always making things difficult for us at Baidu?"

The vice president was silent: "..."

What else can be said?
Baidu wanted to take advantage of many good opportunities and made plans at the first opportunity, but for some reason, it failed to make any progress and instead gave its competitors an advantage!

I got up very early and arrived late.

There is no place to seek justice.

On the other hand, Xingyi Technology, even though it started later, has developed better in the end!

There is no place to seek justice.

If Li Yan hadn't been nice to me, I would have wanted to switch to Xingyi Technology!
Ali headquarters.

Jack Ma crossed his legs and stroked his chin: "With 20 servers, Xingyi Technology has big ambitions. I seriously suspect that Mayu will upgrade to a comprehensive e-commerce company."

"Boss Wang, is he going to work for Alibaba instead of Baidu?"

Wang Jian on the other side sighed: "It would be fine if we just did e-commerce, but I'm afraid Xingyi Technology will also develop big data and cloud computing! By then, our Feitian Cloud Computing will have another strong rival!"

Jack Ma snorted coldly: "Humph! When the enemy comes, the general will stop him; when the water comes, the earth will cover it. In the field of e-commerce, we at Alibaba have never been afraid of anyone! As for the other party doing cloud computing, it is indeed difficult to deal with."

"But it's a good thing. Wang Yi has so many plans, and they all require money. Cloud computing is also very expensive. It would be fun if Xingyi Technology was dragged down. Haha."

But Wang Jian on the other side was not optimistic: "But what if Xingyi Technology succeeds in cloud computing and even surpasses our Alibaba Feitian?"

"This..." Jack Ma opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

In high-end fields like cloud computing, the No. 1 player gets to eat the meat, the No. 2 player gets to gnaw on the bones, and the No. 3 player gets to drink the soup...

Alibaba invested so much in Feitian Cloud Computing in order to be the first to eat the meat, rather than being the second to drink the soup for a thousand years!
"No, the cloud computing department must continue to increase its investment and must not be surpassed by Xingyi Cloud Computing!" Jack Ma said firmly.

"Okay, Chairman, I'll do my best!" Wang Jian promised.

When there is competition, there is pressure.

He knows that Alibaba's FeiTian cloud computing will speed up again, which is good!
Penguin Headquarters.

Mr. Ma frowned. "20 servers. Even if Changchat grows to the size of QQ and has more than 6 million users, they still won't need that many. Are they going to focus on developing Xingyi Games?"

"After working on our social network, he is also working on Tencent Games? He doesn't want to work on Baidu or Alibaba, but continues to work on Tencent?"

The vice president's face changed slightly. "The number of active users of Changchat has already exceeded 1 million, while WeChat only has 6 million. It can be said that it has completely lost. Although QQ has million users, without multiple accounts, the actual number of active QQ users is only about million. Changchat will soon surpass it!"

"As for games, Xingyi Games has continuously released new products. The previous "Protect the Pomelo" and "Happy Match" were all very popular and became popular games for all the people, with terrifying revenue. Many employees of Tencent are playing them, and some even spend money on them."

"Really? Is this true?" Director Ma frowned slightly.

"Of course, they are afraid of being framed, so they play secretly. If you go to any toilet, you will see employees playing Xing Yi games."

Mr. Ma opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Tencent’s employees don’t play Tencent’s games, but are obsessed with Xingyi games. It’s really a slap in the face!

“Subway Surfers, which was released at the beginning of the month, has become popular again and is another popular game for all.”

Xiao Ma Ge was also helpless: "It has only been ten days since the release of Subway Surfers, and the number of users has exceeded 4 million, and the revenue has exceeded million. It's incredible, how can it spread so quickly?"

The vice president sighed, "We can't help it. Xingyi Technology is just not fair. It's promoting Subway Surfers on hundreds of millions of Xingyi phones, Xingyi tablets, and Xingyi TVs. It's also on Changchat, which has over 300 million active users. Plus, the game itself is fun, so it's hard not to be popular."

"Alas! What gives me the most headache is "Sky Hunters". Although the number of users is slightly less than that of "Subway Surfers", it has reached 10 million in ten days. The key is the revenue, which is even higher, at least billion!" Mr. Ma sighed.

