Reinventing the Millennium

Two senior executives of a listed company in Xiangjiang resigned. This news immediately impacted the stock price after being confirmed by the official announcement.

However, Alibaba, one of the giants, has only listed its B2B business, and its increasingly dazzling C2C business seems to be unaffected. This has largely kept the group internally calm. Only the China Supply Team is increasingly feeling the disconnect.

Lu Zhaoxi, who also serves as the president of B2B, whose nickname is "Temujin", has always had a rigid style, and is used to talking less and doing more. At this time, he was sent by Ma to put out the fire. What naturally continued was the boss's will, and he was determined to use it. China provides this group to warn the entire group.

At least three vice presidents, dozens of senior directors, directors, managers, and implicated lower-level supervisors have all been judged for management negligence and failure to adhere to values. They will still be subject to various punitive measures even after the two bosses resigned.

The severity of this kind of treatment is unique in the history of Chinese Internet companies.

There is widespread discussion among the outside world that Wei Zhe, the B2B leader, has been taken down, while the industry is quite surprised by the subsequent series of measures.

This is really a punishment from head to toe!

A special topic was opened on Zhihu, and soon many anonymous users answered the question. The tone seemed to be that of an insider, and some people swore that they were suspected of seeing Wei Zhe at Hang Lung Tower in Shanghai.

Wei Zhe is from Shanghai, but this Hang Lung Tower is too directional.

However, this answer didn't attract much attention. Everyone just passed it by. Doesn't it imply that Wei Zhe went to Yike? How could it be possible? You have to be logical when making things up, okay?

Within Yike, in addition to private discussions, due to the recent frequent meetings to prepare for new machines, executives often engage in very upright gossip after the meetings.

What happened to Ali is so rare!

It’s almost as rare as the last time a certain CEO was fired without being informed by the executive’s wife!

Oh, the one from last time also belonged to Ali, right?

Therefore, its value system is both unique and... really a very rare existence.

At this time, when everyone was discussing with great interest, Qi He, the head of YMS, suddenly reacted and conducted self-examination. He had previously proposed to try the value quantification method at the meeting, but was criticized in person by Mr. Fang.

Later, Mr. Fang’s circle of friends fell apart, and he thought it was a drama.

Looking at Mr. Fang now, this is indeed a drama, and it is also trying to catch a horse!

When Mr. Fang overturns, the whole B2B department also overturns...Sun Tongyu appears, and Wei Zhe comes to visit. Will the next step be to discuss swordsmanship with Ma Min?

Qi He deeply felt that his cultivation was not up to the mark, so he decided to punish himself by going to the Compliance Department to copy "Six Meridians Divine Sword, Well-deserved" a hundred times, in order to carefully understand the BOSS's state of mind when he wrote this in the enemy camp.

A group of senior executives not only discussed it among themselves, but also boldly asked Mr. Fang about this matter when he attended the meeting.

"Mr. Fang, there is a question on Zhihu. If you were Mr. Ma, how would you handle the B2B blacklist incident? What do you think is best?" Liu Qiangdong was also very interested in this matter. As Yi Ke One of the consultants who contacted Mi Tuan increasingly felt that this market had huge potential, and gradually began to understand the advantages and disadvantages of the market.

"If I were him..." Fang Zhuo pondered and hesitated, "In his position and in his political affairs, everyone and the company are the products of the present shaped by past experiences. Sometimes, I feel that I have to be ruthless in doing things. Take our company as an example.”

"If your new phone, Liu Qiangdong, doesn't go well next month, I may have to tear you up and remove you."

"If you, Qi He, are not good at the YMS cooperation business in the second half of the year, for example, if the market share of Sogou you invest in does not rise up to the target, I may have to shed tears and replace you."

"If Zhong Lixin, your compliance department, is exposed to collusion between internal and external parties, I might not just shed tears and replace him."

Fang Zhuoyue said that the more tears he shed, the smoother he would speak.

While he was drinking tea, supply chain Li Songqing, who had not yet been named, quickly reported the report: "Mr. Fang, I remembered that there was a change in the domestic supply chain in the second quarter of this year that I forgot to mention."

"Oh?" Fang Zhuo put down the teacup and nodded, "Then you say it."

The high-level gossip trend has stopped.

However, after Xiong Xiaoge, who successfully completed the reverse takeover of IDG in the United States, landed in Shanghai, he went straight to Hang Lung 23 with a feeling of... tasting.

Xiong Xiaoge was very excited about the acquisition of IDG. During this period, he was busy communicating with his old club and planning for future investments. I occasionally saw Mr. Fang’s small value class in his circle of friends.

But I didn't expect that in a short period of time, with Mr. Fang's sudden stop, the situation on the other side suddenly changed.

There is no one who can get a clearer perception than Xiong Xiaoge from a distance.

Why did he suddenly visit Lin'an and give a lecture on values?

