Chapter 167: Hiding a knife in a smile

A short meeting was held inside the data center. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the surface, the theme of the meeting does not involve other business, but the summary and report of the work of the previous stage, the work arrangement of the next stage, the changes in the rights and obligations of each member company, etc., which belong to the normal annual meeting.

The business development of the data center is very healthy, cloud computing and cloud storage have already been put into use, and various shared patents have been continuously obtained in related fields.

The Ministry of Information Industry of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) has awarded an innovation award to the data center, which is very important in the industry.

The higher-level authorities expressed the hope that the data center can, as always, shine in scientific and technological innovation and enterprise technology application, play a good leading role in China, and promote the upgrading and transformation of science and technology.

The origin of this meeting is closely related to the spirit of the instructions of the superiors. A series of business competitions that have recently emerged within the Skynet Alliance are in everyone's eyes. The government will not interfere in the development of enterprises and fair competition, but the significance of the data center is very important, and it does not want to cause major turmoil in the data center because of the discord between members.

Therefore, this seemingly regular meeting is of a very high standard, and the leaders of all member companies participate.

The process of the meeting quickly derived from the work of the data itself, and when it comes to the next step of cooperation and development of the data center, it is inevitable that it will involve the recent 'small unpleasantness' between Zelianke and Alibaba.

The three major portals did not make a clear statement, and the three of them together only accounted for one vote.

NetEase has a strong sense of vigilance against Tencent and Zelianke,Tencent's game business is expanding too fast,Although it seems that they are not ready to take the way of acting for large-scale online games,But their copycat is too ruthless,Who knows if it will be a copycat of a Warcraft type game out,Directly snatch NetEase's largest market at present。

As for Zelianke's good game, it has been announced, and League of Legends will be launched soon. Although it is a competitive game, it is inextricably linked to Warcraft, and no one dares to say whether it will have an impact on Warcraft.

As for Alibaba, it has nothing to do with NetEase for the time being, and the business intersection with the three major portals is very small.

Whether it is from the right to speak or the actual interests, the three major portals do not want to get involved in this troubled water.

The other two companies that really have the right to speak, Tencent and Baidu, have a very clear attitude.

"The cooperation between data center members is all-round, and in the long run, it is far more than the gains and losses of a single project, and you have experienced it firsthand over the past few years. Not to mention our three original old members, including the new Alibaba and Three Portals, we should be able to feel that the research results of the data center are like an accelerant to promote various projects, and it is precisely because of the existence of the data center that the projects of our member companies are far superior to the same projects of other companies in terms of quality. ”

Mr. Ma of Tencent is still very sincere, and he does not directly mention Zelianke and Alibaba.

But everyone can understand what this means.

In terms of Baidu, Mr. Li nodded and said: "So, I personally think that no matter what kind of contradictions and competition there are between our member companies, they are all local, and there is no need to affect the development of the entire data center." ”

Alibaba's Ma Yun smiled, the wrinkles on her face were about to squeeze together, and said: "In the data center, you can rest assured that when Alibaba joined the data center, it was coordinated by Mr. Zhao, who is still the largest natural person shareholder of Alibaba." Some people saw Zelianke start to promote Zepay, so they made a fuss and made a big fuss, saying that Zhao Zejun and Alibaba Ma Yun want to grab the market, and they want to support Jingdong and Taobao to fight in the ring, and Alibaba and Zelianke want to turn their faces and meet each other......"

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Zejun and said with a smile: "If you want me to say, this is purely for fear that the world will not be chaotic." The market for third-party payment software is so big, Taobao has Alipay, Tencent has Tenpay, Zelianke has Zepay, normal business competition has been alarmist by some people with ulterior motives, and it has been said to be like a great feud of life and death. Mr. Zhao, what was the data center in the past, and what will be it in the future, we still need sincere cooperation between us. ”

Zhao Zejun nodded: "Of course." Those people outside have nothing to do with themselves, and they don't understand the situation, and the wind is the rain. Between Zelianke and Alibaba, between the two of us and the data center, it will still be the same as before, and there will not be much change. ”

……

After the meeting, several parties had probably understood the current situation.

There will be no change in the data center for the time being, which is in line with the interests of all member companies and the requirements of the relevant departments at the higher level;

The three major portals are on the wall, Baidu is inclined to Zelianke, and Tencent chooses to stand on Alibaba's side. Of course, this kind of 'standing in line' is only spiritual at present, and there should be no substantive action.

The meeting was gentle and drizzly, and it seemed that it was still intimate, but after the meeting, the two sides did not hesitate to start the knife.

The day after the meeting, Alibaba's legal department came and brought a 'note' from Zelianke.

Due to the strategic adjustment of Alibaba Group, due to technical and market considerations, Taobao has temporarily removed Zepay from the payment platform option, and it is undecided when it will be re-launched. Alibaba Group will negotiate with Zelianke for all losses caused by this behavior in accordance with the provisions of the previous contract.

Almost at the same time, in the marketing system of Weibo, the publicity coefficient of Taobao has dropped to the lowest point. As long as JD.com has similar products, Taobao's products are almost impossible to appear in front of Weibo users.

In the first round of the knife, Zelianke suffered a loss.

Taobao's current dependence on Weibo is not too high, and Weibo publicity is the icing on the cake;

The main market before Zepay came from Zeyue, Fun and Taobao. Among them, Taobao is a big head, no matter if Taobao gives priority to protecting Alipay, its volume is there, and more than half of Zepay's business comes from Taobao.

Jingdong exclusively cooperated with Zepay, Taobao suddenly removed Zepay payment, in contrast, this part of the market share obtained in Jingdong is far less than what was lost from Taobao for the time being.

In just half a month, Zepay's market share has dropped sharply from about 5% to about 2.4%, and user activity has decreased by more than half!

This is the first time since the establishment of Alibaba Group that it has explicitly suppressed a competitor's product, and as soon as it made a move, it showed amazing power.

Zelianke, which once surprised the Internet, seems to be vulnerable at all in front of Alibaba!
