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

Chapter 531: Secret War: Ali vs. the Other Shore (2)

In ancient times, when people were successful, they benefited the people; when they were unsuccessful, they cultivated themselves and showed themselves to the world. If you are poor, you can only improve yourself; if you are rich, you can benefit the world. - Mencius
Chen Mo knew clearly that Bi'an's current successful model could not be replicated because of the existence of him, an "outlier".

In the current environment where bad money drives out good money, blind imitators will only bring about their own destruction.

Because of this, there are only a few companies such as Mi'an Dongfeng Pangjiang that can stand out in the market today.

Whether it is Lei Jun, Liu Qiangdong, Wang Wei, Wang Tao, or Yu Donglai, they all possess extraordinary abilities or unique personal traits, or even both, which enables them to achieve the effect of good money driving out bad money like the other side.

If other small and medium-sized enterprises try to imitate Bi'an's model, they will only be crushed by their peers.

Therefore, whenever Chen Mo has free time recently, in addition to experiencing his own products (part of which is spent playing mobile games in the office), he has been summarizing and exploring a sustainable development model that is suitable for the win-win situation of all parties in China's corporate structure.

Of course, Chen Mo also has some selfish motives - he is "lazy", and these efforts are actually infrastructure projects he has laid to realize his ideal of being a "hands-off boss".

As the scale of Bi'an continued to expand and the number of employees increased, Chen Mo found that although he had delegated many tasks, he was still very busy.

As a worker, he hated overtime work, but now as a boss, in order to prevent his employees from being treated like beasts of burden, he has become the most competitive one.

From the initial "work five days and rest two days" to the current "revolving around the group seven days a week",
What was even more incredible to him was that he actually enjoyed it. Whenever he saw that Bi'an had become the company with the highest employee happiness on the Zhiyan platform, and walked around the company and saw the smiles radiating from the inside out of the employees, he would feel a sense of accomplishment.

Chen Mo realized that he needed to raise his standards for himself, that is, how to achieve a work schedule of "work two days and rest five days, 10 am to 5 pm" while keeping the overall situation unchanged.

In this way, he can leisurely eat hot pot, sing songs, travel with beautiful women, and occasionally deploy work remotely over the phone to ensure that the group operates efficiently within the established framework.

In fact, he had mentioned this idea to Lei Jun at a private dinner.

After listening to this, Lei Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Even if Bi'an grows bigger, how much can it cover? Do you know how many workers there are in the country now?"

Chen Mo knew what Lei Jun meant. He did not answer directly, but told a little story:

"I remember a short story in class. I can't remember the details, but the general idea is this:
On the beach after the storm, there were many small fish that were washed ashore and trapped in shallow puddles.

It won't be long before the water in the shallow puddles is absorbed by the sand and evaporated by the sun, and all the little fish will die.

A child saw this and ran over to pick up the small fish in the puddle and threw them back into the sea, one by one.
A passer-by saw this and laughed, "There are hundreds or thousands of fish in here, you can't save them all."

'I know. ’

'Then why are you still throwing? Who cares?'

'This one matters, this one matters, and this one, this one, and this one.'"

The story was not long and Lei Jun remained silent after listening to it.

He seldom drank alcohol, but he poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

After a long while, Lei Jun slowly spoke: "The reason why I have been successful in my life can be summed up in one word: 'hard work'. I study hard and work hard.

But when I was young, I didn’t think so. I always felt that I was self-important and that the world was unfair to me and owed me something.

Why is it that despite my hard work, my peers like Pony Ma, Robin Li, and Charles Zhang are all better than me? I don’t accept it.

Later, I understood the principle of "going with the flow". At that time, I thought it through. As the chairman of Kingsoft, I had already achieved financial freedom and I could speak without any hesitation.

But there are so many people who work harder than me, but are still struggling for a living and running around for their families.

I am so lucky."

Lei Jun paused and continued, “People often say that you should not advise others to be good unless you have experienced their suffering.

I don't know what you've been through before, Xiaomo, but you're more ambitious than I am, so just go for it boldly. Brother Jun is supporting you from behind, and Xiaomi is also a partner you can always rely on on the other side."

"Brother Jun, there's nothing much to say. This meal is on my table!"

"Do you have any shame? I was the one who paid for the dishes before. I'm sorry, the dishes we ordered today were so few."

Coming back to his senses, Chen Mo had a smile on his face. At least he was not alone on the road ahead.

Because of this, Chen Mo particularly dislikes Wang Xing of a certain group and Cheng Wei of a certain Didi.

