Chapter 1530 Financial Level Security System
Zhou Buqi left Tokyo and returned home.

I went to Chang'an first, and participated in the completion ceremony of Ziweiyun's cloud data center located in the suburbs of Chang'an. The scene was very lively, and a group of provincial and municipal leaders came.

There is no way, Boss Zhou's reputation is too big now, even though he is very low-key, his popularity in the industry has surpassed that of the older generation of entrepreneurs.

Mainly because he is rich.

The older generation of entrepreneurs all have a background in state-owned enterprises, including Vanke, which are actually private enterprises. But in the 80s, if they wanted to do business in China, private enterprises had to be affiliated with state-owned enterprises, which were equivalent to subsidiaries of state-owned enterprises. This phenomenon is called "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Later, with the new policy, the state allowed private enterprises to exist as independent individuals. Some business owners found someone to find a relationship, lifted their affiliation status, and changed from a subsidiary of a state-owned enterprise to a purely private enterprise. The enterprise is a personal asset.

All the existing enterprises that were established in the 80s and are now private enterprises basically do this.But Wang Shi was honest and timid, so he didn't dare to do this, so that Vanke handed over most of its shares to the state-owned enterprises it was affiliated with, turning it into a state-run private enterprise.

Zhou Buqi should also be thankful that he started his own business in a relatively good time, which allowed him to have huge wealth in China, and wealth is often a reflection of social status.

This cloud data center located in Chang'an is completed in the first phase of the project, mainly to complete the building.The interior can be renovated in winter, and then the server is deployed, and it is expected to be activated in March next year.

The reason why this project has received high attention from local leaders is not because they know much about cloud computing engineering, but because of the development of the local surrounding industry - electricity.

Servers consume a lot of power, and the design specification for the current Phase I project is 1 servers.The power of one server is 500W, 24 hours a day, 1 servers... This is equivalent to the consumption of at least 12 kilowatt-hours of electricity every day after the start-up of the first-phase cloud data center.

If fans, air conditioners and other cooling equipment are added, the daily consumption can reach 15 degrees.

According to the normal industrial electricity consumption standard, each kilowatt-hour of electricity is about 1 yuan, and Ziweixing will pay more than 5000 million yuan for electricity alone every year.

This is just the first phase of the project.

Chang'an is an important town in Northwest China. Ziwei Cloud plans here the standard of a second-level cloud data center, that is, the total scale is 10 servers.The entire Northwest may reach 30 servers in the future.

If there is no good energy-saving plan, Ziweiyun's electricity bill in this area will be as high as more than one billion in ten years.

So be sure to use electricity environmentally friendly.

Not because of environmental protection, but because of saving money.

The Northwest also has such a demand. In recent years, many wind power stations have been built in the Northwest. However, due to storage and transportation problems, as well as the backward economy in the Northwest, too few enterprises, and too little electricity consumption, the Northwest has excess electricity.Many wind power stations can only be shut down, resulting in huge waste.

Ziweiyun is a big consumer of electricity.

According to the leaders of the authorities, if Ziweiyun really builds a cloud data center with a scale of 30 servers in the northwest, then the wind power station invested by the state can restore 70% of its production capacity, thereby driving the entire northwest region energy economy.

Of course Ziweixing likes it.

The electricity price of wind energy is lower. According to the industrial electricity consumption standard in the Northwest, it is 1 yuan per kilowatt-hour during the peak period, and 3 cents per kilowatt-hour during the off-peak period.

If Ziweiyun is connected to wind power, the overall electricity price standard can be reduced to 1 cents.In other words, the first phase of the cloud computing project in Chang'an requires only 8 million yuan in electricity bills per year.

With the technological progress of Ziweiyun's hardware engineering team, the power consumption of servers can be further reduced in the future.For example, take advantage of local wind energy, use architecture to design data center buildings, introduce natural wind to cool servers, and replace internal air conditioners, which can further reduce energy consumption.

It's mid-November now, and the weather in the northwest is not so good. Zhou Buqi didn't want to stay longer, so he returned to the capital on the same day.

I regret going to the capital.

The weather is ten times worse than in the Northwest.

There is no escape this time, there is an important work week to attend, and Ziweixing will hold a celebration party with Ali, mainly for the celebration of technology.

This November 11 Taobao "Singles' Day" was a complete success!
This is the first time that Ziweiyun and Taobao have cooperated in a high-concurrency business. It has achieved unexpected results and is very stable!Very smooth!
More than 1 million Internet users visited Taobao that day, and Ziweiyun accounted for 70% of the traffic.

Ziweiyun did not have any problems. All the problems encountered by users, such as page failure, order failure, and payment failure, were all due to Taobao’s failure to do a good job.

But the flaws do not conceal the merits, this shopping festival is very successful.

Six or seven senior executives from Ali came to the celebration meeting, expressing their hope to further cooperate with Ziweiyun, and the two sides can establish long-term and stable business contacts.

People in Ali admire Ziweiyun's technical level.

