Reborn in 2011, 985 missing from two copies

Chapter 670: Ali’s outrageous move, Wang Yi is angry!
"Our Alibaba smart medical platform is a copy of the Xingyi smart medical platform. How much R&D cost can it have? It doesn't matter if the profit is low."

"This... If you say that, then I have nothing to say."

For a moment, everyone was silent.

If Alibaba independently develops a smart medical platform, the cost will be very high and it will take half a year or even a year.

Starting from scratch, the comprehensive R&D costs will start at hundreds of millions.

Other operating costs, server costs, equipment costs, etc., not to mention, if the profit is too low, the investment cannot be recovered.

But if you just copy the Xingyi Smart Medical Platform and just change its skin, you can finish it in two months, and the cost will be very little.

It’s okay if the profit is a little lower.

Jack Ma frowned and said, "What I am worried about is that if we continue to lower the price, Xingyi Smart Healthcare will also continue to lower the price."

"This..." Everyone was silent.

This is the most unsolvable problem.

"With Wang Yi's style, he can definitely do it. Even if he doesn't make money, he will kill us!"

Vice President Mo Yi also said: "More importantly, the current situation is not a price competition. On the contrary, Alibaba's smart medical platform is not mature enough, not powerful enough, and Alipay users are not as many as Changliao. It must be 20% or even 30% cheaper than Xingyi Smart Medical to be competitive and have a market! This is the big problem."

"If there is a real price war, Xingyi Semiconductor can still make a profit even if the price is reduced to 50%. Our Alibaba Smart Healthcare Platform needs to reduce the price to 70% to gain market share."

"Even if the R&D cost of Xingyi Smart Healthcare, which we copied, is low, it still has R&D costs, shell replacement costs, and operating costs. We have no profit at all at a 70% discount."

Jack Ma sighed, "President Mo's analysis is thorough. We can't fight a price war. It will only hurt both sides! We don't have many profitable businesses at Alibaba anymore. We have to save as many as we can. So let's just say that our Alibaba smart medical platform will also be 30% off for five years and 40% off for ten years!"

Jack Ma has made the final decision, so logically no one will continue to object.

But this time, an accident happened again.

Just when Jack Ma and Vice President Mo were both against further price cuts, another vice president, Cui Chengjun, spoke up:

"Chairman, Vice President Mo, I don't support your views!"

Hearing this, Jack Ma frowned, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

Generally speaking, no one will object in this situation.

But Cui Chengjun still stood up and continued to refute.

Then, someone else spoke up: "Chairman, Vice President Mo, I don't support compromise either."

"Me too!"

"Chairman, we can no longer bow to Xingyi Technology!"

Seeing several people speaking up and all opposing, Jack Ma felt a little angry and even smelled something abnormal.

Damn, this guy Lao Cui is deliberately going against me, right?
That's for sure!
In Alibaba, Jack Ma is the chairman, and Mo Yi and Cui Chengjun are vice presidents, but that does not mean they are all Jack Ma's people.

The simplest reason is that Mo Yi was promoted by Jack Ma and he fully supports Jack Ma.

But Cui Chengjun is not!

Choi Sung-kyun is from SoftBank, the largest shareholder!
At present, Alibaba’s largest shareholder is SoftBank Group, which holds a 34.4% stake.

The second largest shareholder is Yahoo, holding 22.6% of the shares!

The third largest shareholder is Jack Ma, holding 8.9%!

The fourth largest shareholder is co-founder Lao Cai, who holds a 3.6% stake!

Although Jack Ma and Cai are only the third and fourth largest shareholders, they control the company's decision-making power through the VIE structure.

Similarly, although Jack Ma and Cai control the decision-making power, Softbank and Yahoo are the first and second largest shareholders after all. Even if they do not have the highest decision-making power, they still have a lot of say and will be given several board seats and vice presidents!

This is all inevitable!

Especially now that Alibaba has not yet gone public, it still needs to rely on SoftBank and Yahoo.

Choi Sung-kyun is the core executive arranged by SoftBank.

He is also one of the few who dares to directly refute Jack Ma's existence.

It can be said that in Alibaba, Mo Yi is afraid of Jack Ma, but Cui Chengjun is really not afraid of Jack Ma.