"Star Hunters" is a large-scale mobile game. Its user scale cannot be as explosive as "Subway Surfers", but its average order value is high.

Playing Subway Surfers for ten days might only require 10 or 20 levels.

But after playing Star Hunter for ten days, maybe one or two hundred dollars will be in...

"Star Hunter" is as lucrative as DNF. A random novice gift pack costs one or two hundred...

During the holidays, they will also release holiday gift packages, each costing three or four hundred yuan, making a lot of money...

"If we had known this, we should have made Dungeon into a mobile game!" the vice president couldn't help but sigh.

Mr. Ma waved his hand and said, "It's difficult. The copyright of Dungeon is not ours, it's in the hands of the Koreans. If we make it into a mobile game, not to mention the investment, the copyright fee will be a huge sum. If we want to promote it globally in the future, it depends on whether the Koreans agree. Even if they agree, we will have to share a large amount of income with the Koreans, which is equivalent to making money for the Koreans. It's not cost-effective."

"That's right. It's troublesome to run a game that's not our own. Xingyi Technology is quite capable, however. They quietly made Sky Hunter and did a great job. Now there are tens of thousands of Sky Hunter QQ groups, where friends can form teams. There are countless chat groups. There are also many dungeon groups, all clamoring to play Sky Hunter together. Isn't this poaching our players?"

"This is a serious problem." President Ma nodded. "Once Star Hunters becomes popular, it will definitely steal a lot of Dungeon users. After all, mobile games are more convenient and fresh. In the future, the impact of mobile games on PC games is expected to be fatal."

The vice president understood what Mr. Ma meant and said, “Then let’s make a similar mobile game!”

"Sure. But what I'm most worried about is that Xingyi Technology is fully committed to developing its gaming business. Previously, Xingyi Games rented servers, but now they have a Xingyi Cloud Data Center, and it's still that large. In the future, Xingyi Games will directly use its own servers, and it will definitely develop better, which will definitely have a serious impact on our Tencent Games."

"Don't worry, Chairman. Zhang's WeChat lost to Changchat, but we will never lose in games!"

"Okay, I believe you!" Mr. Ma said, but he was a little worried in his heart.

WeChat has been completely defeated, and QQ is about to be surpassed by Changliao. The basic plan of social networking has been lost.

If the game is also surpassed, the future of Tencent will be bleak.

The problem is that Wang Yi has no moral principles and does both software and hardware at the same time.

Tencent wants to suppress Xingyi Technology, but it is limited in its actions.

After all, once Tencent bans Xingyi Technology's software, Xingyi mobile phones will immediately ban Tencent's software, and Tencent will suffer heavy losses.

Now that the number of Xingyi mobile phone users has exceeded 100 million, which software vendor dares to offend them?

Even Li Yan didn't dare to act recklessly, for fear that Xingyi Technology would ban Baidu's entire business!
Baidu would be in trouble, losing hundreds of millions of users all of a sudden, and no one could handle it.

How difficult!

"Forget it, I can only take one step at a time and see what happens."

Xingyi Cloud Data Center.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony entered the question-and-answer session:
"Director Wang, when will the Xingyi Cloud Data Center be put into use?"

"Xingyi Cloud Data Center is currently installing servers. As for network engineering, it has been advanced simultaneously before delivery. As the server installation progresses, it will be debugged and put into use in batches starting next month."

"Mr. Wang, will Xingyi Cloud Data Center use new clean energy such as photovoltaics?"

"Due to the rush to complete the first phase of the project, it was not possible to deploy photovoltaics, but photovoltaics will be introduced in subsequent projects."

"Director Wang, how many billions has been invested in the entire Xingyi Cloud Service Center?"

"The total investment is 60 billion. The infrastructure cost of 200 acres is 20 billion, and the cost of 20 servers is 20 billion. In addition, nearly 20 cabinets, network equipment and other costs will also cost 60 billion. The total investment is as high as billion!"

……

The media recorded it all.

