After all, the scenery of West Lake...in mid-April is quite refreshing.
Fang Zhuo met Wei Zhe, looked at Tie Jun, and had some exchanges with Ma Ren. He probably had a feeling that it was very possible to solve the competitive situation by detonating internal problems.
If it is an internal struggle for power, then we don’t know who is who, who is in what position, and what they are thinking at this moment, not to mention the variables that exist in Yike. But to deconstruct the internal operation from the perspective of the value system promoted by Ma Ren,
Just like stamping Ali's documents with Ali's official seal, everything goes as planned.
Of course, to take a step back, it doesn't matter if it doesn't succeed. Then the iron army will end, and everyone will have a good fight and burn it out.
Fang Zhuo has already asked people to conduct some investigations in the south to see if they can dig out more specific problems with Chinese suppliers.
This supplier issue is actually not complicated, and the context is very clear. After the news that Alibaba may enter the group buying came out, relevant information was placed in the office.
What is slightly more secretive is Alibaba’s internal processing. A typical external problem comes from Putian.
In 2007, the British Buyers Association purchased a batch of fake products from Alibaba's Putian suppliers. More than 30 buyers approached the above business people and rushed to Lin'an together, which directly alarmed Ma.
Wei Zhe's solution to this problem is that since a large proportion of the problems originate from Putian, all supplier products from Putian will be removed from the shelves, and all suppliers with ID cards from Putian will be prohibited from entering the membership system.
This incident directly caused Jiang Fang, one of the Eighteen Arhats, Lu Guangyu, Vice President of China Supply Department, Yang Zijiang, Regional Manager, and Li Liheng, Regional Manager of Fuzhou, to be surrounded by Putian suppliers in the hotel.
In the end, it was Li Liheng and others who spent their own money to settle the matter.
However, there are huge benefits to entering Alibaba's sales system through products such as Global Treasure, Chengxintong, and Exit Pass. Wei Zhe can ban Putian ID cards, but he cannot ban ID cards from other regions.
Putian suppliers were broken into parts and dispersed to other regions in the country, and continued to enter Alibaba's sales system to pursue profits.
The information Fang Zhuo has now obtained is that Alibaba B2B has a blacklist mechanism for suppliers. And judging from the channels of contact, some people claim that the blacklist can be bypassed.
As for how to get around this·
Although Fang Zhuo hasn't received the details yet, he can guess that it will be a gray baby.
Wherever there is profit, there is Jianghu, and sales people are sometimes a bit unscrupulous. In addition, the "Operation Storm" launched in 2008 has various high indicators, and internal and external problems are to be expected.
This goes back to the original point of how to deal with problems to demonstrate the difference in values.
Also, whether this is a big problem, a small problem, or a medium-sized problem that can be large or small, I am afraid it will also be different from the perspective of different values.
Fang Zhuo thought it was quite interesting to analyze this matter. On April 11, the temperature near the West Lake was suitable and the scenery was very beautiful.
Daishan Mountain is looming in the distance, boats are paddling leisurely on the lake, birds in the sky are reflected in the water, and lofts around the lake are dotted around it.
After inspecting Lin'an No. 2 Ice Core Factory, Fang Zhuo and his party drove to Maojiabu, a place with few tourists, ready to see the sunset lake view today.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Zhuowai was reading information about Putian on the recliner, while others set up the barbecue grill and prepared ingredients.
"Mr. Fang, Mr. Ma called and invited you to dinner tonight." Secretary Liu Zonghongxin immediately reported the invitation after answering the phone. "It's inconvenient for me." Fang Zhuo answered casually.
Before Liu Zonghong could speak, the volume on the phone suddenly doubled - "Hey, hey, Fang Zhuo, I heard your voice. You don't even want to betray anyone, so you're just being perfunctory, right?"
Fang Zhuo glanced at the secretary.
Liu Zonghong was a little embarrassed. He didn't cover his phone just now, mainly because he didn't expect his boss to be very interested in Ali before. Why did he seem to have lost interest in the blink of an eye?
I thought that after Mr. Ma called me, Mr. Fang happily went to the appointment!
Fang Zhuo was not disturbed by Mr. Ma's loud voice and remained calm: "Say that I sincerely invite him to come to Maojiabu for barbecue, and forget it if he doesn't come.
Ma's voice on the phone trembled: "Can I be more perfunctory?!"
Fang Zhuo sighed and put down the information, gestured to hand over the phone, and then said enthusiastically: "Mr. Ma, come to Maojiabu quickly. Let's enjoy the sunset over the West Lake, talk with each other, and eat two skewers of chicken wings that we grilled ourselves. How about that?"
