Top of the big era

The next day, Zhou Buqi went to Baidu with several bigwigs from the technical committee, including Shen Xiangyang, Xu Liangjie, Wang Jian, Kang Hongbo, Zhang Hongguang, Du Bo and others.

These people are generally in their thirties and forties.

The background is relatively similar.

They are all scientific research institutions from Silicon Valley giants, such as Microsoft Research, Google Research, Oracle Research, IBM Research, eBay Research and so on.

This is also a signal released by Zhou Buqi to Baidu.

The choices of people with lofty ideals are often the same.

Although Ziweixing was born a few years later than Baidu, it has come from behind. Even in the technical field that Baidu is most proud of, Ziweixing has the attitude of catching up and even surpassing it faintly.

For example, Shen Xiangyang, Baidu also invited him at the beginning. Li Yanhong personally came forward, hoping that he could become Baidu's CTO, but he did not agree.

Unexpectedly, after a year, he switched to Ziwei Star as CTO.

The appearance of so many well-known bigwigs in the IT circle has caused quite a stir within Baidu, which has a greater impact than the research work brought by big leaders.

This scene made Li Yanhong feel mixed.

Fortunately, in the next scene, Jean regained his position.

Ziweixing came here this time, focusing on the Pyramid Project, which is a domestically developed big data processing system.

This is world-class technology.

When everyone sat down for a meeting, Li Yanhong could give advice and speak freely, but boss Zhou was dumbfounded and couldn't speak a word, so Xu Liangjie, Shen Xiangyang, Wang Jian and others could only start the discussion.

The two sides exchanged views in the technical field, and sparks of inspiration appeared frequently.

It's a pity that Boss Zhou doesn't understand anything.

She simply stopped participating, lowered her hair and texted, "Xiaomeng, I'm going to my hometown in Northeast China next Monday, are you going?"

Ning Yameng quickly replied to the text message: "I dare not."

Zhou Buqi: "Why don't you dare?"

Ning Yameng: "With my sister protecting me in the capital, and going to the Northeast, I will be incapacitated every day."

Zhou Buqi: "You guessed it all!"

Ning Yameng: "Brother-in-law, you are playing tricks on me again."

Zhou Buqi: "Have you contacted Wu Yu? How much does she pay you?"

Ning Yameng: "Well, five thousand eight."

Zhou Buqi: "Less is a little less, but a company must follow the rules and regulations, and the salary should be matched with the ability. I will give you more money every month, so that you don't have enough money."

Ning Yameng: "Brother-in-law, I don't want you to take care of me."

Zhou Buqi: "Don't be so sensitive, some things don't need to be so clear. As I said yesterday, there are two types of happiness, one is consumption type and the other is supplement type. I like beautiful women for the pursuit of happiness .”

Ning Yameng: "Which type is my sister?"

Zhou Buqi lowered his text messages, smiled knowingly, felt that Ning Yameng was quite good at chatting, and quickly replied: "Those little secretaries and little stars are just consumption-oriented pleasures. It's enough to be happy, and you don't need to absorb any nutrients. You Sister is different, she is very important in my work and life, you don't know, she is a supplement, a supplement to the integrity of my life."

Ning Yameng: "Well, I heard from my sister that she wants to give birth to you, and you agreed."

Zhou Buqi: "You can help me have a baby too."

Ning Yameng avoided this problem, feeling a little inferior, "I haven't gone to college, but I can draw. I'm not as good as my sister in everything. I can't give you anything to add."

Zhou Buqi's fingers flew like flying: "Yes, there are great supplements! You are Ning Yaxian's younger sister, and that's enough. To have both of you sisters, my life is very complete and very supplementary."

Ning Yameng: "I knew it, you are so wicked! You even told my sister about injections and medicine, and asked her to call you master, and wanted me to call you too. My sister was given ecstasy soup by you, so I wouldn't I was fooled."

Zhou Buqi: "Zifeiyu knows the joy of fish?"

Ning Yameng: "How can Zi Feiyu know that fish is not happy?"

Zhou Buqi: "May I treat you to caviar?"

Ning Yameng: "I've turned off the phone, I'm ignoring you!"

Then, it might really shut down.

Zhou Buqi sent several short messages, but she didn't reply.

Then, the doubts in my heart grew a little more.

Something is wrong, there is something wrong with this Ning Yameng, it can be seen from Ning Yaxian's attitude towards her sister and her evasive words.

True gourmets, like Ning Yaxian, are very excited when they hear that there is caviar. Only newcomers who have never eaten caviar will feel that the dense caviar is a bit disgusting, and they dare not try it cautiously.

In the past, life in China was very simple, and such things were not popular.

But with the reform and opening up, things from Europe, America and Japan came in, which opened our eyes to the deliciousness of caviar, so we started to eat it.

The audience is growing.

