Need for little hackers

Chapter 196 Another Year ([-]) Vientiane Update
When Qina returned to Ningnan, he began to devote himself to work. First of all, the load of Life Online continued to increase, and the occupied servers began to exceed 24. This is just a small finger of Taozhen.com, but for Life Online, The growth is too fast, and the company is completely unprepared. It is only thanks to Peter, this non-human, artificial intelligence, that he can maintain the operation of all servers [-] hours a day.

Asakawa’s data center cannot be deployed until at least May. However, with the violent fluctuation of Taozhen’s network, a large number of users cannot use it normally, and they are forced to abandon Taozhen and switch to e-commerce companies such as Lifeline and JD. Platform, during the short Spring Festival holiday, this change is extremely significant.This naturally put a huge pressure on the service platform of Life Online. Fortunately, everything is under Peter's control. He communicated with Qi Na repeatedly, except for some measures such as optimizing settings, increasing server memory, using SSD hard drives, etc. In addition, a large number of server virtualization technologies are used to virtualize some servers with low loads into two servers corresponding to different services, digging deep into the existing performance potential, and trying to support the huge demand.

However, there are always some e-commerce companies that miss this opportunity due to lack of response.

More industry commentators are bearish on this small change, thinking that the giants also have a nap, and there is no e-commerce company in China that can pose a real threat to Taozhen.

But what everyone can't understand is that for half a month, Taozhen.com's network problems have not been resolved, and it looks like it is being slaughtered.

And CEO Zheng Xiumin poured all his experience into it. During the seven-day holiday, he only rested on New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year. He kept an eye on some work plans before the holiday, and even led Wu Jun and other management staff to act as a temporary customer service hotline to help users.

And their negotiation with Taozhen failed, so Taozhen naturally deducted more than 4 million funds from all the owners of the double store and delayed it with various excuses. During the time Na was arrested, she borrowed a total of [-] million cash from Zhenyun Real Estate, Sanyang Group, and banks to pay those merchants.

Kong Zhen said that she was funny, anyway, it was Lisa who agreed to borrow the money, and the skin of Life Online was still very attractive, so he didn't have to worry about not coming back after borrowing the money.

[-] million, this is a huge number. When signing the loan agreement, Zheng Xiumin even trembled a little, but Zheng Xiumin is not stupid, and her subordinates Wu Jun, Dai Xiaolan, Doris and others are not stupid, facing this The situation, they understand, is the only right choice for the future.

At the same time, Life Online reached an agreement with all the merchants whose funds were deducted by Taozhen for their double-store operations. After checking the amount of the money temporarily withheld by Taozhen, Life Online will advance the payment to the merchants. Of course, the money is only temporary. For the loan to them, Life Online will help them to file a lawsuit with Taozhen.com to get back the funds, and Life Online will bear the litigation fees.

Once the withheld funds are returned, the merchants can return the money at one time, or they can choose to return it in installments without charging any interest.

If the funds withheld by Taozhen do not come back, merchants do not have to return the money to Life Online.

This favorable condition made those merchants dumbfounded. There is such a good thing in the world.The only harsh condition is that the store they live online must be open during the litigation period. However, it is specifically mentioned that if there is a real difficulty, the store can be closed through an application. If the business expands, go to another e-commerce platform to open a store. As long as there is communication, also can.

All liability obligations remain unaffected.

Lifeline treats its own merchants with generosity, magnanimity and heart-to-heart. In this incident, it did not lose word of mouth, but increased word of mouth. Especially, it helped the weak with the attitude of the weak and shared the same hatred with the enemy, which made most merchants feel empathy. There is a sense of belonging.

Of course, the media has received various news, but what they know are the obvious actions of both parties. Immediately, a reporter wrote a report: "The e-commerce world is surging, and the lawsuit battle is imminent!"

In the past few days, the media has repeatedly promoted this invisible Internet war.

The exposure rate of Life Online has become increasingly astonishing, and word-of-mouth has exploded. However, Taozhen.com, which is often inaccessible and abnormally used by the other party, has been cast aside by netizens.

But the vast majority of people don’t think that Life Online will take much advantage in this war. The standards of the entire e-commerce industry are set by Taozhen, which occupies nearly [-]% of the market share. The small Life Online, and Taozhen What is the capital of Jane's confrontation?
With more than 4 million cash, it is better to do more promotion and operation than to waste money.

However, in this noisy and troubled world, there are always some people with unique insight, and their analysis shows that Taozhen is going through a huge crisis.

Taozhen’s operating expenses have risen, and the hidden costs under various free services have already made many merchants miserable, and the crackdown on double-store operations this time has made most merchants even more disappointed.

However, Lifeline stepped forward. Apart from showing loyalty, it was also practical and courageous. Apart from anything else, it paid a huge sum of money in advance unconditionally.

