Chapter 866 Hard core technology is the driving force

Even if this is the case.

The Feitian database is not yet mature enough. It is not a small risk and a lot of pressure to go online urgently and undertake such an important task as the gold coin wallet system.

However, there is pressure to be motivated.

People do not know where the limit is unless they force and squeeze it hard.

In the past two years of research and development, Yang Zhenkun has been under less pressure, and it is time for them to feel some pressure.

Just hold on.

Even if the distributed database independently developed by Ziweixing is completed!

After the meeting, Senior Vice President Xu Liangjie and CTO Shen Xiangyang came to Zhou Buqi's office to give a detailed introduction to Ziweixing's future technical direction.

Judging from the current situation, Ziweixing's investment in technology in the past few years is very worthwhile.

Both the gold coin wallet system and the distributed database represent world-class cutting-edge technologies. As long as the two can be effectively combined, it can bring a qualitative leap to Ziweixing's business.

In the past year, Friends.com has launched four social web games including "Parking Space Grab" and "Happy Farm", and QZone has followed them up without exception.

Especially the recent "QQ Farm", which caused a lot of pressure on Friends.com.

This kind of social page game has very low technical content and is easy to imitate.

However, how to imitate the gold coin wallet system?

Even if a miracle happens, they have created a similar system for the first time, but then they will face technical difficulties in big data storage, coordination, synchronization, calling, etc. How to deal with it?

Ziwei Star has a distributed database, which can show its talents in times of crisis. What does Penguin have?

Not to mention Penguin, technology companies all over the world, except Google, are under enormous technical pressure in this regard. Even the size of Taobao shocked Boss Ma into a cold sweat. He searched for technology experts everywhere, hoping to lead Taobao to do big data.

In the case of a surge in traffic, increasing the number of servers and database capacity is only the basis.

More important is the ability to handle big data.

It can't handle big data, even if the capacity is expanded, the response speed will be extremely slow. It takes half an hour or an hour to process a batch of data to respond, and the day lily is cold.

Xu Liangjie said: "Within one or two months, the existing structure of the gold coin wallet system should be able to withstand the increase in traffic. Therefore, during this period of time, the Feitian database should be launched urgently to properly undertake a part of the traffic and grow rapidly in practical applications. Once the traffic surges, Feitian can also be used as a backup to prevent accidents."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "Since it has been decided, let's execute it."

Xu Liangjie breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "The role of the gold coin wallet system is obvious. At the beginning of this month, the daily active users of Youyou.com were around 15-16 million. After the gold coin system was launched, the daily active users of Youyou.com directly That skyrocketed to 25 million. Of those, 20 million were very active users, logging in almost every day.”

"Well, good news."

"Looking back, you can look at the detailed report. I have read it, and it is amazing. Compared with the beginning of the year, the revenue of Youyou.com has doubled. As long as the gold coin system works well, the revenue of Youyou.com next month may It will be four times that of the beginning of the year, exceeding 500 million yuan."

"It's more than 500 million."

"Um?"

Xu Liangjie was a little surprised.

Zhou Buqi laughed and said: "Isn't Liang Rubo working on the revision of Friends.com? It is said to be in internal testing. Under normal circumstances, on the 1st of next month, when Helo goes online, the new version of Friends.com will be launched at the same time. It’s going to be a big effort under the 100 million subsidy plan, and the ambition is not small.”

Xu Liangjie's smile was meaningful, "It seems that like Tang Binchen, he is holding back his energy and wants to prove himself."

This sentence made Shen Xiangyang deeply agree.

Driving Tang Binchen to Japan, removing Liang Rubo's right to operate Helo, these two manipulations... Boss Zhou really controlled people's hearts to death, which greatly aroused the two people's self-motivation.

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, and said sternly: "There are many commercial column articles on the Internet, which believe that the success of Youyou.com depends on the innovation of business models. This is no problem. But as insiders, we must see through the surface. Essentially, the success of Friends.com is ultimately due to technological innovation.”

Both Xu Liangjie and Shen Xiangyang are technical masters, and they agree with this sentence very much.

Zhou Buqi went on to say: "There are many websites that imitate the friend network model, but none of them have done it. One of the key factors is that they lack a personalized recommendation algorithm. The business model is easy to learn, but the hardcore technology is difficult. It’s not easy to learn. From personalized differentiation, to open platform, to website optimization of distributed technology, to the current gold coin wallet system, the success of Friends.com relies on powerful technology to support it.”

Shen Xiangyang praised: "Ziweixing's technical positioning is very accurate. So next, we will further strengthen our exploration in technology. It is not enough to rely on some distributed systems and distributed databases. In the United States, companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, Yahoo, and IBM are all conducting research on Hadoop. We cannot lag behind.”

Hadoop is the rough house of open source big data engineering.

In fact, many technology giants, including Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, Baidu, Ali and other companies, are thinking of building a big data blank house, tailor-made for their own business, and the structure of the blank house is more stable.

