this man is not calm

Chapter 201 Forced Technology

When publishing comics magazines, as there are more and more competitors, operating costs are getting higher and higher.

It is impossible to count the number of mainstream comic magazines currently published in China, and there are even more local small publications.

There are too many magazines and not enough cartoonists, which is a true reflection of today.

Generally speaking, the threshold for this industry is quite high. There are very few cartoonists who are well-known and well-known. After market testing, there are even fewer popular cartoonists.

For example, Jin Shang's mother Mei Xinghong, although not top-notch, is still a senior creator who has been in the industry for many years, and is already a famous artist who can accumulate a group of loyal readers.

The cost is high but the circulation cannot be increased, which is something that many colleagues are worried about.

Now, two comics with unique styles have achieved results, proving that this road can work. Then, there will definitely be waves of follow-up.

The pursuit of success is inevitable in all walks of life.

"Well, with this result, it can be considered a good start.Put Jinxi Mall, a subsidiary that will spend money to seize the market, build warehousing and logistics, and improve the upstream and downstream industry chain, into the capital market for several years. The remaining profits will be concentrated on companies that also burn money, but are expected to be profitable within three to five years. Come on instant messaging, electronic games and value-added services. 』

At the same time, there are several online "gold-eating beasts" maintained. Even if Jinxi Culture's offline business is profitable, it will not be able to sustain it. If there is a slight disturbance, the ship may capsize.

In order to control risks, it is inevitable to allow e-commerce businesses to finance and burn other people's money to develop and grow.

"The open beta of Jinxi Chat ends in ten days. It will be officially released on the [-]st of next month. At that time, Jinxi Music, Jinxi Tornado Downloader and Jinxi Mailbox will appear together, and then... the Mid-Autumn Festival strategy will be launched. 』

Jin Shangru, who had already planned it, thought that on the one hand, Jinxi Mall’s group buying and super discount periods would also be announced on Jinxi Chat. Various online activities, such as online job fairs, online blind dates, greetings from relatives and friends, and Jinxi Pay recharge specials. Enjoy, membership privileges, classmate registration, etc.

A series of activities to attract users and increase stickiness are about to be launched.

Correspondingly, "When Will the Bright Moon Come", a famous song that has gradually spread throughout the country, has also begun to enjoy the benefits of a prelude to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and its on-demand playback on major platforms remains high.

Jinxi Chat, which is bound to publicity, is bound to get more attention.

The TV station's advertisements have already provided enough exposure, so Jin Shang doesn't need to take any additional action.But it's not like he didn't do anything. At this year's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, Jin Shang pushed Li Xuan to perform on stage and sang in front of the national audience on the reunion night.

In order to ensure that this program would not be canceled, Jin Shangke gave generous sponsorship fees, allowing Jinxi Culture and Jinxi Chat to appear several times in the live broadcast of the party.

There is almost everything that should be done and can be done.

leftover……

"Do your best and obey fate!"At least for now, I haven't heard of any competitors emerging. 』

Every calm day means that we are one step closer to success. On such days, we have to endure the torment between pain and love for more than 30 days.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, after a busy day of work was almost over, Jin Shang asked Qi Zhaoyun to come over to discuss the possible legal risks in the next step of technology development.

Among them, the most important one is the edge computing-P2P model that Jin Shang is instructing the technical team to prepare. This peer-to-peer network communication model is too new and there is no mature product on the market for the time being.

To put it simply, on a peer-to-peer network, each computer has the same function, there is no distinction between master and slave, there is no dedicated server, and there is no dedicated workstation. Any server can be used as both a server and a workstation.

In the model framework designed by Jinshang, the most important principles are decentralization, scalability, attack resistance and high fault tolerance, high cost performance and privacy protection.

It's not that Jin Shang insists on developing this relatively advanced technology, but he is forced to do so by the high broadband charges and the maddeningly low Internet speed.

No matter how advanced and superior the P2P model is, it cannot be denied that Jinshang "borrows" the vast number of user computers in the Internet in order to save the cost of broadband servers and make up for the shortcomings of insufficient computing power, low network speed and insufficient storage space.

Internet users in previous lives, as broadband speeds have become faster and faster, and Internet fees have become lower and lower, they no longer understand the frustration of Internet users who get up early and stay up all night using P2P video players, Thunder or eMule for the next movie or TV series.

