Chapter 223: Over-the-top flow
“We hope to acquire the data center currently built by GDS in Nusajaya Science and Technology Park.” Oraz was already at the GDS headquarters in Pengcheng at this time.
The acquisition of Forest City is completely a rumor that came from nowhere.
What Alpha Technology really wants to acquire is the data center built by GDS in Malaysia.
The graphics card from Goldman Sachs will be delivered soon. The graphics card worth 5 billion US dollars must find a place to let it run and realize its value.
We need to use this huge computing power to create an application that can change the world.
Chen Yuanguang doesn't want to waste any time. It's too slow to build a data center by himself. It would be a waste if the huge amount of cash on hand is not spent and turned into resources.
After Oraz, on behalf of Samad, met with the official in charge of investment promotion in Johor and made a commitment to invest US$15 billion in Johor in the future, Johor’s investment in Alpha Technology It's on call.
This time I went to Pengcheng and it was Johor who helped me bridge the gap.
The global financial infrastructure crisis subsided after Alpha Technology stopped providing quantum computing cloud services to the outside world, but people’s interest in who Samad is has not disappeared.
This has also become the most discussed conspiracy theory among netizens around the world recently. Oraz is Samad at the forefront of various speculations.
GDS CEO Huang Wei did not dare to underestimate the young Southeast Asian-looking man in front of him, especially when he knew that he had tens of billions of dollars in cash.
“The data center in Nusajaya is very important to us, it is related to our entire Southeast Asia strategy.
In principle, we will not sell it to outsiders”
Ola He interrupted directly: "In the context of China, if it's not possible in principle, it's OK, and if it's possible in principle, it's not possible."
Huang Wei's expression changed, and the chief technology officer next to him looked like he had seen a ghost: "Mr. Oraz, have you ever stayed in China?"
Since GDS will choose to build a data center in Malaysia, from now on From site selection to negotiation to implementation, there was no shortage of interactions with Malaysians.
There are also so-called "China-connected" people in Malaysia, but no one can reveal their subtext like Oraz.
So direct and unabashed.
Olaz shook his head: "No, if we have stayed, we should talk in Chinese instead of English.
I just did enough homework. ”
A person who has been able to write a personal blog for several years. Most of the blog content is on the study of cryptocurrency regulations.
Be able to detail every regulatory change and speculate on Malaysian regulations. It’s not surprising that people with different opinions from the authorities and the science and technology department can prepare to this extent
Huang Wei said: "Mr. Oraz knows so much, so we will be more direct and see if we can sell it. Is the price right?
The reason why we chose to build a data center in Nusajaya is to provide infrastructure services to enterprises throughout Southeast Asia.
We have signed contracts with many companies, and some of these contracts are still being fulfilled.
If we sell the data center to you, it means that we cannot fulfill these contracts. It is not just a simple matter of compensation, but it will also seriously affect the reputation of GDS in the entire Southeast Asia region.
And when we re-select a location in Malaysia, build a data center, and win back customers, the time and cost involved are not ordinary.
We are unable to fulfill the contract and customers are forced to switch to other manufacturers, such as Amazon.
Amazon has been working hard in Southeast Asia for many years. It will be difficult for us to win back customers in the future. ”
Oraz heard only two words in the whole article: "Add more money."
"Make a price, Mr. Huang, no need to beat around the bush.
You make a price, it is within my scope of authority, and we sign a contract. It is outside my scope of authority. I asked Mr. Samad for instructions."
The chief technology officer sitting next to Huang Wei began to calculate their investment and losses while investing in the PPT, and finally came up with an amount: "3 billion US dollars. .”
Equivalent to six times the cost of GDS.
"It's too expensive." Oraz said, "We don't need to rush. You just reminded me that we can cooperate with Amazon first.
Although you claim to invest a total of US$1.2 billion, considering the first phase The investment for the first and second phases is only US$300 million.
This price is too insincere.
Mr. Huang, there are many data centers in Malaysia. There are many options, but we are the only ones who can buy data centers with cash rather than cash and options.
This is a buyer’s market, not a seller’s market.”
2 billion is the bottom line given by Samad, but on the basis of this bottom line, if Oraz can negotiate, he can take one thousandth of it as a bonus.
For his own benefit, Oraz is naturally very motivated.
