Reinventing the Millennium

On May 5, a rumor that two top Alibaba B2B executives suddenly resigned attracted industry attention.

It is rumored that B2B’s president Wei Zhe and chief operating officer Li Xuhui both resigned!

What's the blame?

B2B black merchants are to blame!

Is this problem that serious?

Could it be that these two people were really taken down?

The news went viral in the industry, and many people were asking Alibaba’s friends about the situation.

And the discussion within Hang Lung 23 that had just dropped suddenly exploded. What the hell? Is this the wrong way to eat melon? There must be some other problem causing it!

Then... what role did my boss play in this?

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. Ali's surname is Ma, not Fang!

The enthusiasm of the people who eat melons has skyrocketed, but things have become more complicated and confusing.

Including Liu Zonghong, the great secret who was known by many people to capture the flag and raise the plaque, he was also asked intentionally or unintentionally about the reason, but he really couldn't give a clear explanation. However, such an attitude made him even more suspected of knowing the inside story, and he could only laugh or cry.

The reason is that Alibaba is one of the four giants, and B2B is a listed company in Hong Kong. The resignation of COO Li Xuhui requires an announcement, not to mention the president Wei Zhe, who is known as the successor.

In the evening, Su Wei finally finished her work, and with a burning spirit of gossip, she rolled into the CEO office of Hang Lung 23 like the wind.

Unlock with fingerprint, open and close the door, all in one go.

Fang Zhuo was startled: "What are you doing in such a hurry? You scared me. I thought it was Teacher Ma who broke in!"

"Don't do anything bad, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door!" Su Wei's eyes were bright.

Fang Zhuo complained: "The problem is that you didn't knock on the door either."

"Stop talking nonsense, what's going on? Have Wei Zhe and Li Xuhui resigned? Why did they leave? How did this inexplicably develop like this? How did you confuse Mr. Ma?" Su Wei asked a series of questions.

Fang Zhuo took two sips of tea and spread his hands: "I don't know if they have resigned."

"You don't know? You really don't know? You really don't know, won't you ask?" Su Wei had endured her curiosity for most of the day, "They are all asking Ali's friends for confirmation, so you should ask too!"

Fang Zhuo nodded and said thoughtfully: "I may not have any friends in Ali."

Su Wei: "..."

Just tell me this unpleasant truth!

She pointed to the mobile phone on the table again: "Aren't your circle of friends full of Alibaba executives? They didn't express any emotion today? Sad, shocked, and so on."

Fang Zhuo shook his head: "No, even if President Wei and the others really resign, it will definitely be in a small area first. Everyone is very conscious. Even if there is sadness and shock, it is an internal emotion, and there is no need to export weakness to the outside world."

Su Wei frowned, thinking about whether there was anyone suitable from the investors who could verify the information.

But before the name appeared in her mind, she saw a call with the name "Wei Zhe" clearly appearing on the phone on the table.

Su Wei's eyes widened slightly and she pointed at the screen.

Fang Zhuo saw Wei Zhe's name, crossed it out, and refused to answer the phone.

"Why didn't you answer the call?" Su Wei was surprised, "Wei Zhe called!"

Fang Zhuo muttered: "I'm afraid he won't be calm."

"If you don't do anything wrong, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. If you don't do anything wrong, don't be afraid of talking to Wei Zhe." Su Wei watched as the phone on the table lit up again, and Wei Zhe called in for the second time.

Fang Zhuo continued to hang up and refused, while explaining: "I'm not afraid myself, and I didn't do anything wrong. I'm afraid that he won't calm down, and the situation will be ugly, and I won't be able to do it."

Su Wei stared at the phone and didn't see the third call. Wei Zhe probably gave up.

Then, she mocked slightly: "Then you are quite a weirdo."

Fang Zhuo nodded: "One code equals one code."

"From your tone, you still know or are sure of it!" Su Wei turned to ask, "Why is it like this? Why?"

