Reborn Cultural Empire

"Another profit plan? I've already said this, don't worry, the negotiation of "The Last Record" can be won within half a month, and as a copyright buyout work, I will specifically require it in the contract. You don’t have to worry about it, it’s almost... 300 million, and then you move some from other places, and the funds for one month will be almost the same again, and then my next military novel "Soldier Assault" will be released today I have also completed all the framework and almost 70.00% of the manuscript, as long as I can support it for one more month, the code of this book can come back, which is also more than 300 million, which is another month..."

Yang Yi knew that several people didn't know the manuscript of "Soldier Assault", so he deliberately mentioned it here, thinking that as long as he relied on a new comic and a new novel, he could free up two months for Yang Yi Network. With the buffer period of two months, the same search and keyword advertisements over there can almost be listed, creating profits for Yangyi Network and Yangyi Culture.

However, when he heard that the young man only reported his planned profit point in units of millions, Qiu Yuan couldn't help but wryly smiled, and then turned to Ye Chuan: "Mr. Ye, you should make an agreement with Director Yang yourself."

In Yang Yilue's somewhat surprised inquiry, Ye Chuan coughed twice, then picked up a report from his hand and handed it over: "Director Yang is like this, because of the needs of the same search and advertising business, so now the server is put in, the actual It is not enough, although it has reached the figure of more than 30 units per month, but if you want to form the number one domestic search engine described in your plan, then this number must be increased to [-] units per month, which is The most basic requirements. In addition to this. In fact, the growth of servers alone is okay, and there is another very important issue. That is, after the number of servers reaches a certain scale, we must come up with engineering solutions for the data center as soon as possible.”

data center?

Although Yang Yi doesn't understand computer network issues.But Ye Chuan also reported to him before, showing that the search engine and the advertising business attached to the search engine require an extremely terrifying number of servers.At that time, Yang Yi had a rough idea in his mind, and he also knew that if Yang Yi Network wanted to break out of the current hot industry, his own forward-looking vision was not enough, and he had to have massive financial support.

So at the meeting after the year, he has already prepared about 3000 million yuan, and along with the copyright income of each of his works, there will continue to be more than 3000 million yuan in cash flow within three quarters.But now it seems.The total income of Yangyi Culture is not enough to spend, and the reserves in the fund pool must be used, but those reserves are prepared for the data center, and according to Ye Chuan's description, the start time of this project It also seems to have to be advanced.

So Yang Yi asked suspiciously: "The 3000 million I prepared before is not enough?"

Ye Chuan shook his head: "Although in terms of technical reserves, the personnel needed to build a dedicated container data center are already sufficient, but I did not expect the rapid development of Yangyi Network. Originally, according to the previous server assembly speed , when the data center is officially launched at the end of the year. The 3000 million capital is almost the same. After all, Mr. Yang, you also said that the current target is the Chinese market, and you don’t need to worry about other aspects. But because of the increase in the number of search engine users. So the server The number of servers is also rising steadily. At that time, the originally expected [-] server centers in the first stage may be directly expanded to about [-] or [-]. Then the data center plan will also be We need to re-plan…”

"Report a number directly. If you calculate according to the current situation, at that time, how much money will be needed for the official start of the data center." Yang Yi thought about it. Although he is not a professional, he always reads the interviews of some celebrities. Once, after completing my own manuscript task, when I browsed to the Internet section, I happened to see a report interviewing the person in charge of Zhongguancun Online. The idc mentioned above, that is, the data center plan, any one of them is worth [-] million yuan. It is calculated in units, and most of them are US dollars.

In such a comparison, his own 3000 million is really nothing, or even a sum of money that he can't afford at all.

But in the same way, the data center that Yang Yi wants to build is not the level of one-step completion like later generations, but carefully planned into several stages. The first extreme fund is 3000 million, or there will be more investment in the future.With this investment of almost 4000 million RMB, it is almost enough to build a relatively small server data processing center.Then when the advertising business of the same search officially starts to make a profit, it will soon be able to use the funds of the advertising publishers to make Yangyi Network self-sufficient.

As for repaying and feeding back to Yangyi Culture, the young man has no plans in this regard. His idea is that Yangyi Network will maintain a balance of payments within five years and does not need a penny of profit.

But now it seems that because hao123 and Du Niang were bundled together in advance, the number of users of the search engine station has also increased greatly, which has also increased the strength of Yangyi Network in disguise, and it can no longer be like the previous plan. As stated above, only an initial investment is needed to allow Yangyi Network to seek development by itself.

After thinking about it, Yang Yi looked at Ye Chuan and pondered for a moment: "If the data center is guaranteed to operate normally at a minimum, how many servers will be needed? According to the current growth trend? The funds for purchasing and maintaining these servers, as well as establishing How much would a data center of comparable size cost? Have you calculated this before?"

