Chapter 619 Buying Won't Work?

Jimmy Lohanton didn't know that Yang Cheng started to expand his thinking because of a problem with him, and his mind wandered.

For the questions that followed, Yang Cheng answered neither salty nor bland, neither greasy nor nutritious, and when the time was up for an hour, Su Su stood up and started to push people away.

Yang Cheng didn't care about these things, so she called Ruiz directly to Eddie's office.

"Boss? Why are you here?" Eddie, who was working, heard the knock on the door and raised his head to see that Yang Cheng and Ruiz visited together. This is a rare phenomenon, and he hurried out of the desk and asked in surprise.

Yang Cheng pressed his hands, and he was not polite, sat down on the sofa, and said seriously, "We have been using Amazon's cloud data services in other countries and regions except the United States, and the cost is too high, and this cost will increase with the increase of the cost." Our market share is still increasing. It’s okay in a short time, but it’s not a problem in a long time. I decided to build our own data center in the global market. Although we started late, self-sufficiency is still necessary.”

For the good things about the company, Eddie agreed a hundred times. Pushing round glasses, he said excitedly, "Great boss, this is definitely a wise decision. Quora, which we acquired before, has been in the system since they entered the system. Doing technical research on big data, the technology is not a problem now, as long as we increase the cost investment, it is enough to meet our own needs.”

Yang Cheng nodded, "Let's do it. New Era Media will spend 1 billion US dollars to start construction. I will start the C round of financing as soon as possible. Except for the necessary operating funds, the rest will be invested in the construction of the big data center. At least Guaranteed to have 2 large cloud data centers on each continent.”

Eddie nodded excitedly, "No problem boss."

On the contrary, Ruiz hesitated for a while and said, "The construction of a big data center is imperative, but is it reasonable to invest so much at one time? You must know that if this money is placed in the four-dimensional space, I am sure that it will be doubled in half a year." Times, recently we have many projects that have not entered the market due to funding problems.”

Eddie opened his mouth and did not speak. Recently, his relationship with Ruiz has become more and more rigid. Without him, one is the CEO of the parent company, and the other is the CEO of the core assets. The reason still stems from Yang Cheng, the healthy competition among his subordinates is what his big boss wants to see. If the subordinates are harmonious or even clique, he will worry about whether his position is stable.

As the saying goes, companions are like companions to tigers, and the emperor’s temper is unpredictable. Ruiz and Eddie feel the same way, but there is nothing they can do about it. Even if they know that the conflict between the two is deliberately provoked by Yang Cheng, they dare not There is a second word, and even let this conflict intensify. Without affecting the company, the harder the fight, the happier Yang Cheng is. Just like this, the two of them have a real fire.

But fortunately, neither of them are naive children, and the struggle only exists within the scope of reasonable competition, neither affecting the company nor using indiscriminate means.

Of course, Ryze's rebuttal is not purely for trouble, he is also reasonable, and it is not worthwhile to put more money away and invest directly in infrastructure projects.

In Eddie's opinion, it is certainly worth it. First, after the big data center is completed, it is not as simple as saving 10 to 20 million yuan; second, having your own cloud computing is equivalent to holding your destiny in your own hands, and will not be restrained by others. , although there is still no contradiction with giants such as Google and Amazon, but after the Internet develops to the top, horizontal expansion is inevitable. ?

Yang Cheng also has his own considerations. The big data center must be built, but the money must be earned. Since Ruiz is sure to double the funds in a short period of time, that would be great. Anyway, the construction of the center is not a one-time investment, and it will be done step by step. Come on, make a time difference, earn money without delaying construction, why not do it.

It seems that the sooner the Series C financing, the better.

After the last round of financing,

Although New Era Media has set up a small part of the data center in the United States, it obviously cannot meet the expansion needs of the Toutiao app.

You must know that this year is not the craziest year for big data construction. Starting from next year, world-class giants including Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Oracle, etc. have stepped up the construction of data centers. If Yang Cheng didn’t remember If it is wrong, major companies around the world have invested nearly 20 billion US dollars in the construction of data centers in the coming year. If Yang Cheng does not want to fall behind, he must step up to catch up.

After leaving Eddie's office, Ruiz grabbed Yang Cheng who wanted to go back upstairs, and talked about the situation of Club Med, "Boss, our people found Henry, the CEO of Club Med, and this guy seems to be interested in us trying to bribe him The method is very disdainful, repeatedly refused to speak, and insulted the people we sent with words."

Yang Cheng frowned, "What else is going on? How much money have you prepared?"

Ruiz vaguely made a 1 gesture, "1 million euros, this price is quite high, equivalent to one-third of his annual salary."

