Top of the big era

Bird broke the contract.

It was originally agreed that the Bird D208 mobile phone will participate in the group buying on Xiaonei.com, but after a storm, even Bird couldn't stand it anymore and withdrew from the group buying.

On the phone, Liu Qiangdong sighed and said, "Actually, Bird hopes to continue to cooperate with us. In the first half of this year, Bird shipped more than 6.5 million mobile phones, but almost no one uses them for college students. Cell phones for college students are more expensive. For foreign brands like Nokia, Motorola, and Sony Ericsson, buy domestic BBK if they are cheaper. This is Bird’s strategy, and it has always wanted to break into the college student market.”

Zhou Buqi didn't care about these things, "How much is the breach of contract?"

"Uh..." Liu Qiangdong was a little disappointed, "500,000. I also sent them the money from the last panic buying event, so it's clear."

"What about the other manufacturers?"

"It's almost the same. I refused to supply JD. Hey, I don't even cooperate with Lenovo mobile phones. Xiao Zhou, we are a bit fierce this time."

Zhou Buqi didn't take it seriously, and said coldly: "The big industry change that hasn't happened in decades, can't you be more aggressive? Isn't it just not supplying goods, what's the big deal?"

Liu Qiangdong said: "Speaking lightly, JD.com mainly focuses on electronic products, and mobile phones are the most important part of electronic products. JD.com's supply is cut off, which will greatly affect our brand value."

"Aren't there still foreign ones?"

"That's different. Foreign mobile phone manufacturers are a bit... how to say, a bit awkward. They don't have to worry about selling their mobile phones. In the domestic market, they sell as much as they can. Therefore, we can't get them when we cooperate with foreign mobile phone manufacturers. Great price."

"There is always a way."

Liu Qiangdong sighed: "That's the only way to go. It's impossible to make money. At least we can't let JD Multimedia lose its mobile phone sales business."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Actually, I don't think it's that serious. The Mobile Phone Industry Association... It sounds nice, but I don't believe they can really become a god. If they really have this ability, they will collude in private and rely on domestic mobile phones The cost advantage of foreign mobile phones has already squeezed out foreign mobile phones, so it has caused the current bleak market?"

"hope so."

Liu Qiangdong was not in a good mood.

Jingdong is different from Xiaonei.

The Xiaonei website was blocked by the Mobile Phone Association, so it would be a big deal not to sell mobile phones in the future. There are thousands of items, why not sell them? Jingdong has no choice, mobile phones are a necessity.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Buqi sat in the office, deep in thought.

A few days ago, Dad communicated with him again.

It is said that the old man has already released a word, saying that if separating the family is a better choice, then it is not impossible to consider, it is almost tantamount to acquiescing.

Moreover, the old man has contacted an independent third-party accounting firm to count all the properties of the Zhou family.

There are always two or three hundred million.

Dad said, he doesn't want a company, he doesn't want real estate, he just wants cash. As long as he got the money, he would move away from Chuncheng and go to Beijing to join his son.

Dad also said that when he has money, he will enter the mobile phone industry!

Zhou Buqi naturally didn't believe that his father had the ability to start a mobile phone company, and it would be his own burden to be uncertain. However, he is happy to see it succeed.

If Dad can really stand on his own and welcome the new students, that would be a great thing.

Right now, Xiaonei.com and JD.com have been jointly blocked by domestic mobile phone manufacturers.

out of stock.

At this time, starting a mobile phone company might really be the way out.

Even if it can’t achieve the sales of more than 10 million mobile phones a year like Bird, relying on Xiaonei.com’s group buying and JD.com platform, abandoning the traditional sales model of multi-level dealers and hypermarkets, and selling directly online with a low-price strategy...

Even if only 1 million mobile phones are sold in a year, and each mobile phone earns only 100 yuan, he can still earn 100 million yuan.

From this point of view, it seems that it is not so difficult.

Next, it depends on whether the platform of Xiaonei.com is reliable.

The sun is like a fire.

Mobile phone group buying is about to start.

On this day, everyone from Xiaonei came early.

The technicians were making final preparations; Guo Pengfei called Wangsu to communicate with Wangsu Technology and asked to ensure the application of the edge server; Zhou Buqi contacted JD.com and asked to do a good job in group buying customer service.

Group buying is officially opened at 12:00 noon.

By 9 a.m., everything is basically ready.

Everyone stared at each other, feeling that even breathing was tense. No one spoke, just sat quietly in front of the computer, waiting for the moment when the sale would start.

Zhou Buqi wanted to tell a joke, or ask Guan Ting to sing a song to cheer up the atmosphere, but he was afraid that the sales of group buying would not be good, and the extreme joy would turn into sadness, so he had to say to Guan Ting: "It is estimated that at this time, there are many people like us who are in Waiting in front of the computer. Once the group buying starts, there will probably be a rush to buy. Wangsu’s CND technology is good, but you can’t rely on them. Go to the forum and post a post to tell everyone that if the page cannot be opened when the group buying starts Don’t worry, you can wait half an hour or an hour before buying, the inventory is sufficient.”

Guan Ting nodded and acted immediately.

