Chapter 169: Xinya Cloud Computing Service (Please give me a recommendation vote)



The current Seoul Mayor Ko Seol congratulated Park Dong-ho and invited him to dinner to discuss the handover of the city government.

The conservatives obviously found it difficult to accept the defeat in this election. In fact, Park Dong-ho won 21 of the 25 districts in Seoul, but lost in the four wealthy districts of Gangnam, Seocho, Seongbuk and Yongsan.

This voting result also reflects the current political landscape of Seoul. Park Dong-ho has won the trust of ordinary citizens of Seoul, while the chaebols and wealthy people in Seoul have taken the initiative to express their alienation from Park Dong-ho. They obviously do not like the long-term rental apartment plan launched by Park Dong-ho.

The Grand National Party has expressed doubts about the election results calculated by the counting machine in this mayoral election and is preparing to file a lawsuit with the Supreme Court of South Korea, demanding a recount of the 2 million votes in the mayoral election.

Song Yi also heard the news. He did not think that a recount could change the current election results. The Seoul Election Commission, the New Millennium Democratic Party, and the Grand National Party all believed that this possibility was very small.

He called Park Dong-ho first, "Uncle Park, congratulations on your election as mayor of Seoul. I believe you must be very busy these two days, so I won't go over to cause trouble for you and Aunt Jin. Wait until Tae-hee and I come back from the United States, and then we will visit your home."

Park Donghao laughed when he heard it, "Song Yi, Song Yi, you are such a little rascal. Your Aunt Jin said that you and Tae Hee are always welcome to visit our home."

Park Dong-ho's wife, Kim Suk-jin, was a well-known vocal actor in the past. She has many connections in Korean society and she also made a lot of efforts in this election.

When Kim Tae-hee performed in the drama "Empress Myeongseong" at the Seoul National Art Troupe, Kim Suk-jin often went to the scene to support her. Park Dong-ho's daughter Park Da-hui also liked Kim Tae-hee very much.

Through this mayoral election, Park Dong-ho once again realized the important role of Song Yi. Without the long-term rental apartment plan suggested by Song Yi and the accurate prediction of Lee Guangxue's questions in the TV debate by the AI ​​of Xinya Network, he would not have been able to reverse the election after the TV debate and defeat the highly popular Lee Guangxue by an extremely narrow margin to be elected as the new mayor of Seoul.

The documentary "Hello, I'm Song Woo-seok" released on inschool helped Song Woo-seok become the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party in the new millennium, and AI's accurate predictions helped Park Dong-ho become the mayor of Seoul.

If Song Woo-seok wins the presidential election in December, Song Yi's influence in the Blue House will not be weaker than that of a department head.

What Park Donghao is worried about now is that Song Yi is helping him and Song Yuxi so much. What does Song Yi hope to get from them? If you want to get something, you must give it first. Park Donghao knows that Song Yi is a top investor. When other members of the Hyundai family are not optimistic about Park Donghao, Song Yi is still willing to support Park Donghao. I'm afraid that what Song Yi hopes to get from him is not just a small profit. Shortly after Song Yi's call ended, Secretary Jiang Xiu Na entered the office, "Ms. Tae Hee brought Song Miao to the company. The two of them are waiting for you in Executive Director Jin's office."

Song Yi was a little surprised. "If they are here, why not take them to my office? Why let them wait for me in Xiyuan's office?"

"Ms. Tae Hee said she was worried about disturbing you at work, so she asked me to wait until you were done with your work before notifying you." Jiang Xiu Na replied.

After Song Miao saw Song Yi, he stopped fiddling with the Rubik's Cube in his hand and acted coquettishly to Song Yi, "Uncle, you haven't played with me these days."

Jin Xiyuan smiled, "Miao Miao is right. No matter how busy you are at work, you should spend more time with your family. Miao Miao is unfamiliar with Seoul, and even with Tae Hee, she didn't have much fun. She has been in Seoul for so many days, and she hasn't been to many places."

