Chapter 236 Guangjia Aerospace also wants to give it a try
What Chen Yuanguang did not say clearly is that Alpha Technology will expand data centers on a large scale throughout Malaysia, not just Johor.
Only when you launch user-oriented applications and the larger the user base is, will you have a legitimate reason to expand your data center.
After reaching a certain stage, relying on Malaysia’s mountainous terrain, there is every reason to dig a disaster recovery center buried deep underground.
“We are a global technology giant, so setting up a data backup center is not too much, right?
As for your question, why do we need to build a professional and solid fortification 50 meters deep underground for the purpose of preventing nuclear attack?
I can only say that as the only global technology giant headquartered in Malaysia, or Southeast Asia to be precise, we store the data of ** billion users from more than 100 countries around the world, which further improves the security factor. Have any questions? ”
This is a conspiracy, the main focus is to be fast, accurate and ruthless.
Data centers spread across 13 states in Malaysia and the surrounding Lion City, Bangkok and Pengcheng. Ma even built the data center underground. When the day comes when Alpha reveals the identity of the artificial intelligence, how will external forces determine which one is the real one?
Is it possible to carry out a nuclear bomb attack on the entire Southeast Asia?
< br>
Princess Amina naturally didn't know about Chen Yuanguang's plan, and Samad's identity was like a firewall between them.
"No problem." She thought there was nothing wrong with the other party's appeal.
Twenty years ago, it may have been a rare thing for technology giants to require different rights for the same shares in financing, which offended the giants on Wall Street, but in the past ten years, even Didi has used investors’ money to raise funds like this. Any major company can require AB shares to protect the founder team’s control over the company. This is a very legitimate reason.
Amina even felt that Samad’s request was a bit humble. If Alpha Technology was an American company, could the conditions be raised even higher? For the first time, she deeply felt the weakness of Malaysia.
As an absolute carnivorous class in Malaysia, Amina has never felt that Malaysia is weak. In her opinion, Malaysia has beautiful scenery everywhere. Is there oppression? Doesn't exist.
When a unicorn with interests related to her appears within her jurisdiction, Amina's status in her current form will change from an oppressive class in the country to an oppressed class in international business operations.
She may not be aware of this clearly, but the subconscious discomfort it brings her is real.
“Mr. Samad, I think your appeal is completely legitimate, I still have a few questions.
The first point is valuation. What do you think of this round of financing, Alpha Technology What valuation is appropriate?
The second point is future expectations. What are Alpha Technology’s future expectations? I believe that with Alpha Technology’s business model and development prospects, it will definitely not be a round. Financing is over.
It requires a huge amount of funds, and we need to go through rounds of financing to tie as many allies as possible onto our tank.
It is not easy to defeat Google with technology alone. We need strong allies to help us in supervision, laws and regulations, funding and other aspects. So when is the end?
Is our goal to be listed on Nasdaq, or to replace Google in the search engine field, or what? Amina asked, “Because that’s the only way I knew I was going to introduce our vision to the financing pitch.” ”
The second question is how to draw this pie.
Everyone knows that this pie is very big. One hundred billion US dollars is just the starting point. The question is whether it is a pancake, a pancake or a filling. Cake.
While Alpha Technology was working hard for its first round of financing, many companies in Shenhai, the financial center of China, thousands of miles away, wanted to get a piece of the pie to see if they could get on the train.
America is not the only one who can see opportunities. Chinese capital, which has been rich for a long time, has no worse sense of smell than Ameliken. What they lack is experience.
"Mr. Lin, have you heard of Malaysian Alpha Technology? They have been very popular on the Chinese Internet recently because they launched an artificial intelligence search engine called Hornbill." From Jing Jing of Guangjia Aerospace Li Haide, the vice president hired by Ke Energy, talked eloquently.
After he joined Guangjia Aerospace, he was the vice president in charge of investment and business, which was closely related to his previous resume.
In the past, when he was at JinkoSolar, he was responsible for investing in JinkoSolar’s upstream and downstream suppliers. After coming to Guangjia Aerospace, it was similar. Guangjia Aerospace has a large number of cooperative manufacturers in the upstream and downstream. Opportunity for substantial investment.
