Although there is no official announcement, I found that since last month, the profiles of official website and Guan Wei accounts of Ant Financial have been quietly changed to Ant Group. This shows that Alipay, which has been chasing 10 for many years, has officially shown its card to the outside world: I don't pretend, I am a technology company.
Ants didn't become technology companies overnight. From the beginning, technology was the gene of ants.
In 20 14, Alipay welcomed the first user who opened fingerprint identification, four months earlier than American Apple. In 20 15, Ma Yun made his debut in Germany with a brush face, which surprised the world.
2065 438+09- 10, OceanBase, a database independently developed by ants, broke the 9-year world record in Oracle Bone Inscriptions and topped the TPC-C champion in the database field. Seven months later, I set a new world record, and my score increased by 1 1 times. After ten years of grinding a sword, in June 2020, OceanBase officially became an independent company.
The emerging blockchain technology has always been the strength of Ant Financial, and the number of patents continues to be the highest in the world, which has been applied to more than 40 scenarios. Now, the ant blockchain can technically support the account scale of 654.38+0 billion and the daily transaction volume of 654.38+0 billion, and realize the processing capacity of 654.38+0 million cross-chain messages per second. At present, no other company in the industry can achieve such technical performance.
As long as you keep working hard, life will definitely give you candy. For this day, ants continue to invest, and now more than 63% of the employees in the whole group are researchers, which has surpassed the global established technology companies such as Google and Amazon.
Now, this company that is considered to be the most "doing nothing" has finally come out! After changing the new name, ants can "run around" on the road to becoming the best technology company in the world, which will definitely bring us more surprises!
