Reborn in 2011, 985 missing from two copies

Chapter 683 Alipay is completely defeated, Xingyi Bank is online!
For a moment, Jack Ma was in a state of confusion.

The thirty hospitals that signed the collective contract the day after tomorrow have failed. I’m afraid that all other potential customers will also fail!

It was accused of plagiarizing Xingyi Smart Healthcare, was sued by Xingyi Technology, and was boycotted and condemned by the public!

Now Alibaba’s smart healthcare has become a rat crossing the street, and everyone is shouting and beating it!
Which other hospitals are willing to cooperate with Alibaba Smart Healthcare?
Not to mention 50% cheaper, even if it’s 80% cheaper, it’s all in vain.

Organizations like hospitals, especially public hospitals, are very concerned about their image, especially the senior management.

If you want to move up, you must protect your reputation and stay away from these messy things!
A gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall.

Today, Alibaba’s smart healthcare has become that dangerous wall!
"This is a big problem. Ali Smart Healthcare might really be doomed. It has been completely destroyed by Xingyi Technology!"

Jack Ma took a deep breath, his eyes dimmed, and he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

"I didn't expect Xingyi Technology to play by the rules. They could have hired cyber-trolls to engage in verbal battles with us, or given us room for negotiation, but they simply flipped the table and filed a lawsuit, making it known to everyone. They left us no room at all and wanted to kill Ali Smart Healthcare and bring tragedy to us!"

Mo Yi was also very melancholy: "Who can we blame? We went too far before. We copied their platform, snatched their customers, and maliciously slandered them. Now they are trying to torture us to death, which is normal."

"Hey, hey!"

Jack Ma sighed twice in succession, but didn't know what to say.

At this point, Jack Ma had to admit that Alibaba had made a strategic mistake, a complete mistake, and was too reckless!
I wanted to use the internet trolls to guide public opinion and destroy Xingyi Smart Healthcare in one fell swoop.

In fact, this approach is very common, and there are even many successful cases.

For example, Brand A never conducts research and development, but only buys mature components from foreign giants and assembles them. Without much research and development cost, the total cost is naturally low, but it is easy to be strangled.

Another brand, Brand B, focuses on independent research and development, trying its best to break the technological blockade. Its annual research and development expenses are an astronomical figure. With high research and development costs, the total cost is naturally high, and the selling price cannot be too low.

As a result, Brand A, which does not conduct R&D, uses low prices to grab the market share of Brand B, which has R&D experience. It also hires Internet trolls to guide public opinion, criticizing Brand B for its high prices and low specifications, and harvesting users...

As a result, Brand A was successful, with good sales and good reputation!
There are many similar examples.

So when it came to Alibaba, Alibaba also wanted to do the same.

They also want to take advantage of the price advantage of no R&D costs, and then hire internet trolls to guide public opinion and label Xingyi Smart Healthcare as a high-priced profit!

Unexpectedly, Brand A succeeded while Alibaba Smart Healthcare failed!
How could this be?
Could it be that what we did was really too radical?

Jack Ma began to think deeply.

It's not just this incident that is radical, many decisions made in recent times are somewhat radical!
The authorities are fascinated.

The more passive you are, the easier it is to become radical.

Since the disastrous defeat on June 618, Alibaba has suffered heavy losses. Not only has its reputation declined, but its listing has had to be postponed again. People throughout Alibaba are in a panic.

Shareholders and capital have continued to put pressure on Jack Ma, putting him under tremendous pressure.

Under this situation, Jack Ma was extremely anxious and desperate to find a breakthrough, to make Ali's smart healthcare successful and to have Ali successfully listed. He even acted somewhat radically and took some risky moves.

But the opposite happened. The more I wanted to achieve results, the worse the results became.

If Xingyi Technology is like Brand B and does not fight back much but uses the Internet military to guide public opinion, then it doesn’t matter. The two sides will just engage in a war of words.

The public will also be divided into two groups, one supporting Xingyi Technology and the other supporting Alibaba.

Alibaba did not suffer much loss, but Xingyi Technology suffered heavy losses.

However, Xingyi Technology did not play by the rules, nor did it use the cheap tactics of Brand B’s war of words. Instead, it directly overturned the table and sued...

Now Ali is in a passive position.

This is really a big problem.

