Top of the big era

Google is the most technologically advanced Internet company in the world.

While other companies are focusing on product development, Google is doing three things: first, subverting the old system in the past; second, formulating new industry standards; third, predicting and developing future technological revolutions.

The concept of distributed was proposed more than ten years ago, but no one knows how to do it. Until a few years ago, Google scientists published several papers related to cloud computing and proposed a distributed architecture concept.

What Google is doing now is a distributed open platform, setting a standard API, and then, no matter what website or hardware device (mobile phone, computer, TV, tablet, etc.), as long as it meets this standard, it can call Google's services.

This is a huge project.

In contrast, the centralized open platform is much simpler.

It is the traditional open platform model developed by companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Yahoo in the past. The API provided by the platform is mainly to provide an application development interface for its own website, and the applications connected to it are only for its own website.

Zhou Buqi asked: "Do you have any relevant ideas?"

Zuckerberg said frankly: "Yes."

"What are you going to do?"

"Centralized open platform."

"Why?"

"Sites such as Friends.com and Facebook, the biggest source of income is advertising. If you want more advertising, you must have more traffic. Our original intention of developing an open platform is to use the power of a third party to help We attract more traffic. Instead of using our own traffic to help the development of third-party software."

Zuckerberg's remarks were not very friendly and sounded a bit mercenary.

But everyone present felt that it made sense.

For example, the software "Dating" developed by Zhang San can be connected to Facebook's open platform, and users of Friends.com can use this "Dating" service on the website.

However, if Zhang San wants to bypass Facebook and allow users to directly log in to the "dating" software, and then call Facebook's servers, broadband, page services, and even friend lists, etc., these will not work.

This is the centralized open platform.

This kind of service must be centered on Facebook and through the website.

Otherwise, the third-party platform just took advantage of it, but did not bring any benefits to the website. Wouldn’t it be a wedding dress for others in vain?

Google's distributed open platform is because Google is not satisfied with just being an Internet company, but a high-tech company for the entire industry, which involves various new forms of software and hardware, even including the aerospace field.

If you don't play distributed, you can't supply it at all.

Last year, Google reached a cooperation with the American Aerospace Research Center, and will carry out in-depth cooperation in the fields of big data management, nanotechnology, distributed computing, and the aerospace industry.

To this end, a major decision was also made to exchange and share their respective technologies with Sun to strengthen their capabilities in data processing.

Zhou Buqi knows that technology is very important, but it is impossible to do what Google does.

The scope of his activities is basically delineated in the 9.6 million square kilometers of land.

Moreover, many projects are state secrets, and private enterprises are prohibited from entering, so they can't do it even if they want to. You must know that most of the high technology in the contemporary world was born out of the aerospace engineering of the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

Google is different, there are no restrictions, and it can embrace the world's top scientists.

Zhou Buqi sighed, and found a reason for himself to step down from the bottom of his heart: "It's not that I don't want to do it, but I really can't do it. Being reborn doesn't mean you have superpowers, and you can't change the national system and international structure."

Then, he stopped being hypocritical and said firmly: "I agree with this idea, and I will make a centralized open platform."

Zuckerberg was very interested in this topic, and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, our thinking is quite consistent. The main reason for this round of financing is that I want to launch two important projects."

"Is it convenient to say?"

"First, the advertising classification project is a commercial advertising alliance. Second, it is the open platform you just mentioned."

Zhou Buqi's eyes lit up, "What a coincidence? I thought so too!"

"oh?"

"Haha, it seems that we are really like-minded."

"The agreement?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Then let's make a decision like this. The agreement just now can be signed. At the same time, in order to express our gratitude, Friends.com can send a technical team to help you complete these two projects."

The few people on the opposite side of the negotiating table looked at each other a little bit, feeling that this kid was a little blackmailing.

How can this be to help?

Sending teams over to participate in Facebook's advertising projects and open platform projects is nothing more than wanting to get the source code. After it is done, take it back, and with a little modification on Youyou.com, you can launch your own advertising alliance and open platform.

Zhen Yu couldn't help opening her eyes wide, a little surprised.

The idea of ​​the advertising alliance was first mentioned to Zhou Buqi by her.

At that time, Zhou Buqi said that the time was not ripe, and Ziweixing's technical team was limited, and good steel should be used on the cutting edge, so it was not easy to be distracted.

This is just great.

Actually played the idea of ​​Facebook!

If the agreement is really reached, it will save Ziwei Star a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources, which means two extra big projects for no reason.

What a bargain!

