Chapter 377 Targeting overseas markets (3)

First of all, it has a large number of visits and is the only official online ticket purchasing channel.

Although not everyone buys tickets online.

But this still does not prevent the website from selling more than 3 billion tickets a year.

What is the concept of three billion tickets? If these tickets were connected end to end, they could circle the earth more than 7 times.

And because of the habits of Chinese people, during the Spring Festival, the number of visits to this website will easily exceed 100 billion times.

Lin Hui remembers seeing a set of data about the Spring Festival of 2020 in his previous life.

The website received an astonishing 149.5 billion visits a day, with an average of 1.7 million clicks per second.

With such a terrifying amount of visits, if it were an ordinary website, it would probably be paralyzed long ago.

In addition to the number of visits, the ticket grabbing system is also far more complicated than people think.

For example: A random high-speed train may involve more than ten stations. Among these dozen stations, there are many possibilities for customers to choose a certain station to get on the train and a certain station to get off. In addition,

When it comes to seat settings, there are three common seat options: business seats, first-class seats, and second-class seats. So just by purchasing tickets for one high-speed train, users have quite a lot to choose from.

And this is just one route!

You know, there are nearly 2,000 passenger stations across the country. At their peak, they operate more than 10,000 passenger trains every day.

From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to describe the options for purchasing tickets as “a plethora of options”.

Moreover, tickets are still a dynamic product, and tickets can be purchased, refunded, or changed at any time.

This requires the website to monitor dynamic changes at all times and respond immediately, so it depends on the amount of calculations, complexity, and load.

It is said that in the previous life, the complexity of several domestic e-commerce giants such as Bao, Dong and Xixi was not even one-fifth of that of 123O6.

In addition to the above-mentioned problems, there are also security protection issues. The 123O6 system contains a huge amount of personal information. If there is a slight mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Some media once made statistics that 123O6 received as many as 820,000 risk requests per second.

A website like 123O6 was built in 2012 and invited bids from all over the world.

Many international giants, including Microsoft and IBM, came to bid, but none of these giants could be the first to take advantage.

In the end, it was the domestic technical team that completed the website.

The domestic technical team has the strength to handle such a website, and the corresponding technical strength is not weak.

But based on this, it can be said that domestic software technology is strong, right?

It is an indisputable fact that some very commonly used websites are as good as shi and have a very poor experience.

Lin Hui feels that whether the domestic technical team is strong or not does not depend on the difficulty of the technology itself.

It's about how determined you are about a product.

Do you really want to get something done?

If you really want to get something done and are willing to take action, there is no reason why it can't be done.

There is a similar expression in The Analects of Confucius:

"The beauty of Tangdi is the opposite. Don't you think that the room is far away?"

Confucius said: "If you don't think about it yet, how far away can you be?"

(An ancient poem wrote this) "The flowers of Tang Di are swaying gracefully. How can I not miss you? It's just because my home is too far away."

Confucius said: "He still doesn't really miss it. If he really misses it, why is it so far away?"

Although the above statement has a rather idealistic tendency.

But Lin Hui still feels that if he really wants to get something done, there are very few obstacles that Chinese people can’t overcome.
