Rebirth 2003: Dominate the Tech World

After the military training, the school announced that the freshmen would have a day off.

On September 26, the day after tomorrow, a welcome party will be held, and then classes will officially begin.

In the afternoon, the head teacher Xue Yalan gathered everyone together.

“Dear students, congratulations on the successful completion of your military training. I see that everyone’s spirit is different, which is very good. Let’s applaud ourselves.”

“Pa pa pa pa~~”

The applause was thunderous.

After two minutes, when the applause stopped, Xue Yalan continued, “The day after tomorrow is the welcome party. Each class needs to have a program at the welcome party. As the class with the best academic performance, our Mathematics School Class 2 cannot lose to other departments in making programs, so I hope you can show all your skills to the teachers and students of the whole school.”

After Xue Yalan finished speaking, she expected someone to sign up, but she didn’t expect that no one said anything after waiting for a long time.

Just when Mr. Xue was embarrassed, Zhao Yuhang raised his hand and asked, “Teacher, can I sign up to go on stage to explain math problems to everyone?”

Fuck, it’s so cool, a gold medalist who won the Olympic Games came on stage to explain the Euler equation to everyone. This operation is in line with the style of the School of Mathematics. Who said that Lao Zhao is an introvert? Ye Yunzhou thought.

However, when Mr. Xue heard this, he had a thousand horses running wild in his heart. He thought that the School of Mathematics really deserves its title of lunatic asylum. There are people with all kinds of brain circuits.

Mr. Xue first encouraged Zhao Yuhang’s courage, and then asked him to think about whether he had other talents.

“Lao Ye, you usually hum songs in the dormitory very well, go and sing one?”

“Forget it, I still like to be an audience in the audience.”

“……”

After leaving the classroom, Ye Yunzhou looked at the watch and found that it was only two o’clock in the afternoon. He decided to go to the company first and then go home.

Three o’clock in the afternoon on September 24, 2003, Origin Building, Cambrian Company Headquarters, Conference Room on the Tenth Floor

This was a small executive meeting, with only a few senior managers and the president’s assistant who took minutes.

Ye Yunzhou sat in the main seat, and the meeting was chaired by Lu Qi, vice president of Cambrian.

After everyone was seated, Ye Yunzhou signaled Lu Qi to start.

Lu Qi coughed, attracted everyone’s attention, and said: “Li Mi, come and introduce the development of Jiaoyibao to the president.”

Lu Qi nodded and began to introduce: “President, partners, as of September 23, Jiaoyibao’s registered users have exceeded 24 million, and it is expected that the number of registered users will exceed 25 million by the end of this month.”

Li Mi paused after speaking, and seeing that everyone was listening carefully, he continued: “The water, electricity and coal payment function we launched is very popular among users and is rated by users as the most practical Internet product.”

Ye Yunzhou certainly knew that this function would be very well received. In the past, everyone had to go to relevant institutions or banks to queue up to pay for water, electricity and coal, which was troublesome and time-consuming. Now with Jiaoyibao, those who have computers at home can pay in a few minutes at home, and those who don’t have computers can go to Internet cafes and spend ten minutes to get it done. It’s so convenient.

After a pause, Li Mi continued, “At present, we have opened this service in Yanjing, Modu, Guangcheng, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Rongcheng, Lincheng, etc. Next month, we plan to open 20 more cities. By the end of this year, we will basically cover all the cities in Xiaguo above the third tier.”

Li Mi paused again and continued, “In terms of talent team building, the entire Cambrian company currently has more than 2,500 employees, of which the number of employees in Jiaoyibao has exceeded 500, of which technical personnel account for about 80%. The number of employees in Jianbao.com has reached 1,951, of which technical personnel account for about 30%, marketing personnel account for 60%, and the remaining 10% are operational personnel. And ‘Cambrian Cloud’ currently has 51 people, basically all of them are technical personnel.”

After Li Mi finished speaking, he waited for Ye Yunzhou’s instructions.

Ye Yunzhou coughed, attracted everyone’s attention and said: “First of all, Jiaoyibao is the core product of our Cambrian company. Why can it develop so fast in the market? Because it has no competitors. Of course, our service is also good, which is undeniable, but we can’t be proud. Only by standing more from the user’s perspective and continuously optimizing the product can we get more users’ favor.”

Ye Yunzhou paused, drank a sip of water and continued: “Well, the Jiaoyibao account balance payment function can be launched.”

After Ye Yunzhou finished speaking, all executives hurriedly took notes.

After the launch of the Jiaoyibao account balance payment function, it means that buyers can directly use the balance of the Jiaoyibao account to pay for shopping on the Jianbao website, which further facilitates users.

Because the balance in the user account could only be withdrawn to the bank card before, shopping could only be deducted from the bound bank card.After everyone finished taking notes, Ye Yunzhou continued: “We can take the initiative to contact the three major operators to see if we can cooperate on mobile and fixed-line communication charges. We will also open payment ports for them.”

Everyone hurriedly wrote it down again. Of course, the president’s assistant who was taking minutes of the meeting was always on high alert and did not dare to miss every word Ye Yunzhou said.

