#36 - Section: Cloud Computing

Without a word, Lu Haifeng had acquired an engine production line and a transmission production line. More importantly, he had even managed to invite Director Tang to design engine technology that could be patented.

"President Lu isn't human…"

Some fool of an employee blurted this out, instantly darkening Lu Haifeng's delighted expression.

"President Lu is a god!"

However, the person's next sentence brought a smile back to Lu Haifeng's face, a very smug one at that.

"That's right, President Lu and Director Tang are gods!"

"President Lu is a god!"

"President Lu is a neuro… uh, sorry, sorry, slip of the tongue… President Lu is awesome!!!"

… … … …

After the joking and laughter, a sense of pride arose in the hearts of all Audi employees.

From now on, when they went out to see relatives and friends, they could say with great pride:

"Look, I'm an Audi employee!"

"What, you don't know?"

"That's the awesome company that produced the first domestically made engine!"

"And in the future, who knows, we might even be the overlords of the global automotive industry!"

"And most importantly, our Audi boss is also the boss of Huaxing Technology. You know Huaxing Hongmeng phones? We have the same boss!"

With the engine issue resolved, Lu Haifeng led the design department employees in creating exterior models, interior designs, and, most importantly, the electronic control systems and headlight assembly designs for the Audi A4 that the Audi brand was about to launch.

He entrusted specialized tasks to specialized talents. The design of the headlight assembly was given to Sun Er, while Li Gang was called in to develop the car's infotainment system. Li Gang and Sun Er would jointly develop the electronic control system.

Lu Haifeng, meanwhile, led the people in the design department to confirm the vehicle data and conduct tests. This was an unimaginably large task. The various data tests for the vehicle alone kept the design department extremely busy.

However, Lu Haifeng was not in a hurry. It was almost the end of the year, and he also needed to go back and test the cloud computing.

Lu Haifeng took a car directly to the data center to take a look. The last time he came, it was only a little more than half-finished, but now it was basically completed. Lu Haifeng found them in the laboratory and said, "I'm here to see everyone's results."

Huang Zhonghua, a cloud computing expert recruited by Lu Haifeng, began to demonstrate the functions of cloud computing. He began to introduce, "We currently have four major businesses developed in Area One."

"They are cloud servers, cloud storage, and cloud databases."

"In the future, we can also launch big data, artificial intelligence, and private clouds."

"In terms of cloud servers, we have the fastest responding elastic computing power."

"In terms of storage, we can back up corporate data and ensure that it is not lost."

"In terms of security, we can protect against hundreds of millions of DDoS attacks on the cloud, perfectly protecting user data security."

"And most importantly, our cloud database runs 1000 times faster than other types of databases!"

"Area Two is temporarily not open to the public."

Lu Haifeng looked at Huang Zhonghua in shock. After all, this technology was too shocking. If he remembered correctly, it seemed that Amazon Cloud would not reach this level until five or six years later.

"Old Huang, can this operation be slowed down a bit?" Lu Haifeng asked.

"Ah, why?" Huang Zhonghua asked with a puzzled look.

The others also looked at Lu Haifeng with puzzled expressions, not understanding why it should be slowed down. Isn't the stronger the technology, the better?

Lu Haifeng said, "Leading by half a step is a strong person, leading by one step is a madman."

Lu Haifeng then explained with a smile, "Everyone just saw that our technology is definitely the most advanced in the global field."

"Even 10 or 20 times is a great lead over competitors."

"You have to understand that we are not trying to subvert this industry, but only need to be ahead of our competitors."

"Let us become the leader in this industry. The technology can be upgraded little by little, 10 times, 20 times, 50 times."

"But we must make users feel the change and let them understand that the money is worth it."

"This can also put pressure on competitors. When they reach 10 times, we launch 20 times, and when they reach 20 times, we launch 50 times, just like squeezing toothpaste."

"Besides, when it comes to squeezing toothpaste, Intel is the big brother. We have only learned a little bit of the basics."

"We only need to maintain our lead in Daxia and our global lead."

"And most importantly, we are just a small company now."

"A tree that stands out in the forest will be blown down by the wind. I think everyone understands this principle."

After hearing these words, everyone looked at Lu Haifeng in shock. They were impressed. This business thinking was too amazing and definitely not something that ordinary people could think of.

After hearing these words, Huang Zhonghua quickly said, "President Lu, I understand. I will now study how to negatively optimize it."

"Well, everyone, please work hard," Lu Haifeng encouraged.

Huang Zhonghua suddenly remembered and said, "By the way, President Lu, you should give our cloud computing a name."

Everyone looked at Lu Haifeng with curiosity, all looking forward to a good name.

Lu Haifeng thought for a while and said, "Didn't we register all the mythical beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas? When the time comes, just find a mythical beast name to use."

"Old Huang, can you develop a sub-system based on this cloud system so that we can authorize this sub-system to others and let them develop on top of it?"

"Theoretically, it's possible, but what functions are needed?" Huang Zhonghua asked.

Lu Haifeng shook his head and said, "Nothing is needed. You can understand it as an open-source platform like the Android system."

"Then there should be no problem," Huang Zhonghua replied.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you."

"Don't worry, President Lu, our cloud computing is only missing a real-world test now. Everything else is fine," Huang Zhonghua said.

"Don't worry, I have a test plan. It's just waiting for the opportunity, and I estimate it will be soon."

"What plan?" Li Jun interjected. Li Jun used to be the head of a department at Huaxing Technology and is now learning technology from Huang Zhonghua.

Lu Haifeng said, "Do you know 12307?"

Everyone nodded.

"Then shall we now discuss it with the railway department?"

"Wait."
