Chapter 692: Alibaba and Tencent make big moves, Nvidia is in trouble!

"The most important thing is that personal social software is free, but corporate social software can be charged. We provide services to enterprises and charge a certain fee. There is no problem with that!"

"So, enterprise social software has a bright future!"

"Yes, that's it, haha."

Song Lixin even laughed.

The moment before, he was penniless and had been laid off.

The next second, there is a new light at the end of the tunnel!

President Mo, ah, President Mo, you are really my brother!
No, Daddy!

Song Lixin looked towards President Mo with eyes full of gratitude, so much gratitude.

Twice!
It was this dad who saved me from the brink of layoffs!
In addition, they poached him to Alibaba and made him the social director, which is the third time!

It is conceivable that once the enterprise social software is successful, Song Lixin will definitely go down in history!
This can become a phenomenal social platform used by hundreds of millions of people, just like Changliao and QQ!

The future is bright!
Sure enough, Jack Ma looked at Song Lixin and said, "President Mo is right. The Lai Wang Division can be abolished, but the employees cannot be laid off. They should all stay and be transferred to the Enterprise Social Department to develop Alibaba's enterprise social software."

"Song Lixin, you will be personally responsible for this, and Vice President Mo will take the lead. You must make the enterprise social networking a success!"

"Yes!"

Mo Yi and Song Lixin looked at each other, feeling very proud.

Once corporate social networking is established, the two will definitely go a step further.

It will go down in the history of Alibaba's development and will leave a significant mark in the history of the development of the social industry!
By then, it is possible that Mo Yi, the group's vice president, will become the group's president, and Song Lixin, the director of the communications department, will become the group's vice president!
"As for what our enterprise social software should be called? What do you think? Let's brainstorm!"

Jack Ma said this, but his eyes fell on Mo Yi.

Enterprise social software was proposed by Mo Yi, and he was the only one who had the idea of ​​what it should be called.

Sure enough, Mo Yi slowly opened his mouth and said, "Chairman, how about calling me Dingding? The Ding of nails!"

"Ding Ding... Ding Ding!" Jack Ma smiled happily: "This is a good name, very good!"

"As for what's good about it? You might as well take a guess!"

Hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought, but kept complaining in their hearts.

"Dingding?"

"What the hell?"

"Is he mentally retarded?"

"The chairman said it was good, what's good about it?"

"And you want us to guess? Guess what!"

“I’ve become a senior executive at Alibaba, but I still have to rack my brains to do reading comprehension.”

"I can't help it. The chairman has said it, so I have to tell him something."

"You have to go deeper and higher! As long as you lean towards the lofty and noble direction, you can't go wrong!"

"We have to speak to the chairman's heart."

"By the way, the chairman likes martial arts and the underworld. Alibaba's roster is full of martial arts. Can DingTalk also lean towards this?"

"Yes, that must be the case. Mo Yi, that bastard, gave me this name just to please him and lean towards martial arts."

"But how can Dingding and Wuxia unite?"

"Ding Ding, like a hidden weapon!"

"But how can a large company like Alibaba use hidden weapons? It doesn't fit its image!"

“How do I play this?”

Everyone had different thoughts and thought of many things at once.

But before many people could come up with ideas, someone handed in their papers:
“The word ‘nail’ implies ‘management’ and ‘discipline’, which fits the seriousness of enterprise software management!”

Jack Ma nodded with satisfaction: "That's one point."

Then someone else spoke up:
"Nail, in the martial arts world, is considered a hidden weapon, and requires 'steady, accurate and ruthless'! When it comes to corporate management, it also requires 'steady, accurate and ruthless'!"

"Very good!" Jack Ma smiled even more.

"DingTalk is an enterprise social software, and its core function is communication. The name reminds users that communication should be as precise as hammering a nail, and not just random chats like on QQ or WeChat."

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed, and Jack Ma also said: "The words are rough but the truth is true. Accurate communication is the difference between our DingTalk and other software such as Changchat and WeChat!"

"Everyone has said very good things, President Mo, please give us a final interpretation."

Mo Yi nodded: "Everyone is right. Ding means steady, accurate and ruthless. It means precise communication and rejection of ineffective social interactions. It means management, discipline and seriousness!"

"But in addition to this, it also improves the efficiency of corporate communication and operation."