As long as Jack Ma doesn't want to fall out with SoftBank, the largest shareholder, he has to give Choi Sung-kyun some face!
Beating a dog depends on the owner.

Alibaba had been developing well before, and Choi Sung-kyun was relatively stable and rarely caused any trouble.

But today, this guy acted out of character and actually jumped out to refute him in public. He even won over a few senior executives to publicly refute him!

What do you mean?
Is SoftBank going to take action?

This is because Alibaba has been badly beaten by Xingyi Technology recently, and has been defeated time and time again, even losing the 618 promotion. Is the major shareholder angry?

So he arranged for Choi Sung-kyun to jump out and criticize himself?

Or is he extremely dissatisfied with himself and preparing to seize power and replace people?
Jack Ma thought a lot in an instant.

Although there is a partnership system and Lao Cai and I currently hold the decision-making power, it would still be very serious if the first and second largest shareholders really want to cause trouble!

Jack Ma suppressed his anger and said coldly, "Vice President Cui supports continuing to lower prices, even if it means engaging in a price war with Xingyi Smart Healthcare?"

"Yes." Cui Chengjun said without any hesitation.

"What's the reason?"

"Simple, the key to smart medical business is not whether it makes money or not. The key to opening up the pattern is the mobile payment behind it!"

Cui Chengjun said: "You are worried that if we lower the price, Xingyi Technology will continue to lower the price, and we will not make any money in the end, so we cannot lower the price!"

"We won't lower the price. With the same 40% or 70% discount and the same price, our Alibaba Smart Healthcare will have no advantage. Those hospitals will choose to cooperate with Xingyi Technology and give up Alibaba, and then we will definitely lose."

"Customers are all going to Xingyi Technology, so we can't make any money either."

“This…” Jack Ma couldn’t refute.

Cui Chengjun continued: "On the contrary, as long as we continue to lower prices, even if we engage in price wars and don't make money, it doesn't matter. As long as we can win customers and get more hospitals to abandon Xingyi Smart Healthcare and choose Alibaba Smart Healthcare, that's enough."

"Even if smart healthcare doesn't make money, it's okay. All hospitals using Alibaba Smart Healthcare will use Alipay! We can add a lot of users to Alipay!"

"This is the most important."

"To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter whether Smart Healthcare makes money or not. We are just copying Xingyi Smart Healthcare anyway. We don't have much cost, so we won't lose much."

"As long as we can push forward Ali's smart healthcare and increase the number of Alipay users, that will be enough, and we can continue to compete with Changchat Payment."

"If the price does not continue to drop, the Ali Smart Healthcare Platform will be doomed and will not be a competitor to Xingyi Smart Healthcare. Similarly, the number of Alipay users will not increase as they have all been taken away by Changchat Payment."

"If this continues, Alipay, which is already at a disadvantage, will only be in a more miserable situation, and may even be completely destroyed!"

"This……"

Everyone's face changed drastically, but they were unable to refute.

Even Jack Ma couldn't refute it.

Makes sense!
Makes sense!
Regardless of the gains and losses of smart healthcare, the key is to seize the payment entrance and mobile payment users!
The payment war behind it is the most important thing.

Jack Ma nodded and said, "Vice President Cui is right. The payment war is the key. Then we will continue to lower prices and continue to grab customers."

"Yes!" everyone responded.

Mo Yi also nodded: "Then let's grab it. Payment is indeed the key. Alipay cannot lose. But this time we can't do it openly. We have to push it secretly and sign a confidentiality agreement. It's best not to let Xingyi Technology know."

Jack Ma agreed: "Yes, once they know, they will still make trouble. Let's secretly reduce the price, 40% off for five years, 50% off for ten years! It's even 10% lower than Xingyi Technology!"

"No, 50% off for five years, 40% off for ten years, 20% lower than Xingyi Technology. It's not for making money, it's just for grabbing the payment portal and users!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded, made arrangements quickly, and started to take action.

Xingyi Smart Healthcare cut its prices, and Ali Smart Healthcare followed suit, still maintaining a 20% lower price!

I have to say that this trick is simple but effective.

Taking the past ten years as an example, Xingyi Technology has a 40% discount and Alibaba has a 40% discount!
In fact, the difference is not 50% off, but %!

