Universal Building. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

12th floor.

Liu Hong led Li Dong and Sun Tao to visit the computer room in front of him, and said: "We are now using a server cluster method, which will be equipped with one main server and six standby servers. When the primary server fails......"

Li Dong and Sun Tao listened very carefully.

Although Li Dong is a reborn person, his understanding of computers is only to the extent of playing games and chatting.

Li Dong didn't understand many of the proper names that Liu Hong said, but it didn't prevent him from understanding.

After Liu Hong spoke for a while, Li Dong asked, "How many people can be supported online at the same time?"

Liu Hong explained: "It depends on the situation, if it is just a simple text tour, millions of people are not a problem. However, shopping websites mainly need image caching......"

Liu Hong crackled a lot, and Li Dong and Sun Tao both scratched their heads a little.

Shen Qian, who was still next to her, interjected: "What Team Leader Liu means is that if you follow the Taobao model, you can probably support 200,000 people to visit the web page at the same time without getting stuck." ”

"Two hundred thousand?"

Li Dong was a little dissatisfied with this data, in his previous life, others were often millions of people online, and they still played dynamic games, and they didn't see how difficult it was.

Now that far away is not saving money on this, Liu Hong can only do 200,000 online shopping, which is too little.

Shen Qian knew what he was thinking as soon as she saw Li Dong's appearance, and said angrily: "Do you think 200,000 people are still less? At this stage, let alone 200,000 people, 10,000 people are more than enough! It is online at the same time, and it is not a cumulative number of visits, according to Team Leader Liu's estimate, more than one million daily visits will not cause network congestion, do you think we can achieve it at this stage?"

Li Dong touched his chin, the number of daily visits exceeded one million, and this task was quite arduous.

After thinking about it, what Shen Qian said was right, Li Dong nodded and said, "Then let's do it first, but the website will definitely develop better and better, and the preparations that should be done still need to be done." ”

Liu Hong and the others were a little speechless, now that the website has not been made, you just think so much, is it too early?

Shen Qian didn't bother to refute, and said: "Don't talk about the rest, wait until the website is promoted to 200,000 people online." ”

At this time, there are not many websites in China that can do this, and Shen Qian feels that this time will take a year or two, and Li Dong thinks too well.

Li Dong didn't take it seriously, is there more than 200,000 people?

It sounds like a lot now, but in a few years, 200,000 people, just a small shopping website can do it.

Of course, I don't know if it's true or false, anyway, that's what other websites say.

Next, Li Dong took a look around the office area, and the office area was very well arranged, because there were few people and a large place, Shen Qian's office here was more spacious than Li Dong's office upstairs.

After all, there are now more than 100 office staff upstairs, and there are only more than 20 people downstairs plus logistics, so the conditions are naturally not equal.

Li Dong entered Shen Qian's office and looked at it for a while, then turned back to Shen Qian and said, "Your place is quite big, let go of the upstairs office, Director Song, they are now several people in one office." ”

Shen Qian said indifferently: "Whatever, anyway, I have to move to a new building at the end of the year at the latest." ”

Li Dong smiled: "It's good if you agree, and when you move into the new building at the end of the year, I will pick a big office for you." ”

Shen Qian smiled and said, "It's the same size as Mr. Sun's?"

Li Dong touched his nose and glanced at Sun Tao before saying, "Let's talk about it then." ”

He knew what Shen Qian meant, not the size of the office, but the status.

Li Dong actually doesn't care, Shen Qian has brought him a lot of help after all, if Shen Qian can be tied up in the company, a vice president or even a general manager is nothing.

But after all, you have to take into account what others think, Sun Tao is now his partner, and Wang Yue and other directors are also important people from afar.

If Shen Qian only has an identity problem, it is not a big problem, but once Shen Qian divides power, those people may not be happy.

Of course, if Shen Qian can make the mall up, and Li Dong lets her take the position, others will have nothing to say.

As for whether the mall can be built, Li Dong is still quite sure, it is just a matter of time.

When that time comes, if Shen Qian is still willing to stay, and wants to be on an equal footing with Sun Tao, Li Dong is also willing to support, but it is too early to say this.

"Hmph, I know you're fooling people. ”

Shen Qian didn't bother to entangle with him on this, and continued: "We haven't been busy developing the website for the past few days, but there are a few things I want to hear your opinion on. ”

"What's the matter?"

"First, the name of the mall, is it called the distant mall?"

Li Dong frowned, is there some limitations in the distant mall?

After all, in his consideration, the mall will eventually develop into a third-party platform, rather than an exclusive online shopping platform for distant supermarkets.

If it's called a distant mall......

Just when Li Dong was pondering, Sun Tao agreed and said: "The distant mall is very good, as soon as I hear it, I know that it is a distant company, and you can use the fame of the supermarket to promote the mall in the early stage." ”

Li Dong thought about it, this is not bad, after all, Jingdong and Suning are also named after their own companies.