Isn’t it good?”
Ma Ren agreed: "Okay."
Fang Zhuo handed back the phone and wondered: "What is he looking for me for?"
Liu Zonghong was speechless for a moment. We just went to visit someone else's house. Yesterday, Mr. Ma invited you to drink. Why are you so magnanimous?
After a moment, he reminded carefully: "Mr. Fang, do you want to put this Putian information away before Mr. Ma comes?"
"It's okay to accept it. In fact, this is not an external problem, but an internal problem." Fang Zhuo didn't pay much attention.
Liu Zonghong followed his boss this time, which was a bit unclear. Mr. Fang had been paying attention to the group buying market before, but these days he suddenly became very interested in Alibaba's corporate culture... Can this really help the former's competition?
He was silent for a few seconds and asked: "Mr. Fang, can such internal problems stop Ali's actions?"
"Different people have different perspectives, just like..." Fang Zhuo handed the materials to his secretary, thought for a while, and took Liu Zonghong as an example, "To give you a simple example that is not appropriate, it is like you are late today.
Five minutes, it's not a big deal, people are bound to have things happen, but your boss is a paranoid, so he thinks that not being late is a principle that must be followed, and transferred you to another position.
Liu Zonghong thought carefully and realized that he was not late today...
"Values are not only Ali's paranoia, well, I can't say paranoia, but its principles. This is something that is truly quantified and used for internal assessment, and is linked to reality." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "Let's talk about comparison.
Virtuality, Ali Tan is a combination of virtuality and reality.”
Liu Zonghong nodded silently, just wanting to see what kind of reaction it would arouse.
He probably knew what his boss was thinking, but he still felt that a powerful president like Wei Zhe and the related team would not cause big problems all of a sudden.
However, I can also understand Mr. Fang’s thinking during this period. If I could give an example myself...
Just like Ma always sits in the palace, and the guards always guard the safety of the palace. In Mr. Ma's opinion, this is a case of collusion between the palace guards inside and outside. No matter what the specifics of this team are, as long as there are signs of it,
It's time to completely extinguish it, so just pull it out and switch to defense.
Liu Zonghong felt that this kind of nature was more appropriate than always taking himself as an example. The lake was long and the sun was setting.
When the lake turned golden, Ma Chen and the Arhats arrived at Maojiabu.
Fang Zhuo stood up to welcome him, and after a few words of greeting he asked, "Huh? Mr. Wei is not here?"
Ma Chen found Mr. Fang’s attitude towards Mr. Wei very interesting. The latter was targeting Yike and was currently having a meeting in the company to discuss Alibaba’s B2B and group buying.
He smiled and said, "He is busy right now. You and he had a great time chatting."
"President Wei is very good. I think he is one of the best CEOs in the country." Fang Zhuo said seriously. Ma Chen was a little surprised. His brother is indeed outstanding, but who is President Fang?
People like Mr. Fang who have worked hard all the way to this point will never give high praise easily. Ma Chen himself once gave Wei Zhe a score of 75 points.
He joked in response: "Now I'm worried that you want to poach my CEO."
"How can I dig someone like him?" Fang Zhuo shook his head and emphasized his attitude, "I really think so. Mr. Wei perfectly combines professional managers with Ali's values. This is not easy."
The few Arhats at the back exchanged glances inadvertently.
The corner of Ma Chen's mouth curled up, but he said from the bottom of his heart: "He still has room for improvement." Then he added half a sentence: "I hope you will remove "one" from your evaluation next time."
This becomes "the best CEO", rather than the perfect combination of professional managers and values.
"Come on, come on, just watch. Find a seat by yourselves." Fang Zhuo motioned for Ma to sit next to him, and then directed everyone to sit down. "Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing. Whether you are full today or not is all up to you."
When the two groups of people merged in an orderly manner by the West Lake, Fang Zhuocai said to Ma Ren, who was already drinking Yuqian Longjing: "You came to me today just for barbecue?"
"I saw that you were so free, so I planned to ask you to give us a lecture." Ma Ren replied, "There will be an event for Zhejiang businessmen next month, and we will be short of an important guest."
Fang Zhuo waved his hand: "It's not interesting, I won't go."
"You are so enthusiastic about your research mission and values, but you don't have any desire to share?" Ma Chen said with a smile.
"I want to check and fill in the gaps for Yike." Fang Zhuo said seriously, "To be honest, something happened to Vice President Chen Weixiang of Yike. This still has shock and aftermath within our company, so I also learned from it.
