Global monopoly of technology

Hangzhou, Ali headquarters.

In a conference room, the largest domestic e-commerce giant is also one of the famous "BALT" Big Four, Ali, and all of its senior executives are gathered together.

For the recent Ali, the arrival of the new year is also frequent and ambitious. A series of plans have been rolled out or brewed, which inevitably caused business chaos and the person in charge resigned.

Mr. Zhang, who has just joined Ari for less than two years, was ordered to take charge of Dibao Mall and offered to help him. He has already seen that B2C is a major trend in the future, and he can’t watch it die and cause Ari to miss this trend.

Mr. Zhang, the “temporary worker” not only quickly led Dibao on the right track, but this year he also invented and established the “Double Eleven” shopping festival that may profoundly change the shopping habits of China and even the world.

Although Luo Sheng is the most dazzling tech giant of this era, his brilliance can't cover the brilliance of others.

However, Mr. Zhang also had a car overturn. In Luo Sheng's last life, Mr. Zhang encountered the "October Siege" incident when he took office. The reason was that he increased the original merchant’s technical service fee and default deposit several times.

In the end, President Ma came forward to compromise at a critical moment to settle the matter.

However, at this time Dibao Mall has not changed its name to "Tmall", and I don't know if it will be changed by Mr. Zhang. After all, the development trajectory of this world has changed too much.

In the conference room at the moment, Ma sits freely and freely...Well, to put it directly, it's just two legs on the table, don't be too casual.

"I don’t know anything about technology, but I know that no matter how wide a moat is, innovation cannot be worth it. Innovation has always been a problem for large companies. We really can’t compare to Bluestar Group’s innovation. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Silicon Valley has to be convinced. It’s no better than the super-large scale of this company, but we can barely be regarded as a large company, at least we have encountered innovation problems."

It was Mr. Ma who was speaking, but for a moment he looked at Mr. Zhang: “Redefining things is already a habit of your Xiaoyaozi. You often use Azure to redefine smartphones as an example. What do you think?”

Faced with the speech of his immediate boss, Mr. Zhang glanced at him, thinking for a moment, and then made a powerful speech: "I think what we need now is not to analyze people's past tense behaviors to predict the future, but like Azure mobile phones. Break a path that no one has seen, redefine the new things in the future."

It is worth mentioning that the "Xiaoyaozi" at this time is not yet Ari's partner, but is definitely one of the core executives of this domestic e-commerce giant.

Having said that, Mr. Zhang looked around at everyone at the meeting, and finally his eyes fell on Mr. Ma and said unswervingly: "I still insist on the'All-in' wireless terminal, although there are currently less than 30 or 40 million mobile Internet users. I mean the real mobile Internet users. I think this is a good thing. Even if there is no past, good things have a future."

After speaking, Mr. Zhang took out an Azure-3G version of the smartphone from his pocket and swiped it on the desktop of the screen a few times before showing it to everyone, adding: "Everyone, know when I see the desktop of the mobile phone. What's the feeling in my heart? When I repeatedly failed to find the Dibao app from this 4-inch screen, or even when there was no one of our Ali apps, I would always be surprised in a cold sweat. The hair is standing upright."

"B2C is the general trend of the future, and the mobile Internet is even more so. In any case, we must complete the transition from the PC era to the mobile era as soon as possible. This is a thrilling leap, but it really cannot be delayed for a long time. It’s almost a leap, not to mention Bluestar Technology. If you go down as soon as possible, there is a good chance that the mobile phone will become the world's largest mobile e-commerce platform. This leap is very thrilling, but the risk is worth taking."

Everyone looked at each other, but Mr. Ma said nothing.

But in the end, he made a decision at the meeting and decided to make Ali a thrilling jump.

This internal meeting is of historical significance to Ali. At this meeting, President Ma finally made a decision and decided to fully deploy the mobile Internet.

However, the meeting process is not over yet, Mr. Ma said: "Let's talk about the recent rumors. There is no wind and no waves, but no one can say anything. Is it true or not? Is there any reliable news?"

Of course, he was referring to the news that the Bluestar technology cloud service Nebula Star-Cloud was open sourced recently, and it is still circulating wildly. Major companies are all fantasizing, and Ali is no exception.

"Have!"

Everyone looked at Mr. Cai, and he was the one who just responded. For a moment, he added: "I have a good relationship with Lu Qi, who is currently the highest person in charge of cloud computing services at Bluestar Technology. I made a private call yesterday afternoon to chat. , Also talked about this matter."

President Ma smiled with interest: "So, have you spied on secret information? Come and listen!"

Mr. Cai smiled and said: "Lu Qi's answer is that the current rumors are false, but he also told me that Bluestar Technology is going to be an open source project for cloud services and will soon announce it."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone suddenly realized and was surprised.

Mr. Ma laughed and laughed: "I believe that the current trend of open source comments in the industry is the result of the bluestar group's self-directed and self-acted. It is definitely not only us, but most of others are also spying on intelligence."

An executive at the meeting said: "Is that the subtext of Bluestar Group's move that is to say...I want to play cloud computing and wait for my news? I, Luo Sheng, take you to play?"

