Chapter 257, there is a problem with the database
With a word of help, Alice certainly agreed unconditionally.
As for the reason...
14 Just look at Beren's figure.
The metric 172cm standard figure, and a pair of long legs account for 110cm. The silver hair and beautiful melon-shaped face are perfectly matched, just right. Although this combination is not as good as the Victoria's Secret supermodel, it happens to be Alice's most acceptable beauty.
"Come with me."
Seeing Alice nodding decisively, Beren waved his hand and pulled her hand and walked up. Sissi followed unconditionally.
But seeing her purposefully walking towards a corner of the supermarket, Alice curiously said, "Do you want me to buy bread for you?"
"No, come."
With just one sentence, Beren suddenly turned around and entered the employee channel!
When the surrounding environment calmed down, she immediately faced the two of them, showing a hint of embarrassment: "Actually, Alice, Sissi, this shopping mall is our property."
"What? No?"
Alice was really surprised. She looked left and right and happened to see an employee coming out of a room: "Ah, Miss Beren, you are here."
Well, it turns out that there is a background, it is not the attitude that customers should have if they mistakenly enter the employee area.
Beren said to the young man: "Is Uncle Wisk in the computer room?"
The young man nodded and said, "I'm still worried. Are you finding a helper?"
"Yes, Alice is a great master in this field!"
As he said that, Beren looked at Alice again: "That's right, Alice, the computers in our mall have been constantly having problems since June, and there are always data statistics errors. I have found programmers from several large companies but failed to solve the problem. You are a major shareholder of Microsoft. Can you help me, right?"
Seeing Beren's delicate face with a sincere look, Alice would not have any reason to object, and immediately nodded again and said, "No problem, leave it to me, but Phil, this shopping mall... is it really yours?"
Alice couldn't help but be curious. Even Sissi smiled bitterly and said, "It's right in Windsor Town. I said Phil. We've been to 'Alice' for less than four or five times this month. Have you never told us?"
Listening to Sissi calling out the name of "Alice" in the mall, Alice looked at the sky speechlessly...to the ceiling.
Alice wasn't too bored to investigate this senior sister, but this was normal. She stood out from thousands of applicants in the first year Eaton started recruiting girls. These girls must have outstanding features, and this geographical advantage is also a kind of qualification.
"This... is just because I am at the school, so I can't just say it casually."
So, Beren smiled a little embarrassedly. She folded her hands together and begged to the two again earnestly: "Please don't tell others if it's okay? Although this can indeed bring more noise to the mall, the impact is not very good after all. Otherwise, after this time, I will give you a membership card alone?"
"This idea is good, I like it~"
Alice laughed and patted Beren on the shoulder: "But don't say these useless things, little boss lady, hurry up and take us to your computer room!"
Using computer databases to count shopping mall transactions is undoubtedly a precedent created by Walmart, and its operating model actually brought endless inspiration to the later online shopping model. Whether it is the statistics of the sales of various products or the mechanism of highly coordinated global distribution station operations with informatization, this kind of big data was gradually established as early as the 1970s. Someone once counted that the number of computers used by Walmart was far more than any organization or company in the world.
If Alice remembers correctly, it was during the period from 1985 to 1987 that Walmart installed a company-specific satellite communication system, allowing two-way sound and data transmission between the headquarters, distribution center and stores. At this time, there were a total of 4,000 Walmart branches around the world. In this way, they could all contact the headquarters through their own terminals, and the cost savings were totally counted in billions!
And in this process, do they all need to order with companies in the computer industry?
Just Beren's request for help made Alice suddenly realize that she had a potential super big customer that had not been discovered yet!
How many routers, switches and related accessories are needed for the entire Walmart information management system?
"Alice Alice Alice!"
Xixi was speechless.
"well?"
Alice came to her senses and realized that it was not when she had been taken into the computer room by Beren. Just next to the desk that originally belonged to the administrator, a young man was looking at her with admiration.
