Internet 2010

After lingering with Ye Qingchen, Lu Zhou rushed to Guangnan Airport after lunch.

Two and a half hours later, the plane arrived at Beijing Airport.

After getting on the taxi, Lu Zhou continued to perfect the concept of WeChat with a notebook in the car, and the vehicle did not drive into the Zhongguancun area until six o'clock.

Qiandu's headquarter is located in Shangdi Science and Technology Park. After listing on Nasdaq in 2005, Qiandu spent 100 million yuan to purchase this land to build its headquarters.

Later, the designer of the "Bird's Nest" designed the building for Qiandu, and the building was capped in the same year as the Olympic Games.

Lu Zhou had passed by this place many times in his previous life. Although he secretly complained about his strong "bird's nest" wind countless times, it is difficult to tell whether he envied him with emotion or not.

Even if it later attracted the disdain of the public due to various product problems, it has to be admitted that it still represents the top power of China Internet.

When he got around the building, he called Cheng Xuyuan.

After a while, Cheng Xuyuan came downstairs.

Lu Zhou met Cheng Xuyuan again, but it didn't change much from his memory. To say it was younger and more energetic.

Although the name Dad and Mom completely represents his life experience so far, he doesn't look like a science and engineering man or a programmer in the impression of ordinary people.

He was dressed in a black punk style, with half-length hair and a ponytail. He looked literary, more like a rock star.

Lu Zhou was half a head taller than him. Before he came, he was afraid that the capital would be cooler, so he put on a blue sweater, which looked like a fresh graduate.

The duo with different styles stood in front of the Thousand Degrees Building, attracting the attention of some people from time to time.

Cheng Xuyuan handed Lu Zhou a cigarette and lit one himself.

Lu Zhou looked at the beard on half of his face and added the cigarette between his fingers, "I'm still a prodigal son.", he thought.

Cheng Xuyuan said, "You kid, you really come here. I usually don't call once in two or three months, but this time it's better, just a phone call."

Lu Zhou replied with a smile, "Isn't that in a hurry to recruit Cheng Dashen? Can you be in a hurry?"

Cheng Xuyuan made a joke after hearing it, "Come on, I've been so busy lately that I have to ask for leave in order to meet you. It's not like your boss, you can leave when you say it, and come when you say it."

"Oh? So busy? What business are you busy with?"

"I won't say any more, the word 'Sogou', just imagine the rest."

As soon as Lu Zhou heard it, he followed his memory and groped for the details in the middle. Since Sohu spun off Sogou, Sogou immediately launched the search business.

He directly challenged Qiandu on the frontal battlefield, followed by the launch of Huaxia's "Internet Input Method" with search engine technology, and then used the browser as a sharp blade to try to break through Qiandu's high wall.

And right now Cheng Xuyuan is working at a thousand degrees, which involves nothing more than one of the above.

"Input method?" Lu Zhou asked uncertainly.

After all, Qiandu search is already dominant, and what Sogou can threaten Qiandu is the input method and browser, especially the proportion of input method in China has been high all the year round.

Cheng Xuyuan and Lu Zhou were walking side by side to a nearby restaurant, and suddenly they heard the three words Lu Zhou said, and their expressions suddenly changed.

Qiandu’s input method project at this time was being developed in secret, and Cheng Xuyuan only thought that Lu Zhou would guess that Qiandu would continue to suppress Sogou’s search business.

How could Cheng Xuyuan know that Lu Zhou's sense of smell was so sensitive, he hurriedly said, "When I didn't say anything."

And Lu Zhou also made an "OK" gesture, "Then why do you still have to solve the matter of the Internet Alliance?"

"It's a long story. I have several jobs now. Although it's not the main job, I'm so busy every day that I can't find Bei. Just this restaurant will do."

Cheng Xuyuan pointed to the barbecue restaurant in front.

"Okay. It doesn't matter."

Entering the store, the two first took the ingredients and put them on the table.

Lu Zhou put the raw beef into the iron plate and said, "How about it, are you interested in starting a business together?"

"Zizzizi", the raw beef touches the hot iron plate, making a sound and then smelling.

Cheng Xuyuan threw the mutton in, "It's too early. My own technology is not at home, so it doesn't make much sense to go out now."

Lu Zhou smiled, "Then you didn't tell me directly. In terms of technology, I'm not as good as you."

Cheng Xuyuan turned the mutton over and said, "Don't. I'll just say myself, you're not doing it right."

"A few questions for you."

"Say."

"When was the distributed classical problem and the Byzantine problem proposed?"

Cheng Xuyuan was stunned when he heard it, and didn't understand Lu Zhou's intention, "Leslie Lamport's thesis in the 1980s was at least before we were born."

"What about the industry's practical attempts on this problem?"

After hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan thought for a while, "Lesile then mentioned Paxos in 1990, although it can't solve the problem, it should be the most effective method in the non-Byzantine system.

PBFT in 1999, and later optimized from exponential algorithm to polynomial level.

Apache's HDFS is a really usable thing.

In the past two years, the Pow mentioned by satoshi was barely considered, and he even got a bitcoin and ran it, although it may be a joke to talk about performance. "

Cheng Xuyuan picked up the mutton, dipped it in the sauce, and put it into his mouth, "Ask what this thing is for, it counts as a test for me?"

Lu Zhou continued, "Your company should also be studying related issues."

"Indeed. There is no company that doesn't pay attention. What's more, Amazon is involved in the concept of cloud computing. It's hard to say exactly what cloud is, and no one really does it except Amazon. But its own business must be distributed, and no research is needed. Wait for the system to cool down?"

Lu Zhou sandwiched the beef, "Okay. It may take more than ten years from the genius idea to the final realization. But one day, it will be realized sooner or later."

"So? What do you want to express?"

Lu Zhou said with a smile, "Technology is endless. Admit it, everyone is not a genius~www.readwn.com~ Your technique is not at home, and you will still be at home in fifty years."

"..."

Cheng Xuyuan said helplessly, "I went around such a big bend just to hurt me like this?"

"Isn't that, by the way, look back at the research you did when you were still in school?"

The two looked at each other for a moment and laughed.

Another round of meat slices down to the iron plate.

Cheng Xuyuan raised his glass and said, "It sounds like this, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that you are talking nonsense. Those are all theoretical studies, and we are nothing more than practitioners who learn the ideas and implement them with programs. Not to mention the middle To implement and build a large-scale system, those who have not dealt with it will not know the difficulties in the middle.”

"So, at least let me experience a huge system of hundreds of millions, otherwise I'll have to live in a thousand degrees."

Lu Zhou also raised the cup in his hand and touched Cheng Xuyuan.

"Okay! It makes sense. Those thousand-degree Ali Penguins, these active giants, which are not starting from scratch. According to you, none of them can do it. The fact is, from zero to millions , to 100 million, they are all realized in exploration.

At least, I can't feel that I am different from Robin and the other three, and I have to wait until I have experienced it before I do it myself. "

Cheng Xuyuan shook his head, "Then have you thought about how many corpses they stepped on under their feet? Didn't they start from scratch to death?

You are a newborn calf and you are not afraid of tigers, or you are not afraid of tigers. "

Lu Zhou laughed, "It's just death, it's no big deal. The big deal is to start all over again."

Perhaps it was Lu Zhou's arrogance that shocked Cheng Xuyuan. He only felt that Lu Zhou was very different from what he had known before, and in his heart, it seemed like a fire was burning.
