On October 20, Ning Ya’s dream was born.

a boy.

The Zhou family was shocked. My parents came over without telling me, and my grandfather was not willing to be lonely. He scolded Zhou Buqi on the phone, and then stubbornly said that he was going to the United States to meet his great-grandson.

Depend on!

Preferring boys over girls!

When Ning Yaxian gave birth to a girl, I didn't see you so excited.

There was no other way, so Zhou Buqi arranged an emergency flight, found some connections, got a pass, and brought his grandfather over. In order to show his filial piety, his father had to go back to China and pick him up specially.

With this kind of arrangement, Zhou Buqi feels at ease.

Grandpa's anger was vented on his father on the road, and he was beaten and scolded. It was time to calm down when he arrived in Los Angeles. It was really not that he wanted to give birth to the child in the United States. It was Ning Ya's dream that had no name or status.

It is not appropriate to give birth in China.

In short, the Zhou family is happy.

Zhou Buqi was also relieved and felt a sense of ease in completing the task. He felt that continuing the family line was more difficult than starting a company with a valuation of US$10 billion.

That's right, a venture capital company recently came to our door and said it was willing to finance Ziweixing International at a valuation of US$10 billion.

This kind of wishful thinking was firmly rejected by Zhou Buqi!

The data performance of Ziweixing International is indeed not as good as that of domestic companies.

But it has great potential!

The Japanese market has been won, and helo on smartphones has become a flagship product with more than 26 million users. Are these two amazing business results only worth US$10 billion?

Go play with eggs!

Mainly because the capital market is still taking a wait-and-see attitude towards mobile Internet. Helo has a lot of users, but how can it make money? This is a pure money-burning thing.

Also, smartphones are prone to malfunctions and problems. Can they really replace feature phones?

Zhou Buqi is not in a hurry. Ziweixing International still has money in its account, but the valuation given by the market is too low, so it is better to just issue bonds. The top priority is to promote helo as soon as possible and strive to promote it to everyone.

In a smartphone!

On this day, Zhou Buqi flew to Silicon Valley and participated in a secret meeting of Ziweixing International.

Extremely high specifications!

Ordinary vice presidents are not eligible to participate.

The attendees were either Zhou Buqi's confidants or Lu Qi's confidants... There was no one with fair skin, they were all Chinese.

This meeting was to do something shady.

Since helo was launched on Apple phones at the end of January this year and on Android phones in February, it quickly received high praise from the market. Various technology forums, magazines, newspapers and news media all spontaneously promoted this

A very practical social product with a good experience.

Taking advantage of the huge sales of smartphones and the limited number of apps, helo seized the bonus period and soon became the most popular product.

Then, the imitators appeared.

There are at least 30 similar products on the market, and many of the product designs are very similar. Although none of them have achieved success, several startups have already received financing, and they may make some achievements next.

As the dominant player in the market, helo must consolidate its position!

The plan was proposed by a fellow from the Northeast, named Fang Dongbin. He studied at Tsinghua University for his undergraduate degree. He went abroad to study for a master's degree at Berkeley in 2002, and later joined Yahoo.

Now he is the vice president of products of Ziweixing International.

His suggestion is that in order to combat competitors, helo can use some technical means to do some things in the backend of the product.

The general logic is that the configuration of the mobile phone is relatively low, so you can make a fuss about the storage.

Because the memory is small, the phone cannot run multiple apps in the background at the same time, causing insufficient memory, which can lead to lags, even startup crashes and other failures.

Therefore, current apps are relatively simple, have relatively few functions, and cannot take up too much memory resources.

This can be used as a trick.

For example, there is a social product called hala on the market, which has strong plagiarism properties and has just received US$1 million in venture financing.

Under normal circumstances, when users use helo, there should not be too many activities in the background of helo, so as not to cause the core functions of the product to become unsmooth.

For mobile phone products, we must first adapt to the performance of the mobile phone. This is the first principle of product design.