Especially when the post-90s and post-00s grow up, they will like this kind of food even more. Baked bread and steamed buns should be eaten with caviar.

It's all flooded.

Zhou Buqi became more and more curious about Ning Yameng.

At this time, the discussion at the meeting finally turned from a technical point of view to a commercial point of view.

"call!"

Zhou Buqi breathed a sigh of relief.

I can play by myself.

Zhou Buqi made no secret of his ambitions. Ziweixing wanted to buy Baidu's Pyramid project in a package, and continue to develop this project along the line of thought of this project.

There are only 100 engineers in total, and the annual expenses are only 70-80 million, which Ziweixing can afford.

Previously, Zhou Buqi had communicated with Shen Xiangyang and knew the significance of this project.

In order to facilitate his understanding, Shen Xiangyang gave an example.

Big data is like building a house.

Google built the best house in the world, very happy and proud, and then took out part of the house's drawings and shared it with the world.

Other technology companies built their own houses according to this blueprint.

But after the house is built, the quality is not very good, far inferior to Google.

Among these houses, the house jointly developed by Yahoo and the Apache Foundation has the best effect. Although it is not as good as Google, it is much better than other houses.

Then, Yahoo and the Apache Foundation decided to share the house developed by themselves with the world for free.

This house is called Hadoop Distributed Big Data System Framework.

Now, except for Google, almost all technology companies around the world are using Hadoop, including technology giants such as Microsoft, Amazon, eBay, Microsoft, IBM, and Apple.

The factional struggle within Baidu has also ended, abandoning the house "pyramid" built by itself, and going to use Yahoo's house.

With Yahoo House, there is an advantage.

save money!

You can move in and live in a house built by someone else. You just need to decorate the rough-built house according to your own preferences and needs.

save time and energy.

Microsoft, Amazon, and IBM are all using this house, that is to say, everyone's infrastructure is the same, and their technical level is almost the same.

How good would it be to be able to reach the same level of technology as companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Yahoo?

However, there is another disadvantage.

With this house, you can only be at the same level as Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple. You can only look up to Google, and you will never be able to compare.

Baidu's benchmark is Google, of course not reconciled.

But after a series of internal struggles, now the result is out, they have to face the reality, give up the fantasy of chasing Google in technology, and also use Yahoo's house, and join forces with Microsoft and Amazon.

If you want to surpass Microsoft, Amazon, Apple and other companies, and compete with Google in the field of distributed and big data, there is only one way, independent research and development!

But this is too difficult.

Baidu's Pyramid Project was axed, because after the house was developed, the quality was not as good as Yahoo's house.

However, at least there is an idea, to keep a chance to continue chasing Google.

Technology needs to be iterated and accumulated slowly. If you can’t compare it now, just give up, and the gap will only get bigger and bigger in the future. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and only by persevering and constantly improving ourselves can a breakthrough be possible.

If it fails, it may succeed in the future.

If you give up, you will never succeed.

Shen Xiangyang also said that the house developed by Yahoo is just a rough house, and different companies have to carry out fine decoration according to their own conditions.

Although everyone's houses have the same structure, fine decoration is also a technical work. Some companies can pretend to be resplendent and resplendent, like a palace; some companies can only simply decorate, and there is no difference between returning an adobe house.

This is also the reason why Ziweixing wants to take over the Pyramid project and continue to develop it.

It is almost impossible for the pyramid project to surpass Google.

Even going beyond Hadoop is very difficult.

But technology can be iterated, just like building a staircase, you have to build it up one step at a time. Only with the first step can you build the second step. When the stairs need to be built in other houses, I will come directly to carry them. Even if you don’t move it directly, if you want to build a new staircase, it will be easy to get started if you have the experience and drawings of building stairs in the past.

This is called technical reserve.

This is why Li Yanhong doesn't want to sell the pyramid project to Ziweixing.

Although this project failed, the technology remained and formed a reserve, which can provide assistance for Baidu's new research in the field of distributed and big data in the future.

However, it is not without solutions.

Li Yanhong said: "It's okay to sell the project, but Baidu must own all the intellectual property rights of the pyramid project."

Zhou Buqi glanced at him and smiled, "It's fine for the previous ones, but you may have to pay for the future ones."

Li Yanhong's eyes lit up, he was a little surprised, "Is it okay to pay?"

real or fake?

Really good things cannot be bought.

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "Let's talk about the future. Lao Li, you can see the situation now. The scientists of the Pyramid Project don't want to give up and want to continue working on this project in another place. It's almost enough, the beauty of adults !"

Li Yanhong sighed softly, and said in a very light and peaceful tone, "You can take this project away with a symbolic payment of 1 yuan. I hope you can stick to it and don't give up."

As soon as these words came out, there was thunderous applause in the meeting room.

Many scientists of the pyramid project burst into tears.

It was about to leave, and I was a little bit reluctant.