President Ma nodded slowly: "Eight or Nine will not leave ten."

Mr. Zhang who attended the meeting could not help sighing: "Bluestar Technology really did this. Once a new open source project comes out, within three to five years, there will be various clouds all over the world, and Nebulas Star-Cloud may In the future cloud computing field, it will form the status of'Zhongxing Gongyue'. He is the best and wants to shake Luo Sheng's dominance in the cloud service field. It is almost slim. The strong are always strong."

Speaking of this, Mr. Zhang couldn't help but jokingly said: "Competing with such a person, I can now appreciate how difficult it is for Mr. Li."

When all the managers at the meeting heard these words, they couldn't help but let out a burst of laughter. No matter how Mr. Zhang heard these words, he was a little gloat. You must know that Yunge Search is now bit by bit eroding the search for whiteness. Kingdom, and Baidu has nothing to do with it. This is the most helpless and most terrifying.

At this time, a senior executive of Ari who was in the meeting could not help but said: “Speaking of this, I have a question that I am actually very confused. The Bluestar Technology Group has started from the first year of its establishment, to be precise, the second year. We have been fighting with Teng Xun and Baidu since 2004. The competition has been fought for more than 5 years now, but for such a long time, the other party has not been involved in the e-commerce business, do you look down on us?"

Hearing this, President Ma immediately spoke: "Hey, I wish he looked down on us, and finally killed eBay. The remaining ones have not been cleaned up. Now if the Bluestar Group makes a difference no matter where it is, domestic Internet companies No one doesn’t panic."

After a while, Mr. Cai continued to talk about his private conversation with Lu Qi: "Lu Qi suggested that Ari’s Feitian should be put aside temporarily, waiting for Bluestar’s open source platform to provide perfection for many technical pain points of the Feitian system. s solution."

At this point, Mr. Cai couldn't help but sigh, even a little helpless, his eyes were rather complicated.

And Mr. Ma said with a joking tone that made everyone chill behind his back:

"The Feitian system has a lot of technical pain points. It can be said that there are too many pain points. Our engineers don’t know how to solve them until now. They don’t know how to solve them. But before solving the pain points, we must first figure out where the Bluestar Group is coming. What are you doing, if Luo Sheng's eyes are not so good, and he accidentally solves Ali himself as a pain point, it will cause a lot of trouble."

Mr. Ma’s remarks are quite humorous, and he smiled after he said it, but no matter how he laughed, he felt that it was a strong smile. There is actually misery behind this, and even feels cold...

The executives at the meeting were either dumb or shook their heads with a wry smile.

Obviously, Ali is mixed about Bluestar Technology Group’s upcoming release of cloud computing open source projects. The good news is that the technical pain points of the Feitian system may be solved. The worry is that Luo Sheng will also solve Ali.

This is not the onset of persecution delusion, this is Boyun's quirky shopping mall, without a piece of armor on his body, and whoever stabbed him directly died.

As the helm of an enterprise, it is necessary to consider and consciously guard against first-hand awareness to be a qualified helm.

This is not the case now. The fact of cloud computing is more desperate and cruel than this, because even if you know it, be wary.

But it makes no sense.

This is the fundamental willingness that everyone present at the meeting can't help laughing.

You still have to use it, you have no choice, you have to take the risk of being solved by the other party to solve the technical pain points. Who can let you not handle the technical pain points?

If Bluestar Technology launches a cloud computing open source project, it will inevitably lead to a consequence: it will lower the barriers of the entire industry at once, and more people will play.

Ali's advantage will soon be wiped out.

There may be only dozens of companies entering this field before, and only a few may survive in the end, but now the threshold has been lowered. There may be hundreds or even thousands of companies entering this field at once, and dozens of companies may survive in the end. Home.

If Ari can't manage his skills and doesn't come in to play, he will fall behind immediately, and he won't be able to play at all.

Unless everyone is not interested in Bluestar Technology’s cloud computing open source project, ignore it and reach an alliance to confront Bluestar Technology.

Is this realistic?

The nature of human nature towards selfishness will inevitably appear as "two or five boys." Maybe here is shouting for unity to fight against the evil hegemony of Bluestar Technology. He has already taken the solutions of open source projects behind his back to build its own private cloud Up.

Therefore, even if this so-called alliance can be achieved, it will be fragile, and they will soon disintegrate without even using Bluestar Technology.

The world is bustling, the world is hustling, but Lier.

This meeting of Ari is over. The Feitian system is still advancing and cannot be stopped. The funds here cannot be saved. Ari's senior management will not really choose to trust because of Lu Qi's words.

It's not wise, it's not clever, it's stupid.

While Ari has determined that the Feitian system will continue to advance its development, he also has a backup plan. If Bluestar Technology Group really launches a reliable cloud computing open source project, then there is no other choice, otherwise It is more terrible to fall behind and will directly lose opportunities.

I have already seized the opportunity of cloud computing, and if you lose it again, you will definitely be heartbroken and unacceptable.

The price of trial and error is only a loss of some money, but if you make a mistake, the price may be an existential crisis.
