Although he went to Yang Mi's place, Zhou Buqi was still immersed in work.

Tang Binchen's words gave him a lot of inspiration.

Why did Renren and Kaixin.com fail? Why is Facebook on the other side of the ocean becoming more and more successful? They are all the same type of websites, so why can’t they work in China?

In the past, Zhoubuqi had been looking for gaps at the application level.

Now I understand that the technical aspect cannot be ignored.

At present, Friends.com is better than Facebook, with more functions, better experience, and stronger earning power. However, Friends.com is only a flowery appearance on the outside, and it is virtual on the inside, and the technical exploration is far from enough.

Facebook's development is from the inside out. It makes technical reserves internally, conducts a lot of technical exploration, and then slowly transforms it to the application layer.

If it is not improved, Friends Network will be weak and Facebook will only gain momentum.

Tang Binchen only went to Facebook as an intern for a period of time. He was not a senior executive and only worked in the R&D department. The information he had must be incomplete. He knew that Facebook was working on eight technical projects, which might just be the tip of the iceberg.

The network of friends is still empty...

"I'm so weak!"

Zhou Buqi sighed and planned to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

Yang Mi got out of bed, followed behind her, and said softly: "Mr. Zhou, you are not weak! You are not weak at all!"

This is a very ordinary two-bedroom apartment. The bathroom is outside the bedroom. The naked buttocks of the two people are inevitably visible to Ning Yaxian who is waiting in the living room. Especially when she heard Miss Yang's words, she almost burst out laughing.

After taking a shower and getting dressed, Yang Mi said carefully: "Mr. Zhou, this bed... seems to be of poor quality. It creaks and creaks. I'm afraid it will fall apart. How about replacing it?"

Zhou Buqi said casually, "Well, just ask Secretary Ning for reimbursement after changing."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou!"

"By the way, you already have a house, do your parents know?"

"I didn't tell them." Yang Mi was a little embarrassed, bit her lip, and whispered: "My mother said that when I graduate from college, I will be financially independent, and all the salary will be mine."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Then don't run over here if you have nothing to do. Give Secretary Ning a set of keys. When she's free, she'll arrange for someone to help you clean."

Then, Ning Yaxian took the key and left with Boss Zhou.

After getting on the bus, Zhou Buqi said to the driver: "Brother Luo, are you a scout?"

"right."

"Will you check the camera?"

"sure."

Zhou Buqi glanced at Ning Yaxian next to him and said, "If you come here later, let Brother Luo check it first."

Ning Yaxian couldn't laugh or cry, "Isn't that true?"

Zhou Buqi hummed: "Be careful when sailing the ten-thousand-year-old ship!"

Ning Yaxian pursed her lips and looked playfully, "What about me? Do I need to be checked too?"

Zhou Buqi said calmly: "If it were your sister, I wouldn't be too worried."

"She is going home and won't be here after the new year."

"ah?"

Ning Yaxian said: "She came here temporarily to help me take care of the children. She can't always be here, right? Her work relationship and friends are all in her hometown. It's not interesting to be alone in the capital."

Zhou Buqi said meaningfully: "One person can become two people."

Ning Yaxian collapsed and said: "Big boss, please let us both go!"

Zhou Buqi snorted, "As if I am willing to praise you two sisters, love will come or not!"

…

Tang Binchen did not take any leave and came to work the next day.

Zhou Buqi organized Xu Liangjie, Cheng Binghao, Zhang Yiming, Guo Pengfei, He Yang, Wang Haoyang, Guo Pengfei, Wang Xing, and even specially called Yang Zhenkun from the R&D center.

Yang Zhenkun is nominally the chief architect of Ziweixing. In fact, he never participates in the company's strategic design and operations. He focuses solely on developing his own distributed database.

This time I came here mainly because the topic discussed was very important.

As the times advance, there is more and more information, and data is growing exponentially. It can be said that in the future IT field, all functional implementations are inseparable from distributed design.

Yang Zhenkun patted his chest and promised, "This May, our distributed algorithm will be launched. Then, we can carry out more expanded algorithm research on distributed algorithms. We can do what Facebook can do!"

"

Xu Liangjie has never been optimistic about his project, and said calmly: "Distributed database has not become mainstream. Even if it is made, it is still a question whether it can be applied. Even if it is applied, it cannot be directly used in important businesses such as Friends Network. I think,

We should proceed in two steps."

Cheng Binghao also holds the same opinion, "Yes, on the one hand, we should do research on distributed databases and consider the future. On the other hand, we should learn from Facebook, adopt a multi-database architecture, and develop our data distribution system and multiple storage systems. In case of distribution

If the database is not completed, at least we will not be lame."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yiming, Guo Pengfei and Wang Xing also held the same view.

