Chapter 30: Zhiyou.com Goes Live Online
10 month 10 day.
Sunday.
As salutes were fired at the entrance of Zhiyou.com's office building.
Zhiyou.com is now online and open for registration to all universities in Beijing.
Huang Yiliang's preliminary planning was extremely meticulous. There were part-time employees of Zhiyou.com at major universities in Beijing. These people were usually student union members from their respective schools, both male and female, and they were all waiting downstairs at their respective school dormitories.
Yi Ran and Bai Yao also led their publicity department and girls' department to various universities to help deal with various emergencies. Some of them received labor fees from Zhiyou.com's part-time jobs, while others were loyal users of Zhiyou.com who voluntarily helped with promotion.
The company officially opened for business.
Huang Yiliang didn't work at the front desk; he handed over all the work to Huang Haidong and the company's vice president, Yang Hongfan.
Anyway, Huang Haidong loves to show off, and most of the people who came were his colleagues at the TV station, as well as some of his drinking buddies from outside the station.
The office area of the Operations and Maintenance Team of the Technology Department of Zhiyou.com.
It turned out that Huang Yiliang was here, along with more than a dozen technical personnel from other companies.
"How's the data?" Xu Ce asked nervously.
This guy arrived early in the morning. In his words, although Huang Yiliang was not his student, he was his wife's student, and as his mentor, he had to support the younger generation's entrepreneurship.
The main reason is that this guy really likes using Zhiyou.com and has given a lot of useful suggestions to the development department of Zhiyou.com.
"No rush, let the data run for a bit first."
Huang Yiliang stared intently at the backend data. He said he wasn't in a hurry, but his palms were sweating.
The last time his palms were sweaty was when he saw the guy behind him's wife.
"It's started! A large amount of registration data is flooding in. Is the server okay?" Xu Ce asked hurriedly.
"It's alright, we have another server on standby, and the server we're currently using has also been configured with redundancy alerts."
The speaker was a person with severe myopia whose face was almost touching the monitor. He was also from the Computer Science Department of the Communication University of China and had graduated several years ago. He used to work for another major Internet company before being poached by Huang Haidong.
Several of the technicians here were poached by Huang Haidong and Yang Hongfan from various large factories.
Who knows what kind of spell they cast on these programmers? Anyway, if it were Huang Yiliang, he would never have jumped ship from a major internet company to a small startup.
"Boss, there's an anomaly in Tsinghua's data," a highly myopic senior student reported to his supervisor.
Huang Yiliang immediately went over.
At that time, internet laws were not yet sound, and there were many computer geniuses from universities like Tsinghua and Peking University. If someone was too arrogant, it was normal for them to mess with them.
"It's a small matter. Everyone, just keep an eye on your own areas. Teacher Xu, could you use this computer to help me narrow down the real addresses of these abnormal IPs?" Huang Yiliang said very quickly.
"No problem!" Xu Ce readily agreed. This was too exciting; it was much more interesting than teaching students.
"Boss, with them registering new accounts so frequently, the Tsinghua website might crash." The highly myopic senior gave Huang Yiliang a look.
Damn it! The lenses of his glasses were a centimeter thick, and Huang Yiliang couldn't see his eyes at all.
"Just tell me the plan!" Huang Yiliang said impatiently.
"Then just ban that IP address from accessing the website." The highly nearsighted senior had barely finished speaking when he said this.
Huang Yiliang's phone rang.
"Hey! This is Huang Yiliang, let's get down to business."
"Brother Liang, the network at Tsinghua University is suddenly very slow. Many students are stuck on the information filling page and can't get in. Other websites are fine, but our Zhiyou Network is terribly slow."
It was Yi Ran calling; he and Wang Zha had gone to Tsinghua University.
"I understand, it's being handled here, five minutes." Huang Yiliang hung up the phone immediately after saying that.
"Teacher Xu, how long will it take to pinpoint the location?"
"It will probably take more than ten minutes."
"We can't wait any longer. Block their IP address from entering our website," Huang Yiliang said to his senior, who was severely nearsighted.
"good--!"
The next second, Tsinghua University's Zhiyou.com network returned to normal.
But this is temporary; the other party can switch to another virtual IP and continue the same operation.
The loophole in this matter is mainly because Tsinghua University refused to authorize the student ID numbers of its students to Zhiyou.com. Since Huang Yiliang could not obtain the student ID numbers, he could only modify the code to default all terminals using Tsinghua IP addresses to Tsinghua students. As long as they were using these IP addresses, they could register successfully.
Other universities, including Peking University, require a student ID number and name from that university to successfully register a unique Zhiyou.com account.
"Boss, let me try. I should be able to do it." The speaker was a blond guy who had been watching for a long time.
Huang Yiliang looked at Huang Mao suspiciously.
If he hadn't trusted Yang Hongfan's judgment, he would have even suspected that this blond guy had infiltrated the technical department. What kind of proper programmer would wear clothes with a dozen or so buttons and have dyed blond hair?
After skillfully writing dozens of lines of code on the computer, Huang Mao looked at Huang Yiliang.
Well--!
Normally, new code should run at least three rounds of testing without any issues.
However, this is clearly not a normal situation.
Huang Yiliang nodded.
The blond guy immediately pressed Enter and started walking.
nailed it?
Huang Yiliang looked at Huang Mao in surprise.
"What you just wrote was a set of viruses, right?" the highly nearsighted senior asked, frowning.
"How can you call it a virus when we're a legitimate company? It's defensive code, an antivirus program. They don't violate regulations by registering frequently, so how could they get infected?" the blond-haired man said matter-of-factly.
Huang Yiliang patted Huang Mao on the shoulder: "What a talent!"
"You're from the development department, right?" Huang Yiliang asked.
The blond-haired man replied, "Yes."
Huang Yiliang then asked, "Why?"
The blond-haired man answered matter-of-factly, "The development department pays well!"
"I'm furious! Your skills are better suited for backend operations and maintenance. Transfer to the operations and maintenance team, and stay after get off work for a lecture," Huang Yiliang said sternly.
What nonsense is this guy spouting? He's just preparing to give the blond guy a raise.
The number of new registered users on Zhiyou.com is rising rapidly.
Beijing Dance Academy.
The little girl, Shishi, sat in front of the computer and immediately registered her own Zhiyou.com account. Then, she clumsily typed in the search bar to find friends.
It took more than a minute to type the three characters "Zhou Mengdie".
"Oh no! How come I can't find out which school he goes to?" the little girl muttered to herself.
"Be a star, with edges and corners, and you will shine."
"Life is not about rushing, but about appreciating the scenery along the way."
"Use the melody at your fingertips to interpret an untamed soul."
With a hazy look in her eyes, the little girl sighed, "His posts about his best friends are all so incredibly insightful."
Well--!
This account really is Zhou Mengdie's account, not the one that squeezed her cheeks with both hands.
Huang Yiliang's close friend's online account is called "Huang Liang Yi Meng," and the little girl Shishi is unlikely to be interested in his chauvinistic remarks.
