The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 336: Making up for the defects of the industrial chain
"Brother Luo, why is opening up copyright the most profitable thing?"

Luo Ming smiled and explained: "This song is for the JD Publicity Department, and not accepting any money means that we are supporting their work. Does this mean that the wider the song spreads, the more they will acknowledge our affection? "

"Oh! I understand, Brother Luo, the purpose of opening up the second creation copyright is to let everyone join in the second creation and editing of this song, so that the popularity of the song will be greatly increased.

No matter where this song appears later, there will definitely be netizens pointing out why this song was originally created, so that the purpose of publicity can be maximized.

This favor from the JD Publicity Office is really owed, and the debt grows bigger and bigger. "

"Yes, that's what it means."

"Brother Luo, you are so smart."

"Wanwan, you are just bragging. Isn't this a normal business operation? If Rong Mu handles it, he should be able to maximize the benefits.

But Rong Mu already has enough things on his hands, and I don’t want to bother him anymore with this little thing. "

Wen Wan nodded when she heard this and said: "Rong Mu does have a lot of work. I see that he is busy all day long, non-stop, just like a spinning top."

Luo Ming smiled awkwardly. He knew Wen Wan relatively well. This girl was quite simple, so she probably didn't have any yin and yang to blame him.

If Rong Mu said this, Luo Ming would have to think carefully.

Speaking of Rong Mu, Rong Mu is currently meeting with a cloud service company in Shanghai.

The so-called cloud service refers to obtaining the required services through the network in an on-demand and easily scalable manner.

The current cloud services mainly refer to two aspects, one is cloud storage and the other is cloud computing.

In a sense, cloud services are actually a sharing economy.

Rong Mu is no stranger to the term sharing economy. Buses that shuttle around the city and various public facilities can be considered a sharing economy.

This company is mainly engaged in cloud storage and has little involvement in cloud computing. The company's name is 180 Netdisk.

Cloud storage actually involves many aspects. Take the most commonly used storage function as an example. If you want to store files, you must have your own hard drive.

If you have a 32g hard drive and use 2g, the 30g will be wasted and useless, but you still have to spend the money for the 32g.

Moreover, a 32g hard drive can only store 32g files. If you want to save a 60g file, you will definitely not be able to save it because the hard drive is not that big at all.

But the usage of cloud storage is different. It combines multiple storage devices to work together through a system. You store yours and I store mine, but it is likely to exist in the same storage device or server. .

But this kind of file is one that I can’t see from you, and you can’t see from me.

In this way, the purpose of storage is achieved and resources are saved at the same time.

In 2014, cloud storage technology was nothing new in China. Baidu launched their network disk business in 2012. Within two years, Baidu network disk had already become popular.

Among the three BAT giants, AT has also invested a lot in cloud services.

Alibaba Cloud was established in 2008, and its main direction has always been cloud computing.

Penguin Cloud started a little later and was only officially established in 2010. Their main focus is cloud servers and cloud broadband, and they don’t dabble much in cloud storage and cloud computing.

Luo Ming and Rong Mu mentioned cloud services more than once. Luo Ming did not want to make money from cloud storage. His goal was also cloud computing.

To put it simply, cloud computing means dividing a computing job, placing part on this server and part on another, thus creating the so-called "distributed computing".

No matter how difficult it is to achieve what cloud computing does, or how complex the conditions are, the principle is that simple.

For example, running a program, providing an application software, or providing a network service are all just calculations on a bunch of secondary data in the computer world, and they are all achievable by cloud computing.

You can even separate software, services, and development environments.

Divide these tasks in different places, you do yours, and I do mine, using the same set of servers and the same set of software. This is cloud computing.

Luo Ming wants to engage in cloud computing mainly to facilitate the operation of various industries of Zhuoguang Technology in the future, especially Douyin.

Mr. Zhang, the boss of ByteDance in his previous life, said that the biggest problem in ByteDance’s early development and operations was that it failed to put cloud computing on the agenda early, which resulted in a missing link in the company’s industrial chain, which hindered subsequent technology upgrades and user growth. The rise has stalled for a while.

Luo Ming worked on his own in this life, definitely because he wanted to make up for the problems in the industry chain.

Douyin is inseparable from cloud computing technology, whether it is the normal use of users or the live broadcast of goods.

Perfect cloud computing technology can improve the short video loading speed of Douyin users, while providing e-commerce users with a complete ecological industry chain and improving the economic property and security of stores and consumers.

The latter is especially important. Due to the complexity of the e-commerce platform, it is a test for the server. Cloud computing can relieve the computing pressure of the server and make the server more stable through algorithms.