The weasel pays New Year greetings to the chicken.

Why are the rivals of domestic giants shaking up and down?

Provoke conflicts and explode the situation.

Xiong Xiaoge relied on his understanding of the other party and the clear perspective of bystanders to identify the mastermind behind the scenes, and also thought of the martial arts culture within Ali...

"Your Xuxu sword is really like the invisible sword in Huanzhu Louzhu's "Swordsman of Shushan"." Xiong Xiaoge maintained respect for the financial owner in front of Fang Zhuo and did not mention any weasel words.

Fang Zhuo waved his hand.

"It started from the perspective of values. In the past, there was a chef who solved the problem of cattle, but today there is a chef who understands the problem. When it comes to means, Mr. Fang doesn't think twice." Xiong Xiaoge enthusiastically praised.

Fang Zhuo shook his head.

"If the group buying market succeeds this time, I think it will be all thanks to Mr. Fang!" Xiong Xiaoge boasted.

Fang Zhuo looked at the dusty Mr. Xiong and reminded: "Relationships are relationships, and you have to pay back the money when you say you borrow it."

Xiong Xiaoge was a little annoyed: "I didn't mention money."

He bought IDG and borrowed a little money.

"I'll tell you first, so you don't misunderstand." Fang Zhuo said.

"What misunderstanding? Didn't I misunderstand that you are eloquent, your heart is as hard as iron, and your hands are as black as ink?" Xiong Xiaoge asked back.

Fang Zhuo looked at the IDG Group's new talker and said, "Old Xiong, that's not necessary."

Xiong Xiaoge stood up suddenly: "Oh, yes, wait a minute, I'll go out for a while."

Fang Zhuo: "?"

"I'm going to the Compliance Department to see your masterpiece." Xiong Xiaoge said with great interest.

"Okay, okay, that's almost it." Fang Zhuo was a little helpless, "You're not busy enough, right?"

Xiong Xiaoge didn't have to see it with his own eyes. He sat down again and said, "I was filled with admiration. I originally wanted to go back to the capital directly, but I decided to come to Shanghai for a visit."

"Since you're back, I just have something to do." Fang Zhuo said, "There is a new investor here in Shanghai, Mr. Wei Zhe. You, China's number one investor, can help with the matchmaking."

Xiong Xiaoge turned his head and found that Mr. Fang was still poking in with the knife.

He sat upright and said, "Well, Wei Zhe just came out of Ali. If I don't get it clear with you, my reputation will be damaged."

"It's not that I'm not clear about it, but what does it have to do with you, China's number one investor, to take care of him? What does it have to do with Yike? At most, it has something to do with Mi Tuan." Fang Zhuo said, "It just so happens that Mi Tuan's new round of financing will be more complicated and involve more interests. As long as your reputation is there, there will be people to support the matter."

Xiong Xiaoge thought this was okay, so he led Mr. Wei on the road.

He sighed: "I vaguely remember when I first met President Wei. He was very charming. I think he is also very resilient."

"Indeed." Fang Zhuo acknowledged this, "However, after thinking about it in the past two days, resilience is indeed a rare quality, but the people I have met in the past few years are all very resilient, and Qingzi's Dang Tuan Net is quite good."

Xiong Xiaoge thought about the industry observations given by the team, and said slowly: "Mr. Li's website is a bit too big, and I think the Penguin behind him also has the idea of ​​​​building a platform."

"It's okay, there is a foreign enemy like me." Fang Zhuo said with a smile.

Xiong Xiaoge glanced at Mr. Fang and estimated that this factor was indeed a big factor. He considered: "Then this time we will defeat them head-on. Yike's team is very strong. If we absorb more people from Alibaba, well, it will be over soon." You can see results.”

According to IDG's research, city teams are crucial in such a new field of group buying.

Come to think of it, this is also the reason why Mr. Fang started.

Alibaba’s team has always been famous.

Thinking of this, Xiong Xiaoge couldn't help but said, "You are so dark."

Fang Zhuo calmly repeated what he had said: "I have been very restrained."

Before Xiong Xiaoge could comment, he saw secretary Liu Zonghong knocking on the door and coming in, announcing that Mr. Sun from Mi Tuan was here.

When Sun Tongyu walked into the CEO's office, Xiong Xiaoge, who was still wondering which Mr. Sun was, couldn't help but stand up.

"Ah, Mr. Sun." Xiong Xiaoge stood up and shook hands in surprise. This was an acquaintance whom he had met on many occasions.

"Hey, Mr. Xiong." Sun Tongyu shook hands and said with a smile, "Long time no see."

Xiong Xiaoge looked at Sun Tongyu, who looked calm, and then turned to look at Mr. Fang. Mr. Fang did tell the truth sometimes, and he might be restrained.

…

Alibaba B2B's internal punishment is carried out in an orderly manner.

