Ali is a leading enterprise in the field of Internet technology in the mainland, starting as an e-commerce company, changing people's consumption patterns, bringing convenience to hundreds of millions of Chinese people, and promoting the development of the logistics e-commerce industry, but in recent years it has done more and more, and it has been deeply caught in the vortex of anti-monopoly. People can't help but wonder: what is Ali's "true face"? Recently, the answer has surfaced.
In February, the news that Ali Wang Jian was elected a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference exploded the Internet circle. You know, Ali has been beaten many times in the past few years, and now Baidu Li Yanhong and Tencent Ma Huateng have lost the election, while Ali's Wang Jian was unexpectedly elected, which is undoubtedly a major signal: Ali has once again been recognized by the state. Ali is a legitimate Chinese company, and its identity has been exposed!
The reason why it can be recognized by the state is mainly because Ali has now become the vanguard of breaking through the US technology blockade! In the past few years, Alibaba has invested tens of billions of R&D funds in scientific research every year, and finally achieved two key breakthroughs:
The first is cloud computing.
In fact, Ali's research on cloud computing began in 2009. At that time, Dr. Wang Jian decided to take a road of independent innovation in science and technology in that environment full of "compradors" and "take-ism", and this is also Jack Ma's idea, the two hit it off, Ali took out 1 billion R&D funds, 400 technical elites, under the leadership of Dr. Wang Jian, established Aliyun, Ma Yun promised to invest 1 billion yuan every year, full of ambition and pride! But scientific and technological research and development is not achieved overnight, Aliyun's loss is more than 10 years, so that Ali lost more than 10 billion, Wang Jian also suffered sneering and was scolded as a "liar".
Fortunately, they were not discouraged, gritted their teeth and persevered, and finally made the "Feitian" cloud operating system independently developed by China, achieving the success of Alibaba Cloud. Now Alibaba Cloud is already the number one cloud computing platform in Asia, and even better than Google, Amazon, Microsoft and other American companies in some aspects! Ali Wang Jian is also known as the "father of cloud computing in China", becoming the first private entrepreneur in history to be elected as an academician of the two academies of the People's Republic of China.
The second is the chip.
In 2019, Huawei was bullied. Our domestic high-end semiconductor chips cannot be produced, and the EUV lithography machine equipment purchased by SMIC cannot be in place, which greatly affects the development of our technology industry. Huawei's mobile phone sales fell from No. 1 in the world to the world's top 10. Faced with this situation, People's Daily said: core technology cannot be bought, exchanged, or requested! There are no shortcuts on the road to rise, you must give up illusions! Academician Ni Guangnan pointed out a clear way for science and technology enterprises: RISC-V architecture chips are an excellent opportunity for the national chip industry to seize the initiative!
Ali listened and set up Pingtou Semiconductor Company to develop chips. In 2019, Alibaba made the first RISC-V architecture chip Xuantie 910, which can be used in the fields of 5G, artificial intelligence, and autonomous driving. The following year, it made the Hanguang 800AI chip, and the AI performance was the world's leader! Up to now, Ali's flathead brother has made 8 RISC-V architecture chips. The RISC-V architecture has one of the most important features: open source, so the old beauty can not jam the neck! The bigger good news is that half of the world's 10 billion RISC-V chips come from China and 3 billion from Alibaba. Academician Ni Guangnan was very happy to learn the good news: "It is no exaggeration to say that RISC-V is the most popular architecture in China's CPU field, and the chip industry and the entire ecosystem will increasingly focus on RISC-V architecture." ”
If you are poor, you will be good for yourself, and if you are good, you will benefit the world. Ali not only researched chips by itself, but also "generously donated" to make a swordless 600 high-performance RISC-V chip design platform for domestic technology companies. At present, domestic operating system manufacturers such as Qilin, UnionTech, Dragon Lizard, Hongmeng, and Kukai are fully supporting RISC-V.
People's Daily is right, core technology cannot be bought, and there is no shortcut to the road to rise! If you want to use core technologies, you must put in real investment, hard work, down-to-earth and perseverance, Huawei and Alibaba are the best proof! The rise of science and technology is the responsibility of the husband. Technology companies should increase investment in research and development, only in this way can we become a scientific and technological power in the future! Do you agree?
