What’s Wrong With Me Being a Rich Man?

Chapter 228 Decision Making (5k)

I was very confident when communicating on the phone...

I was very stunning when I met and chatted...

It's just started the honeymoon period...

Yu Xing only felt his scalp numb when Ge Zhijie's performance. The core of the incubation project is to "fight with fast and slow". If this continues, what else can I fight?

He did not immediately express his dissatisfaction, but thought carefully about how to deal with such a thing.

Judging from previous communication, Ge Zhijie's technical ability is enough, and the company needs this. As for his suspected unstable mood...

Yu Xing thought about it and first chatted with the two programmers recruited by Baidu and NetEase, and then confirmed his understanding with Bai Xiaosheng's employees. First, he tried to confirm a safe technical route. For example, compared with Ge Zhijie's mention WeChat seems to be able to design the system architecture by combining hierarchical architecture with distributed ones.

Although the former can theoretically have the advantages of higher scalability, maintainability and technological diversity, it...

"Mr. Yu, it's not that I don't want to support Ge Zhijie's idea, but shouldn't we consider the competition with Penguin when developing such software? We shouldn't have so much time and resources to promote technology, right? Only Alibaba is in this regard in China now. There is practice, this concept of calling it a microservice architecture is good, but I don't think it really suits us."

"This kind of development is very difficult. We do not have experience in this area. We rashly try to split a large system into multiple microservices. Development and maintenance are problems. I just think about it and feel a headache. Cross-service business Logical coordination can be complicated and data consistency must be maintained..."

Tan Ruize, who had disagreements and quarrels with Ge Zhijie before, gave a very firm opinion. His proposal was to combine hierarchical architecture and distributed approach.

Yu Xing was not impatient and asked the employee from NetEase’s opinion: “Combining hierarchical architecture and distributed approach is not the only solution now, right?”

"Yes, but compared to what Ge Zhijie wants to do, this has been much more restrained." Tan Ruize talked happily, "Mr. Yu, what kind of system architecture to choose, we have to use it according to the characteristics of the software, such as WeChat. Once successful, it will not have few functions, the user scale will not be small, the data volume will be large, and the real-time requirements will be high."

"We divided the system functions from the beginning, including presentation layer, business logic layer, data access layer, etc., so that the structure is clear and easier to maintain and expand. Different levels can also be developed and maintained by different teams."

"I don't know if software like WeChat can achieve success in the market, but I think it's better to consider improving the system's concurrent processing capabilities. Distributed architectures can meet such needs."

"This is a long story to say. Mr. Yu, I will sort out all these into a report tonight and I will give them to you tomorrow."

"In short, I think Ge Zhijie's idea is too advanced. Other architectures on the market are easy to develop and deploy individuals. However, with more WeChat functions, the code complexity will increase sharply. Later modification functions may affect the system. Stability is not easy to meet the needs of high concurrency scenarios."

"If you use the master-slave architecture, its data synchronization may be delayed, which is not conducive to real-time chat on WeChat. If you do a simple hierarchical architecture, it does not have distributed support, and once you need to deal with high concurrency and large-scale users, you need to deal with The data may soon see performance bottlenecks.”

Yu Xing digested this information, thought about it and asked, "As you said, if you only have a hierarchical architecture, according to the current conventional situation, how large the size of the user will encounter a performance bottleneck?"

"This has something to do with whether the business logic is complicated or not, um..." Tan Ruize thought about it for a while and said, "From a vague point, it may be easy to encounter bottlenecks for 300,000 to 500,000 yuan. This is the demand for instant communication, and the system needs it. Have the ability to process a large number of requests simultaneously in a short period of time.”

He said seriously: "Otherwise, the two products, QQ will not be stuck, and ours will use cards, how can we compete?"

Yu Xing was activated by listening to Tan Ruize's words. Has MiTalk encountered such a problem?

It launched the voice function earlier than WeChat, which attracted fans, but it often went down and seriously affected the user experience.