The growth of this girl is visible to the naked eye.

At the very beginning, she was a timid and thin-faced girl with low self-esteem and self-pity. She cried because she failed to go to the administrative building to take a part-time job on campus. Every time she saw Zhou Buqi, she would blush.

But now she has become a lot more arrogant. Although sometimes she can't bear Zhou Bu's generous jokes and will hide her face and run away, but when she is with her colleagues, she is no longer so inferior, and she can treat her with equal dignity. get along with identity.

Of course, this also has something to do with her boyfriend being Guo Pengfei, the general manager of Xiaonei.com.

With a man, confidence is enough.

Just when Guan Ting posted the post as the general moderator of the Xiaonei forum, the technician Fu Hongliang suddenly yelled: "Boss Zhou, Lao Guo, come here!"

Zhou Buqi and Guo Pengfei's expressions changed, and they hurried over, "What's going on?"

Fu Hongliang pointed to the computer screen, his face turned red, "Look at this number, in the past hour, more than 30,000 users across the country have opened the membership purchase service, look at this number... it means that 386 people are currently applying for subscription middle."

Guo Pengfei breathed a sigh of relief, patted him on the head, and scolded with a smile: "This is a good thing! I was surprised!"

Zhou Buqi asked cautiously: "There are so many people who have opened membership purchases in a short period of time, is there any problem with the technology?"

Fu Hongliang smiled and said, "No problem. Didn't Wangsu say that it can handle more than 1 million people snapping up online at the same time."

Guo Pengfei said disdainfully: "Don't listen to that kind of nonsense. They can guarantee that 100,000 people will rush online at the same time without getting stuck on the page. Thank God."

The two parties have cooperated for more than 2 months, and basically know the basics.

The CDN technology of Wangsu Technology can cope with normal page browsing, such as Friends.com. But online shopping is not good. Online shopping needs to run the payment environment, which needs to occupy extremely high bandwidth, and will also cause great pressure on the edge server of Wangsu.

How did cloud computing emerge?

It is the e-commerce platform Amazon from the United States.

This should be the only way out for super-large shopping platforms.

On the domestic side, the e-commerce giant Alibaba was the first to bet on cloud computing.

There is a passage in which Mr. Li of Baidu once publicly said: "Cloud computing is old wine in new bottles, and there is nothing new." Mr. Ma of Tencent once said: "Cloud computing is too far away, and it probably won't be realized until the era of Avatar." Only Alima, who doesn't understand technology, made a big bet that cloud computing is the future trend, and then achieved great success.

This is real.

But it would be too one-sided to say that those two are much worse than Arima based on this.

Only when people are in desperate situations can they unleash their unlimited potential.

At that time, Ali was already in full swing, and the original "Double Eleven Shopping Festival" was popular all over the country. However, as Dr. Wang Jian, the father of cloud computing, said, if Ali does not engage in cloud computing, it may be over within ten years.

If you want to support hundreds of millions of users across the country to shop online at the same time, it is far from enough to rely solely on CDN technology. Only cloud computing can handle such a large data flow.

Alima's cloud computing is a last stand.

According to Ali's internal statistics, if it does not do so, then Ali's annual profits will not be enough to pay the service fee to IOE, and it will fall into a dead end.

Zhou Buqi knew this well, and had already communicated with Zhang Yiming, asking him to contact Microsoft Research.

"How many users are there in total?"

"It's not written, it's more than 120,000."

"How much money did you save?"

"Well……"

When it comes to accounts, this is not the authority Fu Hongliang can have as a technician.

Guo Pengfei took Zhou Buqi to his computer and looked at the background data.

Ho!

The total amount purchased by members has reached 6.23 million!

Guo Pengfei checked his keyboard like flying, and said in surprise and disbelief: "In the past hour, the re-deposit amount has exceeded 3 million! In other words, half of the 6 million miles was deposited in the past hour. "

"good sign."

Zhou Buqi clenched his fists tightly.

It looks like something big is going to happen!

After half an hour, check the data again.

The number of users purchased by members has exceeded 140,000, and the total amount has exceeded 9 million!

Guo Pengfei felt his heart beating, and said excitedly: "Today is Saturday, it seems that college students all over the country are sitting in front of their computers and can't wait for the sale to begin!"

At 10 o'clock, the total number of users exceeded 190,000, and the total amount of deposits reached 12 million;

At 10:30, the total number of users exceeded 230,000, and the total deposit amount reached 15 million;

At 11 o'clock, the total number of users exceeded 290,000, and the total amount of deposits exceeded 20 million!

At 11:30, the data ushered in a big explosion. The number of registered users of membership purchases reached as many as 450,000, and the pre-deposits also reached 40 million!

College students are really rich!

Seeing that it is almost 12 noon, group buying is about to start.

Zhou Buqi asked again: "Check the data again."

After Guo Pengfei checked, his voice was a little hoarse: "The number of users is 650,000, and the deposit is 62 million."

Zhou Buqi felt a sense of ascension in which the aura of heaven and earth was stirred and gathered in one body, and he exhaled a foul breath: "This matter is done!"