Song Yi felt a little guilty, and squatted down to chat with Song Miao, "Miao Miao is right to criticize, uncle's work has been completed, we will fly to the United States tomorrow and play in the United States for a few days, okay? Didn't Taixi take you to Tokyo Disneyland a few days ago? We can go to Orlando Disneyland together, which is also the largest Disneyland in the world, and there are more attractions suitable for Miao Miao to play together."

Song Miao was skeptical, "Really? Uncle, you must keep your promise this time." She stretched out her cute little hand, "Let's make a pinky promise and stick to it for a hundred years."

"The last time Miaomiao and I were at Samsung Everland, we met President Chen Fuzhen. She seemed to recognize Miaomiao and even bought her an ice cream from the park. Miaomiao was embarrassed to accept it, and only ate it after I agreed."

"President Chen Fuzhen said that she hoped to have a daughter as cute as Miaomiao, and later took a photo with us. I don’t know why, but it seems that President Chen Fuzhen has become much more approachable after the divorce." Kim Tae-hee said.

"Is that Aunt Chen Fuzhen your uncle's friend?" Song Miao asked suddenly, catching Song Yi off guard.

"Well, we are friends, what's wrong?" Song Yi asked cautiously.

"Aunt Fuzhen asked me to say hello to you. Aunt Fuzhen also brought her baby to the park that day. The baby looked very small and was sleeping in the stroller the whole time. But when he woke up and saw me, he kept smiling at me. I like him very much, too."

Although the air conditioner in the office was very low, Song Yi still broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect that Song Miao would run into her cousin Chen Yuanzhong in Everland.

Song Yi believed that Chen Fuzhen must have checked a lot of information about him and knew about the existence of Song Miao. So it was probably no coincidence that Chen Fuzhen met Song Miao by chance in Everland.

"Uncle, when are you going to marry Sister Taixi? After you get married, you can have a baby. I will help you take care of the baby then, okay?" Song Miao suggested happily.

Song Yi pinched Song Miao's soft little face and said, "You are still a child yourself, how can you help us take care of the baby?"

Kim Tae Hee used to be shy, but now she is more open and asked naturally: "Does Miao Miao want a younger brother or a younger sister?"

Song Miao counted on his fingers, feeling a little embarrassed. "I like my sister more, but my mother said that she hopes that Sister Taixi's first child will be a brother. When the brother grows up, he can help uncle run the company and let uncle retire early."

When Jin Xiyuan heard Song Miao say this, she immediately smiled. The last time Liao Yu came to Seoul for a meeting, Jin Xiyuan knew that Liao Yu was also Song Yi's woman, and she and Liao Yu even slept together with Song Yi.

Since Liao Yu has expressed his desire for Kim Tae-hee to have a son, it means that Kim Tae-hee's position in front of Song Yi's family is as stable as a rock.

It doesn’t matter whether Kim Tae-hee’s first child is a son or not. South Korea does not have family planning anyway, so it’s okay to have as many children as she wants, as long as she can give birth to a son to inherit Shin-ya.

Kim Hee-won has also been keeping an eye on the women who have had relationships with Song Yi. She cannot let them give birth to sons. If, at that time, the mother becomes honored by having a son, Kim Tae-hee's position as the Queen will not be secure.

There are many DINK couples in the entertainment industry who claim that they don't care about children. As a result, when the husband wants to regret in his 40s or 50s, he can still find other women to have children, but the wife has lost her fertility and can no longer have her own children. In order to prevent paparazzi from tracking them, these stars basically secretly buy a house in Japan, hire a nanny to raise their illegitimate children, and finally retire from the entertainment industry and live in seclusion in Japan, enjoying the happiness of family life. Kim Tae-hee also met Chen Fuzhen's baby Chen Yuanzhong. For some reason, when she first saw Chen Yuanzhong, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. She actually had a guess in her mind, but this guess was too bizarre and absurd, so she subconsciously ruled it out.

