Chapter 3548

Baozhou City was not only building wind farms, but photovoltaic power plants were also constantly being built. Photovoltaic power plants were limited by the terrain of Baozhou City and could not be as large-scale as wind farms because they took up too much space. However, in those mountainous villages, Baozhou City planned to build a photovoltaic power plant in each village to solve their electricity consumption problems.

Although the scale of these individual photovoltaic power plants was not large, they were also a considerable number when added together, and the total power generation was not dispensable. Over time, photovoltaic power generation would also occupy a considerable share in Baozhou's total power generation.

Precisely because of this, photovoltaic power generation enterprises such as Hanhai New Energy were now also booming in production and sales, and they were also constantly expanding their production scale.

And Hanhai Technology also announced several major actions after the New Year. They would invest in building another big data center in the Weiqi Electronic Information Industrial Park in Baozhou, with an initial investment reaching 2 billion yuan. And this big data center would continue to expand in a few years, planning to reach a scale of 100,000 servers, with a total investment exceeding 5 billion yuan.

In addition to this big data center, they would also lay out the whole country, building big data centers at several important nodes in the country to provide services for Hanhai Technology's big data cloud computing. Their ultimate goal was to build big data cloud computing centers all over the country, forming a huge cloud computing network.

This was a magnificent blueprint, marking Hanhai Technology's ambition. In the current era, only Hanhai Technology had such financial resources to build such a big data center. On this level, Hanhai Technology had walked ahead of everyone again, making the whole world look sideways.

At the same time, Hanhai Technology officially announced the acquisition of several companies that had made achievements in artificial intelligence. These companies included foreign and domestic ones, and they were all considered excellent companies in the industry in various fields of artificial intelligence, which had been quite eye-catching before.

Although these companies had made achievements in artificial intelligence, they did not have large capital investment, so they could only be called small companies, and they were also targeted by many large companies. These large companies all wanted to acquire them, and this included Apple.

Apple CEO Jobs, after giving up the research and development of Apple mobile phones, turned his eyes to artificial intelligence. He had excellent vision and believed that artificial intelligence would be a very popular research direction in the future, so he wanted to acquire a few small companies in artificial intelligence to enter this field.

But who knew that just when they were struggling with negotiations and had seen the dawn of successful negotiations, Hanhai Technology intervened again, arriving late and first, and acquired all the companies they had their eyes on at an irresistible high price.

This made Jobs extremely depressed. Was this Hanhai Technology their nemesis? Every time they set their eyes on a project, Hanhai Technology could always block their way in advance, leaving them with nowhere to go.

Apple was just Jobs alone who was depressed. The other shareholders felt it didn't matter. Weren't they just a few small companies? If they didn't acquire them, so be it. Originally, they didn't agree very much with the plan to enter the field of artificial intelligence.

According to Jobs's plan, entering artificial intelligence required huge amounts of funds, and what was the need for them to invest huge amounts of funds into this project that looked very illusory? Would artificial intelligence have any money prospects in the future?

They were still very satisfied with the status quo of Apple. Apple was still an industry giant in personal computers, and the annual profit was a considerable number, which made these shareholders very satisfied. Why did they have to take huge risks to change anything?

Jobs was able to make them agree to enter the field of artificial intelligence because he promised to give up the smart phone project, which made them reluctantly agree. But now that these companies could not be acquired, if they wanted to enter the field of artificial intelligence, they had to start from scratch, everything had to be researched from scratch, and the invested funds had to be much larger.

Therefore, these shareholders saw that the acquisition plan failed and immediately began to oppose entering the field of artificial intelligence again. No matter how much Jobs insisted, it was useless. How could he alone convince so many people?

This made Jobs feel a bit disheartened. He thought, if he had known it would be like this, he might as well have continued to make his movies. Why return to Apple? What meaning did this experience have for his life?

He felt helpless about the short-sightedness of these shareholders, but he was indeed helpless. Sometimes it couldn't be completely blamed on them. Didn't they agree to his plan to develop Apple mobile phones and acquire those artificial intelligence companies at the beginning? It was only because these plans encountered huge resistance that they abandoned these plans.

The culprit was still Hanhai Technology, Jobs thought. Was Hanhai Technology destined to be a stumbling block on his road to success?

Although in the eyes of many people, Jobs was already successful enough, Jobs always had a feeling that he was born in this world and should have achieved greater success, far more than what it was now. But his success was taken away by Hanhai Technology.

However, Jobs was also full of admiration for the helmsman of Hanhai Technology. He was not the kind of person with a small belly. He would admit his failure. Since Hanhai Technology could always get ahead of him, it showed that the helmsman of Hanhai Technology had a longer-term vision and more talent than him, and Hanhai Technology also deserved to succeed.

Jobs studied the rise of Hanhai Technology, and the results of the study made him increasingly admire Hanhai Technology. The rise of Hanhai Technology was only a matter of more than ten years, much shorter than the history of Apple, but every step they took was ahead of the times, making everyone have to follow behind them and eat dust.

What an excellent vision this was! Jobs once thought that his vision was unmatched, but now, he had to admit that Hanhai Technology indeed surpassed them in this point, which made the firm-willed Jobs couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated. It seemed that Hanhai Technology was his nemesis.

Hou Wenchang did not know that there was still a Jobs in this world studying them, and the achievements and brilliance recently achieved by Hanhai Technology should have belonged to Jobs. But even if he knew that Jobs was studying them, Hou Wenchang didn't care. He was firmly walking on the road Su Xinghui pointed out to him.

Hanhai Technology's plan to build a big data center had been carried out, and the civil engineering would start immediately. And the companies they acquired now had their personnel merged into the artificial intelligence division of Hanhai Technology Research Institute, forming several groups. Hanhai Technology invested a large amount of funds and started research on artificial intelligence.

Hanhai Technology could be said to be spending money like water recently, but the money they earned back was far more than the money they spent. Their websites, software, network security, games, online shopping, and other departments were bringing them huge revenue.

And the one with the largest revenue was, of course, their mobile phone and digital product department. Now Hanhai First Generation mobile phone was still hugely popular all over the world. Although several mobile phone manufacturers had launched their own smart phone products, they were still not as good as Hanhai First Generation mobile phone in performance. And Hanhai First Generation mobile phone was a pioneer, so many people had already formed a belief in Hanhai First Generation mobile phone.

Therefore, no matter how Hanhai Technology expanded its production capacity, the Hanhai First Generation mobile phones they produced were sold as soon as they were produced, and there was never any backlog or inventory. Currently, Hanhai First Generation mobile phone's market share in the smart phone market exceeded 30%. How huge a profit could this bring them?

Hou Wenchang was never a miser. He did not want to use these profits to enjoy. He wanted to use these profits to continue research and development, to continue expansion. Even if all these profits were spent, he would not hesitate. He believed in a sentence from Su Xinghui: those technologies, those patents, were his greatest wealth.

Now Hanhai Research Institute could produce new technologies every day, and Hanhai Technology could register new patents in international patent organizations every day. This was where Hanhai Technology's true wealth lay. They were consolidating Hanhai Technology's foundation bit by bit, making Hanhai Technology's strength thicker and thicker, and stronger and stronger.

With these things, Hou Wenchang believed that even if Hanhai Technology lost everything overnight, relying on these things, he could still rise in the short term and become that Hanhai Technology standing at the top of the world's technology enterprises again.
