Reboot 2003

Chapter 340 123: King Zhou of Shang (two in one)

Just like what I said to the group of engineers before, what does a real monopoly company look like? In today's era, it is basically an Internet company.

That is Google’s 90% unassailable search engine share, and it is Tencent’s channel strength with QQ and WeChat. People often ask why antitrust laws do not care about these Internet giants. The answer is that they cannot - if you only look at past law enforcement cases, These media channels themselves have neither disrupted prices nor hindered competition. As platforms, they even represent the general trend of technological progress, and the laws of the previous era cannot stop their progress.

Of course, if it's just the media, it seems a little inadequate. After all, laws and rules are just conventions, and since they are conventions, there will always be exceptions, such as when someone is eyeing the money in their hands - —Always exaggerating the darkness of society seems a bit chubby, but the world is indeed not entirely a free market. Besides money, there are indeed some things more useful than it... In short, that is power.

From the company's point of view, the company's power comes from its core competitiveness, and now Chen Qin has it in his hands. If the media still can't get it on the table, the technical strength is that many Internet companies are flocking to it and want to stick to it. something.

Take Tencent's WeChat, for example. Although everyone thinks it is rubbish, and it doesn't seem to have many serious technical bottlenecks, there is really no company on the market that can create a second WeChat. If it fails, no one will be able to do it. What should I do if I know how to make such software?

Another example is Google's search engine - it stands to reason that this thing does not have too many technical barriers, but since the last century, Google's search engine share has been far ahead. Although the user experience is more metaphysical, it does seem to be better than other companies. Quite a bit, Microsoft's Bing has burned so much money and still can't keep up with it... What can we do?

At present, his galaxy software has touched the core of media and technology, and this advantage will definitely become greater and greater in the future.

However, as I thought before, the world is not as beautiful as it seems on the surface. The CEO of Alcatel was accused of phishing law enforcement by Meili Jian's FBI and was directly arrested from Southeast Asia. If nothing goes wrong with the Prism Gate, This year has already started.

In addition, after all, he holds the shares of Galaxy Software through an offshore company. This is strictly a vague gray method, although everyone is using it, and it can still be used in 2023 in history, even if the government To change the rules, there are still many alternative methods, but this has a premise, that is, no one can deliberately come to mess with him. Now this plane has become like this with the butterfly effect. The four trillion plan has changed. In various In a sense, it is still not enough to rely solely on the 'consensus' of international trade to maintain its power.

So... So we need to do cloud computing.

This matter itself is not easy to understand. In fact, Chen Qin already told others yesterday.

However, Lao Chen has never been very interested in these things. Chen Qin said that he recently made an automated cloud computing system with someone. Lao Chen asked him how much money he could earn, and could it be better than your game?

As for Xu Lingling, she would not underestimate the messy gadgets Chen Qin tinkered with.

But when I told her, all I got were answers like "You have to work harder." "Thank you for your hard work!" Although this was good, it was still not very exciting.

So I finally wanted to chat with someone, so I called Ayue. Of course, A Yue has only been exposed to these things for a little over a year, and she is still a junior high school student, and she cannot understand things that are too detailed.

But what was in front of her was just a ready-made interface - a few days ago, this interface was just a window for entering DOS commands. Recently, engineers from SUN Company helped to build a simple open source manager like K8S, plus their own The company has been engaged in automated operation and maintenance, and the software itself has automated backend UI.

Now these messy results are combined together and displayed on the interface. The most intuitive and eye-catching thing is this big red button.

"Click and try."

If there is a red button, people will want to press it, but A Yue is not an ordinary junior high school student after all, and she understood some of the things just now.

"But won't the server restart if you press the main button?"

"Don't worry, there is a backup."

"No, I know there is a backup, but why are you pressing it now?"

"It's fun, come and try it."

Chen Qin simply pulled her over and put her little hand on the mouse: "It will be okay. If others ask, they won't know that you pressed it. They even know that this button exists, so feel free to press it."

"But I don't think this is fun..."

As A Yue said this, Chen Qin pressed his hand and clicked on the red button, which read 'Order has been issued' next to it.

Then there was no response... Ah Yue withdrew her hand: "That's it?"

"Yes, that's it."

Nothing seems to have changed, there is no response on the interface, and the nuclear bomb has not been launched. Chen Qin said and closed the interface. After that, the data on the homepage seemed to be motionless, but he didn't know what it meant.

But then I opened the browser, entered Baidu, and entered.

But the browser's online favorites showed that the synchronization failed. I clicked on the login account of the input method again, but failed to log in.

Then she entered Waibo.com, Dianping, and even Taobao without getting in. A Yue said depressedly: "Let me just say it! Now the website is paralyzed, what should I do?"

