The next day, Zhou Buqi went to the company. Before he could settle down, as soon as he showed his head, someone saw him, and then he rushed over in a hurry.

That's often the case.

When he is not in the company, if someone wants to find him, they have to send him an email or use WeChat to communicate. Most of the time, no one can be found.

Moreover, everyone knows that the big boss is very busy, and they are embarrassed to disturb him with some "little things" when he is on a business trip.

Generally, only core executives such as Zhang Yiming, Guo Pengfei, and He Yang would contact him directly.

It's different when you come to the company.

I wish I could rush up and say a few words to anyone who comes by.

Many times when something happens, the people below are arguing and arguing, and no results can be achieved for half a month, which is a waste of human and financial resources. If the report is reported to the big boss, a clear response can often be given within a few minutes.

If you do it, do it, if you don’t do it, don’t do it, simply and neatly.

This is the advantage of having an authoritative person in the company to act as a dictator. The administrative efficiency is very high. Of course, the premise is that the authoritative person has a high enough level. If the business ability is too low and the strategic vision is too poor, he will become arbitrary and willful.

, there are only negative effects.

Zhou Buqi had already scolded him a hundred and eighty times in his heart, but his face still felt like spring breeze, "Okay, I'll learn from you and gain some experience."

Zhou Buqi simply said a few words of encouragement and then got to the point. At first he was full of confidence.

Who was wrong?

Sun Wanran was nearby and warned him unhappily.

It's normal, and most people wouldn't call him "Lao Zhou" carelessly.

Generally in small-scale Bench tests, all working sets are in memory, and sometimes this is not visible.

Before Ni Qiang joined Ziweixing, the person in charge of Ziweixing’s database business was Dr. Yang Zhenkun, who successfully led the team to develop the domestically developed Feitian database.

"Johnny, the boss has something else to do!"

By the way, this man's name is Johnny!

Ni Qiang laughed, "No, that's all true. However, Feitian Database is indeed distributed data, with many advantages such as high scalability, high performance, high availability, and low cost. But there is an unavoidable shortcoming, which is that the industry

This is a big trend, and this is a hurdle that all similar self-developed products cannot get around."

Boss Zhou is different. Although everyone knows that he does not understand technology, his vision is so good and his judgment of direction is so correct. Many people hope that he can be more arbitrary, so that the company's operations will be more efficient and more efficient.

Smooth.

Zhou Buqi felt ashamed and felt that he was a little irresponsible. He couldn't even name such an important person in the company. He was so incompetent at his job. He smiled and waved to him, "I'm here! What are your orders?"

"

It would be fine if Zhou Buqi understood it, the key point is that he is also a technical layman.

"What's the meaning?"

It was just a very polite greeting, but this guy went straight to the topic and said excitedly: "Yes! Yes! There is really a big problem. Come and analyze it for us."

After fussing all the way, when we arrived at Ziweiyun Building, I felt a little embarrassed when I asked.

What is discussed is a very difficult "long tail delay" problem faced by cloud databases.

"I heard it has been applied?"

Sun Wanran wanted to say something else, but Zhou Buqi waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'll go see what's going on. Maybe I can really help."

During the meeting, the young technical engineers were all excited when they saw the big boss appearing, just like the warm welcome they received when the company invited the starring team of the upcoming blockbuster "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" to visit in the summer.

At that time, Jun Ji-hyun was greatly sought after by these technical men, who rushed to take photos with her.

Dr. Wang Jian has something to do at home, so he will be late at the company.

"Yes, it has been moved to the cloud, but it has not been made public yet. It is only for our internal use."

Ziweiyun database was launched in October last year. It is not stable enough and cannot be sold as a product. It can only be tried out with some of its own products, and then slowly polished, repaired and improved.

Ni Qiang didn't seem to want to disparage Dr. Yang Zhenkun, but Zhou Buqi had already tasted some of it, and he felt as if he had really been deceived.

He is the Ziweixing who returned to China to join at the suggestion of Wang Xiaochuan and Zhang Chaoyang.

The big boss is often away from the company for ten days and a half. It doesn't matter if he is away from work for so many days. How long is it still?

"It's okay, just half an hour!"

Zhou Buqi was stunned.

This is a huge technical issue.

Not to mention a layman like Zhou Buqi, even the top industry experts like Ni Qiang can only say "give it a try", "do it and see the effect", and "group into groups to implement it".

Zhou Buqi looked heavy.

Dr. Zhou Feng is in a meeting and is temporarily busy.

"ah?"

At the end of the meeting, several engineers listed a series of technical problems, and Zhou Buqi couldn't understand any of them... Then Zhou Buqi came back to his senses.

After the meeting, Ni Qiang's secretary came over and informed Dr. Zhou Feng and Dr. Wang Jian that they were ready. Then everyone went upstairs to discuss business matters.

