The location selection for this kind of data center is not limited to your province. In fact, other provinces also have relevant support policies.
Moreover, enterprises choose different locations for their data centers. For example, some choose plains, some choose deserts, and some choose to be at the bottom of reservoirs and lakes.
The location selection of a data center generally considers several aspects. One is whether the local geological conditions are stable, no major natural disasters occur, or it is located in an earthquake or geological fault zone.
Secondly, try to be as close to relevant resources as possible, such as close to the backbone network, so as to facilitate network access and data transmission.
Close to the power station for the convenience of obtaining cheaper electricity. Close to the water source for easy access to water for cooling, etc.
As for where the data center should be built, Wu Hao actually has a bit of a headache at the moment. Because data centers for large companies like this have always been the subject of competition from all over the world, he wonders how many local representatives will be waiting to come when this news gets out.
Everyone can feel Wu Hao's sorrow. Indeed, this is a headache, very troublesome, and difficult to solve. Sometimes the choice is not just to choose this company because of the favorable conditions given by others, but also many factors
It is difficult to avoid and difficult to measure, such as favors.
"I think it's better to spread the word about this project in another place first and see which places are interested in this project. Then we will organize relevant technical experts to conduct on-site inspections and make a decision based on these various reasons." Wu Hao said to the crowd.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Zou Xiaodong immediately asked after nodding: "As for the data center in another place, what about the local data center? Have you thought about where to build it?"
"It's definitely not suitable in Anxi City. It seems that it can only be placed in the surrounding areas." Dong Yiming said.
Wu Hao heard this and now said: "What do you think about putting it here?"
"Here?" everyone asked in surprise.
Wu Hao smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's right here. You don't think I've been traveling around and cultivating my sentiments these days, right?"
Hearing Wu Hao's words, everyone looked curious. Zhang Jun said anxiously: "Tell me, why did you choose this place? Are there any benefits?"
Wu Hao nodded and said: "Of course, this is a reservoir and a hydropower station. In terms of installed capacity, this hydropower station is not large. The top end is considered a small and medium-sized hydropower station.
However, the amount of electricity generated every year is also very considerable and can completely support the operation of a data center without any problems.
This satisfies a rigid condition for data center location selection. It is close to the power station, so it is more convenient to obtain electricity, the electricity price is relatively cheap, and the operating cost is low.
Secondly, it is safety. It is crucial that the power station can ensure the safety of our electricity consumption. Even if the power station fails, we can still use the power grid point, so that the two can switch seamlessly to ensure the safety of power supply.
Then, here is a reservoir. If we build the data center under the reservoir dam, we can completely use the water in the reservoir to cool the data center, which can be said to reduce a lot of energy consumption.
Here, it’s not far from the city, less than an hour’s drive, very convenient.”
After hearing Wu Hao's words, everyone nodded, and Zou Xiaodong then asked: "The completion of a data center requires local support.
What is the attitude of the hydropower station and the local government? Without their support, it would be very difficult."
Wu Hao smiled and waved his hand and said: "There is no problem with the power station. This power station itself is a small power station, and it has nothing to do with the entire provincial power system. It is very beneficial to them to be able to cooperate with us in exchange. And cooperation is nearby,
It can be regarded as directly bringing objective benefits to them.
The electricity bill we pay them for each kilowatt-hour of electricity is higher than the grid electricity bill, so why wouldn't they?
As for the local area, I have communicated with the Anxi local government and the county where it belongs. They are very interested in this project. They also proposed that if our data center can be located here, they will definitely give us very generous support.
Policies and efforts to promote the implementation of this project.”
"If that's the case, then I have no problem."
Zou Xiaodong shook his head and said: "However, I am still cautious. After all, a data center is expensive, so it is better to be cautious.
We need to organize relevant technical experts to conduct a comprehensive inspection and demonstration work before we can make a final decision."
"Of course." Wu Hao nodded and said: "This is just an idea of mine. I'll wait for the relevant inspection and evaluation report to come out before making a formal decision on what to do.
After all, such a big project can’t be finalized just by saying a few words here.”
After hearing his words, everyone laughed. Indeed, such a large project must be decided carefully, and it cannot be launched so hastily.
After everyone took a sip of water, Tong Juan immediately said: "Mr. Wu, the purpose of our visit this time is, on the one hand, to visit you. On the other hand, we want to invite you back to take charge.
I know that the previous incident had a great impact on you, and it is definitely necessary to take some more time to recuperate.
However, the situation the company is facing now is quite serious. People in the company are floating, and we urgently need you to come back and take charge. I believe that with you here, everyone's hearts will definitely calm down, so that we can concentrate on dealing with the current crisis.
"
After Tong Juan finished speaking, Zhang Jun also looked at him and said: "I said, just rest for a few days, don't stay here and leave.
There are still a lot of things going on in the company, and I can't handle them without you. Besides, for some of our important partners, my presence is not enough."
Yang Fan, who was silent next to him, also rarely said: "There are new progress in the research and development of several new projects, and you also need to go back in person in this regard."
Zou Xiaodong nodded and said: "Like some of our big projects, the region needs you to go back and take charge of the overall situation."
Faced with everyone's persuasion, Wu Hao smiled and shook his head and said: "I said, I will just go out and rest for a few days, why are you so anxious to urge me to go back?
Okay, let’s just play here for the day. I’ll go back with you tomorrow afternoon, and you have to give me some time to pack my things.”
After hearing his words, everyone smiled.
Zhang Jun even said angrily to him: "It's your uncle, if I don't come to invite you, you won't go back.
Don’t forget, you are the majority shareholder of the company, why do you really want to give up your job?”
"Okay, okay, it's only a few days. She really looks like a wronged little daughter-in-law." Wu Hao laughed and cursed.
