Chapter 1503: root server 8

Having taken De Beers and Anglo American, it means Xia Yu has achieved half of the action plan he set out at the beginning of the operation, targeting the European mining sector.

Judging from the progress so far, the remaining two targets, the acquisition of BHP in Australia and BHP in the UK, are already in the bag.

The Rothschild family and their allies were unable to resist the Bright Consortium's acquisition of the even larger Anglo American Resources in South Africa.

It is even less likely that they will be able to resist the Bright Consortium's acquisition of BHP Billiton and Anglo American.

What's more, the Sumitomo consortium is also currently launching a constant barrage of attacks on Rio Tinto and Antofagasta, which has really attracted some of the Bright Consortium's attention.

Of course, the most aggressive offensive was launched by the Rockefeller and Morgan families.

After World War II, the Rockefeller and Morgan families devoted almost all their energy to fighting for hegemony within the United States and, in alliance with other families, constantly purged the Rothschild family's power in the United States and even North America.

It wasn't until the late 1950s that the domestic capital structure in the United States gradually stabilised, and the Rockefeller and Morgan families were able to consolidate their strength and attack Europe.

However, although there have been many offensives over the past twenty years, the results have not been as good as they had hoped.

This time, not only did they unite with the domestic Mellon and Polaris consortia, but also the Jiuding and Island consortia, and they were even supported by the forces led by the European-based Bright consortium. It can be said that this was a once-in-a-decade opportunity.

Seizing such an opportunity, they implemented all their plans that had been idle for an unknown period of time, unwilling to be satisfied with just a little, so they all exerted 120% of their strength.

Therefore, even though the Rothschild family was wary of and resentful towards the Jiuding and Guangming consortia, they still focused their main energy on fighting against the Morgan and Rockefeller families.

Because of this, they could only watch as the Guangming and Jiuding consortia continued to seize territory and encroach on their allies.

In Sweden, Xia Yu's plan was also advancing at a furious pace.

The Wallenberg family, faced with Kirin Capital and a host of international hot money taking advantage of the situation, had few means of defence. They were urgently trying to withdraw their capital, and the 16.29% stake they held in National Westminster Bank was like a hot potato, and they were at a loss as to how to proceed.

Every time Wang Qi reported on the increasing profits of Kirin Capital in the Swedish stock and foreign exchange markets, Xia Yu knew that the Wallenberg family, and indeed Sweden, could not hold out for long.

However, the war has been going on for more than 50 days.

According to feedback from all sides, the struggles between families and consortia in European countries have also become very fierce, which has had a serious impact on the economies of various countries. The negative impact has spread to people's livelihoods in various countries, causing growing public discontent.

For this reason, the attitude of governments around the world can be said to change every day.

The European Community is also holding emergency meetings more and more frequently.

One thing is certain:

Even if many local European consortia and families are hoping to take this opportunity to reshuffle the deck and fight for more benefits for themselves, they will definitely not let consortia from outside Europe take too many core interests in Europe.

In particular, Rockefeller and Morgan are their common enemies.

Europe should be a Europe for Europeans!

Therefore,

Xia Yu analysed that in the near future, European countries and even the European Community will definitely disregard face and directly use administrative means to forcibly protect local capital.

This means that

This time, there is not much time left for him to continue his acquisitions.

Fortunately, at this point in time,

Xia Yu's preparations for action against Spain are also about to be completed.

The Guangming Consortium has secretly acquired a very considerable proportion of the equity of the four pillar companies of the Francisco family: Yiw尔德罗拉公司, Spanish Bilbao Biscay Bank, Farrio Group, and Manfu Insurance Company.

However, at this time, there was something that Xia Yu had been worrying about for a long time, something that was extremely important for his future strategic planning.

After more than nine months of hard work, the result had finally come to fruition.

Xiangjiang, Jiuding University.

After Xia Yu's luxury convoy drove onto the campus, it headed towards the School of Computer Science in the northwest corner of the campus.