As for Taobao, people like to change their names, which is harmless.

The name is not a big deal, as long as it is promoted well, it doesn't matter what it is called.

Thinking of this, Li Dong nodded and said, "It's called the Distant Mall." ”

Shen Qian didn't dwell on this, and talked about the second question.

"What payment methods will we use then?"

Li Dong was stunned for a moment, and said as a matter of course: "Alipay!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Li Dong realized what the problem was!

Alipay, that's Alibaba's third-party payment company!

Ali has Taobao, Taobao can develop and grow, it is inseparable from the promotion of Alipay, if you also use Alipay, this is not a rival.

This is not the most important thing, the key is that if you use Alipay, you will have to be controlled by others in the future.

Once Alipay payment is adopted, the future transaction data will be completely exposed in the eyes of Ali, business data will always be the core secret of an enterprise, if it is exposed to outsiders, it is okay when it is not an enemy, once it becomes an enemy, then I don't know how to die.

Li Dong wants to be a third party and is destined to become a competitor with Taobao.

Although he is nothing now, and Ali doesn't even know that he is the green onion, it is better to be prepared than to be controlled in the future.

In addition, the return of funds is also a problem, the handling fee is also a huge expense, and the company's business model is exposed......

This series of shortcomings suddenly made Li Dong give up using Alipay as a means of payment.

If Li Dong just wants to be a supermarket mall, it doesn't matter what payment method is used, but if you want to become bigger, this kind of private third-party payment platform must not be used.

In the previous life, JD.com chose to acquire online banking online, Suning chose to develop E-Pay, and Tencent also had its own exclusive Tenpay......

Don't these companies know that the development of a third-party payment platform costs a lot of money, and the gains are not proportional to the profits?

But people just chose to develop or acquire by themselves, in order not to be controlled by others.

Thinking of this, Li Dong realized that he still had a lot to learn, and he was influenced by his previous life, and sometimes he often made some subjective judgments.

For example, this time, if it wasn't for Shen Qian to ask, Li Dong wouldn't have thought about the payment at all.

With a long sigh, Li Dong said: "In the early stage, we can cooperate with non-private third-party payment platforms such as UnionPay, and then develop our own payment platform when we become bigger." ”

Shen Qian frowned and said, "Isn't the payment method a little monotonous?"

Li Dong waved his hand and said: "We can also use cash on delivery, now there are not many online payment methods, everyone is used to paying in cash......"

As soon as Li Dong finished speaking, Sun Tao questioned: "If cash on delivery is adopted, it will be very troublesome to outsource logistics, and it will take a cycle for the payment to arrive, and we will probably have to set up our own logistics team at that time." ”

When Li Dong heard this, he suddenly felt his head big.

Originally, he thought that it was not difficult to develop a shopping mall, as long as he advertised more, and he was willing to spend money on promotion, everything was not a problem.

But who knew that because of a small means of payment, it was necessary to develop a payment platform first, and then because of cash payment, a logistics team had to be formed.

Although it is okay not to set up a logistics team, if you use an external logistics company, the payment recovery will be limited, and it is really not as simple as you imagined to be an independent third-party mall.

Seeing Li Dong frowning, Sun Tao couldn't help but say: "Why don't you use the existing means of payment, according to what you said, we will increase a lot of expenses and cause some unnecessary trouble." ”

Li Dong waved his hand and said: "I have considered this matter, other people's is someone else's, and it is not convenient for my own use after all." ”

Although Sun Tao still didn't understand a little, he didn't say anything more.

Only Shen Qian's eyes lit up, and she wanted to know Li Dong's answer from the time she asked this question.

Now it seems that she guessed correctly, if Li Dong is just satisfied with being a supermarket, there is no need to worry about these at this time, it seems that this guy has a lot of appetite.

Not only did Shen Qian understand, but Liu Hong next to him was also slightly shocked, compared with Sun Tao, a layman, Liu Hong obviously understands the significance of third-party payment platforms.

However, Liu Hong still has some doubts in his heart, can Li Dong do it?

Now that even the mall is in the mirror, Li Dong is thinking so much at this stage, will he be too arrogant?

Then Liu Hong thought that Li Dong had gone from being worthless the year before last to now being worth more than 100 million, maybe he could really create a miracle.

Everyone on the field has their own thoughts, and Li Dong is not in the mood to guess what they think.

Frowning and thinking for a while, Li Dong said again: "Let me think about these things for the time being, my mind is also a little chaotic for a while, your top priority is to develop the city, hurry up, if there are any difficulties, just mention them to me." ”

Liu Hong hurriedly said: "Thank you, Mr. Li, we will do everything we can." ”

"Well, let's do that for today. ”

Li Dong let out a turbid breath, didn't say anything more, and walked out of the e-commerce department with Sun Tao.
