Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 528: Juicing, Do Not Disturb
Through the map software, we can see that the Fifth Ring Road in Beijing has gradually changed from its original yellow to a congested dark red.

This period of time is the peak time for takeout and group buying, and the hustle and bustle of the city reaches its peak at this time.

At a Xiabu Xiabu hotpot restaurant in Beijing, the door was already filled with waiting customers.

For ordinary office workers in Beijing, Haidilao, with an average cost of over 100 yuan per person, provides warm and thoughtful service, but they can only indulge themselves occasionally, and they may not even be able to eat their fill.

Xiabu Xiabu has won the favor of a large number of urban consumers with its unique "one person, one pot" model and affordable prices, forming a clear differentiated competition with traditional hotpot brands such as Haidilao.

There is always a long line in front of the store at dinner time every evening, and it is even more crowded on weekends.

At this time, a young couple came in with a call list.

The waiter came forward with a smile: "Hello, this way please. You can order by scanning the WeChat QR code on the table."

The boy took out his phone and said proudly, "We bought a 59-yuan meal for two from Meituan."

The waiter nodded, already accustomed to it: "Okay, please show me the QR code and I'll help you check it out."

The boy opened the Meituan App, lowered his head and operated it for a few times, then handed it to the waiter. After the latter scanned the code, he suddenly frowned and said, "Hey, why does it say that the coupon code is incorrect?"

The girl came over to take a look and asked in confusion: "Is it a network problem?"

Seeing this, the waiter quickly said, "We have WiFi in our store, the password is xiabuxiabu, would you like to try it?"

The boy connected to the WiFi and tried again, but it still didn't work. He muttered madly, "What a crappy software, it fails at the critical moment!"

The girl pulled his sleeve and comforted him softly, "Don't worry, don't let this matter affect our mood. I remember that the Meituan coupons can be refunded. How about we try another group purchase?"

The boy smiled awkwardly at the waiter: "Uh, let's take a look first, and we'll call you when it's ready."

The waiter nodded and responded politely: "Okay, no rush, take your time." Then he turned around to greet other guests.

The girl looked down at the menu and sighed, "Hey, this Xiabu Xiabu set meal for two is originally priced at 198, the group purchase price is 118, and the Meituan discount is only 59. No wonder it's so cheap."

The boy sighed: "Yeah, it's a pity that it can't be used. It's true that cheap things don't get good things. Forget it, let's just order directly."

“That’s so expensive.”

The girl thought about it, her eyes lit up and she suggested, "Didn't the Internet say that Ele.me also had discounts a while ago? How about we give it a try?"

The boy smiled and scratched his girlfriend's nose: "Xiaomei, you still know how to live."

The girl smiled and said, "Of course, I'm an expert at saving money."

Half an hour later, the waiter continued to serve customers outside the door with a professional smile on his face.

"Hello, is this a group purchase? I suggest you use Ele.me, the price is similar to Meituan, just one dollar more expensive.
The main reason is that Meituan seems to have some problems and cannot be used now.
How do I know this so clearly? Well, maybe it’s because of experience.

Of course, you can also scan the QR code to order directly. ”

After a while, the waiter said a few words to his colleagues and went to the toilet.

When he came back, he found several Meituan riders in yellow clothes arguing with the clerk at the door of the next store.

On the other hand, the Ele.me riders in blue and white clothes seemed extremely busy, picking up and delivering meals, going left and right as if they were on a cursory tour, as if they were completely unaffected.

Tonight is destined to be an unusual night for Meituan’s users and riders.

Many people suddenly discovered that the Meituan and Meituan Takeout apps became extremely strange - the system responded quickly, but it just couldn't be used normally.

Either the group purchase voucher QR code is wrong or the meal pickup code is wrong. Some impatient users even choose to uninstall and reinstall, only to find that the problem persists after logging in again, with no improvement.

What’s even more confusing is that not all people around me who use Meituan are like this: some use it normally, but some make frequent mistakes, as if they are trying their luck or buying lottery tickets.

Some people lost their patience, cursed inwardly, and simply uninstalled Meituan and chose to place orders with its alternative Ele.me.

Another group of people remained angry and clicked on Meituan’s customer service button to start firing.
At the same time, in Qingteng College.

A heavily guarded classroom, with a sign at the door that reads something incomprehensible, "Juicing, do not disturb!"

Inside the door, Xu Chaojun's voice rang out.
"Each of them will report on the current implementation status."

"The torrent system has been activated as planned, and the seed program has been released."

"The Yinbing module in the seed program has been loaded and has begun to invade the other party's business system... The current data disguise success rate is 99.92%."

"The black hole system has been activated synchronously and has invaded the other party's customer service center. Two-way interference interception is in progress..."