But there was still a vice president who refused to give up and consoled him:
"Although Alibaba's smart healthcare is currently in a passive position, we have signed contracts with many platforms, and five of them have already started construction. We have finally established a foothold in the smart healthcare field. As long as we survive this storm, there are still opportunities and money to be made."

"That's right, after the storm comes the rainbow!"

Someone spoke again.

Jack Ma snorted coldly: "Do you really think that the hospitals that have signed contracts will not break the contract? The five hospitals that are under construction will not stop construction?"

"This..." Everyone's faces changed drastically, and some people couldn't help but speak:
"Chairman, no way? It can't be that bad, right?"

"By doing this, isn't it just adding insult to injury? Isn't that too much?"

Just as they finished speaking, the head of Alibaba Smart Healthcare received a call:

"What? The two hospitals that have signed the contract want to cancel the cooperation?"

"Among the hospitals that are currently under construction, two have said they will suspend construction, and three are planning to give up cooperation?"

"Made!"

"say!"

After hanging up the phone, everyone became even more angry:

"It's true. It's so realistic. Too realistic."

"We can't help it. Now that Alibaba Smart Healthcare has a bad reputation, those hospitals are worried about getting into trouble if they continue to cooperate with us."

"If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. It doesn't matter whether the hospital uses Xingyi Smart Healthcare or Ali Smart Healthcare, but the hospital leaders definitely don't want to cause trouble. It concerns the future, especially such a controversial incident."

"Yes, it is only natural that they breached the contract. However, it is okay to breach the contract, but the penalty must be paid, not a penny less!"

"That's right. We must claim liquidated damages. Our Ali Smart Healthcare is in trouble and can only rely on liquidated damages to survive."

Vice President Mo Yi waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Don't ask for the penalty."

"Why?" Everyone was puzzled.

Jack Ma agrees: "Once we claim for liquidated damages, those hospitals will definitely not want to pay. So how can they justifiably not pay? The only way is to sue us for breach of contract."

"That's right. They will say that we copied Xingyi Medical Platform and there are infringement issues. They will stop cooperating with us because we breached the contract first. We will be the passive ones at that time, especially if it goes to court, which will be even more tragic."

Mo Yi said: "So, forget about the penalty, but we can still strive for cooperation as much as possible."

Jack Ma nodded and said, "Send a team to contact these customers again. If we can continue the cooperation, then we will continue the cooperation. If the other party is determined to cancel, then forget it, and don't ask for the liquidated damages. If they all cancel, then Ali Smart Healthcare will be finished. Oh!"

A sigh, full of melancholy.

Other companies were able to do this before, but it turned out to be a tragedy when it came to Alibaba. We can only blame Xingyi Technology for not playing by the rules.

In the following days, Alibaba's smart healthcare team acted quickly and contacted customers who had already signed contracts, hoping to maintain cooperation.

Unfortunately, Alibaba Smart Healthcare was boycotted by the public and sued by Xingyi Technology. At this critical juncture, no hospital was willing to continue cooperating.

They all planned to cancel the contract with Alibaba and choose Xingyi Smart Healthcare. Although it is 50% more expensive, at least it is safe to use and can also gain a good reputation for maintaining independent research and development!
There are no secrets in the circle.

In the past, people in the Internet circle copied and pasted things from one person to another, and there were generally no consequences.

But this time it’s different, Xingyi Technology is directly accused of “destroying independent research and development”!

He bluntly said, "If everyone copies and then maliciously beats independent research and development with low prices, who will spend money and time on research and development in the future?"

In this way, the matter has reached a higher level!
Even the villagers have to pay attention!
Independent research and development and patent protection are the major directions that the village firmly upholds.

Once it is linked to these major directions, the Ali incident can no longer be made small or minor, and it must be dealt with severely.

Even a special team is being prepared to deal with this incident.

Although this matter has not been confirmed, there is talk of it within the circle.

Those hospitals were even more afraid to stick with Alibaba. Despite repeated communications from the Alibaba Smart Healthcare team, they refused to accept it.

Those who had previously received earnest money from Ali Smart Healthcare have voluntarily returned the money and only ask that we not disturb them.

This made Alibaba very helpless.

Each team can only return to the headquarters to report:

"Chairman, I'm sorry, we failed."

Jack Ma waved his hand and said, "I don't blame you. You tried your best. It was Xingyi Technology that left no room for maneuver, and it was us who acted too radically."

