Chapter 1191 (1/2)

As for Li Mu's cooperation plan, Coca Cola itself is particularly amazing. However, no one has tried the game of issuing exchange codes for offline products and exchanging virtual currency for online platforms in the whole retail industry, so even a giant like coca cola can't understand it.

Bruce asked Li Mu a question on behalf of Coca Cola and said: ”Mr. Li, according to the plan, we only need to print a special exchange code on the inside of the product's bottle cap. So, do you provide hundreds of millions of exchange codes or not? How to exchange online? ”

Li Mu can't help but wonder that as a top 5 executive of Coca Cola, Bruce can't understand such simple online and offline interaction logic.

And it's not just him. It seems that the whole Coca Cola executives don't understand.

So it seems that in 2003, the understanding of Internet among the world's top 500 Chinese and African Internet enterprises is still very superficial. In the future, if we use the Internet to lobby in front of these enterprises, we may be able to promote more large-scale business cooperation.

Thinking of this, Li Mu explained to Bruce, ”if Coca Cola decides to cooperate with us, I will ask our technicians to develop a set of programs to generate hundreds of millions of irregular permutations and combinations in batches by combining letters and numbers. Then we will package this batch of data to you, and you only need to put these permutations and combinations together It can be printed on the inside of the bottle cap with special methods. ”

Bruce's mathematics is very poor. After a long time of thinking about it or some half understanding, he continued to ask: ”then hundreds of millions of permutations and combinations will be generated. Will they be repeated accidentally? What's more, will people see the rules, so as to crack a large number of exchange codes at one go, leading others to find that their exchange codes have been exchanged by others long ago? ”

Li Mu couldn't help laughing and said: ”Bruce, programming is a very rigorous thing, and the computer is the most obedient execution machine. As long as the programmer gives the computer a command that can't be repeated in the computer language, in theory, even if a trillion permutations and combinations are generated, as long as the combination itself has the possibility of redundancy, the permutations and combinations generated by the computer will be Never repeat. ”

”In addition, when we generate permutations and combinations, there are many ways to avoid generating rules. If an individual wants to push out the logic, it's almost impossible. Even if he tries hundreds of thousands of times in a row, he or she won't get a hit. Moreover, we will add some restrictions to the page, such as an IP address, which can be changed every 30 seconds For another time, in this way, it's impossible for the other party to use the software to batch swipe the exchange code, so the situation you said will be completely eliminated by us. ”

Bruce asked again, ”how can we allocate hundreds of millions of exchange codes to factories around the world? If we use US dollar as the exchange unit, how can users in other countries exchange it? For example, how can Chinese users exchange a code containing 10 cents YY? ”

Li Mu smiled slyly and said, ”at present, our YY currency has two settlement modes, one is RMB, the other is US dollar. Basically, all users who use PayPal use US dollar for settlement, so the scheme I give you is also for users who use PayPal and settle in US dollar.”

Bruce frowned for a moment and asked Li Mu, ”Mr. Li, do you mean that if we accept this cooperation plan, this kind of cooperation between your company and us can only be promoted in countries other than China?”

”Yes.” Li Mu nodded and laughed. ”Now the whole online payment is also like this. Basically, except for my Alipay, it is the PayPal world, and PayPal has been a US dollar settlement, so our partners can only be countries and regions outside China.”

”At that time, we can pack the generated permutations and combinations separately according to your requirements. You can make your own decisions based on your own factory situation and local sales situation all over the world. For example, if you have 50 production enterprises in countries and regions outside of China, you can do it for these 50 enterprises within your company A weight sorting, then we can sort according to your weight, and generate 50 sets of packets with different quantity correspondingly. Then we will send the packets to the corresponding enterprises, and let them produce according to the exchange code in their packets. ”

In 2003, the Internet was not strong enough, especially the efficiency of cross-border Internet was very low. Li Mu dare not promise to build a unified database for Coca Cola, so that their dozens of factories can get data from the database immediately when they are in production, because once there is a problem in the data interaction with one of the enterprises, it may affect the normal operation of the whole database Once there is a deviation, there is a high probability of problems.

So Li Mu put forward such an isolated solution for Coca Cola, dividing all the exchange codes, and each factory can get a copy of its own data, so that there is no need for online real-time communication of data, and everyone can produce their own, anyway, there will be no possibility of repetition and conflict.

Bruce probably understood Li Mu's meaning, and said gloomily: ”Mr. Li, we attach great importance to the Chinese market, but in your plan, you only avoid the Chinese market, so for us, the loss is really big. There are hundreds of millions of YY users in China, and we hope to increase Coca Cola's share in the Chinese market through the cooperation with YY The specific gravity of. ”Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: ”this problem is actually very easy to solve. I just said that most of the online payment platforms now are settled in RMB and USD. My previous plan has covered the users of USD settlement. If you want to cover the users of China, we will make another one based on China Market and RMB activities are enough. ”
