Chapter 98 [Prevention before it happens]
During the New Year's Day holiday, Xincheng University is already on vacation, but Xu Jingren's team has no vacation, work!
If you don't go to class, you will spend all your vacation time on the company's side.
On New Year's Day, Quantum Weibo officially launched the API public platform, and launched this new function called "Share to Quantum Weibo" on the first day of the new year of the Ox.
Some careful netizens can see that the "Share to Weibo" button has been added to the encyclopedia input page today.
...
In the afternoon, Quantum beats the headquarters.
"The domain names weibo.com and t.cn have been settled, and now you can directly enter any of the two domain names to jump directly to our Weibo website." In the office, Xu Jingren looked at Fang Hong and smiled.
At this time, a laptop was placed in front of Fang Hong, and he entered the URL casually, and quickly jumped to the main page of Quandong Weibo.
Xu Jingren next to him said again: "In addition, encyclopedias can now be shared on Weibo."
Hearing this, Fang Hong entered an entry casually and entered the Baidu Encyclopedia page. There was a curved arrow symbol in the upper right corner of the page. Move the mouse to this symbol and it would immediately display "Share to Weibo". It is the LOGO icon of Weibo.
Fang Hong nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad."
Xu Jingren immediately said: "One more thing, we noticed that Xincheng Zhengfu has also registered an official account on our website platform, and the important news of Xincheng People's Zhengfu.com specifically confirmed that the account 'Weibo Xincheng' was designated as On behalf of Xincheng Municipal Official Bo, and has released two dynamic messages on the platform."
When talking about this matter, Xu Jingren was also quite excited, because he never thought that Xincheng would open an official account on the Liangdong Weibo platform.
Fang Hong said calmly: "I was behind the operation, and the investor has relevant resources, and it's the result of being a bridge."
Hearing this, Xu Jingren was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but suddenly said after thinking for a moment: "I see, I didn't expect that your girlfriend's house, boss, has such a lot of energy."
Well……
Fang Hong remained silent and did not answer the other party.
Xu Jingren forcibly imagined this matter to the point where he thought it was done through Hexuan's family. At present, they all think that her family has a great background.
Regarding this, Fang Hong could only shrug his shoulders in his heart, but he didn't point out to correct the other party.
Fang Hong quickly skipped this question, and said instead: "The company's next focus is to successfully hold the first micro-fiction contest. The pre-A financing continues to be in place, and the next step is to expand rapidly."
Xu Jingren got up and went to his desk, rummaged through the folders on the desk for a while, took out a document, handed it to Fang Hong and said, "This is the final plan for the event planning."
Fang Hong opened the list, looked at it for a while, nodded and said: "Well, there is no problem in general, the promotion is a little weaker, increase the effort, and increase the budget to 10 million."
Hearing this, Xu Jingren was startled and said, "Spend 10 million budget?"
You know, the total prize pool for this microfiction contest is only 500,000 yuan.
Fang Hong said: "You can't be stingy when you should spend money. Before those social giants and portal giants enter the market, they will still take over our advertising business and use their channels to promote a wave. When they want to do Even if you pay for it, he won’t give you traffic anymore.”
Xu Jingren couldn't help nodding when he heard it: "It makes sense."
Now you can go to Penguin with money to promote it, and you can get traffic on the QQ side. After all, Penguin also has advertising business, including other portal giants.
But after they also want to enter the market and start their own micro-blog projects, they will be competitors, and they will definitely not promote you, and it will not matter how much money they give.
Fang Hong further said: "With the progress of the micro-fiction contest, the company can regularly announce the growth of users in the future. There is no need to hide it. The brighter the growth, the more diligently the data will be released, and the momentum will be even greater. Let netizens know that this is a new fashion trend, everyone is playing Weibo, this is a new trend.”
Xu Jingren nodded: "Understood."
Fang Hong also emphasized: "While the Micro Fiction Contest is advancing, Weibo's mobile client has quickly entered the development sequence. The 3G license has been issued yesterday, and the mobile Internet is the future."
Xu Jingren nodded again.
At this time, Fang Hong thought for a moment and added: "By the way, the technical department must take precautions against possible DDoS attacks on the website, and take precautions in advance to prevent accidents."
DDoS attack is also the so-called traffic attack. The full name is Distributed-Denial-of-Service. .
In layman's terms, it is to use network node resources such as personal PCs, IDC servers, mobile phones, smart devices, printers, cameras, etc. to launch a large number of attack requests on the target, resulting in server congestion and unable to provide normal external services, and can only announce GG.
Unlike other malicious data tampering or hijacking attacks, DDoS is simple and rude, and can directly destroy the target.