Regardless of the past, present or future, the actions of a certain group made Chen Mo feel that the other party was truly "inhuman".

There is nothing wrong with making money, but others let the public experience the convenience brought by technology, while a certain group lets the public experience the dangers brought by technology.

There is also the guy named Cheng, who is birds of a feather. He even colluded with others to sneak into the market.
This is one of the reasons why Bi'an chose to launch a cyber war at the risk of certain risks even though it could have slowly worn down its opponent through a price war.

Just taking the five social insurances and one housing fund of Ele.me riders as an example, in order to reduce the financial pressure of riders, the personal part is paid entirely by the company. This move is enough to give competitors a headache.

But even so, it is not realistic to take Meituan away in one wave in a short period of time. It still takes time.

According to estimates by the Bi'an Data Department, it would take one to two years to completely establish victory through price war alone.

Because the number of riders depends on market share, if the market is not that big, the number of riders will be saturated.

There is a saying on the Internet: "Everyone says the other side is good, but everyone knows that the green ivy is difficult!"

The headquarters of the Bi'an Group currently has only 3 employees. Even if all branches are fully recruited in the next one to two years, the scale will only be .

Therefore, Chen Mo focuses on areas such as online car-hailing, food delivery, and group buying, because these industries cover more jobs and involve the food and clothing of millions of workers.

He would be content as long as he could radiate from the other side and make these practitioners live better than the groups he knew.

If you want to unilaterally shorten the tug-of-war with your competitors, you will inevitably have to take certain risks. Chen Mo believes that this risk is worth taking.

It now seems that the results are significant, and Ele.me's market advantage has become clear. The next step is to make a breakthrough in the travel sector.

Judging by the time, another goal of the juicer system should be completed soon.

But Chen Mo was not in a hurry to make the call. When he was in working mode, he hated being urged by others the most. So, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Let's talk about it in the evening. Anyway, the matter is not that urgent.

In the following time, Chen Mo browsed the public opinion dynamics on the Internet, and even interacted with netizens on a whim. At noon, Qi Mengmeng accompanied him to eat lunch in the office today, and then took a short lunch break.

In the afternoon, he attended several meetings, and when he came to his senses, the sun was already setting.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Mo took out his cell phone and called Xu Chaojun.

"How's the situation? How strong is the opponent? You guys too, it's been almost a day, and you're still not satisfied?
Stop when you are ahead. If things get out of hand, it will be hard to end. Be careful not to leave any tails.
Well, until 18:, three full days, the result has exceeded expectations.
Don't worry about one sheep rising and falling, don't we have another one? .
Is the other party evolving? Seeing how big Meituan has become, no one is stupid.
What about you? The plan remains unchanged? You guys are awesome.
In this case, let's do it next Monday. It will be a week, so it has a beginning and an end.
Everyone has worked hard during this period, and the group will distribute a bonus according to each person's rank.

In addition, I have arranged a few places. After the operation is over tomorrow, you can take everyone to relax and reward everyone for me. Just say that Mr. Chen will pay for tonight's consumption. Don't save money for me.
Don't be polite, this is what you deserve.

Oh, by the way, you can find an ordinary salesperson for our Kunlun Mirror defense system later, and then you can do this."

Behind the heated discussions in the media and among netizens, an invisible cyber offensive and defensive war is quietly unfolding.

Although this war does not involve swords and sabers, it is more thrilling and exciting. A struggle between a torrent of data and a steel dam is roaring deep in Meituan's computer rooms across the country.

As if they had discovered the existence of Alibaba's regular army, the "aliens" that had been lurking in Meituan's server began to awaken, and then "self-destructed" to form coordinate points.

If the visual distance is extended far enough, far enough to include the entire earth in the field of vision, then you will see that the current countless information flows are like intercontinental missiles, launching from all over the place and heading towards the coordinates just exposed, like water pouring back from the sky, launching wave after wave of attacks - this amount is equivalent to twice the peak of Taobao's Double Eleven last year.

This is the scene that has been visualized in the minds of everyone at Alibaba about this malicious attack, and it makes their scalps tingle.

During this period, due to abnormal fluctuations in a large number of local network requests, the emergency response mechanisms of the National Security Agency (NSA) (US), the National Cyber ​​Security Center (NCSC) (UK), and the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) (EU) were even triggered.

Afterwards, technical personnel from various countries conducted an investigation and found that it was a false alarm and the other party was just passing through. These institutions then watched from the sidelines as if nothing had happened and had nothing to do with the matter.

