Behind the booming development of JD Cloud is Liu Qiangdong's determination to develop JD technology in spite of opposition and doubts.

At the beginning of the construction of Jingdong Cloud, we are inevitable to question, Renmin University of sociology graduate Liu Qiangdong is often criticized for "do not understand technology", even spread "Jingdong does not do the gene of science and technology". It is precisely because of this that Jingdong has to work hard to overcome technical difficulties and break the suspicion that Jingdong can't do science and technology well.

Under Mr. Liu's determination, JD.com has poured cash into developing technology and courting technical talent. With unremitting efforts, Jingdong Cloud has gone through 5 years from the planning to the prototype to the official launch of cloud computing business. In April 2016, Jingdong officially opened public cloud services, which was defined as "the first year of Jingdong Cloud".

Liu Qiangdong believes that Jingdong Cloud can improve the integrity of the supply chain in the highest efficiency, so that the marketing system can better connect customers and enterprises. Objectively speaking, the emergence of Jingdong Cloud also broke the oligarchy of domestic data cloud service providers, greatly facilitated the digital transformation of Jingdong, and added advantages to the development of Jingdong.

Since its development, Jingdong Cloud has carried the digitalization capability of the whole chain of Jingdong, covering six business scenarios, namely digitalization procurement, collaborative research and development, intelligent manufacturing, global link, value service and supply chain integration. Jingdong Cloud is driving the integration of data and reality with digital intelligence technology, optimizing the efficiency of the overall supply chain based on the overall enterprise industry, and connecting enterprise ecological partners. Now, this "cloud" has gone beyond Jingdong, floating to thousands of industries and playing an important role. Step by step, it has been deeply involved in transportation logistics, Suizhi Energy, Suizhi retail, automobile service, central state-owned enterprises, Suizhi finance, industrial interconnection, rural revitalization, zero-carbon parks, cities and other industrial scenes. In the past year, JD Cloud has served more than 95% of large central enterprises, nearly 100 cities, 2,048 large enterprises, 914 financial institutions and more than 2.07 million small, medium and micro enterprises, achieving a high-speed growth of more than 110%.
