Reborn multinational giant

After the head of the Ministry of Railways finished speaking, he began to invite experts and business representatives present to speak.

Experts and representatives have a word for me. They have put forward their own suggestions in terms of system architecture, ticket purchase process, traffic load and other aspects. Compared with the theoretical skills of technical experts, each The representatives of Internet companies who attended the meeting were well prepared.

After it was the turn of Alibaba Cloud representative Wang Jian to speak, he winked at his assistant. Then, his assistant stood up and handed out a document to the experts and representatives attending the meeting. At the same time, Wang Jian also spoke:

"Since our establishment in 1999, Alibaba has accumulated rich experience in the field of e-commerce shopping.

Since its establishment in 2009, the Alibaba Cloud Computing Department has fully carried all Alibaba’s e-commerce business. It can be said that in a complete set of cloud e-commerce systems such as cloud shopping, cloud payment, and financial data security, we, Alibaba Cloud, are absolutely The best done.

Some time ago, our Alibaba’s Taobao and Taobao Mall held a double eleven discount event together. The total turnover of the day exceeded 7 billion. At its peak, Alibaba Cloud had to process more than 60,000 orders per second and more than 30,000 transaction!

In other words, with our Alibaba Cloud's technical strength, we can process 3.6 million orders and 1.8 million transactions in one minute, even if more than 10 million people flooded into the 12306 website to buy tickets in one day. For our Alibaba Cloud , It is only a matter of minutes.

The document in front of you now is a set of solutions tailored specifically for 12306 by our Alibaba Cloud and the Alibaba E-commerce Technical Committee. I believe that if this solution is adopted, the 12306 website will never be paralyzed. problem!"

I don’t know why, after Wang Jian said this, he was a little more confident in his heart, and vaguely, he seemed to have found a way to save Alibaba Cloud's future survival, that is, to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses and specialize in the cloud e-commerce market!

After Wang Jian finished his speech, the experts and representatives present here asked Wang Jian about some of the doubts and questions in the document given by Wang Jian. Wang Jian also responded with great answers one by one, which attracted the experts and leaders of the Ministry of Railways present. We nodded frequently.

Wang Jian couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw this. God knows that in order to draft and formulate this solution, he hasn't closed his eyes for more than ten days in a row, and now he is finally paying off!

The excellent performances of Wang Jian and Alibaba Cloud caused a slight change in the faces of representatives of several Internet companies such as Tencent and Baidu. They all felt that their own solutions were not very competitive in the face of this situation. Those who noticed this situation While Wang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, he gradually felt a little bit of victory in his heart.

Until, he deliberately leaned forward and turned his head to see the calm face of Huizhong representative Li Wenbin, who was two people away from him, and Wang Jian suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart!

"Okay, then we have a representative from Huizhong to speak!" After the host finished speaking, the eyes of the audience focused on Li Wenbin, who had been reticent before.

Whether it was the discussions of the experts just now or when the representatives proposed solutions, Li Wenbin rarely spoke. This made many people present think that Huizhong’s representative this time was probably just for soy sauce. After all, the railway The face of the Ministry must be given!

Sure enough, when the experts glanced at the assistant next to Li Wenbin, he didn't even mention a stack of documents in his hand, he didn't even have a single document, until the assistant stood up and asked at Li Wenbin's sign:

"I wonder if it is not convenient to connect the projector with a USB flash drive?"

Everyone suddenly realized that this guy brought a USB flash drive. However, many people think that Huizhong’s method of doing things is really reckless and careless. After all, the Ministry of Railways is an administrative department. It is impossible to use an external USB flash drive casually, even The previous representatives of Alibaba Cloud and others who proposed solutions only used paper documents.

Only Li Wenbin and the accompanying assistant knew that they not only prepared a USB flash drive, but also prepared paper documents, but in comparison, using a USB flash drive to introduce technical solutions would have a better effect!

After obtaining the approval of the person in charge of the Ministry of Railways, Li Wenbin's assistant connected the U disk to the projector in the conference room and opened the PPT file representing his own solution.

A tender is a PPT speech competition. This is Li Wenbin’s naive idea when he just graduated more than 20 years ago. Now he understands better that the bidding company must have sufficient strength and second Pain points for mid-projects and tenderers!

In Li Wenbin's view, several companies present, including Alibaba Cloud, who proposed solutions, and even many experts, revealed a few core points.

Li Wenbin stood up, walked specifically to the projection screen, and began to explain the contents of the PPT plan to the experts and representatives present. The system architecture, traffic load, and elastic calculation, although the issues involved in the first few pages of the PPT are critical, but basic They are all within the scope of the discussion of experts and representatives, so there is nothing too brilliant.

Seeing this, Wang Jian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If this is the case, Alibaba Cloud still has a great chance of winning compared to Huizhong Cloud. After all, Alibaba Cloud's experience in the field of e-commerce shopping is far from what Huizhong can compare. !

"The next thing I want to talk about is the problem of traffic carrying, or the explosion of traffic. The scope of our previous discussions is limited to the normal operation and ticket purchase behavior of ordinary users on 12306, but everyone has ignored it. The important point is the ticket-grabbing software!

Previously, because the online time of the 12306 website was still short, most of the users were real ordinary users. Very few users purchased tickets through other websites. However, after the ticket-grabbing experience during New Year's Day and Spring Festival, many users I found that I couldn't get a ticket on 12306 at all, and I couldn't even enter the website.

Under this circumstance, a number of ticket-purchasing websites and ticket-grabbing software will inevitably be promoted. You may think that even if there is, this is only a small part of the traffic, but in fact, let's look at a case next."

The PPT switched to the next page, and the whole audience was attracted by Li Wenbin:

"This is a screenshot of a simple ticket-grabbing software written by our internal technical team in Huizhong. The principle is very simple. It uses the account and password saved by the user on the ticket-grabbing software and the train ticket they want to grab. The information directly requests the 12306 server, and the entire process from login to ticket checking and order submission is automatically completed by the ticket-grabbing software.

Even if the user pays the ticket in advance on this software, we can help him go through the payment process directly. If the ticket grab is unsuccessful, we will refund the money from the original account!

I would like to ask everyone to guess, what is the success rate of this ticket-grabbing software?"

Li Wenbin’s question aroused the interest of experts and business representatives present, and everyone answered: "50%? 60%? 80%?"

Even Wang Jian, who is unwilling to talk to Li Wenbin because of competition, can't help but mutter in his heart: "How high is the success rate, can it be 100%?"

Li Wenbin showed a confident smile on his face, then he stretched out his index finger and gave the audience a shocked but unbelievable number: "100%!"
