Chapter 2001 The choice is hard to decide

Zhou Feng is quite happy, because the truth here is far more complicated than what Ni Qiang said. However, the most important thing is to use simple and easy-to-understand expressions to make Boss Zhou understand.

What comes next is the focus.

Zhou Feng said solemnly: "The Ziweiyun native database we developed based on the MySQL open source framework was launched for internal testing in October last year, but it has many problems. Far more than the Feitian database."

Dr. Ni Qiang explained this, "It's not that our team is not good, it's that we have higher requirements for cloud databases and have challenged many larger and broader technical problems."

Zhou Buqi nodded, expressing his understanding, "The scale of application is larger."

Ni Qiang smiled and said, "Absolutely."

"What?" Zhou Buqi saw their solemnity and was a little confused, "What's wrong? The problem is difficult to solve?"

Ni Qiang said: "It is difficult to solve, but it is not impossible to solve. The key is that there is a contradiction in choice now, coming from Kurian who has more say."

"Kurian?"

Zhou Buqi was a little surprised.

Zhou Feng added: "If it is for commercial use, the product must be mature and stable enough, otherwise once the database fails, it will cause losses to customers. Not to mention smashing the sign, we will have to compensate a large sum of money."

Ni Qiang said in embarrassment: "However, there is a cost issue here. According to Kurian, organizing two large teams at the same time to develop two cloud native databases is too much investment. It is best to use the technology

Resources are pooled.”

If you want to make wine and sell it in the market, that's another story. Especially if you want to build a brand to compete with Moutai and Wuliangye, you can imagine how difficult it is.

Even though Dr. Ni Qiang is already an outstanding scientist in the database industry, he is still several levels behind Kurian. Kurian is a big figure in the global database field and can be ranked among the top five.

Isn't this nonsense?

Kurianna is a top figure in the database field. His R&D center is still in Silicon Valley and he can recruit a large number of world-class database talents.

Zhou Buqi vaguely remembered, "Well, you said that a few years ago."

"right."

Zhou Buqi snorted, not wanting to inflate other people's ambitions and destroy his prestige, he said coldly: "Kurian has a lot of things on his mind. He just wants to do it alone and take the credit in his own hands, instead of supporting your development.

database, I will give you the greatest credit."

Ni Qiang was also a little embarrassed and scratched his head, "Maybe he has too high a vision to look down on me. I went to Silicon Valley to meet him, but he scolded me and said that the products I developed were just a bunch of stuff..."

"this……"

It's like building a house.

Zhou Buqi said: "This kind of thing has happened not once or twice. This Indian guy is good at everything, but he is greedy and eager to take all the credit for himself."

"Um?"

Zhou Feng also looked incredulous, "No way?"

This is really the biggest flaw.

It's hard for Ni Qiang to sympathize with this, "Well, me too, to put it this way... When I used to work in Silicon Valley, I also had this mentality. I was afraid of being looked down upon by foreigners, and I just wanted to constantly prove my strength."

Ni Qiang was somewhat unwilling to do so.

"It's pretty good." Dr. Wang Jian gave a fair evaluation. "It's much better than the version developed by us. However, there is still a long way to go before it can be commercialized. There are too many technical problems to solve.

Solved."

No one would be willing to do this kind of thing. After finally developing the product, it was abandoned after no one liked it.

How can we argue about this?

If we want to give up, we must give up this version of Ni Qiang's cloud database, and then merge Ni Qiang's team into Kurian's team to help him.

Dr. Wang Jian is now the chief technology officer of Ziweixing, and his perspective will be clearer. He said calmly: "Although the foreign version of the database was launched half a year later than Johnny's version, after internal application, all indicators are far behind."

Leading, generally 40%-80% ahead. Many business managers have even approached me privately, saying that they are willing to support the company's internal product development and are willing to be guinea pigs for testing. However, they want to take it overseas.

That version of the database for testing.”

Kurian previously served as Oracle's technical director, product director, vice president of technology, vice president of engineering, and then senior vice president in charge of the two core businesses of engineering and technology. He is the chief scientist of Oracle's database and is in charge of Oracle's global data coverage.

Thousands of R&D personnel.

Ni Qiang suddenly blushed and wanted to scold the big boss.

Kurian's team has more scientists, stronger technical attributes, and better product trial effects. Even domestic business teams are willing to support Kurian's version.

I didn't expect that this matter would be related to him.

