The chief executive from Wu and NTA spread founder Shenyin together discussed "map navigation how to expand the new territory," the topic, which the CEO of Gould from Wu share a lot of interesting content, and involved a lot of choice Ali reason, here and everyone to share.
1 About Mobile Internet
In Cheng Congwu's view, the PC era is to put young men and women home, mobile Internet is to liberate them from home, PC-side business model at a glance, but the mobile side of the business model is difficult. So in the mobile internet era, everyone should be parasitic in a large ecosystem, in the entire industrial system occupy a position, only business model can be said.
2 before the free decision about Gould
Deciding to be free is a very difficult process, especially for map navigation companies. Because in the area of map navigation, the profit model is not only clear and stable, the model of charging is very stable, and the contract is a sign for several years, the visibility of the business model is very high.
With the mobile internet craze, map business natural and mobile Internet, navigation is the most basic demand, then realized that the future of navigation in the mobile end may be more imaginative space, map is a strategic capacity, so must be transformed into the mobile internet.
At that time decided to free, the company encountered a great obstacle, because it is listed companies, the revenue drop will directly affect the share price, the stock price is directly related to investors, the stock price does not come, pressure will be very large. But it seems to me that the decision was right at the time.
3 traditional software companies transform mobile internet companies, how to face the competition of mature internet players such as bat?

Especially now the more emphasis on the concept of Solomo, the importance of location, we have in the Map field map area has been perfect, more than 10 years of industry experience, accumulated rich data. But in the ecology of the entire mobile internet, or giants of the game, must make a choice in the big ecological.
Compared to other giants, and Ali will be more complementary, the map of the larger prospects still in O2O and mobile power, Ali mature payment system, the electricity quotient system, cloud computing and other resources, plus the map after the imagination space will be huge. And a lot of small micro-enterprises for the Solomo demand is strong, in front of these opportunities, can be together to promote the development of mobile Internet.
5 about the opening of the map
The advantage of Gould is that data accumulated in the field of location-based services, as well as services provided based on these data, such as navigation, search, rendering, etc. Open in fact is the mentality of the open, as well as the ability to open, the industry's basic ability to open up the mobile industry chain, mobile location services in the overall system. No one can do all the things, who can not live without.
6 How do you think of other map companies that have not yet been Internet?
