Chapter 448 Not Just as Good
After hanging up Brother Liu, Zhou Hao saw dozens of unread text messages on his phone. He opened them and found that they were all birthday wishes from relatives and friends. Not only his parents, aunts and other elders, but also his cousins. In addition to his relatives, Zhao Yueying also sent Zhou Hao a text message at midnight: "Dear, happy birthday!"
Zhai Yue's text message was: "Happy birthday. I can't celebrate your birthday with you in Xiangdu. I'll make it up to you when I get back."
The rest include Yu Yanhui, his roommates, Pei Feihong, Chen Qi, Ning Hao, Ye Shaoshen Haoshun and other young men in the circle, as well as company subordinates.
In addition, there were some missed calls. Zhao Yueying had more, 5 in total, and Zhai Yue also had two.
Zhou Hao picked out a few key points and replied to them one by one. In addition to thanking them, he also said that he drank too much last night and did not reply in time.
Zhao Yueying replied immediately, "Did you just wake up? Are you okay?"
Faced with Zhao Yueying's concern, Zhou Hao felt a little guilty, but when he thought of Lou Xinyu who was still sleeping, Zhou Hao did not regret it. Unexpectedly, the two conflicting emotions soon merged into one in his heart. He thought that he would be able to find a way to make it up to Zhao Yueying in the future. After all, he had accomplished such a great thing as rebirth, so what else could he do?
Zhou Hao then replied to Zhao Yueying: "It's okay, I just slept too deeply, don't worry."
Zhao Yueying immediately replied: "That's good, I won't drink with you tonight."
Zhou Hao immediately agreed: "Okay, no drinking tonight."
Zhao Yueying said, "I ordered a cake for you. Tell others not to buy it. I'll bring it over tonight."
Zhou Hao replied: "I'll pick you up from school after I'm done with my work."
"it is good."
After chatting with Zhao Yueying and replying to a bunch of text messages, Zhou Hao put down his phone and carefully looked around the villa he was in.
I arrived too late last night and went straight to the bedroom without taking a close look at the villa. Now, after a rough look, I find that this villa is really luxurious. The land in the Asian Games Village alone is extremely valuable. As villas like this are sold one less each time, there will be no new villas within the Fifth Ring Road. If you want to buy a villa in the future, you can only buy one outside the Fifth Ring Road or even the Sixth Ring Road.
After a quick tour of the first floor, Zhou Hao felt that the area of this floor was 300 square meters. He took a look outside last night and the villa seemed to be a three-story + two-story model. The second floor and the first floor were the same area, and the third floor occupied more than half of the area. There was a large terrace. In addition, there were stairs leading to the underground. He didn't know whether there was one or two floors underground.
By this calculation, the villa must be at least one thousand square meters. If it is kept until after 2012, its value is estimated to be over million yuan.
Zhou Hao was also wondering, Lou Xinyu brought him here, could this villa belong to her family? If it was hers, then her family background was really extraordinary. After all, Lou Xinyu's family was from Zhejiang Province. If she could buy such a villa in Beijing and leave it empty, I wonder how much other property she had.
Although he had long seen that Lou Xinyu's family was well off, Zhou Hao had not expected that Lou Xinyu's family would be so powerful.
Just as she was sighing, Lou Xinyu came out of the bedroom in her pajamas. Seeing Zhou Hao in a daze in the living room, she gently hugged him from behind and said coquettishly, "I didn't see you when I woke up. I thought I was dreaming last night."
Zhou Hao smiled and said, "Even if you didn't see me, you could see my clothes and the bed sheets on the floor..."
Lou Xinyu had just put away the bed sheet before coming out, and suddenly heard Zhou Hao mention it again. Her pretty face flushed with embarrassment, "You're taking advantage of me!"
Zhou Hao raised his eyebrows and smiled, then asked Lou Xinyu: "Is this your villa?"
Lou Xinyu nodded.
Zhou Hao sighed: "I didn't expect you to be a wealthy woman..."
Lou Xinyu smiled sweetly and said, "I'm fine?"
Zhou Hao smiled and said, "It's really good. This villa alone is worth 20 to 30 million. You hid it well enough."
Lou Xinyu said: "I didn't intend to let anyone know. The reason I brought you here was mainly because I didn't know where to take you last night except here."
Zhou Hao said, "Go to my place."
"No." Lou Xinyu said with a smile: "You guys drank last night and must have made a mess of the house. Besides, I can trick you into getting in the car and taking you to my house, but how can I trick you into taking me to your house?"
Zhou Hao nodded: "That's true."