Although outsiders said that Chen Fuzhen had a lover outside, her son was not Yu Zaishi's, but the illegitimate son of Chen Fuzhen and a big shot. In order to keep Yu Zaishi silent, Chen Fuzhen was willing to pay 12 billion won in divorce settlement.

Kim Tae Hee had seen how Chen Fuzhen and Song Yi didn't get along. The two were basically at odds with each other at that time. They had not had much contact. How could Chen Fuzhen give Song Yi a son? "By the way, I have a senior from Seoul University who is a computer major. I want you to take some time to meet him. In his words, as long as you listen to his ideas, he will definitely be willing to hire him. You were not in the company that day, and Liu Yongjun interviewed him, but he didn't pass the interview in the end." Kim Tae Hee said embarrassedly.

Song Yi became interested. "Anyone who can say something like this is either a genius or a lunatic."

He instructed Jiang Xiuna, "Go downstairs and ask the HR of Xinya Network for a copy. By the way, what is the name of your senior brother?"

"Yang Jingxing, whose English name is Doug Young, was admitted to Seoul National University in 1995. He later went to study abroad at MIT and started a business while at university, but the company went bankrupt."

"After returning to China, he actually wanted to continue his business, but no investor was willing to support him, so he came to New Asia Network for an interview. I don't know if he came for the New Asia Capital Fund." Kim Tae-hee briefly introduced the situation of this senior.

Song Yi now understood why Liu Yongjun eliminated Yang Jingxing. Although Internet companies offer a high degree of working freedom, they also tolerate some eccentric technical geniuses.

For example, there was a technical expert in the Xinya Network Sohan Network project team. During the interview, he asked Song Yi if he could come to work at the company after 11 o'clock because he couldn't get up in the morning.

When Song Yi heard this request, he was slightly stunned. This was the first time he heard such a request after hosting interviews for so long.

After he investigated the resume of this big shot, he found out that this technical expert had been playing computer in the dormitory during college and never attended morning classes. However, he got full marks in all professional courses and received interview invitations from Naver, HanGame, Daum, and Yahoo Korea before he graduated.

Because this expert saw that the employees of Xinya Network posted various work meals on inschool every day, and they could take a half-day off on Friday afternoon, he did not want to be a company slave and immediately took the initiative to come to Xinya Network for an interview. In the end, Song Yi made the final decision, and the working hours of this technical expert were from 12 noon to 8 pm, which was unique in the company.

Liu Yongjun can tolerate an employee who is independent, but cannot tolerate an employee who is always ready to change jobs. Perhaps Liu Yongjun thought that Yang Jingxing had no intention of working in New Asia Network for a long time and would start his own business sooner or later, so he simply eliminated him.

The person on the other end of the line was a little confused, "Yes, who are you?"

"I'm Song Yi from Xinya Network. My girlfriend Taixi told me that you wanted to meet me. I happen to be free now. Do you have time to come to our company?" Song Yi said.

Yang Jingxing had already prepared to return to the United States because his MIT classmates recommended him to work at Amazon. Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better before his departure.

"I have time. I will be at the New Asia Building in about forty-five minutes." Yang Jingxing suppressed his inner joy and said calmly.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the company. When you arrive, go directly to the top floor of the New Asia Building."

After Song Yi hung up the phone, he looked at the time on his watch. It was now 10:30. Now it depended on whether Yang Jingxing could get to the New Asia Building within 45 minutes.

Jin Taixi noticed Song Yi's action and said, "Do you have anything else to do later? Otherwise, I will take Miaomiao back with me. She usually likes to play with Black."

"That's not the case. Yang Jingxing said he would arrive at the New Asia Building in 45 minutes. If he is late, the interview will be cancelled. Xiu Na, please notify New Asia Network's Director Liu Yongjun and Team Leader Quan Zhougao, and ask them to wait and join me for the interview in 45 minutes." Song Yi instructed.

Jin Taixi felt a little reluctant, "What if Yang Jingxing gets stuck in traffic on the way here and is late?"