But when it is covered, it can't be built anymore, and they all fall into the arms of Hadoop.

Using Hadoop's rough house structure, different companies follow up their own business and optimize, trim, design and hardcover the rough house.

The only exception is Google, which has its own rough room.

Hadoop is actually imitating Google's rough house, and built a rough house with poorer performance.

Shen Xiangyang was a top scientist when he was at Microsoft, and he knew the market better.

Microsoft's self-built rough house project has failed, and it has switched to Hadoop. With Microsoft's strong strength, self-built failed, there is really no need for Ziweixing to take detours.

Just use the Hadoop solution directly.

Baidu is ambitious to build its own rough houses, and the "pyramid" project it has created is generally viewed as bad in the industry.

Although Zhou Buqi doesn't understand technology, he knows how to employ people, and let Xu Liangjie and Shen Xiangyang, two big men with rich experience in Silicon Valley, take charge of Ziweixing's technical direction.

They both agreed that using Hadoop, then put aside distracting thoughts and go on this road.

Zhou Buqi said: "Ziweixing Research Institute will unswervingly go on in hard-core technology, artificial intelligence, big data and cloud computing, these three directions must not fall. Dr. Wang Jian will lead the team to do cloud computing Dean Shen, you need to pay more attention to the other two directions."

"Among domestic mature engineers, talents in these two areas are scarce."

Shen Xiangyang was very helpless.

In the past two years, almost all of the top Internet technology talents in China have been divided up by Baidu and Ziweixing, each of which has robbed 40%. The remaining 20% ​​belong to other Internet companies.

Technologists of this level are the big treasures of various companies, and it is difficult to poach corners.

However, the real hard-core technology of artificial intelligence and big data is not enough for general engineers. Every practitioner must be a genius or quasi-genius.

This leads to only two directions for talent selection: first, go to Silicon Valley to recruit talents and bring back mature and excellent technical experts; second, go to top universities to recruit fresh graduates, carve out rough jade, and train them from scratch.

Shen Xiangyang has basically followed these two paths in Microsoft Research Institute in the past few years.

Through the relationship of Microsoft headquarters, people are poached everywhere in Silicon Valley. After digging, they were assigned to do scientific research in China. Then, let these people take those recent graduates to do projects.

Most of the domestic practitioners in artificial intelligence are brought out by Dean Shen in the past few years. Microsoft Research is also known as the Whampoa Military Academy of the domestic Internet.

Zhou Buqi expressed his full support to him, "What to do, what to do! Dean Shen, you can set up a big plan. Go to Silicon Valley to recruit people with confidence. Technology does not wait for others, develop one day earlier, and come out one day earlier. Achievements. Gold coin wallet system and distributed database are typical examples. Technology can help us play a huge role in business competition.”

Shen Xiangyang said: "The salary gap between China and Silicon Valley is still quite large, and feelings cannot be eaten."

Zhou Buqi nodded, pondered for a while, and said, "Well, old Shen, you and Wang Haiyang and Guo Dan will make a recruitment plan. Cooperate with the city to promote a special talent introduction plan. For those who are willing to return to China for development He promises to solve the capital hukou, buy real estate at a 50-30% discount, and solve the education problems of his children. Ask Guo Dan to consult, and the government may also provide a considerable amount of talent subsidies.”

Shen Xiangyang nodded, "Well, working in the capital is mainly about housing, education, household registration and environmental issues. Solving the three major issues will strengthen the appeal."

Zhou Buqi went on to say: "For those outstanding talents who are unwilling to return to China, we should not give up!"

"Um?"

Shen Xiangyang frowned.

Zhou Buqi said indifferently: "Silicon Valley's giants can come to China to establish various research institutes and engineering institutes to rob domestic technical talents. We can retaliate against each other in the same way! Next year, Ziweixing Research Institute will be in Silicon Valley Establish a branch!"

"ah?"

Shen Xiangyang was a little surprised, and Xu Liangjie was also quite surprised.

Going to the United States to set up a research institute would cost too much!

The investment of opening a research institute in Silicon Valley can make 4-5 branches in China. One is that the wages and benefits are high there, and the other is that the working hours there are short, so it is impossible to use the incentives of wolf culture.

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and said decisively, "That's it!"

Don't miss this opportunity!

Next year will be the once-in-a-lifetime subprime mortgage crisis, which will have a terrible impact on the United States and trigger a wave of unemployment on a large scale. The same is true of tech companies in Silicon Valley.

The stock prices of large companies have collectively slashed, and small companies have closed down one after another. Even Yahoo was overwhelmed and almost sold itself to Microsoft.

Very good!

Ziweixing seizes the opportunity to enter the market in a timely manner, and can recruit a large number of top talents with a lower salary level. Even if it is impossible to join Ziweixing's technical talents at other times, it is possible to join Ziweixing Research Institute during this special time period .

Hard-core technology is the driving force of Internet companies, sowing seeds one day earlier and reaping fruits one day earlier.