That’s right, Alibaba’s price is 50% cheaper than Xingyi Technology!

Such a price is very competitive and many hospitals are attracted by it.

Especially for some secondary hospitals, which already have limited budgets, Alibaba’s price is 50% cheaper, which makes it even more advantageous.

All of a sudden, hospitals that had originally planned to cooperate with Xingyi Smart Healthcare began to change their attitudes again and gave up cooperation for various reasons.

At first, there were only one or two companies, and Xingyi Smart Medical didn’t think there was anything wrong.

Before signing the contract, it is just an intention of cooperation and it is unclear whether it will succeed or not.

But in the following week, more than fifteen hospitals cancelled their appointments, which was very abnormal.

For this reason, Xingyi Smart Medical went to the hospital to communicate again and find out what was going on.

But Alibaba signed a confidentiality agreement and nothing was found out.

Xingyi Smart Healthcare has no choice but to report all these matters.

Jian Ziyan was stunned as she watched the situation suddenly change:

"That's not right. After we lowered the price, didn't dozens of hospitals rush to cooperate with us? Why did they all break their promises and give up on cooperation?" "Something's wrong, it's definitely not right!"

Jian Ziyan's expression changed drastically, and she quickly went to Wang Yi to explain the situation.

Wang Yi frowned. "I guess it's Ali who made a move. This damn bastard must have lowered the price again. We're offering a 30% discount for five years and a 40% discount for ten years. Ali has been able to snatch so many customers, so it must be offering a 50% discount for five years and a 40% discount for ten years!"

"Oh my God, with such a low price, can they still make a profit? How many years will it take to make a profit?" Jian Ziyan couldn't help but say.

"How come there is no profit?" Wang Yi smiled: "We spent hundreds of millions to develop the Xingyi smart medical platform, but Alibaba directly copied ours, saving hundreds of millions in research and development costs. How can they not make a profit?"

"This……"

Jian Ziyan was speechless for a moment, and then she became very angry: "Ali is so shameless. The biggest cost of this kind of platform is the initial R&D expenses, which need to be spread out and gradually recovered. Ali just copied it directly, and the R&D cost is very little. The cost is low, but they just started a price war. How shameless!"

"How shameless! They copied our platform, snatched our customers, started a price war, and smashed our pot!"

Wang Yi was so angry that he laughed: "That's great."

"Chairman, this will be very troublesome if it continues. We must not let Alibaba suffer. After all, smart healthcare is related to payment. If Alibaba's smart healthcare is really successful, we will all be in trouble, and Changchat payment will be affected. The only problem is how to deal with it."

Wang Yi didn't care: "That's easy, you do this... this... then..."

"Okay, Chairman, I'll do it right away."

Jian Ziyan acted quickly and, according to Wang Yi's instructions, set up a special team to collect evidence from all over the country.

Although Alibaba and the hospital signed a confidentiality agreement regarding the price reduction this time, confidentiality is ensured.

But there is no wall that is impenetrable.

As long as the money is in place, someone will leak Alibaba's confidentiality agreement.

Soon, Xingyi Technology collected some evidence.

Jian Ziyan approached Wang Yi and said, "Chairman, it's exactly as you guessed. It's 50% off for five years and 40% off for ten years. It's a complete loss. In other words, Alibaba's smart medical platform was copied from us. There is no R&D cost, otherwise it would definitely lose money. But how should we respond to this?"

Wang Yi smiled faintly: "Since Ali doesn't care about his face, let's beat him to pieces!"

"Chairman, do you mean to sue Alibaba directly?" Jian Ziyan's eyes lit up: "Directly sue Alibaba for unfair competition, plagiarizing our research and development results, and infringing our patents!"

Wang Yi nodded, "That's right, let's do it. But we won't sue them now. The Ali Smart Healthcare Platform hasn't been launched yet, so we can't sue them. Let the legal department prepare and collect evidence. Once the Ali Smart Healthcare Platform is launched, we will immediately collect evidence and sue them directly to death!"

"Okay, Chairman, let's hand this over to our legal department." Jian Ziyan said, "But this kind of thing is hard to say. The process is slow, and it's hard to say whether we can win the case. After all, the Internet is full of copying from each other."

