Urban: Becoming a principal from a junior college!

In fact, Ye Chen doesn’t need to pay too much attention to the specific things in the big entertainment industry.

The problem of being harassed in the review is not as serious as imagined.

After all, the company has already made arrangements for this situation.

A large number of influential partners have been brought in in advance.

At the same time, for the filming of the first part of the movie "Sleeping Immortal", Xingchen Academy also gave a portion of investment shares to several major Hollywood companies such as Disney.

For such a business that is sure to make money, each company will naturally invest money without hesitation, and even think that the share is too small.

With these Hollywood giants, the problems encountered in the North American market will surely be easily solved.

…

And then, the person in charge of the game company reported something more important.

"Principal, our cloud server costs too much..."

"The stability of each cloud server manufacturer is still a little bit worse. The game has been online for a month and there have been three server fluctuations. Fortunately, they were resolved quickly."

"But the server is not ours. When we encounter problems, we still have to rely on the other party's maintenance personnel. The level is uneven and it is difficult to trust."

"And because our game is popular, the server requirements are high, and the other party's quotation is getting higher and higher."

"Before the game was launched, if you hadn't temporarily allocated the artificial intelligence professional server to bear the pressure, it would have collapsed directly..."

"And after that, our games will inevitably increase, and the demand for servers will also increase. Higher and higher. "

"Although cloud servers are relatively mature now, if there is a problem, it will be a big problem. For example, even Google, the world's largest cloud service provider, deleted the data of an Australian company that manages the pensions of millions of people a few days ago because of a mistake?"

"Building a server room by yourself will greatly save costs, and at the same time be more autonomous and secure."

"General game companies may not need it, and the investment is too high. But there are too many users of our games, and the number of games and the number of players served will continue to grow in the future..."

Ye Chen did not expect that the person in charge of Xingchen Game Company would actually raise the issue of building a server room by himself.

After thinking about it, Ye Chen agreed.

All network services need to be supported by servers.

And Xingchen Academy has many needs.

For example, facial recognition for access control, various small programs, apps that provide various services to students, and even the simplest canteen card swiping for meals all require server support.

And games need server support even more.

If the server is not good, you will feel stuck when playing games, or even disconnect.

It is said that Penguin gave the good servers to LOL and the bad servers to DNF, which led to the widespread spread of the offline city warriors...

The future development of Xingchen Academy will definitely require more server resources.

If the affiliated enterprises want to modernize their offices, they must need server support.

This is especially true for games.

Even games are not the most important.

For example, the newly opened artificial intelligence major, artificial intelligence business needs servers to support it.

Like face recognition, it is a kind of artificial intelligence.

As students majoring in artificial intelligence begin to try projects, run models, and even launch commercial artificial intelligence.

They all require massive server resources.

For the case where the demand for servers is not high, it is naturally more cost-effective and worry-free to use cloud services.

But if the demand is huge.

It is undoubtedly more worry-free to build it yourself.

All the data is in your own hands, and it is also safer.

After thinking for a while, Ye Chen consulted the director of the artificial intelligence major.

As the director of the artificial intelligence major, the other party is undoubtedly very knowledgeable about this aspect.

After listening to Ye Chen's ideas, he immediately expressed his affirmation.

"I was planning to report this to the principal after the New Year..."

"We need to build our own server room."

"Large models of artificial intelligence are very resource-intensive projects. The servers in the department are more than enough to meet the needs of students, but if they are commercialized, they will be completely insufficient."

"If we build our own computer room at that time, it will undoubtedly delay too much time."

Hearing this, Ye Chen also understood.

It seems necessary to build a computer room.

The only difficulty is spending money.

But Ye Chen is never stingy about things that are good for future development.

So, when the director of the artificial intelligence major was thinking about how to get the principal to invest more money in the computer room.

Ye Chen took the initiative to say: "The estimated annual profit of "Evolution of Mountains and Seas" is about 50 billion, so take 50 billion to build a computer room first."

"Add more later if it's not enough."

When the director heard this, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.

My principal is really generous.

I originally thought that it would be good to get 20 billion, but the principal opened his mouth and more than doubled it.

But this is a good thing.

A completely autonomous computer room will be of great help to students majoring in artificial intelligence in the future.

"The principal is generous! With such an autonomous computer room, students majoring in artificial intelligence can design freely in the future without worrying about the load!"

Ye Chen smiled and nodded: "There are so many majors in the college, and artificial intelligence is a high-tech major, so I naturally attach the most importance to it."

"As long as there is a demand for artificial intelligence, tell me at any time. Our college is not short of money!"

The director smiled immediately after hearing this, and then said: "Then I would like to thank the principal on behalf of the students!"

"The next step is to locate the site! We need to choose an area with a stable climate, non-seismic zone, and abundant hydropower and wind power as the address for the computer room."

"After all, servers are very energy-consuming and have high energy requirements. Hydropower and wind power are cheaper. If they are sufficient, they can save a lot of operating funds."

