Top of the big era

Youdao is of course famous.

At the beginning, it was a department of NetEase, and its main direction was search, that is, Youdao search.

But after the launch, the share is not good.

In this life, there are micro points, and the share is even less. In the previous life, there was no Weidian, and the market share was far inferior to Sogou. At that time, the Sogou input method became popular all over the country.

Youdao also learned this kind of flanking and roundabout method, and made a product that can win word of mouth-Youdao Dictionary.

Sogou Input Method is an input method for search engines, and Youdao Dictionary is a dictionary for search engines, which can easily include popular words and common sentences on the Internet.

Then it defeated many dictionary products on the market in one fell swoop and became popular.

Later, Youdao’s search business could not be carried out, so it gave up, and Youdao Dictionary became the main force instead. Then, relying on Youdao Dictionary, Youdao completed a series of layouts. Products such as Youdao Excellent Courses, Youdao Cloud Notes, Youdao Translator, Netease Cloud Classroom, Youdao Children’s English, and Youdao Ledu have become An important brand of online education.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Feng, the founder of Youdao, is a "layman", a rare expert in the field of distributed systems and operating systems in China!

This is a bit too pity.

Although Youdao did a good job later, its existence value is nothing more than earning more money for NetEase. Youdao products are of limited help to the education industry.

But distributed algorithms and operating system technology are the foundation of the Internet technology industry!

For such a great talent to give up his own research direction and turn to study search technology and develop Youdao dictionary... Boss Ding, who raises pigs, is really reckless.

If a talent of this level is recruited by NetEase, does it belong to NetEase?

It is also the technical resource of the whole country!

There is no Youdao search, there is Baidu, and there are many search engines. There is no Youdao Dictionary, but the famous Kingsoft PowerWord, and many online dictionaries.

In the field of distributed and operating systems, domestic world-class talents are rare.

Even if it is the Hongmeng system more than ten years later, it claims to be more powerful than Android, what technology does it rely on?

The answer is distributed!

In terms of distributed design, Hongmeng has indeed made great improvements and improvements compared to Android. The main reason is that Android is too old. It was born in 2003. At that time, distributed technology had not yet been developed.

It will be very difficult to change in the future, and the compatibility is not easy to solve.

Although Hongmeng is an Android shell, it has also solved many technical problems and made a huge breakthrough in distribution. With distributed and powerful technology, Hongmeng can be more efficient and run faster than Android in some aspects of performance.

Ten years later, this is the most mainstream technology in the industry.

This is 2007. If he is well trained, this Zhou Feng can definitely become a leader in related fields in China. And he later led Youdao to success, which is enough to show that he is not only a technical genius, but also excels in corporate management and strategic vision.

Such a person, just being a good person who is better than nothing, is really overkill.

From Wang Xiaochuan's words, Zhou Buqi even vaguely felt that Zhou Feng was stronger than Wang Jian and Yang Zhenkun. In terms of distribution, both Yang Zhenkun and Wang Jian became monks halfway through, while Zhou Feng came from a professional background and published many related papers in top journals during his doctoral period.

Moreover, Zhou Feng is Wang Xiaochuan's classmate, he is young!

Being born in Tsinghua University also has deep roots.

Sohu Building is located in Tsinghua Science and Technology Park.

Wang Xiaochuan went on to say: "Two years ago, Zhou Feng joined Youdao, but he was working part-time at that time. He was in charge of two projects of Netease, one was the search system and the other was the password system. He was very busy at the time. Study in the United States, and at the same time fly to Hangzhou to manage the search business; also fly to the capital to work on the encryption system.”

"A password system? What is it?"

"In the past few years, account theft in online games has been very serious. A company in Silicon Valley has developed a one-time password authentication system. Every time you log in to a game account, you have to enter this one-time password to protect the account security. At that time NetEase doesn’t have this technology, so it can’t make this encryption system, so I went to the United States to buy it, but the asking price from the Americans was 15 million U.S. dollars.”

"$15 million?"

Zhou Buqi twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that this old beauty is really dark enough, he dared to offer such a high price two years ago.

Wang Xiaochuan said: "Boss Ding is not willing to spend so much money, but he can't make it himself. Later, when he asked Zhou Feng, he said that this thing is simple and he can make it by himself."

"And then it's done?"

"It's done. He led a project team, basically commanded by remote control, and made this password system. It's the first case in China. Now NetEase's games use this password system."

"So, during his Ph.D. study, he helped NetEase do two major things. One is to make a password system, and the other is to make Youdao search?"

"Yes, more than ten papers were published in top journals during the period."

"sharp!"

"He graduated with a Ph.D. this year, and he hasn't officially joined the job yet. I heard his wife said that Boss Ding seems to be giving him a huge offer, appointing him as the senior vice president of NetEase."