The experience of this product is definitely very important, and Penguin has made QQ the first in China, so its experience and ability to deal with this aspect are of no exception.

Now that I am making competitors, I need to make the user scale to achieve the minimum sniping effect... The number that Yu Xing expected is ultimately tens of millions, that is, I have at least 10 million users when I sold it.

This will not only sell at a price, but also truly have an impact on the penguin.

Of course, you must make a foundation, the more the better.

Yu Xing hesitated for a while and asked, "I listened to this... How big is the team that requires to do development like this?"

"Mr. Yu, I'll do the calculations for you. Do the overall organization design and technology selection. This requires three to five people. The front-end is for Android, iOS and Symbian. Each platform requires five to eight people, and the back-end is responsible for it. Implementing WeChat's business logic, we need to develop distributed systems and data management here. I don't know if fifteen people can stop it. Yes, there are also mobile adaptation and optimization. I feel like five people need to do functions, performance, Testing of compatibility and other aspects…” Tan Ruize calculated carefully with his fingers.

Yu Xing couldn't help but interrupt, "You wrote all the details in the evening report. How many people are there in total?"

Tan Ruize thought silently and quickly gave the answer: "80 to 120 people."

Yu Xing frowned. Before considering the development background of Zhang Xiaolong's team, the team expected to be around 20 people, and the core team was Ge Zhijie's five people. Now, the scale has expanded too quickly.

But he thought about it again and said that this should be correct.

Product development is not difficult, but the difficulty is the support for the product behind it.

What Zhang Xiaolong and the others encountered in this regard would only be a small problem. Penguin could quickly provide support after confirmation. If it wanted to start from scratch, it would need to make technical plans in this regard. However, as soon as the company was established, the number of employees would be pursued. Bai Xiaosheng, who has been working for a year and a half.

Seeing that Mr. Yu was considering, Tan Ruize added: "Penguin's system architecture is also similar, and its user scale is larger and adopts more architectural designs. Since the product should be benchmarked against Penguin, this aspect should be used to it. Learned.”

It is hard for Yu Xing to disagree.

He pondered for a while and said, "Then you give me the report tomorrow morning, and we will try to determine the direction and budget within two days."

Tan Ruize was surprised. He said that these were indeed what he thought about after careful consideration, and it was worthy of his treatment, but he did not expect such a direct response.

What should the leader be like?

Is this a good deal?

Although Mr. Yu did not agree immediately, his attitude was quite clear.

Tan Ruize was both surprised and excited.

"I can understand Ge Zhijie's idea now, and so do your idea, but we need to find the most suitable realistic path under the pressure of competition among giants." Yu Xing expressed his position, "Since we want to do it, we will do it." The best thing within our ability, and then see how it will be.”

The best within the range of ability!

Yu Xing didn't hesitate too much. He was already more inclined to Tan Ruize's idea because...

Well, the system architecture of a core business like Penguin is an instant messaging product is very convincing.

Regardless of the number of users, product functions, or system stability, giants naturally have the technical foundation of giants. Considering that an emerging application is not really a big devil like QQ with hundreds of millions of users, the effect of preparation in advance may be able to be. Support this early competition.

Yu Xing had a account in his mind. Even according to Tan Ruize's estimated upper limit, the salary expenditure of 120 people will not exceed 15 million within one year, while WeChat's account now has 20 million.

As long as WeChat companies can make some hope, intermediate financing can support the necessary investment.

Output is greater than input, and this is a profitable account.

What's more, there is an opportunity to cross the mountain.

After initially becoming inclined that night, Yu Xing compiled a recording of the conversation with Tan Ruize and used the main technical parts to seek the opinions of Bai Xiaosheng programmers.

There is no doubt that Bai Xiaosheng's programmers have a big gap with Tan Ruize and Ge Zhijie who were invited at a high price, but they can also provide indirect evidence.

In the end, Yu Xing got a feeling.

Ge Zhijie is a radical, while Tan Ruize is a less radical.

The next morning, at 8:30, Yu Xing invited Ge Zhijie to his office and tried to solve some of his ideological pressure. He first raised three questions.

