Chapter 177: Heavenly Time?

"I can't log in to WeChat, what about yours?"
The hot word '#微信崩溃#' on Weibo suddenly jumped on the hot search, and more and more netizens joined the discussion.
"#微信崩溃#我也要崩溃了, I just uninstalled and installed it, and the chat history is gone, it's too pitiful!"
"#微信崩溃 #>
The text just sent out became an asterisk, which is enough to see the excitement of netizens.
"Just prompted that your WeChat account has been deleted, and you can't log in, do you have this problem?"
"I'm in the same situation, is the WeChat team still sleeping? Can't you fix such a small problem?"
"I don't know when my >

On the morning of the 24th, WeChat, which has more than 1 billion users, suddenly collapsed, and the sudden collapse of WeChat really shocked everyone.
It was on this day that WeChat users found themselves unable to leave the app.
"I feel that WeChat is not very reliable now, this is forcing me to use whatsapp!"
"Do you have any similar software recommendations? I feel like I need to have a backup ......."
Although the volume is far less than that of later generations, the unexpected downtime of such an important app that is closely related to everyone's work and life is almost equivalent to "the world suddenly stopped for a few seconds" around you, and this impact continues to expand.
Because the siege lion of the WeChat team has not solved this problem until now, many netizens have run to the bottom of WeChat's official Weibo to leave messages, and various asterisks represent that everyone's anger value is now uncontrollable.
…………
Tencent's Guangzhou R&D department, where the WeChat team is located, is located.
Zhang Xiaolong, the "father of WeChat", became famous for writing Foxmail independently, and it was launched in January 1997.
This is an email client that predates Outlook. In 2005, Tencent acquired Foxmail and asked Zhang Xiaolong to lead the team to optimize QQ mailbox, but when acquiring Foxmail, Zhang Xiaolong was reluctant to work in Shenzhen, and finally Ma Huateng made concessions and set up a research and development center in Guangzhou, with Zhang Xiaolong as the general manager. 、
Later, around 2010, Zhang Xiaolong saw the KIK software on the Internet (KIK is the originator of instant messaging tools), and said by email to Ma Huateng in Shenzhen that he wanted to make a similar software, Ma Huateng agreed at that time, and asked Zhang Xiaolong to lead the team to develop.
Later, WeChat has been growing up in the Guangzhou R&D center, so the headquarters of WeChat is naturally located in Guangzhou.
The 24th is Sunday, which should be the time for everyone to rest, even if '996' has become the norm for Internet companies, Sunday is also a necessary time to rest, but it is a pity that the WeChat team rushed to work overtime early in the morning.
Many male programmers wore chicken nests and even slippers, and many women rushed to the company with only half of their makeup, and the reason was '>
"The requirements are very simple, restore the basic functions of WeChat in the shortest possible time, and find out the cause of the crash......"
The head of the programmer led a brief meeting, and the task was arranged in less than five minutes.
"No problem, let's break up!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand to dismiss everyone, and turned his head to see Zhang Xiaolong, who also came early in the morning for this matter.
"Mr. Zhang!"
The subordinate was just about to report the situation, Zhang Xiaolong waved his hand to stop him, and asked, "When did you find out the problem?"
"At about half past five this morning, a colleague found that the message and picture could not be sent successfully, so he immediately called me and told me!" replied the subordinate.
Zhang Xiaolong's brows were tightly locked, and his square face was serious, "Has the cause of the collapse been found now?"
"Not yet, the big guys are being arranged to hurry up and investigate. ”
"Hmm!"
After saying that, Zhang Xiaolong strode towards the staff area, as the founder of WeChat, he also wanted to join in this sudden collapse.
The longer WeChat crashes, the more detrimental it is to Tencent.
As the leader of domestic social software, Tencent and WeChat can be said to be its two carriages, which take Tencent all the way in the social market.
The sudden collapse of WeChat during this period is not good news.
WeChat, which has just been released for less than two years, is in the midst of rapid development, surpassing Mi Chat and Feixin, WeChat has no rivals in the domestic market at all, and the sudden program collapse can be described as a basin of cold water poured on Zhang Xiaofaucet.
Half an hour later.
"How is the reason?" Zhang Xiaolong urged.
"Mr. Zhang, not yet!"
An hour later.
"Has the cause been identified?"
"Hmm...... Not yet, Mr. Zhang. ”
The time for WeChat to collapse is getting longer and longer, and the company's siege lions are becoming more and more unconfident in answering, and in the face of Zhang Xiaolong's inquiry, everyone dare not raise their heads.
'Whew!' Zhang Xiaolong let out a long sigh of relief and released the depression in his chest, turned his head to look at his subordinates who were working hard, and couldn't say anything more, "Everyone hurry up, everyone must understand that time is money!"
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Xiaolong's mobile phone suddenly rang, and he glanced at the call prompt, Mr. Ma's phone.
Looks like he's heard the news.
Zhang Xiaolong's hand slid the answer button, and then put the mobile phone to his ear, and Mr. Ma's familiar voice came through the microphone.
“>
Zhang Xiaolong shook his head and replied lightly, "It's still under investigation." ”
The way they talked was not like their superiors and subordinates at all, more like Bole and Maxima, otherwise with Zhang Xiaolong's strange temper, a different boss would have fired him a long time ago.
Tencent headquarters holds regular meetings every week, and Guangzhou and Shenzhen are only about two hours away by car, but Zhang Xiaolong always uses "can't get up in the morning" as an excuse not to attend meetings.
In order to accommodate him, Mr. Ma asked his secretary to wake him up early in the morning, but Zhang Xiaolong got up, but he still didn't attend the meeting, because the road was too congested and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch up, so Mr. Ma had this patience and bearing.
That's how two people get along.
"Need support from headquarters?"
Glancing at the busy subordinates around him, Zhang Xiaolong nodded, "Yes, time waits for no one, WeChat needs to return to normal function immediately, otherwise public opinion on the Internet will become more and more noisy." ”
"I know, that's the arrangement. ”
Hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiaolong breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Xiaolong is a genius, but geniuses are not always arrogant and unkind, this time it is at a critical juncture in the development of WeChat, he can still recognize the priority of things.
This time, WeChat seems to have come to the edge of a cliff......