Yang Zhenkun was embarrassed and helpless.

It feels like except for the layman like the big boss, the technical bosses in the company are full of doubts about themselves.

Zhou Buqi frowned, "Binchen, what do you think?"

Tang Binchen was silent for a while and said: "Facebook's database model is a common practice among Silicon Valley giants, represented by Google, including Microsoft and Amazon. This model is safe and can be used. Distributed

The concept of the database is of course very good, but no one can tell what the specific application effect will be."

The meaning is very clear.

The technology giants in Silicon Valley have been ahead of others and have taken a safe route. We just have to learn to follow it. If we have to forcefully promote distributed databases... In theory, of course it is feasible, but in the implementation process, it must be

It is extremely difficult and dangerous.

We cannot use a project as important as Friends Network as a guinea pig to conduct experiments on distributed databases.

Zhang Yiming said: "The direction of distributed databases is in the right direction, but the technical difficulty is not small. What's more important is that our engineers have no experience in using this type of database. If they suddenly start using it, problems will definitely occur. So when applying it, it is still

We need to start with small projects, on the one hand, improve and optimize the database, and on the other hand, train our own database engineers. When everything is mature, we can then enter the core business."

Zhou Buqi couldn't help but sigh.

The entire set of Internet standards was established by Silicon Valley. Now that he wants to build a distributed database and develop a new gadget that is not available in Silicon Valley, he must be facing great resistance.

Everything needs to be explored and researched by oneself.

It is easy to imitate, but difficult to be original.

More importantly, excellent technical talents are all big treasures. They like to use traditional databases such as Oracle. If they are forced to change, they may leave their jobs.

As an Oracle engineer, if you change jobs, you will still be an Oracle engineer. If you change to a Feitian Database engineer, it will be troublesome to change jobs. You will have to go back and learn Oracle again. No one likes this process.

The entire IT industry has standards set by Silicon Valley, from university textbooks, to computer application environments, to workplaces. If you want to challenge this standard, the process is difficult.

When he first entered the industry, Zhou Buqi was very ambitious and felt that he could do anything after being reborn. But now that his career has achieved great success, the blind pride of being a reborn person is gone.

Even if a distributed database is successfully implemented, it will still be extremely difficult to promote it in the future.

However, you must persevere and work hard!

Zhou Buqi took a deep breath and said, "That's it. Let's see if there are any suitable projects at Facebook. Let's hurry up and do it... Well, can we just buy it directly?"

"Okay... okay."

Xu Liangjie was also a little unsure about eating.

Wang Xing snorted coldly and said loudly: "In my opinion, our technology industry must be developed in three steps. The first step is, as the boss just said, go to Silicon Valley to buy technical services. It is best to go directly

Get the code. We are shareholders of Facebook and have experience in cooperation. It is absolutely fine.

Purchase. The second step, as Tang Binchen said, we set up a secret 'X group' to poach people from the scientific research teams of large companies in Silicon Valley and put the hope of new technologies and new horizons in them. The third step,

Increase the strength of the technical research and development team. We need external strength, but we also need internal strength."

Xu Liangjie frowned and said: "Last year, we were able to reach technical cooperation with Facebook because they were still very weak. Now Facebook has begun a globalization strategy, and the Chinese market is indispensable. From this perspective, it is competition with Friends.

Opponent, if you want to get the core code... I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Wang Xing said: "So we have to take three steps and cooperate with each other! Buy part of it, recruit talents to go back to China to study part, and self-research part. That's enough."

Zhou Buqi couldn't help but ask: "What is the level of our self-research? If we don't buy or steal, we can't make it out?"

Cheng Binghao said: "The Internet is different from other industries in that it is relatively open. Large companies in Silicon Valley will open source core technologies from time to time to promote the progress of the global IT industry. We hold regular meetings every Wednesday morning to read and study the latest English materials.

, grasp the latest technology trends and directions. We can learn and do it slowly, but we can also make it. But it takes a lot of time. The technology that Silicon Valley can make in 3 months may take us 12 months."

Zhou Buqi understood now.

Just like distributed algorithms, they can be considered early layout. Facebook entered the market late. As a result, they have applied their distributed algorithms and started research on related supporting scalable systems through distributed technology, such as distributed caching systems.

…

Ziweixing is very far away.

He Yang coughed lightly and reassured: "The objective reality exists, but we don't have to underestimate ourselves. Compared with the Silicon Valley giants, we may have some gaps, but in China, we are number one!"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "This is true. Do you all know about Baidu's pyramid scheme? Li Yanhong is ambitious and wants to spend 500 million. This big project is a big data processing system under a distributed framework. In May, our
Chapter completed!
