Reinventing the Millennium

The changes to Alibaba B2B were not immediately announced.

All senior officials did not disclose the information to the outside world.

In fact, by that night, Wei Zhe still had a conversation with Ma Min, and once again tried to preserve the Zhonggong team as a resigned CEO.

Although judging from the content of the independent investigation team, severe treatment is inevitable.

Wei Zhe's attitude in this conversation was much more magnanimous, and he still called Ma Chen the boss.

"Boss, all illegal businessmen have been dealt with. Even if there are indeed internal problems, if you replace them with new people and start the management again, they will definitely be able to correct it without going into a big fight."

"It would be unfair to them if we still want to expand the scope and clean up completely."

"Is there no problem in Taobao Xiaoerli?"

"The China Supply Team is the most resolute team in practicing Alibaba's values. They are the most upright and successful. We cannot hold high standards against them just because of this."

"That's not fair!"

Wei Zhe defended the team.

From the end of the afternoon meeting to the evening, his whole person gradually changed from an indescribable calm to another filled with regrets. He thought a lot.

The first thing is the future of the team.

Including Li Xuhui, when he knew that Wei Zhe was coming to see Ma Ren, his instructions were also about the team.

Secondly, if the team that B2B is proud of is not handled carefully, it is likely to change.

"How many points do you think you can score in B2B?" Ma Chen did not respond directly, but mentioned an old story. He once gave Wei Zhe a score of 75, and Wei Zhe himself gave himself a score of 100.

Wei Zhe looked at Ma Chen and suddenly said something in his mind: give NM points.

He endured his temper and changed his previous title this time: "Mr. Ma, I'm talking about the team's handling of the problem."

"This is an unprecedented incident in the history of the group. How do you think I should handle it?" Ma Min asked a question.

It was also his first time dealing with something of this scale and nature.

From a development and principle perspective, how can it be more appropriate?

Wei Zhe was silent for a while, unprecedented, unprecedented.

He sighed, what could he do if he were Mr. Ma?

Up and down, inside and out, everyone is watching.

But he suddenly had a strange idea. If it was Mr. Fang, if it was someone named Fang, damn, what tricks would he come up with?

"It's easy to destroy but hard to build." Wei Zhe said with regret as he suddenly felt that the outcome of the Chinese supply team might be a given.

"This is another kind of construction." Ma Chen had a different opinion.

Only by eradicating stubborn diseases can we go further.

Wei Zhe sighed again, maybe.

However, since it was a private occasion, I could say things that I couldn't say during the day.

"There are internal problems and improper management. I admit it, but Fang Zhuo in this incident had no ulterior motives to help Alibaba." Wei Zhe mentioned external causes, "Mr. Ma, I said that our team and group buying It’s a natural fit, and this is the best opportunity to do it yourself.”

There are hundreds of projects in the group buying market, and it is completely impossible for them all to exist.

Next, it may decrease sharply, which means the nutrient absorption of the previous items.

If the market is really evenly divided, it will be difficult to win at that time.

The time is right, the place is right, and the people are in the right place. It takes more than just one person to engage in market competition. What's more, the Chinese supplier may suffer a serious loss of vitality.

After Wei Zhe resigned, he looked back at Alibaba B2B and considered Mr. Ma's attitude. Instead, he felt more regretful. If he had given himself more time, even three months or half a year, maybe it would be a new situation.

The weight of a strongly growing business may be measured differently.

"Fang Zhuo can do tricks." Ma Chen said calmly, "He likes to do these little tricks."

Then, he added: "Group buying will do it."

Wei Zhe didn't know how to evaluate Mr. Ma's evaluation of Fang, but seeing that he had stated that he would do group buying, he felt somewhat comforted.

Maybe the next one will do better.

He took a few steps and turned to talk about the impact of his resignation.

"I think my resignation can serve as a warning to the group's operations, but this incident will cause harm to B2B. After the announcement is made tomorrow, there will be a lot more complicated speculations from the outside world."

No matter what, B2B will be shaken if the CEO and COO resign, and this will undoubtedly cause Alibaba, which is already attracting attention, to suffer more public opinion turmoil.

Ma Ren shook his head and said: "Don't worry about them. We are not doing something to satisfy everyone, we are doing the right thing."

Wei Zhe sighed inwardly for no reason. Mr. Ma's words really sounded like Mr. Ma.

Forget it, that’s it.

Wei Zhe knew that Mr. Ma was a very determined person, so at this moment, he could only say so much.

He hesitated to speak, but took back all his thoughts and emotions.