Wang Yi was not surprised: "Yes, but sometimes, it is not necessary to win the case. It is enough to discredit the Ali Smart Medical Platform, or even Ali itself. It doesn't matter whether they win or not. By then, how many hospitals will use them if they are accused of plagiarism?"

"Especially public hospitals, their directors and leaders, don't they have any face?"

"I understand. The most important thing is to make this matter bigger and discredit the Alibaba Smart Healthcare Platform!"

Jian Ziyan suddenly realized: "When they start the internal test next month, we will be able to collect evidence."

"Well, I leave it to you."

Wang Yi looked out the window: "Copy our platform, steal our customers, and smash our pot!"

"You really don't care about your shame!"

"Yes, we must discredit the Alibaba Smart Healthcare Platform!" Jian Ziyan was full of energy:

"As long as this matter is discredited, we will win the lawsuit. Public opinion is very important. When the whole society is condemning Alibaba for plagiarism, the final judgment will also take public opinion into consideration and make the most harmonious judgment. Then Alibaba's smart medical platform will lose, it's over."

"This is even better. It would be better to discredit Ali as well!"

Wang Yi said with a smile: "Aren't they preparing to go public? Let's talk about it after they make a mess of the last hammer!"

“Hahaha!” Jian Ziyan was in a good mood. “Alibaba originally planned to go public in the second half of the year, but it failed miserably during the 618 shopping event and had to postpone it until the end of the year. If something goes wrong with smart healthcare again, it will be difficult for Alibaba to go public next year.”

“They deserve it!” Wang Yi said with a smile, “Also, the e-commerce department, get ready to give Alibaba a good beating on Singles’ Day!”

“If we can’t beat Taobao, we’ll have to beat Tmall!”

"Going public?"

"What a hell of a city!"

Alibaba was unaware of this and was still immersed in the increase in customers and orders after the price cut. It was in a good mood and quickly deployed tests for next month.

As for Xingyi Technology, it is collecting evidence in a low profile, waiting to deal a fatal blow to Alibaba.

As for the public's attention, it was attracted by another major event!
On July 7th, "Honkai Impact 20D" will be officially released!
In the following days, platforms such as TikTok, Changliao, and Xingyi Video began to push "Honkai Impact 3D" in large quantities!
Although the previous "Honkai Gakuen" was not as popular as games like "Happy Match 3" and "Protect the Grapefruit", it also achieved very good success and made miHoYo a lot of money.

However, the miHoYo team did not choose to distribute this money in dividends, but instead invested all of it in the research and development of new games.

It was not until July that "Honkai Impact 3D" was officially launched, which is the older brother of "Genshin Impact" in its previous life, or the father of "Genshin Impact" - "Honkai Impact"!
It was the success of "Honkai Impact 3rd", which earned more than 1 billion yuan, that gave miHoYo enough funds to create the masterpiece "Genshin Impact"!
Without this money, a game like "Genshin Impact" could not have been developed at all.

There is no way. No investor is willing to invest 10 billion in research and development funds for miHoYo for a mobile game.

In its previous life, MiHoYo first experienced early failures, twists and turns, almost bankruptcy, and Mr. Lu’s investment... Only then did it survive and make "Honkai Impact 3".

Although "Once Upon a Time" took a detour and did not make large-scale profits, it did not lose money either, and then "Once Upon a Time" was made!
Honkai Impact 3rd was a minor hit, with revenue of several hundred million in the first year, which provided sufficient funds for the hugely successful Honkai Impact 3rd.

"Honkai Impact 3rd" was a huge hit, with revenue exceeding 1 billion in the first year, and we had more sufficient funds to make "Genshin Impact"!
Develop step by step and succeed step by step.

It can be said that miHoYo’s success is the result of hard work + courage + luck.

However, this time, with Wang Yi's help and support, abundant funds, a strong platform, and abundant resources, the entire node was much faster.

Not only did it avoid the detour of "Honkai Impact 1", but it also abandoned "Honkai Impact 1" and went straight to "Honkai Impact 2". With the support of Xingyi Technology's resources, "Honkai Impact 2" achieved a qualitative leap in terms of user numbers, revenue, and internationalization.