Through cloud computing, Douyin can inform merchants and consumers of calculated results. This not only improves efficiency, but also protects the normal operation of the server.

After Luo Ming and Rong Mu talked about this part of the idea of ​​cloud computing, Rong Mu has been paying attention to related companies. The main reason is that Zhuoguang Technology itself cannot spare any time to do cloud service work.

So Rong Mu thought of simply acquiring a company with related technology.

Nowadays, most cloud service companies on the market focus on cloud storage, and there are too few companies involved in cloud computing. This 180 Netdisk mainly provides cloud storage, but it has dabbled in some cloud computing technologies.

It happened that their company's living space had been further compressed due to the recent official listing of Penguin Cloud and Alibaba Cloud. The company was in danger and needed investment, so Rong Mu took this opportunity to contact them.

"Mr. Rong, are you saying you want to invest in our company?" Lin Dongshan, the boss of 180.com, asked with a shocked look on his face.

"Yes, I am very optimistic about your company."

Lin Dongshan's expression was a little strange when he heard this. Their company was about to close down. What was this Mr. Rong talking about?
"Ahem! Mr. Lin, I know that your company's operating conditions are not very good, but in my opinion this is not your company's responsibility, but the lack of capital support behind your company, which is far behind the three giants of BAT.

Of course, our company is nothing compared to these three, but at least it can support your company. "

Lin Dongshan was silent for a moment and asked: "There is no free lunch in the world, Mr. Rong, what do we have to pay?"

"I have two cooperation plans here. One is that your company's valuation is about 2000 million. I can directly acquire your company, but I will not interfere with your company's operations. The company is still under the control of Mr. Lin.

Second, I will invest 1500 million in your company as an angel investor. I want 67% of your company's shares. Your company will decide how to distribute the remaining shares.

After completing the acquisition or angel round of financing, your company needs to cooperate with our company to increase research investment in cloud computing. "

Hearing this, Lin Dongshan already understood what Rong Mu meant. To put it bluntly, Rong Mu only purchased their company as a technical reserve for cloud computing.

This is a good thing for their company. Lin Dongshan originally came from Alibaba Cloud, and he has always wanted to do cloud computing. However, he was unable to implement his ambition due to cost issues, so he could only start with cloud storage to make a fortune as capital. accumulation.

As a result, as soon as the company's servers were set up and the cloud disk was released, it was squeezed out by large companies and had no room for survival.

Thinking of this, Lin Dongshan no longer hesitated: "Mr. Rong, I choose the latter."

Rong Mu smiled when he heard this. To be honest, he had already guessed that Lin Dongshan would choose to let him become a shareholder instead of selling the company directly.

He had done some research on Lin Dongshan in advance. He had reached the P9 rank in Alibaba. He had his own ambitions when he left Alibaba.

It's a good thing to have ambitions. If it's because your career is over and you want to get out of a large company and become a senior executive or partner in a small company in exchange for a easier job, then this kind of person has little investment value.

Lin Dongshan is willing to retain part of his shares, which shows that he has confidence in his company. As long as there is an injection of funds, he will run his company well.

This is also an important reason why Rong Mu chose this company.

"Let's make an agreement, Mr. Lin. I will send someone to your company later. If there is no problem, we can sign the contract."

"welcome any time."

After watching Lin Dongshan leave, Rong Mu rubbed his eyes. There were too many messy things in the past two days, and he used his eyes too much. He always felt that his eyes were dry.

"Mr. Rong, your eye drops." Rong Mu's secretary Song Yue handed over the eye drops in time.

After Rong Mu dropped the eye drops, he asked Song Yue, "Did Mr. Luo say when he would be back?"

"Yes, Mr. Luo said he will return to the company on Monday."

Rong Mu waved his hand, indicating that Song Yue could go out.

At the same time, Luo Ming and Wen Wan had already entered the studio of "The Voice of China", and the recording of the program was about to begin.

The staff at the scene told the audience that they must abide by the rules at the scene.

"This rule is very similar to that of "Singer"." Luo Ming murmured to himself.

"Brother Luo, most of the live recordings of domestic programs follow this set of rules."

"Really? I thought a TV station was different from a TV station!"

"No, I heard that these rules seem to be learned from Nanbang."

While Luo Ming and Wen Wan were chatting, the recording of the program officially began.

The three groups of instructors except Qi Suling all sat in their seats.

Qi Suling sang "The Wind Rises" on the stage.

When the chorus was sung, the spotlight suddenly focused on the entrance of the stage, and Lin Shuwen's voice rang out, singing the chorus together with Qi Suling.

As soon as Lin Shuwen appeared on the stage, the audience instantly burst into deafening cheers.