"Alas! Since the last customer maintenance has failed, then Alibaba Smart Healthcare is completely finished and has no meaning to exist anymore."

With a sigh, Alibaba's smart healthcare project was declared a complete failure, and several months of project investment were wiped out.

But both the Alibaba smart healthcare team and Jack Ma have to face this reality.

Some senior executives still don’t want to give up, such as Ke Xiangfei, manager of Alibaba’s smart healthcare marketing department:

"Chairman, if we admit defeat at this time, it would be equivalent to us completely admitting that we plagiarized Xingyi Technology, which is equivalent to completely admitting defeat. Then everything is over, and all the previous expenses will be in vain."

"Then what do you want to do? Is there still a chance to turn the situation around?" Jack Ma asked in a deep voice.

He didn't want to admit defeat unless it was absolutely necessary, but there was no other way.

"Chairman, there is only one last resort, which is to freeze Ali Smart Healthcare, and then develop it from scratch to make it a truly independently developed Ali Smart Healthcare. In this way, even if Xingyi Technology wants to sue us, it will be useless, because by then it will be our independently developed solution!"

"This..." Jack Ma was stunned. Could it be done like this?
Ke Xiangfei continued: "Although this approach requires us to overturn the current plan of plagiarizing Xingyi Smart Healthcare and develop our own solution from scratch, which requires a lot of investment, it can change the fact that we plagiarized and give Ali Smart Healthcare a future!"

"Future? Does Alibaba's smart healthcare have a future?" Mo Yi smiled: "Even if we invest heavily and conduct comprehensive self-development, it will take at least a year, right?"

“Even if Alibaba succeeds in developing smart healthcare a year later, and most hospitals use Xingyi’s smart healthcare solutions, who can we still cooperate with? Will we still have customers?”

"Without customers, how can we make our money back? What's the point of our R&D?"

"This..." Everyone was silent.

Yes, time waits for no one.

Xingyi Smart Healthcare was put into use in the Provincial Hospital three months ago, and currently has hundreds of customers.

Among them, dozens of them are already in trial operation, and hundreds of others are under intensive construction.

Alibaba has only just started independent research and development of smart healthcare, but it is really too late.

It will take a year for Alibaba to successfully develop and test smart healthcare independently.

At that time, hundreds of hospitals had already used the Xingyi smart healthcare platform, and the contracts signed were all for five or ten years. Who would still use Alibaba smart healthcare?

Ke Xiangfei still did not give up: "Chairman, we definitely have no chance in big hospitals, but we can change direction and give up big hospitals and choose small hospitals. Xingyi Smart Platform has full functions and high fees, which small hospitals cannot afford. However, we can do the opposite with Alibaba Smart Healthcare, focusing on core functions, reducing costs, and charging low fees, so that small hospitals can also afford it!"

"Castration function, low fees, focusing on small hospitals!" Jack Ma's eyes lit up:
"This path sounds good, very good. It is a completely different path from Xingyi Smart Healthcare. They focus on tertiary hospitals and secondary hospitals, while we focus on primary hospitals and community hospitals! With different directions and target customers, there is no possibility that Alibaba copied Xingyi Technology!"

"That's right, Chairman. The most important thing is that primary hospitals and community hospitals have the most patients and the market is bigger. As long as we take over these hospitals, these patients will all use the Alibaba Smart Platform and Alipay, and the scale of our Alipay users will also increase significantly!"

"Yes, the fundamental reason for doing smart medical care is to increase the user scale of Alipay!" Jack Ma nodded repeatedly.

Ke Xiangfei continued: "More importantly, if we only run a small hospital, we don't need too many functions, so the research and development costs required will be very low."

Jack Ma knocked on the table and fell into deep thought:
Xingyi Smart Healthcare focuses on large hospitals, while Alibaba Smart Healthcare focuses on small hospitals. The misaligned competition effectively refutes the allegations that Xingyi Technology plagiarized.

There are more small hospitals and many patients, which can increase the scale of Alipay users!
The key R&D cost is low and the investment is small!
This can be fixed!
"Okay, let's do as you said and develop an Alibaba smart medical platform specifically for small hospitals! You will be the person in charge!" Jack Ma made the final decision!
"Thank you for the trust, Chairman. I will live up to your expectations!" Ke Xiangfei said quickly.

