Chapter 148: A Small Achievement

Toutiao has just been online for a week, not to mention a few dollars in revenue, but the money that Toutiao has given out to stimulate and encourage those self-media accounts, plus the initial research and development costs, and the deployment of five data centers across the United States. Apparently, Yang Cheng has spent more than 22 million US dollars for this, the most expensive of which is the data center.

Everyone knows what will be the most profitable business in the future: one is cloud computing, the other is big data, and the third is business intelligence derived from the combination of the former two.

Leaving aside this vocabulary similar to AI, which is artificial intelligence, some people often confuse cloud computing with big data. In fact, it is not the case. It can be summarized in one sentence: cloud computing is the virtualization of hardware resources, providing global users with computing power and storage services through the Internet. , providing a hardware foundation for Internet information processing;

Big data is the efficient processing of massive data, using increasingly mature cloud computing technology to obtain valuable information from the vast ocean of Internet information for information induction, retrieval, and integration, providing a software foundation for Internet information processing.

To explain it vividly, cloud computing is equivalent to our computers and operating systems. It virtualizes a large amount of hardware resources before distributing and using them. The world's current leader in this field should be regarded as Amazon. They can provide commercialization for cloud computing. If Yang Cheng wants to achieve straight-line overtaking in the field of cloud computing, it will be possible only when Amazon runs out of gas and cannot run.

And big data is equivalent to a "database" with massive data. It uses computer clusters to process large quantities of data. Its technical focus is on how to distribute data to different computers for storage and processing. The current big data processing has also been It is developing towards a direction similar to the traditional database experience. In this field, Internet giants such as Google, Facebook, and Twitter are the leaders and outstanding players, and this is also the corner overtaking route chosen by Yang Cheng for Toutiao.

80% of the current expenditure of 22 million US dollars is used to build data centers, and this number will rise in a curve with the growth of Toutiao users. If it is not for timely financing, he will not be able to burn it even if he sells it on his own.

Let’s not go so far, Huitiao, as of today, Toutiao has more than 4,500 self-media account registrations. Although most of them are registered by editors under the forum company, people with a keen business sense slowly discover and pay attention to Toutiao. This new money-making platform, and put it into action, is willing to be the first person to eat crabs.

But the news content incubated by this number is far from satisfying 1 million users, or even 5 million or 10 million users a month later. This is why Yang Cheng urgently needs content sources. The New York Times and Time Magazine are two Biggest jigsaw puzzle ever.

In the next few days, New Era Media and Hearst Group jointly searched for editors who were laid off by the New York Times in the market, and gave them "weapons" and "platforms" as soon as they entered the job, and offered them to their old employer, the New York Times. fire.

The number of newspapers and media controlled by Forum Corporation and Hearst Group can cover almost the whole of the United States. When ordinary people wake up in the morning, they suddenly find that the wind direction of the newspaper has changed, and it is full of articles criticizing the New York Times. Even the New York Times Rumors that the former editor delayed the publication of the newspaper because of recruiting chickens were also revealed as solid news.

Ordinary people don't care about the reason, they watched it very lively, but interested people in the industry smelled a smell of gunpowder, and before they figured it out, they suddenly found that the media controlled and influenced by the Elephant Party joined in the criticism In the army of the New York Times.

Arthur seems to have returned to the days of World War II when there was no sky and the sky was full of artillery fire. When he looked up, it was full of bombs falling from the sky with bombers from the enemy. When he looked down and looked around, there was no one around him. Where are the good comrades? What about the good allies?

The New York Times has always described itself as a pioneer of freedom,

But freedom also means disunity, not to mention other newspapers and media, the future wife of the zipper president can be betrayed by her pig teammate at a critical moment in the election campaign, and cause the email incident. What are these "liberals" Can't do it.

. . .

The first day of September.

In the early morning, the sparse sunlight fell. After the sweltering heat of August, the Big Apple City in September felt a bit cooler. Yang Cheng, who had just returned from morning exercise, took off her sweater, and the sweat on her body was taken away by the breeze. Shivering, he looked at the beautiful woman who was still sleeping soundly in the bedroom, smiled, walked into the bathroom and took a hot shower.

Ten minutes later, the upper body of Chiguo was covered, the lower body was wrapped in a bath towel, and Yang Cheng, who was steaming from his head, wiped his wet hair, walked out, walked around the big bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked down at Susu's bright red face. With a pretty face, he kissed it gently with his big mouth.

Sleeping Susu felt her cheeks warm up, her curled eyelashes trembled, she slowly opened her sleepy eyes, took a few seconds to recognize the man in front of her, she quickly slipped into the bed coquettishly, yelling Said, "Bad guy!"

Last night, Yang Cheng drank two more glasses of red wine and took Susu back to the private room of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel to celebrate the phased victory over the New York Times. In the end, she accidentally played too big and forced Susu to unlock it. Many new postures, if the white rabbit hadn't resisted to the death in the end, I am afraid that the third cave in the woman's body that has never been inhabited will be developed.

Yang Cheng lifted the quilt with apology, Susu opened her big watery eyes, and looked at him aggrievedly with her mouth pouted, making him feel that he had committed a heinous crime, touched his greasy face, and said softly, "Sorry, I promise you I won't force you to do things you don't like in the future, okay?"

Susu blinked her eyes, and said in a lazy voice, "Really?"

"It can't be true anymore!" Yang Cheng stretched out three fingers and swore.

"Okay, then I forgive you." Su Su thought cutely for a few seconds, then nodded very 'seriously'.

Yang Cheng nodded Susu's nose lovingly, "Are you resting here? I'm going out to do some errands."

Susu sat up, using the quilt to block the alluring scenery, "I'll go back to the company, there's still work to be done, go and do your work, I'll drive myself."

The car that Yang Cheng booked for Su Su in LA has arrived. Su Su, who refused to accept it at the beginning, under the attack of Yang Cheng's domineering boat, begged her to take it. She rarely drives after Andrew's careful teaching, and now It also drove well, at least dared to go on the road alone.

After hesitating for a while, seeing the girl's unwavering gaze, he sighed, "Well, actually, as my assistant, you don't have to go to work on time."

"No, whether it's public or private, my mother told me that women should be independent." Susu clenched her fist and shook it in front of Yang Cheng, as if it was a demonstration?

Although I don't understand how a day off has something to do with independence, and it's not that she is not told to stop working, but the well-behaved Susu has always been Yang Cheng's favorite, and she was almost turned into a bud by this action. The impulse of the early court, even if Susu asked for the stars in the sky at this time, Yang Cheng would probably find a way to contact Elon Musk to see if he could borrow his manned spacecraft.

Since ancient times, there are many troubles for beauties, and heroes are sad for beauties. The ancients did not deceive me.