"Secondly, we must avoid earthquake zones, otherwise if the computer room is affected by an earthquake, it will definitely suffer heavy losses."

"Finally, the temperature of the computer room must be suitable enough and not too high. The server room is seriously overheated, and most of the electricity is actually used for cooling and ventilation..."

"If the innate ambient temperature is low enough, it will also reduce the operating and maintenance costs."

The director of the artificial intelligence major had already imagined this problem.

So he had several plans in mind.

But when he was about to continue.

Ye Chen had an idea: "Then how about we design the computer room in Tianhai City?"

Hearing this, the director frowned immediately.

Tianhai City?

This was not in his original choice.

Tianhai City is a central city, it is extremely cold in winter and extremely hot in summer.

It is definitely not a suitable address for a computer room.

The director did not speak. He was very curious why his principal chose Tianhai City.

"First of all, Tianhai City has the Ganjiang River inside and the Yangtze River outside, and it is rich in hydropower resources."

"Secondly, Tianhai City is not in an earthquake zone. Tianhai City has been basically unaffected by several historic earthquakes. According to records, the largest earthquake in Tianhai City was magnitude 6, and it occurred in 1802, more than 200 years ago."

"Finally, it is the climate. Tianhai City has four distinct seasons, and it is indeed very hot in summer."

"But Tianhai City has abundant mountains, such as the Meiling Mountains, where the temperature is particularly suitable all year round."

"If we build a computer room inside the mountain, we can definitely save a lot of energy costs!"

Hearing this, the director, who originally disagreed in his heart, couldn't help but show a thoughtful look.

What his principal said seemed to make sense.

The computer room is close, which has advantages in many aspects.

The last is to hollow out the mountain to build a computer room, which is indeed feasible.

In order to dissipate heat from the server, technology giants around the world have made various attempts.

For example, Microsoft directly threw the server into the sea and used seawater to dissipate heat.

What about Pitaya? It directly put the server into a natural cave for heat dissipation.

Xunteng even built a computer room for cloud servers directly in the mountains.

It is indeed not a problem for the company to build a computer room in the mountains.

And the company has deep-rooted connections in Tianhai City.

Investing in the construction of a computer room will definitely get approval at the fastest speed, and there will be many support and convenient conditions.

If it is to be expanded in the future, it will be more convenient.

At the same time, the headquarters of the construction company of the college is also in the local area, so there is no need to allocate manpower, which is more cost-effective.

As for whether it is difficult to hollow out the mountain to build a computer room?

Judging from the level of the company's own construction company, it is definitely not difficult.

Anyway, after careful consideration, the director felt that there was nothing wrong with the idea of ​​the principal.

The company is fully capable of handling it.

Moreover, they are all internal enterprises, which consumes less funds and can invest more money in purchasing servers.

Ye Chen's idea is actually very simple.

Building in Tianhai City can give more internship opportunities to students majoring in architecture.

Secondly, if his own construction company does a good job, it will definitely get more high-value computer room construction orders.

In Ye Chen's view, just like the increasing demand for electricity by humans.

With the development of science and technology, the demand for server computing power by humans will also increase.

In the case of strong demand, it is definitely not a bad thing to lay out in advance.

When the construction of Xingchen New District is almost completed in the future, his own construction company will definitely be able to win more high-value-added orders around the world with these resumes and experiences.

And soon.

After learning that Xingchen College was going to invest 50 billion to build a computer room in Tianhai City, and this was only the first phase of investment, Tianhai City was even more happy.

In the past, Tianhai City had to run around to attract investment and beg for help.

But since the reopening of Xingchen College, the investment of Xingchen College in Tianhai City alone can largely meet the task requirements.

The surrounding enterprises attracted by Tianhai City have made Tianhai City top the list of urban economic growth in the country in recent years.

Today, Tianhai City's GDP has reached the third in the country.

It is only slightly behind the Magic City and the Imperial City.

But judging from the development speed of Xingchen Academy, it is obvious that Tianhai City will catch up with it in less than two years...

Being the first in the country seems to be no longer a dream.

Those responsible people who stay in Tianhai City and refuse to be promoted have even begun to look forward to when Tianhai City will become the world's largest city...

As for Tianhai City's request to dig mountains, it is not a big deal at all.

Although Meiling is a natural scenic spot.

But most of the mountains deep in the mountains are actually not worth developing.

Building a computer room inside the mountain is undoubtedly a reasonable use of resources.

The most important thing is that as Xingchen Academy does this, it may have a driving effect and attract more high-tech companies to invest in the construction of computer rooms.

This has too many benefits for employment and economic growth.

So.

Even though the New Year is coming soon, Xingchen Academy's application was approved after working overtime.

And it was widely publicized.

The 50 billion yuan investment naturally attracted a huge wave of attention from the entire network.

Game manufacturers were envious and trembling.

They all thought that Xingchen Academy built its own server room for the smoother development of the game business.

They didn't think of it at all.

Ye Chen himself didn't care much about the economic benefits brought by the game.

Ye Chen's vision is far longer-term than they imagined. (End of this chapter)
