Alibaba's listing has created a large number of millionaires and multimillionaires. It also marks that the domestic Internet market has moved from chaos to order. The head of the third game of BAT has also taken shape, and the friends of time are still chasing after him.

Time's MM communication tool has grown rapidly, with the number of users exceeding 30 million, and the number of online users has also exceeded one million. However, because MM has no hierarchy, it is more focused on communication and socialization, and it is more pure, and the user growth rate has been good, and it is mainly MM on the mobile side, and the user growth data far exceeds that of Tengxun.

The value-added income of Time Friends is mainly virtual items and gifts, and on a social networking website, Friends Network enhances user communication with a variety of paid or free, temporary or permanent gifts. However, value-added services can only be regarded as a small head, and there are some mobile and telecom value-added services, and the open platform has grown, and advertising is the big one. It's a pity that the income in the first nine months of this year is only more than 100 million soft girl coins, which is far lower than the income of Tengxun. Even with the addition of game revenue, there is still a big gap.

Time Games is mainly DNF and CrossFire and Mgame gaming platforms. In particular, CrossFire (CF), with its excellent performance and good user experience, directly stillborn a shooting game jointly developed by Tengxun and others. It also helped Time Games become one of the top game companies in China in terms of game revenue, with a revenue of more than 1 billion soft girl coins in the first three quarters. Historically, Tengxun's income this year is 3.8 billion soft sister coins, and the sum of time friends may not reach 1.5 billion, and the gap is still not small.

Watching Ma Ali bragging everywhere, Zhou Shi was also a little tired. I don't know why these people suddenly regarded him as a loser, or if someone was playing tricks behind his back. Time's propaganda department still needs to be improved.

"How is it? Ali is no worse than Amazon!" After the listing, Ma Ali became high-spirited, pulled Zhou Shi to chat, and said here.

Before Alibaba's listing, a reporter interviewed Bezos, who praised Maali as the best entrepreneur in China. Another reporter asked him what he thought of Zhou Shi, and Bezos said that Zhou Shi could become one of the most influential entrepreneurs in the world. Balabala's made everyone think that Bezos was praising Amazon for being very good in the future, but they didn't know that Zhou Shi had already agreed with Bezos that he would not stay on Amazon for a long time. However, he also signed an agreement with him not to engage in the video industry for three years after leaving Amazon. Bezos's praise for Zhou Shi is more because of Zhou Shi's perception of the Internet. Ma Ali must have been unhappy when he heard such an evaluation, a little kid who used to work here is now standing on his head and has received more recognition than him in the world.

"Amazon is a high-tech company, Ali is a retail company, and the two are not comparable. ”

"Why isn't Ali a high-tech company?" said Ma Ali

Zhou Shi smiled and said nothing, isn't this obvious!

"Tell me what the Amazon has to break up. "Maali

"Cloud computing, which I talked about before, has become a reality at Amazon. That's one of the most important reasons I chose Amazon. "Zhou Shi

"You've been talking about cloud computing for so long, tell me what its meaning is and what its value is. "Maali

"He can greatly reduce everyone's entrepreneurial costs and operating costs. As an example, let's take an example, let's say you're going to start a dot-com company. Traditionally, you'd have to have a lot of start-up capital, because you're buying computers and software, you're renting a computer room, and you're hiring someone to manage and maintain the computers. When your company is operating, the business will inevitably be good and bad, and in order to operate normally when the business is good, your manpower and hardware must have a certain advanced configuration, which also costs money. What's worse is that both hardware and software manufacturers will frequently launch new versions, and if you don't want to be abandoned by the technological frontier, you have to spend money and effort to constantly update. But with cloud computing, the situation is different: computers and software can use cloud computing, when the business is good, use a little more, when the business is bad, use a little less, and the cost is calculated according to the actual amount of gas consumption like the settlement of gas bills, without any advanced configuration. A virtual server can solve the problem with just a few mouse clicks......" Zhou Shi said for a long time, maybe he still didn't explain it, Ma Ali was still a little puzzled.

"If we want to understand cloud computing, we must first know what cloud computing is, I think cloud computing is a pay-as-you-go model, which provides convenient, available, on-demand network access, and enters a configurable pool of computing resources (resources include: storage, services, networks, servers and application software) These resources can be provided quickly, and the advantage of cloud computing is that it only requires very little management work to provide fast and efficient resources. Zhou Shi then concluded: "Cloud computing is actually to be a supplier of basic facilities such as water, electricity, and coal in the Internet era, which is a project that can be built for everlasting." ”

"After listening to what you said, it feels very reasonable, why don't you do it?"

"To do this, a lot of money is needed, especially in the mainland, the infrastructure is not perfect, and the demand has not been cultivated. It may take about ten years to continue to invest, but Friends does not have such a large cash flow to support this project. "Zhou Shi

"Then you're not ready to develop cloud computing?" said Ma Ali

"No, if the time is right, maybe I will start the cloud computing project next year. Zhou Shi didn't hesitate, no matter how much he said, it was useless, everything had to be done. Today's entrepreneurship is not like the initial stage of the Internet, where an idea and an idea can be favored by venture capital, and then develop a great company. Now it's about resources, whether it's manpower, technology, capital, or operational level. The more you arrive, the more obvious this phenomenon becomes, there is no successful experience, and if you want to get angel investment, it is basically a dream.

"I have reminded Robin Lee and you several times that I hope that we will not lag too far behind the United States in the development of high-tech fields such as the Internet. And cloud computing is obviously one of the most important directions in the future. "Zhou Shi

Ma Ali was also very unhappy by Zhou Shi's words, maybe he was in deep thought, the alien's face always made it difficult for him to know what the other party was thinking.

In the end, Ma Ali left without saying anything, and Zhou Shi and the others also returned to the hotel.

"What are you talking to Ma Ali about? It's his business how to develop, and you're going to make him very uncomfortable. "Li Ying

"I think this thing is right, I will do it! Now there are some things that don't need to be so concerned, I want to make our lives more comfortable!" Zhou Shi

"Is this worth it?" said Li Ying

"There is no worthiness, only willingness to sacrifice a little of one's own interests for a more ambitious goal. The cloud computing market in mainland China is very important, and it is something we can't monopolize, so my answer is: I do. Zhou Shi said with a firm gaze.
