Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 736 Internationalization of Time Cloud

In April, 4 and Ganji merged, Weibo was listed on Nasdaq, and the Internet landscape was changing.Time Jumei, with a market capitalization of nearly US$58 billion, successfully issued US$1500 billion of convertible bonds.

Having money is good, and you can let go of development. The most important thing is of course e-commerce, followed by mobile payment and financial services, and then cloud computing.

Let’s not talk about the e-commerce business, which is basically stable. The biggest change is that the proportion of mobile shopping is increasing rapidly, and Jumei’s personalized recommendation algorithm works very well.Without Jiang Fan, the appeal of the mobile Taobao APP seems not to be that strong. Coupled with the influence of public opinion, Jumei APP seems to have surpassed Taobao in the app store and became the number one download in the shopping category.

Although e-commerce retail is important, it no longer requires external financial support. What needs funds most is Time Financial Services, especially mobile payment, which requires strong local promotion capabilities.Therefore, several major domestic giants have unanimously made efforts in the group buying market. Baidu officially acquired Nuomi.com, Alibaba improved the strategic position of Koubei.com, and Goose Factory once again invested in Dianping.com.

The listing of Weibo relieved Wang Xing’s financial pressure, but he led Meituan and never looked back to strengthen cooperation with Shijimei. In a world surrounded by giants, being weak is the original sin. If you cannot become a giant, you are destined to be swallowed up.Time cooperates with Meituan and uses their local promoters to quickly popularize WeChat payment at major merchants.

It is said that Uber China, which Goose Factory has a stake in, plans to acquire Yidao, which is supported by Baidu, but they and Didi Kuaidi have merged and their market share is very stable. As long as Uber Yidao can access WeChat payment, no matter what the final result is, the Internet Car-hailing is of no value to Time Jumei.

Uber China and Yidu are nothing to worry about. Although it is currently leveraging the traffic of QO and Baidu, it does not support Alipay and WeChat payment. It needs to call QO or Baidu wallet, which directly locks the upper limit of development.

In the mobile payment scenario, as long as time does not make mistakes, only WeChat Pay will win in the end. This is an obvious fact.Consumers may open Baidu wallet and QO payment because of the discount, but your payment scenarios are too few, why should they ask for trouble?

As for financial services, with the launch of Time Credit Points, the small loan business is progressing smoothly. After all, there was supply chain finance before. Now that their private bank has been established, various businesses have become more formal.

Let's put it this way, the bad debt rate of borrowing is about 1%, and the interest rate of credit loans for most individual users is 24%. Assuming that 100 yuan is borrowed out, 9900 yuan cannot be recovered, and the other 2000 yuan can earn [-] yuan a year interest, they still make money in the end.

Loan sharking is a good business, but even if it is put on the Internet, its essence cannot be changed.However, the domestic situation is special. The provision of borrowing services by Internet companies is not only an innovation, but also can make up for some defects or loopholes in the current financial system.

Time's "Jiubei and Huabei" will definitely provide services to consumers this year, and making money is almost certain, so Qu Li is not very concerned.

As for cloud computing, even if the investment in submarine optical cables is not considered, it is still doomed to lose money. In fact, Guangguang Cloud is implementing the Southeast Asia priority strategy and shouting Asia-Pacific priority.In addition to Hong Kong and Singapore, cloud computing centers also include Tokyo in Japan.In fact, Qu Li is even more radical. He wants to build data centers in Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, Vietnam, and the Philippines.

In order to develop in Southeast Asia, the leadership in North America was handed over to HP, the leadership in Japan was handed over to Sony, and the leadership in Europe was handed over to Hutchison Whampoa.Of course, all of these are limited. After paying a certain price as a technology supplier, Time Cloud can regain the dominance, and Sony and the others can also voluntarily give up.

As for why Hutchison of the Li family is willing to invest in the high-tech industry, it may be because of the special attributes of cloud computing, which is the information infrastructure of the new era.

<divclass="contentadv">It is so radical that it naturally requires financial support and technical adjustments. For example, data centers also come in different sizes, and you can also build a CDN site first...

Alibaba Cloud has adopted a different development approach from Shiguang Cloud. It focuses on the country and has come up with the concept of a smart city, which is actually a government cloud. I have to admire Ma Yun Ali's word-making ability.

Ali is playing this trick in Zhejiang Province, and Shiguang Jumei can certainly play it in Guangdong Province. Anyone who is not a baby can get local support. As for Echang Yun and Juhua Yun, they are both younger brothers in front of Shiguang Yun, but Yangcheng is The provincial capital is the best place in Guangdong Province.

In addition, Guangguang Cloud is headquartered in Beijin. Should we support local high-tech enterprises?At least for now, Shiguang Cloud is ahead of Ali Cloud in all aspects.However, this does not bring them much joy.Amazon's financial report announced that Amazon cloud computing AWS achieved revenue of US$2014 billion in 46.

Shiguang Cloud can only compete with it. The two parties are not on the same level, including Ali Cloud, which later became the king in the country, but its cloud computing revenue is less than one-seventh of Amazon Cloud.Therefore, Qu Li strongly asked Shiguang Cloud to go out. Don't be afraid of the gap at the beginning, but dare to see the red with a bayonet, otherwise Amazon and Microsoft's cloud computing advantages will become bigger and bigger.

Neither Ari nor the current Shiguangyun are the kind of ruthless characters who are good at turning against the wind. Only Chrysanthemum Factory has changed from a follower to a leader, and the team is good at fighting tough battles.

"Don't be afraid if there are gaps. It's scary if you can't find the gaps. We have many people, they have technical advantages, and we have service advantages..."

Then, Shiguangyun began the development route of technological expansion. Qu Li personally went to Singapore and made a key choice that determined the future fate of Shiguangyun: "We can be inferior to them, we can fail, but I will not allow myself to back down..."

Time raised US$30 billion this time, with 10 billion invested in Shopee and Shopify, and 10 billion invested in WeChat and Instagram.The rest was invested in Shiguang Cloud. In addition, Yinghe Telecom in Xiangjiang followed the footsteps of Shiguang Cloud and built data centers around the world.

Most of the domestic Internet giants are heroes created by the times and cannot do without the large protected pool in China. Even many years later, BAT’s international business revenue is still less than 10%, and ByteDance, which has great potential, only accounts for 20%. about.

Qu Li wants to increase the proportion of international revenue to about 10% within 30 years. This does not seem to be very difficult:

Five years later, it will be difficult for WeChat and Instagram to earn US$5 billion in annual revenue. It is difficult to calculate the sales revenue of the Shopee platform, but its annual revenue should reach US$200 billion. Let’s count Shopify at US$100 billion. At that time, Guangyun’s annual revenue will be Is $50 billion difficult?

As for Time’s domestic revenue, it’s hard to calculate. International business may earn up to 400 billion U.S. dollars. So Time’s domestic revenue of 1 trillion should be possible, right?Goudong has done it!
