Global monopoly of technology

"Mr. Luo, it's too expensive. The 12306 ticketing system can't afford such expenses." Vice President Liu shook his head again and again. He couldn't help thinking about 1 billion in his mind again, and he felt a stomachache.

The key is 1 billion a year.

Luo Sheng smiled inwardly, Boss Tie has no money?He immediately put away an easy-going smile and said: "In Business Talks, Mr. Liu, good products are not cheap. Nebulas is by far the best cloud computing service solution in the world. There is no high or low price for this offer. All large corporate customers are on this horizontal line."

Vice President Liu was speechless for a while, but this is not the case. Vice President Liu came with the task this time, so he also patiently bargained with Luo Sheng.

After talking for a long time, Luo Sheng finally said, "Liu, vice president, the hardware package is provided by our company for free. It will cost at least 400 million yuan, including the Oracle database, etc., in total, this optimization upgrade We also have to pay 600 million yuan for the expenditure, but we have to sign a five-year contract with us for 12306."

Vice President Liu added: "Signed for 10 years, right?"

Luo Sheng shook his head and decisively rejected the agreement. He thought it was a three-year contract, because the more time went by, the more loss, the reason is very simple, the inflation is inflating, and the money will become less and less valuable. With this customer order, the maintenance cost in the future will definitely increase over time, because the number of ticket buyers will become larger and larger, and the number of visitors will become more and more hungry.

If you sign for ten years in one go, it is equivalent to being locked up for ten years. It means that you can only generate 10 billion yuan in revenue within ten years. However, the cost expenditure includes the subsequent optimization and upgrading of the software and hardware systems. These expenditures have to be paid by themselves. Inflation is a big rate.

The five-year signing is the biggest concession Luo Sheng can tolerate. After five years, the contract will be renewed and the price will definitely increase.

In the end, the two-hour interview ended, and the two sides reached a preliminary consensus, and only the contract was left.

Signed for five years.

1 billion a year.

Bluestar Technology provides a complete set of solutions to get the 12306 ticketing system, and Nebulas provides technical support.

Three days later, the signing ceremony was officially held and a media conference was held.

...

Alibaba headquarters, the cloud service business group is having a meeting, and President Ma is also present.

All the managers attending the meeting were speechless, and the expressions of everyone showed a sense of helplessness. On the large conference screen hung on the wall, a cover photo was fixed. It was the National Railway Group and A public photo taken by Bluestar Technology Group at the media conference of the signing ceremony.

The news has spread in the industry, and of course it has also spread to Ali.

After a while, the big screen in the meeting room began to play a video recorded by the media.

Lu Qi, who hosted the media conference in the video, said: "Every Spring Festival, thousands of migrant workers in our country return from the city to their hometowns. They have to buy train tickets when they return home. I told the engineers of Nebulas Systems to support them. Because I don’t want to see that the migrant worker brothers can’t buy train tickets. This is not for money, but because those brothers don’t have to wait to buy tickets on a snowy night. They only need to use the APP on the computer or even a smart phone to purchase the train tickets smoothly. A ticket from the township..."

...

Obviously, 12306 finally gave up the free technical support of Alibaba Cloud, and turned to the embrace of Bluestar Technology, and paid 1 billion yuan a year for the Nebulas Star-Cloud solution.

Judging from the silent and silent emotions of all Alibaba executives, this news is...very morale-damaging for the Alibaba Cloud business group.

In any case, the current Alibaba Cloud in the mainland market is second only to Bluestar Technology Nebula Star-Cloud, and as a result, you are disgusted with providing free technical support.

No one wants free...

Mr. Ma, who doesn't understand technology, also felt the atmosphere of the team.

This is not okay. After a while, Yun Danfeng, who was smiling, said softly: "Alibaba Cloud is not wrong to lose to Nebula. If I don't lose, it will scare me."

As soon as President Ma said this, everyone at the meeting couldn't help but smile, just a little bit of a strong smile.

"The technological progress of the Alibaba Cloud team is obvious to all. Now we are a little brother, but the future is not necessarily. Let's say that 12306 is a customer. If we can provide solutions in five years, we may not be able to compete with Bluestar Technology. Why? Because Bluestar technology is good, but it is also expensive to sell, 1 billion a year, then we will quote 500 million.” Mr. Ma said, encouraging the technical team.

Mr. Ma doesn't understand technology, but he knows a cruel fact in his heart. You can reduce prices, but Bluestar Technology can also reduce prices. In the end, you still can't compete with others.

Technology is king.

But such remarks must not be said when the Alibaba Cloud team is depressed.

