To Ziweixing, Damai.com is just an inconspicuous small website. If Zhou Buqi stood up and said a word, the other party would not even have room to refute.

There is no way, this is the strength of giants and the cruelty of business.

Even Silicon Valley is the same.

For example, in the previous life, Facebook spent US$1 billion to acquire intasgram. The business case behind this transaction is actually very simple.

Zuckerberg asked his team to develop an almost identical product based on intasgram.

Then, he took this product and went to intasgram's entrepreneurial team with a smile to show it to them. No need to say more, let them choose for themselves.

Choose one of the two.

Or, sell intasgram to Facebook and let everyone join forces to do business together.

Or, Facebook will launch its own products online, make full efforts in the field of picture social networking, and spend money and resources to fight with intasgram.

Then, the intasgram team backed down and sold the company to Facebook.

Douban, owned by Ziweixing, has launched an online ticket purchase business.

If Damai.com doesn't sell and angers Boss Zhou, and Ziweixing spends money and resources to develop Douban's ticketing system, Damai.com will undoubtedly die.

If there is an opportunity to merge, it is of course the best option.

For Zhou Buqi, this is just a small thing.

In comparison, it was not as important as Tang Yixin moving into his apartment. I wanted to meet her and talk to her about the planned three-year cooperation, but suddenly I received a call from the company. Cheng Binghao said that there was

There are very important things to talk to him about.

It was already past 4 p.m., so Zhou Buqi didn't waste any time and hurried back to the company.

After passing there, I found that He Yang was also there, discussing something with Cheng Binghao.

Zhou Buqi pushed the door open and said with a casual smile: "What are you talking about?"

"Oh, here we come." He Yang stood up and greeted him, "As for Gome, the current CIO of Gome is my old subordinate at Lenovo. He led the team to build the internal digital system of Gome."

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, "Gome is also an e-commerce company?"

He Yang said: "No, but he has this intention. It's a pity that Mr. Huang was arrested. Gome must focus on stability now. The transformation from offline to online is not easy."

Zhou Buqi sat down carelessly, glanced at Cheng Binghao's secretary, a mediocre-looking eldest sister in her 40s who was standing at the door, and said with a smile: "Here's a bottle of iced Coke!"

That eldest sister is a little funny.

I feel that this big boss is like his own son, he is indeed a young man.

After sitting down, Zhou Buqi said casually: "Sooner or later, Gome will transform into e-commerce. This is inevitable. Lao Huang was caught, and Gome is falling behind now!"

Cheng Binghao said: "Yes, so Suning's offline competition pressure has become smaller and it is more confident. This is also related to the layout of previous years."

"oh?"

"Five years ago, Gome took the lead, claiming to invest 2.6 billion to change the rules of the home appliance market. It poached Lao Yu, the vice president in charge of information technology from Lenovo...the subordinate that Boss He just mentioned...started internal informatization.

reform. Gome took the route of self-research. Suning was the complete opposite. The investment in self-research was too high and the results were slow. Suning took a shortcut and chose to reach a five-year strategic cooperation with IBM and SAP.

, the total investment is only 300 million."

"5 years..."

Zhou Buqi speculated on this number.

Not good!

5 years ago, Suning reached a cooperation with IBM. The cooperation period is 5 years. It expires this year! Suning has two choices, either renew the contract or not.

It's already October, and it is estimated that both parties have completed the contract renewal.

Cheng Binghao continued: "In the past five years of cooperation, IBM has helped Suning transform enterprise management, process change, IT management and other solutions that can help Suning improve its enterprise management application level. What SAP provides is information-based logistics. System solutions.”

Zhou Buqi understood immediately after hearing this, "This is a B-side business. IBM and SAP are world-class giants. It is right to ask them for help. The cost is indeed less than self-research, and the effect is more significant."

In the field of B-side business, the country is lagging too far behind. In other words, giants such as IBM, Oracle, and SAP are too powerful, and the Fortune 500 are all their customers.

IBM helps Suning transform its internal management system, and SAP helps transform its external logistics system, which can indeed produce very good results. However, these are all B-side businesses.

For example, the logistics system developed by SAP is from the manufacturer to the supplier, and the supplier sends it to the offline store. This is b2b logistics. From the offline store to the consumer.

This is completely different from the C-side business.

For example, JD Logistics delivers directly to consumers, is oriented to individuals, and is b2c. This will be more complicated in terms of computing power, complexity and process details, and traditional IT solutions will not work.

Zhou Buqi understands because he is an Internet expert.

I'm afraid people like Suning don't understand!

