After all, he is Alibaba's company, they will listen to your comments, I hope you can pay attention to the island as a pro-enterprise Hainan Li Sound, urging the German side as soon as possible to pay the official task order has been issued. Wen Zhengdao never thought that he would write this letter to Ma Yun for help.

Wen Zhengdao is the chairman of Hainan Li Sound Company, the company is a three-dimensional real data provider, but also the map of the strategic partners. May 16, 2014, the gold and Hainan Li signed a contract, Hainan Lai for the acquisition of 31644 Pictures, including 30,000 scenic panoramic picture and 1644 mall panoramic picture, the total amount of gold to pay 4.4059 million yuan, partial payment. But after paying a deposit of 820,000 yuan, Gould did not pay any other money.

Yesterday (March 11), The daily economic news reporter interviewed Chen, the chief commercial director of the incident, but she did not respond positively to the arrears, only said "This is a normal business dispute", do not want to comment on the matter.

Hainan Lee claims to be suing Gould

It is understood that the cooperation between the two countries began on May 16, 2014, Hainan Li Sound and Gould signed the "Data procurement Agreement" contract, the total need to pay 4.4059 million yuan, which is the scenic data for 4.11 million yuan, mall data for 295,900 yuan, a total of three batches to pay.

Wen Zhengdao told the Daily Economic news reporter, the contract is marked 4.4 million yuan, but the gold only 20954 photos, according to the agreed price, the total of 2.8563 million yuan, and this contract includes the last part of the end, in fact, the entire contract paid 30%, about 600,000 yuan.

According to Wen Zhengdao, last August, the letter was sent to the Mail said that in order to reduce procurement costs, improve picture quality and speed of drawings and so on, the need to change the contract, and proposed four amendments to the terms, including regardless of the scenic area of all photos are at 100 yuan per transaction, panoramic picture for exclusive use Hainan Li Voice said it was unacceptable, so the subsequent end of the paragraph has not been settled.

Before Gould proposed a change of contract, Hainan Laguna said it has finished all the orders of the gold, and most of the photos are processed in the post-processing, because the photos are customized, difficult to sell to other customers, and due to the early investment in a lot of manpower and cost, suddenly suspend the contract, let Wen Zhengdao feel pressure. "We speculate internally that the main reason for the change was that the business was cut off in the company's interior, and Gould said in the mail that he did not want to do the project." "Wen Zhengdao said.

As for the reason for the change of contract, Gould said in the Mail because party B (Hainan sound) picture quality unqualified.

However, Wen Zhengdao does not endorse this statement, "before the contract changes we have turned over to the product to the Gould, and Gould also issued four quality inspection reports." Is it not your own shooting to the point of quality? Similar situation and more than one of our family, considered for a long time, and finally decided to take the legal path, the fastest will be in a week to prosecute Gould. ”

The map market has not yet come to the Tuyere

In fact, the dispute between Hainan Li and Gould highlights the problems in the rapid development of the map market. At present, the bat has put a lot of energy into the map, Baidu set up the LBS mobile business group, launched a Baidu map; Tencent Map, although the force is late, but last year Tencent vigorously pushed the map street features, and spent huge sums of money to buy 50 Street View collection vehicles; Complete the layout of Ali on the mobile map plate.

A person in the industry told the Daily Economic news reporter, for the map software, to obtain map data, the pattern is diverse. In addition to the actual collection, you can also choose to outsource or direct purchase. Map companies need to obtain the quality of map collection and take pictures if they want to survey. At present, BAT has completed the layout of this aspect, Tencent shares four-dimensional map of new, the gold itself is the underlying data provider.

Similar to the Hainan Laguna such a map collection company, usually is the map software company through the outsourcing way, some scenic spots, malls and other places of the picture demand to map collection company, map collection company received orders, and then through the way of human collection, these pictures are transmitted back, for processing synthesis, Finally to the Map software company.

The size of a map-collection company is usually small, up to six or seven people, and hundreds of people, and the main way to make a profit is by picking up a list of companies like Gould, which are not very lucrative, and these companies usually live at the end of the digital map industry.

In fact, the map market is not sunlit, and its burning money is no less than the electricity quotient O2O, a year's expenditure some nearly million. A person in the industry said, BAT's map software, every year to invest a lot of money to update equipment, maintenance database. "Last year, Baidu and Gould tried to map the scene, the introduction of business and advertising, and the category expanded to eat, drink, live, the field, but the promotion of a period of time, the effect is not obvious." The user is still accustomed to use some vertical software, the map market becomes the mobile internet new entrance, still need time. said the person.