I was even sweating coldly in my heart.

The entire Alibaba smart healthcare project almost failed, the team was completely disbanded, and I almost lost my job!

Now, the project has been revived, the team has been saved, I am able to do it again, and I have become the general manager!

As expected, my destiny is in my own hands!

I, Ke Xiangfei, am fine again!
For a moment, Ke Xiangfei was full of energy and felt that he had a bright future.

He took office the next day, formed a team, and began to independently develop Alibaba smart healthcare suitable for small hospitals.

But what he didn't know was that just three days ago, Wang Yi received a report:
【About streamlining some functions of the Xingyi Smart Medical Platform and creating a Xingyi Smart Medical Micro-Platform suitable for small and medium-sized hospitals. 】

This plan is very detailed and systematic. Its goal is to streamline functions that are not needed by small hospitals, thereby greatly reducing costs and making it affordable for small hospitals and community hospitals.

At the same time, due to the streamlined functions, the operation has become simpler, and even middle-aged and elderly people who can use smartphones can easily learn it.

The cost will be even lower, just do the subtraction on the Xingyi Smart Medical Platform.

Wang Yi naturally would not refute this and immediately issued an instruction with four words: advance quickly!
So the Xingyi Smart Medical Team started a new project and split it into two.

The R&D personnel were responsible for streamlining functions and creating a micro-platform specifically for small and medium-sized hospitals, which was completed in just half a month.

The marketing department even began to directly contact small and medium-sized hospitals to expand the market.

On the Alibaba smart healthcare side, the framework had not yet been developed when this bad news was received.

That night, the Alibaba smart healthcare team was in a state of panic, and Ke Xiangfei was so worried that he couldn't sleep.

It will take them at least half a year to successfully develop the product, but Xingyi Smart Healthcare has already begun contacting small hospitals to discuss cooperation!
How does this compare?
It will take almost a year for them to develop and test it. By then, all small hospitals will be equipped with the Xingyi Smart Medical Micro Platform!
More importantly, when things have developed to this point, will the company still support them?

As expected, the next day, Alibaba’s smart healthcare project was completely halted.

No sense anymore.

Xingyi Technology’s smart medical micro-platform has begun to be promoted in small and medium-sized hospitals, and everything is meaningless.

Ke Xiangfei had only been the head of Alibaba Smart Healthcare for half a month, and he was already facing N+1.

Business war is so cruel.

But for Xingyi Technology, the situation is completely the opposite.

With the huge success of Xingyi Smart Healthcare, hundreds of large hospitals have adopted it and it has long become a benchmark for major hospitals.

The charges were expensive before, and small and medium-sized hospitals could not afford it.

Now, there is the Xingyi smart medical micro-platform specially designed for small and medium-sized hospitals. It has fewer functions, but the core functions are still there. The key is that the fees are also much lower, which is very suitable for small and medium-sized hospitals!
Not surprisingly, small and medium-sized hospitals have signed cooperation agreements with Xingyi Technology, giving rise to the Xingyi smart medical micro-platform.

There is no way, small and medium-sized hospitals also want to make progress!
And it can save a lot of money.

For example, after the test results were completed, the department had to arrange someone to print them out, and then wait for patients to come and pick them up, and find them for them one by one, which was very troublesome.

Now, when the results are out, you will be notified by mobile phone. Under the smart medical system, you can print by swiping your ID card or scanning the QR code at the self-service printer in the hall.

Or you don’t have to print it out. The doctor can just view the electronic results on the computer and make a diagnosis.

With the introduction of electronic medical records, patients no longer have to buy medical records or doctors have to fill out medical records every time.

Previously, patients couldn’t find their medical records, so doctors had to ask them one by one, which was very troublesome, and the patients themselves couldn’t remember clearly.

Now all electronic medical records can be easily retrieved and viewed at a glance.

It is for this reason that Xingyi Smart Healthcare is very popular among major hospitals, and the number of users of Changchat Payment has also increased rapidly!
Even if the elderly cannot operate it, the children at home can.

At this point, Xingyi Technology has won a great victory in the battle of smart medical care.

What Alibaba is facing is not only a disastrous defeat in smart healthcare, but also a disastrous defeat in the payment war!
Having lost hundreds of millions of users of smart healthcare, Alipay has lost its last chance to rise!
It even lost the first license for Internet banking!