Facebook is an American company that can easily recruit a group of world-class engineers to do research and development, so it takes half a year to develop an advertising alliance and an open platform.

Nothing technically difficult.

But Friends.com is different, and it cannot be done by concentrating all the power.

Not to mention Friends.com, even Baidu can't make a full-scale open platform at this time, and the amount of work is too huge.

This is equivalent to developing an operating system for Friends.com, and then third-party companies can link their software to the operating system and display it through the platform of Friends.com.

"this……"

Zuckerberg and his colleagues looked at each other in a daze.

This is no small matter!

It involves technology import and export!

Although code leaks are common in the Internet industry, it can't be so blatant, right?

Zhou Buqi saw their worries and said with a smile: "I have consulted them all. The research and development of the open platform does not involve any core technology. The main reason is that the framework is large and the logic is complicated. The difficulty lies in the amount of engineering. This is not subject to the US export ban. Besides, people like Google are playing open source, so what can we do? For the same product, if you make one for Friends.com and one for Facebook, it will cause great waste. Why don’t we combine the two into one? I will also open up the codes of small functions such as 'drift bottle' and 'poke' to you."

Zhang Yiming blushed.

Very guilty.

Boss, you asked others for the codes of the two big projects of the advertising alliance and the open platform, but you provided the two small things of "drifting bottle" and "poke"... Is this taking others as a fool?

As for the service of "drifting bottle", they can develop it in three days.

Zuckerberg glanced at him calmly, "It doesn't seem like enough."

Zhou Buqi said lightly: "We have shown great sincerity in the gambling agreement just now. Mark, now is the time for you to show your sincerity."

"It's too complicated."

"Well, I'm the most honest person, and I also believe in your character. It's okay to tell you, Friends will launch a new social function called 'Shake'."

"What's the meaning?"

"Click the 'shake' button to shake the webpage, as if the page has been shaken. If we both shake at the same time, it means that we have a fate, and the system will automatically match us and establish a relationship. You can add friends to each other, if you don’t like it, you can continue to shake.”

This is probably the most realistic portrayal.

Due to the superposition of various reasons, Internet companies in the United States can develop high-end and cutting-edge technologies, while domestic companies can only innovate in some gadgets.

Zuckerberg is very young, and he doesn't have any obsessive pursuit of technology. He prefers interesting and attractive products.

This "shake", like "drift bottle" and "poke", is very social and very interesting!

Seeing that he was tempted, Zhou Buqi continued to give big gifts.

"And the last point! If you don't agree, then I have no choice but to find other websites to cooperate with."

"What is it?"

"Social games have a very broad market space. In addition to the commercial advertisements loaded on the webpage, they can also feature built-in advertisements. For example, grab parking spaces. Once the game becomes popular, it will definitely attract the attention of car manufacturers. When a new car is launched in the game , you can cooperate with the car factory.”

As soon as Zhou Buqi finished speaking, Emily slapped her hands in surprise: "Yes! Automakers are the biggest advertisers! Those big automakers spend billions of dollars on marketing every year. They must Won't miss it."

Zuckerberg's face brightened, feeling enlightened.

Unlike the founders of Google, he has a strong business mindset and doesn't have a lot of "don't do evil" ideas. He just wants to use user data to make a lot of money every day.

Making money is the most important thing.

Zhou Buqi delivered a fatal blow: "The copyright of the social games provided by Friends.com belongs to us, but except for the operation rights in China, it belongs to Facebook. Whether it is a commercial advertisement on the web page or a built-in advertisement in the game, all All the proceeds belong to you. I only have one condition, which is that Friends.com and Facebook cooperate to develop two projects of advertising distribution and open platform.”

Zuckerberg took a deep breath and made one last request, "What if social gaming fails in the US?"

"When is the earliest you can start these two projects?"

"June."

"Okay!" Zhou Buqi once again showed his outstanding courage, and he waved his hand, "At the beginning of April, the parking space grab was launched on Facebook, and the effect will be seen in two months. The effect is good, the cooperation will continue, and the agreement will be fulfilled. If the effect is not good, the agreement is void!"

This aura is quite out of the ordinary.

Simply crisp, decisive and resolute!

In contrast, Zuckerberg is stingy and caressing about every detail, and has been compared a lot.

The Chinese team, although they all looked unwilling, they all looked proud. Several members of the Facebook team looked quite alone, as if they had suffered a spike.

Zuckerberg squinted his eyes and was shocked. He was naturally unconvinced by this young man who was two years younger than himself. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said firmly, "That's it!"
