Stronger by Paying Salaries and I Have 1 Billion Employees

Ever since Ali Baba’s inception, it has never stopped buying traffic. Ma Liyun is a super Key Account for products from Qian Du, NetEase, Sohu, Sina, and Toutiao, which is also why Ali is preparing to invest in Weibo.

”Expand the test group to 20% of users.” After a long moment of contemplation, Ma Liyun gave the order to Tang Yongbo.

Ali urgently needed to bolster its user retention, and the food delivery industry, with its characteristic high-frequency use, had now entered Ma Liyun’s sights.

”Yes, Mr. Ma.” Tang Yongbo nodded.

Everyone in the room knew that Ali’s foray into the food delivery industry would put them on a direct collision course with Kuai Pao.

But Ma Liyun and his team had no choice. With only 600 million internet users in Hua Country, Taobao, which was already over a decade old, had long since hit its traffic ceiling.

The difficulty of acquiring new users was increasing exponentially.

This was, in fact, the same problem that plagued Huang Zheng.

Pinbei had products like Toutiao, Lingxi Browser, and Lingxi Search to channel traffic its way, but Ali had no such diverse portfolio of traffic sources.

Therefore, Ma Liyun was simultaneously copying Pinbei’s business model while also setting his sights on Weibo.