After Ye Yunzhou finished speaking, he motioned Lu Qi to continue.

Lu Qi did not let others report immediately. He reported himself: “President, recently Ma Yun of Ali and Liu Xiaodong of Jindong have come to our company two or three times, hoping that we can provide them with online payment services.”

After Lu Qi finished speaking, he looked at Ye Yunzhou’s face and found that there was no change. He continued: “In addition, eBay and Amazon also sent their vice presidents to our company, hoping that we can provide online payment services.”

Ye Yunzhou knew that now, except for Jiaoyibao, all other global online payment softwares are down, and the payment methods for online shopping in Europe and the United States have suddenly returned to the time when there were no online payment tools ten years ago.

This has led to a sharp drop in the number of people shopping online in Europe and the United States. At the same time, the stock prices of these e-commerce companies in Europe and the United States have also begun to halve. eBay’s stock price has fallen from 26.4 billion US dollars at its peak this year to less than 11.5 billion US dollars. Amazon has fallen from 20.8 billion US dollars to about 11 billion US dollars now. If the online payment problem is not solved, these platforms will fall sharply.

Ye Yunzhou thought for a moment. He was wondering if it was time to open it now. He originally planned to open it to other platforms next year.

Everyone has been waiting for him to make a decision.

“Let’s do this. Open it to other domestic e-commerce companies first. Well, the domestic branches of foreign e-commerce companies can also be opened to them first. At the same time, Jiaoyibao needs to start recruiting people for training, and it can expand outward at the beginning of next year. My plan is to occupy all developed countries’ markets first, and then expand to developing countries. Our goal is to make ‘Jiaoyibao’ the world’s largest online payment platform.”

Everyone blushed after hearing this. They were excited, because they had always wanted to expand, but Ye Yunzhou had been suppressing it. Now that the president has let go, they can finally do a big job.

In fact, expansion is not difficult now, but supervision, especially data compliance issues, is difficult. What Ye Yunzhou has to do now is to build a data center in each place where he expands, and store data locally to circumvent supervision. At the same time, domestic data is also prohibited from flowing out of the country.

“By the way, how far has our data center in Lincheng been built?”

Twenty days ago, the first data center of Cambrian Group settled in Lincheng, Ye Yunzhou’s hometown, and received great attention from Lin Tianxiang, the provincial party secretary of Lingwu Province.

Lingwu Province has been restricted by geographical factors and its economic development has been limited. Although he has made various efforts since he took office, such as cracking down on gangs and optimizing the business environment, the economic growth rate has increased, but it is not fast enough compared with other provinces.

In the current Daxia country, the promotion of officials is linked to GDP. Although he is now the chief official of a province, there is a saying in the Daxia officialdom that if you don’t enter the regular, you will end up as an ant. If he wants to continue to be promoted, he must increase GDP.

So when Cambrian said it would invest 150 million to build a data center in Lincheng, he gave Cambrian the green light all the way. The initial land approval was so fast that even the senior executives of Cambrian were amazed.

Because Secretary Lin knew that once Cambrian stayed in Lincheng, the future investment might be ten or a hundred times of 150 million.

Of course, Secretary Lin’s idea was not this. He knew that Cambrian was the most powerful e-commerce company in Xiaguo at present, and the founder of this company was Ye Yunzhou.

When he found out at the beginning, he didn’t dare to believe it. It was not until the secretary showed him the relevant files that he was sure that this one of the most powerful high-tech companies in Daxia was founded by his granddaughter’s lifesaver, Ye Yunzhou. At this time, he finally believed that there were all-round talents in the world, and Ye Yunzhou was also the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Lingwu Province.

In the past, he and his wife had always worried that their granddaughter’s relationship with Ye Yunzhou would not have a good result because the family gap was too big. Now the couple fully support their granddaughter to be with Ye Yunzhou.

Moreover, they still give advice and suggestions to their granddaughter from time to time, telling her that Ye Yunzhou is still young and may not understand some things between men and women, and ask her to take the initiative, which makes Lin Qianxia a little confused.

“The data center has been built overtime. At present, more than 50 engineers from Cambrian Cloud are all on site. It is expected to be used by the end of the year or early next year.”

Ye Yunzhou nodded. You know, it is not so easy to build a data center. It involvesThere are too many technologies involved. For example, server technology, including server hardware architecture, processor performance, memory and storage configuration, etc.

Currently, Cambrian’s servers are basically purchased from the United States. There is no way, China cannot produce mid-to-high-end servers for the time being.

As for network technology: such as high-speed Ethernet, fiber optic communication, network topology design, IP address allocation, routing and switching technology, etc., to ensure efficient data transmission and network connection. These technologies are very important and are also the most cutting-edge technologies in the world today.

Except for some of these technologies that are self-developed, the others are purchased from Huawei and ZTE.

Of course, there are too many things involved in storage technology, virtualization technology, cooling technology, power technology, monitoring and management technology, etc.

“Okay, let’s get started.” Ye Yunzhou signaled Lu Qi.
