Reborn multinational giant

Chapter 221 Cloud Computing R&D Team

The so-called knowing oneself and the enemy will never end in a hundred battles!

Whatsapp was launched three months earlier in the previous life, and Fang Zhe’s heart was awakened. When he came to this world, under the butterfly effect, many things would change accordingly. If he only relied on the memory of the future If you arrange and deploy Huizhong's future development, you may encounter things beyond your expectations and control like this time.

This time, if Fang Zhe hadn't arranged for someone to stare at the newly launched products of mobile chat software in advance, and discovered it on WhatsApp as soon as it was launched, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Including Apple appstore, Androidmarket, and various app stores around the world, there are countless types of applications on the shelves every day, and it is basically impossible to find out only by human supervision.

Therefore, Fang Zhe remembered the data statistical analysis platform of various data of professional statistical mobile applications in the past. These platforms operate through script programs, data model estimation and other methods, and can basically detect the shelves, updates, and channels of most applications on the entire network. Various data information such as downloads, ranking changes, various products competing, income information and so on.

If the application is connected to the third-party SDK of these platforms, that is, the software development kit, the platform can also get the installed platform of these applications, such as the daily activity, the number of daily launches, and the retention of extremely important application data for seven days.

In the game industry, many mobile game developers who save trouble will choose to access the SDK of this type of platform. In this way, developers will save tedious data statistics tools and directly use third-party platforms to obtain various data about their games. It’s easier, but a lot of data is also exposed to third-party platforms.

The same is true for application development. Except for some extremely private or important application software or large companies that may develop their own independent statistical tools, many small and medium-sized companies and individual developers will basically choose third-party free and convenient statistical tools. Third-party statistical platforms have also used these many application data to become active behind-the-scenes monitors of the entire mobile Internet industry.

Now Fang Zhe is planning this project team, hoping that his own application data statistical analysis platform can become Huizhong's clairvoyance and smooth ears, so that Fang Zhe and Huizhong can grasp the development and changes of the global mobile Internet in real time!

When the project team was formally established, it was already in mid-July. At this time, the Huizhong employees of the cloud computing data center research team and the cloud computing experts hired who went abroad to investigate for nearly a month have also returned!

The return of the research team brought two good news to Fang Zhe. The reason why they are two is because the research team not only found three traditional IDC data centers suitable for transformation into cloud computing data centers, but also helped Huihui The crowd, dug a technical team that develops cloud computing.

This team was originally a cloud computing start-up company in Silicon Valley, USA. The technical backbones all came from Amazon, which was the first to establish a cloud computing system in the world. However, although the talents of this team are skilled in technology, their entrepreneurial ability and business acumen are a little off.

Their team came out to start a business for more than half a year. Except for the angel round to get 500,000 U.S. dollars, no more money was raised. Silicon Valley investors do not believe that an ordinary startup company can compete with Amazon and IBM in the field of cloud computing. The giants contend.

If a small amount of millions of dollars is worth a small amount of money, investors may still be interested, but for projects like cloud computing that easily invest tens of millions of dollars, few venture capitalists dare to invest in such a startup company that has no gross.

In frustration, this team was on the verge of disbanding and everyone was looking for a new job. When the Huizhong research team knew about the incident and reported it to Fang Zhe, Fang Zhe immediately decided to take their entire company with the team and bought it!

According to the estimation and analysis of the relevant experts of the research team, the three IDC data centers located in the United States, Canada and Iceland are all purchased and converted into cloud computing data centers at a price of 35 million U.S. dollars, 40 million U.S. dollars, and 2600. Ten thousand dollars.

Buying three together, Huizhong’s current financial resources must be tight, so after discussion and discussion by Huizhong’s senior executives, two of them were purchased. Among them, the IDC data center located in the United States was 35 million US dollars. The seller asked for cash payment. It is not in arrears, so this Huizhong can only pay directly in cash. Another IDC data center in Iceland is paid in installments within one year in the form of a contract of 10 million, 5 million, and 11 million in three installments. This will also relieve Huizhong’s financial pressure and spend more money to develop its business.

Although the overseas cloud computing data center has been completed, the domestic research team that has been resting for a period of time continues to research and investigate all parts of the country, and Fang Zhe, the big boss, personally visited the Google Chinese Academy of Engineering that he was familiar with. Deputy Dean Lin Xiaobin.

He came to Lin Xiaobin for the purpose of digging for cloud computing talents. The R&D team of the cloud computing R&D company he bought abroad was at best to help Huizhong build a cloud computing product line overseas. But in China, I’m afraid it’s not enough. Regardless of whether it is Amazon Cloud, IBM Cloud or Microsoft Cloud, the domestic cloud computing market share is poor. There are two major reasons. One is that there is a giant Alibaba Cloud in China, and the other is because of the water and soil. Not satisfied!

For domestic developers, the cloud service products provided by Alibaba Cloud in China have too many advantages over the cloud service products that have entered China from abroad. In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of these overseas giants, Fang Zhe It was decided to also set up a cloud computing R&D team in China. The two R&D teams at home and abroad complement each other and give full play to their respective strengths. What about Huizhong’s cloud computing business should also make some noise!

Fang Zhe picked up some fruits for a weekend and went to visit Lin Xiaobin's house. Unsurprisingly, Mr. Lei was also there. According to Lin's ridicule, the two of them were about to stick together!

In addition, the Lin’s family has another guest. This guest is wearing blue T-shirts and black-rimmed glasses. He does not look very old, but his hair is black and white, and his head is less white. It's not uncommon in the Internet industry, who let this industry destroy people like this!

After Lin Xiaobin’s introduction, Fang Zhe knew his identity. He turned out to be the younger brother and former colleague of Dr. Zhou Guangping, one of Xiaomi’s future veterans. Like Dr. Zhou Guangping, he spent several years in Motorola’s core R&D team. Later, a copycat mobile phone company in southern China was hired to become a technical R&D director with a high salary.

His name is Li Zhipeng. Originally, President Lei founded Xiaomi and planned to dig him in to lead the technical team. However, with a more skilled postdoctoral fellow Zhou Guangping, he chose the latter. Li Zhipeng came over today and was influenced by Zhou Guangping. Invitation to discuss technical issues.

Although Zhou Guangping’s skills are awesome, it’s different from Li Zhipeng’s main attack direction. The two of them have a good relationship in private, so they often discuss any problems together. At this moment, Zhou Guangping hasn’t come yet, but he talked with Lei Zong and Lin Xiaobin. Very hi, Fang Zhe is one of Xiaomi’s founding members after all, so the three of them do not shy away from Fang Zhe.