Sure enough, the next thing I heard was very bad news from Cheng Binghao, "In the past five years, Suning has had a pleasant cooperation with IBM and SAP. With their help, Suning has far surpassed its main competitor Gome. Get rid of it. Therefore, Suning can leave more energy to do other things, and compete with JD.com, Amazon, and Yixunlai in the online 3C home appliance market. In February this year, Suning.com was officially launched."

Zhou Buqi felt sad, "Suning has signed a contract with them?"

Cheng Binghao sighed and said: "Yes, signed. They use IBM's WCS framework solution. The logistics system is still in cooperation with SAP."

Zhou Buqi actually has no business dealings with Suning.

I only met Mr. Zhang from Suning once, and we simply said hello without even shaking hands.

But even so, Zhou Buqi was very sad.

well!

My boss is late!

It's a pity to see domestic companies being cheated by foreign giants but not being able to stop them in time. If it's a state-owned enterprise, that's it. It's happened several times. He couldn't stop it even if he wanted to. There's no way. But Suning It is a private enterprise. If it intervenes early, it can still help Suning bail out from potential crises.

He Yang asked: "How about this wcs framework you mentioned?"

"Well……"

Cheng Binghao's expression was more complicated.

"What's wrong?"

He Yang doesn't quite understand. His usual work is more about business management, process resolution, personnel relations, organizational structure adjustment, etc., and has nothing to do with technology. In terms of understanding of IT technology, he may not be as good as Zhou Buqi. .After all, he is older, not as young as Zhou Buqi, and he learns things quickly.

Cheng Binghao said: "WCS technology is very backward. The architecture was formed in 1998. More than ten years have passed and there has been no upgrade in the architecture."

He Yang was stunned, "A technical solution from more than ten years ago? Isn't it? No one at Suning understands technology? Is this a state-owned enterprise?"

There is no way, no one would believe this kind of thing.

But reality is so magical.

It's so easy for insiders to bully outsiders.

"It's much more serious than state-owned enterprises. 12306 has had so many problems and has been complained about so seriously, but 12306 is not as exaggerated as Suning." Cheng Binghao then gave a more professional analysis, "The wcs architecture is based on traditional e** and

Strictly coupled webs

pere application server. Simply put, as long as you use the wcs framework, it means that you are tied to IBM. This is a combination of software and hardware. You must purchase all software and hardware products of imb to match it, such as web front-end database, mq, jdk,

unix etc."

He Yang asked: "How does it compare with our on-campus group buying?"

"Ah?" Cheng Binghao was amused, "That's not a product of the same era at all. It spans at least three eras, just like f14 and f22. How can it be compared? Just give an example, the most popular big data now

The processing solution is distributed. In this regard, Ziweixing has the world's most advanced technology. However, Ten

There was no distribution a few years ago. The WCS architecture still used the early e** and MQ technologies, which would cause a lot of additional overhead and waste a lot of computing power and storage space. Even the WCS architecture even separated reading and writing.

None, um... This is very similar to 12306, both are the lowest-end technologies that have been eliminated."

Zhou Buqi was curious about the technical field and asked: "What is the logic of separation of reading and writing?"

Cheng Binghao said: "For example, when you buy an Aster mobile phone on JD.com and open the web page to browse, it is reading. When you place an order to buy, it is writing, and the required data is written into the background database. When reading, if something goes wrong, it will go wrong. At most, it will be

The web page cannot be opened. If an error occurs during the writing process, it will affect the background data. Now JD.com needs to make structural adjustments, part of the reason is that it cannot separate reading and writing."

Zhou Buqi said: "Writing requires more computing power and higher accuracy."

"Yes," Cheng Binghao gave a simple description, "For example, the computing power of a system is 100. If it is a combination of reading and writing, and 90 people are browsing the web, the system's computing power will be exhausted and it will be very stuck.

It is very difficult to place an order to purchase. Reading and writing are separated. Reading is a system.

System and write are a set of systems. Each has 100 computing power. There are 90 people browsing the web page, which takes up reading resources. If someone wants to place an order and buy, they use the write system, so they will not be affected by high traffic.

Without interference, the delicate process of placing orders and trading can be easily completed.”

Zhou Buqi understood it immediately and said decisively: "All online trading platforms must separate reading and writing. Including writable social networking sites such as Friends.com and Weibo, they must also be designed to separate reading and writing.

That’s all.”

"Yes, this is a big trend, but the technical difficulty is very high." Cheng Binghao shook his head, feeling helpless, "Not to mention other types of websites, even online trading platforms, there are only Taobao, Paipai, and Baidu in China.

, Giants such as on-campus group buying, Amazon, and eBay use related technologies such as read-write separation, table splitting, and database clustering.”

"Where's 12306?"

"Ahem..."