Now that things have come to this, any words spoken are like wailing.

Just howl a few times and forget it.

Wei Zhe bid farewell to Mr. Ma. He has responsibilities and has already assumed them.

It's a long way to go, see you later.

…

While Wei Zhe was talking to Ma Chen, internal processing within the group was already underway, including all major political commissars being notified to assist in relevant work.

The CEO and COO have resigned, but the liquidation continues.

Including Deng Kangming, who was promoted from a B2B company to the chief human resources officer of the group, was also interviewed. This made him extremely surprised. He had become a partner of the group and had already taken the position, and now he was still being held accountable?

To some extent, this also shows the determination to pursue the matter to the end.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Zhang Weihua, the political commissar, was interviewed by Jiang Fang and was responsible for coordinating the subsequent handling work.

When Zhang Weihua walked into the room, he saw that Guan Mingsheng, who was previously responsible for the independent investigation, was also there. After he sat down, he took the initiative and said: "My brother and Eagle King have been dealt with. Now let's talk about mine first. I am on the list." Which number?"

Jiang Fang pursed his lips and said, "They are not being dealt with, they are resigned."

Zhang Weihua looked at Jiang Fang and said nothing.

Guan Mingsheng said slowly: "You are in the process, but you are the political commissar, and there are so many people under you. You have to be responsible for them. You should have a heart-to-heart talk, downgrade where there should be a downgrade, and persuade to quit where there should be. Let’s talk about what you’re going to do after this is done.”

Zhang Weihua still said nothing, but the names of the team members below emerged sadly in his heart.

After a while, he nodded and agreed.

Immediately, Zhang Weihua got his first task. As the Guangdong Province region with the most blacklisted customers, he needed to fire a regional manager. The manager of the Shenzhen Second District was now selected.

This conversation was led by Zhang Weihua.

The next morning, the company's announcement still had not been released. Zhang Weihua had already met Qi Yaoliang, the second manager of Shenzhen University who had been recalled, and informed him of the result.

Qi Yaoliang is an old employee with outstanding performance. He reacted greatly when he heard the handling suggestions.

He had been investigated before and truthfully told what he knew about the situation. Now his first reaction was that he was very aggrieved and unwilling.

"Why? I didn't participate, why should you fire me?"

"You have to be responsible for the situation of the team." Zhang Weihua had to say the shock to the top management yesterday. "It's like my brother is responsible for us. He has resigned."

Qi Yaoliang was stunned on the spot, but after a while he was still aggrieved: "Are they all fired? If not, then why should it be me?"

"This is the company's decision and the independent investigation team's decision," Zhang Weihua said.

Qi Yaoliang stared at Zhang Weihua in front of him and asked: "Old Zhang, your performance was the best before. There must be more shady businessmen than me. Why didn't you fire? Why did you fire me?"

Before Zhang Weihua was promoted, he was in charge of Shenzhen No. 1, and his results were very good. If we talk about the number of black businessmen, there will only be a lot more.

Faced with such questioning, he was speechless.

Qi Yaoliang lowered his head to read the document, then raised his head and insisted: "I don't accept it, I won't sign it!"

Zhang Weihua really didn't know how to continue persuading, so he could only nod silently, and then said after a while: "I'll go talk."

However, his communication was destined to be fruitless.

Not only is sophomore Qi Yaoliang unable to survive, but Zhang Weihua also received the latest news that Yang Zijiang, the general manager of the entire Guangdong Province region, will also be fired.

The Guangdong Province region has the largest number of illegal businessmen, so General Manager Yang Zijiang is responsible for this.

Zhang Weihua was already numb with shock.

These are all colleagues fighting side by side!

During lunch, Zhang Weihua and Yang Zijiang were sitting at the same table.

"I heard that the company has to open a regional general manager. Lao Zhang, do you think this will fire me?" Yang Zijiang was a little uneasy.

Zhang Weihua opened his mouth and said vaguely: "Really? No way."

Yang Zijiang took a mouthful of rice and sighed: "I suspect it's me, Lao Zhang. Do you know that even if you die, I should prepare early."

Zhang Weihua was so sad that he was speechless.

After the meal, he found Vice President Gan Jiawei, who felt he could still speak.

"Agan, why should you fire Yangzijiang? If you really want to fire him, then let me do it." Zhang Weihua made a request.

Gan Jiawei was helpless: "This is the decision of the independent investigation team and has been submitted to the board of directors. He cannot keep it."

