Xiong Changqing: Good afternoon, friends old and new. I am very happy to be invited by Mr. Liu Chen to share with you about cloud. Mr. Liu Chen just mentioned that I am a veteran in the e-commerce industry. It is true. One is that an old man is learning new tricks. Another is that I consider myself not only a veteran in the Internet e-commerce industry, but also a veteran CXO. I am still the CTO now. I was the CTO in 2000 and I want to share with you the investment perspective and considerations on cloud technology in 2000.
The first feeling I want to share with you today is that I used to hear about how foreign cloud was applied and developed, and gradually became popular. Now I feel that it is gradually in the stage of gathering ivory coast phone number data momentum in China. As you know, Oracle recently spent 40 billion US dollars to acquire Salesforce. In fact, everyone knows that Salesforce is a real cloud service provider. Do you know when it started? Before the first Internet bubble, it started with CRM and made SAAS services. It has been providing services all the way to this year, nearly 20 years, so it has finally become a big thing, more than 40 billion US dollars.
This is why I have been paying attention to the Internet industry as an IT person, and it has been since then. Then in the past 4 or 5 years, foreign infrastructure clouds have been surging. Application clouds have been cut in from Amazon from the e-commerce side, and then from the application to the infrastructure level, which can serve millions of enterprises. This is Amazon's current cloud, the number or scale of enterprises served. In the past, we watched the excitement abroad in China.
We really watched them on the other side of the ocean. We watched them from the other side of the river. We also watched them as if we were in the clouds and fog. But recently, in the past one or two years, whether it is my own work or the entire industry, it is ready to go. There is no need to talk about the clouds in various infrastructures. Mr. Zhao has just outlined the big picture and big players very clearly. There are clouds for OA and HR, not to mention other clouds for basic services, which have also come out, such as monitoring and security services in software. So the cloud in China is also ready to go.