Zhou Buqi was slightly surprised, "His wife?"

Wang Xiaozhou's face was not normal, "His wife is also a classmate of Tsinghua University, a student of the 96th class. She is also in that group. You can check it online now, and you can still see her name. Later, they went to Berkeley to study together. Doctor, married."

Zhou Buqi almost laughed, "His wife is your classmate?"

"Um."

"very beautiful?"

"Um."

"Ha ha!"

Zhou Buqi saw it.

Most of the girls who study computers are not very good-looking. It's not easy for a girl who is technically talented and beautiful to appear. Which male student in the whole grade doesn't like it?

It's a pity that girls like Zhou Feng who is a top student.

Wang Xiaozhou said very seriously: "Now, Zhou Feng has not officially entered the job yet, and he is communicating with NetEase. There are also many invitations from the United States, and he is making choices. Once NetEase is too sincere, he may really formally I'm employed."

Once you graduate, you will be able to get the position of senior vice president at Netease. This is indeed a great sincerity.

It is equivalent to Ziweixing's treatment of Guo Pengfei.

Zhou Buqi was very moved, "What do you think?"

Wang Xiaochuan said: "Hurry up and act! I'll find a few classmates to come out together. The company will also act. There will be no delay for public or private affairs."

"What should I do with Youdao? Didn't he create it all by himself? Don't you want to..."

"or……"

"Um?"

"Why don't we pay some money and buy Youdao in a package! Youdao's search market share is too low, so at least we have some technical reserves. It can be regarded as an explanation to NetEase."

Zhou Buqi was a little amused and shook his head.

I think this Wang Xiaozhou has personal motives.

The business that Zhou Feng started was acquired by him. What does this mean? Is he stronger than Zhou Feng? Prove yourself to that female classmate?

Zhou Buqi would definitely not do such a thing that might cause conflicts.

Moreover, Youdao has now become a brand, not only Youdao search, but also many other related products, which are highly repetitive with Weidian.

There is no need for any acquisitions in terms of business.

Wang Xiaochuan said: "The three major portals all have their own search engines. Sina launched iAsk, the founder is Cheng Binghao, and we have recruited them. Sohu launched Sogou and was acquired. If we can package Youdao Bring it here, and gather the three major search platforms..."

"What are you doing? Can you exchange for Shenlong if you gather together?"

"ah?"

Wang Xiaozhou didn't quite understand.

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, and said solemnly: "You are right, this Zhou Feng is indeed desirable. It is a waste of national resources to let him do the market in Netease. Let's do it now and poach him here! As for Youdao...we don't need!"

...

Zhou Buqi went to the airport.

Beside her was a quiet girl in a white dress and ponytail, it was Xue Baoshan.

Her mother is coming.

Zhou Buqi was a little nervous, "Sister Bao, Auntie... isn't she strict?"

"Ah?" Xue Baoshan covered her mouth and laughed, "Student Zhou, why are you nervous? Mom is the most gentle woman, I have never seen her lose her temper."

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "That's different. I took over her precious daughter. As a parent, can you not be angry. This feeling... Oh, anyway, I have a daughter now, so I can feel it."

Xue Baoshan pursed her lips and said, "No, I will help you speak well."

"What if...well, what if she really doesn't like me?"

"Aren't you confident?"

"I mean, what if Auntie really doesn't agree with us being together?"

"Then let's separate."

Xue Baoshan turned her head away, with a hint of disappointment flowing in her tone.

Zhou Buwei snorted heavily, took her hand, and said viciously: "No! I don't agree! Humph! You are mine, and no one can take it away!"

Xue Baoshan gritted her teeth lightly, "Anyway, Mom must agree. Without her support, I...I won't get along with you."

Zhou Buqi joked, "We sneaked around."

Xue Baoshan glared at him, "I don't."

Zhou Buqi chuckled, "Sneaky, how exciting?"

Xue Baoshan wrinkled her little nose and said softly: "Student Zhou, you are too mean, I will ignore you."

At this time, the passenger flow came.

The people who picked up the plane gathered around, waiting for the expected person.

Xue Baoshan's beautiful eyes were shining, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, her expression was soft, elegant and peaceful, like a quiet fairy flower.

Without saying a word, Zhou Buqi put his arms on her shoulders, hugged her, and declared his sovereignty.

"Mom is here!"

"Huh? Which one?"

"Which one is the red dress?"

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi was stunned, "So young?"

Xue Baoshan slightly raised her head and smiled sweetly, "Mom is not yet forty years old."

"oh……"

Zhou Buqi calculated silently.

Sister Bao is 21 years old this year.

Then... I rely on it!

Doesn't that mean that her mother may have been underage when she was born?

Oh shit!

Sister Bao's father, what a beast!