One person downloading, slowing down the speed of the entire local area network, has caused many unnecessary conflicts in the university dormitory.

Peer-to-peer P2P networks are most obviously used in downloaders around the turn of the millennium.

Jin Shang's idea is not only to apply this technology to Jinxi Tornado downloader, email, online music, Jinxi currency, fast payment and chat history migration, etc., as long as it can improve user experience, save operating costs, strengthen Network security, everyone should give it a try.

As for the so-called edge computing, it seems very esoteric, but to be honest, it is actually not worth mentioning. In fact, after decentralization, you can borrow other people's computers on the Internet for your own use.

Things like using computer viruses to control "roosters" to mine Bitcoin, and smart TV manufacturers secretly "borrowing" Internet speed transmission are all the products of this type of technology.

In order to cooperate with Jinxi Culture's peer-to-peer network layout, Jinshang has specially prepared free basic-level network disks for users, just to ask questions and attract more netizens to join the P2P protocol.

According to the current domestic laws and regulations, there is definitely no provision in this regard. It is still blank, but it does not mean that there is no legal risk.

In previous lives, certain downloaders were considered risky viruses, online video players were regarded as rogue software, and even the boss was caught using a sewing machine. This is enough to prove that this type of technology is indeed jumping across the red line repeatedly. It's easy to get caught.

After listing the technical characteristics and manifestations, Jin Shang asked Qi Zhaoyun's legal department to analyze them carefully.

"From the perspective of the advantages and disadvantages of the centralized directory-based P2P network model, the risk is the greatest. Putting aside the issues of reliability, security, maintenance costs and data waste, the risk of infringement is almost unavoidable. If it is unnecessary, it is not advisable."

Qi Zhaoyun said this.

After listening, Jin Shang also agreed with his analysis.

This thing is like a network player. Users are directly connected to each other to spread pirated movies and TV series, and even short videos with "color". It can also be refuted as the user's personal behavior and has nothing to do with the company, and can be removed smoothly.But if a central directory server is provided, and after storing backups, it publishes a list of shared files to users, which is no different from selling pirated audio and video products and a disc seller wandering the street.

You say you haven't been caught yet, but the buyer says he downloaded it through your introduction. No matter how you quibble, it won't help.

"The second is the purely distributed P2P network model. Whether it is structured or unstructured, the legal risks are definitely gone, but..."

Qi Zhaoyun didn't know what to say beyond the technical issues he had learned.

Jin Shangze answered with a smile:
"The advantages and disadvantages of the centralized directory network model and the pure distributed network model are too obvious, especially the latter, which has poor fast search and scalability. If you are just a technology enthusiast who wants to promote and show off your own level, then It doesn’t matter, but as a commercial application, it’s not suitable. So, only the final layered P2P network model is more in line with my requirements?”

Qi Zhaoyun nodded solemnly. "Judging from the current situation, this is definitely the case. However, according to Mr. Jin's technical requirements, it is difficult to achieve. It is necessary to establish a search network that provides effective relationships between organizational nodes..."

"That is, the super node."

Jin Shang definitely knows more about this stuff than Qi Zhaoyun.

In today's mainstream IT technology, the concept of edge computing does not exist, and P2P technology is still in its infancy, without any practical examples.

This technology is actually more suitable for use as an open platform for industrial automation. In the current network environment, solving the problems of poor network environment, slow speed and instability is really like anti-aircraft cannons to fight mosquitoes.

It's too advanced, and the benefits of technology development are out of proportion to the costs.

but……

"It must be done. Whether it is the downloader and music player that will be launched soon, or future online videos, most of them will also use this technology. Don't be greedy for big things, and develop a few usable products first."

At the end of the discussion, Jin Shang decided to focus on research and development using a pure P2P structured network model. The advantages of this thing are really outstanding, including scalability, reliability, maintainability, and discovery algorithm efficiency. It only does not support complex queries. This is a headache.

However, given today's network conditions, it doesn't matter what kind of complex queries are. Jinshang mainly applies this technology to its own products. It has no plans to build an open platform for a while, and there is no need to build a super-large P2P system. There is no need to worry too much about complex queries.

