Reborn 2005: The Internet Myth

The announcement issued by Huoyun Company caused an uproar on the Internet.

There are currently quite a few Internet users in Daxia, and according to statistics, the number is around 100 million. However, due to the fact that computers themselves are relatively expensive, individual users account for about half, and the rest are basically Internet cafe users.

Nearly 70% of these users, especially individual users, have to pay for anti-virus software. In this era of Trojan horses and viruses, it is really difficult to have a good experience on the Internet without anti-virus software.

However, anti-virus software does not care about rogue software and pop-up ads. This is a consensus that the security industry silently abides by.

So, suddenly an unruly person came, and they couldn't stand it.

Unfortunately, they cannot represent users.

Twelve hours after the "Forever Free" slogan was launched, the number of downloads of "Huo Rong Security" exceeded 3 million, and it is still growing at a rapid rate.

Fang Xing promptly diverted the servers and bought two more sets of servers from GDS IDC, located in Beijing and Yangcheng.

The money is spent, and the results are very good. Neither client downloads nor cloud services are affected.

When Fang Xing came to Wang Zheng's office, he felt quite relaxed: "Next, we will continue to increase investment in IDC. The number of users across the country will become larger and larger. Now we only provide three sets of servers. Zhongyuan,

The southwest and northeast regions are not yet covered.”

Wang Zheng agreed: "You should pay more attention to this aspect and pay attention to timely expansion."

Fang Xing added: "The test results at Shengda are very satisfactory. It is said that they are discussing at the meeting how to buy several sets of anti-cheat programs, probably in the next few days. For the sake of confidentiality, I may have to follow up on this matter at that time.

"

"Thank you for your hard work. With the anti-cheating funds, our cloud computing can start. Do you have any clues?"

Fang Xing shook his head and spread his hands: "Not yet. The technical direction is definitely distributed computing, but what we want to do is distributed computing in a narrow sense, which is very different from traditional distributed computing in a broad sense."

The current development direction of distributed computing is for servers to issue tasks and use the idle CPU resources of personal computer users distributed around the world to perform project data calculations.

Strictly speaking, the "mining" behavior of Bitcoin in the future will be distributed computing.

The process of continuously calculating data through personal computers to obtain reward points is exactly the incentive method used in the current industry's cutting-edge distributed computing.

Bitcoin just calculates a lot of invalid data, and the incentives are no longer points, but "Bitcoins".

This is fundamentally different from the cloud computing that Huoyun wants to do.

What Huoyun wants to do is to set up high-performance server clusters across the country, and integrate these server clusters through the network to form a "cloud". Users do not need to calculate by themselves, but send tasks to the "cloud", and the cloud will automatically allocate reasonable

The resource calculation result is returned directly.

At the same time, users will also be charged based on the calculation amount of the task.

In the future, cloud computing will be divided into two forms: private cloud and public cloud. Later, public-private hybrid cloud was developed. They are essentially the same. Service providers build resource pools and users pay on demand.

Wang Zhengfu has carried out a private cloud construction project for a government unit in the future, so he has a private cloud solution, but he cannot come up with it.

Don't dare to take it out.

No matter how awesome "Huorong" is, it is impossible to directly come up with a complete set of cloud computing solutions. This thing is a cross-section of multiple disciplines and multiple businesses. Which cloud computing service provider will be successful in the future without being famous?

Microsoft, Amazon, Google, the three foreign giants.

Big Thief, Juchang, Goosechang, the three domestic giants.

Who has not invested hundreds or even thousands of people in a team and spent countless funds to polish the cloud computing that will become popular in the future?

Counting on one person? The earth does not allow such an awesome person to exist.

Wang Zheng smiled and said: "Cloud computing is a long-term business. We still need to improve our strength before we can gradually expand it. Don't worry, we will slowly build up the infrastructure first."

Regarding Huoyun's development route, Wang Zheng's plan is still very clear.

Based on his prophetic memory, he first made money. Then based on the future results, he worked backwards on the technical route and finally formed Huoyun's own product.

In the meantime, his advantage is to directly block the numerous forks on the road by advancing technology, and rush to the end of the road without turning or slowing down - anyone can overtake on a straight road.

Wang Zheng was leisurely planning his next profitable business, while the atmosphere in Ruixing Company far away in the capital was a bit depressing.

With the reputation of "Huo Rong", the uninstall rate of Ruixing Antivirus client reached 10% the day after Huoyun Company's notice was issued.

It is true that they are the leader in the anti-virus industry, but the number of users is only close to 20 million. They lost nearly 2 million users in two days, which is an unprecedented drop.

These customers always have demand for anti-virus software. Obviously, 90% of them will turn to Huorong, which is permanently free.

President Wang Xin and Vice President Zhao Sizhang both looked unhappy. Ruixing Antivirus is a paid software. Losing 2 million users means that monthly income will be reduced by 20 million!

The point is, this matter is not over yet.

Wang Xin almost yelled at Zhao Sizhang: "Are you out of your mind? Why did you provoke Huo Rong? You don't know what the Great Summer News reported a while ago?"

Zhao Sizhang was also aggrieved: "Those old customers paid for us to help suppress it. We just gave Huo Rong a warning first. I didn't want to provoke them. It was just a matter of a day or two. Who would have thought that Huo Yun would So tough?"

Wang Xin was so annoyed that his favorite cigars no longer smelled good. He waved his hand and said: "You should resolve this matter as soon as possible. In short, the users cannot continue to decline, otherwise it will be difficult for the board of directors to accept it."

Zhao Sizhang secretly cursed in his heart that I was the one who took the blame for this, and he could only nod his head and said: "Okay, I will handle it properly."

After waving his hand to disperse the swirling smoke, Wang Xin asked again: "How is the active defense technology? Has Liu Xu agreed?"

Zhao Sizhang shook his head and said helplessly: "I have used both soft and hard ones. Tian Dakui is still squatting inside now. I have said all my good things. Liu Xu will bite him to death and he will not sell him alive."

Wang Xin sighed and was silent for a while, then suddenly his face turned grim and he said: "In this case, if I can't get it, he won't even think about selling it on the market. Keep an eye on him, I won't even find a single person to do the work!"

Weidian is the Weidian company founded by Liu Xu. This person is known as the first anti-virus person in Daxia, and Ruixing anti-virus was developed by him. At the beginning of this year, Liu Xu suddenly resigned as the president of Ruixing, left Ruixing and founded Micropoint Company.

Chairman and new president Wang Xin has repeatedly publicly accused Liu Xu of not abiding by business rules and stealing the old company’s trade secrets. No one knows the power struggle involved, but in June this year, Liu Xu released the world’s first “active defense antivirus”

engine".

The technical strength is evident.

Unfortunately, Weidian Company has never obtained a sales license, and this anti-virus software is still lying in the warehouse. Even the company's vice president Tian Dakui has become involved!

This matter is very thought-provoking.
