Zhou Qingyun's eyes lit up when he heard the figure of 100 million yuan. After all, their city is just a county-level city. Its annual GDP is less than 2 billion yuan. An investment of 100 million yuan is not a small amount.

However, Zhou Qingyun was not dazzled by the high investment. He thought for a while and asked: "Ronaldo, is your cloud service center considered an emerging technology industry?"

"Of course forget it."

“How many jobs can that bring to our city?”

"If the cloud service can be implemented, the total number of staff will be no less than 500. If it cannot be implemented and is only used as a technical reserve, 100 people will be enough."

Generally speaking, the smaller the local economy, the more monotonous the economy. For example, in Luo Fan's hometown, the city's total population is 300,000, and the permanent population is hundreds of thousands. About one-tenth of the population relies on a large private iron and steel factory for food.

If this steel plant collapses, it will be a huge blow to the city's economy.

If Luo Fan's cloud service center could only provide 500 jobs, Zhou Qingyun wouldn't take it seriously, but this company is an emerging technology industry, so that's different.

This type of company is conducive to the expansion of the city's industrial chain.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qingyun said: "Xiao Luo, I do have a few open spaces in good locations here. Please take the time to come to the government affairs hall and I will take you to see them."

"Uncle Zhou, there's no need to take time off. I've been free recently. I can come over when you have time," Luo Fan said.

"Then let's do it at 10 a.m. tomorrow! Come over and I'll take you to see it."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Uncle Zhou."

"No trouble, you are also contributing to your hometown!" After saying this, Zhou Qingyun hung up the phone.

After Zhou Qingyun put down the phone, he immediately called his secretary in and asked her to help find some information about cloud services. He first needed to figure out what this cloud service was.

The secretary was very efficient and came over with a folder in a short while.

Zhou Qingyun opened the folder and browsed it quickly to get a certain understanding of the so-called cloud services.

The so-called cloud service refers to obtaining the required services through the network in an on-demand and easily scalable manner.

The current cloud services mainly refer to two aspects, one is cloud storage and the other is cloud computing.

In a sense, cloud storage is actually a sharing economy.

Zhou Qingyun is no stranger to the term sharing economy. Although the concept of shared bicycles has not yet appeared, buses, public toilets, and various public facilities can be regarded as sharing economies.

The specific storage of cloud storage is that if you want to store files, you must have your own hard drive.

For example, if you have a 500g hard drive, it will be useless after you use it, but you still have to spend the 400g money.

And if you want to save a 600g file, you will definitely not be able to save it because the hard drive is not that big at all.

Even if there is a specialized merchant who buys a server, you and I will take it apart and rent it to you and me. I can't use yours, and you can't use mine.

But the usage of cloud storage is different. It combines multiple storage devices to work together through a system. You store yours and I store mine, but it is likely to exist in the same storage device or server.

.

But I can't see your files, and you can't see my files. In this way, the purpose of storage is achieved and resources are saved.

However, because the Internet had not yet appeared in the early years, in the early days of computers, files were stored locally and could not be shared.

Although the Internet appeared later, the network speed in the past was too slow. Storing files in the cloud and then reading them had to be downloaded at a very slow speed, which was very inefficient.

But now, there is no leading leader in using this technology to gain traction. Currently, many cloud services on the market require individuals to rent a server and establish a cloud service belonging to a small group. The only relatively large public cloud server is Baidu Cloud.

.

Therefore, although cloud storage is obviously efficient and economical, it appeared later than local storage.

The core concept of another cloud service, cloud computing, is to separate a computing job and put part of it on this server and part on another. This is the so-called "distributed computing".

No matter how difficult it is to achieve what cloud computing does, or how complex the conditions are, the principle is that simple.

For example, running a program, providing an application software, or providing a network service are all just calculations on a bunch of secondary data in the computer world, and they can all be realized by cloud computing.

You can even separate software, services, and development environments.

Divide these tasks in different places, you do yours, and I do mine, using the same set of servers and the same set of software. This is cloud computing.

Therefore, when the network speed of cloud services is fast enough, storage and calculation can be done in different places, greatly saving space and time costs.

"To think of such a thing, this kid is so smart.

If this thing can really be made, it will definitely be a huge cake." Zhou Qingyun murmured to himself.

At the same time, after Luo Fan put down the phone, he drove away from home and went to Beicheng District.

Luo Fan first came to the place where he bought the house. When he saw that the house was being built, he turned around and left.

Then Luo Fan came to the land that Luo Hai bought. It has now become a 7-story building. With the first underground floor, the second floor should be 9 floors.

The supermarket that Luo Hai and Cao Hongying want to open is on the first floor below, and the underground parking lot is on the second floor. Luo Fan's movie theater is on the 6th floor, and the 7th floor is not open to the public.

Luo Fan walked straight into the building and took the elevator to the 6th floor. His cinema was currently under renovation. Luo Fan looked around, checked the progress of the project and left.

After coming out of the building, Luo Fan checked the time. It was already 11:30, and he just happened to ask Li Jingyi out for a meal.

Luo Fan called Li Jingyi and asked her to come to the square in Beicheng District, and then drove in.

Half an hour later, Li Jingyi took a taxi. After discussing it, they went to a nearby barbecue restaurant.

Luo Fan and Li Jingyi had just finished ordering their meals when they suddenly heard quarrels coming from outside.

Li Jingyi likes to join in the fun. She jumped up from her chair and ran outside happily.

Luo Fan shook his head helplessly and walked out.

The two women quarreling were both in their 30s. There was a man standing next to the slightly fatter woman with an awkward expression.
