Rebirth of God Against God

Not to mention that this is just the cost of server equipment!

In most cases, the cost of server hardware and software is only a small fraction of the total cost of building your own server farm.

Typically, hardware and software costs typically represent only 15% to 25% of the total cost of installing, maintaining, upgrading, and supporting a dedicated server.

For many Internet companies, the server is simply their lifeline, and there is no room for any problems. Once any downtime accidents occur, it may bring disastrous consequences!

Therefore, the cost of the server itself is still a small matter, and it is crucial to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the server!

So if you add in the cost of initially installing server units, the labor cost of daily maintenance and management, and the most important cost of server network and software updates, etc., you will have to invest at least 3000 million or more in one year!

Chang Zhiyuan didn't know that upgrading the server unit was an important matter that affected the whole body, and it required a lot of money to invest!

So when he saw Yu Dongliang hesitatingly talking about funding, he waved his hands nonchalantly and said:

"Isn't it just the funds? All of it will be paid out of the company's account. If there is not enough, then bring the application form and come to me to sign!"

Yu Dongliang saw that Chang Zhiyuan hadn't reacted yet, so he had to be ruthless, and said directly after gritting his teeth:

"Mr. Chang, then I have to apply with you now. If you want to fully upgrade our company's server units, first of all, you will need at least 2000 million in funds just to purchase servers and daily maintenance."

"And the space occupied by twenty units is also very large. Our company's existing office area is no longer enough to place so many server units. You need to rent a larger office space to place the servers. .”

"What? You need 2000 million yuan to get started?"

Chang Zhiyuan was about to sit down on the office chair next to him, but when he heard such an astonishing number, he was so frightened that his feet went limp, and immediately his ass fell on the chair!

And I heard Yu Dongliang's last sentence mentioned that the company's existing office space is not big enough. To upgrade so many server units, it has to rent an additional new office space to place servers!

This will require an additional large amount of venue rent!

"Is this server made of gold? Twenty server units cost 2000 million?"

With an expression of disbelief on Chang Zhiyuan's face, he turned to Yu Dongliang and asked:

"I remember that the server with medium configuration you bought was not so expensive!"

Yu Dongliang showed bitterness, and explained in a low voice:

"Due to insufficient funds, we... the few servers with medium configuration we bought before are all second-hand servers from the market..."

"Actually, if it is a brand-new server with a moderate configuration in relatively good condition, even if the data volume is overloaded for a short period of time, it can still support about 20 user visits..."

What Yu Dongliang meant was that the previous server crash was actually related to the decline in the status of these second-hand servers.

It's like a new car, even if it doesn't have a lot of horsepower, it can still accelerate and speed up.

But this is a second-hand car that has driven 20 kilometers. Let alone speeding up the car, it is enough to keep the car stable and not break down.

When Chang Zhiyuan heard this, his whole face suddenly turned into embarrassment again.

If it wasn't for his reluctance to spend money at the time, he was reluctant to invest more funds to build Douyin's server, maybe the server crash would not have occurred at all.

As long as the server didn't crash at the time, it would be easy to set up a current limiting method for queuing up numbers if the software engineers were given a little time to react.

Like the League of Legends game, when encountering some popular modes such as unlimited firepower, the server must always be full, and if users want to enter the server to play games, they must queue up and wait for the players inside to exit first.

For the same reason, the Douyin software can actually do this, but what happened just now was so sudden that they didn't even have time to react, and the server was blown through!

The more Chang Zhiyuan thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable. It's not like he didn't have money, so why did he make such a fuss?

Wouldn't there be nothing to worry about if we had deployed twenty server units in one go?

Then I don't have to get so angry and angry at all, and I can still lie on the boss chair in the office with my legs crossed and wait to collect money!

Think about it, more than 20 minutes have passed since the server crash occurred.

During this period of time, how many newly registered software users did I lose, and how much advertising fees I could have lost!

The more Chang Zhiyuan thought about it, the more regretful he felt, how much loss this accident had caused him!

This server is like a computer when playing games. You don’t even have the configuration to meet that standard, and you still want to play games smoothly?What are you thinking?

So Chang Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and immediately made a decision:

"Isn't it more than 2000 million? As long as you can reopen the software to the outside world as soon as possible, let alone 2000 million, I am also willing to pay 4000 million!"

After finishing speaking, Chang Zhiyuan spoke directly to Yu Dongliang and said:

"Immediately list all the expenditures needed to upgrade the server into a form, and then bring it to me to sign. The speed must be fast!"

"Strive to be before this afternoon..."

When Chang Zhiyuan said this, the beautiful secretary standing next to him suddenly moved his head closer to Chang Zhiyuan's ear and said in a low voice:

"Chang Shao, our Douyin software is still in the state of being forcibly taken off the shelves by the government. You have to deal with that problem first, so that our software can be re-launched and open for download!"

After being reminded by the secretary beside him, Chang Zhiyuan suddenly recalled that the matter of being removed from the official store hadn't been dealt with yet!

So Chang Zhiyuan immediately changed his words to Yu Dongliang and said:

"Just try to get the server up and running by tomorrow morning! I hope to see our Douyin software continue to operate normally tomorrow!"

Chapter 962 Too Much Regret!

After hearing Chang Zhiyuan's schedule, Yu Dongliang naturally nodded in agreement.

The immediate boss has spoken, no matter how difficult the goal is, you have to hurry up and agree to it, expressing that you will work hard to achieve it.

In the end, whether you can do it or not will not be mentioned for the time being. First of all, you can’t show a cowardly look in front of the boss. You have no momentum at all. How could the boss be willing to reuse you?

What's more, as Yu Dongliang is a senior software engineer in the industry, as long as Chang Zhiyuan can approve enough funds, he is fully confident that he can build the server unit in the shortest time!

When the time comes to load the software, debug the machine and other trivial matters, they can be handed over to the other employees under their hands to solve them slowly!

Seeing that Yu Dongliang took over the task, Chang Zhiyuan nodded with satisfaction, got up and left the office area, and returned to the president's office.

While walking back to the president's office, Chang Zhiyuan's brows slowly wrinkled again.

He recalled the thing that the beautiful secretary reminded him earlier, that is, Douyin software is now forcibly taken off the shelves by the official app store.

Even if he has got all the background servers of the software right now, he probably won't be able to operate it externally. He has to open it up on the official app store for it to go on smoothly.

But at this moment, Chang Zhiyuan couldn't think of any good way...

On the other side, in Douyin's office, Xu Ruoqing, the beautiful manager in charge of the company's internal affairs, was chatting with Ye Tian with a smile on her face.

"Ye Tian, ​​do you know? I just received a message saying that Chang Zhiyuan's Douyin software was reported to the official by a large number of users because of a server crash and too many advertisements inserted in the software. The software was forcibly taken off the shelves!"
