Alibaba will release a major business, sources familiar with the matter say it is related to Gaode.

Tomorrow is Alibaba's 26th birthday. The internet has been spreading news that Alibaba will be holding a press conference in Hangzhou on this day, with a "blockbuster business launch", and many media outlets have received invitations to go to Hangzhou. This morning, a reporter from Whip Bull Knight visited Alibaba's Xixi campus and saw that a corner of the visitor area was being set up for the press conference. Some staff said they don't know exactly what the project is, only that it is related to Gaode. Subsequently, related personnel revealed that in the past few months, many Gaode teams have been frequenting the Alibaba headquarters in Hangzhou and Beijing, "we don't know the details, but many of them are senior engineers and product managers from Gaode." Earlier, there were rumors online that the previously unused C4 building at Alibaba's global headquarters was being used for a high-level new project. The new project team has a separate office, completely closed-off working mode, additional access control permissions, and even their own security personnel. The project team has been in place for over two months, but few people know the specific details, and the level of secrecy is very high.