"Mr. Ge, do you think the WeChat company, which we have just established less than a month ago, is a big company?"

"Mr. Ge, do you think our technical strength can be comparable to Alibaba, which explores the cutting-edge of technology?"

"Mr. Ge, do you think the company's funds can support these?" Ge Zhijie remained silent, his face starting to look a little bad.

After a while, he gave himself an idea: "This is the foundation for the competition with Penguin products. It may indeed require some exploration, but I have been trying to communicate with people from Alibaba these two days. Maybe I can find a few people. Have experience and ability in this area.”

"Mr. Ge, we cannot reserve so much time to explore. We need to come up with a set of effective solutions as much as possible." Yu Xing pointed out the problem, "Our main contradiction at present is to take advantage of the penguin's reopening. We didn’t try our best to run for a while on the mobile side. The longer we were in this run, the more we had hope of success.”

"If it can succeed, it will not be too late to explore the other way around. Let's take Alibaba as you mentioned. It has only started exploring in the past two years. Why did it do these things when it was not established?"

"These are all the same truth. We can't be obsessed with the magic of the cutting-edge technology."

Ge Zhijie was criticized for a few words like this, and his unstable emotions began to move again.

"Mr. Ge, don't resign." Yu Xing noticed a trace of signs, stopped it first, then talked about his experience, and said sincerely, "Mr. Ge, you also know that I am a medical student. We have a concept called "evidence-based". Medicine, said that it is necessary to combine the doctor's personal experience with the best current research, and then consider the patient's wishes to develop the most suitable plan."

"In terms of experience, it depends on the experience of you people. In terms of best research, we should not look at Alibaba in China, but on the penguin that is doing instant messaging..."

After saying this, Yu Xing handed over the report that Tan Ruize wrote overnight. The above explained Penguin's system architecture design, and compared the advantages and disadvantages of various architectures, as well as the current situation of WeChat companies.

It has to be said that Tan Ruize's profound statement will break his impression of programmers.

"Mr. Yu, do you think he is more correct, right?" Ge Zhijie gave this sentence after reading it.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

"WeChat company needs a direction that is more suitable for the current stage. As for whether his suggestions are more correct, I hope Mr. Ge can communicate with him carefully before giving me an answer." Yu Xing said this, continuing the third one he didn't say just now Factors, "How the company develops depends on its will. Mr. Ge, you must fully consider my willingness to invest, so that we can walk the fastest way."

Ge Zhijie looked at Mr. Yu in front of him, and his expression was still not very good.

Yu Xing did not persuade him like he did in the previous few days, but said, "Mr. Ge, the initial stage of the company is to 'go to be able to go'. Tan Ruize will be our technical deputy director from today."

"I feel uncomfortable..." Ge Zhijie's emotions fluctuated and wanted to resign again.

Yu Xing directly interrupted: "Mr. Ge, the company is recruiting people, and Bai Xiaosheng's recruitment team is also helping to recruit people, but some people reported that Baidu's technology is not very good, so I suggest that I go from NetEase, Huawei, Alibaba, etc. Company recruitment.”

Ge Zhijie laughed disdainfully, thinking that this might be true, but it is more likely that it was Mr. Yu's provocation.

"You have to prove something before quitting, right? Even if I spend my first 20 million budget?" Yu Xing shook his head slightly, showing some disdain, "It seems that Tan Ruize at least dares to do so in this way. I spent money, and I dared to ask me for a budget."

Yu Xing seemed to have found the second person to enter the honeymoon period.

He saw Ge Zhijie not speaking and continued, "Mr. Ge, we signed the contract in black and white before, but if you are really afraid of Penguin, I understand. If you think clearly, leave as long as you want, then let Tan Ruize be the I think this technical director is not inferior to you."

Ge Zhijie put down the report and glanced at Mr. Yu: "Okay, Mr. Yu, you have the courage to pay, but others have no reason not to spend it. Pressure is pressure. Everyone who faces penguins has pressure. I still think microservices will It's a better and longer-term choice, but since you say that, then come on like this."

