Chapter 3204 Verification Code

If someone else said this, Lao Ma might not believe it.

Zhou Buqi is different.

If he says he can do it, then there is a high probability that he can really do it.

Boss Ma asked again: "What is the market value of Aisda after its listing? I saw the latest news that Xiaomi completed a new round of financing of 10 billion US dollars, and its valuation reached 500 billion US dollars. It's only been a few years?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Xiaomi has done a great job. It has expanded from mobile phones to other fields. Otherwise, Mr. Lei would not dare to bet with Gree."

"Lei Jun came to me some time ago and talked to me for several hours."

"What to talk about?"

"I want to learn from Alibaba's development strategy."

Boss Ma said this with great pride.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "We should learn more. Xiaomi wants to move beyond the field of smartphones and break into more traditional hardware manufacturing industries. The resistance will be great. We have to carve through mountains one by one. Many of the competitors we face are even state-owned enterprises."

Although all are Internet companies, Alibaba is different from Ziweixing, Penguin, Baidu, and NetEase.

Alibaba’s several core businesses were all created under the leadership of Boss Ma.

Other Internet companies all follow the general trend and take off and succeed when the wind blows. But many of Alibaba’s businesses are not created out of thin air. Even Zhou Buqi can’t do this.

Other Internet companies are all passive in nature. Once the general environment and infrastructure are in place, they will launch related businesses.

Alibaba is different.

Boss Ma always adopts proactive strategies.

When there was no favorable environment, he rushed forward at the risk of going to jail, and eventually brought about changes in the environment. Online payment, online micro-loans, free remittances, online payment, etc. were all businesses he took the initiative to develop.

Especially in the field of e-commerce, private express delivery was a gray industry back then and was not recognized by the mainstream. It was the development of e-commerce driven by Taobao that brought efficient and convenient private express delivery into the mainstream vision and gained official recognition.

Compared with Alibaba, other Internet people, including Zhou Buqi, are more likely to adopt a "free-rider" strategy, waiting for others to provide opportunities and then seizing them, rather than actively creating opportunities.

After all, domestic policy risks are very high and most people don’t have the courage to do so.

In terms of personal style, Mr. Ma has inherited the spirit of the older generation of entrepreneurs, who are willing to risk their lives and take risks. After all, for a long time, they had ambitions but little room to display them. When they have room, they are really full of fighting spirit and don't care about anything.

Boss Ma asked: "Isn't Aistar worth much more than Xiaomi?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "That's for sure. Astar is number one in the world, and Xiaomi isn't even number one in China. The market value should be able to reach 1200 billion US dollars, or at least more than 1000 billion US dollars. After all, Astar's profit is not good enough, not even half of Samsung Electronics, and Samsung Electronics' current market value is only 2700 billion US dollars."

Boss Ma said: "Not high!"

Zhou Buqi said calmly, "The price-earnings ratio of the hardware industry is not high, and it cannot be compared with the Internet. Apple's high market value is supported by its amazing profits."

Boss Ma smiled and said, "If you ask me, smart phones still have to rely on the Internet."

"You do not understand."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand.

Boss Ma was choked and said angrily: "What do you think of the domestic cloud computing industry? Amazon Cloud has entered the domestic market. It is going to muddy the waters!"

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi was a little surprised. "Amazon Cloud? In the domestic Internet industry, is there still room for foreign companies to survive? Alibaba Cloud is so incompetent that it is afraid of Amazon Cloud? Are you so scared of fighting on your own soil?" Boss Ma snorted, "Amazon Cloud is mainly aimed at e-commerce customers."

"Aiming at Alibaba Cloud?" Zhou Buqi laughed. "That's not surprising. In overseas markets, Amazon Cloud is no match for Ziwei Cloud, let alone the domestic market. The only thing Amazon Cloud can boast of is their advantage in e-commerce services."

Boss Ma said: "Amazon Cloud has lowered its prices since its launch, and Alibaba Cloud will follow suit. All its products will be reduced by 30% to follow suit. Don't blame me for reminding you that the domestic cloud computing industry will usher in a very fierce industry in the future."

"Oh."

"If you snatch any orders from Ziweiyun, don't come to me."

"Hmm?" Zhou Buqi finally understood what he meant and laughed. "You're beating around the bush. Just say it straight! Is Alibaba Cloud going to attack and grab Ziwei Cloud's business? It's market competition. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Boss Ma said: "I heard that 12306% of the traffic for online train ticket purchases on 75 is handled by Ziwei Cloud."

"may be."

Zhou Buqi no longer cared.

Boss Ma smiled and said, “Alibaba Cloud will share some of the burden.”

Zhou Buqi said: "This kind of business can't make much money, right?"

"Earn a brand." Boss Ma did not hide it. "Getting this order is equivalent to having an important endorsement. Sales can also be more relaxed, and there is a chance to get more government and enterprise business."

"Oh." Zhou Buqi's reaction was quite calm. "Whatever."

This ticket purchasing website is outsourced by the relevant departments.

Ziweixing only provides elastic cloud services, just to undertake the huge traffic of the train ticket website to ensure the smooth and stable operation of the product. As for the front-end and operation of the product, it is outsourced to other related companies.

This company with connections is very powerful.

If you want to make more money, you have to add advertising.

But the Train Ticket App is a national product, how can it have advertisements?

Others have a solution.

When confirming payment, a verification code is required.

This verification code has advertising attributes, can display some advertising content, and can also obtain artificial intelligence orders.

With the rise of artificial intelligence, many companies are doing AI testing, and they all need to find samples. For example, what is a red light and what is a green light needs to be determined by humans, and then the machine learns, and then the machine can distinguish between red and green lights.

In this identification process, many companies have cooperated with verification codes.

This is normal and is done both at home and abroad.

But the train ticket operating company is too greedy. In order to grab the orders of using verification codes for AI recognition, it does not distinguish the content at all, and there are many large-scale AI recognition needs. For example, which of the following pictures are C cups, which pictures are black stockings...

It has brought about a huge negative impact on society.

At this time, Ziwei Cloud released part of the train ticket App business to Alibaba Cloud, indicating that it was only a transfer of part of the traffic taking over business, which did not involve the front-end and operation areas. It could be regarded as a sign of the innocence of the innocent.

Don't try to make trouble, this has nothing to do with Ziweiyun.