Dr. Wang Jian, who was sitting on the sofa smoking and had not spoken for a long time, spoke, "It actually makes sense. It is not too difficult to develop a database for your own use. Feitian Database is very good. However, in the future of cloud computing, in addition to providing

In addition to server rental services, we must also provide many platform-based and software-based services, and a public-facing cloud database is essential."

"this……"

Zhou Buqi sat on the sofa, picked up a cup of coffee, and thought: "So what Kurian means is to concentrate on doing big things and only develop a cloud database."

"right."

If you want to use a commercial database, let alone self-research, even if you rely on foreign open source frameworks to develop it, it is still a difficult road to success.

"Why didn't you use yours?"

It's like making wine at home and drinking it yourself, it's easy.

Ni Qiang was stunned.

Zhou Buqi twitched his lips, "Kurian also built a cloud database?"

It's like fate made a joke.

"right."

Zhou Buqi was slightly startled.

Wang Jian was very happy that the big boss still remembered his suggestion a few years ago, and said with a smile: "However, it is a big project to develop a mature cloud database that can be used by the public. I heard that Facebook also

They launched a plan to eliminate IOE and developed a database relying on MySQL's open source framework. However, it was only for their internal use and not for external commercial use. There are huge challenges for personal use and commercial use."

Unexpectedly, something similar might happen to me. It might even be worse, not downgraded, but abandoned.

Ni Qiang was depressed and speechless.

Zhou Buqi then found a reason for Kurian and sighed: "However, this is also human nature. Ziweixing is a company run by us Chinese. As an Indian, he will inevitably feel like an outsider in his mentality.

No matter what is lacking, he will definitely try his best to prove himself and show the value of the company hiring him with a high salary."

This is actually a workplace secret. Wang Jian hesitated for a moment, but thinking that this was the big boss, he didn't care anymore, "There are many, mainly Guo Pengfei and Zhang Xuhao."

Zhou Feng added: "So what Kurian means is that we should not study it here. Not only is it a waste of resources and money, it is also a waste of talent. His version of the cloud database still has many problems that need to be solved.

He hopes that our team can help them solve some technical problems."

Hearing the three words "Guo Pengfei", Ni Qiang almost fainted. Even Boss Guo did not support him.

"this……"

The conclusions of three great doctors gave Zhou Buqi a deeper understanding of commercial databases.

Ni Qiang sighed.

"ah?"

However, to say that Kurian has a greater say is absolutely convincing.

Zhou Buqi asked: "Which business team?"

Zhou Feng's stance was more fair, and he said calmly: "It is already extremely difficult to develop a commercial cloud database. It would be too unrealistic to develop two at the same time. This is not only due to cost considerations, but also

Talent utilization and risk assessment considerations.”

Zhou Buqi understood it at a glance, "He wants you to give up the cloud database A that you have worked so hard to develop, and then join his team to build his cloud database B."

Zhou Feng was a little embarrassed.

Zhou Buqi knew what he was doing, so he acted calmly and nodded, "Is Kurian's version of the database good?"

After Ni Qiang joined Ziweixing, he replaced Yang Zhenkun as the chief database scientist, and then downgraded the importance of Feitian Database.

Zhou Feng sighed, "Kurian also has a team in Silicon Valley, and he is also developing a cloud database. However, his actions are relatively slow. He just completed the internal launch in May this year."

Zhou Buqi smiled and encouraged them: "So, if Kurian has some excessive criticisms, don't take it too seriously. Ziweixing and Ziweixing International are two companies. Do your best and be confident.

"

Ni Qiang and Zhou Feng looked at each other, both in disbelief.

Zhou Buqi then asked a very critical question, "Johnny, which database is better developed by Kurian or the one developed by your team?"

It would be too wasteful to build two houses at the same time. The manpower is limited and it is also very difficult. Why not let Kurian be the chief designer and be responsible for building the house and further heighten, improve, strengthen, and strengthen it. Ni Qiang will lead the team.

Some interior masonry work will do.

Both parties worked together to build this house.

Zhou Buqi then asked: "Where is the technical committee? Has it given its opinion?"

Ni Qiang seemed to see hope, "The technical committee here in China hopes to retain and cultivate talents, mainly to provide opportunities. If my team is merged into Kurian's team, the importance will be downgraded, which will be very difficult."

It is difficult to participate in core-level development and can only do some peripheral work, which will limit the growth of talents. I think we should cultivate outstanding talents domestically and give them opportunities."
