Chapter 425 The technical strength of metaphysics

…

Speaking of which, the main purpose of Huang Jing's call to Lin Hui this time was to report to Lin Hui the progress of the online office system leasing.

So after briefly chatting a few words about the game "T-rex's Journey".

Huang Jing chatted with Lin Hui about online office work.

Huang Jing has already conducted preliminary negotiations with the overseas team regarding the leasing of the "F.FSG" online office software.

The main purpose of Huang Jing's call was to give Lin Hui feedback on the negotiation results, and at the same time, Huang Jing wanted to know Lin Hui's next plan.

When it comes to online office work, Lin Hui actually didn’t develop online office software in his previous life.

However, this does not prevent Lin Hui from expressing his own opinions on online office work.

If you have never eaten pork, you will have seen pigs running away.

In this case, it is not impossible for Lin Hui to do some micro-management.

Lin Hui has used almost all online office software/online office systems in his previous life.

Lin Hui is still very clear about some common shortcomings or drawbacks of previous online office software/online office systems.

Speaking of the past life, the reason why many companies chose to work online was because many companies had no choice but to do so.

When facing certain special circumstances, people are not allowed to gather, and the normal operation of the enterprise requires countless technical personnel to carry out daily operations.

In this case, online office software/online office system has become the last resort for wage earners.

Speaking of which, the earliest online office software/online office system in the previous life was actually quite informal.

Because in the previous life, the earliest online office in China was not entirely focused on office work.

When many people turn their attention to online office work, it is just to meet urgent needs.

The earliest online offices were mainly used for online meetings.

In the early days, this kind of online communication was completely realized by WeChat groups and QQ groups.

Although instant messaging software like WeChat and Penguin can provide online meeting functions to a certain extent.

But just online meetings are not everything online working is.

As enterprises’ demands for online office tasks further escalate.

Enterprises began to turn to professional office software such as Dingding and Feishui.

Lin Hui is really not impressed by the professional capabilities advertised by this type of professional office software.

Lin Hui feels that it is better to call this type of software professional office software.

It would be more appropriate to call it "general office software".

This is why Lin Hui calls this type of software general office software rather than professional office software.

Naturally, this is because these software are still somewhat inferior in terms of professionalism.

Anyway, based on Lin Hui’s actual experience in using it in his previous life.

From an office perspective, the professionalism of this type of software is hard to describe.

Especially when these softwares were first launched, even the most basic general office functions were still not very interesting.

Software such as Dingding and Feimao always feel tasteless and tasteless when used for online office work in special periods.

Although this kind of software that focuses on efficiency claims to be able to meet certain online office needs.

But in fact, it only plays a certain role in online meetings, check-in, and document synchronization.

For more complex work content, it simply cannot be satisfied online.

Even in many cases, when faced with some technical tasks, the performance of online office software is quite poor.

Anyway, Lin Hui's work in his previous life was difficult to handle using this kind of online office software.

Unfortunately, even the domestic online office software on the eve of Lin Hui's time travel did not solve the corresponding problems properly.

As for why it couldn't be solved?

Lin Hui felt that it was not simply due to technical issues.

When the market and many other things come into play, simple things often become complicated.

Speaking of domestic technical strength related to software, it is actually a very metaphysical issue.

The strength shown in domestic software is a very abstract issue.

Evaluations of domestic software technology strength tend to be at two extremes—extremely strong or extremely poor.

There are few objective reviews.

Why do you say that?

Let’s talk about the weak technical strength of domestic software!

It’s a coincidence that a website like 123O6 was born in China.

Although most people are familiar with the "unremarkable" website 123O6.

But few people pay attention to this website.

As for the past and present life of this website, not many people may care.

In the eyes of most people, its technical level is often equated with the technical level of general government portals by people who don't know the truth.

This view is quite one-sided.

But in fact, it is quite difficult to build a website like 123O6.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is world-class in difficulty.

After all, we are facing the travel problem of more than one billion people.

The ticketing system of such a website is not uncomplicated.

First of all, it has a large number of visits and is the only official online ticket purchasing channel.

Although not everyone buys tickets online.

But this still does not prevent the website from selling more than 3 billion tickets a year.

What is the concept of three billion tickets? If these tickets were connected end to end, they could circle the earth more than 7 times.

And because of the habits of Chinese people, during the Spring Festival, the number of visits to this website will easily exceed 100 billion times.

Lin Hui remembered when he saw a set of data in his previous life saying that it was the Spring Festival of 2020.

The website received an astonishing 149.5 billion visits a day, with an average of 1.7 million clicks per second.

With such a terrifying amount of visits, if it were an ordinary website, it would probably be paralyzed long ago.

In addition to the number of visits, the ticket grabbing system is also far more complicated than people think.

For example: A random high-speed train may involve more than ten stations. Among these dozen stations, there are many possibilities for customers to choose a certain station to get on the train and a certain station to get off. In addition, When it comes to seat settings, there are three common seat options: business seats, first-class seats, and second-class seats. So just by purchasing tickets for one high-speed train, users have quite a lot to choose from.

And this is just one route!

You know, there are nearly 2,000 passenger stations across the country. At their peak, they operate more than 10,000 passenger trains every day.

From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to describe the options for purchasing tickets as “a plethora of options”.

Moreover, tickets are still a dynamic product, and tickets can be purchased, refunded, or changed at any time.

This requires the website to monitor dynamic changes at all times and respond immediately, so it depends on the amount of calculations, complexity, and load.

It is said that the complexity of several major domestic e-commerce giants such as Bao, Dong and Xixi in the previous life could not keep up with one-fifth of 123O6.

In addition to the above-mentioned problems, there are also security protection issues. The 123O6 system contains a huge amount of personal information. If there is a slight mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Some media once made statistics that 123O6 received as many as 820,000 risk requests per second.

A website like 123O6 was built in 2012 and invited bids from all over the world.

Many international giants, including Microsoft and IBM, came to bid, but none of these giants could be the first to take advantage.

In the end, it was the domestic technical team that completed the website.

The domestic technical team has the strength to handle such a website, and the corresponding technical strength is not weak.

But based on this, it can be said that domestic software technology is strong, right?

It is an indisputable fact that some very commonly used websites are as good as shi and have a very poor experience.

Lin Hui feels that whether the domestic technical team is strong or not does not depend on the difficulty of the technology itself.

It's about how determined you are about a product.

Do you really want to get something done?

If you really want to get something done and are willing to take action, there is no reason why it can't be done.

There is a similar expression in The Analects of Confucius:
