Legend has it that in 2015, Ali established a "middle platform" against the Finnish game company Supercell, unintentionally leading a trend in the Fax List Internet industry. From the establishment of the "Sharing Division" in 2009 to the launch of the "China-Taiwan Strategy" in 2015, Ali has always been a firm pathfinder and practitioner of China-Taiwan construction, which has also brought great benefits to the rapid development of its business. For example, Alibaba launched a group buying platform (Juhuasuan) in only one and a half months.
However, the R&D resources invested in similar group buying platforms may be dozens of times that of Alibaba, and the preparation time may be Fax List several times that of Alibaba. Big Internet companies quickly sensed the charm of China-Taiwan, and intensively implemented the China-Taiwan strategy from the end of 2018 to the beginning of 2019. So far, China-Taiwan construction seems to have become the standard. But at a time when China and Taiwan are in full swing, we can still hear incessant voices of opposition. Many practitioners even sighed that Zhongtai is a hideous "burial ground" under the appearance of "Utopia". The middle office, as a part of the platform organization, is the organizational module between the front-end combat unit and the back-end resource department.
Most of these modules are the so-called cost centers in traditional organizations. They are responsible for integrating the resources in the Fax List background into the "middleware" required for the front-end war, which is convenient to call on demand. A common analogy: sweet and sour pork ribs, fish-flavored shredded pork, and squirrel mandarin fish all require a sweet and sour sauce made of sugar, vinegar, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and starch. The chef can prepare it in advance. Sweet and sour sauce, just add it directly to a certain dish. In fact, behind this is a concept that is not well known to the public.