Jiuding University had been officially enrolling students for six years since 1980.

Xia Yu and the major tycoons have made huge donations to the Jiuding University Foundation every year, coupled with the Hong Kong government's unsparing land policy support.

The development momentum of the young Jiuding University can be described as rapid.

With a strong research culture and top-notch hardware configuration in all aspects, its appeal to top scientific research and teaching talent is self-evident.

The School of Computer Science is precisely the school that Xia Yu has supported the most.

For this reason, Xia Yu has also found a top helmsman for the School of Computer Science.

Chen Shiqing, a Chinese-American born in Nanping, Fujian Province, is a top computer expert.

Although he is only 43 years old this year, according to his original trajectory, in his previous life, he was featured as the cover story in the American magazine Time in 1988, and in 1991, he was elected as an academician of the US National Academy of Engineering and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

He is the top elite among Chinese people in the field of science.

However, last year, he was recruited to Jiuding University to serve as the dean of the School of Computer Science.

Under his leadership, the School of Computer Science at Jiuding University has made great progress in less than a year.

Today, Xia Yu has come to witness the greatest achievement, one that can influence the lifeblood of the Asian Internet industry.

Soon, the motorcade arrived in front of the School of Computer Science building.

A crowd was already waiting in front of the building, and the two people at the forefront were Wang Gengwu, President of Jiuding University, and Chen Shiqing, Dean of the School of Computer Science.

'Chairman, welcome!'

Xia Yu got out of the car and was greeted by a warm welcome. He smiled and nodded to the crowd, saying, 'I've kept you waiting!'

'Let's go, we can talk as we walk.'

'President Chen, please give me a detailed introduction.'

'Sure!' Chen Shiqing is a typical science and engineering thinker, and he is also unambiguous. After answering, he directly began to tell Xia Yu.

'Chairman, the fourth IETF meeting was held in October last year. Considering the growth in the volume of traffic and the number of users on NSFNET, the existing four root servers were insufficient. At that time, it was decided to add four new root domain name servers, namely TERP.UMD.EDU at the University of Maryland, NS.NASA.GOV at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, C.NYSER.NET at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and ASIA.JD.NET at our Xiangjiang Jiuding University...'

'Although this root server of ours is the eighth in the world, it is the only one outside the United States. After a series of tests and trial runs, there are no problems...'

As Chen Shiqing continued to talk, Xia Yu became clearer about the current situation of the root server in his hands.

In fact, he had long been aware of the role and importance of root servers, but hearing it from different people gave rise to new thoughts.

Root servers are actually root domain name servers that manage the master directory of the Internet and are the address book of the entire Internet world. Their most basic and important function is to resolve domain names, that is, to convert the information of alphabetic domain names such as xxx.com, or xxx.cn, xxx.xz, etc., into numerical IP addresses that computers can recognise.

To put it more bluntly, when we go online, we don't directly access the network, but first send a request, and then access the network after the server responds and processes it.

This server also has a hierarchy. Just as when we make an online purchase, we need to leave a detailed address from the province to the county, we first need to go through the root server for resolution, and then down the line through the top-level domain name server (usually the database of the national domain name management agency), the domain name database and the cache server of the Internet service provider.

Simply put, in terms of storage function, it is a global super-giant library, indexed by region, with everything.

In terms of Internet access, it is like an airport, high-speed railway station, train station, subway station and bus station, which can take the searcher to anywhere.

With this root server at Jiuding University, Xia Yu can fully push the Internet process in Huaxia and throughout Southeast Asia, and it will be very convenient.

Many plans for the Internet can be carried out according to his wishes, even if it affects decisions at the national level.

Especially for a country like Huaxia, which is extremely insecure,

If Xia Yu could point to one advantage – even if the main root server in the United States was shut down, the secondary root server at Jiuding University in Xiangjiang could guarantee the security of the Internet in China.

Then the mainland would definitely put most of its pressure on Xia Yu's side.

That would be enough!
