Why did Yao Jianhui of Baoneng spend 2 billion yuan on Dr. Peng's data center?

The news that Yao Jianhui of Baoneng Department spent 2 billion yuan to buy Dr. Peng's data center has been confirmed.

Yao Jianhui entered the public eye. Previously, Yao Zhenhua's half-brother Yao Jianhui was not well known. Yao Zhenhua, the leader of Baoneng Department, has always been the representative of Baoneng Department.

Yao Jianhui, chairman of Baoneng Holdings, said at the company morning meeting on the last day of 2020 that he would give his shares in other Baoneng companies to his younger brother Yao Zhenhua, and Yao Jianhui left with Baoneng Holdings. There are also media reports that Yao Jianhui said that he has been considering the divestiture of Baoneng Holdings for three years. And three years ago happened to be the beginning of Yao Zhenhua's decision to "build a car".

Therefore, it is considered that the two brothers have serious differences on the future direction of the enterprise, and Baoneng's car-making is an important reason for Yao Jianhui's decision to leave. My brother is keen on building a car, and my brother is optimistic about the big data industry.

Why did Yao Jianhui spend 2 billion on Dr. Peng's data center? The reasons are roughly as follows:

First, the country vigorously develops the big data industry, and the prospects are promising. In the information age, data has become an important factor of production and social wealth, and even a key resource for competition among countries. The country has formulated a big data strategy, determined to break through core technologies, constantly promote the innovation and development of big data technology industry, build a digital economy with data as the key element, and consolidate the foundation of a network power. Vigorously promote the open sharing of government information systems and public data, accelerate the integration of government information platforms, eliminate information islands, promote the opening of data resources to the society, enhance the credibility of the government, guide social development, and serve public enterprises; Take enterprises as the main body, create a relaxed and fair environment, increase the research and development of key technologies of big data, industrial development and personnel training, vigorously promote data collection and mining, closely integrate big data industry with public data services, cultivate a new engine for China's economic development, and better serve China's economic and social development and improvement of people's lives. The prospects are very promising.

Second, data centers play an important role in the big data industry. The data center is to use the existing Internet communication lines and bandwidth resources to establish a standardized computer room environment for telecommunications professionals, and provide all-round services of server hosting, leasing and related value-added services for enterprises, institutions, government agencies and individuals.

Dr. Peng currently operates 15 computer room, with a total area of over 200,000 square meters, and the total number of operating cabinets exceeds 30,000, with first-tier cities accounting for about 70%.

The 13 data centers purchased this time include Jiuxianqiao data center, Yizhuang data center, telecom data center (including 5 data centers), Shenzhen data center, Shanghai data center, Guangzhou data center, Foshan data center, Chengdu data center and Wuhan data center.

Third, many enterprises are eager to take the "new infrastructure" express train. In March, 2020, China held a meeting in The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC), proposing to speed up the construction of new infrastructure such as 5G networks and data centers. "New Infrastructure" has become a new direction of national infrastructure construction and enterprise investment.

Compared with the traditional infrastructure represented by "TieGong Ji" (generally referring to railways, highways and airports), the highlight of the new infrastructure lies in supporting the construction of related infrastructure such as scientific and technological innovation and intelligent manufacturing. Affected by the epidemic, the concept of new infrastructure has been enlarged, and the demand for new generation information technology applications in China has increased rapidly. Many industries and fields need to accelerate digital transformation. New infrastructure has become a new goal pursued by many enterprises.

"New Infrastructure" refers to the construction of new infrastructure focusing on science and technology, mainly including the construction of 5G base stations, UHV, intercity high-speed rail and intercity rail transit, new energy vehicle charging piles, big data centers, artificial intelligence and industrial Internet.

As an important part of new infrastructure, Big Data Center was born to meet the big data needs of 5G, artificial intelligence and industrial Internet. It can be said that the big data center is the foundation of new infrastructure.

Under the background of "new infrastructure", big data centers should not only have new media, good media and fast storage media to store data, but also ensure agile and fast data reading and writing, and data can be used at any time. Secondly, on the basis of data, there should be computing scenarios, and complex computing scenarios should cross the center, cloud and edge to form a highly distributed technical architecture. In addition, it is necessary to establish automatic and intelligent operation and maintenance supported by software-defined technology in the big data center, provide a consistent user management interface, help users realize the rapid migration from data assets to data insights, and quickly apply data insights to business decisions, so as to maximize the value of data assets.

Fourth, Yao Jianhui's involvement in the big data industry is not unprepared. In fact, as early as 20 17, Baoneng Department planned to set foot in the cloud computing data center project. At that time, Baoneng Investment Group, a subsidiary of Baoneng Department, conducted a site selection inspection of data center and unmanned R&D base in Fuping County, Shaanxi Province. According to the plan, the civil construction of the project will be completed in May 2020, and it will enter the stage of electromechanical installation and data center construction, and it is planned to be put into operation on 202 1.

The participation of real estate enterprises in the construction of data centers is a major event in the transformation and upgrading of the real estate industry, and an attempt by enterprises to participate in new infrastructure, which can be regarded as a typical case of the transformation and upgrading of traditional real estate enterprises in the digital economy era.
