Top of the big era

Brother Ma was a little flustered.

After entering December, the daily active users of QQ decreased by one or two million almost every day.

At its peak in October, QQ’s daily active users once exceeded 80 million. Now, it has fallen below 70 million.

The situation is not good!

What's more serious is that Ziweixing participated in the national strategy project! This is equivalent to half of the national team! If it's just a mobile phone operating system, that's fine.

The mobile phone operating system is mobile-oriented, Ziweixing just sent a team of expert consultants, and will take half a day every week to give appropriate guidance on technology.

Even more serious is the distributed database named "Feitian".

There has been a lot of fire in the industry recently.

It is said that Ziweixing's gold coin operating system processes more than 2 billion pieces of data every day, and all of them are gold coin data, which is important data that cannot be wrong at all.

Other companies don't know how difficult the technology is, but Penguin knows it all too well.

A Q currency system has made many mistakes over the years. Even now there are several loopholes, and people often take advantage of the loopholes to swipe Q coins, causing economic losses to Penguin.

One of the most important reasons for this is that data management is not in place. The increase and decrease of the number of Q coins cannot be effectively supervised and controlled by technology.

The number of gold coins to be processed by the gold coin wallet system is tens of thousands of times that of Q coins. Without distributed technology, such a task cannot be completed at all. The technology gap between the two sides is very large.

According to the information secretly obtained from Ziweixing, it is said that the gold coin wallet system has a total of 1,000 servers. Among them, 100 servers are applied to the Feitian distributed database, and through 10% of the number of servers, they carry more than 40% of the traffic pressure.

It is said that Ziweixing intends to spend 6-10 months to transfer all the traffic of the gold coin wallet system to the Feitian distributed database, and let the domestic self-developed database take on the most important tasks.

Recently, news came out that the leaders of the State Food and Drug Administration went to Ziweixing for inspection. The goal of the investigation is the domestic self-developed Feitian distributed database.

The amount of food and medicines in China is too large, not only the food and medicines currently on the market, but also the products of the past few decades have to be recorded. The same product, different batches, different manufacturers, different ingredients... the total data volume can reach tens of billions.

With the traditional Oracle database, it is troublesome to manage, the response is extremely slow, and the efficiency is extremely poor.

The only way to manage these data partitions is to create a database for each district, which will be very troublesome.

Moreover, using foreign databases is not to mention expensive, and the confidentiality is not reliable.

This is just food and drug data, what about other more confidential and sensitive data? What database to use to manage? Other domestic databases are very traditional, with weak functions and poor efficiency.

If the Feitian distributed database is completed, it will be of great significance.

The Food and Drug Administration's visit to Ziweixing this time is just sending a signal. Ordinary people may not be able to notice anything, but people in the industry will soon realize what it is.

Ziweixing has secretly started the development route of the national strategy!

I can't afford it!

Now, the "10 billion subsidy" issue on the Internet is still very controversial, and the joint investigation team of the five ministries and commissions to Ziweixing has not given a result for a long time.

But Brother Xiao Ma already felt that the situation was not good.

A subsidy of tens of billions...even if it is really false propaganda and false marketing, so what? This kind of small mistakes can't conceal the brilliance of Ziweixing's important role in the great power strategy!

There are only two outcomes of this matter.

Either it is an official platform, and it is qualitatively true. Either it is official help and muddle-headedness, and big things are turned into small things.

Either way, it's good for Helo.

In this case, once QQ and Helo start vicious competition... Damn! If you can't guarantee it, you have to pull the side frame!

Brother Ma was scared.

The yin and ruthless ones dare not use it anymore, and want to negotiate peace with Ziweixing, and put the competition between the two parties within the scope of fairness and law-abiding, and do not offside or cross the line.

Prior to this, Ji Zian, the senior vice president of Ziwei Star and the president of the software business group, came to the door twice, hoping that the two sides can maintain the bottom line of competition, develop peacefully, and jointly promote the prosperity of the domestic instant messaging market.

It's a pity that Brother Ma refused.

"This matter must be resolved immediately!"

Brother Xiao Ma was flustered, feeling the seriousness of the situation, and planned to go north immediately to talk to people from Ziwei Star in person and reach a peace agreement.

Let the assistant communicate first.

Ten minutes later, the assistant came back with an ugly face.

Brother Xiaoma froze for a moment, "Don't you see?"

The assistant shook his head, "The person who was transferred was not Mr. Ji, but a vice president of the software business group named Meng, named Meng Houkun. This person... has a very strong tone."

An ominous premonition appeared in Brother Xiao Ma's heart, "What's the matter?"