Ali's people were also very happy about Boss Zhou's personal participation in the meeting, and came to toast one after another.

Among them was a person Zhou Buqi knew, Alipay's CTO, nicknamed "Miao Renfeng", they had met at Microsoft headquarters before.At that time, Miao Renfeng and Lu Su went to attend an international technical conference, but because of the limited level, they could only attend the conference, not visit it.

For this kind of technical people, when they go to the Microsoft headquarters, how can they not walk around and pay their respects?
Zhou Buqi came forward to help at that time and brought them with him.

At this banquet, Zhou Buqi simply sat next to Miao Renfeng. It seemed that it was not just a formality, but that he really wanted to have a meal with the technicians present.

This is not only a support for the Ziweiyun team, but also a gesture of favor to the Ali people.

Miao Renfeng said with emotion: "Ziweixing's high-concurrency technology is too strong."

Zhou Buqi knew a thing or two, and said with a smile: "It's all forced out. The rush to buy group buying on campus is too strong. If there is no breakthrough in high concurrency, college students will be very unhappy. I still remember when I first started There were a lot of jokes during the group buying on campus. The group buying products were snatched away by college students in the capital, and students from other places couldn’t get anything.”

Miao Renfeng smiled and said: "Yes, I heard a story, I don't know if it's true or not. It said that when you were doing group buying on campus, Tang Binchen developed a plug-in for panic buying, which attracted protests from many college students."

"Really!" Zhou Buqi also found it very interesting when he mentioned the events of the year, "It's not just the students' protests, the leaders of the ministries and committees also came to us, demanding that Xiaonei. Inclusive to college students across the country."

Miao Renfeng said: "Then you recruited Tang Binchen?"

"Correct."

"This is Bole. He made a mistake and caused a very bad reputation on Xiaonei. You don't blame the past and still use it again. This is the heart of an entrepreneur."

"yes……"

Zhou Buqi felt something, and the tide of memory flooded over again.

Liu Wenbo, who started the business in ten schools back then, was also the proud son of heaven.But because he made his own phone card in school and sold it to college students at a low price, which infringed on the interests of related companies, he was arrested and imprisoned.I don't know how much this incident has affected his xinxing. It's a pity that the genius has been defeated.

At this time, Wu Hanqing, Ziweixing's chief security scientist, stood up, and said with a red face that this "Singles' Day", Ziweiyun suffered more than 8600 million hacker attacks, and all of them were attacked by Ziweiyun's defense system without exception. Resisted!

He also said in a high-profile way that Ziweiyun has a financial-level security system, and no one is afraid of it!
Having said that, Miao Renfeng said in a low voice, "Mr. Zhou, the financial business cannot go to the cloud."

"Understood." Zhou Buqi smiled, "Alipay's business is difficult, right?"

Miao Renfeng nodded, "Well, technical difficulties are more of a business problem."

"business?"

"Contact with the bank. The online banking of some banks only supports a daily transfer limit of 1000 yuan. Many users did not transfer to Alipay in advance, so they could only purchase 1000 yuan of goods on Singles' Day."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "It shouldn't be a problem, right? It's just a permission."

Miao Renfeng said: "That's what I understood at the beginning, but after I asked, I realized that this is not the case at all. The external transfer of MYbank is the highest authority, because every transfer of money belongs to the bank's assets. Lost, it seems to have to get the approval of more than a dozen departments."

"I thought it was just a salesman operating it casually."

"Financial business involves real money, and the entire system must be foolproof. This is the case with traditional banks, and so is Alipay. It is impossible to go to the cloud. It is also impossible to give a salesperson or technician such a large authority."

Zhou Buqi jokingly said, "Maybe the technician made a mistake in the operation."

"Impossible." Miao Renfeng categorically denied this statement, "The security of the financial system is institutional, not to mention the mistakes of one or two technicians, even if the entire department makes mistakes, it is impossible to complete the modification. The transfer function involves When it comes to more than a dozen departments, this kind of money exchange is the top priority, and there is no possibility of mistakes."

Zhou Buqi blinked, and asked strangely: "Isn't it? I read Wall Street reports, and there were also reports that some bank depositors in the United States had lost their money."

Miao Renfeng said: "That's a data error in the internal system. You may encounter this kind of problem when the system is updated. It's just that the front-end data changes, and the background data does not change. You can find out when you check it. The transfer is different. After the transfer, the back-end The data has changed. The security standards of the financial system are the same as those of the national defense system. If one or two technicians make mistakes and cause all-round data modification, then the system is too fragile.”

Then, he smiled and said: "No one is perfect, who doesn't make mistakes? If one or two salesmen in the bank make mistakes, the money can be transferred out, and the safety of the bank cannot be guaranteed. Especially It’s MYbank, there are more than a dozen checkpoints, can’t all of the dozen checkpoints be wrong? Then it’s not a mistake, it’s intentional.”

Zhou Buqi raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Forget it, let your old horse deal with the bank affairs, I can't help it, drink!"