However, if the mobile phone user downloads and tries hala at this time, helo can secretly do things in the background. For example, it constantly searches the address book and the photo library, occupying as much phone memory as possible to seize the space. The computing power of the processor.

At that time, when users use hala, the response will be very slow, it will freeze or even crash.

Once halo is closed, helo's background activities will end.

The phone can be used smoothly again.

How do users know the complicated reasons behind this?

I only know that when using hala, the phone will freeze and the experience is very bad. It must be that hala is a junk product, and then I will uninstall it in disappointment.

helo successfully defeated its competitors.

When Zhou Buqi saw the proposals in this report, he was in a daze. Isn't this a very familiar domestic routine? Is this going to be used on the American emperor?

Really good at playing!

After a simple communication with Lu Qi, he said that it was not technically difficult, but it was morally inappropriate.

Zhou Buqi snorted coldly.

Morality?

Morality is of no use?!

This is the American emperor!

The most important thing now is to let helo firmly secure the first place in the market!

Ziweixing International has such a large business in overseas markets. Without helo, the core product, it would be too risky.

Now that smartphones have just emerged, the iOS and Android system teams are focusing their main efforts on system maintenance, improvement and upgrades.

It’s not my turn to do supervision yet.

For example, Google has just put forward a general strategy internally, saying that it will disassemble the Android system, part of which will be open source Android, and part of which will be integrated with Google products and services into Google gms.

The monitoring and anti-rogue software functions in the Android system mainly come from Google gms.

Not yet!

Smartphones are now in a state of streaking, and all apps are in an unfettered state... Small companies may lack energy and lack of technology.

Big companies have room to maneuver, so why not take advantage of it?

Zhou Buqi immediately made a decision and decided to do this! No matter what, before helo can firmly grab this track, he must try to eliminate all external risks!

However, this is a shady matter after all.

In this secret meeting, all the people present were Chinese, not even second-generation Chinese. They were all people who were born and raised in China and then went abroad to work.

At the beginning of the meeting, Fang Dongbin, the vice president of product who submitted the proposal, said plausibly: "I don't think there is anything wrong. They copied our product design, and they were the ones who were wronged in the first place. We call this self-defense!"

"It is indeed self-defense." Zhou Buqi set the tone, "The question now is if we do this, will Apple and Google find out? If they are discovered, will it cause any unnecessary misunderstandings?"

Lu Qi thought slowly and said: "If we only target a few specific products for technical interference, the probability of being discovered is not high..."

Fang Dongbin had already thought about this plan before and after, and immediately said: "This is not technical interference. Helo does not interfere with the normal operation of any other products. Helo only provides users with a better experience during a specific period of time.

Just added some background activities."

Zhou Buqi was very happy and asked with a smile: "How do you say this? Why is it to provide a better experience?"

Fang Dongbin said: "For example, it is like continuously scanning the photo library in the background. This is a process of temporarily increasing the cache. Mobile phones are no better than computers, and their performance is very poor, so we must rely on caching technology. A very important function of Helo is to send pictures to friends.

.However, if

Temporarily searching for pictures from the picture library, this process is very slow and will get stuck. If you scan the photo library many times in advance and cache the photos in advance, when the user sends the picture again, you can directly

If it is retrieved from the cache, it will be faster and smoother."

Everyone present knows that the big boss does not understand technology, so he has to explain it in detail.

Zhou Buqi really understood.

Caching technology!

It's just like opening a web page on your computer.

When you open a website for the first time, because there is no cache of the website on your computer, the opening speed will be slower. If you open it for the second time, there will be a cache file of the website in the system, and you can quickly open the website and experience it.

Even better.

But there is also a disadvantage.

If there are too many caches and the memory is filled up, the computer will run slowly.

One of the most popular functions in Micropoint Security Guard is to clear cache junk. Clear cache and free up memory space, and your computer will run faster.
