¡°Oh, Rex, it¡¯s all your fault, our website crashed again.¡±
At night, as soon as Alvin saw Wang Lei, he kept complaining to him. It turns out that the "Face to Face" website crashed again today because Wang Lei dropped a bomb in the parliament in the morning. After the media reported it, many people logged on to "Face to Face" to visit his homepage in the evening. As a result, the website with insufficient bandwidth once again crashed. collapse.
This is not the first time. For more than a month, the traffic of the "face-to-face" website has increased rapidly, and it has crashed many times because it was overwhelmed.
Wang Lei and Alvin¡¯s original plan was to create a community website belonging to Braddock. As a result, this unique and simple social networking website quickly became popular. Not only did many Braddock residents become registered users, but some Media reporters who were following Braddock¡¯s movements also joined in.
Then, they discovered that this website seemed to be really good and could meet everyone¡¯s needs for establishing and maintaining social networks. Their joining gradually led more media reporters and people around them to become users of the website.
A reporter from the "Pittsburgh Tribune" even wrote an article on the technology section to introduce this website. It was this article that enabled "Face to Face" to usher in its first rapid development. The number of registered people exceeded 3,000, and the website also Started crashing frequently.
The "face-to-face" website initially used free space and bandwidth provided by the Internet service provider. As the number of users increased, the free space and bandwidth were no longer enough. During peak hours, the access speed of the website would become very slow. , if the traffic blows out in a short period of time, the website will crash and become inaccessible.
"Alvin, how many registered users and active users are there now?" Wang Lei looked at the website control background on Alvin's computer, an ftp software and background database. He also likes computers and the Internet, but not as much as Alvin. Be tech savvy.
Alvin used his mouse to draw out relevant data: "The growth rate of registered users is getting faster and faster. It used to be one or twenty a day, but this week it reached twenty or thirty a day. Today it has increased by more than a hundred. This is still a website." If the crash situation continues to grow, our users will soon exceed 10,000."
Wang Lei looked at the data for a while, then suddenly turned around and looked up at Alvin: "We have to make a decision."
"What?" Alvin looked at Wang Lei doubtfully. He was a technical man and seemed a bit slow in other aspects of things.
"Alvin, face-to-face development is definitely getting faster and faster. School starts next week. If we promote it, she will definitely be welcomed by her classmates, Woodland Hills High School, Junior High School, Wilkinsburgeven Pittsburgh middle schools and universities, think about it, how many more users will our website add?" Wang Lei used his hand gesture to show Alvin the "face to face" user group.
"Everyone has the need to socialize. After our community revitalization plan was proposed, there were voices of praise everywhere, even if some people questioned my age and qualifications. It is the same face to face, he will be welcomed by more people, you know, The Internet is so big that we can't imagine it. It is a completely different world. Remember Yahoo? It was just a navigation website to help people find web addresses at the beginning, but they now have hundreds of millions of users, and they also have this potential face-to-face. "
Wang Lei stared at Alvin with stern eyes. This was his intuition. The Internet has brought about two main changes to people. One is more convenient information acquisition, and the other is more comprehensive contact and communication. After being satisfied face to face, She is unique and can grow into a towering tree according to the needs of the reader.
The initial development of the website also illustrates this point. As long as people come into contact with this website, almost all of them will join it hopelessly, and then call their friends and build their social network online, so that the users of the website will snowball. Continuously develop and grow.
"Yahoo?" Alvin was stunned by Wang Lei's words. As a computer technology enthusiast, Alvin also envied the good luck of Jerry Yang and David Filo, as well as their efforts and vision, and regarded them as Occasionally, he even imagined that he could do the same thing.
But that¡¯s just a dream, not a goal.
Alvin didn¡¯t really think that he could one day create a new Yahoo.
"Rex, that won't work, we have no money, we still have to go to school"
¡°Yes, we have no money and we still have to go to school, so those people say it¡¯s nonsense for me to run for office and I will definitely fail.¡±?But what about the result? "Wang Lei stared at Alvin and spoke quickly about his campaign for mayor.
Alvin opened his mouth. As a technical man, his reaction was always a beat slower than others. Now he couldn't react at all.
"But, that's just Braddock."
"Yes, that's just Braddock. And what we are facing now is the Internet. What is the Internet? That's where the miracle is born. Jerry Yang and David Filo can do it, why can't we? As for money, That¡¯s not a problem, as long as it¡¯s popular face-to-face, we can easily attract venture capital, you know, they are particularly interested in the Internet.¡±
Wang Lei suddenly stretched out his hands and grasped Alvin's shoulders: "Alvin, nothing is impossible, impossible is nothing! Do you remember what we said?"
Alvin nodded blankly: "I remember, but"
"No buts" Wang Lei interrupted Alvin rudely: "This is an excellent opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In the past, we envied Yahoo and said they were so lucky. When I didn¡¯t understand the Internet, I built Yahoo, a website without any technical content. But now, Yahoo¡¯s market value has reached 30 billion, Yang Zhiyuan¡¯s personal wealth is also approaching 10 billion, and Yahoo has become the world¡¯s Internet leader. A website that everyone knows about.¡±
"But now, the same opportunity is right in front of us. Do you want to watch it slip away and wait until you graduate from college to lament that you didn't seize the opportunity and regret it for the rest of your life?"
Alvin's breathing became heavier and heavier, but his eyes gradually brightened, and then he nodded vigorously: "Yes, I also think that 'face to face' has a bright future, but we face too many difficulties. It only has a few thousand users, and it crashes frequently. If the number of users becomes more and more, it will be difficult for it to continue, and everyone will abandon us"
"Alvin, you only need to be responsible for the technology, and I will do the other things. We are the combination of Yang Zhiyuan and David Filo. We are going to build another "face-to-face" empire." Wang Lei patted him happily. Alvin's shoulders became more positive because of his change in attitude.
Of course, he also knows that Alvin¡¯s personality is more suitable for technology. If he is put in charge of business operations, he will definitely be at a loss.
Just like the combination of Jerry Yang and David Ferro, Ferro is introverted, likes to meditate, and is good at sitting in front of the computer to organize information, while Jerry Yang has an active personality and is the leader of the club. One of them is responsible for technology, and the other is responsible for Business, cooperation and tacit understanding.
He and Alvin are also such a combination, and he has unshirkable responsibility for operational matters.
The thought of being able to create an empire like Yahoo made Wang Lei's blood boil. He even had an idea whether he should resign as mayor of Braddock and concentrate on running this website. He believed that as long as he devoted himself wholeheartedly, Face-to-face will definitely develop faster and grow quickly.
However, he quickly killed this idea. To be the president of the United States was a dream he had had since he was a child. He would not give up, even if the temptation of success "face to face" with the empire was great, and the difficulties he had to face were too great. Maybe more than "face to face", he will never look back.
"Alvin" Wang Leigang wanted to continue to consolidate the effect of his persuasion and discuss the next plan and the details of the division of labor between the two, but he heard the voices of Emily and Luca.
We all made an appointment to come to Alvin's house in the evening to discuss homecoming matters and how to help Emily be elected queen. Wang Lei came a little early, and now is the time we made an appointment.
"Rex, you scared me to death. I met Udonis on the street just now, and he stopped me" Emily said coquettishly as soon as she entered the door and saw Wang Lei here.
"What!" Wang Lei stood up suddenly, rushed over to grab Emily's shoulders, and looked at her nervously: "What happened, Udunis didn't do anything to you, did he? I can't spare him."
