Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1497 Backstage Activities

On October 10th, Ning Yameng was born.

a boy.

The Zhou family was shaken now, not to mention that the parents came over, and the grandfather was unwilling to be lonely, scolded Zhou Buqi severely on the phone, and then stubbornly said that he would go to the United States to see his great-grandson.

Depend on!
Patriarchal!
When Ning Yaxian gave birth to a girl, I never saw you so excited.

There was no other way, so Zhou Buqi arranged an emergency flight, found a relationship to get a pass, and brought grandpa over.In order to show his filial piety, Dad had to go back to China to pick him up.

With such an arrangement, Zhou Buqi felt at ease.

Grandpa vented his anger on Dad on the road, beat and scolded him, and he should calm down when he arrived in Los Angeles.It's really not that he wants to give birth to the child in the United States, it's really that Ning Yameng has no name or distinction, and it's not appropriate to have a child in China.

All in all, the Zhou family is happy.

Zhou Buqi was also relieved, and felt a sense of ease in completing the task. He felt that passing on the family line was more difficult than starting a company with a valuation of 100 billion US dollars.

That's right, recently a venture capital firm approached, saying that they were willing to raise funds for Ziweixing International at a valuation of US$100 billion.

This wishful thinking was firmly rejected by Zhou Buqi!

The data performance of Ziweixing International is indeed not as good as domestic.

But the potential is great!

The Japanese market has already been won, and Helo on smartphones has become a flagship product with more than 2600 million users.These two amazing business achievements are only worth 100 billion US dollars?
Go play with eggs!

The main reason is that the capital market is still in a wait-and-see attitude towards the mobile Internet. There are quite a lot of Helo users, but how can they make money?It's a pure money burner.

In addition, smartphones have frequent failures and many problems. Will they really be able to replace feature phones?

Zhou Buqi is not in a hurry, Ziweixing International still has money in its account, and the valuation given by the market is too low, so it will go directly to issue bonds.The top priority is to promote Helo as soon as possible, and try to push it into every smartphone!

On this day, Zhou Buqi flew to Silicon Valley and participated in a secret meeting of Ziwei International.

Very high specification!

Ordinary VPs are not eligible to participate.

The participants were either Zhou Buqi's confidantes, or Lu Qi's confidantes... none of them were white-skinned, and they were all Chinese.

This meeting is to do something shady.

Helo has been launched on Apple phones at the end of January this year, and on Android phones in February, and has been highly praised by the market.Various technology forums, magazines, newspapers, and news media have spontaneously promoted this social product that is very practical and has a good sense of experience.

Taking advantage of the great sales of smartphones and the limited number of apps, Helo seized the bonus period and quickly became the most popular product.

Then, the imitators appeared.

There are at least 30 similar products on the market, many with very similar designs.Although nothing has happened, several start-up companies have already received financing, and they may have something to do next.

As the overlord in the market, Helo wants to consolidate its position!
The plan was proposed by a fellow from Northeast China, Fang Dongbin, who studied at Tsinghua University as an undergraduate. In 02, he went abroad to study for a master's degree at Berkeley, and later joined Yahoo.

Now he is the vice president of product of Ziweixing International.

His suggestion is to combat competitors, Helo can use some technical means to do some things behind the product.

Probably the logic is that the configuration of the mobile phone is relatively low, and you can make a fuss about the storage.

Because of the small memory, the mobile phone cannot hang multiple apps in the background at the same time, causing insufficient memory, which will lead to freezes, or even startup crashes and other failures.

Therefore, the current apps are relatively simple, with relatively few functions, and cannot occupy too much memory resources.

This is where you can play tricks.

For example, there is a social product called Hala on the market, which is very plagiaristic and has just received $100 million in venture financing.

Under normal circumstances, when users use Helo, there should not be too many activities in the background of Helo, so as not to cause the core functions of the product to be unsmooth.

Mobile phone products must first accommodate the performance of the mobile phone, which is the first principle of product design.

However, if the mobile phone user downloads and tries Hala at this time, Helo can secretly do things in the background.For example, constantly search the address book, constantly search the photo gallery, occupy as much mobile phone memory as possible, and seize the computing power of the processor.

At that time, when users use Hala, the response will be very slow, it will freeze or even crash.

When Halo is turned off, Helo's background activities will end.

The mobile phone can be used smoothly again.

How do users know the complicated reasons behind this?

I only know that when using Hala, the phone will freeze, and the experience is very bad. It must be that the Hala product is too rubbish, and then it will be uninstalled in disappointment.

Helo has successfully beaten its competitors.

When Zhou Buqi saw the proposal in this report, he was in a daze. Isn't this a familiar domestic routine?Is this going to be applied to the US Emperor?

Really know how to play!

Simple communication with Lu Qi, he said that it is not difficult technically, but it is morally inappropriate.

Zhou Buqi snorted coldly.

Morality?

Morality has a fart use? !
This is the emperor!
The most important thing now is to let Helo firmly lock in the first place in the market!

Ziweixing International has such a large business presence in overseas markets. If it does not have the core product of Helo, the risk will be too great.

Now, smartphones are just emerging, and the iOS and Android teams are focusing on system maintenance, improvement, and upgrades.

It's not time for regulation yet.

For example, Google has just proposed a general strategy internally, saying that it wants to disassemble the Android system, part of it is open source Android, and part of it is integrated with Google products and services to form Google GMS.

The monitoring and anti-rogue software functions in the Android system mainly come from Google GMS.

still has not now!
Smartphones are now in a state of streaking, and all Apps are in a state of unrestricted... Small companies may lack energy and technology.

Big companies have room to maneuver, why not take advantage of it?

Zhou Buqi immediately made a decision and decided to do this!In any case, before Helo securely grabs this track, we must try our best to eliminate all kinds of external risks!

However, this is, after all, an obscure matter.

In this secret meeting, all the people present were Chinese, not even second-generation Chinese. They were all born and raised in China, and then went abroad to work.

At the beginning of the meeting, the submitter of the proposal, Fang Dongbin, vice president of product, said eloquently: "I don't think there is anything wrong. They copied our product design, and they made mistakes first. We call it self-defense!"

"It is indeed a legitimate defense." Zhou Buqi set the tone, "The question now is if we do this, will Apple and Google find out? If they are discovered, will it cause unnecessary misunderstandings?"

Lu Qi pondered slowly and said: "If you only conduct technical interference on a few specific products, the probability of being discovered is not high..."

Fang Dongbin had already thought about this plan before and after, and immediately said: "This is not technical interference, Helo does not interfere with the normal operation of any other products. Helo is just to provide users with a better experience during a specific period of time. Just added some background activity."

Zhou Buqi was very happy, and asked with a smile: "How do you say this? Why is it to provide a better experience?"

Fang Dongbin said: "It's like constantly scanning the photo library in the background. This is a process of temporarily increasing the cache. Mobile phones are not like computers, and their performance is very poor, so we must rely on cache technology. One of the most important functions of Helo is to send pictures to friends. However, if you temporarily search for pictures from the picture library, the process will be very slow and will freeze. If you scan the photo library many times in advance, cache the photos in advance, and wait for the user to send the pictures again , you can take it directly from the cache, which will be faster and smoother.”

Everyone present knows that the big boss does not understand technology, so he has to explain it in detail.

Zhou Buqi really understood.

Cache technology!

This is the same as opening a web page on a computer.

When opening a website for the first time, the opening speed will be slower because there is no cache of the website in the computer.If it is opened for the second time, the cache file of the website is already in the system, and the website can be opened quickly, and the experience will be better.

But there is also a disadvantage.

If there are too many caches and the memory is full, the computer will run slower.

One of the most popular functions in Micropoint Security Guard is to clear cache garbage.Clear the cache, free up memory space, and the computer will run faster.

From this point of view, what Fang Dongbin said really makes sense!

Helo is not bullying anyone!
Helo is just doing its own thing. In order to provide users with a better experience, it caches some content in advance.

As for whether it will affect the use of other apps after the cache is full, this has nothing to do with Helo.This is the reason for the poor performance and small memory of the mobile phone, and the reason why the mobile phone system cannot clear the cache in time.

This logic worked.

Zhou Buqi was very happy, "Is there any technical problem? Apple and Google are both very strong in technology!"

Lu Qi said confidently: "It's not a big problem. They can't take care of this level for the time being. Whether it's the iOS system or the Android system, there is a lot of room for improvement. They need to deal with more important issues."

Fang Dongbin said: "Yes, so we have to hurry up, taking advantage of their system not paying too much attention to the fields of App behavior supervision and cache processing, we should seize the opportunity! Wait for them to fill in this blank , there is no such good opportunity. It doesn’t take too long. With the current promotion speed of smartphones, Helo can firmly seize the social software track of smartphones in just 10-12 months. You can give up this strategy. At that time, even if Google goes down in person, it may not be able to beat us!"

Sure enough, he is a fellow from the Northeast, the way is really wild!
However, Zhou Buqi liked it very much. With a big wave of his hand, he simply said, "If this is the case, then do it! Dongbin, you are going to do this, and you must keep it highly confidential! The technical team you handle must be our own, Don't leak the news."