There is a blacklist to search for people according to the map, there is a system for understanding from top to bottom, there are high-level resignations to blame, and even if there are thorns in the side who refuse to sign, someone will come forward to take care of it.

Zhang Weihua, the political commissar, was unable to deal with Qi Yaoliang, the second-year manager at Shenzhen University. He asked his colleague Fang Yongxin to persuade him, and also brought along HR personnel transferred from Taobao. However, this dismissal conversation, which was mixed with crying, negotiation and a lot of silence, still failed to achieve its goal.

In the end, it was "Temujin" Lu Zhaoxi who personally took action, surrendered the thorny head, and fired the manager of the Shenzhen Second District.

No one knows how this conversation went.

However, Temujin was also born in Zhonggong, and he was in charge of Guangdong Province before.

This successful dismissal conversation led many people to believe that when Manager Shen Er saw Temujin coming forward, he immediately killed him.

This makes the already solemn atmosphere filled with tragedy.

Regardless of Zhang Weihua or Fang Yongxin, they are both very capable people. They understand the group's considerations and are familiar with the conversation skills. However, facing colleagues like Manager Shen Er, the biggest problem is that they cannot pass the test in their hearts.

In addition to the thorns in the Second District, people who have been transferred to other departments are also implicated.

For example, Wang Yongsen, who was already working at Koubei.com, the day before he received the notice of demotion, Deng Kangming, Dai Shan and other leaders had already completed the promotion interview from M3 to M4, and the next day, he received the notice of cancellation of promotion. Notice, very dramatic.

Wang Yongsen had served as the political commissar of Guangdong Province for a year. He was extremely shocked to be held accountable this time.

The internal actions within B2B lasted for a week, and the morale of the upper and lower teams was very low.

When Yang Zijiang, the regional general manager, was also confirmed to be dismissed, the political commissars and regional general managers such as Zheng Lu and Zhang Weihua from the Central Government gathered together sadly and discussed the blacklist incident while drinking.

The more I drink, the more depressed I become, and the more I drink, the more emotions I feel in my heart.

Liu Zicheng was relatively silent, always listening to other people's complaints and anger.

He drank one glass after another, and suddenly when Zhang Weihua was pouring himself another drink, he slapped the glass on the table: "It's boring, isn't it just forcing people to leave? The worst case scenario is to leave, let's all leave together!"

When the political commissar Zheng Lu heard this, she said drunkenly: "We have come to this point. The list is all finished. Besides, what are we going to do outside?"

Liu Zicheng's face turned red: "I heard that Sun Tongyu is outside, so go find him!"

The voices of anger and complaints suddenly fell silent.

"God of Wealth" Sun Tongyu?

Seriously?

Zhang Weihua was mostly awake and turned to look at Liu Zicheng: "He's looking for you? What is he doing outside?"

Zheng Lu's drunkenness also faded a lot, and she said in a deep voice: "He really went to Yike? Did he call you?"

Zhang Weihua's reaction was slow for a beat, and then he was shocked to find out what he heard, the God of Wealth and Yike? This...you all know a lot, what happened...

"He didn't call me. He just heard the news that he was doing group buying. I went to find him. How could he not bring me along?" Liu Zicheng stood up and sneered, "Why bother here!"

Zhang Weihua digested the content of the news. Being angry, unwilling and complaining is one thing, but really leaving is another matter that needs to be considered.

He unconsciously picked up the wine glass and suddenly found that many people were drinking and thinking like him.

"The God of Wealth has not had much faith in the past two years." Zheng Lu frowned and advised, "Don't be impulsive."

Liu Zicheng took the wine bottle from Zhang Weihua's hand, blew half of the bottle, and said: "You should cry slowly, I won't serve you anymore!"

He just left.

Zhang Weihua couldn't tell what he felt when he saw Liu Zicheng's figure disappearing.

Walk? go outside?

this……

He had had this thought in his mind, but never really thought about it.

I still have stock options in hand.

Zhang Weihua drank a glass of wine silently and found that the angry voices just now had subsided and turned into vague whispers.

…

Sun Tongyu, the God of Wealth.

Former No. 003, former Taobao talker.

His news was like a pebble thrown into a lake, causing many ripples.

As Liu Zicheng expressed his private indignation, this matter soon reached Ma Min's ears.

He was originally listening to Lu Zhaoxi's B2B handling report when he suddenly received a call and heard new news. He immediately interrupted Lu Zhaoxi and asked, "Do you know about Sun Tongyu's situation?"

Lu Zhaoxi was a little confused. It seemed like he should ask his wife Lucy?

Ma Ren was not angry because the gift letter was taken away, nor was he angry because of the fuse in the circle of friends, but now he was angry in his heart.

"Go and find out the situation." He said to Lu Zhaoxi, "I'll make a call first."

Lu Zhaoxi stood up and left with a solemn expression. The internal situation had just stabilized, but it seemed that there were new changes externally.
