Chapter 1899 Burning Money
Today’s future bosses are completely unequal in front of Telecom, and from the perspective of ministries and commissions, it is difficult to get any attention.
The local government is quite cooperative and offers quite large discounts, but it only sticks to the traditional three links and one level. In fact, this is the last thing people working on the Internet need.
Therefore, with the four-leaf clover uniting it, everyone can feel a little stiffer when negotiating with Telecom, and can sit up straighter during ministry meetings.
From the perspective of the ministries and commissions, having a "regular army" like the Clover Group participate in this matter also makes them feel more at ease.
From the perspective of Telecom, Clover already has its own satellite lines and has little dependence on the newly opened Beijing-Shanghai lines. In turn, Telecom is more enthusiastic about Clover's many Internet application tools.
The current router is still Cisco 501, which is matched with the satellite line. The satellite line and the telecommunications switch are connected using DDN optical fiber. The services that can be run on it include email, search engines, portals, and news groups. , as well as services such as telnet and ftp.
Telecom’s technical strength on the optical fiber side is not bad, but on the satellite side it is also “eating crabs” and often requires the support of Clover Group, which is deeply involved in Internet application technology.
Of course, Clover Group is also willing to provide such support. Many applications require the cooperation of Telecom to open relevant interfaces and protocols to be implemented, and the willingness of both parties to cooperate is also very strong.
In fact, two of the first batch of telecom value-added licenses did not enter this track, namely Hexun and Century Internet. The remaining three, China Net, Yinghaiwei and Xunyejin.com, have all done it in the INTERNET The dream of enclosing land and replacing it with Telecom. The relationship between these three companies and Telecom is one of both cooperation and competition.
Faced with this situation, Telecom had to consider finding a more reliable partner and not to be overly manipulated in the Internet communications industry that it was just starting out and not familiar with.
Unlike several other ambitious companies, the other companies want to use their ISP qualifications to independently build China's private Internet lines, apart from China Telecom, and several have already started taking action. For example, Xunyejin.com claims to spend 400 million to build a network trunk connecting every city in China.
Although Clover Group has strong economic strength, complete ministries and commissions and a profound academic background, its research direction and group positioning also make Telecom feel at ease, because although Clover has its own satellite access Incoming lines, but I never thought about building the network lines myself. Instead, I chose to rent telecommunications lines to build the western network and campus network.
Due to the technical and financial strength issues in the southwest region, Southwest Telecom is responsible for the network transmission after the signal is launched. However, the satellite access technology is much inferior, and the support is provided by Clover Group.
The two parties quickly formed an in-depth cooperative relationship that is different from other ISPs.
However, the two parties went through very difficult negotiations on the price of line rental.
The price proposed by Telecom is four million yuan per month for each 2M line.
As for Zhou Zhixin’s price, the monthly rental fee is 20,000 yuan.
The gap between the two prices is really too big, and both parties feel that the other is making trouble unreasonably.
In the end, the lawsuit went to the ministries and commissions. The ministries and commissions made a settlement and proposed that the Clover Group should provide all the information equipment and line costs, while Telecom only provided the computer room and was responsible for maintenance and management, which was equivalent to the Clover Group. The complete set of Internet equipment was given to China Telecom, and the line rental price was reduced from 4 million per month to 80,000 per month. After having successful negotiation experience with Party A's uncle, the negotiations with Telecom that once made Erma Reading extremely difficult in the previous life have now become much easier under the leadership of Clover Group.
Even the first standard for transmitting Chinese on the Internet, the IETF protocol, was developed by Clover and has been adopted around the world. This alone made it impossible for all parties to avoid the Clover Group at that time.
There is also a side effect of this, which is to panic the Guangdong Province. The Southwest INTERNET has been set up, and the Guangdong Province is still negotiating, and the famous names of the advanced provinces are almost lost.
As a result, AsiaInfo finally got its first big order in China, spending US$5 million to build the INTERNET network in Guangdong Province.
Guangdong Telecom has only one requirement, and that is that the Internet network in seven cities must be fully opened before October 1st!
Zhou Zhi knows very well that in such a large industry, only one Clover Group cannot achieve big things. It must cultivate a large force. However, after such operations, China Internet The status as the "grandfather" of the industry is almost confirmed.
Although some of the buns were sold to five people, Zhou Zhi believed that with the abilities of these five people, they would be able to quickly expand the buns, and the portion that would eventually be given back to him would be far greater than what it is now.
The Clover Group will continue to deepen its efforts and engage in more complex and forward-looking information technology. With him, at least there will be no major directional mistakes. It is entirely possible to realize " The possibility of overtaking on a curve.
But overtaking in corners must start from the most basic. The most basic thing that can be done at present is to first upgrade the internal system of Clover Group and develop distributed computing power complex tools and task allocation tools as soon as possible. Complete the original architecture.
This is a very money-consuming behavior. Finally, after everyone discussed it, we decided to use four minicomputers, 20 servers, and 100 desktop computers to initially connect them in series to create a computing power system, striving to achieve a The computing power level of Taichung computers.
Guan Tingting and several literary and art workers were listening to the excitement, and now they finally felt that something was wrong: "Brother Tianyu just said that the computing power of four small computers is more than one medium-sized computer, why are twenty more computers added now? After adding a server and a hundred desktop computers, why is the computing power not increasing but decreasing?”
"Because the complex tools and scheduling system themselves also consume computing power." Zhou Zhi explained with a smile: "As for how large the system must be configured to demonstrate its superiority, or how to increase computing power under the current scale, then It depends on Xiaomiao’s ability.”
“What we are talking about now is how to solve the problem. It is inevitable to spend more money.”
“How much will it cost? Money? Computers seem to be quite expensive. "Hu Rui is now a young rich woman, and she still feels that the price of computers is expensive: "The better ones cost ten thousand or twenty thousand." “We also need to adapt to the computer room and machine Regardless of racks, power supplies, switches and other ancillary equipment, a desktop computer alone costs at least 20,000, and a server at least..."
"One hundred thousand, a minicomputer 300,000," Hu Lidong already had it in his mind. Got a rough spectrum.
"Wow..." The literary and art workers were simply amazed: "Five million and two hundred thousand! It's enough money for us to hold more than 20 concerts, and it's all gone with just a few words from you!"