"It's okay." Chen Qin said, "The server will be restarted. The computer room is under operation and maintenance. When facing such an emergency, the instance will be restarted according to the procedures."

Ah Yue said: "But if the server is inexplicably disconnected for so long, won't anyone cause trouble?"

"No." Chen Qin said, "Because the property rights of these things no longer belong to the company. It doesn't matter how we restart our own software. So what do you think? Is it fun?"

"Isn't there still Taobao..."

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot about it, but Taobao seems not to use our service recently. It must have come to its senses. They are all leaving. Of course, there is no need to worry about whether their website is functioning normally. It’s working.”

"Okay, but even this is not fun." A Yue shook her head, but then raised her eyes and glanced at Chen Qin, "I think it's better if we don't move around."

"Okay, okay, let's stop messing around and let's take a look at the database." Chen Qin opened another interface, "By the way, what is your galaxy account?"

"what's wrong?"

"Just take a look and demonstrate it to you. By the way, you don't have anything bad in your collection, right?"

"No, it doesn't matter..."

Anyway, Ah Yue leaned over and entered another email address. Chen Qin remembered it at a glance. It was the one she had given advice to Mo You before.

Of course, this is not important. Anyway, after entering her account name, the database quickly returned a lot of things, and Chen Qin explained them to her one by one:

"The registration date is March 2006, 3. The earliest registration entrance is Kuaikan Blog. Currently, 16 services have been opened..."

“The most active time is between 18:20 and 9: every afternoon, and it is also bound to external accounts.”

"There are 62 favorites in the browser. The one I just added yesterday is Lady Gaga's new song that was forwarded on Getai.com. Are you still listening to the song?..."

"In the input method, the most frequently used Chinese word is 'big fight', followed by 'skill'..."

Counting them one by one, although A Yue was probably a little mentally prepared, and she had agreed with Chen Qin to read it before, she was still a little frightened when she saw these statistics: "For all the users who have registered with you, you can Do you want to watch it casually?"

"Of course not. After all, I don't have that much time, and I am a person with a bottom line." Chen Qin said plausibly, "But I do have this power, and it is called big data, which is also the only way for future technological development. It is also the obligation of technology companies to use it rationally."

After saying that the database was checked, I went back and saw that the system had been restarted.

Taobao and Dianping are still not accessible, but the input method and browser's online favorites can already be accessed.

At this time, Ah Yue was probably in a complicated mood, and reminded Chen Qin: "Don't mess with these things anymore. The big data you mentioned needs to be used, but it still doesn't feel good for us to look at it like this."

"I know, I know." Chen Qin said, closing the database panel and opening a software backend, "Why don't we take a look at this? What do you think it is?"

This is also a software with a simple and complicated interface. A Yue asked: "What is this?"

"In short, it is our own software backend. Recently, the company has been debating whether to create a small pop-up window for the input method and browser. Although it has not popped up yet, the function has already been released."

He said and opened a sub-interface: "If you enter something here, it will pop up on the client. Let's give it a try."

Ah Yue felt a little uncomfortable when she heard it, and quickly shook her head: "Then does this mean that the entered content will be bounced to the computers of users across the country? No, no, I don't have to."

"You don't have to worry about this." Chen Qin said, "This function is still in the internal beta version, and ordinary users cannot access it."

He said and showed her the version number of the input method: "Well, this version is still a beta version. It's unclear whether this function can be used in the future. After all, we have a big ecosystem. In the future, ads will mainly be displayed on the new tab page of the browser. , but this function will be integrated into the console, and we can do whatever we want." "Okay, are you sure you won't send it elsewhere?"

"Well, at most, the testers can see it."

After confirming again and again, Ayue typed in the dialog box: "Hey, hello."

Sure enough, a few seconds later, a small window popped up in the lower right corner of the screen. The picture box inside was empty and there were only a few lines of text.

Hehe, hello.

When Ah Yue saw the pop-up window, she straightened up in silence. Chen Qin asked with a smile, "How about it? It's fun."

"..."

A Yue didn't know what to say for a while.

"I always feel..."

Before he finished speaking, news came from Xinghe.

When Chen Qin opened the interface, someone asked him: "Mr. Chen, what's going on with the server? I just had a meeting on the Bund, and the company suddenly called and said there was an emergency."

A Yue became angry and pinched Chen Qin's shoulders with her hands.

Seeing him, he still pretended to reply: "I don't know, maybe there was a sudden power outage in the computer room or something."

Ah Yue was so angry that she shook his shoulders vigorously, but Chen Qin was now bigger, so Ah Yue was stunned and did not shake.

Then the matter was not over yet - then someone else came to see him, and several new messages came over. Chen Qin said in surprise: "Oh, something bad happened. The pop-up message we sent to the input method pop-up window was wrong.