Data centers are very expensive, and it will cost 60 billion to build all four phases.

The least valuable of these is land.

Data centers are all located in remote industrial land, which is very cheap, at 20 yuan per acre, so 200 acres only costs 4000 million yuan.

Jeju is responsible for the land worth 4000 million and the first and second phase infrastructure, with a total investment of about 10 billion.

However, the construction of the third and fourth phases will also require 50 billion, and all servers, network equipment, etc., will have to be the responsibility of Xingyi Technology itself, and another billion will be spent later!
It can be said that Jeju is making a small investment to achieve great results.

Jeju only needs to invest 10 billion to allow Wang Yi to invest 50 billion to build the world's largest single cloud data center in Jeju.

By then, Jeju's industries will be upgraded, talents will gather, and tax revenue will be abundant...

A billion-dollar investment can be paid back in one year, and the rest of the decades will be free profit.

After all, the cloud data center has been put into operation and Wang Yi has spent 50 billion yuan, so it is impossible to move away.

Moreover, the two parties have a bet agreement that the Xingyi Cloud Data Center must be successfully put into use within five years and have more than 10 servers. Otherwise, Wang Yi must pay all the land given by Jeju and the billion spent on infrastructure construction, which means that Jeju will not lose a penny.

This kind of investment attraction is risk-free and highly profitable, and there is absolutely no question of loss of state-owned assets...

And this kind of behavior is very common, just like the introduction of Tesla into Shanghai many years later in the previous life.

The land worth 98 billion yuan was sold to Tesla for 9.8 million yuan, which means 88.2 billion yuan was directly given away.

It also provided 400 billion in low-interest loans.

Compared with the support that Shanghai gave to Tesla for a project, what Jeju gave to Wang Yi was just a small thing.

What's more, these are all zero-risk bets and guaranteed wins.

Of course, Wang Yi is willing to locate all Xingyi Cloud Data Centers in Jeju and expand it to a scale of 20 units. On the one hand, it is his hometown and he is familiar with all aspects of it. Wang Yi also wants to make his hometown develop better.

On the other hand, Jeju’s policies are good. Not to mention the billion-dollar bet, the key is the electricity price.

For cloud data centers, there are electricity price subsidies in various places, which is inevitable.

Jeju directly subsidizes 3.5 cents per kilowatt-hour, which is basically the lowest electricity price.

Wang Yi couldn't go to other cities to save money, so he might as well go all in on Jeju. By then, Xingyi Games, Changchat, Xingyi Video, Xingyi Animation, etc., would all be moved to Jeju. The cost would be much lower than the capital, and being in the same city as the server would also make maintenance easier.

For places like the Imperial Capital and the Magic Capital, it is enough to retain the R&D department for high-end business, and for other departments, only an Imperial Capital office can be left.

By moving all non-high-end R&D businesses back to Jeju, Xingyi Technology will be able to reduce expenses, and employees will also be able to reduce housing and consumption costs, thereby improving their happiness index.

If you were in the imperial capital, even if the salary was higher, it would not be as high as the housing prices, and you would not be able to afford a house in the imperial capital.

To put it bluntly, most of the employees of Xingyi Technology can only work as high-end cattle and horses in the capital, and cannot afford to buy a house in the capital without going into debt of several million.

If you buy a house with millions of dollars in debt, once you lose your job or have a health problem, the rest of your life will be over.

The Internet winter has arrived, and the market value of BAT giants has dropped by 70%, layoffs and salary cuts have occurred, and couples working in large companies have lost their jobs. In order to continue to pay off their houses, they can only sell their houses at a discounted price, and basically all the down payment has been spent.

By then, not only will all the savings from years of hard work be gone, but even the parents' life savings will be lost.

After all, when the down payment was made in order to buy a house in the capital, it took six wallets from two families to pool the money.

Then your whole life will be difficult.

But back in Jeju, they are the upper class elite.

Mortgage? What is a mortgage? With Xingyi Technology's income for several years, you can buy it directly with full payment!
The happiness index on both sides is completely different.

Rather than struggling in first-tier cities, Wang Yi in his previous life preferred the carefree life of second-tier cities.