She had seen the change in this man's circle of friends before and felt that the stabbing was too fast and too urgent. She had no idea that the effect would be so good!

This makes people confused, why?

Is there any other hidden secret?

Su Wei has recently been busy with the matter of speeding up logistics, and suspects that something she is not aware of is at play.

"Why..." Fang Zhuo thought for a while and said simply, "Maybe it goes against the values."

Su Wei was dissatisfied: "You still use these words to fool people."

Fang Zhuo picked up the teacup and said slowly: "Otherwise... the power struggle doesn't need to be so complicated. Wei Zhe has never threatened Mr. Ma. It's just as easy to touch him as it is to touch Sun Tongyu."

"As for the business impact brought by this black businessman, they have all been liquidated. They are in the past tense. They are basically things that have been dealt with. They are things that have been revealed again. The amount involved is actually not very large."

Su Wei was more interested in numbers: "What do you mean the amount involved is not large? 100 million? 200 million?"

"Probably remove a 0." Fang Zhuo said in an uncertain tone.

"Tens of millions of dollars?" Su Wei pondered.

"Chinese currency." Fang Zhuo corrected the currency unit.

Su Wei: "..."

She asked in disbelief: "This is an old account, but it is also a small account. How big of a problem is it inside? Even if there is collusion between inside and outside, how can Wei Zhe be taken down directly? If it were you, would you be able to do it?"

"Don't always blame me. This matter can be handled coldly or in a big way. It all depends on what Mr. Ma thinks." Fang Zhuo shrugged, "But this Alibaba team is the most special team in the country, probably no other." ”

“Whether it’s about values, centripetal force, or loyalty, there’s always something intrinsic that holds everyone together when Alibaba’s B2B business works.”

Fang Zhuo looked at Su Wei's thinking expression and said with a smile: "The Zhonggong team, together with Mr. Ma, has risen so dazzlingly in just a few years. It can't just rely on small means like posting flyers and fighting in groups. It has to be a little bit... Something special.”

"At this stage, Mr. Ma believes that this thing is still important and needs to be maintained. It is still the main contradiction of an organization, so he will focus on this main contradiction. There are probably other factors, but they have to take second place."

"Well, it's interesting to look at this as a classic business case."

Su Wei grasped one word: "At this stage?"

Fang Zhuo will not explain in detail.

At this stage, Mr. Ma has not even divested himself of Alipay. According to his statement in the Alipay incident, this time is probably an "imperfect but correct decision."

He said: "No matter how the process goes, the result seems to be favorable. Don't think too much, Mi Tuan is already promoting urban business expansion plans."

Su Wei was just confused about the process. As for whether the rice balls were a struggle or a harvest, she was not interested.

She looked at the man in front of her who didn't want to say anything and asked, "Have you and Mr. Ma talked about Sun Tongyu?"

"How do we talk now? I'll wait for him to find me." Fang Zhuo shook his head.

"Check if he's still on your friends list," Su Wei said.

Fang Zhuo picked up his phone and before he clicked on the friend list, he suddenly received a message from Wei Zhe on Yixin.

——I will go to Shanghai to visit Mr. Fang tomorrow.

"Um..." Fang Zhuo glanced at his friend, who seemed not to have been blocked, and showed the new news to Su Wei, "Why do you think he came to me? It's not like I fired him."

"You have done all the bad things, how could I know what he was looking for you for?" Su Wei said with a smile.

Fang Zhuo sighed, looked at Teacher Xiao Su again, and protested: "I'm already very restrained!"

Su Wei was about to speak, but suddenly she felt less confident again. Could this man be telling the truth?

Even the situation in front of him was already very restrained.

The old demon Henglong has a deep mind and vicious methods. Is it really just a point to stop everything?

Su Wei had no answer.

She could only say: "Will you see Wei Zhe tomorrow? If you see him, please be careful."

