Chapter 217 What Ah Li gave up, Bu Ya wants to pick up!
With Zhang Shuo's ambition for cloud computing, he will definitely not be satisfied with just the IaaS level.
If IaaS is the bottom layer of the "cloud computing building", then PaaS is the middle part of the "cloud computing building", providing a platform for users to carry out their work.
Specifically.
PaaS provides users with a complete set of tool software, allowing developers to conveniently develop program applications without spending huge sums of money to purchase a complete set of software. They only need to pay for the use of the software.
Users do not need to worry about software configuration and maintenance issues, as cloud service providers will solve them on their behalf, and users can focus more on research and development.
Another huge advantage of PaaS is "customization". Enterprises can ask the cloud service provider to provide a tool suite platform suitable for the company's actual situation.
Carrying out R&D work on an accurately matched platform can not only save corporate funds, but also effectively improve development efficiency and make cooperation between dispersed departments easier.
In this way, the research and development cycle can be shortened and the development of the enterprise can be promoted.
To realize PaaS, Qingyun Data first needs to complete the infrastructure construction of the data center, because this is the lowest level service, and then it needs to introduce and integrate a large number of development software.
At the same time, software updates and configurations must be maintained in real time.
For example, the Weixin Developer Platform has a large number of Weixin applets and mini-game developers, who can quickly develop based on the many tools and software provided by the Weixin Developer Platform.
It not only lowers the development threshold but also reduces the development cost.
Of course, this is just one type of PaaS platform. Others include big data analysis platforms, smart city platforms, smart manufacturing platforms, etc. It can be said that it is full of endless imagination.
"Regarding PaaS, there is a start-up company in Shancheng that provides one-stop services for enterprises - Bajie.com. You can check it out to see if there is any acquisition value." Zhang Shuo pointed to Du Ruiwen.
simply say.
As a platform that provides creative design, website construction, online marketing, copywriting planning and other services, Bajie.com connects corporate customers with relevant needs on one end and part-time or full-time freelancers on the other.
For many small and micro enterprises.
As long as you spend a little money, you can go to Bajie Online to find many people to complete tasks for you, such as LOGO design, packaging design, flyer design, etc.
Not only is the cost low, but also a large number of works can be received for small and micro enterprises to choose from.
Occasionally, you can also ask a master to complete the task.
Customers need low-cost good works, and freelancers need to sell their talents. The two naturally hit it off. Because of this, Bajie.com has attracted a large number of customers and freelancers to join.
It claims to have nine million Witkeys, solving the problems of many small businesses and corporate employees.
However, this business model has a fatal flaw, that is, it cannot stand up to the cleverness of the Chinese people. After many customers become familiar with Witkey, they no longer use Bajie.com for transactions, but actively request private transactions.
And if customers all trade privately, then Bajie.com will naturally lose a lot of income.
In fact, Bajie.com has become a channel for many companies to find customers. After using it, they will go to their own company channels, which is a typical ruthless way.
A similar case is Tubatu, a start-up also in Binhai City.
Because of this, Bajie.com did receive a large amount of financing after its rise to the top, and embarked on a path of rapid expansion and rapid development, but secretly the path became narrower and narrower.
The development prospects are actually not optimistic.
Zhang Shuo's idea is that if we can make strategic investments in these platforms and move them to Qingyun Data to become purely online service platforms, can we make some changes?
have to.
Just now I was alerted to be careful with money, but my investment spirit is rising again.
"In the near future, I will conduct an inspection and evaluation of Bajie.com."
Du Ruiwen has always attached great importance to the suggestions put forward by Zhang Shuo. He also urgently needs to say that he is looking for a breakthrough in the PaaS field.
If Qingyun Data wants to become bigger and stronger, it is definitely unrealistic to start everything from scratch.
Investment and mergers and acquisitions are an indispensable step.
This is not just Qingyun Data. Even giants like Google acquire Android systems through acquisitions and continue to upgrade the Android systems.
If you do everything yourself, it will last until the years of the monkey.
Don't wait for anyone at the critical moment.
In addition to PaaS, Qingyun Data may even get involved in SaaS in the future. Software as a Service (SaaS) is located at the top of the "cloud computing building" and is the largest market segment in the cloud computing market.
simply speaking.
It means putting the programs and software you use locally every day on the cloud.
For example, Microsoft launched Office 365. By combining applications such as Excel and Outlook with powerful cloud services such as OneDrive and Microsoft Teams, Office 365 allows anyone to create and share content anytime, anywhere using any device.
Let’s take another simple example, such as various video APPs. In the future, it will be possible to seamlessly connect the viewing progress of a certain video between multiple devices. In fact, it is a cloud computing service.
In addition, CRM, ERP, eHR and other systems will also be SaaS-based in the future.
The main advantages of this type of cloud service are its powerful functions and collaborative work.
