Chapter 518 519 Summit
"Search engine? Isn't that thing available in China?" When Chen Fan heard this word, he felt as if he had seen it there before, but he didn't have a deep impression.

"Domestic, hehe, the domestic one actually doesn't have patented technology at all, it uses foreign technology, and our domestic one is at best an interface.

Now this technology has been developed to the second generation. The earliest search engine is to provide customers with the services they need, but it can only search for web page titles, addresses, etc. In fact, it is very similar to the navigation station, but it is more comprehensive. "Xie Xiaomeng explained.

"Current search engines use web crawlers extensively to extract and classify web pages on the Internet. Users only need to enter keywords to find a lot of related web pages."

"Advanced than the navigation station?" Chen Fan suddenly asked.

"Of course, search engines use crawlers to crawl web pages and sort them out. Users input keywords, and search engines use certain algorithms to roughly guess what users want, and then provide web pages that users may be interested in to the other party, which is convenient for them. It must be much more advanced for a navigation station with only one entrance."

Xie Xiaomeng said with a light smile, when she first came to Chaofan Network Technology Company, she really planned to be a navigation station, but she wanted to do a search engine more, so she gave up in the end, but the search engine is more technical, It requires a wealth of mathematical knowledge to establish a set of algorithms, which is too complicated, so it can't be done.

Of course, she can make suggestions to let the company invest in building a team, but the technology is too complicated, and there seems to be no such team in China that can be absorbed.

Now when Chen Fan asked, Xie Xiaomeng began to instill in Chen Fan the characteristics of the search engine. Chen Fan still had some mathematical knowledge, but he didn't understand what an algorithm was. He just vaguely understood it as a mathematical model, a set of formula.

After listening to Xie Xiaomeng's indoctrination of ideas, Chen Fan probably knew that no one in China has invested in this. Everyone thinks that the navigation station is actually very simple and easy to use. Why spend so much effort on research and development of search engines? The key thing Only providing services does not make money.

"It's a big investment?" Chen Fan asked a topic of concern. He told Zheng Xiaopang earlier that network technology companies spend too much money. Now it seems that Xie Xiaomeng has found another project that burns money.

Chen Fan has already understood that the search engine should be an independent department, and cannot be simply included in a certain department of the website for development.

"The main thing is to recruit people, looking for people who are proficient in mathematics and programming, making crawlers to crawl web pages, and building algorithms. The manual work is expensive, and the price is not low for those who are capable. The company has ready-made equipment and spare servers. There should be no waste in terms of equipment, and the search engine will be used by other departments even if it is not needed.”

Xie Xiaomeng frowned and thought about it before saying.

"Do you want to be in charge of this project? You're just working as a deputy on the site right now."

Chen Fan asked curiously, after listening to Xie Xiaomeng for a long time, he felt that she seemed to want a promotion and a salary increase, and transferred directly from the deputy position to this new department as the person in charge, isn't it a promotion?

"The one-time investment is not big, but the monthly expenses will be huge after the people get back. What's more, it will cost several million per month. I won't talk about how much it costs to poach people. Those who do technology, When you start working, you have to work day and night, salary plus performance and overtime pay.”

Xie Xiaomeng didn't seem to want to take the job very much, and started talking about burning money.

Chen Fan didn't make a decision immediately after hearing Xie Xiaomeng's words, but looked at Zheng Xiaopang, "Fatty, do you think this search engine should be built? If we do this, we will have a chance to show off at the Web Summit, will you announce it or let me show it?"

"This thing doesn't make money, it's a matter of losing money and making money." Zheng Xiaopang was a little tempted and hesitant, but a quarter of the money burned was his money.

"Your wife is in charge of this department, isn't it good to be on her own?" Chen Fan continued.

"Don't talk about it with me, you decide for yourself, I will have a share of the money when it is burned." Xie Xiaomeng quit, you two like to do it or not, it doesn't matter if I come out to talk about it.

In the afternoon, Chen Fan walked around the offices on each floor of Chaofan Building. It was a positive contact with the employees below, letting them know what the boss of the company looks like. Of course, they also wanted to ask the employees how they were. , pretending to be caring.