Zhang Weihua was silent for a long time and then said again: "As for Qi Yaoliang, he works so hard and keeps working in the company every year. Let me do it instead."

Gan Jiawei looked at Zhang Weihua and said softly: "I decided the punishment list."

Zhang Weihua's eyes widened angrily: "Do you think Qi Yaoliang has to be fired?!"

"Otherwise we will fire you?" Gan Jiawei asked.

"Fire me, fire me, what's wrong with Qi Yaoliang!" Zhang Weihua said loudly.

Gan Jiawei also raised his voice: "Then what's your fault?"

The two looked at each other, dejected.

Zhang Weihua's throat was a little dry, so he picked up the teacup and put it back, trying to make a last-ditch effort: "I know Qi Yaoliang very well. He is not the kind of person who refuses to report what he knows, and there is nothing wrong with him or his values."

Gan Jiawei looked at Zhang Weihua and said, "I know you very well. You are not the kind of person who refuses to report what you know, and there is nothing wrong with your values."

He continued: "I know many people very well, and they are not that kind of people. But if the manager knows this situation, he will jump in to deal with it, but why they don't know is a problem that the group thinks."

In fact, this is not only a long-term understanding of getting along, but also based on practical interests.

The investigation team found that the amount involved in the case was around US$2 million. After excluding the scammer's own costs and retentions, and averaging out to the hundreds of employees involved, how much money can be squeezed in?

Therefore, the conclusion of the investigation team is that very few supervisors were involved, and there was no involvement at the manager level, let alone the level of regional general manager, political commissar, or even COO and CEO?

Would you rather risk losing a huge reward for a small amount of black money?

The proportion of black merchants only accounted for 1.2% of the newly signed customers last year. How much good performance can this bring?

After seeing the investigation team's report, Gan Jiawei would rather the amount written on it was US$20 million or US$200 million. What the hell is US$2 million?

But if you have to measure it by values, it is like the amount of robbery. It can only be said to be of a bad nature.

"I don't agree with the group's handling of the matter. I think my brother and Eagle King are both wronged. The front line is at best a local problem." Gan Jiawei made no secret of his views, "We are not gods, not to mention those black businessmen. They were cleared out long ago.”

He stared into Zhang Weihua's eyes and said bluntly: "But now it's up to the top to deal with it, so we have to be responsible for the people below. How many can be saved? The line has been drawn above. Qi Yaoliang cannot be saved. You Zhang Weihua can keep it."

Gan Jiawei finally said: "You are standing in this position not for yourself, but for the people below. You have to stand even if you don't want to."

Zhang Weihua was convinced.

The will of the group to deal with it cannot be resisted, so try to protect as many people as possible.

Most of the employees involved this time were recruited after 2008, but many of those punished were old employees.

Zhang Weihua worked hard together with everyone. At that time, many people's family backgrounds were not good, and it was not easy for them to work hard to get to this point. Such a shock is simply an unreasonable disaster.

He walked out of the office and suddenly felt that A Gan might also be dissatisfied, but he still wanted to protect others. Was he one of those protected by him?

Zhang Weihua was in a state of confusion.

Sometimes I feel that the value system has really been impacted, and sometimes I feel that the people at the top of the group are being held up too high by outsiders and are unable to get down.

He went to the bathroom to wash his face, and then squatted on the toilet, not knowing what to think.

The sound from outside brought Zhang Weihua back to his senses.

"That group of people were so favored back then, and Mr. Ma paid so much attention to them, but now, tsk tsk."

"They think they have good values ​​and are loyal. It's not like this happens and they usually yell at others."

"The general manager of the region allows black businesses to develop and doesn't care. He deserves it."

Zhang Weihua clenched his fists and vaguely heard a familiar voice, which made him feel particularly chilled.

Over the years, the profits of Zhonggong have supported other businesses. Now the value of Zhonggong has decreased. The bitter brothers made a mistake, and suddenly it was a big deal!

The people next to me were still pointing and applauding secretly!

Zhang Weihua waited until the sound was far away before coming out. If it were before, he might have rushed out to fuck them. He didn't know why he was like this now.

He washed his face again and looked at himself in the mirror.

In the past, he considered himself to be the mainstay of the company, but now, he doesn't know what he is.

Many scenes are replicas of the time. For example, in the previous chapter, Li Xuhui cried after resigning. The materials afterwards said that he was "crying profusely." I did not use this word. It would be too exaggerated to write it out.

Judging from cross-checking, this version was used in this incident.

The perspective from many years ago will be very different from the perspective of what happened at the time.