Jin Xiyuan frowned. "If he can't even be punctual during an interview, how can you guarantee that he will obey the company's work requirements after he starts working?"

"The 45 minutes was not proposed by us. It was proposed by Yang Jingxing himself. If he doesn't plan the time well, then if the company gives him the sole responsibility for a project, how can I trust the financial budget and manpower arrangements he reports to me?" said Song Yi.

Kim Tae Hee's face flushed, and she felt that she was still too superficial. But she also understood what Song Yi meant. He seemed to think highly of Yang Jingxing. Otherwise, why would he let him be in charge of a project alone? Now New Asia Network Co., Ltd. has four projects, namely inschool, Sohan.com, Happy Farm and KartRider.

Now "Happy Farm" has been launched in Japan and South Korea at the same time, and it has become popular in these two countries. For office workers in Japan and South Korea, "Happy Farm" is a simple and easy game to play, and it can also enhance the connections between inschool friends from time to time. The first thing you do when you log in to inschool every day is to see who has stolen vegetables from your farm and then been bitten by the dog you fed.

If your friends feed the puppies on your farm, the puppies will not bite your friends who steal the food, but will wag their tails to see them off.

Tsuyoshi Idezawa, CEO of Shin-Asia Network Co., Ltd., the Japanese game operator of "Farmland", said that players of "Farmland" will receive physical rewards prepared by the company in the coming year, including a one-of-a-kind super grand prize, so please stay tuned.

Because the upgrade path of Happy Farm is Happy Farm - Happy Ranch - Happy Restaurant, the higher the ranking, the more game permissions will be unlocked. Currently, only Idezawa Tsuyoshi and Song Yi know about this super prize, which is actually to sponsor the top-ranked game player with 2 million yen to help him open a joint restaurant of Happy Farm.

If Song Yi is willing to let Yang Jingxing be responsible for New Asia Network's new project, Yang Jingxing will instantly become a core executive second only to Liu Yongjun and Quan Zhouhao.

Yang Jingxing arrived at the New Asia Building at around 11 o'clock. He stayed outside the building for ten minutes and then entered the building elevator at 11:12. When he walked out of the elevator, he found a long-haired beauty waiting for him.

"Mr. Yang Jingxing, right? Our president is waiting for you in the office." Jiang Xiu Na led the way.

When Yang Jingxing entered the office, he found that the three giants of Xinya Network, Song Yi, Liu Yongjun and Quan Zhouhao, were all there. Yang Jingxing took a deep breath. Whether he could stay in Korea and get a high-paying job depended on this.

Song Yi gestured to Yang Jingxing to sit down. Unlike the traditional interview, Song Yi and four other people sat together on the U-shaped sofa in the office, like a simple tea party.

"Yang Jingxing, before the interview, I would like to ask you a question. If we Xinya hire you, do you have plans to start a business in the next five years?" Song Yi went straight to the point.

Yang Jingxing answered without hesitation, "If there is a really good opportunity, a suitable entrepreneurial project, and an entrepreneurial fund willing to invest in me, I will."

Song Yi smiled and said, "This question has nothing to do with the results of today's interview. Liu Yongjun said that you want to provide cloud storage services for inschool users? How did you come up with this idea?"

"I am actually a heavy user of inschool. I browse inschool for more than an hour every day. With the popularity of the game "Happy Farm", inschool's registered users in Korea have exceeded 20 million. According to my estimation, the number of registered users of inschool will exceed 30 million by the beginning of next year. Except for minors who cannot register inschool accounts, inschool has covered the majority of the population in Korea."

"Currently, the number of photos uploaded by inschool users every day has exceeded 5 million, and in the future, the number of photos uploaded per day may exceed 100 million. These massive amounts of data require the huge computing power of Xinya."

"With the development of mobile phone technology, professional cameras like Nikon and Canon will gradually be replaced by powerful smartphones."