The assistant said: "It is said that they are going to change their strategy. Before that, they were all thinking about peaceful development and friendly coexistence. The leader of this idea is Ji Zian. He has been here twice. But we rejected them all. Mr. Meng Said, but one thing, two things, three things, Mr. Ji has given up his mind and let go of this business."

Brother Xiao Ma's heart sank, his face was solemn, "This person's ideas are very intense?"

The assistant said in a deep voice, "Yes, very arrogant!"

"That's enough confidence."

Brother Xiao Ma sneered twice.

Some time ago, I even took the initiative to come to the door. The sudden change of direction right now must have something to do with the current situation. One is to participate in the research and development of the mobile phone operating system, and the other is that the distributed database has attracted the attention of relevant parties.

You can really see the wind and make the rudder, judge the situation!

The assistant gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Meng's attitude is very strong, and even... he even said some very excessive words. He said that in the past month, QQ has done a lot of tricks behind the scenes in order to deal with Helo. Now that he has come to take over, he Fight back."

"Counterattack..." Little Ma muttered to himself.

The assistant said slowly: "Yes, counterattack, he said that the gold coin wallet system will launch a new reward task next, calling on users to uninstall QQ..."

"What?"

Brother Xiaoma's face changed suddenly.

"What's more, it also said that we will let Weidian Security Guard and Weidian Antivirus block all QQ related products, and even...even require users to choose between Weidian Antivirus and QQ."

"hiss!"

Little Ma took a deep breath.

The most worrying thing is about to happen!

He had no doubt that Ziweixing would do this.

Before that, Weidian and Baidu joined forces to do this, and other search engines were hit, and Google's market share has been reduced to less than 10 points.

"Arrange immediately, I want to go to Beijing!"

Can't wait, must act now.

Three hands ready.

On the one hand, they dealt with Ziweixing to resolve disputes. In the past month, they did use some disgraceful means to eliminate the bad influence; It is to find more leaders, friends, and support relationships to turn hostility into friendship.

At this time, the secretary ran over in high-heeled shoes, "Someone spoke for us online! We call on everyone to use QQ and boycott Helo!"

Brother Xiao Ma twitched the corner of his mouth, "Isn't it Miss Feng?"

"no."

"That's good."

Brother Xiaoma breathed a sigh of relief and was secretly delighted.

In the final analysis, making products is still grabbing users. As long as there is the approval of users, it doesn't matter if it lags behind or becomes passive in other aspects.

The secretary had a weird expression on her face, "It's Sister Fu Rong."

"Fuck! Damn it!"

Little Ma broke down.

conspiracy!

Absolutely a conspiracy!

...

In the next three days, the basic business framework has been determined.

The two roads of website and software have already begun.

From a technical point of view, the difficulty of the website lies in the volume, the greater the volume, the more difficult it is, and the research on big data is required. The difficulty of software lies in its precision. The more complex the internal logic, the more powerful the functions and the more stable the performance.

In comparison, software is more difficult.

In the field of websites, there are more and more open source projects in Silicon Valley, and the gap between China and the United States is not that big. Software is different, the gap is very large.

Especially in the field of engineering software, such as EDA software for designing chips, it is deeply constrained in China.

In comparison, Japan's software level is also much stronger than that in China. Japan also has enough talents in software. Silicon Valley giants such as Microsoft, IBM, and Oracle have established software research centers here.

UC's software business can be safely and boldly handed over to local people.

The website business is not so good.

Tang Binchen sighed and suggested: "I think the website business should be deployed by the middle office at the headquarters. Isn't there a Weibo in China? The website framework is the same as YikYak. The domestic team should build the framework. , just take it directly from Japan and let the locals do the exterior design and localized style processing.”

"Uh..." Zhou Buqi coughed lightly, "There is no such plan in China yet, and Helo and QQ are fighting fiercely, so there is no way to get distracted."

"Then what should we do?" Tang Binchen opened his eyes wide and frowned, "Anyway, this matter has to be done domestically. Just these small...cough, the efficiency of these Japanese employees can't be built in two or three months. stand up."

Wang Xing was moved, and suggested: "Why don't you organize a team in China first to build the framework of the website? This is very simple. Give me two weeks and it will be completed. As for whether the microblog business is going to start, you can wait for the opportunity." .”

Zhou Buqi nodded and acquiesced.

The two paths of Japanese business and the business model have also been preliminarily confirmed.

For the website business, the important research and development work is mainly done domestically, and it is enough for the Japanese side to do some appearance design, maintenance and update, and localization transformation.

In the short term, the software business will be dominated by China. Once it is done in the future, it is best to be undertaken by Japan to make the software quality better and more stable. It is even possible to set up a branch of Ziweixing Research Institute in Japan, specializing in software development.