Yu Xing said "yes".

"I'll go find Tan Ruize." Ge Zhijie took a step and said again, "I'll go and inform him to be the deputy technical director."

Yu Xing answered one word: "Okay."

The president's office is quiet again.

Yu Xing picked up the report and couldn't help frowning. He really couldn't understand Ge Zhijie's emotions. If he chose again now, he really felt that Tan Ruize seemed to be more suitable.

But then I thought about it...

Don’t Tan Ruize have other problems, right?

Those who work on technology always have to return to the technical level to speak, and these can be verified quickly with time.

Yu Xing called the secretary in and asked him to go downstairs to coordinate the recruitment of WeChat companies. He just made an order from Bai Xiaosheng, so he could find candidates quickly and efficiently.

As noon approached, Yu Xing was still thinking about the development of WeChat, and a number that he had almost never contacted appeared on the phone, Li Shanyou from Ku6.com.

"Hey, Mr. Yu, I wish you a wish for your old age." Li Shanyou greeted with a smile.

When "You're the One" was first recorded, Yu Xing and Li Shanyou were next to each other, and it was normal to communicate with each other, but they didn't have much close relationship.

So, Yu Xing was a little puzzled by his sudden call, and only after a few greetings did he know the purpose of his visit.

"I watched the program that just aired, and President Yu was still muttering me." Li Shanyou's laughter faded a little, "Mr. Yu's news is very informative."

Yu Xing was a little surprised and said frankly: "Mr. Li, I don't know what you mean. I haven't recorded a show for a long time, so I feel a little moved when I haven't seen many familiar people."

Li Shanyou on the other end of the phone was a little suspicious of such a remark, but after thinking for a few seconds, he chose to believe it, and sighed, "Mr. Yu, I'm leaving Ku6.com. I thought you had already received the news, and then mentioned it like that. I."

Yu Xing was amused and crying: "I really don't have this."

"Aren't you Bai Xiaosheng?" Li Shanyou said.

Yu Xing replied, "It's not that long..."

Li Shanyou was silent for a while and said, "Mr. Yu, I have a ruthless request. I thought you had found conflicts within our company. Alas, since there is no, I also called. I will say, if it is one day. The news of me leaving Cool 6 was revealed. I hope Bai Xiaosheng will not make a big splash or describe the conflict between me and Shanda."

Cool6.com was acquired by Shanda in 2009 and was immediately injected into Huayou Century, which was listed on the Nasdaq, achieving a curved listing.

When Yu Xing heard this request, he could only respond regretfully: "Mr. Li, do you know what kind of person I am?"

Li Shanyou: “…”

It seems that some of the entrusted things are not human!

He could only say, "Then please don't distort the truth and don't distort the facts."

Yu Xing promised: "This is certain, of course, if this matter is irreversible, I think, Mr. Li, you can post a post on the forum yourself, and the effect will be better. What do you think?"

Li Shanyou pondered for a moment, and felt that this was right, so he answered: "Okay, let me speak out when I officially resign, so as not to be unreasonably speculated."

Yu Xing asked at this time: "Even you have resigned, then does Shanda have any plans to lay off employees in the future?"

Li Shanyou's scalp was a little numb: "I probably can't decide this anymore."

Yu Xing no longer asked more and only gave blessings: "Mr. Li, leaving Ku6 may not be a bad thing. I hope you will start a new journey this year."

Li Shanyou thanked the blessing. After finishing the call, he held his cell phone. He was stunned for a while and realized that he had not achieved his goal at all. Instead, he wanted to post on Bai Xiaosheng...

He shook his head, only helplessness and sigh.

Yu Xing at the other end thought about the call for a while, not thinking that this was a big deal, but still instructed the secretary.

"Follow the situation of Xiaku6.com, there seems to be changes in the near future."

Don’t let go of big things, don’t miss small things.

Wechat needs to be expanded, and Bai Xiaosheng must continue to develop.
