Of course Youdao is famous.

In the beginning, it was a department under NetEase, and its main focus was search, namely Youdao Search.

But after the launch, the share was not good.

In this life, if there were micro points, the share would be even smaller. In the previous life, if there were no micro points, the share would be far less than Sogou. It just so happened that the Sogou input method started to become popular all over the country.

Youdao Bian also learned this roundabout method and created a product that can gain a good reputation - Youdao Dictionary.

Sogou Input Method is an input method for search engines, and Youdao Dictionary is a dictionary for search engines, which can easily include popular words and commonly used sentences on the Internet.

Then it defeated many dictionary products on the market in one fell swoop and became popular.

Later, Youdao's search business really couldn't be developed, so it gave up, and Youdao Dictionary became the main force. Then, Youdao relied on Youdao Dictionary to complete a series of layouts, Youdao Premium Courses, Youdao Dictionary, and Youdao Dictionary.

Products such as Cloud Notes, Youdao Translator, NetEase Cloud Classroom, Youdao Children's English, and Youdao Ledu have become an important brand in online education.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Feng, the founder of Youdao, is a "layman" and one of the few experts in the field of distributed systems and operating systems in China!

This is a bit of a pity.

Although Youdao did well in the future, its existence value was nothing more than making more money for NetEase. Those products of Youdao have very limited help to the education industry.

However, distributed algorithms and operating system technologies are the foundation of the Internet technology industry!

For such a talented person to give up his own research direction and turn to researching search technology and developing Youdao dictionary... This pig-raising boss Ding is really wasting his resources.

Do talents of this level belong to NetEase if they are recruited by NetEase?

It is the technical resource of the entire country!

There is no Youdao Search, there is Baidu, and there are many search engines. There is no Youdao Dictionary, there is the famous Kingsoft PowerWord, and there are many online dictionaries.

In the fields of distributed and operating systems, there are very few world-class talents in China.

Even if the Hongmeng system more than ten years later claims to have better performance than Android, what technology does it rely on?

The answer is distributed!

Hongmeng has indeed made huge improvements over Android in terms of distributed design. The main reason is that Android is too old and was born in 2003. At that time, distributed technology had not yet been developed.

It will be very difficult to change it in the future because compatibility is not easy to resolve.

Although Hongmeng is a shell of Android, it has also solved many technical problems and made huge breakthroughs in distribution. With the powerful distributed technology, Hongmeng can be more efficient than Android in some aspects of performance and operation.

More quickly.

Ten years later, this will be the most mainstream technology in the industry.

This is only 2007. If he is well trained, this Zhou Feng can definitely become a leader in related fields in China. And he later led Youdao to success, which is enough to show that he is not only a technical genius, but also has good business management and strategic vision.

Outstanding.

For such a person, just being a wise person is better than nothing, and it is really overkill.

From Wang Xiaochuan's words, Zhou Buqi even vaguely felt that Zhou Feng was more powerful than Wang Jian and Yang Zhenkun. In terms of distribution, both Yang Zhenkun and Wang Jian became monks halfway, while Zhou Feng had a professional background and was published in top magazines during his Ph.D.

published several related papers.

Moreover, Zhou Feng is Wang Xiaochuan’s classmate, he is young!

He was born in Tsinghua University and has a deep connection.

Sohu Building is located in Tsinghua Science and Technology Park.

Wang Xiaochuan continued: "Zhou Feng joined Youdao two years ago, but he was working part-time at the time. He was in charge of two projects of NetEase, one was the search system and the other was the password system. He was very busy at the time, working on

While studying in the United States, I have to fly to Hangzhou to manage the search business; I also have to fly to the capital to work on the cryptography system."

"Cryptosystem? What is it?"

"Account theft in online games has been very serious in recent years. A company in Silicon Valley has developed a one-time password authentication system. Every time you log in to your game account, you have to enter this one-time password, which protects the security of your account. At that time

NetEase doesn’t have the technology to make this cryptographic system, so they went to the United States to buy it, but the Americans’ asking price was US$15 million.”