After Huang Wei heard this, he thought to himself that you had just made five billion U.S. dollars from Goldman Sachs. We want three billion dollars, right? A second-rate dealer, earning five billion won't be able to support you to death.
But this is just a thought. The other party is right. The only advantage of Wanguo's data center is that it is new. This advantage is a bit too useless.
“2 billion?”
In the end, the two parties reached an agreement and packaged the acquisition of GDS's data center project in Nusajaya Park at a price of 1.453 billion.
Including the first and second phases of the data center that have been completed, and the third phase that has not yet started.
On the other hand, Goldman Sachs purchased AI chips from Nvidia, and the details of the transaction between Alpha Technology and Goldman Sachs were further disclosed.
Combined with the public cloud services that Alpha once provided, everyone realizes that the field of artificial intelligence will attract new players.
“We will continue to invest in Malaysia, which is the new center of the artificial intelligence industry in Southeast Asia.
Last year, Google said it would invest $2 billion to build a data center, Microsoft said it would invest $2.2 billion, and Amazon said it would invest $6 billion.
All major technology giants are investing in Malaysia. The boss once said that in fact, we should not be in the artificial intelligence business, but in the energy business.
With so many data centers under construction in Malaysia, energy is the most scarce resource within the foreseeable future.
But this is not important, because we hope to completely change the current situation in Malaysia through artificial intelligence. "As the spokesperson of Alpha Technology on the table, Oraz has become a celebrity in various news reports in Malaysia.
Johor is even more afraid that Alpha Technology will go to Kuala Lumpur.
After all, compared with Kuala Lumpur, the only advantage of Johor is that it is close enough to the Lion City.
“I recently read the news and saw a saying that you are already a top figure in the technology circle, and now Malaysia’s Samad is the new top figure in China.”
This This theory comes from the fact that Musk announced in a high-profile interview that he would join forces with Chen Yuanguang to build a car. This decision swept through all self-media and media like a hurricane.
I thought it would be popular for at least a few months, but with the sudden appearance of Samad, no one mentioned it anymore. Then netizens started to make comments about it.
Lin Jia knew that Samad was Chen Yuanguang, but he didn’t know how the other party did it, let alone how the other party developed his sophisticated financial skills overnight.
Unless there was a collaborator she didn't know about, but they had known each other since their freshman year, and they had never been separated until today. If there really was such a number one person, Lin Jia felt that he had heard of it anyway. A reasonable inference is that Chen Yuanguang really developed a powerful enough artificial intelligence in just half a year to assist him in completing all these operations.
Maybe Chen Yuanguang really found a talented person named Samad in the field of cryptography and finance in Malaysia.
It’s just that this possibility is even lower than artificial intelligence.
Lin Jia has countless confusions that he can only keep in his heart. The best way to keep it secret is that no one else knows about it except himself.
However, it would be too strange to keep silent about a global sensation like Samad in casual conversation.
So when Lin Jia met with Chen Yuanguang and talked about his recent experiences, he would occasionally talk about Samad.
Chen Yuanguang understood what Lin Jiati meant by Samad. She wanted to pretend that Samad had nothing to do with her.
With Lin Jia’s intelligence, Chen Yuanguang didn’t believe that he couldn’t guess the relationship between him and Samad.
“Yes, it’s amazing, 15 billion US dollars in 100 days is really an exaggerated figure.” Chen Yuanguang sighed.
Lin Jia complained: "You were almost the same back then.
But there is still a gap between liquid assets and stock market value.
I regret it now, when Quantum National Shield came to Guangjia When Aerospace promoted their Haohan-I quantum computer, they did not buy a few units.
At that time, it was sold for 50 million RMB. Who knew it could be sold for a sky-high price of 500 million US dollars now? br>And I heard that the technology giants in North America have even offered higher prices. As long as you have the goods in stock and can ship them to Mexico, they can offer as much as $800 million.”
Chen Yuanguang comforted: "Have you ever thought that Alpha Technology is engaged in a monopoly business.
That's why it can be sold at this price.
If China lets go of selling Haohan-I, I I think it can sell for up to 100 million US dollars.”
“It’s a monopoly business, just like the previous Switch fitness ring that tripled its price when it was first launched.
That's it, the right time, right place and right people are both indispensable.
