Chapter 403 Red Envelopes Are Coming
In the corridor of Donghai Tangren Film and Television Company, Cai Yinong and Hu Ge were about to push open the door of Yijie's office.
Suddenly, a very infectious laughter came from inside the house. It was obvious that the people in the house were immersed in joy at this moment.
The two knocked on the door and entered.
Liu Shishi's eyebrows were curved, and she was laughing so hard that she was bent over. Cai Yinong teased, "Shishi, even if you are planning a wedding, you shouldn't be so happy, right?"
"Sister K, Lao Hu, please take a seat!" Liu Shishi greeted them warmly with a smile on her face. "I was just watching a very interesting video skit."
Hu Ge sat down at his desk, looking curious: "What video are you watching so fascinated by?"
Yijie pressed the pause button with great interest and explained, "It's the video "Diaosi Men" that was posted on Toutiao some time ago. The content is a bit vulgar, but the jokes are very interesting."
"'Diaosi Nanren' is very popular. The first episode was viewed 8.2 million times in 24 hours, and netizens left more than 20,000 comments.
The show has a lot of car, fast-moving consumer goods and beauty ads embedded in it, and the commercial operation is quite successful." Cai Yinong added that she had previously studied "Diaosi Nanren".
I didn't expect that a 15-minute online mini-series could achieve such great success. It can only be said that under the wave of Internet innovation, the film and television industry is undergoing unprecedented changes.
This aroused Hu Ge's interest: "Then I have to find time to take a look."
Liu Shishi realized it later and asked, "Old Hu, aren't you filming "Chinese Partners"? Has the crew finished filming?"
"My part is not as big as Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao, and I have already finished filming."
"Congratulations, another masterpiece has been completed."
Hu Ge shook his head slightly and said with emotion: "I gained a lot from filming "China Partners" this time. Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao are indeed talented male stars who have been famous for a long time.
He seems humorous and easygoing on weekdays, but once he gets into filming, his acting skills are far more explosive than mine. So after the promotion of "Xuan-Yuan Sword" is over, I plan to go to the East China Drama Center to continue to hone my acting skills."
"Old Hu, you are going to perform in a play again. I will go to support you some other day. Sister K, has the release date of Xuan-Yuan Sword been set?"
"Well, it's scheduled to be broadcasted on July 10th on Hunan Satellite TV's Golden Eagle Exclusive Theater."
Sister Yi tilted her head playfully and said, "Now that I'm busy with the promotion of Xuan-Yuan Sword, I won't have much work to do later, right?"
"If you don't take on any acting jobs, you'll naturally have more free time." Cai Yinong smiled bitterly, feeling secretly worried.
In the second half of the year, Tangren's No. 1 actress will focus on preparing for her wedding; No. 1 actress is determined to devote herself to drama, so the company can only place its hopes on new generation actors such as Nazha, Jiang Jinfu, and Lin Gengxin.
"I almost forgot to congratulate you, Shishi. Happy wedding!"
Cai Yinong also asked enthusiastically: "Do you need help with wedding preparations?"
The first sister smiled and said, "With a professional wedding planner to take care of it, my husband and I don't have to worry too much."
Upon hearing this, Cai Yinong asked casually, "The wedding was widely discussed online a few days ago. Have the bridesmaids and best men been decided?"
"The bridesmaids have been decided. As for the best man, I don't know if my husband has made any arrangements?"
Hu Ge half-jokingly recommended himself: "If you are short of manpower, I will be Mr. Song's best man."
Yijie didn't think much about it. She and Hu Ge have been friends for many years: "I'll ask my husband if he has chosen the best man. Don't be too busy with work and forget about it."
After that, Liu Shishi picked up her phone and sent a WeChat video invitation. After waiting for a long time, no one responded. So she called instead, but still couldn't get through. She called several times in a row, but no one answered.
Normally, my husband carries his cell phone with him during the day. Even when he attends important meetings or foreign affairs receptions, he will give his cell phone to his secretary or bodyguard for safekeeping.
Surprised, Liu Shishi quickly called her husband's secretary, and this time the call was connected quickly.
"Hello, ma'am."
"Is the gentleman in the company? I have not been able to contact him today."
Jian Ning immediately replied: "Madam, Director Song is in the company today and is attending an important meeting.
Because this is an internal confidential meeting, all participants must hand in their cell phones. If you want to contact him, you need to wait until the meeting is over. If you have an emergency, I can go to the meeting room to call him. "
When Liu Shishi heard that her husband had important matters to attend to, she quickly replied, "Don't bother him."
Sister Yi spread her hands and said, "He's in a meeting. I'll ask him when I have time another day."
"Mr. Song, it's urgent."
