Chapter 83: Taking a Big Step
Starting a business is like surfing, you have to go with the flow. For mobile Internet, operators’ 3G4G5G infrastructure and smartphone performance growth are like this.
But Cao Shen now relies on the system, which is to launch an aircraft carrier to surf the waves. As soon as the ship launches, the waves are suppressed.
With the current compression capabilities of the system, uploading and downloading voice, pictures, videos, etc. only requires a little bit of traffic. If Uxin really becomes a super APP and users do everything on Uxin, then operators won’t need to popularize 3G, 2G will be enough.
The operator calculated the accounts again, and it is not certain that the traffic charges cannot keep up with the SMS and call charges.
When the time comes, it will be a trivial matter for these people to come and fight because of money issues. The key point is that if this continues, operators will not have enough motivation to upgrade to 3G, 4G, and 5G.
If operators don’t upgrade their infrastructure, the communication technology suppliers below will have no business. Without business and money, communication technology will not develop.
Today's pictures, voices, and videos can be solved using system compression technology. But what about larger files in the future, 4K, 8K HD? What about applications with higher real-time requirements, real-time VR, ultra-large-scale multiplayer 3D online games, telemedicine, and autonomous driving?
When the system's compression technology cannot solve the problem, and the network is 2G, these new products will have no basis for survival, and the world will not progress.
On the other hand, a large wave of applications have emerged in the original world due to 3G and 4G, such as food delivery, taxi hailing, e-commerce, live broadcast, short video...
In order to make the experience of these applications better, the improvements in cloud computing, automated operation and maintenance, data analysis, data mining, image recognition, artificial intelligence, supply chain automation and other technologies will be affected.
Let’s talk about the development of smart phones. Based on the system's algorithm optimization capabilities, it is estimated that current low-end smartphones can run most of the applications that the system will create in the future.
In this way, there is no need to build a faster smartphone with larger storage capacity. There is no need to develop the computing power of chips, which is obviously not possible.
Theoretically speaking, Cao Shen can be an all-in-one master and gradually handle all kinds of messy apps by himself. Everyone relies on the unified technology to live their lives, but the problem is that society will not progress.
The reason why everyone in the original world can enjoy a convenient life is because there are countless entrepreneurs, and these entrepreneurs have countless diligent employees. Everyone works together to create this world and use innovation, creativity and creation to promote the entire society. progress.
In this process, people themselves continue to learn and realize their own value. And in this process, a large number of jobs have been created, allowing people to make money to support their families.
Cao Shen is smart, but a person's mind and energy are limited. Therefore, he also hopes that more powerful people will appear in this world. He can think of things he can't think of and do things he can't do.
In Cao Shen's view, a good platform does not mean doing all other people's work and leaving others with nothing to do. Rather, it can provide a good environment so that more talented and thoughtful people can realize their ideals and create their own value.
If Cao Shen came to do it, he would not only bring technology and society to a halt, but he would also not be able to create so many jobs.
With so many people and nothing to do, there will be chaos. Moreover, without jobs, there is no money, and without money, there is no spending power. Shrinking consumption will cause a large number of factories to reduce production and close down.
Then, the entire social economy enters a vicious cycle.
If we don’t build a consumerist society, engage in high technology, and engage in spiritual civilization, the current education system and economic system will not be able to keep up, and the timing is wrong.
Even if Cao Shen is willing to spend money, raising people will be in vain. But if he has nothing to do, he will easily become useless. He is here to have fun, not to raise pigs.
What’s the point of raising pigs?
Of course, if you really want to raise pigs, you have to first find out the fun and gameplay of raising pigs.
In this case, we will take the route of technological monopoly, and in the future, um, we will become the ultimate investor in the cyberpunk world.
However, before taking this route, Cao Shen still wanted to see how the powerful people in this world would bloom.
A swordsman will always feel lonely if he doesn't have a duel with an equal master. Although Cao Shen was very shameless and a cheating swordsman, he still had to make a few swings to show off his skills.
Therefore, Cao Shen must now think carefully about how to make everything develop normally.
Just like a game, although you cheat, you can't destroy the balance of the entire game, otherwise no one will play and you will be in trouble.
First of all, the image and voice compression technology originally used on Youxin cannot be changed. It is difficult to switch from luxury to frugality. Users cannot accept it if it is replaced by a lower-end compression version.
Second, the compression in the public account can use a lower version. The number of seconds it takes to open an article is acceptable to users, and the graphics can be opened a little slower. In this way, users will also think that the problem is with these media accounts and has nothing to do with Youxin.
Third, launch video applications as soon as possible. Chat and Moments can send videos, which consumes more data and is welcomed by operators.
At the same time, 2G and 3G need to be differentiated. Users using 3G should use better compression algorithms, which will also encourage users to quickly switch to 3G mobile phones.
Fourth, burn out computing resources and traffic applications as quickly as possible. What kind of games or live video broadcasts? We need to find ways to support them.
Let operators quickly launch 3G4G, accelerate the penetration of smart phones as soon as possible, and upgrade them as soon as possible.
In addition, during this time, Mr. Cao also considered the recruitment issue.
First, persuade the system to disassemble the functional modules of Youxin and encapsulate the interfaces into standard development interfaces.
Later, the recruited people will not need to know the source code to develop functions based on Youxin, and just connect the developed modules to Youxin.
The core technology of Youxin is still compression technology and background data processing. These two parts are still done by the system. When the right time comes in the future, cloud computing technology will be obtained from the system and then transplanted.
According to the design of WeChat, Youxin will have many functional modules in the future, so let's get 20 people first. List all the modules to be made, and let these people claim them in groups to design and develop.
For the public account, there will be another 20 people. Do the review, management and data monitoring of the public account. In addition, we will develop self-media, do the marketing of the public account and sell advertisements.
There are two groups for selling advertisements, one for direct sales and the other for developing and managing agent channels.
In addition, make an interface to Youxin for the original application store of Technology Deep Throat. The app store also needs to recruit people to be responsible for listing review and operation.
We also need to set up a game team for Youxin, which will definitely take over games in the future. People are needed for products, operations, technology, and channels.
After all the calculations, Youxin can have a team of about 100 people. Cao Shen breathed a sigh of relief and sent the recruitment requirements to Zhang Beixin.
The next step is the data center, which is more troublesome because it is a purely disguised job.
Cao Shen spent another five days writing a white paper on cloud computing. It contains the framework of future cloud computing, some key modules and technologies.
They cannot be exposed to the actual business, so let's get a group of people to do research first. According to this white paper, it will take a long time to study, just as a reserve force for yourself.
On August 24, after finally finishing all this, Cao Shen was just about to take a nap when the system suddenly spoke.
[Hey, I know this person...]
"Huh?"
The system synchronized the screen to the computer, and Cao Shen looked at the screen and was stunned.

This chapter is a very important foreshadowing. In addition, I am a little worried that tomorrow's chapter will be put in a small dark room, so if it is released, I suggest you read it as soon as possible.
