After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 66 Hao Cheng feels that he has some luck
Gu Yufeng is analyzing what Baiju Technology urgently needs right now. There is one thing that is indeed very urgent, and that is the computing power server.

Originally, it wasn't that urgent, mainly because the speed at which many things developed had exceeded his expectations.

For example, the inversion of information recommendation rights caused by this social media incident was completely beyond his previous plan. It was just a matter of things happening.

It would be fine if it was just a social media short video platform, but an incident involving a band certainly wouldn't give it so much time to make its last stand.

If you do something well at first and then decline, if you delay for too long, something bad may happen.

Originally, I thought that the construction period of the computing center was two to three months, so the Android version of Xiaosha being three months late would not be a big deal.

But it has only been more than 20 days and the situation has developed into what it is today.

"Linjiang's computing power center..." Hao Cheng thought. The Linjiang computing power center has been completely handed over and the computing power is sufficient.

However, although there is no agreement here that it must be used by Huawei itself, the built-in contract for the Mate70 series has been signed, so it must be met, which is also a problem.

"If there is a ready-made computing center, preferably one that can be used right away, that would be the best, Xiaosha, Xiaosha!" Before going to the appointment with Gu Yufeng, Hao Cheng specifically instructed Xiaosha to check the situation of the intelligent computing center in Linzhou. Maybe there really is some surplus.

[Here! The relevant news is as follows: On June 2024, 6, Linzhou News, the province’s largest artificial intelligence computing center started construction, and it is expected that the first and second phases will be put into use by the end of 21.

[By then, the center will achieve a peak computing power of 10000P!

[According to Xiaosha’s assessment, the computing center currently has a vacancy rate of over 95%. Its owner is Airport Digital City Development and Construction Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned enterprise of the Airport Development Zone Management Committee.]

……

"Airport Development Zone? It's completely empty? That's a complete waste! It's just right for Baiju Technology!" Gu Yufeng also had his eyes on the Linzhou Intelligent Computing Center.

But the trouble is that the Airport Development Zone nominally belongs to Linzhou, but in reality it is managed by a provincial agency, so it feels like they are not under the same jurisdiction. Moreover, the person in charge of the management committee there ranks higher than him in the province, so he really has no control over it.

But there is nothing that cannot be discussed, it’s all an exchange.

After entering the room and making a phone call, Gu Yufeng, who never showed his emotions, actually smiled. Secretary Li Heng also rarely agreed, "Secretary Gu, is it done?"

"In the first phase of the project, a total of 1000P of computing power was allocated to us." Gu Yufeng said, "There are 9000P left, which is said to be to promote [incentives to attract talents], promote the implementation of multiple artificial intelligence applications, and create an industrial chain cluster with "AI + industry" as the core.

"The official rhetoric is good, but no one has been introduced so far. Look at the projects in the Airport New Area, such as the logistics industrial park, logistics base, and cold chain center. The largest project in recent years is the introduction of BYD, a complete vehicle manufacturer...

"No, keep an eye on Baiju Technology, don't let them snatch it away!" Gu Yufeng was startled, but immediately reacted:

"It's still not right. I was stupid today! The computing center can't be moved away, and the R&D center can't be moved to the Airport New District. That place is not suitable at all. Therefore, all of this is destined for us. I promised him so much!"

Gu Yufeng rarely said a few more words, which sounded like complaints, but only his grinning mouth proved his true feelings: What's the point of putting the computing center in the Airport New Area? At most, it will consume a little more electricity. Baiju Technology is actually registered in the High-tech Zone.

……

Hao Cheng felt that he had some luck. He was just talking about it when it happened.

Gu Yufeng's flattery touched Hao Cheng's heart, and the meeting between the two was uneventful.

Hao Cheng has lived here since he was a child, and he has no intention of leaving unless necessary. Moreover, Gu Yufeng gave him a big gift right from the start - the first phase of the Linzhou Intelligent Computing Center project with a total investment of 23 billion yuan and a comprehensive computing power of 1000P (1E), which was transferred at the original price and could be paid in five years without interest.

Moreover, this price does not include surrounding supporting facilities, including electricity, network and other basic projects. In Gu Yufeng's words, this should be the supporting facilities provided by the government to the enterprises. Just use it with confidence, and no one can say anything.

This price doesn't even include the money for land transfer, so it's basically half sold and half given away.

No one dared to do this a few years ago, but recently, it has become commonplace - many places have really woken up, and the business environment is far from comparable to that of a few years ago.

Especially companies that can generate huge value, every one of them is very popular.

The situation where a section chief controls an entire enterprise may still exist in some places, but similar stories like Chongqing's promotion of SERES are also constantly happening in many places.

Linzhou has always done well in this regard and is the place that has learned the most from the coastal areas. Its various government affairs special areas are also well organized.

However, due to its own economic and industrial reasons, the transformation has not been smooth and there is nothing we can do about it.

Now, Baiju Technology suddenly appears. This is an opportunity that has fallen from the sky. If we fail to seize it, then there will be nothing to say.

For companies like Baiju Technology, let alone Linzhou, even if they move to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, they have to pay more attention to these places.

If Gu Yufeng could make the decision on his own, he would even be willing to give this computing center worth 23 billion directly to Baiju Technology.

Of course, even if he dared to give it, Hao Cheng would not dare to accept it without a reason. If he needed a reason, such as following the example of the Shanghai Stock Exchange to introduce Tesla to sign a bet agreement, Hao Cheng might not be happy about it. The current situation is pretty good.

……

"Do you think that platforms like orchestras really have no future?" Finally, Gu Yufeng asked about the orchestra.

"No, no, no, Xiaosha is not a platform, and it cannot replace any platform. As an AI, it just helps its owner make the most appropriate choice, that's all."

Hao Cheng explained: "For platforms, it is impossible to make huge profits by relying on information and traffic. But if you can understand yourself clearly, know what problems your service solves for others, how much it is worth, and then charge according to the service you provide, you can still survive.

"It is definitely not feasible to get paid without working, or to get paid more for less work," Hao Cheng concluded, "but it is only natural that you get what you sow, and you get what you pay for.

"You get what you sow, and you get what you pay for." Gu Yufeng nodded: "It's a very simple truth."

He can't say more given his status, but this kind of simple truth is, to some extent, extremely rare in today's society where capital is frantically grabbing profits and wealth is constantly accumulating.

"Baiju Technology seems to be working on something very new." This is what Li Heng said when he reported to Gu Yufeng earlier, and at this moment, Gu Yufeng had the same feeling.

This reminded him of Gao Zhixiang's high praise for Hao Cheng. Now it seems that this young man does have his unique qualities.

Unconsciously, Hao Cheng's position in Gu Yufeng's heart has been further strengthened.

Before leaving, he decided to keep Hao Cheng in suspense: "I have another gift prepared for you."