Now they have even released "Honkai Impact 3" two years ahead of schedule and named it "Honkai Impact D"!
Now, with the unremitting support of Xingyi Technology, "Honkai Impact 3D" has quickly become popular all over the Internet just three days after its launch.

In just three days, the popularity has reached the level of half a year in the previous life!

All I can say is that Xingyi Technology is very powerful. Even a rubbish game can be made popular, let alone a masterpiece like "Honkai Impact 3"!

It is conceivable that in 3, when all the 2014D games of its competitors were shoddy, miHoYo came up with "Honkai Impact 3", a D mobile game with exquisite modeling and exciting combat, which directly achieved a dimensionality reduction attack on the entire mobile game industry!

Especially domestic mobile games, they are so cruel that even your mother can’t recognize them.

Nowadays, there are really not many domestic mobile games that can be compared with "Honkai Impact 3".

Even "Star Hunter" is just a 2D game, with the initial game size being only 1.5G, and the later game size being only 5G.

The initial size of the 3D game "Honkai Impact 4" was 20G, and a few years later, the size of the game reached G.

There is no other reason. The open world version adds 5G, and there are also activities, DLCs, etc. over the years, which add 1-2G each time.

However, initially there was only 4G, which was quite user-friendly.

If we start with an open world and push Honkai Impact 10rd directly to G, we’re done.

Nowadays, many mobile phones have 16G storage. "Honkai Impact 10" takes G, and the system takes to G, which is full!
This is not realistic.

On the contrary, the initial version is only 4G, which is already very large, but it is still okay and anyone who likes this game can accept it.

Especially fans of miHoYo and Xingyi Technology, most of them downloaded it to try it out.

Within one day of its launch, the number of users exceeded 30, and it topped the Xingyi Game Bestseller List and the IOS Bestseller List.

In three days, the number of users exceeded 60.

In just one week, the number of users exceeded 100 million!
Such a speed is terrifying, not just ordinary terrifying.

You should know that when Honkai Impact 2016rd was launched in , it took a week to break through users, and three or four months to break through million.

The reason why it was so fast this time is largely due to the support of Xingyi Technology.

When Honkai Impact 3rd was first launched in its previous life, miHoYo was not yet a giant and could only promote it on Bilibili and gaming platforms, without any promotional resources on a global scale.

It is precisely because of this that the number of users of the 3D mobile game masterpiece "Honkai Impact 2" actually lost to the D card game "Onmyoji"!
The 3-point ceiling lost to the 2D card, can you believe this?
This time, Changliao and Douyin, which have more than 7 million users, are promoting it vigorously.

Xingyi Video, which has over 4 million users, is promoting it with all its strength!

There are also Xingyi mobile phones, tablets, and TVs with nearly one billion devices for push promotion!
Each of these resources is worth hundreds of millions, and if all of them are used to promote a game, the result can be imagined. "Honkai Impact 3" will instantly become a global hit on the entire Internet.

In addition, the quality of Honkai Impact 2016rd itself is so high that it was able to achieve a dimensionality reduction attack on its competitors in 2014, let alone .

As you can imagine, Honkai Impact 3rd was a huge hit.

The hot searches for several consecutive days were all about "Beng San":
[The rise of domestic mobile games, "Honkai Impact 3D" redefines mobile games and 3D mobile games! ]

[“Honkai Impact 3D” is born and is bound to sweep the world! 】

[It’s incredible that domestic mobile games can achieve this level…]

[“Honkai Impact 3D” mobile game milestone, 3D game milestone, domestic game milestone! ]

【Mobile 3A masterpiece, "Honkai Impact 3D" shocked the world. 】

[Although "Honkai Impact 3D" is not as good as console games, it is the ceiling of mobile games. I would like to call it a mobile 3A masterpiece. ]

[The graphics quality and playability crush the "Call of Duty" mobile game. "Honkai Impact 3D" represents the light of domestic mobile games! 】

……

It received rave reviews, not even a single bad one.

More importantly, these reviews were not promoted by Xingyi Technology, nor bought by miHoYo, but are heartfelt evaluations from users, media, and industry insiders!
What Xingyi Technology did was just the initial promotion to let everyone know about the game "Honkai Impact 3D" and download and experience it.

Subsequent comments and word of mouth are all spontaneous by users.