After starting work with Xiaomi, Lei Jun's Shunwei Capital and Xiaomi's own investment company invested in Xiaomi's supply chain companies, many of which were listed on the market by being suppliers to Xiaomi.
The logic of Guangjia Aerospace Investment is similar, except that Chen Yuanguang is not interested in splitting out his own investment company for commercial investment activities, so they only have one investment entity.
Lin Jia smiled and nodded, thinking that this company’s angel round was invested by me. To be precise, I invested in the founder’s angel round:
“ Of course, Hornbill is very easy to use, but you have to go through the firewall when using it, and you have to perform a bypass action before each use. Other than this, it is much easier to use than Baidu.
Baidu's stock price fell last night. 18 points, Hong Kong stocks fell sharply today. If Google falls, it can rise back, but if Baidu falls, it will not come back.”
After all, without a search engine, Google still has YouTube and Android. Without a search engine, Baidu has nothing. You can’t say that Apollo autonomous driving can support a market value of hundreds of billions.
Li Haide nodded: "Alfa Technology's main business includes not only artificial intelligence, but also cryptocurrency exchanges.
Both are the most cutting-edge businesses at the moment, and the ones that excite me the most Yes, their founder has shown extraordinary strength.
This strength is almost all-round, both technically and commercially.
We have done RSA internally. If you don’t look at the review of the cracked encryption system, everyone thinks that they can use this ability to tell the outside world that banks are no longer safe.
Take the opportunity to go long on cryptocurrencies.
But none of us could have imagined that not only would we disclose the underlying algorithm on how to crack it, but we would also make the quantum computer at hand a public cloud and provide it to the outside world.
And it can be successfully predicted that hacker organizations will use this ability to attack financial institutions.
The diversification of this method is beyond our imagination.
If there is no latter, then BTC will rise by at most 2 to 3 points, because the establishment of consensus is very difficult, especially when quantum computers are used in cryptographic attack and defense.
But with events as a comparison, consensus was established in an instant. Even if the news did not report it, it would only take half an hour at most for the financial circle in the information age to complete consensus building.
The skyrocketing rise of BTC is beginning to be unstoppable.
Samad is very strong. His superb strategic skills in the RSA battle alone are enough to make investors excited, not to mention the potential shown by Alpha Technology. ”
The RSA battle has been included in the textbooks of major business schools around the world, and is hailed as a classic case of how to use new technologies to maximize benefits.
Lin Jia listened from Li Haide’s mouth After that, I roughly guessed what the other party wanted to say: "You mean, we also have a hand in Alpha Technology's financing? ”
Li Haide nodded: "Yes, I think our previous investments were limited to the upstream and downstream enterprises of Guangjia Aerospace. We can appropriately invest in some projects with huge benefits.
Global companies like Alpha Technology It’s an eye-catching target, but we can actually get involved.
I don’t think we have a chance. After all, for a project of this level, with Samad’s unconstrained strategic vision, he must have very strict requirements for investors. .
Guangjia Aerospace’s strength is in the aerospace field, and there is too little overlap with Alpha Technology.
But I think we should expand the scope of investment and participate. Projects like Alpha Technology are also a way to make a name for yourself in the industry
Tell the outside world that the investment department of Guangjia Aerospace is not only engaged in commercial aerospace-related investments.
When good projects appear in the future, we may not have no chance. ”
The reason why Li Haide has such considerations is that in the foreseeable future, the profitability of Guangjia Aerospace will become stronger and stronger with the space station project.
On the books With the huge amount of funds available, more projects can be invested after forming positive cash flow
Lin Jia nodded after listening: "I think what you said makes sense, you can try it.
Maybe Alpha Technology has taken a fancy to us."
Wanli, Johor Bahru City In the Mel Hall of the hotel, guests from all over the world gathered together and were divided into two groups. One group was in suits and leather shoes, with serious expressions, and exuded the aura of being a Wall Street elite.
Fortunately, the air-conditioning in the five-star hotel is fully turned on, otherwise I would feel dizzy in the weather like this in Malaysia.
Although to the waiter at the Renaissance Hotel, this place looks like a training site for a security company. The only difference is that these security guards have a laptop, which is not standard equipment for security personnel.
Everyone looked at the men in suits except for their colleagues, who were all wary.