Mr. Ma is also a eloquent boss. In the next few words, he gave the Alibaba Cloud team a lot of encouragement and injected the team with a persistent and conviction that has been defeated and defeated.

The loss of 12306, a major customer this time, is also a stimulus for Alibaba Cloud. At the same time, seeing that Nebulas Star-Cloud has earned 1 billion in revenue from a single large enterprise customer in a year, Mr. Ma is also more convinced of cloud computing. The future of China is boundless, and it is also boundless.

...

Alimao made up for the lesson, and the 12306 ticketing system announced that it has received technical support from Bluestar Technology Cloud. The news was also announced as soon as possible, and the majority of online ticket buyers are also looking forward to it.

After all, the "Bluestar Technology" brand effect and the name Luo Sheng are synonymous with high-tech in the eyes of many people.

Many netizens saw the news and thought that 12306 might be rescued. Consumers were still very tolerant. Although 12306 was sprayed badly when it went online, they also knew that it was the first trial operation and it should not be too demanding. Working hard.

But not everyone is like this. Some netizens still don't buy it. The reason is: I knew that Alibaba Cloud would not work. Why didn't you choose Nebulas' technical support earlier?

Some netizens also came out to refute: why not eat meat.

The Bluestar Technology Group's solution is indeed very powerful. Although the railway group does not lack this money, no one's money is brought by the wind. The annual cost of 1 billion is definitely not a cheap figure. , If the 12306 website is not backed by the National Railway Group, it simply cannot afford this price.

...

Day by day, Bluestar Technology’s work efficiency is not at all muddle-headed. After the contract is signed, it immediately begins to provide customers with a basic service, dispatches a technical team, and completes the optimization of the 12306 website in just one week. Upgrade, complete the database transfer and Nebulas Star-Cloud technical support.

Finally, at 9 o'clock in the morning on February 6, the 12306 system that has undergone technical transformation was put into trial operation again. This time, Bluestar Technology provided it with comprehensive technical escort.

There is still a week before the Spring Festival, and many people still have not bought tickets. 12306 is open for operation again, and the number of visits on that day is soaring in units of 100 million.

Because three days ago, on February 3, it was announced that the 12306 website will open online ticket sales again, and it is an vowed guarantee that it will be open on time and on time. This is the result of the guarantee of Bluestar Technology.

Dare to give the time point so accurately, the guarantee 12306 of a technology company without hard power dare not make this mouth, and Bluestar Technology not only dares, but also did it.

Today, the engineers of the 12306 website monitored the audience in the background and were pleasantly surprised to find that the 12306 ticketing system supported by the Nebulas Star-Cloud technology was facing such a terrifying traffic, not only did not appear the screen of the crash, but the entire background data displayed the whole process As stable as an old dog.

Even if it is online for the first time, there is no doubt that 12306 is definitely the world's largest instant ticket transaction system.

On February 6, 12306 sold 10.753 million tickets, and the number of tickets sold per second during peak hours reached a terrifying 700. The number of web page views on peak days exceeded 80 billion, which is equivalent to everyone in the country visiting ticketing every day. Page 61 times.

The 12306 ran smoothly throughout the whole process without any downtime or crash. Users only need to get the ticket in seconds and complete the transaction within three minutes. It will not be the same as before, and the ticket can not be paid.

The industry was shocked again.

Bluestar Technology has proved that the world's top technology in the industry is by no means a false name. It also makes the National Railway Group quite satisfied. Although a lot of money has been spent, it is excellent value for money.

Alibaba Cloud is a bit miserable, and other clouds will not be able to get on the stage.

As the saying goes, there is no harm if there is no comparison. Netizens who eat melon are talking about Alibaba Cloud crazy, and Alibaba Cloud is inevitably labeled "junk". Nebulas 12306 is as stable as an old dog.

In fact, Alibaba Cloud’s technology is also pretty good. It’s just that ordinary netizens who eat melon do not delve into the higher-level technical background here, but simply judge from experience. Anyway, when Alibaba Cloud provided technical support before, the 12306 website The experience and the first impression are so bad that people are speechless, and the nebula immediately undergoes earth-shaking changes.

It is no exaggeration to say that the 12306 website has been the best e-commerce website in the country and even the world once it debuted, but 12306 is an e-commerce website that only sells train tickets.

It can make hundreds of millions of people stare at the website frantically and constantly refresh it every day, just to spend the money, and even to spend the money, not hesitate to spend money to buy software brushes, except for 12306, basically no one, what to pay for , Tmall, Jingdong, Amazon direct spike.
