Ten years ago, Internet companies such as Tencent, Netease and Shanda made money by lying down and playing games, but these companies were also accused. Many parents accuse game companies of making their children addicted to games and unwilling to learn. In 2008, the arrogant Ma Yun also publicly accused, saying that "Alibaba will never play games".
However, how can a businessman take his words seriously? In a few years, it may be that the money earned from watching the game is too jealous, or it may be that the listed company is under great profit pressure. Ali founded Ali Games, and now a number of games have been released. The strategic version of the Three Kingdoms is also Ali's.
Later, in CCTV's "Dialogue" program, Ma Yun also responded to why he broke his word and played games. I won't take screenshots for the detailed reasons. If the businessman says something, just smile.
2. Yahoo Lifetime Email
Yahoo started its business in China a long time ago. Later, Alibaba acquired Yahoo China and launched a new Yahoo mailbox with CN domain name. Because mailboxes were popular at that time, in order to avoid waste, free mailboxes generally stipulated that users would be closed and emptied if they didn't log in for three consecutive months. Alibaba's new Yahoo Mail claimed to be registered once, available for life, and unlimited in capacity. It also held a grand press conference with the theme of "My Lifetime Mail", promising that all mails will be kept forever. Yahoo China played an emotional card when promoting this service, saying that email is not only a product, but also a life partner.
However, how can a businessman take his words seriously? The mailbox was launched in 2007, only five years later. Due to the contradiction with Yahoo USA, on April 13, Yahoo China, a subsidiary of Alibaba, announced that this "lifetime mailbox" had passed its life and would be closed, so users could choose to move to Alibaba Cloud mailbox. If there is no migration, the data will be emptied.
3. "Cool disk, high-speed personal disk that will never be lost"
Recently, Alibaba is testing Alibaba Cloud disk. This cloud disk is described by many media as the killer of Baidu's network disk, but I advise into the pit to be cautious, because Alibaba had a network disk called "Cool Disk" a long time ago, and the slogan at that time was "Never lose a high-speed personal disk".
However, how can a businessman take his words seriously? Now, this high-speed personal disk that claims to never be lost is lost. I didn't survive the online disk war a few years ago. It is really because as long as Ali himself is not embarrassed, it is the user who is embarrassed.
Dear friends, do you still believe what Alibaba said?