"I don't think he has any position to come to me." Fang Zhuo was a little strange and said, "Don't worry, I have experience."

Su Wei: "..."

I don’t know what to say, but it seems that I have experience.

But being so magnanimous... maybe the hero is magnanimous.

Su Wei finally got the answer from the president's office, and the gossip was most likely true.

And more people were completely sure of the news after seeing Ali's announcement the next day.

Alibaba issued an announcement announcing the resignations of Wei Zhe and Li Xuhui, and that Lu Zhaoxi of Taobao would take over as B2B president.

So resigned!

Both of them resigned because of illegal business issues!

The announcement stated that they resigned because the company's integrity culture was damaged!

What's the reason?

In addition to the news about Ali that quickly aroused everyone's startling discussion, Shi Chui analyzed the inside story and speculated on power struggles and factional strife. There was also a looming figure whose presence was magnified.

What about the richest man who fell over?

come out!

Did you do something?

You can't just post it on Moments. If Ma Chen gets the hint, he should immediately fire off the two senior executives!

Everyone who can connect Mr. Fang and the Ali incident firmly believes that there must be a reason.

Especially Lei Jun from Mi Tuan...

He has left Shencheng and flew to Yangcheng.

I had just been busy for two days when I suddenly received the news that Wei Zhe and Li Xuhui from Alibaba had resigned. I felt numb all over!

Is this thing being held up like this?

Once Wei Zhe and Li Xuhui leave, will Alibaba’s B2B next step be group buying?

Lei Jun had received Ali's intention to invest before, and he also saw that Mr. Fang and others attached great importance to the China Railway Supplies Army. He himself was making preparations according to the conditions for Ali's entry...

Suddenly, the three armies changed their commanders. Lu Zhaoxi, who was originally in charge of Taobao, suddenly took on the B2B role as well. How can the routes be consistent?

Lei Jun had a phone call with Sun Tongyu, who was still in Shanghai, and couldn't help but have some discussions.

Sun Tongyu was also shocked by the resignations of Wei Zhe and Li Xuhui, but after the shock, he was filled with mixed joy.

"This is the biggest benefit to Mi Tuan. The prime time for our development has arrived!"

"Even if Lu Zhaoxi continues to engage in group buying after finishing his rectification, we will still be ahead and keep our position open!"

Lei Jun asked: "I heard that Lu Zhaoxi is also very capable? Can he continue to insist on Alibaba's B2B transformation?"

Lu Zhaoxi took over Taobao from Sun Tongyu.

Sun Tongyu thought about it and said: "This is not just a matter of who is on top. The three armies can seize the commander, but the general cannot seize the will. Mr. Lei, you only know the Central Supply Iron Army and have not deeply experienced their operation. Just get rid of it this time." Wei Zhe and Li Xuhui are still continuing to liquidate, which directly stigmatizes the China Supply Team."

"It was supposed to be the top ten games, but now it's the top 20 or 30 games. Many people will be dissatisfied."

"This will be a hidden change for the entire team and a weakening of the overall combat effectiveness."

Sun Tongyu suspected that there would be many people leaving this time, and although those who stayed were still those who had been tempered for a long time, they were different from before and after.

Lei Jun still couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Ma, why?"

Before this, no one knew what the blacklist was. Just look it up and get an explanation. It wouldn't have much impact at all. Why did it explode all of a sudden?

He knew that Sun Tongyu must know Ali.

Sun Tongyu pondered for a long time and said: "It may be a matter of order of importance. Don't pay too much attention to this. The most important thing is to use rice balls in the next six months to prove that he underestimated the competition and potential of the group buying market."

Although Lei Jun didn't want to prove this to Mr. Ma, but Mr. Sun said so, he could do it.

After the phone call ended, Lei Jun still had a picture of that time in Hang Lung 23. Mr. Fang's "research and research". What on earth was he going to study?

