Group 3: Business Strategies - Tencent Cloud's strategy emphasizes high-quality growth and a focus on high-value clients, resulting in a decrease in market share but a healthier revenue model [10][12]. - Volcano Engine's approach involves aggressive pricing for Token sales to attract AI customers, but this model has been criticized for lacking customer retention [14][15]. - Tencent Cloud's business structure is differentiated, with a focus on 40% IaaS, 40% PaaS, and 20% SaaS, highlighting its commitment to AI SaaS products [17].
