Mi Tuan has had a lot of exchanges with Yike recently.
With Geng Deheng confirmed as the vice president of sales of Mi Tuan, Yike's exchanges have taken on an extra meaning. Many people are thinking about whether to bring their talents to Mi Tuan.
But this kind of thinking about whether to stay or not is positive. On the one hand, the position above Yike is now vacant, and you can stay. On the other hand, the external choice has great potential, and it was appointed by President Fang.
Project, you can go.
Taking advantage of another discussion with Mr. Qi He and Mr. Qi about Mi Tuan's measures to improve the user and merchant experience, Lei Jun asked him about Mr. Fang's time, thinking about consolidating their relationship.
"Mr. Fang has gone to Lin'an and may have to come back in a few days." Qi He replied.
Lei Jun was surprised. Last time, Mr. Fang said he was going to study Ali Tiejun, but now he turned around and went to Lin'an. His research wouldn't be face-to-face, right?
He suppressed his surprise and asked, "Why did Mr. Fang go to Lin'an?"
"I heard from Secretary Liu that he went to Lin'an to study." Qi He thought for a while and said, "Ice core has a factory in Lin'an, so I should go to study that. As you know, ice core is Mr. Fang's favorite."
Lei Jun: "Yeah..."
Mr. Qi may be right.
Qi He glanced at Mr. Lei's strange look, thinking that he was still thinking about his competitors, and smiled: "Mr. Lei, the opponents in front of me don't have to worry. At least, Dangtuan.com doesn't have to worry. When will Mr. Fang let me know?"
Take the Qingzi and circle around the headquarters of Dangtuanwang for a few times, and the enemy troops will collapse."
Lei Jun:
One company cannot produce people with two different styles of acting!
But I still want to defeat Dangtuan.com head-on, but if that doesn’t work, let Mr. Fang take the Qingzi to study it.
On the morning of April 8, the sky was clear and clear. Fang Zhuo, the head of Yike, accompanied by Wei Zhe, the president of Alibaba, visited this domestic giant with great interest.
It's a coincidence that when I arrived in Lin'an, I discovered that Ali was also here, so I decided to stop by and have a look.
Fang Zhuo travels around the world and has many friends. Lin'an is his hometown and is also within the ice core industry circle. He mentioned visiting Alibaba to the leader friend who received him, and they simply connected on the phone. The other party also welcomed Mr. Fang's visit.
So everyone was very excited.
Ma Ren was not in Lin'an, so Wei Zhe came forward here.
Fang Zhuo was still thinking about this CEO two days ago. When he saw him smiling today, he felt... very good.
Wei Zhe met Mr. Fang today, which coincidentally happened to be because he was also considering the most prestigious leader in the country regarding business matters, so he felt good about it.
When the two met, there was no tension between them as rivals, but rather a sense of harmony. Wei Zhe is the president of Alibaba, but he is not a traditional Alibaba person.
Before Wei Zhe joined Alibaba, he served as the president of B&Q China. He has a profound financial background and has worked in a securities company for 7 years. He is extremely elite and extremely young.
He was only 32 years old when he became the president of B&Q. He was only 36 years old when he joined Alibaba in 2006 to take charge of the B2B business. He is not the type of Alibaba values, but a more typical professional manager.
Being so young and with such a high status, plus Ma Chen did express his views on succession on some occasions, many people outside and within Alibaba have similar perceptions, and Wei Zhe is the future successor of the group.
However, such professional managers are not so consistent with the traditional Alibaba values. A very typical example is that Alibaba organized an internal criticism meeting in 2008, allowing Wei Zhe to self-criticize his strategies and tactics since joining the company. He explained the various mistakes he had made, and then the executives criticized Wei Zhe.
It is said that no one spoke at first. It was not until a cadre from the Central Government Department was named that the criticism from others swept over him like an autumn wind. No one spoke for Wei Zhe in the entire meeting.
Fang Zhuo believes that the information he obtained is very reliable.
Therefore, he was very curious about what happened to Wei Zhe after that. To say that he was suddenly seized of power in the name of values... seemed a bit distorted.
Because Fang Zhuo tried to substitute himself. From the perspective of power, it would be too easy for Ma Min to win over Wei Zhe. Just like Yi Ke, the Huaxia District is developing very well, but he wants to adjust Huaxia President Liu Qiangdong. The location does not require such means at all.
Even Yu Hong may have fluctuations, but they will all be under control. This is determined by the reputation of the founder of a company that is successful and still growing rapidly.
Fang Zhuo looked at the young Wei Zhe and considered how powerful Ali's values could be.
Wei Zhe looked at the young Mr. Fang and kept thinking about how to borrow the sharpest knife from Yike. Ali's B2B needs to transform!
