Chapter: 5382
After that, Bill's tone gradually became more relaxed, and he said with a smile: "If God really wants to calculate my merits and demerits, I'm afraid it will take a powerful audit team to calculate clearly."
Having said this, Bill asked curiously: "Mr. Rothschild, you didn't call me today just to tease me, right?"
Howard smiled and said: "Many years ago, people said that if you pick up a hundred dollars, you will lose a thousand dollars. I am not the same. Time is precious, especially for people like us, time is even more precious. ."
As he spoke, Howard's voice became serious and he said, "Bill, there is something I need you to do a small favor for."
Bill said without hesitation: "Just tell me, there is no need to say more about our relationship. I will help anyone I can."
Howard said: "I heard that Microsoft has a data center in Northern Europe, and I want to buy it."
"Buy it?" Bill was startled for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Rothschild, if Microsoft's cloud service is a Boeing 747, then the Nordic data center is one of the four engines of this 747. Airlines It is impossible to remove an engine from an operating aircraft and sell it. Once sold, half of Europe's cloud services will be paralyzed, and it will be difficult for several other data centers to handle such a large demand in a short period of time. , we didn�t leave such a big redundancy in the design.�
"Impossible." Howard said calmly: "When the Boeing 747 first flew more than fifty years ago, I was one of the invited guests. You were only a teenager at that time, so it is impossible for you to know the Boeing 747 better than me, even if A two-engine aircraft can ensure that when one engine fails, the other engine can ensure that the aircraft continues to fly for 180 minutes. For a four-engine aircraft like the Boeing 747, losing one engine will not have any impact at all. Your data Doesn�t the system leave any design redundancy?�
Bill quickly said: "Mr. Rothschild, this is not how we look at it. The current demand for cloud processing is very large, and the demand for data storage on the cloud is also staggering. The redundancy we have left needs to be processed for data." Leave some margin during peak periods. If the data center in Northern Europe is taken out, users in half of Europe will be affected."
Howard paused slightly and said earnestly: "Bill, I have known your mother for a long time. We were very familiar with her when she was still working at IBM. I have watched you grow up to this day. Don't forget, I've given you a lot of help during this process, including when you were in jail, and I was the one who helped you. Now that I, an old man, need your help, it's not appropriate for you to have this problem and that problem at the same time, right?"
Bill was silent for a moment and said helplessly: "Okay, Mr. Rothschild, give me some time and I'll have someone prepare for data migration. After the migration is completed, this data center will be yours."
Howard was satisfied and said with a smile: "Bill, God bless you, so I do too."
Bill said helplessly: "Thank you for your blessing, Mr. Rothschild."
Howard smiled and said: "Come to the Rothschild Manor at seven o'clock in the evening, and I will treat you to a meal."
Bill said without hesitation: "Okay Mr. Rothschild, I will definitely attend the appointment on time."

A few minutes later, in the Rothschild family meeting room.
All members of the Rothschild family have arrived, and the seats on both sides of the more than ten-meter-long conference table are full. Only the exclusive seat of the first patriarch is still empty.
Behind the seats on both sides, there were two circles of temporary small benches, because the heads of all the collateral families were also present.
At this time, the conference room was full of people. The direct members of the Rothschild family at the conference table were chatting happily. Only Steve and his son were a little depressed, while the representatives of the collateral families behind them were all chatting happily. Whispering among each other in low voices, they didn't know what happened to the Rothschild family in the past two days, and they didn't know what the old man's purpose was in calling them all here.
Most of these collateral families have foreign surnames, but some have the surname Rothschild. However, all collateral families with the surname Rothschild are basically brothers or cousins ??of Howard, and those with foreign surnames Most of them were people with foreign surnames who married women from the Rothschild family and then pledged allegiance to Rothschild.
For these collateral families, they had almost no opportunity in the past to come to the Rothschild family estate and attend high-end meetings organized by Howard.
After all, Howard is the patriarch of the family. He usually has almost no direct contact with these collateral families. The collateral families usually interact with some professional managers of the Rothschild family. Even Steve is not one of them. You can see it if you want. JrNovels.com
