Top of the big era

The contract has been signed, it is really a "5 million + 5 million" contract.

Divided into two phases of group purchase.

The first period takes 4 days, and the second period takes 6-10 days.

If it really wants to fulfill this contract and develop according to plan, Ziweixing can easily earn more than 100 million from Suning.

Now it’s just about finding a way to make sure you get the money.

In fact, the money is not important. What is important is to make Suning breach the contract.

This wave of cooperation between on-campus group buying and Suning.com is actually a practical exercise, allowing Suning’s tech-savvy heads to recognize the reality and stop believing in IBM’s outdated technology system.

Normally speaking, IBM's e-commerce system is not good at all. Don't look at Suning's purchase of a bunch of IBM's software and hardware products at high prices, including those very high-end servers.

On-campus group buying is a high-traffic network activity. Once the traffic on the campus network is connected to Suning.com... it is guaranteed to completely collapse the e-commerce system that IBM spent a lot of money to build.

In this way, Suning breached the contract.

Ziweixing can receive a total of 10 million in liquidated damages and pit fees every day.

Of course, Zhou Buqi collected the 10 million with good intentions to help Suning escape from the clutches of the devil. In order to ensure that the assistance could be implemented, he specifically found Cheng Binghao.

"Isn't this reliable? We have worked so hard to plan, but we are so ashamed that we couldn't help Suning."

"Don't worry, it's no problem. As long as 500,000 people rush into Suning.com's website, it will definitely cause the collapse of the CDN, the collapse of the database, and even the complete collapse of the server."

Cheng Binghao has been studying this matter recently and appears very confident.

Zhou Buqi asked: "What about repairing? After the crash, how long will it take for them to recover?"

Cheng Binghao said: "If there are no other factors, recovery is actually very simple. Just restart the server. Just like the computer crashes, just restart it. The difference is that when restoring the server, the first thing to ensure is the recovery of the data. Especially in e-commerce. For a platform where money is exchanged, the accuracy of the data must be guaranteed. Then there is the need to find a solution to the server crash. After the data is restored, the server is restarted, and the traffic rushes in, the server crashes again. This is meaningless. In the final analysis , we still have to solve the problem.”

"Roughly how long will it take?"

"It's hard to say. The higher the technical level, the faster the recovery. This year, Youku's server was overloaded due to excessive data volume, and it took 10 hours to recover. Similar things happened to Facebook this year, and it took 3 hours to recover. Baidu also encountered a similar thing this year, and it took about 3-4 hours. If a personal website encountered a similar thing, it would basically take a few days. IBM's technology... I think it's quite awkward. It would be good to be able to recover within 24 hours. ”

"24 hours? Are you sure?"

"We can't be sure. We can only give a rough estimate. After all, our contact with IBM is not deep. It is impossible to restore within a few hours, that's for sure."

"That's okay."

Zhou Buqi nodded, quite satisfied.

When on-campus group buying is launched, there are often two peak periods due to the amount of time college students spend online.

One is the afternoon peak and the other is the evening peak.

During the afternoon peak, the traffic generally does not exceed 10 million.

The evening peak is very fierce, sometimes even exceeding 20 million!

The school network has developed for so many years, and the earliest batch of school network users have graduated long ago. However, according to the rules of the school network, their accounts will not be canceled after graduation. They can still browse the school network and use some of its services, such as school forums, school beauty voting, knowledge quizzes, etc.

Some services are only available to college students, including junior college, undergraduate, master's, doctoral, etc., such as sign-in lottery benefits, online part-time jobs, and on-campus group buying.

The current Xiaonei network has more than 95 million registered users, and it will soon exceed 100 million.

However, there are only about 25 million school students who are eligible for group buying.

During the evening rush hour, college students will generally participate in on-campus group buying. Although those college students who have graduated cannot use on-campus group buying, they can browse, observe and feel the high quality provided by the school network to college students. Group purchasing services.

So the traffic during the evening peak will be very high.

However, this time the on-campus group buying is different.

A third-party external link appeared - Suning.com.

College students who have graduated cannot participate in on-campus group buying, which mainly refers to self-operated products. Suning.com is an external link, but they can participate.

This means that once the two parties cooperate, there will be greater traffic rushing to Suning.com's website.

It's hard not to die.

However, Zhou Buqi wanted to ensure the success of the plan. He found Zhang Yiming, He Yang, Cheng Binghao, Guo Pengfei, Liang Rubo, Zhang Xuhao, Meng Houkun and others to hold a secret meeting.