The other group wore shorts and short sleeves, as if they were on vacation, but they were a little cold from the air-conditioning.
In the past week, Google's market value has fallen by 30%. In addition to Google, many companies related to artificial intelligence are rising.
America’s consensus is that the U.S. stock market cannot collapse. Google is in danger, so let’s trumpet the benefits of artificial intelligence. We don’t know who the next giant to be subverted by artificial intelligence will be, but American’s The artificial intelligence industry is definitely the first in the world.
So even if one of the big7 companies goes down, the U.S. stock market will still win. Google plummets, but Nasdaq can still be stable. People have to lament that the trading ability of U.S. stocks is really strong.
At the same time, Wall Street elites joked that Samad was still inferior to Wright. Only Wright could prevent the Federal Reserve from saving the U.S. stock market.
Google can be subverted by technology companies in Southeast Asia. This would only be regarded as a joke before the emergence of Alpha, but now the joke is increasingly likely to become a reality.
In just one week, Hornbill is rapidly encroaching on Google's market share in a large number of countries other than Chinese and English.
Calculated based on the number of search engine occurrences, their market share outside of countries where Chinese and English are native speakers has exceeded 20%.
This is an exaggerated number, because Global Communication services require charges.
In the French eBay market, sharing Hornbill accounts has become a fashionable thing.
The outside world has predicted that if Hornbill is willing to open the global communication function for free, then Hornbill's market share will soon exceed 50%.
Google will return to English-speaking countries.
As for the Chinese-speaking countries, the largest among them does not allow Hornbill to enter its market.
GFW becomes Baidu’s best partner.
But just because Google does not accept Chinese regulations does not mean that Alpha Technology does not accept Chinese regulations.
Will China make demands for Baidu that Alpha Technologies cannot accept? No one dares to bet, especially the capital market.
After all, everyone is investing real money. If Hornbill can enter the Chinese market, Baidu will have only one ending: it will be swept out of the game.
Robin was so distressed that he personally led the team this time when he came to Malaysia.
Wang Haifeng came first, and two days after arriving, Robin bought Zhang Fei’s ticket to Lion City.
The big bosses who came were not only Robin, but also two of the 18 Arhats from Ahri, the brains of Goose Factory's investment business, and so on.
“It’s so impressive. It’s the first time I’ve seen technology companies in Southeast Asia be so impressive.
This is my first time in Johor Bahru.”
The atmosphere here is amazing. It refers to holding a financing promotion meeting in Johor Bahru. Generally, Malaysian technology companies raise funds either in the Lion City or Kuala Lumpur.
Because the financing targets of Malaysian technology companies are overseas financial institutions, none of them will have their headquarters in Johor Bahru.
Furthermore, senior executives with decision-making power fly in from overseas, and there are no direct flights to Johor Bahru.
“There is no way, even if you don’t look at Hornbill’s momentum now, it’s even scarier than Facebook back then.
After all, Facebook was only popular in the United States back then, and no one knows whether it can or will not Go overseas.
Hornbill's goal is to target global users from the beginning. The two names of Global Access and Global Access are simply overwhelming.
It does not look like a Malaysian company. I have never seen it. Which Malaysian company has a global perspective?”
"Yes, at that time they asked Goldman Sachs for H300 instead of cash. Our team even teased them during the meeting, saying that Malaysian people are smart and have weak skills. Wouldn't it be a good idea to make a fortune to support their retirement? I really thought that I could do something great in the field of artificial intelligence. .
It only took two months for me to be slapped in the face.”
“Who could have guessed this scene?
Malaysians themselves can’t guess it.
Back then, Goose Factory had a ticket saying that QQ was the ticket for the PC era, and WeChat was the ticket for the mobile terminal, so maybe Hornbill was the ticket for the artificial intelligence era.
We are all here, waiting for the chance to buy a ticket.
Compared with financial institutions, I think this is the advantage of Internet companies. ”
The entire Southeast Asia is a die-hard support area for Alpha Technology. Under the spontaneous call of the people, in most of this area, the number of searches for Hornbill has exceeded that of Google, and the golden cross has been activated.
Local awareness has never been stronger.
“Good afternoon everyone, it is an honor to meet elites from all over the world to participate in Alpha Technology’s financing promotion meeting. ”