"At present, the efficiency of business operations is very low. Many people are slacking off, procrastinating, and not working hard."

"The purpose of DingTalk is not only to improve communication efficiency, but also to strengthen management through functions such as location-based clocking in."

"Nail every employee to their work like a nail, and make sure nothing is missed or delayed!"

“Thereby comprehensively improving individual work efficiency and the operating efficiency of the entire enterprise!”

"Wow!" There was thunderous applause and everyone clapped.

Some people applauded from the bottom of their hearts, while others kept complaining in their hearts:
"Cao, that's a good point! This kid is pretending again!"

"With such eloquence, no wonder he can be the vice president and is so popular with Jack Ma. He is such a silver tongue!"

"Damn, if I had this eloquence, would I still be a small supervisor?"

Jack Ma also laughed happily: "President Mo said very well, very well, do you have anything to add?"

Song Lixin spoke up: "President Mo has already perfectly explained the significance and purpose of DingTalk. I will add some details about the software development of DingTalk."

"For social software, notification sounds are very important. For example, the notification sound of QQ is very classic and everyone still remembers it clearly."

“We also want the DingTalk notification tone to be distinctive and classic.”

Jack Ma nodded and agreed very much.

Song Lixin continued, "I suggest that we use 'ding ding', the sound of nailing a nail, as the reminder tone of DingTalk. It fits in with DingTalk and also facilitates our promotion of DingTalk."

Jack Ma smiled and said, "Okay, let's use the sound of hammering nails! It's simple and efficient, and it's good for promotion!"

Song Lixin continued: "In addition, we will also develop a special 'nail message' that can force the other party to check the message through text messages, phone calls, etc.! Efficient communication, urgent execution! Remind users to pin on the target and pin the team tightly!"

Jack Ma applauded again: "Very good, both the notification sound and the Ding Message function are very good. I feel relieved to hand over the DingTalk project to you!"

"Thank you for the support and trust from the chairman. I will definitely do a good job on DingTalk."

"How long will it take?" Jack Ma asked.

"DingTalk is an enterprise-level software. It needs to connect many things and its functions must be as powerful as possible. Otherwise, the strength of Alibaba cannot be demonstrated."

“I estimate that it will take about half a year to develop, and then test, modify, improve, and upgrade, and it will definitely be online within a year!”

"Okay, one year from now, I hope that the entire Alibaba will use DingTalk!"

“No, most companies can use Alibaba’s DingTalk!”

"We at Alibaba have achieved nothing in the social networking field. After ten years of hard work, it is time to show our skills and become a social networking giant!" Jack Ma said with great enthusiasm.

While Alibaba was making big moves, Tencent next door was also not idle.

"Chairman, after two years of development, our Tencent Maps has become very complete. The bottom layer has the latest underlying data from NavInfo, and the upper layer has the Tencent Navigation developed by our Tencent."

“The application experience is excellent. Even though it is not as good as AutoNavi, which is owned by Xingyi Technology, it is worse than Baidu Maps.”

"Very good, but Baidu Navigation is still alive now?" Mr. Ma was a little surprised.

"It's still alive. Now Baidu Maps has lost its underlying map data, and the NavInfo authorization has expired. Baidu has started stealing underlying data from everywhere, stealing data from NavInfo, AutoNavi... and some data they mapped themselves, and then pieced it together."

"Haha, how shameless! How is this different from a thief?"

Mr. Ma was speechless: "But this kind of petty theft will never be successful. Especially with the efforts of our Tencent Maps, the number of Baidu Maps users will only decrease!"

"Yes, Chairman. We have also developed a taxi-hailing business. It is currently undergoing testing and is expected to be officially launched next month."

"Very good!" President Ma smiled. "Once the taxi service is launched, our QQ payment will also be greatly improved!"

Payment track is essential.

Tencent was originally planning to promote WeChat Pay, but WeChat was not strong enough and was outperformed by Changchat. Tencent had no choice but to focus on developing QQ, which has a larger user base, and promote QQ Pay.

"That's fine, but once the taxi-hailing service is launched, it will face full competition with AutoNavi. On the surface, it's a competition between Tencent Taxi and AutoNavi Taxi, but in reality, it's a competition between Tencent and Xingyi Technology."