After a few words of small talk, the three of them got down to business. With less than a month until the release of "Xuan-Yuan Sword", Tangren Films is about to launch a full-scale publicity campaign.
Cai Yinong has high hopes for "Xuan-Yuan Sword", hoping that it can replicate the ratings myth of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III" and "Startling by Each Step" and lead Tangren Film and Television to new heights.
After more than half an hour of discussion, the three of them finalized the publicity plan. On the one hand, they launched publicity on major Internet platforms, and at the same time, they held several offline fan meetings, promoting the film simultaneously through online and offline linkage.
Everything was confirmed. Cai Yinong was about to get up and leave when he suddenly remembered something: "Shishi, I received cooperation invitations from two jewelry brands yesterday. They want to sponsor the jewelry and gold ornaments for your wedding with Mr. Song."
"My wedding does not need any brand sponsorship!" Liu Shishi waved her hands impatiently. If the wedding of Asia's richest man still needed brand sponsorship to provide gold, silver and jewelry, it would simply be a disgrace to the whole world.
Cai Yinong nodded quickly: "I understand. I will reject them for you."
"Ms. K, which jewelry brands have sent invitations?"
"Cartier, Bulgari, Tiffany, Piaget... basically all the world's top luxury jewelry brands have expressed their intention to cooperate, as well as domestic brands such as Chow Tai Fook and Chow Tai Seng."
Liu Shishi thought for a moment and said, "Sponsorship is really not necessary, but if you have any nice jewelry styles, you can send me the pictures and I will pick a few sets to buy."
Cai Yinong responded: "Okay, I'll ask the brand to send me some jewelry samples."
At the same time, Song Ci was presiding over an important meeting in the company's confidential conference room.
The lineup of participants was strong, including the new president of WeChat Wu Yi, President of Yifutong Lin Haifeng, as well as the heads of the cloud computing center and big data center, experts in online payment and security of Tenda Group, and a group of top technical personnel.
Mr. Billionaire sat in the main seat, looking solemn: “WeChat red envelopes will completely change the payment habits and social methods of Chinese people.
It is destined to become an important milestone in the development of mobile payment and Internet financial technology, and its value to the entire group's business landscape is immeasurable.
Therefore, in the second half of the year, the group will deploy its best talents to develop WeChat red envelopes.”
Wu Yi looked solemn. This was the first strategic task he had taken over as the president of WeChat, and there was no room for error.
If he succeeds, he will secure his position as president of the core department of the group. If he fails, he will probably have to pack up and leave.
He immediately stated: "Don't worry, Mr. Song, I am willing to sign a military order and guarantee that the development of WeChat red envelopes will be completed within half a year."
Song Ci nodded slightly. He was quite satisfied with Wu Yi's firm attitude, but the key to the project was not here.
He cast his eyes towards a technician and said seriously, "Mr. Zhang, the essence of a red envelope is a transfer of funds.
You are a top expert in the field of online payment. I would like you to lead the technical part of this project. If you need any help, please let me know. "
Zhang Ke, Chief Technology Officer of Yifutong, pushed up the frame of his glasses that had slid down his nose a little, and responded calmly, "Mr. Song, as the saying goes, one person's plan is short, but everyone's plan is long.
The WeChat red envelope project is huge, and I don’t have any ideas on how to complete it at the moment. Please allow me to discuss it with Engineers Li and Tang.”
Song Ci nodded and agreed to the request.
Zhang Ke immediately turned to the team and said, “Everyone, we are focusing on the core technical requirements of WeChat red envelopes.
According to Mr. Song’s plan, when users open red envelopes, the red envelope amount deduction and account funds entry must be atomic, and any separation of the links may lead to financial risks.
Zhang Ke's speech, which was very inspiring and to the point, instantly ignited the enthusiasm for discussion in the conference room, and the technical team members expressed their opinions on key issues.
“No matter how high the concurrency is, the amount that has been robbed and the amount that remains must always be kept accurate and in real time.”
"Yes, we absolutely cannot allow the phenomenon of people grabbing more red envelopes after they have been distributed.
The money is not fully distributed but it is shown as missed, or the amount is calculated incorrectly. This is related to the product's reputation and user trust."
"When multiple users grab the same red envelope at the same time, the processing needs to be isolated to avoid problems such as dirty reads and phantom reads that may cause errors in the amount."
Song Ci listened attentively and emphasized from time to time: "The consistency of fund security and business logic must be guaranteed to be zero error. This is the lifeline of WeChat red envelopes."
After intense brainstorming, Zhang Ke had a sudden inspiration: "The key to overcoming these technical difficulties lies in adopting a distributed transaction solution or carefully designing a local transaction reconciliation mechanism..."
Li, an engineer from the Big Data Center, immediately responded: "I agree, what Mr. Zhang said is very true.