Yang Cheng nodded, "There is no problem with the bid, so the problem lies with this Henry. It seems that this Frenchman is determined to oppose us?"

Ruiz added, "In addition, McKinsey sent a reply that the capital that Renaissance Capital can use is still very rich. At least our idea of ​​fighting a price war has failed, and they are not short of money."

Yang Cheng breathed out, motioned Ruiz to go to the stairwell, lit a thin cigar and started smoking. He needed nicotine to soothe his tense nerves before he could think of a way to deal with it.

Ruiz belongs to the old-fashioned school who doesn't smoke and drink, so Yang Cheng didn't bother to pass him cigarettes, "If the method of bribery doesn't work, then he will be abolished directly."

Yang Cheng has always been impatient with things other than women, so she said something viciously.

Ruiz's eyelids twitched. Although he gradually got used to Yang Cheng's sternness, every time he saw her face to face, he still felt a sense of uneasiness in his heartbeat.

"Have you investigated that Frenchman in detail?" Yang Cheng asked with squinted eyes, exhaling smoke rings.

The stairwell was very quiet, coupled with Yang Cheng's deep voice, there was a somewhat terrifying atmosphere.

Ryze swallowed, nodded and said, "I've checked, and he has all the problems a man should have, but they're nothing major, and it's hard to affect his career."

Yang Cheng understood that it was nothing more than taking care of a lover. In Europe and the United States, this kind of thing was too common, and they would not pay the price for it. At most, they would divorce their original wife? This can all be settled with money.

But to some extent, it can cause some troubles and make him overwhelmed. "Get some photos for his wife, send someone to encourage his wife to file for divorce, and ask for property distribution. I believe this Henry is absolutely incapable of satisfying his wife's appetite."

Ruiz pondered for a while, and understood how to operate. It is very simple. Let her wife ask for a huge breakup fee. At the critical moment, Henry absolutely does not allow the matter to spread to this point, so he has to get money to satisfy his wife's greed, where can he get a lot of money in a short time?

Besides Yang Cheng who is willing to give him, who else is willing to give so much money to help him solve his personal problems? As long as Henry accepts the money, isn't it up to Yang Cheng in the future?

This method is good. Just now Ruiz thought that Yang Cheng was going to send a killer to kill Henry, just for such a little thing, isn't it too ruthless?

Fortunately, Yang Cheng is not as cold-blooded as he thought.

"So how do we deal with Fuxing?" Ruiz asked again.

Yang Cheng flicked the ashtray into the ashtray above the trash can, took a puff and said, "Have you raised the price?"

Ruiz nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, I have raised it to 900 million euros. Fuxing has not moved yet, but judging from the results of McKinsey's investigation, Fuxing may call for 1 billion at any time. They are very interested in Club Med. The layout has been in place for more than a year, and we will never back down easily."

Yang Cheng was thoughtful, Fuxing Capital was also at the level of predators in country Z, but in the global capital market, the capital of Fuxing was not enough, not to mention how many years they had been at sea, Yang Cheng could understand Westerners Dirty?

He snorted and ordered, "Will the French Ministry of Commerce agree to this deal? Haven't they been resisting the flow of assets overseas?"

"In fact, there is the French Trust and Investment Bureau behind Club Med. This is the captain of the French national team. If they are willing to sell the shares in their hands, the Ministry of Commerce should not set a threshold." Ruiz is indeed a professional CEO. Yang Cheng glanced at him appreciatively. He believed that even without his own heresy, Ruiz could successfully snatch the prey from Fu Xing.

"It seems that you have already figured it out, don't you?" He asked happily.

Ruiz smiled wryly, this was indeed the last killer move he came up with, and it was also Chiguoguo's conspiracy, because as long as he took over the shares held by the French Trust and Investment Bureau, it represented the official attitude of France, and they were willing to sell Club Med to Four-dimensional space, but unwilling to sell it to a Z-funded company, hints that if Holiday Inn Group, the parent company of Club Med, doesn't understand it, then there is no need to mess around in France in the future.

It's just that compared to Yang Cheng's narrow-minded path, Ruiz's method took too long. Obviously, Yang Cheng couldn't wait that long, and there were many variables involved.

"If you agree, boss, I will go to Paris in person and have a face-to-face talk with the people from the French Trust and Investment Bureau." Ruiz asked for instructions.

Yang Cheng was a little hesitant. The Trust and Investment Bureau was equivalent to the French sovereign fund in disguise, and their every move served as a weathervane.

It's okay if the other party is willing to sell the shares, but what if they don't? Didn't everything he did before go in vain?

Yang Cheng's hesitation is whether to directly make the facts, and finally buy the shares held by the Trust and Investment Bureau, forcing them to sell if they don't, which seems safer. ()