After all, it is clear that this global unified action is aimed at civilian computers and uses tens of thousands of units to carry out network attacks. It is obvious that there is a powerful hacker team behind it, and they are not afraid of the other side.

The reason for watching is that it is obvious that the other party's attack direction is not this side. If you make any action that is regarded as an attack intention by the other party, it will be superfluous and cause misunderstanding and become the target of attack.

Secondly, if the intervention leads to misunderstanding and it is discovered that there are other official backgrounds behind it, this will involve a diplomatic incident and bring unnecessary trouble to oneself.

In the end, these organizations even kindly acted as escort teams within their own territory to provide them with protection and give them a ride as a favor.
After discovering that he had triggered the other party's alarm, Duolong's fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard, leaving behind a series of afterimages.

After summarizing the data, he found that the attack traffic came from all over the world. His eyes suddenly focused and he said in a deep voice: "Xingdian, tell me the estimated time point when the peak will arrive!"

Xingdian was busy as hell, and without even looking up, he quickly responded: "It's expected to be completed in less than 3 minutes, and it may even be earlier!"

Duolong took a deep breath and quickly issued an order: "Everyone, pay attention! I will first divert the current malicious requests, activate the data nodes and Cloud Shield defense system in the six major regions of Alibaba, and prepare to fight back!"

"Report, East China has been diverted!" "South China has been diverted!" The voices of team members rose one after another.

Under the command of Duolong and Xingdian, the Alibaba team quickly mobilized computing power and resources, decided to take the offensive as defense, and launched a head-on confrontation with the opponent.

Looking at the cyber world that is invisible to the naked eye, in an instant, six beams of light shot up into the sky within the Chinese territory. They were the data torrents representing Ali, like six giant dragons soaring into the sky and gazing into the distance.

The Alibaba team soon discovered that after those "meteors" sensed their offensive intentions, they began to gather and merge like living things, forming an even larger data torrent.

With the resolute belief of dying together, both sides approached each other rapidly.
At a certain moment, contact!

An invisible ripple exploded and spread silently in the virtual world.

Two giant dragon-like torrents collided with each other, and the parts that touched instantly collapsed and melted, turning into countless fragments of 0s and 1s, like stars annihilated in the network.

There was no warm-up for this war. It started with a white-hot confrontation that was extremely brutal.

As time passed, Alibaba's data flow gradually declined.

For Alibaba's special operations team, every second was extremely long. They had never seen such a strong cyber attack before.

Duolong stared at the rising and red data indicators on the monitoring panel. Sweat slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground, making a "tick, tick" sound.

He realized that he had made a mistake - there was nothing wrong with the strategy of attacking instead of defending, but he misjudged a key point: they were now in Meituan, not Alibaba's headquarters.

This means that they not only have to resist the opponent's network attack, but also have to take into account the stability of Meituan's server cluster, which is a two-line battle.

Although the resources they mobilized were sufficient to cope with the high concurrency scenarios of last year's Double Eleven, and could even last for an hour, the situation this time was completely different.

The attack traffic from all over the world poured down like a galaxy from outer space, with no bottom in sight. Instead of weakening, its intensity grew stronger over time.

In less than half an hour, the Alibaba team felt it was difficult to continue and even had the illusion that they were "at war with the world."

This can't go on any longer, Doron thought.

"We can't go on like this!" Duolong thought to himself.

At this time, Xing Dian spoke up: "The opponent is too fierce, let's activate the cloud shield and switch to defense!"

Duolong nodded and gave a decisive order: "Everyone, please pay attention. Activate the Cloud Shield defense system and enter defense mode!"

"understand!"

The next moment, with the reinforcement of Cloud Shield, the data centers in Alibaba's six major regions seemed to have opened a solid protective shield to resist wave after wave of data floods.

The scene was like the Qiantang River's raging tide hitting the flood control embankment, one wave after another rising, splashing layers of ripples and waves on the protective shield, fortunately temporarily blocking the opponent's attack.

Meituan’s server cluster was temporarily saved. Duolong and Xingdian breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and then looked at each other, seeing shock in each other’s eyes.

They had never seen such a powerful hacker team. They were decisive, disciplined, had huge resources, and were extremely mysterious. Even if some of the top hackers were gathered together, they would not be able to match their strength.

However, the good times did not last long.

Not long after, Xingdian's phone rang - it was his deputy at Alibaba headquarters calling.
"What? Okay, you guys must hold on. I'll handle it right away." Xing Dian hung up the phone in a hurry with a serious expression.

"What's wrong?" Duolong asked, feeling something was wrong.

“Taobao.”