A Yue was even more surprised: "Didn't you say that only the beta version can be received?"

"It seems that the operation and maintenance that just restarted the instance opened another port..."

As he said that, he opened the music player, and the music player also popped up a message 'Hey, hello. '

Even after Taobao, which had not started up just now, got up, a pop-up window appeared below: 'Hey, hello. '

Of course, Taobao's pop-up windows are not pop-up windows within the website, but browser pop-ups. It just happens that the pop-up windows appear together when Taobao can be logged in, which looks quite shocking.

Ah Yue was already a little panicked at this time - of course, she was not worried that this matter would be blamed on her. After all, Chen Qin, as the instigator, seemed quite happy. Although the pop-up window had popped up, it was not there now. There was no room for cancellation, but he continued to browse one software after another. When he saw a pop-up window, he would click on it to see if there was a hyperlink. He seemed to enjoy it...

But this matter shouldn't be that simple. Ah Yue has already realized it, and this matter came to her door very quickly——

A call came to A Yue's mobile phone. It was from an acquaintance: "A Yue, I am your Aunt Lu."

"Good morning, Aunt Lu..."

"Something happened just now. Do you know what happened with Galaxy Software?"

"Ah? What do you know?"

"Their server suddenly went down. Your uncle Ma was called over by people from the company early in the morning. Now he is looking for people on the other side of the galaxy, but they don't know what happened..."

"I, I don't know."

"I mean, can you go ask Xiao Chen or your Uncle Li about the situation?..."

After the phone call, Ah Yue felt even more guilty. She was so angry that she pinched the soft flesh on Chen Qin's arm: "It's all your fault..."

"Ouch."

Chen Qin screamed in pain, but he seemed really happy: "Someone has already fixed the bug, but this is quite fun. I just have a chance, do you want to do it again?"

"I don't want it."

Chen Qin didn't force her this time. He pushed the keyboard and said, "Okay, that's it. I asked you to come here today. This is what I want to see."

"Okay, I understand." A Yue said, "What did I think it was."

Chen Qin asked: "How do you feel?"

"It feels..." Ah Yue thought for a while and replied, "It's scary."

"Hahahahaha..." Chen Qin laughed in his bedroom, "Yes, I feel the same way, but it's not scary when I think that I still have this power in my own hands."

Yes, if this is the answer, I would probably not be able to understand it if I asked Lao Chen and Xu Lingling, but the so-called power must be feared to be the real power.

If it were childhood sweethearts and family members, they probably wouldn't be able to understand it, but only A Yue, who lives in the relationship of 'ecology and platform', seems to be able to understand this difference in power.

A Yue asked: "So it belongs to you?"

"Absolutely," Chen Qin added calmly, "Of course it's not just me. I told you before, I didn't like those pornographic pictures."

Chen Qin spoke seriously, and Ah Yue folded her hands helplessly: "Then you said before that with this, you won't have to be as busy as you were some time ago. What does this have to do with it?"

"With machines, people are no longer necessary. In the future, people who are disobedient in the company can open the door at will. That's what it means." Chen Qin crossed his legs, "Of course I won't do that, but now I can do more Hire some capable people to participate in management and development, so that I don’t have to be so busy. The principle is quite complicated, but the conclusion is probably this. Do you think it is of great significance?"

"All right……"

Ah Yue finally understood what he was struggling with. It felt like something was still wrong, but everything seemed to be connected.

"Let's go down and have a good time!" Chen Qin said as he got up from the chair. He didn't care about the mess of the company and went to put on his coat as soon as he opened the door. A Yue also remembered. He said he wanted to relax before. Did he mean this?

Of course she understood what he was thinking. Ah Yue followed him to put on her hat. Grandma asked: "Are you two going out? What were you laughing at just now? You were so happy..."

"Hey, I'm playing games."

Chen Qin was perfunctory, and grandma gave Ah Yue a scarf, and Ah Yue put it on obediently.

When he went downstairs, Chen Qin was still not satisfied and asked her again: "What, is this great? As long as a junior high school student has permission, he can mess with the products of a large company with thousands of people. You said cloud computing is awesome." Not awesome?"

At this time A Yue hesitated and said: "It's very powerful, but I just feel..."

Chen Qin was in a good mood and said: "It's quite strange, right? That's right. If it wasn't strange, I wouldn't have to worry about this thing for a year."

"No, it just feels..." Ah Yue said, "It feels the same as the one in the history class some time ago."

"What history?"

After exiting the corridor, the sunny courtyard of the printing factory was right in front of them. Chen Qin stopped in front and looked back at her. A Yue held up her scarf and explained: "It's the story of King Zhou of Shang... I know this is very powerful, but if you deliberately mess with it like this and make it look like that fool, aren't you afraid that they will ignore you in the future..."
