What are the three interesting things about Alibaba and Qiandao Lake that most people don't know?

1. There is a person in Alibaba who can eat fish heads for free in Qiandao Lake for life, but it is not Ma Yun.

Alibaba's data center is hidden at the bottom of Qiandao Lake.

Alibaba's first alliance was built in Qiandao Lake, when there were only dozens of employees.

Let's start with the first thing. I believe that when most people see this privilege, their first reaction will be Ma Yun. After all, the former is the founder of Ali. If only one person can enjoy this privilege, it should be him. However, this is not the case. The person who can eat fish heads for free in Qiandao Lake for life is an Ali employee named Liu Xinting.

It happened on June 5438+065438+ 10/0, 20 17. On the same day, Liu He and other six Ali colleagues drove to Quzhou to visit a colleague who had an operation. On the way back, several people suddenly wanted to stop at Qiandao Lake to eat fish heads and fish soup. However, on the way, I witnessed a car being hit by a truck into Qiandao Lake. Liu Xinting and others quickly stopped to save people and rescued four people in the car, including a pregnant woman, in the cold lake.

Afterwards, the seven Ali employees who saved people were commended by Qiandao Lake Development Group and Ali Headquarters, and Liu Xinting was granted the privilege of eating fish heads in Qiandao Lake Fish Restaurant for free for life.

Let me talk about the second thing. This is actually a bold innovation of Ali in science and technology. The so-called data center is actually a bunch of computers. Just like we usually play computer and mobile games, the machine will get hot after playing for a long time, or even crash or explode after a long time. Internet companies like Ali are doing high-intensity work every second, so the machine is more likely to overheat.

It is a good way to cool the machine with air conditioner, but the power consumption is too large, which is a lot of energy consumption, and it will also produce a lot of carbon emissions, which is harmful to the environment. But it's different at the bottom of Qiandao Lake. The bottom of the lake is always cold, and the flow of water will also achieve the effect of cooling. It is also a natural clean energy source, which is environmentally friendly and achieves the purpose of cooling down. This is a very bold and innovative move.

Finally, let's talk about Ali's first league building. At that time, Ali was founded only one year ago, and he didn't have enough funds and didn't have the current fame. Only a few dozen enthusiastic employees. After work, dozens of people came to Qiandao Lake to eat fish and talk about the future development. Perhaps at that time, these people were just "idiots dreaming", but life was so wonderful that those who dared to dream really realized their dreams.

Perhaps this is also an inspiration to us. There is no shame in having a dream, and we will unswervingly move towards it. Whether it is successful or not, at least we won't have any regrets. Do you think that's the reason?