After walking upstairs and downstairs, and returning to his office, Chen Fan said to Zheng Xiaopang: "The employees in the company are not bad-looking, the men are not very good, and they lost Erlang's position. What is the matter with the female employees?" Recruited."

"I'm afraid that kid Li Yihong has no good intentions, most of them are young and beautiful." Zheng Xiaopang answered cheerfully.

"Have you visited the Imperial Capital? Last time I went there, I saw the same thing. The female employees seem to be okay." Chen Fan said to Zheng Xiaopang, swinging Erlang's legs.

"Okay, don't talk about it, do you want to watch the market at night?" Zheng Xiaopang put away his cynical smile and said.

"Just look at it at home. Don't you have a computer at home? I'll go back later and see if I have downloaded the market software."

Chen Fan thought that rice stocks would start trading again tonight, and neither of them was in the capital today, only He Li and his four traders were left in the trading room.

"Just take a look at it. As long as it doesn't do poorly, I don't plan to care about it. Let's see how they discuss and operate."

After thinking for a while, Chen Fan continued, "By the way, there is one more thing. I didn't mean to clear Qualcomm's position earlier. I looked at the market last Friday, and I felt that there were so few floating chips in the market. It would be difficult for the stock price to rise to 13 yuan." There are no sales orders, do you think someone is secretly buying?"

Talking about the business, Zheng Xiaopang also sat up straight, thought for a while and said thoughtfully: "You remind me, I really remembered that there are only about 13 shares sold at the selling price of 20 yuan, right? It’s not much, it’s kind of weird.”

"Let's take a look first. I'll pay attention to it in the past two days to see if the shipment is going well. If it goes well, it will be a bit weird. We have to be careful that someone is eating the goods. There may be some actions in the future. We can't lose the good situation. .”

Chen Fan nodded and said, Zheng Xiaopang also felt that the face was strange, so maybe it was really strange, and he was not alone.

"Do you want to hold Qualcomm stock for a while longer?" Zheng Xiaopang looked at Chen Fan's expression when he mentioned this matter, and felt that this baby might be changing again.

"According to the current changes in the market, I do intend to give up the shipment, but it's best to wait and see if there are really people still eating the goods." Chen Fan said with a long breath.

While the two were talking, the phone in Chen Fan's pocket rang happily again.

Chen Fan took it out and took a look. It was Lin Qingyu who called. As soon as his brain started to work, he figured out what was going on. He smiled at Zheng Xiaopang, got up and walked to the window to answer the phone.

"Brother Chen, our roles have been finalized."

When the phone was connected, Chen Fan was surprised that the person who spoke was not Lin Qingyu, but Che Xiaoya. It seemed that the two women were together.

"That's good. You should prepare well. I heard from the people below that the project has been in preparation for a while, and the team building work should be completed this week, and we will leave for Hengcheng to start the project at the end of the month at the latest. Time is tight." Chen Van looked out the window and said
When Chen Fan returned to the sofa, Zheng Xiaopang smirked and said, "Does your Xiaomi want to know that Shanghai is coming?"

Chen Fan shook his head, "What are you talking about?"

In the previous phone call, Lin Qingyu really snatched the phone and asked Chen Fan if he wanted them to come to Shanghai for a few days, but Chen Fan still refused.

What Zheng Xiaopang said is very good, there are some things that should be avoided, Che Xiaoya and Lin Qingyu live in the imperial capital, so some things are unavoidable in the imperial capital, other places, forget it.

When he was about to get off work, Li Yihong came to Chen Fan after finishing the work in hand. Chen Fan first learned about the background and some situations of the first Huaguo Internet Summit, and then began to chat about search engines.

Li Yihong is of course in favor of the company's investment in new technology research and development. It's not like she hasn't considered these things before, and she even wants to buy land directly to build a huge data server base if the boss is reliable. Not only does her company use servers, but It can also provide external services.

It’s just that the purchase of a large number of data center servers for this project requires huge financial support, and the return of funds is relatively slow, because the initial investment is too large, and equipment replacement is also very fast. He just feels good about the prospects of this type of project, but it has not yet arrived. He was very optimistic about the bottom, so he thought about it for himself, and this time he brought it up to Chen Fan and Zheng Xiaopang.