Lei Jun had been watching the whole incident until now, and felt that Mr. Fang had suddenly removed the stumbling block in front of Mi Tuan.

Seeing flowers in the mist and fishing for the moon in the water are hazy and absurd.

This Mr. Fang...

Somehow, even though Lei Jun was the one being helped, he couldn't help but say something in his heart - it's a bit bad.

…

At four o'clock in the afternoon on May 6, while the industry was discussing Alibaba's announcement, Wei Zhe, one of the parties involved in the announcement, quietly walked into Hang Lung Building.

Any Yike employee who knows Wei Zhe is surprised.

ah?

Is the speed of reemployment after being laid off so fast?

Did Mr. Wei surrender?

Otherwise, why would he suddenly come to see Mr. Fang at this time?

"Please take a seat, Mr. Wei, please take a seat, Xiao Liu, you go out first." When Fang Zhuo saw Wei Zhe walking into the CEO's office, he immediately stood up to welcome him.

Liu Zonghong hesitated a little, Mr. Wei must have come with bad intentions.

He made tea and poured it out. Seeing that the boss had not changed his mind, he could only go out quietly and be ready to come in for help at any time.

Hang Lung 23 has been besieged, poured with gasoline, and stained with blood... A man with wealth and freedom like Mr. Wei shouldn't be so unwise, right?

I heard you resigned yesterday. Is your blood still cold today?

Does it have to be bled to cool down?

"Where did Mr. Wei come from?" Fang Zhuo saw that Wei Zhe was silent and said, "Mr. Ma didn't send this talent like you to me, did he? Is there a non-competition agreement?"

Wei Zhe's mood was not intense. When he heard this, he looked at Mr. Fang and said, "Actually, it's nothing else. I just feel that I don't see Mr. Fang and I feel ashamed of Mr. Fang's guidance."

He just wanted to come and see this external cause. He had already taken responsibility for the internal problem, but he just wanted to come and see Mr. Fang, who wrote inscriptions and posted on WeChat, otherwise he would not give in.

Wei Zhe is a little pessimistic about B2B's next plan to transform into group buying. He wants to meet the beneficiaries who want to see this situation most.

Fang Zhuo said in surprise: "Huh? Mr. Wei, you seem to be dissatisfied with the way the group handles this. Then you should go to Mr. Ma."

Wei Zhe said coldly: "I am very convinced, so I came to thank Mr. Fang for correcting my past work omissions."

"It turns out that I think my methods are too bad." Fang Zhuo pointed out directly, and then wondered, "Mr. Wei, you didn't communicate with me before you resigned, but now you come to visit me, so why doesn't Mr. Ma come to me?"

He spread his hands and said, "Hey, I'm a little confused. Aren't we competitors? Do I need to be responsible for your work or for Ali's development? I seem to be from Yike."

"You are Hua..." Wei Zhe was about to say something but swallowed it back. He wanted to say that Fang is always a representative figure of Huaxia business, not only because of Yike's identity, how could this be so, but these words seemed to be flattering Suspicion.

Just, how could you do this?

At the very least, how could you have the nerve to take back what you wrote?

Wei Zhe felt a gloomy feeling in his chest.

Before Fang Zhuo could answer, there was a knock on the door of the CEO's office.

Sun Tongyu, senior vice president of Mi Tuan, walked into the office.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wei Zhe and said with a smile: "Mr. Wei, are you here too?"

Wei Zhe stood up in shock and looked at the former Taobao president, ah, no, what do you mean I'm here too? You...you...why are you here? You, how can you collude with Mr. Fang...

No, you resigned, no, no, your wife is still in Alibaba, no, no, no, it’s a bit messy, it’s a bit messy...

Wei Zhe was stunned for a long time, and after thinking about it, the incident suddenly became clear. This was an organized, premeditated and planned attack!

If something goes wrong, if Mr. Sun goes out and shouts, the Zhonggong may be disintegrated immediately!
