Zhou Yujie looked outside the glass and asked, "By the way, we have to change our office, right? It's fine to have music, but Quxin and Toutiao have very high requirements for servers. These are core data, and we can't put this data on other people's servers."

Lin Youde shook his head and said, "No need to change the place. I have communicated with the owners of this building and the other two tenants in the past two days. We pay a sum of money to let the two of them move out in advance. In this way, we can rent half of the building, and the three or four floors together have more than 5,000 square meters, which is enough for us to use."

"They're moving away? How do you convince them?" Zhou Yujie asked.

Lin Youde said: "These two are actually trading companies, which do trade in clothing and textiles. However, the domestic trade market has not been good recently. This kind of artificial-intensive industry has a lower cost in Southeast Asia, so they also have the idea of ​​moving out of Shanghai. In fact, I have been paying attention to their movements for a long time, and the landlord also knows that when I mention it, everyone will reach an agreement."

"Okay, you're really amazing." Zhou Yujie smiled. If you don't move, it's the best, and it's much more convenient. It's not about moving fees, but about finding a place. It's too late to waste time in the moving process. Now Toutiao Company lacks the most time.

Zhou Yujie continued: "Since there is enough space, let's buy a server first. Let's prepare the servers needed by Toutiao, Quxin each with a total of one million active users, and also consider data backup."

"As long as it is not a video or a large game, ordinary web pages, pictures, and chat content actually do not use much server space. Technically, even if our headlines capture videos, they can be changed to a connection and then directly playback, without taking up our internal servers.

On Quxin, we can also store data on the user's mobile phone. Our server only saves the content for the last 7 days. The probability of users changing their mobile phones is generally not high." Lin Youde calculated silently and said: "If you buy some second-hand servers of excellent quality, I think about one million US dollars is enough."

"Okay, then that's it. Buy enough servers first to ensure that our core software will not lose data when it runs." Zhou Yujie confirmed, and then continued: "However, for security reasons, the two groups of servers cannot be put together, so there is also a warehouse to rent. At the same time, some basic data that does not involve core but has a large amount can be placed in a third-party database at the same time."

Whether it is a third party or a large company's own server, there will be several reserves and distributed in different places. Normally, there are 3 to 5. The purpose of this is to prevent data loss, because this is an unbearable loss for any giant company, and BAT can't do it either.

Spending millions of dollars to buy servers is crazy for ordinary startups, because they can completely contract data storage and then build their own servers when the company grows in the future. But for Toutiao, this model has certain risks, especially now it has attracted the attention of many large companies.

As for having one million active users, there is no need to worry. Venture capital will work hard to give money. Toutiao will not accept financing for the time being, but Quxin will build a server at that time and rent a part of it to Toutiao.

"Okay, then I'm going to start preparing to recruit people and purchase servers now." Lin Youde nodded and said. His task is the heaviest next time. Teng Xun will soon advertise AppTrea. He also has to keep an eye on it to prevent the influx of traffic and cause the server to be paralyzed. In that case, a golden opportunity will be wasted.

"By the way, I will discuss with you about the company's welfare." Zhou Yujie said: "The company's funds were short before, and some things could be simple. Now the company is at least much more abundant in terms of funds, so I plan to rent a few houses for you. It's not very luxurious, but it must be like a residence, and I will rent a room, the same environment as you."

Employees are the most core asset of the company, which another gentleman named Zhou said 100 years ago.

If you are twice as good as your employees, then your employees will get ten times more rewards. This sentence cannot be said 100%, but there are still 70 to 80, especially these employees who accompany you to start a business. Currently, because the company's business is developing well, Zhou Yujie will not give shares, but it is still okay to increase some work, bonuses, accommodation or insurance benefits, etc., and even in the future, these people will be given priority.

"Okay, I'll thank Mr. Zhou for my brothers. However, the rental price nearby is very high. We rent two three-bedroom and one living room suite, which is just right for 6 people." Lin Youde was not pretentious and accepted it calmly. His brothers followed him to Shangshanghai. Naturally, he also needed to fight for better benefits for his brothers. But after all, the company is still in its early stages and there is no need to enjoy too much welfare, so renting two suites is enough.

"Okay, I'll arrange this matter." Zhou Yujie nodded and said, "Call Tao Weidong over and I have something to do to find him."

"Okay." Lin Youde nodded and walked out.

Soon, Tao Weidong rushed over. He was younger than Lin Youde, and looked about 30 years old. He had only been in the IT industry for four or five years.

"Mr. Zhou, are you calling me?" Tao Weidong greeted after coming in.

"Sit down." Zhou Yujie waved his hand and asked again: "Potter, I have read your resume. Have you studied in the United States before?"

"It's not considered studying abroad, it's just an exchange student." Tao Weidong shook his head and smiled: "I've been in the United States for a year and a half."

Zhou Yujie asked: "Which city?"

Tao Weidong said: "Los Angeles."

Zhou Yujie smiled and said, "This is pretty good. That's the birthplace of Silicon Valley."

Tao Weidong nodded and said, "This is just that my school is just like that. I can't find a suitable job there, and my family can't afford to continue studying abroad for graduate school, so I have to come back."

"This is a pity." Zhou Yujie nodded and said, "I am going to arrange for someone to go to the United States to do something. The whole company can speak English, and only you, Lin Youde and I, Lin Youde, cannot go there. If you want, this task will be handed over to you?"

"Go to the United States? What kind of work?" Tao Weidong asked in confusion. According to the current company's business, it is unlikely that there will be any intersection with the United States?