"The main purpose of this cooperation with Suning is to reveal the true face of IBM! We want our domestic counterparts to have a clear understanding that Silicon Valley technology giants are not omnipotent, and we want to break their past blind worship! "

Zhou Buqi's words were categorical and righteous.

Meng Houkun didn't care about that, "Well, it will cost a lot of money to snatch Suning's order!"

Zhou Buqi glared at him angrily, "This is not for money, this is for peers, for the industry, for society, for the country, for..."

"Okay, okay, hurry up and deploy the mission. There are no outsiders here. I have something to do over there."

Meng Houkun was careless and showed no respect at all.

Zhou Buqi took a deep look at him and basically had some guesses.

This kid is in a mood!

Recently, Zhou Buqi is making a relatively large personnel adjustment. He wants to send Wang Xing to Fantuan.com as chairman and CEO, and let Zhang Yinlei be his deputy.

This is really unkind.

You must know that Fantuan.com has not received much care from Ziweixing and Zhou Da bosses in the past few years. Zhang Yinlei worked hard and led the team to push it down one school after another with his legs.

Now, Fantuan.com has captured the most important campus takeout market for college students in the country, and it has achieved some results. Now it’s time to pick the peaches!

Meng Houkun is a very loyal guy, and he is fighting for Zhang Yinlei. We are all members of the Ten School Entrepreneurship Alliance. It’s not that we are indifferent, but we just think Boss Zhou’s arrangement is a bit cruel.

Zhou Buqi planned to take some time to talk to him. He first talked about Suning. "When doing group buying on campus, we must ensure that the large traffic can overwhelm Suning.com. If you want a person to wake up from his confusion, go and persuade him earnestly." It won't work. The best way is to slap him twice. When you understand something, you must understand it from a higher perspective. We are helping Suning, and everyone must have the same mind."

He Yang nodded, "Well, this is very important and must be conveyed. Our plan this time is not very clever. It is just a trick to deceive the layman. A discerning person will understand it at a glance. If the employees have a feeling that we are deliberately This can lead to misunderstandings that harm business partners and may lead to differences in ideas and values.”

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Yes, that's what I mean..."

Before he finished speaking, Meng Houkun raised his hand, "I'll be responsible for this!"

"you?"

Zhou Buqi was slightly surprised.

Meng Houkun said: "I only came up with this idea in the past two days. I think we should take this matter as a case and solve this matter holistically from the company system, instead of treating a headache and treating a foot."

Zhou Buqi was a little amused, "Okay, we'll talk about this later. Regarding Suning, we have to ensure success. Now there is a little trouble. The traffic of group buying on campus is very high. We only need to introduce 5% of this traffic to Suning.com , is enough to knock their platform down.”

Cheng Binghao said: "Yes, almost."

Zhou Buqi said: "But we can't control the choices of college students. If we put up a link to Suning.com and college students don't click on it, the plan may fail."

Zhang Xuhao said: "It's simple. I've already planned it. There can be a policy of reducing or exempting orders together. I bought a product from the on-campus group purchase, and then went to Suning to buy a random product to make up for it, until it reached a certain amount. The fee can be reduced.”

Liang Rubo frowned slightly, "I haven't approved your plan yet. The campus network's planning has a general policy, which is not to develop business at the premise of harming college students. The purchase reduction and exemption plan you mentioned can indeed achieve good results. . But once Suning.com was hit, the website crashed and the web page could not be opened. College students who wanted to collect orders but could not open the web page had to worry and could not enjoy the benefits of order reduction or exemption. "

He Yang nodded, "That's what I mean."

Zhang Xuhao said in embarrassment: "If the plan to reduce or reduce purchases cannot be implemented, we will not have enough control to influence the choices of college students, and they may really ignore Suning.com's links collectively."

Meng Houkun's style has always been wild, "Why don't we launch a DoS attack!"

The logic of the DoS attack is actually very similar to the plan of the school network, which is to find a way to shut down the other party's server, thereby causing network paralysis.

In the early days of the school network, it also suffered DoS attacks and was once in great trouble.

However, those are very low-end attacks.

You can see something strange at a glance, and you can tell that the website is under attack, and you need to take corresponding emergency measures.

However, some top DoS attacks are good at disguising themselves and are difficult to detect.

For example, this time the strong traffic of on-campus group buying hit Suning.com, but Suning couldn't handle it and the server crashed. If an expert could disguise a DoS attack as a disk full caused by calls to the Suning.com backend program initiated by college students across the country... it would be difficult to detect.