"So in terms of competitive strategy, should we go all out and engage in a price war, or should we not engage in a price war and compete moderately?"

The subordinates didn't know how to decide on this point, so they simply asked the chairman for instructions.

Mr. Ma sighed, "Once a price war breaks out, AutoNavi will definitely follow suit, and both sides will have to spend a lot of money. If it's just AutoNavi, then it doesn't matter. They are not our opponents and can't outspend us. We can outspend them and take over the taxi market."

"But AutoNavi has Xingyi Technology behind it, which is a company with plenty of money and more power than us."

Mr. Ma had a headache, and other senior executives were silent.

When it comes to spending money, Tencent can’t afford more than Xingyi Technology.

The other party is too rich!
The development speed is too fast!
Not playing by the rules!
There are countless unexpected and winning moves, which are difficult to guard against.

With any combination of punches, Apple and Qualcomm are in trouble, Baidu and Alibaba are in trouble, and Tencent can't stand it either!

"But if we don't start a price war, our Tencent Taxi service will not be able to take off. At least the development speed will not be fast enough!"

"Yes, Chairman, this is exactly what is bothering me."

"Price wars are not good either. Look at the current group buying sector. Thousands of groups are fighting each other and spending so much money, but there is still no champion."

"That's right. The war of thousands of groups has killed thousands of platforms and wiped out many capital giants, which is enough to show that the way of burning money is not feasible."

“How can Tencent Ride-hailing attract new customers without spending money?”

Listening to the quarrel, Mr. Ma knocked on the table:
"Won't it be launched next month? We should prepare both plans. We will decide whether to spend money on a price war based on the situation."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded that this was the best strategy.

In particular, Xingyi Technology’s next moves must be taken seriously.

Wang Yi didn't pay much attention to the actions of Tencent and Alibaba.

The actions of BAT companies can be paid attention to and responded to by the corresponding business units.

Wang Yi doesn't have the energy to do everything himself.

On the contrary, Wang Yi's eyes fell on NVIDIA!

A few days ago, on September 9, NVIDIA released its annual flagship high-end graphics cards GTX 18 and GTX 970!

Adopting the new Maxwell architecture, both performance and power consumption are significantly improved.

However, on the first day of the launch, only some retail stores in Europe and the United States stocked the product in advance.

It was not until after the 22nd that the public version was widely distributed in Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and other regions.

But it has not been officially launched in China yet, and there is no public version.

The GTX 970 public version is priced at 2499 in China and will not be available in China until mid-October.

The retail non-official versions of brands such as ASUS and MSI are priced at 2599-2999, and will be launched later, in December.

The GTX 980 public version is priced at 3999 in China and will be available in China in early October.

The retail non-official versions from ASUS, MSI and other companies are priced at 4199-4599, and will be launched earlier than the retail non-official version of 970, around November.

It can be said that both 970 and 980 are out of stock in the domestic market.

There is no way. The public versions of 970 and 980 will be released on the 18th. The mainland, as the second batch of markets, will be launched in October.

After the non-public version is introduced by manufacturers such as ASUS and MSI, it will take another month or two to make it into graphics cards and sell it, and it will be on the market in November or December.

It’s all this process.

It is for this reason that the Xingyi graphics card was released later but was available on the market earlier.

The most important thing is that Xingyi graphics cards are packaged and sold by themselves, without having to wait for non-public retail manufacturers to take charge.

As for Xingyi International, it also obtained the mass-produced public version of GTX 970 and 980 graphics cards on the first day of launch and conducted a series of lengthy tests.

This testing process is not a short test to evaluate the anchor. The results will be available in half a day, and the testing + editing can be completed in one day.

On the contrary, the entire testing process was very long and very professional.

Not only did we test the performance of a large number of games and applications, but we also collected all the statistical data, made models, conducted a comprehensive analysis, and conducted a comprehensive comparison with the RTX 970, a high-end graphics card developed by Xingyi Technology.

After more than a week of testing, a comprehensive in-depth report finally came out, and Williams and others immediately contacted Wang Yi:
"Chairman, the test results are out, haha. There's a surprise, a big surprise."

It can be seen that Williams is very excited, and Yu Longxing, president of the graphics card business unit, is also full of smiles.

