On July 3, Ma Yun, the founder and head of Alibaba, was in Hangzhou. He had decided to retire at this year’s Alibaba annual meeting and hand over the power of Alibaba Group to CFO Zhang Yong, nicknamed Xiaoyaozi.
In the afternoon, the summer afternoon heat is scorching the earth. But it is cool and refreshing in the Chinese-style pavilion beside the West Lake. The lake is shaded by green water and cool breeze blows, making it interesting.
The "Jiangnan Club" located by the West Lake is famous. Many domestic businessmen and private owners want to enter but cannot.
Nowadays, business, platform, and circle are far more important than ideas. Therefore, the innovation workshop founded by Kai-fu Lee, the technology giant who resigned from Google, and was publicly criticized by Jing Gaoban, has not even hatched a single hair.
Alibaba and Tencent are the platforms and circles for today’s startup companies! Of course, in today’s Internet and business world, Phoenix Group has to occupy a place. Phoenix Fund is very brutal in the field of venture capital!
Its illustrious reputation is similar to that of Tencent's hooliganism. If a certain company under investigation does not accept investment from the Phoenix Fund, there is a high probability that the Phoenix Group will create a similar company. For example: Weibo does news, benchmarks against Toutiao, and Orange Takeaway.
Standardizing on Meituan, Xiaoyuan Bicycle benchmarking against Mobike, OFO…
Tencent just copied the product, Phoenix directly copied the company!
So fucking fucked.
Ma Yunzheng drank Longjing tea with Yu Feng, chairman of Yunfeng Fund, Li Ying, general manager, and Cai Congxin, his right-hand man who has resigned from Alibaba.
West Lake Longjing! They complement each other.
"You've got half a day to spare!" Ma Yun smiled and drank tea with a face familiar to people all over the country. "Two days ago, I was still worried about my child's work. As a result, someone called me yesterday.
The phone call said: Jing Gao has returned to China. Hey, this means that I should be careful, what should I be careful about?"
A sandalwood coffee table was placed in front of several people. On the coffee table was a set of exquisite and expensive tea sets.
Yu Feng picked up the small porcelain tea cup, took a sip of the fragrant Longjing tea, and persuaded him: "Old Ma, you still have to pay attention. He is making quite a fuss in Europe!"
This "he" naturally refers to Jing Gao.
At the age of 38, the married Li Ying had a delicate appearance and an intellectual appearance. She held a small and exquisite tea cup to her nose and sniffed it. The fragrance was overflowing, and she listened to the men chatting. She had gone to see the well with Ma Yun when she was on the Internet in Wuzhen.
Gao, I have a preliminary impression of Jinggao.
What should I say about Jing Gao? At that time, she had a very strong attitude and refused to give in, but in her opinion, this was more of an emotional product. And Jing Gao did not know how to compromise and cooperate, so he was bound to fail in the mall.
Not far!
However, Jing Gao, the development of Phoenix Group has exceeded her opinion time and time again. In the past year and more, how many major things has Phoenix Group accomplished? How many crises have it overcome?
Control is meager, Sina; Uber went public, but the stock price did not fall; holds equity in the board of directors of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and has a convenient listing channel; stepped on the richest man in China, Li Jiacheng, and did not fall behind in the competition; continued mergers and acquisitions in the entertainment industry,
It became the largest company in China Entertainment and controlled the theater chain; it escaped the above investigation and was eventually banned from entering the financial industry...
Now, the Zhaoshi Group has been rescued in France. Nowadays, the evaluation of Jing Gao in the world, whether positive or negative, can be attributed to his powerful role.
And this time when Jing Gao came back from making trouble in France, a Chinese businessman even gave him the title of "tycoon". To be honest, Alibaba executives may not be treated like this when they go to France. The old moneymen in Europe are very
Proud.
Although she, a business elite, has been repeatedly "slapped" by facts, how long has it been since these things happened? Just over a year! She still believes that Jing Gao will still have big problems in the future. This is her vision and pattern.
What is determined by knowledge is not transferred by personal will. After so many years of reform, many bosses have prospered and died suddenly!
Of course, we should despise it strategically, but we should pay attention to it tactically.
After listening to the three people chatting for a while, Li Ying said slowly: "I think, Teacher Ma, you should pay more attention to it, make preparations, and be more conservative in your financial reserves.
Jing Gao is famous for his ability to retaliate against evil! He is a person who will never suffer a loss, and he is very resilient! It is said in the world that he has a gloomy and treacherous mind.
However, the center of the world is in the United States after all, and no matter how big the commotion he makes in Europe, I think it is just that."
Ma Yun chatted privately with a few friends. They all expressed their opinions and were in a very relaxed state.
Yu Feng smiled and said: "Li Ying, that's not what you said. Now the country needs to win over Europe to fight against the suppression of the United States. His role has been highlighted by making such a big noise."
Ma Yun laughed, walked to the railing on the second floor, and said in his unique ups and downs tone: "So, there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days! Jing Gao is young and has never experienced the turbulent era of Kaikai.
.
No profitable business stays the same.
From my judgment, business in the travel field will become increasingly difficult to do, and profits will become lower and lower. Our e-commerce business, including ours at Alibaba, will now be converted into new retail.
So, I think, Jing Gao, his Phoenix Group is now very weak as a whole. The virtual fire is rising! It is puffy and fat.