"It's done, but the problem is bigger." Ni Qiang replaced Yang Zhenkun to become the chief scientist in the field of Ziweixing database, so he has a lot of say, "This is self-developed under the leadership of Lao Yang, and there will be a lot of problems in terms of expansion.

Big problem.”

Then, without any explanation, he pulled Zhou Buqi and walked in the direction of Ziweiyun Building.

Zhou Buqi was confused when he heard this, "Isn't that a distributed database? Isn't it said to be very scalable? I remember that this is what Lao Yang told me back then. I was deceived by him?"

This was probably arranged by Ni Qiang to show the difficulty of developing a cloud database in front of him. There were too many problems encountered in the past.

Now, he is the third person in the technical field of Ziweiyun, and he is mainly responsible for the direction of cloud database.

Such a long-tail delay is multiplied by several applications and is very fatal to the user experience. No one is willing to wait for several seconds for each operation.

The reality is the same.

Ni Qiang is very smart, he doesn't believe Assistant Sun's intimidation.

Only then did Zhou Buqi suddenly remember.

At this time, someone called him.

But after the actual operation, once the traffic is large and the memory buffer does not hit the access storage, the delay will immediately soar from tens of microseconds to tens of milliseconds.

Very easy to remember.

"Lao Zhou! Lao Zhou!"

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Then you are being humble. You have led this business before at Sun."

Ni Qiang sighed and said: "The application of database is relatively simple and can be learned by undergraduates. However, the bottom layer of database is a high-tech industry, and what is most needed is talent. In universities around the world, including the field of database, there are mainly two

Directions, one is Oracle database, and the other is Sun's MySQL. If you study Oracle in depth, your career choice in the future will only be oriented towards

Oracle. But if the research direction is MySQL, then the career choice will be huge. MySQL is the most popular open source database in the world. Not only Microsoft's database adopts the MySQL framework, including Amazon, Google, Facebook and other giants are abandoning the expensive Oracle

After installing the database, we also use the underlying framework of MySQL to develop our own database."

"Talent, business can be expanded, but talent cannot be expanded. Different databases have different theoretical frameworks and grammatical logic. It is easy to swallow them all, but if you want to delve into the bottom layer of any database, you need to focus on it for a long time.

Just like me, I have been focusing on Sun's open source MySQL field for more than ten years, and I can barely be considered an expert in this field."

Then, this person grabbed his arm and tried to pull him away as if he was being kidnapped.

This is a disagreement. Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Facebook and other Silicon Valley giants with unparalleled technical strength have all chosen open source solutions for database research... However, Ziweixing, which was far inferior to them in terms of technical strength and vision, has

I chose the self-study plan.

"Well, there are a lot of tough questions."

Zhou Buqi asked: "Is it very difficult to develop a cloud database?"

Just like many government websites and bank apps.

But when it came to the actual meeting, I felt completely numb.

What kind of meeting is this?

I don't understand it at all.

Then, Ni Qiang briefly explained the situation.

Yes, even technology giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft use Sun's open source framework when developing their own databases instead of independent research and development. There must be a big cognitive problem here.

Fortunately, Ni Qiang was thick-skinned and said with a smile: "I just happen to have a small meeting here, why don't you come over and listen in? It's a very simple technical discussion. I'm sure you will understand it and give us some advice.

"

After it matures, it will be officially disclosed to the public and turned into a product that can be monetized.

Zhou Buqi turned around and saw that this person was not very familiar to him. He seemed to be a big shot in the technical committee. He looked to be in his thirties. Anyway, he was a very high-level scientist in the company.

Because his English name is "Johnny" and his Chinese name is "Ni Qiang". In fact, he is Ni Qiang, a very influential technical boss in the company. He returned from studying in the United States. He studied for his undergraduate degree at Tsinghua University and his master's and doctorate degrees at Stanford.

I used to work at Sun Microsystems for 3 years. I was a student one year younger than Wang Xiaochuan. During my undergraduate period, like many Tsinghua computer students, I got the opportunity to work part-time at Sohu.

Ni Qiang shook his head, "This is different. The cloud database must be hosted in the cloud, and the direction is not unified."

Zhou Buqi asked: "Didn't Lao Yang lead a team to develop a database before? Feitian Database, how awesome is it? It even won a national award."

Zhou Buqi was puzzled, "Isn't the Feitian database already on the cloud?"

After the Feitian database developed by Yang Zhenkun was put online, it caused a stir in the industry. It was tried on a small scale internally and the results were very good.

It also won the national science and technology award, claiming to have broken the technological blockade imposed by Western powers on my country's database field. At that time, Boss Zhou was particularly embarrassed.

But in recent years, it has obviously lost momentum.

Not only that, Ziweixing’s technical committee also hired Ni Qiang from Silicon Valley to replace Yang Zhenkun and become the chief scientist in the database field of Ziweixing.
Chapter completed!