Ye Chuan is obviously not unprepared. Yang Yi can guarantee his funds and personnel. This is a very good entrepreneur. The rest of the things need Ye Chuan to do it himself. If he can't do it, then There is no doubt that he has failed the boy's trust in him.

So after hearing Yang Yi's question, he nodded directly: "The minimum is 500 units, and the difference between the upper and lower numbers will not exceed 5000 units. Of course, it is only possible to increase, and it should be unlikely to decrease. After all, the number of users has increased somewhat now. It’s too fast. With [-] servers as the core components of the data center, the cost will be at least [-] million. If you pay close attention to the project, it’s not uncommon to be more than [-] million. thing."

I saw Rogo and Qiu Yuan next to me.They all looked like they couldn't help gasping for air, so he explained with a wry smile: "Actually, Director Yang had the foresight. He chose the location of the headquarters on the edge of the Huangpu River, where there are abundant water resources for the construction of a water cooling center. If you need to build a large building, then this number... will be doubled."

This time, not only Luo Ge and Qiu Yuan were horrified, but even Yang Yi was speechless. Although he came from his previous life, he knew that these numbers are very common in Internet companies.But when he faced similar problems in person, he still couldn't help but get a headache.

"Could it be that they force us to only raise money?" Yang Yi looked at Ye Chuan with a bad temper. It wasn't until this moment that he realized how exaggerated the extent of the Internet burning money was.

"Huh? Looks like this is really a big trouble. Have you changed your mind, Xiaoyi, or decided to recruit venture capitalists?" Rogo couldn't help but interjected, but no one was in the mood to tease him now.The four top executives are all thinking hard about ways to solve the problem.

Yang Yi shook his head: "It's just that I felt rushed just now, and I didn't know what to do. But financing or something, it must be just talking, and I won't really go to the venture capital."

"If you don't consider financing. Then there is another way, which is to get a loan from the bank." Qiu Yuan glanced at the three bosses in the office, and pinched the bridge of his nose.After concentrating, he tentatively proposed: "In fact, although our company has a lot of expenses, the performance of several major business divisions under it is still very good, especially Yangyi Publishing and Yangyi Animation. The former has swept the domestic The five positions in the annual bestseller market are simply exaggerated performances, and Yangyi Animation has sold cartoons to island countries, which can definitely be used as strong evidence of high-quality customers, coupled with the layout of Yangyi Tourism Heyangyi Catering can also be worth tens of millions. It is impossible for the bank to ignore customers like us. At least in my own opinion, our credit value and repayment ability are relatively good, as long as the head does not have a fever, There's no way anyone would reject our loan application."

loan?

This method is not unacceptable, but the problem is that Yang Yi and Rogo had an unpleasant loan experience when they were in Yuezhou before, so they can't say they are against these things, but they are not very comfortable.

However, when doing business in China, even a boss who is not entirely concerned with profit cannot ignore this point of the bank.People who don't know how to borrow money from banks are unlikely to expand their business. Financial leverage, even those upstart bosses who haven't graduated from elementary school, can speak clearly and logically. This is common to business people all over the world. place.

But the only thing that needs to be paid attention to is that the loan process cannot happen again like last time. For the sake of convenience and quickness, instead of going through formal procedures, it operates in private.The last time I was able to get out of the whole body, it was because Yangyi Culture had not yet divided into major business divisions. All the financial burden, except for employee expenses, was only the need for repayment, so selling a cloud bookstore at will would be Can make up for losses and loopholes.

But now they don't have another Yunzhong building to auction, so they can't tell the problem and sell the new headquarters?Thinking of this, the boy couldn't help but think of a famous football club abroad, where there was a tradition of selling their own captain, but when it came to him, it turned into selling the headquarters building.

After thinking about it for a while, Yang Yi looked at Qiu Yuan and Ye Chuan: "Well, you two have worked hard for two days to make out the project budget report of the data center first, and then I will consider whether it is a loan or a loan after I read it. There are other ways." As for the plan of attracting venture capital, Yang Yi never thought about it from the beginning to the end.

"Okay, I understand." The two nodded and agreed.

"Are there other things?" Yang Yi looked at the three people around him.

"I have another one here." Seeing that Ye Chuan and Qiu Yuan had nothing to say, Rogo stood up and shrugged at Yang Yi.

"Brother Luo, what's the matter?" Yang Yi blinked in confusion, but couldn't figure out what the problem was after thinking about it.

Ye Chuan had nothing to do over there, so he got up to say goodbye, while Qiu Yuan was still sitting still, this behavior made Yang Yi feel a little nervous. (To be continued..)
