Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Wang Jian knows more people. He is a man who leapfrogged all the way to kill monsters and became the head of the department at the age of 32. The standard template for the protagonist of an online novel, and an Alibaba cloud made him famous. However, as the first academician of a private enterprise Wang Jian was always treated as a liar just like Ma Yun.

As for why Wang Jianhui has always been regarded as a liar, to put it bluntly, it is because he has a Ph.D. in industrial psychology, and his research direction is human-computer interface. Even less aware of the value of this profession.

Many years later, everyone realized that industrial psychology is actually a key subject in the development of future machines and a core subject in how to make machines efficient.

Therefore, Wang Jian’s views on the future of artificial intelligence and the future of cloud may indeed be different from that of ordinary people. When the public does not understand something, it is not a lie. At that time, Ma Huateng and Robin Li were included. A group of domestic bigwigs have expressed in public that they are not optimistic about cloud computing, and even look down on cloud computing.

Not to mention domestic, when Amazon launched the AWS public cloud platform, there were doubts all over the world.

Meng Qian arrived at Wang Jian's house half an hour later, Wang Jian warmly invited Meng Qian to take a seat, "What would Mr. Meng drink?"

"White water is good." After a brief glance around, Wang Jian's house is not big, but it is very clean.

Wang Jian went to the kitchen to fetch the kettle and teacups, and poured Meng Qian a glass of boiled water.

"Dr. Wang, I've been thinking about the concept you mentioned since I went back this afternoon." Meng Qian took the teacup and started talking directly, showing his desire, "I didn't quite understand what you said at first, but I suddenly realized that there was a company around me that was doing something similar."

"Dingding!" Wang Jian gave the answer subconsciously.

"It seems that I have followed Dr. Wang's thoughts." Meng Qian smiled self-effacingly on purpose.

Wang Jian hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Mr. Meng is being modest. I remember Mr. Song from DingTalk said in an interview before that Mr. Meng proposed that DingTalk liberate the company to build its own server."

"After all, I'm a major shareholder. Lao Song deliberately promoted me to gain my popularity." Meng Qian joked, "Actually, everyone came up with this idea at the time. I just thought of the company Salesforce, so I mentioned it. In a word, the real implementation depends on Lao Song and the others themselves.”

Salesforce is a software giant in the United States. In 2001, it launched the first SaaS model CRM system, becoming the world's first truly modern SaaS company.

"But now DingTalk can only implement the simplest and most basic functions. For a slightly more complicated system, companies need to build their own environment. And as far as I know, this is also DingTalk's profit model." Wang Jian raised the problem.

"Yes, the limitations of the network, hardware and software are all objective factors, but because of this, I suddenly wondered if we can break through the limitations of the network, software and hardware? Over the years, the development of distributed computing is Affecting changes from systems to databases and even chips, I have done in-depth research on distributed computing, and I think distributed computing is likely to promote the development of software services.

You should also know that the main business of Dafeng Group is still on the software side, so we have spent a lot of energy on software services, including infrastructure services, platform services, and software services. We have invested a lot Great research and development energy, but I always feel that I have missed a certain link, I can't tell what it is, until today, Dr. Wang, your words opened up my two veins of Ren Du and Du. "

"Boss Meng flattered me, I don't know which sentence it is?"

"Machines cannot be densely distributed all over the world, but the Internet can." Meng Qian looked straight at Wang Jian, "This reminds me of a sentence that John Gage, the co-founder of Sun Microsystems, said in 1988. In other words, the network is the computer."

"I know that sentence."

"Then how does Dr. Wang understand this sentence?"

"It is the network that links independent computers so that computers are no longer islands."

"Is it just a link effect?"

Wang Jian suddenly didn't understand, "What does Mr. Meng mean?"

"In recent years, we have always said that if we want to develop the countryside, what should we do first?"

"Rural development?" Wang Jian thought for a while and suddenly his eyes widened. "Build roads!"

Seeing that Wang Jian met his own thoughts again, Meng Qian felt a little more confident, "That's right, the premise of rural discovery is to build roads. Only with roads can we better transport rural products out, and the Internet is the same. Similarly, only when the computer is connected to the network can the products on the computer be sold better, which is much more convenient than using hardware to transmit.

The network is the same as the road, it is a product, oh no, more precisely, it is a channel for the transmission of resources. However, the efficiency of simple resource delivery is not high enough.