"The Skynet system is currently at the peak of its activity, with a contamination rate of 33.42 percent, and is expected to reach the 27 percent target in 32 minutes and 50 seconds."

"The snow-leaving cleaning work has been initiated and the traces are being erased. All Meituan employees have been added to the whitelist, but there is a problem: the server hardware cannot be forcibly intervened, and abnormalities at the hardware level may be detected by the other party..."

Xu Chaojun sat in the command center, his fingers typing quickly on the keyboard, checking the operating indicators and data of various systems.

After hearing the report, he pondered for a moment and replied: "Don't touch the hardware for now. Our main goal this time is to delay the other party's perception and buy time."

"Boss, how long will it take?"

"Of course the longer the better. As for how long it will take, it depends on our abilities and the abilities of our opponents."

Xu Chaojun thought about it and decided to set a goal for these guys: "This weekend, it would be best if the other party didn't notice it."

"Just wait and see!" Some people rolled up their sleeves, full of confidence.

Although the juicer system was already ready, they still had some tricks that they hadn't used yet. It was just that the opponent's regular troops hadn't entered the field yet, so everyone was just warming up.
Line 5, a subway train speeds from south to north.

"The next stop is Huilongguan Station. Please get off from the left door and pay attention to the platform gap."

Hearing the prompt tone, a man carrying a backpack silently followed the crowd and moved to the door.

The subway slowly stopped, and the announcement sounded again: "We have arrived at Huilongguan Station. Please get on and off the train in an orderly manner."

The door opened, people inside were in a hurry to get out, and people outside were in a hurry to get in. The man with the backpack was almost squeezed back into the car by the crowd of people because he was sitting at the back.

Fortunately, at the last moment, he finally struggled out of the crowd and breathed a sigh of relief.

This man is Meituan’s operations manager. It was a rare day that he didn’t have to work overtime, so he thought he could go home and rest early.

However, just as he was about to leave the station, his cell phone rang urgently.

The call at this time made him feel depressed. He took out his phone and saw that it was indeed a call from his boss.

He struggled for a moment, but as an operation and maintenance personnel, it is his duty to be on call 7 hours a day, 24 days a week.

Not to mention now, even if it was late at night, he had to answer the phone, otherwise if something went wrong, no one would be able to take the responsibility.

He pressed the answer button helplessly: "Hello... Boss, I'm almost home. What's the matter?... Okay, got it, I'll be right back."

After hanging up the phone, the man sighed and muttered, "Who is the kind person who is still online on a Friday? Now that something has gone wrong, they ask us to clean up the mess."

Despite all his complaints, he still turned around and started his journey back.

The only thing to be thankful for was that he hadn't left the station yet, saving 2 yuan for the subway ticket. Not long after, on the subway to Xi'erqi, passengers saw a man squatting in the corner of the carriage, typing away on his laptop...

Half an hour later, the man finally returned to the office, took out his laptop, and reported to his direct supervisor the abnormal situation he had found on the subway.

"I just saw on the subway that all indicators of our server are abnormally high. This is very abnormal."

The leader nodded and said, "I know that. I just noticed that the server was fluctuating abnormally, so I immediately asked the technical support staff on the business side. But they said the data was better than usual and they didn't find any problems."

“Any feedback from the operations department?”

"Operation has not come to a conclusion yet. It will take some time. So I called you back to confirm if there is any problem."

"Okay, I'll check it right away."

After a while, the man found that it was not just him. More than 50 of his colleagues had returned, accounting for % of the total operation and maintenance staff. The office gradually became busy.

Haha, what the boss said was just bullshit.

Time passed by little by little, and in a blink of an eye it was 11 o'clock in the evening.

The operations manager frowned and asked, "Still haven't found the reason?"

The crowd shook their heads.

This was the first time these people encountered this strange problem, and it was difficult to determine whether it would affect the business.

"The hardware indicators are indeed higher than usual, but after checking, I really can't find any reason..."

The manager pointed at the supervisor and said, "That's it for today. Before you leave, please give me an analysis report. I need it to be reported."

The supervisor nodded in agreement, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart, because the problem this time was too similar to the one reported by one of his employees a few days ago, except that it was on a larger scale.

He hesitated and finally said nothing. He knew that if he raised the issue openly, the only consequence would be being asked "why didn't you report it in time last time?"

If things get out of hand, I will definitely be the one taking the blame.

If we don't mention it, it will become a case of not holding everyone accountable and everyone will live in peace.

The only headache now is how to write this investigation report.

It depends on what the manager means. It must comply with the actual situation of the investigation and meet the demand of "nothing happened".

After all, it’s the weekend, who wants to work overtime?

