My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!-Chapter 735 - 450: Computing Power Supermarket_2

After delving into the details, I realize it’s not that the product isn’t good enough, it’s that it’s too good...

"Even having a too-good financial system has its drawbacks..."

He couldn’t help but let out a sigh similar to Brother Biao’s.

Support for automatic generation of vouchers, one-click expense claims, intelligent generation of running accounts, and convenient functions like early warning for abnormal funding activities...

With more automation, naturally, there are fewer loopholes.

With less human intervention, naturally, there’s less room for underhanded tactics...

If everything becomes transparent, even going out to sing at a KTV could land a bill on the leader’s desk, then how can we happily play with our friends anymore?

In the world, whenever there’s a need to complicate simple matters, if you think about it, there might be some deeper reasons...

After all this time, the brothers still prefer to mess around with a few privately-owned enterprises in the market known for their extremely high management efficiency; perhaps there’s a reason for that...

A weird thought flashed through Meng Lang’s mind.

This is the best of times, and the worst of times...

"Looking at it this way, we should push even harder for the promotion of ERP..." he murmured, stroking his chin.

All stubborn elements are but mantises blocking the chariot in the face of the power of technology; as long as the fire of "encircling the cities from the rural areas" keeps burning, it will eventually reach the dark corners.

Speaking of the "Tianshu ERP" product, it started as something Meng Lang, who liked to throw responsibilities, developed to better understand his power’s development, thanks to Zero’s development of an in-house business management system.

But history has bestowed upon it a new mission.

If the "Bajie" is the knockout product for 2C (to customers), then "Tianshu" is the knockout product for 2B (to businesses).

According to statistics, by the end of 2017, the number of SMEs in the country had exceeded 30 million, with more than 70 million individual businesses, and it is expected to grow at a rate of 7% to 8% in the future.

They cover various industries including small and micro enterprises, medium-sized enterprises, multinational companies, and state-owned enterprises.

They contribute more than 50% of national taxes, over 60% of GDP, more than 70% of technological innovation, and over 80% of the labor force.

As the operational level of enterprises develops, ERP systems have gained high recognition in the marketplace, and when small and medium-sized enterprises consider building ERP systems, many will first consider cloud ERP.

This is a huge market, where profit is secondary; what’s more important is Meng Lang’s original intention of "accelerating human development" through technology.

Reducing costs and increasing efficiency for enterprises is not the ultimate goal of ERP.

The "Tianshu ERP", which utilizes the Web3.0 interconnection architecture, has evolved to the "ERP+" level.

Its future is to integrate public relations management, business activities, and financial conditions of enterprises, covering every aspect of the business with the integrated information, and further increase the utilization rate of information.

The integration of various industries with ERP will bring even greater opportunities to the service sector of society.

For example, many hospitals in the country that have deployed the "HIS (Hospital Information System)" already integrate hospital information on a large scale, greatly simplifying the process of seeking medical treatment for patients and improving the efficiency of society.

If it is possible to eventually integrate information across industries, "Tianshu ERP" could gradually develop into "SRP" (Society Resource Planning), which has significant and positive implications for accelerating social development and resisting the invasion of the Night Demon Clan.

However... looking at the "CPU usage" displayed by Zero, Meng Lang sighed helplessly.

A product selling too well also has its downside, that is not too big, nor too small...

That is, the expansion of our own cloud computing capacity can hardly keep up with the market expansion rate...

Bajie is still manageable, with an audience of just tens of thousands occupying only a small part of the current computing power, but ERP users are business clients, with hundreds or even thousands of users per client.

This instantly expanded the customer base to the million-level.

Moreover, businesses need to do various report calculations and data analysis, which demand significantly more computing power than a chatbot like "Bajie".

If it weren’t for Zero’s advantage in algorithms, which is still holding up, "Tianshu ERP" would probably have to be taken off the market soon...

"Computing power, oh computing power... where can I find cheap computing power..." Meng Lang frowned and stroked his chin.

Under Gao Yuan’s extreme micro-managing, all the enterprises under her command were virtually developing on borrowed money, wishing to split a penny in two to spend, and the operation chip was a big spender in this regard.

The most advanced chip products from abroad cost tens of thousands of RMB each, haven’t you seen Meng Lang become so destitute that he has to buy second-hand chips just to keep up appearances?

Budgets were made just to be talked about, and spending a huge sum of money at this time would inevitably affect the development pace of other industries.

What’s more, Hua Wei’s light chips were going to be in small-scale mass production soon—why wouldn’t he find using AI chips tailor-made for his own use more attractive?

... and with no backdoors!

This wave of ERP fan-gathering had directly disrupted Meng Lang’s planned pace of computational power expansion for Zero.

But the market expansion of ERP could not be delayed, so what to do?

"Zero, are there any computational power products on the market that are low-priced and yet perform well?" Meng Lang asked.

[Search complete, the optimal product that meets the criteria is ’Bitcoin Miner’!]

"Uh..."

Meng Lang was somewhat speechless.

What’s the deal with my lifelong entanglement with Bitcoin?

However, after looking at the market price report and cost-performance analysis organized by Zero, Meng Lang found it genuinely appealing in the end...

was an extraordinary year for the mining community.

The technology and products of mining machines blossomed, not only was there the development of the more powerful and energy-efficient 7nm miners, but scale and market too were on a constant rise. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Fueled by the hot Bitcoin market, the products of several domestic Bitcoin mining machine manufacturers were in such high demand they could hardly be supplied; several were even preparing to go public in Xiangjiang...

Until last year, "having a mine at home" essentially amounted to "having a mint at home".

It was as if those were not mining machines but actual money printing machines...

However, the good days didn’t last long, as this year’s steep drop in coin price led to a drastic decline in the price of mining machines and mining revenues.

And it finally resulted in an uncontrollable miners’ crisis recently.

With mining fields halting operations and workers groaning in hardship, yesterday’s "money printers" had almost turned into scrap metal, and heaps of them could now be picked up on the market for a few tens of thousands each.

"Hmm! Waste is shameful, all are the crystallizations of human civilization, buying second-hand goods is also saving strategic resources for human civilization, and there is nothing more virtuous!"

Meng Lang, now browsing through second-hand goods again, consoled himself.

However...

These were all mining machines specifically designed for mining, and although it wouldn’t stop Zero from transforming them into computational power for a Cloud Computing Center, it always felt like a bit of a waste in terms of usage and efficiency...

Bitcoin market is not doing well now, but whatever you say, it’s still a global business.

As they say, where there is demand, there is a market...

And Zero’s biggest advantage is its advanced algorithms; when it comes to mining skills level, it’s surely worth two of any competition!

If it operates continuously for 24 hours, it can absolutely obliterate the competition!

Making money is secondary; perhaps this could even be an opportunity to greatly accelerate the expansion of the Cloud Computing Center...

After all, why use your own money to increase computational power when you can use others’ money to do it faster?

emm... starting with opening a "Bitcoin Computational Power Supermarket" to build a global computational power platform?

That seems to have some potential!

As Meng Lang stroked his chin, he couldn’t help but reveal a capitalist’s smile while looking at the notebook in front of him...

If I’m idle anyway, why not mine?