The underlying logic of the database must adopt strong consistency. At the same time, a full-chain fund reconciliation system is built to ensure that every penny can be traced. "
With everyone contributing, the idea gradually became clearer, and Zhang Ke suddenly had a bright idea for development: "Okay, let's use the TCC model to solve the first problem."
Engineer Tang from the Cloud Computing Center proposed a new challenge: "Ultra-high concurrency and extremely low latency are more difficult to solve than security issues on site.
According to the chairman's description of the application scenario, during the peak period of the Spring Festival red envelope, the number of user requests that poured in instantly was astronomical. The system needed to handle millions of concurrent requests for grabbing red envelopes, sending red envelopes, and querying per second.
And the delay from the user clicking “Open Red Packet” to the result being displayed must be controlled within milliseconds, otherwise the user experience will be extremely poor.”
At this time, Song Ci tapped the table lightly and said loudly: "I approve you to use the Tianwen-1 supercomputer to conduct a million-level concurrent extreme stress simulation test."
Tianwen-1 is a supercomputer built by Tenda Group at an investment of 1.5 billion yuan in the East China Sea Cloud Computing Center and Big Data Center.
It consists of 1.4 million processors and can provide 12 trillion floating-point operations per second.
It is usually used for large-scale distributed computing such as Tenda Group's core data processing and advertising optimization, and is currently the world's leading supercomputer.
Zhang Ke felt relieved. The chairman authorized the WeChat red envelope project to use the Tianwen-1 supercomputer. With its super computing power, the difficulty of project development would undoubtedly be reduced a lot.
Engineer Li excitedly proposed: "With the help of Tianwen-1 computing power, I think it is better to use sharding and strategic caching logic.
Mr. Tang, can cloud computing support automatic expansion of server architecture during peak hours? "
Tang Ze, chief engineer of the cloud computing center, is confident: "The group's cloud computing technology is world-leading, and the microservice architecture is elastically scalable enough to meet the changes in WeChat red envelope traffic at different times."
As a world-class Internet giant, Tenda Group is rich in talent and has outstanding technical strength.
After an intense collision of ideas, the core technical framework of WeChat red envelopes has taken shape, and only needs to be implemented step by step using algorithms.
Song Ci's eyes were sharp: "WeChat red envelopes integrate high concurrency, financial-level security, real-time computing and payment systems, which requires cross-domain collaboration. Mr. Zhang, how many people are needed to form a development team?"
Zhang Ke thought for a moment and responded: "Mr. Song, I have roughly calculated that if we want to successfully develop WeChat red envelopes before the end of the year, we will need a professional team of 20 to 25 people.
Among them, there are 3-4 front-end development engineers who are responsible for the red envelope sending and receiving interface, animation effects, and weak network compatibility optimization.
The back-end development requires 8-10 people, focusing on distributed architecture, red envelope algorithm implementation, and payment system docking.”
There are also payment and security experts... test and operation engineers... algorithm and data engineers... "
Zhang Ke had clear ideas and explained the staffing, core responsibilities and skills required by the personnel one by one.
Song Ci made a prompt decision: "Okay, I will assign the person you need to you within a week. Mr. Wu, Mr. Lin, you must do a good job in logistics support."
Then, he looked at the two group presidents and solemnly instructed: "Wait for me to find all the technical personnel that Zhang Gong needs, and they will all go to the Donghai Cloud Computing Center for closed development.
During this period, everyone needs to sign a confidentiality agreement, eat and live in the company, and the entire project information must not be leaked. "
Wu Yi and Lin Haofeng hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Mr. Song, we will do our best to escort the technical team."
"The success or failure of the WeChat red envelope project is related to the future layout of the group, so I'll leave it to you!" Song Ci took a deep breath. WeChat red envelopes are vital to the group.
Tenda is just one step away from becoming an Internet empire. As long as the project is successful, it will establish Tenda's absolute core position in financial technology life.
After the meeting, Song Ci retrieved his cell phone and saw the caller ID. He immediately called back: "Wife, the meeting just ended. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Liu Shishi's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone: "Husband, your meeting lasted more than four hours, remember to combine work and rest."
"Sometimes."
"It's nothing important, I just want to ask you, have you decided on the best man?"
Song Ci chuckled and replied, "We have just decided on Si Cong and A Hao, but I haven't thought of who to invite for the other two yet."
"I just talked about this with Sister K and Lao Hu. If you don't have a choice, Lao Hu can take over."
Song Ci didn't care too much about the best man selection and said readily, "Okay!"
Liu Shishi said tenderly: "Husband, I will go to the Magnolia Awards Ceremony tomorrow night and will be back the day after tomorrow. You take care of yourself!"