"GTX 970 failed?" Wang Yi said with a smile, having a guess in his mind.

Sure enough, NVIDIA is still NVIDIA, and the GTX 970 is really a failure!

"Chairman, how did you know?" Yu Longxing was full of disbelief.

The GTX 970 public version has only been released for a week, and many media and companies have not yet tested it well, but are still praising it.

Some people even said that the 970 will become the new generation of god card, with powerful performance and unbeatable cost performance.

There is no way. The 980 is good, but with a price of more than yuan, not many people can afford it.

You know, many people only have a total budget of five or six thousand for a desktop computer. How is it possible that a graphics card would cost more than four thousand?
Even if you have a budget of seven or eight thousand, you wouldn’t dare to go straight for the 980 which costs over four thousand!

After all, a high-end desktop CPU cannot be bad, it must be at least the fourth-generation I7, or the Xingyi CPU X7, which costs more than two thousand yuan.

The monitor costs more than a thousand.

After buying some other accessories, the budget left for the graphics card is only 970!

Only those with a budget of more than 980 yuan would dare to go straight for , but this is only a minority.

On the contrary, the 970 at over is the sweet spot, which is what most people can reach with a little effort.

If, as Huang boasted, the 970 has very powerful performance, is only 980% lower than the , and is % cheaper, then it would be a real bargain.

That is an absolute dessert, a god card of the generation!
But unfortunately, GTX 970 failed!
That's completely different.

"Looking at your expressions, you all look as excited as a groom about to enter the bridal chamber. I know that the 970 must have flipped over."

Wang Yi joked, of course he can’t be called a prophet!
"Haha, Chairman, the GTX 970 is really a failure!"

Yu Longxing said with a smile: "According to Lao Huang's description, the GTX 980 has been greatly improved. The GTX 970 can achieve 980% of the performance of the GTX 80, but the price is only 980% of the GTX 60. It can be said that the price-performance ratio is unbeatable, a real dessert card, and even a god card!"

"But according to our comprehensive tests, this peak performance is only an ideal state. On the contrary, it is often very poor, with performance not even reaching 980% of the GTX 80, or even less than 60%."

Hearing this, Wang Yi felt relieved!
The Xingyi graphics card is a sure thing!
The GTX 970 is really a failure.

"What scenarios? What are the problems? Have they all been tested?"

"Chairman, at first he only showed up occasionally, and we didn't take it seriously."

"In subsequent tests, there were several more serious frame drops, so we started targeted testing, increased the test volume and scale, and finally found the problem."

"The most significant symptom is that when the game's video memory exceeds 3.5G, the game frame rate will drop sharply and become stuck!"

"For example, when playing The Division at 4K, the GTX 970, as a sub-flagship gaming graphics card, should have 980% of the performance of the GTX 80, so there should be no pressure to play the 4K version."

"But we found that the game would freeze while we were playing. Especially when the video memory exceeded 3.5G, it would freeze, which was very abnormal."

"Dr. Huang said at the press conference that the GTX 970 has 4GB of video memory, and it's full 256-bit high-speed video memory. The GTX 970's official website and other websites all say the same thing. It's more than enough to play The Division at 4K, and it won't get stuck if it exceeds 3.5G."

"After our comprehensive research, we found that Nvidia's propaganda was false!"

"It's said to be 4G high-speed video memory, but in fact it's 3.5GB high-speed video memory + 0.5GB low-speed video memory!"

"The high-speed memory bandwidth is 196G/s, so running The Division at 4K is no problem. But the low-speed memory bandwidth is only 28GB/s, so it's useless and will get stuck."

"Therefore, when the 4K video memory of The Division exceeds the upper limit of 3.5G high-speed video memory and starts to use 0.5G low-speed video memory, it will lag."

"Of course, it's not just The Division 4K, other games that consume video memory are also like this."

"So, there really is fraud in GTX 970, and if things go wrong, there might even be a memory issue!" Wang Yi said with a smile, and he was very satisfied with the performance of the graphics card team.

No wonder they tested the GTX 970 and GTX 980 for more than a week.

For normal testing, three or four days is enough.

It turns out that the memory door was found, this is incredible!
After the previous GTX 970 was released in September, it was not until January of the following year that users discovered the abnormality of the video memory and exposed it.

But Nvidia directly denied it.
