Internet 2010

Tuesday, Conference Room A233, Science and Technology Park.

"Old Cheng. Let's talk about the recent progress of WeChat." Lu Zhou called Cheng Xuyuan to chat alone.

As soon as Cheng Xuyuan sat down, he also directly eliminated Lu Zhou, "Okay, boss, stop pretending? All your submissions in the code repository are fake? You don't know better than me the extent of implementation."

"I can't help but be nervous. Seeing this is what happened, I feel a little out of my mind." Lu Zhou said.

Why doesn't it work? That would be too much to say.

Even if Lu Zhou had a lot of details about the WeChat of his previous life in his mind, he could not completely reproduce an identical WeChat. Maybe the appearance and experience can be aligned, but the service logic inside is basically a whole set of tricks.

Now, Cheng Xuyuan has handled several documents of Luzhou, and has pushed WeChat to several small versions in the past two months. Even taking the simplest sending and receiving of messages as an example, a message is returned to the server through WeChat, and the data is synchronized and then sent back. With such a simple logic, 10,000 programmers can write 10,000 different implementations.

But among them, some are gold, some are shit.

"So, what are you worried about?" Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile.

"I'm worried that the interns will write shit-like code and bring down WeChat's service."

"Grass. What do you mean? Bananas are also made by a few interns. You dare to say that there is no problem in the middle. What if there is a problem, how can you adjust it step by step? As long as it is not an avalanche, small steps of trial and error iterations can't solve it."

Lu Zhou looked at Cheng Xuyuan so angry, but suddenly he relieved some burdens, yes, it can still be reconstructed if it is written as shit. Since he doesn't ask for mistakes, he seems to be worried about gains and losses.

"Okay. You take it."

Lu Zhou suddenly thought a little bit. Where will WeChat become stronger? First, use the preempted channel entrance to quickly enter the mobile market and secure a group of users in advance. As for the follow-up firefight, we have to take it step by step.

He asked again, "Tell me about the plan given by Senior Brother Lu Ming. How is it implemented? How efficient is it to maintain data consistency and alignment when writing a large amount of data?"

"There should be no problem with the plan. But the actual effect is not ideal. There may be problems with the process of the code. No matter the delay or the success rate, it cannot highlight the advantages. Simply put, it is useless and useless."

Hearing this, Lu Zhou sighed, how could this be achieved? The data volume of WeChat will increase geometrically with the expansion of the number of users. And, as WeChat's services expand, it will only expand more rapidly.

This time, there are only two situations that can be stopped. One is that WeChat is dead, and the other is that the growth dividend is over.

Therefore, Lu Ming's research plan must be realized and reached the commercial level. Otherwise, WeChat will not be able to endure the end of the dividend growth.

"This matter has been followed up quickly. It is really impossible to step up recruiting people and practice more. This thing, if you don't do WeChat, you will die directly, either tomorrow or the day after."

Cheng Xuyuan was stunned when he heard it, "It's a bit exaggerated. There should be many alternatives. What's more, WeChat really has such an exaggerated demand? I heard from brother Vancouver, you just add a few terabytes of memory at every turn. "

Exaggerated? No, Lu Zhou just thought it was no exaggeration, and even if he still had money, he would just continue to pile up the number and performance of servers crazily.

One of the reasons why Mi Chat and Talkbox died is that the server resources cannot keep up with the inflated demands of users, resulting in a large number of disconnections and downtime.

Today, there is no mature and reliable cloud service in Huaxia at all. Due to the shortage of short-term server resources, the products and services are unstable, and it will take another month and a half to re-set up the server.

Therefore, once the prediction deviates from the reality and the server resources cannot keep up, WeChat will have no power to fight back.

Since Lu Zhou had already thought of it, how could he have made this loophole happen.

Lu Zhou did not directly respond to Cheng Xuyuan, but replied, "In some of the ideas mentioned in the document, the staged development of WeChat is mentioned. You have already initially realized the first stage - the mobile communication stage. The first stage of this stage The first version carries the most basic functions of WeChat, such as address book, sending and receiving messages and pictures, voice and video functions, LBS, etc. The current code should be implementing a voice engine and doing voice encoding and decoding.”

"Yes. I'm not familiar with the encoding and decoding of speech, and I have already arranged for it to be done. I will try to do the greatest optimization and compress the consumption of traffic to the lowest proportion. It is estimated that the version will be released within a week."

Lu Zhou is not surprised, "Well. I'm not worried about this. On the contrary, I think it is necessary to state this matter clearly. The first stage of WeChat is the most essential communication needs. Consistent with the emergence of the Internet, WeChat is the easiest to use. The form shows a function, yes, it’s just communication. There is no messy logic, just I want to chat with you. Based on the address book, create a new virtual social circle.”

Cheng Xuyuan also responded, "Understood. So I think WeChat's idea is right. After the popularization of mobile phones, it will become an important organ of a person. In the past, we communicated thousands of miles away in front of the computer, but now we can communicate all the time."

"Under this premise, there is no need for Senior Brother Lu to make these plans~www.readwn.com~ Why is it so exaggerated? If you think about the second stage - platformization, you should be able to understand.

The socialized information circle first extends the communication and then forms the information flow according to the relationship of acquaintances. This is a 'new scarf' that is different from Xinlang scarf. We have to kill the suspense under the weakness of the homogenization of the information of the heart wave scarf.

Similarly, the mediaization of bibs is inefficient. From the content platform-based public platform, we expand the original form of information flow of acquaintances in the circle of friends. WeChat makes it easier for users to get news media in a more direct way. This will gather a whole content ecology of the media, and the imagination is boundless. "

Lu Zhou looked directly at Cheng Xuyuan, "Once the first stage of communication has established its advantages, the second stage is almost overwhelming. What kind of behemoth do you think this is? And this is just two stages of communication and information platformization. I'm not worried, this is the need to break through the sky, and a few terabytes of memory are really just playing games."

"Cough. We brothers, can you play less force in front of me." Cheng Xuyuan listened to Lu Zhou and couldn't help re-examining his previous views on WeChat.

When he first heard it, Cheng Xuyuan only felt that WeChat was just Lu Zhou's wild talk, and he came here with a lot of blood and friendship with his classmates. Although the development has been step-by-step in the past one or two months, the words of Lu Zhou at this time have rekindled his ambition.

"It's possible! Even if it's just a glimmer of hope." He thought excitedly.

"Cough. Then my brothers, shouldn't you step up your voice engine?" Lu Zhou laughed and mocked Cheng Xuyuan.

"Okay, I'll step up. Also, when are you going to release it? There are countless small versions in this reserve."

"The end of August at the earliest. Look at the situation in Vancouver."
