Chapter 836: Cloud Computing and Cloud Storage
The actual sales of the DreamPad, not to mention the 7 million units sold in one go, are actually only $5.4 billion.
Although the profits of the little profiteer Xiao Qi are frighteningly high, they are not much compared to his various expenses.
For example, in the Fairy Company Laboratory, Mingxiang Holdings North America Laboratory, and DreamPad App Store, these three places are full of gold swallowers, and it is a casual matter to consume hundreds of millions of yuan a day.
Especially after New Year's Day, Xiao Qi asked Booker to start preparing for the "cloud computing center" and "cloud storage center", which is the main data processing and storage library for the future iPhone and IPAD, and the first batch of expenses reached 1 billion US dollars.
The concept of cloud computing was actually proposed by Google in August last year, but this does not prevent the patent thief Xiao Qi children's shoes from registering the DreamPad patent last year, and it has been successfully registered one month in advance.
To put it simply, the "cloud computing center" and "cloud storage center" exist for intelligent electronic users to have a more intelligent function experience and data storage.
Because many software and games in the future need to be networked to carry out, at this time, all the data you have in this game is not stored separately in the database of the game company, but the game company borrows this "cloud computing center" and "cloud storage center" to optimize the processing, storage and backup of all data.
This not only reduces the burden of computing power and storage capacity of game companies, but also manages millions or even tens of millions of user data on the entire network in a unified manner. There is no embarrassment that the company's database will crash and the game data will be lost.
Of course, Xiao Qi is not a living Lei Feng.
On the surface, it seems to be serving the software developers and users of the DreamPad app store, but with this data, both software developers and users will be tethered to the DreamPad app store. Not at all afraid of where they will go.
At the same time, large-scale data gathering and ultra-high configuration operation and processing will also allow users to get a more enjoyable experience, which is simply different from those small companies' own servers.
As long as you have experienced games and software that have been processed by cloud computing and cloud processing, then few people are willing to use the game software processed by a separate small company's server.
This is also the reason why after the arrival of weishenme, whether it is Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon or IBM and other IT and electronics giants, have successively established "cloud computing centers" and "cloud storage centers".
By that time, small, independent electronics companies. Only in this wave of successive closures.
In fact, to put it bluntly, this is a disguised bundling behavior, and it is also a trend in the development of intelligent electronics.
However, it is not an overnight thing to develop a "cloud computing center" and a "cloud storage center".
Whether it is human, material or financial resources, it is a protracted investment. And then there's the maintenance and upgrade in the future, all these expenses. They are all terrifying gold-swallowing behemoths that are enough to bring down a business.
So don't look at those high-tech companies with high incomes, they also spend a lot.
High input and high output have become an iron law.
In the high-tech industry, there is not much opportunistic part.
Even Xiao Qi took the opportunity to produce the DreamPad first, but the development process after that. He still has to follow the rules and go down step by step, otherwise the DreamPad without innovation will only be chased and surpassed by competitors step by step, thus becoming the dust of history.
The nineteenth century was the century of Jishu.
The twentieth century was the century of science and technology.
The 21 st century is a century of big capital and big operation.
The blockade of China is very severe. Only by smashing out a road with money can we achieve the development of Xiao Qi's heart.
Compared with the financial giants on Wall Street abroad, Xiao Qi has only one or two tens of billions of dollars, which is not even scum.
This is also the reason why weishenme Xiao Qi is so short of money and does not dare to list DreamPad.
As soon as DreamPad goes public, those financial predators will definitely pounce on it, swallow DreamPad with bones, and then kick Xiao Qi away, and there will be nothing to do with Xiao Qi from then on.
Therefore, in order to raise money, Xiao Qi not only bet on oil futures with the two major investment banks, but also prepared to make a lot of money in the subprime mortgage crisis.
After the release of the new batch of DreamPads, Tong Wencong also brought another good news to Xiao Qi.
Following the deutsche Commerzbank and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Sakura Tobu Bank and Musashi Commercial Bank also signed contracts yesterday to purchase a portfolio of subordinated debt.
They are still guaranteed by American ACA insurance.
Xiao Qi felt a little embarrassed in his heart.
In the previous life, the ACA insurance in the United States endorsed two junk bond contracts, and it was so miserable that it almost went bankrupt, and now Xiao Qi has added two more to it, I'm afraid they can't escape the fate of liquidation.
But the teenager turned to think about it, have those European and American companies done less bad things to China?
So suddenly his heart calmed down, and he just told Tong Wencong not to be too high-profile.
In the midst of this year's subprime crisis, Paulson will make $20 billion for his fund and $3.7 billion for himself.
But compared to his previous life, Xiao Qi has far surpassed Paulson in terms of both the company and the scale of future profits.
Fortunately, Tong Wencong is much more stable than Paulson, and his personality is not ostentatious, as long as he is like other fund managers, he will not be picked out and used as the target of public criticism.
Goldman Sachs, the only one who knows the details, naturally does not dare to expose Paulson, a hidden giant, otherwise their butts will not be clean because they help Paulson sell junk bonds, and with Tong Wencong's pen, they will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
Therefore, even greedy predators like Goldman Sachs, as long as they are used well, they will not only become a tool for their own wealth, but also an umbrella for themselves to evade accountability! (To be continued......)