"$15 million?"

Zhou Buqi twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that this old beauty is really evil, she dared to offer such a high price two years ago.

Wang Xiaochuan said: "Boss Ding was reluctant to spend so much money, but he couldn't make it himself. Later, when I asked Zhou Feng, he said it was simple and he could make it himself."

"And then it was done?"

"It's done. He led a project team, basically controlled by remote control, and built this password system. It is the first of its kind in China. Now all NetEase's games use this password system."

"So, while he was studying for his Ph.D., he helped NetEase do two major things. One was to create a password system, and the other was to create Youdao Search?"

"Yes, I also published more than ten papers in top journals during this period."

"sharp!"

"He graduated with a Ph.D. this year and hasn't officially joined the job yet. I heard his wife said that Boss Ding seems to be making a huge offer and appointing him as NetEase's senior vice president."

Zhou Buqi was slightly surprised, "His wife?"

Wang Xiaochuan's face was not normal, "His wife was also a classmate of Tsinghua University, graduated in 1996. She was also in that group. If you check online now, you can still see her name. Later, they went to Berkeley to study together.

Doctor, you’re married.”

Zhou Buqi almost laughed, "Is his wife your classmate?"

"Um."

"very beautiful?"

"Um."

"Ha ha!"

Zhou Buqi saw it.

Most of the girls who study computer science are not very good-looking. Finally, a girl with technical genius and good looks finally emerges. Which male student in the whole grade doesn’t like her?

It's a pity that girls like Zhou Feng, who is a top student.

Wang Xiaochuan said seriously: "Now, Zhou Feng has not officially joined the company and is communicating with NetEase. There are also many invitations from the United States and he is making choices. Once NetEase is too sincere, he may really officially

Got hired."

As soon as I graduate, I can get the position of senior vice president at NetEase. This is indeed sincerity.

It's equivalent to how Ziweixing treats Guo Pengfei.

Zhou Buqi was very moved, "What do you think we should do?"

Wang Xiaochuan said: "Hurry up and take action! I will find a few classmates to come forward together. The company will also take action. There will be no delay in public or private matters."

"What should I do with Youdao? Wasn't it created by him? He wouldn't want to give it up..."

"or……"

"Um?"

"Why don't we spend some money to package and acquire Youdao? Youdao's search market share is too low. At least we have some technical reserves. This can be regarded as an explanation to NetEase."

Zhou Buqi was a little amused and shook his head.

I feel that this Wang Xiaochuan has selfish motives.

The business that Zhou Feng started was acquired by him. What does this mean? Is he stronger than Zhou Feng? Can he prove himself to that female classmate?

Zhou Buqi would definitely not do anything like this that might cause conflicts.

Moreover, Youdao has now become a brand, not only Youdao search, but also many other related products, which are very repetitive with Weidian.

There is no need for any acquisitions on the business side.

Wang Xiaochuan said: "The three major portals all have their own search engines. Sina made Aiwen Search, and the founder is Cheng Binghao, who has been recruited by us. Sohu made Sogou and was acquired. If we can also package Youdao

I brought them here and gathered the three major search platforms..."

"What are you doing? Can we change the dragon once we are all together?"

"ah?"

Wang Xiaochuan didn't quite understand.

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and said solemnly: "You are right, this Zhou Feng is indeed desirable. Letting him run the market in NetEase is a waste of national resources. Take action immediately and poach him! As for Youdao... we don't

need!"

…

Zhou Buqi went to the airport.

Next to him is a quiet girl wearing a white dress and a ponytail, it is Xue Baoshan.

Her mother is coming.

Zhou Buqi was a little nervous, "Sister Bao, aunt...isn't she strict?"

"Ah?"

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "That's different. I took over her precious daughter. As a parent, how can you not be angry? This feeling... oh, I have a daughter now anyway, I can feel it."