Compared with other attack methods, the technical requirements and the cost of launching an attack are very low. It only needs to purchase some server permissions or control a batch of bots, and the response speed of the attack is very fast.
In addition, DDoS is easy to attack and difficult to defend. In order to ensure normal customer needs, service providers need to spend a lot of resources to fight against the attack initiator.
These features make DDoS a very useful sword in the hands of hackers.
Although DDoS can erode bandwidth or resources and force the server to terminate, this is obviously not the real purpose of the attacker. Either the attacker uses this to extort money, or it is a secret business competition, etc.
Driven by many gray interests, many people participated in this industry and improved and upgraded the attack methods, which made DDoS intensify in the Internet industry and became a chronic disease that cannot be overcome in the world.
At this time, Xu Jingren was surprised when he heard it, and said, "Boss, do you mean that someone wants to attack our website?"
Fang Hong said in a deep voice: "It is imperative to guard against others. Shopping malls are like battlefields. The probability of DDoS attacks occurring in the unfair competition of the Internet industry is extremely high. We must take preventive measures in advance, and we cannot rush into things."
Xu Jingren replied: "Understood, I will let Lou Gaoyuan lead the team to set up an additional security team to take care of this matter later."
The general affairs have been arranged, and Fang Hong left Quantum Beat.
...
Three days later, the weekend of January 4th.
Quantum Weibo issued an announcement to launch the first domestic micro-fiction contest, setting up a prize pool of 500,000 yuan, and the first prize will receive a cash prize of 100,000 yuan.
At the same time, 10 million promotion funds were spent, and the 500,000 yuan prize pool set up by the competition was actually included in the promotion budget. The purpose of holding this competition was to promote its own products and attract users.
With the publicity of the event, social networking sites such as Penguin, and portal sites such as Wanghuang and Xinlang are also placing corresponding advertisements.
But the competition is focused on college campuses.
As long as we recruit college students from more than 2,600 colleges and universities across the country, we can bring more than 20 million users to Quandong Weibo, which is also the most active group of users on the Internet.
On the day when the event was announced, a promotional poster with the theme of "Micro Fiction @Big World" first landed on the campuses of various universities.
At the same time, Weibo's simple "chicken leg tactics" have been launched in more than a thousand universities. More and more students register a Weibo account for chicken legs, and then most of them just leave it alone.
It doesn't matter if you are active or not, as long as you register an account, you are successful. The chicken leg tactic is to let everyone take the first step, register an account and then talk.
But with the launch of the first micro-fiction contest, the situation gradually changed, and it resonated wonderfully with the chicken leg tactics.
Many college students who are bent over chicken legs log on to the Weibo platform to register an account and throw it aside, but when they visit the Weibo website for the first time, they are immediately attracted by the most eye-catching activity on the homepage.
"The first micro-fiction contest in China?" A third-year student of a certain university was staring at the computer in a nearby Internet cafe, and the screen displayed the homepage information of Quandong Weibo. The student originally planned to be After registering on Weibo, I dealt with it.
But at the moment, he was also attracted by the event announcement on the homepage of the website. What really attracted him was the content of the announcement "the prize pool of the competition is 500,000 yuan, and the first prize will receive a cash reward of 100,000 yuan."
He was not in a hurry to register an account, but curiously clicked into the event announcement page.
[The first domestic micro-fiction contest is in full swing, this year's theme: micro-fiction @big world]
[Share 256 characters anytime, anywhere, 256 characters can also interpret all kinds of life, in just 256 characters, or create a hazy love, or interpret a deep feeling, or express the joys and sorrows of life, or show wisdom humor...]
[Let’s write micro-fiction on the Weibo platform, tell what you see and the world in your heart, whether it’s humor, horror, science fiction, love, suspense, etc., you can condense it into a micro-fiction within 256 words, share it On Weibo...]
[The first prize is limited to 1 person, and the reward is 100,000 yuan in cash; the second prize is limited to 5 places, and each person is rewarded with 30,000 yuan in cash; the third prize is limited to 10 places, and each person is rewarded with 10,000 yuan in cash; The Excellence Award is limited to 34 places, and each person will be rewarded with an iPhone...]
"Really? Can I get 100,000 yuan for the first prize?" The college student who read the event announcement was quite surprised. He was born in an ordinary rural family, and he was the first in his village to be admitted to a university. My child, otherwise I wouldn't have bent down for a chicken leg.
The bonus of 100,000 yuan is very attractive to him, let alone 100,000 yuan, even 30,000 yuan is a huge amount for Tai.
Next, he learned more about the details of the event and found that everyone can participate.
Anyway, it's okay, even if you don't get the award, you won't lose anything, but what if you win the award? So I decided to register a Weibo account.