"Miss Alice, it's a great honor to see you. My name is Jimmy Warren. I bought Microsoft stocks and made tens of thousands of dollars in a row!"
It turned out that I met a fan. Alice greeted him, "Yes, that's really my honor, but Jimmy, don't be too anxious to sell it. I promise you that Microsoft's stock is definitely the most valuable blue-chip stock. Just hold it in your hand and wait for the dividends. Don't rush to repay the loan."
"No problem! Oh...by the way, Miss Beren, that...is...this..."
Young Jimmy asked Alice to sit down and pointed to the computer and said, "The first time something went wrong was a month ago. We found that the sales and transaction volume of the goods in the database could not match, but it was just understood as a program failure at that time. But..."
"However, this month, there have been four to five mistakes of the same type, causing us a lot of losses."
Beren continued: "Alice, we spent a lot of money to hire several programmers but couldn't find out the problem. If you can really recover our losses, I will definitely give you Zhang Chao Supreme VIP card, with a 50% discount for life!"
Xixi burst into laughter, and Alice also pursed her lips and laughed: "Then I'm very much looking forward to it. If 'Alice' can open the whole world like Walmart, this card will be a perfect match. But to be honest, why did your family give this name to this mall?"
While complaining, Alice had already started working mode.
As a shopping mall database system, it is built on the Unix system. It is a powerful multi-user, multi-tasking operating system that supports multiple processor architectures. The system stability is far from comparable to Windows systems. If the Microsoft series before Win7 had to worry about its blue screen from time to time, then Unix can be said to be running for a month without redundancy. Before the emergence of similar products from Microsoft and other companies, one of them was almost the only operating system in the server field.
With Alice's ability, it can be said that unless it is a real smart computer that has not yet been released, it is no problem to play with any operating system. In the blink of an eye, her fingers quickly typing on the keyboard. Countless windows and countless commands appeared on the screen instantly, and continued to appear and disappeared with extremely high dynamics!
Jimmy, who was watching, immediately took a breath.
Did Beren's colleague whisper in this scene: "It's amazing, right?"
Jimmy Warren had no intention of answering. He looked at the familiar computer, the various windows and command words that appeared madly on it, and then looked at Alice's fingers as fast as "The Wild Bee Flying", and he was completely stunned.
"My...god!"
Alice naturally heard little Jimmy's feelings. She could tell from the young man's temperament that Ten was an ordinary graduate of the computer department of an ordinary university. She was definitely not a master, but it was more than enough to fool an ordinary businessman and be an administrator in the computer room of an ordinary company.
The database failed four or five times in a month, and there were too many reasons for this kind of accident, so Alice’s first thing was to check for software vulnerabilities.
It is still the king of the database field in 1986. Although Oracle has been established for nine years, it has not yet developed to the later stage of surpassing ibm. This small supermarket host does not use Oracle, but an old product earlier than that, and the data model is very primitive.
It was so original that Alice kept staring at these extremely backward program codes.
At the same time, I started to recite it in pieces.
"It's a pity that I don't have the money to invest in Oracle now. This bastard is also going public this year, and his annual income has soared to more than 50 million. It's a pity, it's a pity that I have to wait for a while..."
This company has an unparalleled position in the Internet era. After all, it is the world's largest database provider. Anyone who knows the information age knows how much it means to the whole world. It can be said that it is simply the position of Cisco in the concept of "Internet"!
If you really want to invest in Oracle, it is actually simple. Alice only needs to imitate what she did at Microsoft. Unfortunately, if you invest in a company, it is not enough to just hand over the things to the other party. Whether it is patent application, subsequent training and guidance for corporate employees, etc., it is a busy pace. In the past two years, Alice built Cisco with technical achievements, joined Microsoft, and has made great achievements in other fields. How can she have the time to participate in Oracle?
After all, the presence of such a database is still a little low. If this bastard hadn't been listed at the beginning of this year, Alice wouldn't even think of such a company...
"Damn it, damn Larry Ellison, why did he be born so early..."