Zhou Hao turned around and gently hugged Lou Xinyu, "Are you hungry? Let's go eat something?"
Lou Xinyu said, "You have something else to do this afternoon, right? Let's just have a quick bite at noon, and you can go get busy."
Zhou Hao said apologetically: "Okay, I have something important to do this afternoon, so I may not be able to accompany you."
Lou Xinyu leaned on Zhou Hao's arm and said with a smile: "It's okay, go and do your own thing. I have to go back to school too. You can celebrate your birthday with them tonight. Tell me when you have time and want to see me. We can meet here. Most places here are empty."
Zhou Hao nodded heavily without saying much. Lou Xinyu had already said so much, and it was unnecessary for him to say anything except being moved.
So he picked up Lou Xinyu and walked towards the bedroom. Lou Xinyu was so scared that she kept struggling, "Please don't do it today, it still hurts..."
Zhou Hao looked into her eyes and asked, "What if I still want it?"
Lou Xinyu pursed her lips with a troubled look on her face. She tightened her arms around Zhou Hao's neck, leaned in and kissed him on the mouth, and said seriously, "If you still want it, I'll give it to you..."
Zhou Hao lowered his head and kissed her back, saying lovingly, "How can I bear to let you suffer any more? I'll owe you the money first and we'll talk about it when you get better."
Lou Xinyu's eyes were as bright as water and her face was shy. "Please don't make me wait that long again."
Zhou Hao nodded and said seriously: "Okay, I won't agree if you want to owe me too long."
……
At noon, Zhou Hao drove the Beetle and took Lou Xinyu, who walked awkwardly, to the vicinity of Peking University. They found a restaurant to have lunch and then sent Lou Xinyu back to school. Lou Xinyu asked him to drive the car to the community where he lived, as the car was not suitable for driving to school.
After bidding farewell to Lou Xinyu reluctantly, Zhou Hao drove the Beetle back to the basement of Huimin Garden, changed it for his own G55 and headed straight for Taobao.
The entire Taobao was in a state of tension. When Liu Qiangdong saw Zhou Hao, he said excitedly, "Boss, you're finally here. Taobao will be online in less than seven hours. I'm so nervous!"
Zhou Hao smiled and said, "Senior Brother Liu, I always thought you had the demeanor of a great general, why are you still nervous?"
"Of course I'm nervous," Liu Qiangdong said. "I've never really been exposed to the Internet. Taobao is my first time. It's about to go online. How can I not be nervous?"
Then Liu Qiangdong asked Zhou Hao: "You're going online at 8 pm. Aren't you nervous at all?"
Zhou Hao shook his head: "I'm just looking forward to it."
Liu Qiangdong said: "In fact, I don't have any expectations now. After so much preparation, I believe Taobao will be a big hit once it goes online. The reason I am nervous is mainly because I am worried whether all our supporting links can withstand the pressure."
Zhou Hao asked: "What kind of pressure do you mean?"
Liu Qiangdong counted on his fingers one by one: "First, the website's ability to withstand pressure. I'm afraid that the instantaneous traffic will be too large at 8 o'clock tonight, and the server can't handle it. Second, 100,000 Lychees will be sold out, and millions of buyers will be forced to divert to Taobao. Although we still have hundreds of stores online at the same time, I'm worried that those third-party sellers won't be able to provide good service. Third, I'm still worried about logistics."
Zhou Hao asked Liu Qiangdong: "Have you asked Tianlei what the expected peak traffic volume is tonight?"
Liu Qiangdong said: "According to the latest data from Wangwa.com at noon, the number of Lychee reservations has reached 519 million, and is still growing at a rate of per hour. Taobao has now released an equal number of reservation codes to Wangwa.com's port through an internal interface. Theoretically, the peak number tonight should be able to reach several million simultaneous visits."
The scale of millions of people visiting at the same time is indeed huge. Liu Qiangdong is a little worried about Taobao's carrying capacity. Zhou Hao is also a little unsure when he hears such a huge scale, so he asks Cao Tianlei for his opinion.
Cao Tianlei was very calm. He told Zhou Hao and Liu Qiangdong that Taobao's ability to withstand instantaneous high traffic is very strong. Even if more than 5 million people log in to buy at the same time, the website will not crash. For users, the response speed will be slightly slower at most. The backend has very good pressure resistance and pressure relief capabilities.
The carrying capacity of the backend system does not depend on the number and bandwidth of servers, but more on the planning and construction level of the backend system designer for the entire backend logic as well as the ability to resist, relieve and distribute pressure.
This is where Cao Tianlei's ability lies. After all, he is a top engineer from Google, and this kind of thing is not difficult for him.
