Reborn multinational giant

At the same time that Fang Zhe gave Li Wenbin a death mission, Mr. Ma also called the head of Alibaba Cloud Wang Jian to the office at the Alibaba headquarters in Hangzhou.

"Sit!" After Wang Jian came in, President Ma just said a word lightly, which made Wang Jian feel a little uneasy.

To be honest, no matter what words Mr. Ma says, Wang Jian's mentality cannot be stable. Even now, the thing Wang Jian fears most is to meet Mr. Ma!

Since the establishment of the Alibaba Cloud Computing Department two years ago, the company has invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources in the cloud computing department, but the contribution of the cloud computing department to the company can only be described in two words, if it were not for Alibaba’s own Taobao. With the support of e-commerce businesses such as Tmall, the top leader Ma still has confidence in the cloud computing department. I am afraid that the cloud computing department should be dissolved long ago.

In the past two years, Huizhong Cloud, a domestic cloud computing competitor, has spurred Alibaba Cloud by several blocks in terms of market share and performance revenue in the cloud computing field. What face is there to face President Ma!

"I heard that the 12306 paralysis has caused a lot of trouble during the recent period. People all over the country are discussing with the Ministry of Railways. In my opinion, this is just a good opportunity for our cloud computing business to turn around!"

President Ma ignored Wang Jian's inner anxiety and entanglement, and directly talked about business.

"Fighting?" Wang Jian didn't listen to the other words that Mr. Ma said, but the word of turning over was etched into his mind.

Yes, the current Alibaba Cloud is not severely crushed by its rival Huizhongyun. The term "turning over" by President Ma can be said to be more appropriate.

President Ma is very displeased with Wang Jian’s trance mentality. He can tolerate Alibaba Cloud’s huge investment in the past two years but no output. He can tolerate Alibaba Cloud’s two-year defeat by rival Huizhong Cloud. He can tolerate Wang Jian, who is a big man, crying and crying in sympathy at the annual meeting, but he cannot tolerate that Wang Jian, the head of Alibaba Cloud, has lost his fighting spirit and has no faith!

Had it not been for that Wang Jian was the person in charge of the cloud computing department appointed by President Ma himself, and Wang Jian was also the core technology leader of Alibaba Cloud, I am afraid that President Ma had long been thinking about changing generals, and this time, it is President Ma. Give Wang Jian the last chance.

"It's not terrible that competitors are strong. What's terrible is that we have lost our confidence and fighting spirit!

Alibaba was founded in 1999 and only made 1 yuan in 2003. If we are all like you, I am afraid that Alibaba will not survive the year 2000!"

In a few words from President Ma, Wang Jian stabilized his mood again, and President Ma continued:

"12306 itself is a large-scale project, and it is also a very influential government project. If we can win this project, it will not only win a large amount of performance and revenue for your cloud computing department, but also Later, when there are other government projects, we will be easier to fight for and more convincing to reach cooperation! So this time, we will win this project at all costs!"

January 9, the 16th lunar month of the lunar calendar, less than half a month before the Spring Festival.

At this time of year, the Ministry of Railways, which is responsible for the national railway transportation during the Spring Festival, must be counted as one of the busiest administrative departments in the country.

However, this year, in addition to the usual busyness, the office building of the Ministry of Railways has become more solemn and solemn. The ordinary employees of the Ministry of Railways know that these days, the leaders above are not in a beautiful mood!

The Spring Festival transport event has been very busy, but what is worse than this is that the paralysis of 12306 has led to accusations and discussions on the Ministry of Railways by the people and the media across the country.

After the news that 12306 invested 200 million yuan was exposed on the Internet, the Ministry of Railways was even more panicked. Not to mention the netizens across the country, but many of their own internal employees felt that the 200 million yuan website was built like this, even if there is no shady. It became shady.

Therefore, in order to solve the problem of 12306 paralysis, in order to give a satisfactory answer and explanation to the majority of netizens and the people of the whole country, the senior leaders of the Ministry of Railways decided after several consecutive days of meetings to initiate an internal self-examination on the one hand and set up a task force to investigate 12306. Are there any violations and corruption in the construction process?

On the other hand, it listened to the suggestions of relevant technical experts and some online public opinions, and decided to hold a closed-door technical cooperation bidding meeting, inviting several units and enterprises with Internet technology capabilities across the country to discuss and solve the problems of 12306 paralysis. .

Several major Internet companies and online companies, including Huizhong, Baidu, Tencent, Alibaba, and Huawei, are all invited.

At 10 am on January 9th, Li Wenbin, the domestic head of Huizhong's cloud computing department, and a core technical backbone attended the bidding meeting as representatives of Huizhong.

Li Wenbin looked around the entire conference room, except for representatives of several state-owned enterprises and institutions such as China Mobile, who had a face, including representatives from several Internet companies such as Wang Jian of Alibaba and Zhang Yaqin of Baidu. He knew or even knew him well.

When Li Wenbin smiled and nodded to these acquaintances, Zhang Yaqin, also the person in charge of Baidu Cloud, nodded gently to him in response, while Wang Jian, the person in charge of Alibaba Cloud, just assumed that he hadn’t seen it. Not only was Li Wenbin not angry, but on the contrary. I feel sorry for Wang Jian.

He knew that when the big boss Fang Zhe gave himself the death order to win the 12306 cooperation contract, Alibaba Cloud, the most competitive one on the scene, could only fail!

Wang Jian, the person in charge of Alibaba Cloud, may have to be ridiculed by those inside Alibaba who are not optimistic about him and cloud computing. Even Li Wenbin is very curious about his future. President Ma is patient with Wang Jian. , When will it run out?

Just as Li Wenbin was thinking wildly, a head of the Ministry of Railways who presided over the bidding meeting in the conference room said to the conference microphone in front of him:

"Experts, friends and representatives from all units and business circles, good morning. I am..."

"The 12306 website is responsible for the online ticket sales of the national passenger railway lines. Its system complexity and peak network traffic are far from comparable to ordinary shopping websites and booking websites.

In the future, the mobile version of the 12306 application will also be launched. By then, the number of visitors and traffic of the entire website during special holidays such as National Day and Spring Festival will also increase exponentially.

Therefore, we specially invite everyone to come over today in the hope that we can discuss a reasonable and feasible solution and give the people of the country a stable and satisfactory ticketing website as soon as possible!"