But for this project, both Chen Fan and Zheng Xiaopang directly shook their heads. They don't want to go that far for the time being. Although it seems that the development of the Internet company is just in the ascendant, the pace should not be too big, so as not to mess up.

The idea of ​​a data server base is very good, but Chen Fan will definitely not do it now, it will cost too much money.

Search engines can be developed, because some people abroad are already doing it. If you poach people and learn from them, you can create your own things. This is much better than a server center piled up with money.

The establishment of a new department and the formation of a new team will be arranged by Li Yihong, but the department head is determined to be Xie Xiaomeng.

In fact, Li Yihong took good care of Xie Xiaomeng at work when he knew about the relationship between Xie Xiaomeng and Zheng Xiaopang, the vice president of the company. After all, he was one of the proprietresses. Chen Fan decided that Xie Xiaomeng was in charge of this project. He has no opinion.

As the sky gradually dimmed, Chen Fan and the others ate together in the restaurant arranged by Li Yihong with all the middle-level and above cadres of the company. Through Huaguo's dining table culture, Chen Fan got to know these subordinates better.

Because at noon, I already knew from Xie Xiaomeng that the reasons put forward by various departments for asking for money are actually tenable, and they are not just burning his money for fun, so there is nothing to say. I discussed it with Zheng Xiaopang, and allocated 1 million yuan from Chaofan Investment.

I have already burned 1 million yuan, so I don’t care about burning this money again, otherwise the money burned before is really in vain.

If it can snatch the position of the leader of instant messaging from TT, and the website can become one of the mainstream websites in China, then it will be considered a real success. At that time, whether it is financing or finding a way to go public, it should be able to make a lot of money.

After 9 o'clock in the evening, Chen Fan came back home. Although he drank red wine, he still felt a little dizzy at the moment. It is true that the employees under him have all been tested for alcohol, and they probably have a lot of business entertainment. , are quite drinkable.

In Huaguo, those who can handle affairs are the backbone of the company, and those who can speak well and drink are the leaders.

Fortunately, there is Zheng Xiaopang, he has a good capacity for alcohol, and can help Chen Fan to toast wave after wave, but even so, Chen Fan also drank a lot.

Thinking that the rice stock market was open for trading at this moment, Chen Fan went to the study on the second floor after entering the house, turned on the computer and looked at it, it was not bad, there was market software in the computer, and he was soon transferred to the rice stock market.

Today, the Nasdaq opened 4 points higher and opened at 2 points. After a small upward attack failed, it launched a callback. At this moment, the index is already in the red market.

Qualcomm’s stock price opened sharply higher, opening at 13.02 yuan. I don’t know if it’s He Li’s trick or the result of other funds in the market. After the market opened, it made a slight correction and started to rise. Now the stock price is fluctuating around 13.15 yuan. .

After watching for a few minutes, Chen Fan got up and went back to the bedroom to take a shower. He drank some wine and thought about taking a bath to refresh himself.

Chen Fan calculated while taking a bath. According to what he has learned today, the network technology summit this time seems to be of a high standard. The banner is the first network technology conference in Huaguo. Jointly organized by three ministries and commissions, it includes all projects of online information management.

The theme of the meeting is also very interesting. "New technology, new architecture, new network" seems to be to integrate the established domestic network and all Internet companies and service providers, and establish Huaguo's own independent network system, which is no longer just a few telecommunications The company's own network is connected to the root server in the United States. Instead, it creates a public Internet in Huaguo, establishes and improves its own domain name management system, and then connects to the server in the United States to access the global network.

Because the concept of the Internet was first proposed by the Americans, and most of the relevant protocol standards use American technology, the United States of course has the backbone of the network, that is, the root server, which controls all domain name directories on the Internet.

In the past two years, some people have believed that this method is not safe. Once the connection with the US root server is interrupted, domestic domain names may become unusable and the network will be paralyzed.

Therefore, the country also seems to want to use this meeting to discuss the improvement of domestic network construction and build a virtual root server. After the connection between the domestic network and the US network is interrupted, the computers and other terminal devices connected to the network can still be used officially, at least they can be connected in China. server.
