Alibaba And Tencent Started The War.

Alibaba is still in a dominant position, although it is more than Tencent evening line, but in terms of quantity, it is still difficult to draw a conclusion about who will win the competition. Just like the previous dispute about taxi software, it may become a long drawn out battle.

The battle between Alipay wallet and WeChat has expanded to the whole city.

Recently, ant gold clothing announced that in early April, it will be on the mobile terminal's Alipay wallet, hand wash and micro-blog home page to jointly launch "city services".

This is a collection of registration services, traffic violation inquiries, entry and exit enquiries, license plate Yaohao, marriage appointments and many other life services. It can pfer a series of departments, such as hospitals, traffic police brigade, to your mobile phone.

Just last week, WeChat also announced that its "city service" entrance was officially accessed in Wuhan and Zhengzhou. This function has already appeared in WeChat of Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Foshan users.

The function of "city service" in Alipay has already been launched on Alipay wallet in Hangzhou area. In early April, users of 9 cities such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Ningbo, Suzhou, Qingdao and Nanjing will be officially released in early April. Beijing is listed in the next second batches of plans. It is estimated that 30 cities will open this entrance in April.

In contrast to the two giants' functions of "urban services", taking Alibaba in Hangzhou as an example, Alipay wallet city services include vehicle offense, immigration, public pport enquiries, driving license, vehicle information, passenger car Yaohao, life payment, registration and urban road conditions.

In Guangzhou's WeChat base, Tencent's urban services include not only the above functions, but also the functions of Hong Kong and Macao endorsement, the appointment of ID card business, and the recruitment of enquiries.

At the same time, there are different cities on both sides, and the services offered are also different.

This is not a plan for the two giants to rush to the cities.

As early as 2009, Alipay launched the "hydropower and coal" payment business in Chengdu, Hangzhou and other cities, covering 28 provinces and 253 prefecture level cities.

In addition, illegal handling, "future hospital" and so on are Alipay's successive projects in this period.

In 2014, WeChat launched services such as "hydropower and coal" payment, traffic police ticket and so on in some cities.

Although it seems that only a number of interfaces can be opened up, it may involve the reconstruction and reorganization of a city's overall information architecture including government affairs, public security, pportation, medical treatment and finance.

According to Alibaba's plan, it hopes to build up all information networks based on Ali cloud and provide big data services for them.

According to public information, the Alibaba has been working with the governments of 12 provinces and cities in Hainan, Guizhou, Gansu and Xinjiang since February last year.

Take Guizhou as an example.

The "cloud Guizhou" platform, which was jointly built with the Guizhou provincial government, put the data of 7 departments in Guizhou province up and centralized, which saved Guizhou's IT cost by 51% a year, and also achieved data concentration.

At present, the above-mentioned Ali cloud projects and "urban services" are two lines of promotion.

But Ali cloud data China business development expert Duan Yonghua confirmed to reporters that the future Alibaba plans to connect the two, to achieve the integration of the public's front-end data and the government's back-end data.

With the help of this platform, government departments can improve efficiency and save resources, which will lay a solid foundation for the future administration and data management.

In addition, it was also influenced by the concept of "Internet +" proposed by Premier Li Keqiang of two sessions this year.

Compared with Alibaba, Tencent cloud does not seem to be open in government affairs at present. It is limited to some reasons in enterprises and government affairs, such as the Shenzhen notary office, which has just adopted Tencent cloud.

Liu Xiaojie, deputy general manager of major client division, revealed that their goal was to open 50 cities by the end of this year.

WeChat has revealed that the "city service" has been serving 9 million passengers over the past 3 months.

Preemptive cities

In fact, the logic of grabbing a taxi is similar: the two giants need to grab users, enhance user stickiness, and accumulate more large data resources as soon as possible.

For giants like Alibaba and Tencent, data means imagination and business.

Feng Liyun, a health care professional at the public service division of ants gold clothing, told reporters that the cooperation between Alibaba and hospitals was very deep. In addition to the "future hospital" in the chain of registration, diagnosis, treatment, payment, medical insurance and so on, the hospital is also working with hospitals to study the contents of preview, treatment and intelligent hardware of big data.

This is the same category that the Apple Corp has recently published with Beijing Xuanwu hospital.

Alibaba and Tencent have their own advantages in seizing the city's entrance.

If we say, compared with WeChat, Alipay wallet 190 million of the active users are not worth showing off, then Alipay's position in the financial industry and the payment industry can not be underestimated.

In March, Erik's application showed that as at the end of last year, Alipay accounted for 82.3% of the third party mobile payment paction scale in 2014, which did not include many companies and industry system pactions.

The biggest advantage of Tencent is WeChat.

The latest Q4 earnings report shows that WeChat has 500 million monthly users.

In contrast, Alibaba, when it sees that it wants to launch "city services" on the three homepage of Alipay's wallet, mobile Taobao and micro-blog, is always a bit of a mess.