This is a recent decision-making direction of Wei Zhe. The group's B2B business used to be a cash cow, supporting the development of Taobao and Alipay, but now its importance has declined, and there are also problems with business growth. It coincides with the hot group buying market. If we follow this trend Wave trend directly breaks into new business growth points... Alibaba hopes to continue to achieve high growth.
However, transformation requires everyone’s consent.
Although Wei Zhe is the president of Alibaba, there are eighteen Arhats above him with profound qualifications, there are sales elites below with outstanding records, and there is also a unique Chinese supply system in the middle. It is extremely difficult to vigorously promote transformation in this environment.
If the internal situation is difficult and complicated, can we use the pressure from external competitors?
Considering entering the group shopping market, currently industry-leading Tuanbao.com and Dangtuan.com are naturally in the spotlight, but what Alibaba pays the most attention to and analyzes is Miduan.com, which is backed by Yike.
Wei Zhe gave a very confident judgment at the internal meeting. Yike will definitely do the group buying in person!
Whether it is establishing a subsidiary or annexing Mi Tuan.com, this is what Yike will do next! This is the style of Yike and Mr. Fang!
However, despite his judgment, others still have differences of opinion. So...
Wei Zhe didn't expect that he thought about Mr. Fang day and night, and actually thought about Mr. Fang. In this case, it was just the right time to implement this person's idea.
"Mr. Fang, Yi Ke has had a conflict with Penguin recently." Wei Zhe introduced Alibaba's international business and took advantage of the end to guide the topic in a casual chat style.
"A little conflict." Fang Zhuohun said nonchalantly, "Oh yes, the court session is next week." A small lawsuit involving the recognition of the honor of each other's companies.
Wei Zhe couldn't put the "minor conflict" and "the court session next week" together for a while. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "Yike has been developing really well in the communications field recently. I have been using Yixin recently. It's true."
It’s very useful.”
Fang Zhuo became happy: "Really? Then I will ask the marketing people to change the advertising words later. Even the president of Alibaba is using the communication software."
Wei Zhe: ""
"Haha, I'm just kidding. If this were Mr. Ma, the joke would have been on again." Fang Zhuo teased, and then asked, "Are you Mr. Ma's successor?"
When Ali received Mr. Fang, not only Wei Zhe, but also senior officials from the Eighteen Arhats were beside him. Peng Lei's eyes suddenly became a little subtle.
Wei Zhe: ""
Again he didn't know what to respond.
"Ah, it's acquiescence. Do you have such a clear statement internally?" Fang Zhuo was curious.
"Ahem." Wei Zhe coughed. He couldn't go on like this. If he continued, he would seize power from Mr. Ma. "How can there be such a statement? It's just spread by the outside world."
He paused and asked a direct question: "Mr. Fang, the group buying market is so hot this year. Yike invested in Mi Tuan so early, but I think its performance is average. Yike doesn't consider doing this by itself."
?”
"I won't consider it, I won't consider it at all." Fang Zhuo shook his head and replied resolutely. His attitude was very firm.
Wei Zhe noticed the looks of several senior executives who were opposed to Alibaba's end of group buying, and asked: "Are you really not considering it? Or are you talking about using Mi Tuan?"
"I really don't think about it." Fang Zhuoji said honestly, "Yike's main business is still mobile phones and peripheral ecology. Group buying is actually a good market, but I think investment is enough. Blindly letting the company chase hot spots will only make everyone
I became lost, and I couldn’t bear it.”
Wei Zhe said in surprise: "Can't bear it?"
Is there anything in this world that Mr. Fang cannot bear to do?
"Yes, it is easy to open a business and increase the number of employees, but if the scale is large, you have to be responsible, which is not easy." Fang Zhuo said flatly, "Yike's current size and scale have continued to expand.
He continued: "Markets and employees in different countries and regions, multiple technology investment and R&D centers, and the deep linkage between hardware and software. These are already major propositions for Yike and I. I think it is better to solve this problem."
It's important, and it's really difficult, so it's good to have Mi Tuan.com to do it."
Wei Zhe's heart sank. The knife in his hand was broken and he had to throw it away.
He saw the changes in the expressions of several colleagues, and he must have believed Mr. Fang's words to some extent!
"What? You Ali want to compete with our Yike in the group buying market?" Fang Zhuo suddenly asked again with a smile.
Wei Zhe expresses his attitude by pondering.
But he didn't speak and the other executives accompanying him didn't even speak.
When Fang Zhuo saw that they were not expressing their opinions, he shrugged: "What's the point of competing in this kind of market? Your Alibaba has fallen behind in more important areas. Look at what you Alibaba has on the mobile side. It's not worth worrying about anymore."
Peng Lei's face hardened, it didn't sound right, it was the truth. What does Alibaba have on mobile?
Where is the entrance?
Alipay was already being vigorously pursued by Yipay, and the other party even made a convincing entrance to Yixin. Wei Zhe took a slow breath, and the knife suddenly jumped back into his hand.