Of course, considering the rapid development of the Internet in the future, it is only a matter of time before we study the hierarchical P2P network model and build a very large P2P network that is affordable, easy to use, and less difficult to develop.

Currently we are not focusing on the hierarchical P2P network model. The main difficulty is that it is too difficult to establish a super node. Jinxi’s cultural strength is not enough and we do not have the ability.

In addition, the lack of search technology is also an important reason for Jinshang's choice.

"There are too many technical abilities that need to be supplemented.At present, we can only pick up those that have the ability to develop first, and then build those that can be used. 』

When he thought that this was not only a technical issue, but also a legal and moral issue, Jin Shang couldn't help but think about weighing the pros and cons.

It’s okay to innovate and research new technologies, but don’t ruin your good reputation.
-
After discussing with the legal department and technical department for a long time, Jin Shang didn't come back to his senses until he was about to get off work, ended the discussion, packed up his things, and hurriedly went home.

Tomorrow is a specially chosen auspicious day, and Lao Jin will arrive home early to help Jin Shang complete the "excessive" ceremony of moving into a new house.Tonight, there was a lot to prepare and a lot of red tape to go through.

Lao Huang's family is not as good as it used to be. After all, it is the most prominent branch of the wealthy family in the past few hundred years in 2000, and they still value superficial beauty.

Even though the Jin family changed their surnames, some customs and habits were still passed down.

Jin Shang had seen this kind of custom in his previous life, but he didn't expect that this kind of tradition would still exist in the northern capital city in this life.

After sending Li Xuan home, Jin Shang went back to his hometown first, and followed Jin Shi to see Huang Zhengkuo.

Half a year has passed, and my great-grandfather still looks as old as before and seems to be quite energetic. After greeting the Jin family and his son for a few words, he took his leave and rested.

After the two returned home, they pretended to worship the ancestor tablets they enshrined, prepared various things, and went to bed as it was getting late.

The next day, it was not bright outside yet, but the auspicious time had come. The head of the household was carrying a load, with a small coal stove on one end and the ancestral tablet with incense ashes on the other. Mei Xinghong was holding a rice steamer and a spatula. , which also contained "grains" such as grains, beans, peanuts, sesame seeds, and rapeseeds. Jin Shang held a fire shovel, a ladle and other cooking utensils, each with red paper on them.

After going out, while setting off firecrackers, the head of the household shouted to invite relatives and friends to visit him in his new home. Because his grandfather was dead and his grandmother was not at home, some etiquette was dispensed with.

Most of the neighbors also went out to congratulate and mixed in red envelopes for good luck.

Not far away, the family put down their things and loaded them into the cart.

This place is dozens of kilometers away from Jin Shang's villa, so it is naturally impossible to walk there.

He got on the big car with red paper and drove there in less than half an hour. He said hello to the security guard who had received the news in advance, stuffed some red envelopes and small gifts, and the car drove to the door of his house. Jin Shang changed Identity has become the protagonist of "catching fire".

At this time, it was already dawn, and even though the occupancy rate in the hot spring villa community was not high, there were still pedestrians passing by at this time.

It seems that this situation has happened not once or twice recently, and no one is surprised.

Jin Shi handed the things to Jin Shang, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:

"We don't have any grandparents coming to live in our house, and we don't have any relatives arranged in advance to help you take care of the fire. We just keep everything simple and fool around."

After entering the house, light the candles and incense sticks, put the ancestral tablets in place, then put all the things in their places, and clean them before it is complete.

Jin Shi and Mei Xinghong rested for a while, looked at their new home up and down, and then prepared to return after eating breakfast cooked by Jin Shang.

"It looks okay here. It's a bit remote now, so it should be good in the future."

The supporting facilities nearby are not very complete, and Kintoki is aware of it, but the impact is not great. The people who live here are not poor. Every household has a car, and you can enter the city center in ten minutes.

It was rare to get up early and Mei Xinghong, who was a little tired, smiled and said:

"You can go back and live there when you have time. The room will be kept neat and tidy for you."

"Ok!"

Jin Shang agreed wholeheartedly and kept nodding his head.

"It's not that far apart. Contact us anytime and we'll be there in a minute."

Yuancheng District is not developed yet, so there are generally no traffic jams and it is very convenient to come and go.