Besides, haven't the business, operations and customer service all reported that there is no problem? Then why should I worry about it?
That night, when Wang Huiwen saw the daily data, he felt something was wrong. Although it was gratifying that the business data had reached a new high, there were surprisingly few complaints, which was obviously not in line with common sense.

But he thought again and felt that it made sense. After all, the 5% discount greatly increased consumers' tolerance, so some minor problems would be turned a blind eye.

Just like mobile phones priced at 2000 yuan and 5000 yuan, users are obviously more tolerant of the former.

What Wang Huiwen didn’t know was that in the outside world, both the Meituan app and Meituan Takeout had already been in an uproar.

Come Saturday.

Countless loyal users of Meituan have changed their minds, including a large number of media professionals.

Their daily lives have been affected, and out of professional sensitivity, when they first discovered problems with Meituan, their reactions were surprisingly consistent: There’s work!
A few hours later, reports came out one after another.

As you can tell from the title, these media people are using all their skills, no skills, just emotions:

Billions of dollars in financing "can't feed the technology"? Meituan's application failure exposes the strategic cracks of "focusing on business and neglecting technology"

"It collapsed just after receiving the money! Meituan was mocked for its "financing slap in the face" because it couldn't use it"

"Welfare is soaring, technology is running naked": Meituan's collapse is "cut off from the bottom of the pot"

"Meituan doesn't need users, only investors?" The outage incident triggered a crisis of trust

"Meituan's failure "stuck" the media: the dilemma of digital dependence behind emotional complaints"

Longjing Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou.

In an elegant business club, Lao Ma was discussing state affairs and chatting happily with several members of the Jiangnan Club.

Suddenly, the assistant quietly walked up to him, bent down and whispered something in his ear. Lao Ma still kept smiling, but his eyes fixed and he nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Then he calmly finished the current topic and took the opportunity to stand up: "You guys continue chatting, I'll make a phone call."

Walking into the private lounge next door, Lao Ma immediately called the nicknames Xingdian and Duolong.

He gave a few brief instructions on the phone, asking them to quickly gather the technical experts within the group and deploy a response plan in case of any unexpected events.

Duolong: Employee number 16, one of the core figures of Alibaba’s technical team. From his employee number, we can tell that his seniority is second only to the “Eighteen Arhats”. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a loyal follower of the dragon.

He has been responsible for the research and development and optimization of the underlying technical architecture and core systems. He currently leads the technical architecture of core e-commerce platforms such as Taobao and Tmall, and is a senior technical expert of the group.

Xingdian: Employee number 1493, the backbone of Alibaba's technology system. When Alibaba Cloud was on the verge of dissolution, he turned the tide and promoted the implementation of cloud computing and big data technologies in e-commerce business. He is a key figure in the rise of Alibaba Cloud.

The reason why Lao Ma urgently summoned these two generals was because he smelled a hint of something unusual from the assistant's few words. As a long-time businessman, he keenly realized that there might be a conspiracy behind this.

In just a few breaths, he already had a guess in his mind.

After all, in the limited "exchanges" with Chen Mo, Lao Ma had already experienced the other party's wolfish ambitions, and there was a familiar atmosphere in it.

Although the Bi'an Group is generous to its users and treats them as its own breadwinners, it is never soft on its competitors. As long as it can't kill them, it will beat them to death - this is Chen Mo's usual style.

The Alibaba Cloud team was poached by the other party, and even Wang Jian was poached away, all thanks to this person.

Today, riding on the momentum of the Belt and Road Initiative, Bi'an Cloud makes a lot of money every year. Whenever he thinks of this, Ma still feels angry - these should have been Alibaba's revenue!
Logically, as the largest investor in Meituan, Ma should have called Wang Xing to remind him of the risks or ask if he needed help, but on second thought, he decided to sit on the sidelines for the time being.

This may be an opportunity - an opportunity to completely remove Wang Xing's "pride".

He can stay out of other businesses invested by Alibaba and just invest money without having a say, but this is not the case with Meituan.

Because Meituan has the attributes of local life, it will be a powerful tool for Taobao to connect online and offline and carry out local life.

Local life (such as takeout and group buying in-store) and fresh food (such as grocery shopping and fresh food delivery) are high-frequency demands in users' daily lives. By entering these areas, Alibaba can build a more complete ecosystem, enhance user stickiness, and improve market competitiveness.

But to achieve this, Lao Ma does not allow any second voice to exist!
Therefore, he has been coveting Meituan, his younger brother, for a long time.

However, it is not a good deal if you are the one who is eager to help. Instead of taking the initiative to show goodwill, it is better to wait for the other party to ask for help.

In addition, Lao Ma has a deeper plan: send out Cheng Dian and Duo Long to see if they can catch the "little tail" named Chen.

He doesn’t care what Meituan is like;

But with this arrangement, Alibaba will definitely not lose out!