People’s hearts are amazing, everyone understands one thing, especially Taozhen’s sellers, through this incident, they taught them a fact: life online has brought a threat to Taozhen.com, so Taozhen.com tore off its mask, Suppress Life Online without any scruples; Although Life Online is weak, it has the confidence to spend more than 4 million cash in a week, which is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary businesses; it also has loyalty and will never abandon its little brothers.

So if they want to leave Taozhen, the vast growth space of Life Online is their inevitable choice.

For a while, no one discussed JD vs Taozhen, but Life Online vs Taozhen.It's a wonderful transformation.

A Spring Festival holiday has given birth to many possibilities, but it still takes hard work to make them a reality.

And Zheng Xiumin is undoubtedly the hardest.

Of course, Qi Na is not inferior to her either.

During the holidays, apart from meeting with people from the Ministry of National Defense and going back to my hometown, I was thinking about it in my spare time.For example, how to make good use of the various resources of the SPE browser, how to accelerate binding with Kirin Wings, and how to use Kirin Wings to accelerate the sinking of fourth- and sixth-level counties and cities.

He naturally knows that Life Online is currently under huge debt pressure, so it is inevitable to increase income and reduce expenditure, but the bundling with Kirin Wings actually uses the funds of Kirin Wings, and the benefit it brings is the continuous expansion of the logistics platform.

The huge potential of the SPE browser also needs to be developed. Qi Na hopes to communicate more with Baidu and Google Chrome, and to speed up the collection of life online website pages and optimize them.

The advantage of this is that more and more traffic will come through this search engine, and the quality is no worse than the search effect inside the e-commerce platform.

Of course, the promise to Baidu and Google is that Life Online will continue to prioritize them in the settings of the SPE browser.

This is a two-way mutual benefit, which of course implies the use of existing market advantages to suppress opponents.

Qi Na didn't stop, and then proposed a new platform idea. In the past, domestic Internet companies were always talking about platform construction, building a platform to accommodate countless merchants, but in the end they would be jealous of merchants' profits and plunder merchants' profits in various ways. .

This approach also results in random, lack of forward-looking and systematic platform construction.

So is Life Online retracing this old path?

Of course, Life Online can do everything by itself and do everything by itself, but after a year or so, Life Online has a debt of more than [-] million yuan, and it is rare to get over it in a year or so. If it is financing, it is not important to dilute the shares, but VC and PE. Greed makes them fearful, and they will not raise funds in the short term, so unless they have to, they will never take this step.

That is, maintaining your own independence.In this way, how can life online, which is short of funds, do everything by itself?
Therefore, Qina decided to open the platform and build an APP store of Life Online. Developers can obtain various resources of Life Online for free, organize and analyze these resources to develop APP, or develop APP based on these data. Sellers and buyers All can obtain the APPs they need and obtain different services on this platform.

For example, a developer can obtain basic data based on the interface provided by Life Online, and develop a curve table of online shopping year, month, week, day, and even specific to each product.Through these analyzes to help sellers do a good job in marketing.

Then this APP can be sold to merchants. Of course, there must be many companies making this APP, so it depends on which developer's algorithm is sophisticated and the analysis is in place.

And Life Online will also take a percentage of the developer's revenue. The initial promotion period is [-]%, and Life Online will take [-]%.

It doesn’t seem like much, but later life online will provide cloud services. In order to improve the running speed and compatibility, developers must also purchase these cloud services, which will also become income.

Zheng Xiumin keenly felt that the direction of the future would undergo a huge change, and they would not bother with some specific matters, but would wholeheartedly be a platform.Do cloud services.

Qina nodded: "Including the game platform."

"Then the big data mining you just mentioned involves a problem. If the data is obtained by developers with ulterior motives, it will leak! The privacy of buyers will be affected." Zheng Xiumin grasped the problem Core.

"No, Life Online is currently using data separation technology. When a buyer forms an order, the buyer information, merchant product information, and logistics information are all stored separately. The logistics information will request the buyer's information from the server, and the product information and The buyer’s information is verified through a special code. They will not be directly connected with each other.” Qi Na explained: “Now we still have to let the buyer’s information be transmitted to the logistics information flow and printed on the packaging bag. In the future, we will only print one barcode for each item, which is the code that sends a request to the data server. These codes can only be used on the authorized smart arm. In this way, all buyer information is only transferred to the server. On the Internet, no third party will be able to obtain it, and we will only disclose the basic information of the sale, and will never open the data server of the buyer’s information, thus avoiding the leakage of the buyer’s information.”

Zheng Xiumin communicated with Qi Na carefully and approved his thinking. Qi Na is not only the CTO, but also the chief architect. He can always point out the direction for the website at critical times.In the future, Life Online will abandon the long-term goal of the traditional e-commerce platform, and start to be a platform for the Internet and the Internet of Things, integrating offline and online.This sounds cool and looks beautiful, but on the other hand, the future is also full of uncertainty.But isn't the world full of unknowns? !
