Chapter 221

The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy is invincible in a hundred battles!

WhatsApp went online three months earlier than the previous life, which has awakened Fang Zhe's heart. When he came to this world, many things will change under the butterfly effect. If he only depends on his memory, arrangement and deployment of Huizhong's future development, he may encounter things beyond his expectation and control this time.

This time, if Fang zhe hadn't arranged someone in advance to stare at the new product of mobile chat software and found it just after WhatsApp went online, the consequences would be unimaginable.

There are countless types of applications on the shelves every day, including Apple's app store, Android Market and various app stores rising all over the world. It is basically impossible to find them only by human supervision.

Therefore, Fang zhe thought of the data statistics and analysis platforms for professional statistics of various data of mobile applications in his previous life. These platforms can basically detect the shelves, updates, downloads from various channels, ranking changes, competitive products of various products, revenue information and other data information of most applications in the whole network through script program operation, data model estimation and other methods.

If the application accesses the third-party SDK of these platforms, that is, the software development package, the platform can get extremely important application data such as the installed platform of these applications, daily activity, daily startup times and 7-day retention.

In the game industry, many mobile game developers who want to save trouble will choose to access the SDK of this kind of platform. In this way, developers will save cumbersome data statistics tools and directly obtain various data of their own games with the help of a third-party platform. Although it is easy, a lot of data is also exposed to a third-party platform.

The same is true for application development. In addition to 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 basically choose third-party free and convenient statistical tools, and such third-party statistical platforms also rely on a lot of application data, Become an active behind the scenes supervisor of the whole mobile Internet industry.

Now Fang zhe plans this project team in the hope that his own application data statistics and analysis platform can become the eyes and ears of Huizhong, 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 officially established, it was already in mid July. At this time, the Huizhong employees and cloud computing experts of the cloud computing data center research team who had been abroad for nearly a month came back!

The return of the research team has brought two good news to Fang Zhe. The reason why it is two is that the research team not only found three traditional IDC data centers suitable for transformation into cloud computing data centers overseas, but also helped Huizhong find a technical team for cloud computing research and development.

This team was originally a cloud computing startup company in Silicon Valley. The technical backbone came from Amazon, which first established a cloud computing system in the world. However, although the talents of this team are skilled, their entrepreneurial ability and business mind are a little poor.

Their team came out to start a business for more than half a year. Except for the angel round, they got $500000 and didn't get any money back. Investors in Silicon Valley don't believe that an ordinary start-up company can compete with giants such as Amazon and IBM in the field of cloud computing.

If there are millions of dollars of fuss, maybe investors are interested, but few venture capitalists dare to invest in such a start-up company that often invests tens of millions of dollars in cloud computing.

Frustrated, the team was on the verge of disbanding and everyone was looking for a job again. When the Huizhong research group learned about the matter and reported it to Fang Zhe, Fang zhe immediately decided to take their whole company with the team and buy it!

According to the estimation and analysis of relevant experts of the research team, the prices of all the three IDC data centers located in the United States, Canada and Iceland to buy and transform them into cloud computing data centers are US $35 million, US $40 million and US $26 million respectively.

The three are bought together, and Huizhong's current financial resources must be tight. Therefore, after the discussion of Huizhong's senior management, they bought two of them, including the IDC data center located in the United States with us $35 million. The seller requires cash payment without delaying the arrears, so Huizhong can only pay directly in cash, and the other IDC data center located in Iceland with us $10 million, The contract form of 5 million and 11 million three installments will be paid in installments within one year, which can also alleviate the financial pressure of Huizhong and spend more money to develop its business.

Although the overseas cloud computing data center has been completed, in China, the research team that had rested for a period of time continued to travel around the country for research and investigation, while Fang Zhe, the big boss, personally visited Lin Xiaobin, vice president of Google China Academy of engineering, who was familiar with him for a long time.

His purpose of looking for Lin Xiaobin is to recruit cloud computing talents. At most, the R & D team of the cloud computing R & D company bought abroad is to help Huizhong establish a cloud computing product line overseas, but at home, I'm afraid it's not enough. In previous generations, whether Amazon cloud, IBM cloud or Microsoft cloud, the market share of cloud computing in China is poor. There are two major reasons, One is that Alibaba cloud is a big Mac in China, the other is that it is acclimatized!

For domestic developers, the cloud service products provided by Alibaba cloud in China have too many advantages in terms of use and service than those imported from abroad. In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of these overseas giants, Fang zhe decided to set up a cloud computing R & D team in China, and the two R & D teams at home and abroad complement each other, In the case of giving full play to their strengths, how about Huizhong's cloud computing business!

Fang zhe picked a weekend and bought some fruit to visit Lin Xiaobin's house. As expected, President Lei was also there. According to sister-in-law Lin's ridicule, they were almost stuck together!

In addition, the Lin family also has another guest. The guest is wearing a blue T-shirt and black framed glasses. He looks young, but his hair is black and white, with little white head. This situation is not uncommon in the Internet industry. Who let this industry destroy people so much!

Under the introduction of Lin Xiaobin, Fang zhechai knew his identity. He turned out to be the younger brother and former colleague of Dr. Zhou Guangping, one of Xiaomi's future elders. Like Dr. Zhou Guangping, he spent several years in the core R & D team of Motorola, but later, he was hired by a fake mobile phone company in the south of China as the technical R & D director at a high salary.

His name is Li Zhipeng. Originally, President Lei established Xiaomi and planned to dig him in to lead the technical team, but with Zhou Guangping, a postdoctoral with higher technical level, he chose the latter. Li Zhipeng came today at the invitation of Zhou Guangping to discuss technical issues.

Although Zhou Guangping's skills are excellent, they are different from Li Zhipeng's main attack direction. They have a good relationship in private, so they often discuss any problems together. At this time, Zhou Guangping hasn't come yet. He has a good chat with Lei Zong and Lin Xiaobin. After all, Fang Zhe is also one of Xiaomi's start-up members, so the three don't avoid Fang Zhe.