Do the math, how many of his current businesses are profitable? He is investing heavily in chips and mobile phones. He is investing heavily in the construction of Shanghai Magic City, Jinling, and Guancheng. However, I also heard that his chip foundry is in
Production capacity is formed at the 28nm level. SMIC’s profits are slim, can it make money?
Does his Coolpad mobile phone have a shipment volume of 10 million units in the first quarter in China? Maybe it is worse than Gree. A miscellaneous army! I heard from Zhou Mingyang that even the billboards of Coolpad mobile phones in Mumbai, India, were blocked by Oppo.
Vivo has been completely overrun.
The most profitable business under his name, the one I am most optimistic about is Bank of East Asia. Haha, Bank of East Asia lost its banking license in the Mainland, and now its market value on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has dropped from the highest of HK$80 billion to more than HK$20 billion.
?
As for Phoenix Pay, it ranks third. Our Alipay has not yet been launched, so who does it count?"
Cai Congxin and Ma Yun have been working together for many years and said with a smile: "So, Jack, what is your conclusion?"
Ma Yun said bluntly: "Lao Cai, Jing Gao has provoked a lot of people in recent years. Many people have used different methods to target him. For example, Zhao Canglong has cleaned up his background and attacked him in public opinion as a white man with foreign capital.
Gloves, causing the higher-ups to question him.
For example: Lao Zhou has written articles on production safety. Both Lao Zhou and I have reported some of his problems to the above. He is too involved in some things. The woman who is in charge of Chenxi Bank under him,
what do you say that is?"
Li Ying smiled and added: "Her name is Wei Chenjun. I have met her before. She has worked on Wall Street. She is an ace broker in Hong Kong. She is a gorgeous beauty!"
"Haha!" Everyone present laughed. Jing Gao is known to the world for his lustful behavior. Young people love to play.
Ma Yun finished laughing and continued: "In the end, it was settled. At present, it seems that all kinds of methods have little effect! He has been tested for a long time. And with his current development, his foundation is becoming more and more stable.
But in my opinion, his fatal danger is slowly coming. This is the current business trend! I think his judgment is problematic. A business that is still profitable now may not be profitable in a few years.
This is the point I want to make! Don’t take him seriously, do our own thing well and look to the future.
Moreover, I don’t know why he gave up the market in English-speaking countries. This is extremely unwise! The United States is still the world’s largest consumer market. Does he think he is Huawei? He is afraid that others will stare at him!”
As a high-tech company, Huawei is being sanctioned by Bald Eagle. However, the Phoenix Group is at most an Internet company, an entertainment company, and a clothing company, and it has nothing to do with high-tech!
"Ha ha!"
At this time, Ma Yun's personal cell phone suddenly rang. Ma Yun looked at the number and answered it with a smile, "Mr. Tan, good afternoon."
On the other end of the phone was Tan Qin, a well-known figure in the Shanghai business community with a wide network of contacts. He smiled and said: "Mr. Ma, hello, hello. Are you still busy now?"
Ma Yun said: "I'm chatting with a few friends. What's the matter?"
Tan Qin sighed and said, "Mr. Ma, I don't even know how to speak. It's like this. Jing Gao came back from France, and he asked me to convey a few words to you. Alas..."
Ma Yun waved her hand grandly and said with a smile: "Mr. Tan, the grudge between me and him has nothing to do with you. What does he have to say to me?"
Tan Qin relayed: "What Jing Gao means is that he hopes Ali will withdraw from the meager amount."
Jing Gao's original words were not so gentle. His original words were: Lao Tan, please give me a message to Jack Ma. Since we have publicly fallen out, don't stay shamelessly in the meager position and clear out that bit of equity.
.For such a big boss, don’t be a bitch and still build a memorial arch. It’s a shame to be a human being!
Ma Yun chuckled and said: "Mr. Tan, I can answer you now. Everything will be in accordance with the law."
After hanging up the phone, Ma Yun's face quickly darkened. He had just told his friends not to worry about Jing Gao! Then came a slap in the face: Jing Gao's revenge came immediately. Moreover, it hurt him and was very troublesome.
It is not a question of whether to withdraw the shares or not. He fully understands what Jing Gao wants to convey. Meager, the only public opinion field in the country, will no longer follow the tacit agreement to "protect" Alibaba. To put it more bluntly, Alibaba should never think about it again.
Control comments on Weibo and delete posts!
It's not easy to use money or shares. This is going to end in death.
Some of Ali's things will be put on the Internet for magnified scrutiny. This makes him very unhappy!
For example, if someone posts that Ma Yun’s son is named so-and-so, where he studies, works, and what experiences he has, it may be spread all over the Internet the next day. Of course, some people will read this kind of curious news. Don’t delete the post.
Think about it.
Of course, Jing Gao usually does not target other people's families or private lives. This would be a taboo. But does he have to place his hopes on his opponent's character? Moreover, he publicly criticized Jing Gao in front of the media.
Can't you punish him?
In any case, Alibaba as a company, people and things will definitely be put under the magnifying glass!
Cai Congxin, Yu Feng, and Li Ying were all silent. Finally, Cai Congxin, as Ma Yun's old subordinate, spoke up, "Jack, let's face any embarrassing things together."
Ma Yun said with a dark face: "Jing Gao wants us to return our meager shares. We must be more compliant in the future."
Cai Congxin and the other two fell silent immediately. They are all business elites, and they understood Jing Gao's subtext as soon as they heard it.
Jing Gao's revenge has come.
Jiangnanhui, by the West Lake, the summer breeze is blowing slowly, making people suddenly feel a little cold.
