What is the traditional Internet?

Internet companies are companies that take Internet technology as the core and provide services to make money.

Taobao is an application of Internet technology, providing a trading environment and serving online merchants and individuals. Taobao's income is not made by selling goods by itself, but by online merchants buying such online services.

Traditional companies also provide services to make money, but not through internet services.

Such as the consulting industry. Consulting companies may also use the Internet to improve efficiency, such as using VoIP, but they are users who buy Internet services, and their core is their own consulting services.

The development direction of the company is to continuously improve competitiveness, expand market scope and establish competition barriers. Internet companies can achieve this by continuously improving their technical service capabilities and expanding their service radius. So do traditional companies. Improving service capacity and controlling costs as much as possible are also the main development directions.

Internet companies expand traditional business, and traditional companies expand Internet business, such as JD.COM. COM, which is a traditional business developed by Internet companies, and the cloud service provided by Huawei is an Internet business developed by traditional companies. It's hard to say whether this is a transformation or an increase in business lines. Even the so-called transformation like Suning has not completely abandoned the traditional retail model, but is actually expanding its business.