"These mobile phone users will store a large amount of movies, TV, animation, games, music, novels and pictures in their mobile phones. Regardless of whether they are PC users or mobile phone users, some Internet users will feel that the storage space of the hardware they purchased is not enough, and hope to have additional storage space for uploading and downloading anytime and anywhere. This is the meaning of cloud storage." Yang Jingxing talked freely.

Song Yi certainly knows about cloud storage. The most common Internet applications are various online disk services, the most well-known of which is Baidu Netdisk.

He had an in-depth chat with Yang Jingxing. In fact, cloud computing not only includes cloud storage services, but also various cloud computing and database services.

In order to provide the developers of Xinya Network with a simple, easy-to-use, cheap and reliable virtual server, Xinya Network is also preparing to launch an elastic cloud computing project. Song Yi has already named this project, called the SHINA Elastic Compute Cloud Project, or Xinya EC2 Project for short. This elastic cloud computing project has always lacked a suitable project leader.

After listening to Song Yi's story, Yang Jingxing's attitude immediately changed. He originally thought that South Korea did not have talents who understood cloud computing. Unexpectedly, although Song Yi did not understand the technology, he could see the future development direction of cloud services farther than he did.

Song Yi said to Yang Jingxing: "Compared with the United States and China, the development of South Korea's Internet industry is actually relatively slow, except for the online game market which is a standout."

"To tell you the truth, the new mayor of Seoul, Park Dong-ho, is indeed my good friend. He has always advocated paperless office. In order to improve the efficiency of government workers, we, Xinya Network, will launch the first public cloud service in the next two to three years, and the Seoul City Government will be the first purchaser of our public cloud service."

"The emergence of New Asia Cloud will completely change the Internet world in the future, allowing people to obtain and use computing resources at a lower cost and in a faster way, and provide computing, storage, database and other infrastructure services to Internet users around the world. To make an analogy, cloud services are like highways in the Internet industry, allowing Internet users to travel unimpeded."

"In the future, we will provide developers with the most powerful development tools and platforms, allowing them to build and deploy applications more efficiently. After the launch of smartphones, you will find that developing a mobile game application in a week or two is no longer a fantasy," Song Yi introduced.

Only then did Yang Jingxing realize that Xinya Network had already started developing their shopping website Souhan.com. As a large shopping website, the amount of user data involved was astronomical.

In order to reduce operating costs, it is imperative for Shin-Ah Network Co., Ltd. to start using Shin-Ah Cloud Service as soon as possible. Now Shin-Ah Network is no longer just renting servers from SK Telecom, but has begun to deploy its own servers. Shin-Ah Network Co., Ltd. has begun to build its own data center in Gangwon Province near Seorak Mountain.

The interview went relatively smoothly. Since Xinya Cloud is only in its initial stage, there is no need to set up a separate project team for the time being. Xinya Cloud will be temporarily set up under the Souhan.com project team. Yang Jingxing reports to both Liu Yongjun and Song Yi at the same time.

After Yang Jingxing and Quan Zhouhao left the office, Liu Yongjun stayed behind to explain to Song Yi, "President, I didn't know Yang Jingxing actually knew Miss Taixi. In fact, I was also hesitating whether to hire him. However, the initial investment in cloud storage services is relatively large, and it may take several years to see the benefits. I originally planned to recruit a large number of cloud computing-related talents in two years."

Song Yi patted Liu Yongjun on the shoulder and said, "Yongjun, you are always worried. I don't blame you for eliminating Yang Jingxing. His ideas are too advanced, and for Internet companies, being too advanced often means that they cannot form a user base, which will eventually lead to the company's bankruptcy."

"The reason why I am willing to hire Yang Jingxing is that I hope to use him to launch Xinya's public cloud service as soon as possible. With the procurement precedent of the Seoul City Government, I believe that more and more municipal governments and large enterprises will purchase our cloud services. You have to know what a technological leader in an industry means. That is monopoly. Monopoly can determine bargaining power." Song Yi patted Liu Yongjun on the shoulder.

The recommendation votes are now 4700, please give me more recommendation votes, 5000 recommendation votes seems to be a milestone? Thank you everyone!