The reason why the efficiency of our human group life is high is because we have a large number of resource allocations at different levels, all kinds of calculations are resources in the final analysis, and the transfer of resources generates value, so at this time if we. "

Wang Jian took the initiative to answer the call, "If the enterprise can create a pool to gather resources and distribute resources through the network, then computer users can buy the resources they need at the clearly marked price just like we usually use water and electricity. For users, it is more affordable and convenient, and for enterprises, it means controlling computing resources!

Although it is unlikely, if you can directly monopolize computing resources, it will be the same as monopolizing energy! "

"That's right. I have been focusing on services for so many years. I have been thinking about how to transport resources. What I think is how to better move the resources from village A to village B. I have not started from the bigger picture. to think about it.

Now I understand that what I have to do is to gather all the resources of the village to me first, and then only need to create a platform to connect to users, so that users can come to my platform to purchase on-demand, I just need to focus Gather resources and build platforms.

If the emergence of computers is the first computer revolution, and the emergence of the Internet is the second computer revolution, then the realization of this thing is likely to become the third computer revolution in my opinion!

At this time, the construction of the platform is particularly important. If you want to build a better platform, you cannot simply do allocation actions, resource management, resource security, and resource scheduling. This can be extended to the development of big data and artificial intelligence. This is The future of the IT industry! "

Wang Jian’s expression is relatively calm, but his heart is already too excited. He also talked about similar thoughts with the company’s senior management when he was at Microsoft. He didn't take it seriously, but Meng Qian's performance was completely different. He understood, and he took it seriously!

Even, Meng Qian's understanding is actually higher than Wang Jian's to some extent. After all, he is a coward, and Wang Jian can feel this. Haven't seen that far yet.

Although the concept of cloud computing will be proposed in 2006, the development of cloud computing in the first few years is simple distributed computing, solving task distribution, and merging calculation results.

It is after 2010 to really take cloud computing seriously, understand clearly, realize the value of cloud computing, and realize the technologies involved in cloud computing. No matter how far-sighted Wang Jian is, he will not be more farsighted than Meng Qian. vision.

And Meng Qian's famous name, Wang Jian, has also heard of it. They all say that Meng Qian is a genius who can predict the future with exceptional precision. With such a reputation, Meng Qian's performance makes Wang Jian feel a little strange.

Just when Wang Jian's heart fluctuated but he didn't think about what to do, Meng Qian suddenly said, "Dr. Wang, come to Dafeng Group to help me with this thing!"

"Ah?" Wang Jian didn't react for the first time, and was instinctively stunned.

"Since we can see this future, and I believe that not many people in the world can understand this trend, of course we should do it immediately. What are you waiting for?"

"This..." Meng Qian's efficiency stunned Wang Jian. When he came back to his senses, his first reaction was that this is the legendary Meng Qian of Dafeng Group.

"I still remember that Dean Shen said today that your current Microsoft research direction is user interface and big data, but how much data can Microsoft Asia Research Institute provide you? Our Gale Group has instant messaging and games. Every day There is a huge amount of data.

Our life is short, why not challenge something more interesting? "

Wang Jian gradually got used to Meng Qian's attitude, and said seriously, "Mr. Meng doesn't need to evaluate it again?"

"I have already evaluated the foundation of the Dafeng Group, the reserves of the Dafeng Group, the current resources of the Dafeng Group, and the future goals of the Dafeng Group. I have already evaluated it. No one in this world knows the Dafeng Group better than me. It is certain that the Dafeng Group can and must do this matter.

I now need someone who has a clear direction, a shared vision and the ability to help me lead the team. To tell you the truth, I have never met anyone who understands me on this subject. "

Wang Jian suddenly felt that Meng Qian was very interesting. On the one hand, Meng Qian’s behavior was indeed his own character. On the other hand, from the interviews of later generations, it can be seen that Wang Jian’s character is that as long as he finds the direction, he will do what he says. Jumping from Microsoft to Ali back then was a snap. It took only one month from the first time I met Ma Yun to joining Ali. You know, there is still a handover period before resignation.

"This road is not easy." Wang Jian was already thinking about doing this.

"The Dafeng Group will not have an easy path to follow, but I dare to predict that the Dafeng Group will be greater than Microsoft sooner or later. Dr. Wang, come on."

Looking at Meng Qian's appearance, Wang Jian couldn't help laughing, and said uncontrollably, "Okay."