Naturally, you also have to create a better way out for your employees and brothers under you.

The opportunity was not to be missed, and the reporters on the scene continued to ask questions:
"Mr. Wang, the Xphone 2 released earlier this month was very successful. I've already got the new phone and I like it very much. When will the next press conference be held? Will it be next month?"

Wang Yi waved his hand: "No, the next press conference will be in three days!"

"What? Another press conference in three days?"

The reporter who asked the question was confused, and the reporters who were waiting to ask questions were also confused.

On September 9, Xingyi Technology held a press conference and released Xphone 1, XUI2, Xingyi fast charging, "Subway Surfers", "Star Hunter", Xingyi game controller, Xingyi smart fan and smart wireless fan...

As a result, three days later, on September 9, another new product launch conference was held!
This is too unexpected!
Soon, the reporter came to his senses and asked, "Mr. Wang, what will be the press conference on September 9? Is it also a press conference for Xingyi Technology?"

"Yes and no, it's mainly the Mayu press conference! Of course, there's also a blockbuster software from Xingyi Technology!" Wang Yi said with a smile, "Okay, this media communication meeting is over. We'll see you at the Mayu Exhibition Center on September 9th. Everyone is welcome to come."

"Director Wang!"

The reporters wanted to continue asking questions, but Wang Yi left the scene directly surrounded by security personnel.

Soon, news reports came out:

[The first phase of Xingyi Cloud Data Center was delivered, which will accommodate 50,000 servers. 】

[Xingyi Cloud Data Center has four phases in total, which can accommodate 200,000 servers after completion. ]

[With an investment of 60 billion and 20 servers, Xingyi Cloud Data Center will become the world's largest single data center. ]

[On September 9, the Meiyou Exhibition and Sales Center held another new product launch conference. ]

[The Mayu press conference and Xingyi Technology's blockbuster software are worth looking forward to. ]

……

As soon as these news came out, they caused an uproar again.

The press conference has just been held, and another press conference is being held. Many people are looking forward to the press conference on the 13th.

But Cook frowned slightly: "Xingyi Technology is holding another press conference on September 9th?"

"What do you mean?"

"We are launching iPhone 13 on the 5th! He is holding a press conference on the same day?"

“It’s definitely intentional!”

"The visitor is evil!"

Upon hearing this, other senior executives also thought so.

It is really intriguing that press conferences were held simultaneously on the same day.

"Is it revenge on us?" Cook's mouth twitched.

Suddenly I remembered that Xingyi Technology was going to hold a press conference in the imperial capital. In order to steal the limelight and suppress Xingyi Technology, Cook decisively arranged an Apple fan meeting in the imperial capital on the same day, and he personally appeared.

Although Apple lost badly in the end and Cook left in disgrace, it was Xingyi Technology that won a great victory.

Now the situation has reversed. Apple is going to hold a new product launch conference for iPhone 5, and Wang Yi has also scheduled the new product launch conference on the 13th. It is indeed a tit-for-tat move.

Of course, the new product Wang Yi is going to release is not a mobile phone or a tablet, but Hanfu!

And a strategic software!
Hanfu Meiyu Technology has been preparing for a long time, but it was just too hot in June, July and August.

Girls would love to wear miniskirts every day. If they wear Hanfu, they may get prickly heat and sales will not be good.

On the contrary, September, October, November and the following spring are the best sales periods for Hanfu.

If it was released in advance, not only would the sales not be good, but it would also be easy for competitors to copy it. Therefore, Wang Yi has been holding back and has not released it.

It won’t be released until September 9th, the same day as Apple’s press conference!
As for whether it will steal Apple’s limelight?

Wang Yi doesn't care.

But I guess so.

Ever since iPhone 4s was successively beaten by Xphone 1 and Xphone 1 Pro, iPhone has fallen from the altar in Xia Country.

In the past, the iPhone was a magical device. Some people even took out loans, sold their kidneys, and even their bodies to buy an iPhone.

But now, the iPhone has fallen from its pedestal, its halo is gone, and it has lost that allure.