For example, some big data analysis software requires powerful computing power support, and local servers cannot support such a huge workload, so SaaS model software is the best choice.
For those departments that are decentralized, SaaS software can solve the problem of collaborative office very well. For example, "Blue Lake", which is familiar to domestic design workers, is a representative of this type of software.
Blue Lake Original Time and Space will not be launched until January 2017, which gives Qingyun Data a chance.
But having said that, there are very few cloud service providers in China that specialize in providing SaaS services. Ali, which once invested a lot in this area, gave up SaaS as early as 2010.
The demand and market in this area will still be huge in the future, and Qingyun Data also has great potential.
What Ah Li gave up, Mei Ya wanted to pick up.
In general, Qingyun Data has great ambitions. If it wants to provide all three cloud computing services, it will definitely be a very long and extremely expensive project.
Results will never be achieved within a year or two.
Compared with PaaS and SaaS, what Qingyun Data is currently planning and implementing is to build two data centers in the Yangtze River Delta and Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, which is actually the simplest.
"By the way, when will Houhai Qingyun Data Center be settled?" Zhang Shuo asked.
"It's now semi-occupied."
Du Ruiwen explained with a smile: "The servers and other equipment in the data center have been installed and are undergoing final debugging. Qingyun Data has arranged for a working group to be stationed there. The decoration of the attached office building is also nearing completion. The plan is to open Qingyun on June 28
The data is moved in as a whole.”
"The efficiency is quite high. Are there any difficulties that the group needs to solve?"
Zhang Shuo vaguely guessed that Du Ruiwen moved before July in order to free up the office area of the Germination Building as soon as possible and make way for new employees.
It's true that it's intentional.
Even if the renovation is completed, there will definitely still be a lot of formaldehyde and other harmful gases.
"Others are nothing, except that Houhai is quite remote. It's a bit far from the city center. The commuting time for Qingyun Data employees will probably double. I have a slight complaint."
Du Ruiwen was also having a headache because of this.
"This is indeed a problem."
Zhang Shuo was also a small employee in his previous life, and he can understand the pain of squeezing on buses and subways in Binhai City. The longer commuting time may seem like a small problem, but it greatly affects the happiness index of employees.
It is necessary to pay attention to it.
"Well, in order to encourage everyone to rent a house again near Houhai, Qingyun Data will give each employee a rental subsidy and transportation subsidy within the next year. You can decide the specific amount."
"Thank you Mr. Zhang!"
Du Ruiwen was very happy, this helped him a lot.
"This is all as it should be. After you go back, tell my colleagues at Qingyun Data that when the youth apartment project is completed, they will be the first batch to move in."
This is why Zhang Shuo limited the subsidy to one year.
If the company already provides apartments and dormitories, then you still have to rent an apartment in the city center. If you miss the bustling city center, then you should bear the commuting costs yourself.
A good old man should not deserve this.
…………
After Du Ruiwen left, Zhang Shuo turned on the computer.
In the past weekend, he had no leisure time. He drank tea with Mr. Ren and talked on the phone with his second uncle. The public opinion on the Internet was also very lively, and it was basically aimed at the sprouts.
All kinds of weird arguments were thrown out.
"Buya has only been established for one year, has insufficient foundation and limited financial strength, but it spends tens of billions of dollars to bet on the mobile phone industry. It is really a model of militarism and too greedy!"
"It's just that instead of working on the Internet, you actually want to make a mobile phone. It's a typical example of not doing your job properly!"
"According to rumors, in order to enter the mobile phone industry, Suiya did not hesitate to borrow money like crazy. The asset-liability ratio has exceeded the red line of 100%, and the capital chain may break at any time."
"Friendly reminder, never buy corporate bonds issued by Sprout, otherwise there may be a thunderstorm in any minute!"
"The latest news is that the real purpose of Bu Ya's so-called free sharing of patented technology is to tie it with official industrial policies to obtain loan support. The real core technology is actually kept in his own pocket."
"The character design of Germinating White Lotus is solid!"
“It is reported that Binhai City intends to set up a creative industrial park in Houhai and provide various policy benefits to enterprises in the park. Land prices in Houhai have been rising recently, one price per day. Before that, Germination had already opened in Houhai at extremely low prices.
We won five pieces of land at a reasonable price, with a profit of more than one billion in the book. You taste it, you taste it carefully!"
“So, Sprout is essentially a real estate developer? (Gotou)”
…
After reading the news, Zhang Shuo frowned slightly. These strange arguments that suddenly appeared were too obvious to be aimed at the sprouts. Someone was definitely promoting them in an organized manner behind the scenes.
With the strong rise of Moya, it really touched the cake of many people. Especially when seeing Moya becoming more and more famous, some people finally couldn't hold it anymore.
Think of this.
Zhang Shuo walked to the window and looked out at the city skyline.