If it weren’t for the amazing help from Da Mao’s hacker team in Israel and Swift, I don’t think this batch of subcomputers would have been sold at such a high price. "Lin Jia calculated.
Chen Yuanguang said: "Yes, and even if Guangjia Aerospace was sold at that time, it would not be possible to sell it to Amerikan Enterprises.
We shouldn’t earn this money. "
After saying the last sentence, Lin Jia rolled his eyes at him. The subtext was: Didn't you make a profit?
Chen Yuanguang pretended not to see it and continued: "If Guangjia Aerospace If I want to study it, I can apply to Lao Zhao and ask him to deploy two Haohan-Is.
You must know that I made great efforts when Quantum Shield was developing this quantum computer, and they are still inviting me now, hoping that I can help them develop a quantum computer with 100,000 qubits.
For us, there is no shortage of channels to buy vast. ”
Now not only are quantum computers not sold externally, they are not even sold internally.
Big companies like Goose Factory, Baidu, and Alibaba all want to buy Haohan -I took it back to study.
Alibaba and Huawei have bought it before, and I want to buy two more.
In their view, the most critical technology here is nothing more than room-temperature superconductors, and cutting-edge technology has always had cooperation in the field of room-temperature superconductors.
Domestic companies have ways to buy room temperature superconductors.
Therefore, these domestic technology giants all want to reverse engineer Haohan-I, and Quantum National Shield is at the forefront. It does not mean that we cannot go this way.
Especially Huawei, Alibaba and Goose Factory hold this idea.
Have you not seen that the foreign Alpha Cloud provides quantum computer cloud services to the outside world, and a large number of customers are flocking to it at US$5,000 per hour.
If they could develop their own quantum computers and provide quantum encryption services through their own public cloud, how much money would they make?
Based on this expectation, the stock prices of Alibaba and Goose Factory have risen sharply.
“When will a quantum computer with 100,000 qubits be successfully developed?
I watched some videos on the Internet, saying that once the breakthrough reaches 100,000 qubits, the logic of the computer industry will be completely destroyed. Rewrite.
And now, aren’t all major mainstream financial institutions coming out to say that there are anti-quantum algorithms that can resist quantum computers in deciphering codes? When it comes to 100,000 qubits, these anti-quantum encryption algorithms will also become ineffective. Lin Jia said.
Chen Yuanguang shook his head: "No, it is invalid now.
For IBM's thing with one thousand qubits, anti-quantum algorithms are effective, but for quantum computers with units of tens of thousands, these anti-quantum algorithms are In essence, quantum algorithms cannot resist for a long time.
Now the deciphering time is only related to computing power. Once you are willing to use enough vast-I to build a quantum matrix, any anti-quantum algorithm is useless.
< br>And the current deciphering speed of the RSA algorithm is 10 seconds. If it reaches 100,000 qubits, this time will not even take 1 millisecond.
Anyway, I don’t know when it will come out. br>
But I think that when the quantum computer with 100,000 qubits is launched, financial institutions around the world will have to come to China to seek asylum in cyberspace.
Before, Amerikan provided a protective umbrella to these countries, but now it is China that provides a protective umbrella to these countries in cyberspace. "
Chen Yuanguang found it very interesting to think about such a future.
Lin Jia said: "Isn't it already being done now?
I read in the news that China is vigorously promoting the currency bridge. This time, almost more than 70% of the countries in the world have joined.
In addition to Amerikan, most European countries, Korea and Neon have joined the Currency Bridge organization.
From my understanding, Swift has been buried since the day it was breached by the Da Mao hacker team.
The sudden outbreak of the Currency Bridge has even announced that its brain death has officially entered a countdown. "
Chen Yuanguang asked: "What is brain death? "
Lin Jia said: "People can no longer function, but they still rely on some means to barely maintain their body functions. Isn't this very similar to Swift's future? ”
"It's indeed very similar." Chen Yuanguang thought for a while and felt that Lin Jia's metaphor was very subtle.
Now Amerikan is in an extremely dangerous situation, with internal turmoil and external younger brothers being disobedient. Some of the second, third, and fourth brothers are ready to make a move, and some have already made a move.
What’s even more frightening is that technology is changing so fast that the nuclear bomb you originally thought was a dud may be used against you by someone else.