Just like a misprinted stamp, a highlight moment, a misprinted stamp can buy a house.

But once it falls from the altar, no one is willing to buy it for 100 yuan, let alone a house. People even think that those who speculate in stamps are trendy people.

The same is true for the iPhone.

That night, just as everyone was guessing what would be announced at the press conference on the 13th, the news that "Nirvana in Fire" was about to be broadcast became a hot topic!
["Nirvana in Fire" is exclusively broadcast on Xingyi Video. Jiangzuo Meilang invites you to enjoy it together. ]

[Turning your hand, clouds appear; turning your hand again, rain falls. Nirvana in Fire is being broadcast on four major TV stations simultaneously...]

"Nirvana in Fire" was completed in June. Thanks to its high quality, gripping plot, first-rate star lineup, 6 million S-level production and the golden signboard of Xingyi Media, it was immediately favored by major satellite TV stations.

After several rounds of competition, Capital TV, Shandong TV, Dragon TV and Shenzhen TV finally won the first round of broadcasting rights with a copyright fee of 7000 million yuan each.

In this wave alone, Xingyi Media’s revenue reached 2.8 million yuan.

Adding the subsequent second and third rounds, it will be no problem for the total copyright revenue to exceed 4 million.

In addition, Xingyi Video Network exclusively broadcast "Nirvana in Fire" and earned 1.5 million yuan in sponsorship fees. Adding the subsequent advertising fees, 3 million yuan is not a problem.

The membership income brought by "Nirvana in Fire" starts at hundreds of millions.

It can be said that Wang Yi can earn more than 8000 billion from "Nirvana in Fire", a TV series with an investment of million.

This kind of hit drama has high profits.

But what Wang Yi cares about is to promote Hanfu by taking advantage of the popularity of Nirvana in Fire!

The costumes worn by all the characters in the play are Hanfu carefully designed by Zhenyou and Meiyou!

As long as the drama becomes popular, the Hanfu in it will definitely go viral!
In order to achieve better advertising effect, Wang Yi also added some female extras in the play, all of whom had graceful figures and wore Zhenyou Hanfu.

There is no other way. There are too few outstanding female characters in Nirvana in Fire. Wang Yi can only add a few female NPC extras and increase the appearance rate of Zhen You in Hanfu without affecting the plot.

As expected, on the first day of its broadcast, the ratings of "Nirvana in Fire" exploded, word of mouth was extremely good, and it quickly became popular.

With the appearance of Princess Nihuang and Qin Banruo, the Hanfu worn by Zhenyou instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The only difference is that the male audiences are all admiring the looks of Zhao Xiaodao and the other person.

The female audience paid attention to the details and were directly amazed by the Hanfu worn by the two men!
Not surprisingly, their outfits quickly went viral.

Many fans even went to the Mayu forum to post, sparking heated discussions:

"Princess Nihuang's Hanfu is so pretty, I love it so much, is there a link to the same one? I'm fine with anything under 2000."

"That's definitely not the case. If nothing unexpected happens, it's all carefully designed by the crew."

"That's right. The costumes and props of Nirvana in Fire are very good. You can tell at a glance that they are not the common ones on the street. They must have been specially designed."

"And Qin Banruo's outfit is also very beautiful, I want it!"

"Oh, I don't know where I can buy the same style. It's autumn now, it's a good time to wear Hanfu! Please ask the crew to make the same style and peripherals, I will definitely buy them!"

"Well, Nirvana in Fire was produced by Xingyi Media, which has the same boss as Meiyou, so were the Hanfu costumes in Nirvana in Fire made by Meiyou?"

"Hiss! It must be. With the clothing giant Meiyou, Xingyi Media has no need to go far away. They must have commissioned Meiyou to design it."

"That's easy to say. Since it's the Hanfu designed by Meiyu, will it be directly available on the Meiyu Mall? Meiyu, Zhenyu flagship store, specialty store, franchise store?"

"It's very likely. Don't forget, at the Mayu press conference in three days, they will release Hanfu, right? The same style as in Nirvana in Fire?"

"That should be the case, hahahaha, I'll be able to buy it then!"