Look at you Ali."
Ma Chen's doubts were somewhat solved. Chen Weixiang was indeed a powerful figure in Yike. His capture was like... just like something happened to Wei Zhe, which is worthy of reflection.
He took a sip of tea and asked: "I heard that because of this Chen Weixiang, you promoted the compliance department?" Fang Zhuo was surprised: "You know this?"
"I heard about it." Ma Chen smiled slightly, "I also heard that he was originally going to join the board of directors of Yike.
"Hey, so it's spread throughout the industry?" Fang Zhuo shook his head, "How can I say it shocked me a lot? Yike has a large proportion of international business, and our supply chain is an extremely important part. It just so happens
Alibaba also does B2B internationally, so I just want to see how you do it."
Ma Chen felt Mr. Fang’s sincerity.
Indeed, Chen Weixiang became the director of Yike in just one step. This status is not a low one, and the authority to control the supply chain is not a small one.
He thought for a while and said: "Then what can you see if you just take a quick look? Come back tomorrow and let Peng Lei and Jiang Fang tell you."
Peng Lei's flower name is Lin Daiyu, and Jiang Fang's flower name is Jiang Fang.
The former has been responsible for human resources for a long time. One of her main tasks is to build Alibaba's organization and culture and promote the construction of the group's values. The outside world calls her a "heart attacker".
The latter is now in charge of Alibaba's anti-corruption department. She is one of the staunchest adherents and practitioners of Alibaba's culture and values, and is also recognized as an iron lady.
Ma Yunti and these two arhats still take the right medicine.
Fang Zhuo clicked on his cell phone: "I've added Yixin as a friend. I can ask for advice whenever I have time. I won't go there tomorrow." Ma Chen nodded, but there was no need to be formal.
He drank a cup of tea, admired the beautiful scenery for a while, and suddenly started talking about a sensitive topic: "Mr. Fang, you did a good job communicating this time. Yi Ke suddenly entered the communication software from his mobile phone, and he still stood firm.
Already."
Fang Zhuo heard Xian Ge and knew the meaning: "What? Ali wants to do it too? You don't need to notify me, just do it."
Ma Danjianfang did not exclude the idea of talking about this, and became very straightforward: "It's not easy. You two have invested so much in instant messaging, and it will be difficult for us to make another one to be competitive.
"Yeah, then don't do it." Fang Zhuo said more simply. Ma Ren was choked.
He took a sip of tea before speaking again: "But this mobility won't work if we don't do it." Fang Zhuo sighed: "Who says it's not the case, but Pony just doesn't understand me." Ma Yan laughed out loud.
Fang Zhuo didn't understand why he was laughing: "The mobile Internet is a new innovation. Last time I came to your company, I said that Alibaba didn't worry about this. Today you came to ask me about communication software. It seems that you are not so calm.
"
He continued: "If you ask me, everyone has to start from their own advantages when making products. Our Yike this time has a mobile phone level foundation. Without a group of active users endowed by the YMS ecosystem, our current competition with Penguin will be even more difficult.
Much worse."
Ma Ren also had a similar idea, and felt that this point coincided with each other. Only by giving full play to one's own advantages can one achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The problem is that Alibaba’s e-commerce advantages are difficult to combine with the communication field, and the public cannot use Wangwang as an instant messaging tool.
"Add a friend. If the competition becomes fierce in the future, you can block him as a formality." Fang Zhuo took out his cell phone. Ma Min took out his cell phone and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Fang Zhuo saw the meaning in his expression at a glance and said in surprise: "You don't have Yi Xin, do you?"
"I've been busy lately." Ma Min clicked on his phone, "Just in time to verify whether your Yixin is easy to download and register.
Fang Zhuo shook his head and stretched out the little finger of his right hand: "Take Shao Ze's sword from me, Ma Ren, you have violated the company's values of embracing change and you should be punished!"
One of Ali's Six Meridians Divine Sword is "embracing change".
Obviously, not even trying the hottest instant messaging software is a sign of neglect of change.
"You are wrong. What I need to do is decide the direction and decide whether to do it or not, rather than spending energy on specific products." Ma Chen retorted with a smile.
Fang Zhuo switched to his index finger: "Hey! Hit me with Shang Yang Sword, Ma Ren, you are not sincere, you are just trying to fool people!"
Seeing that he was playing, Ma Chen shook his head and said, "If you have any other swords, let's bring them out."
"There is also a punching sword. Peng Lei and the others are barbecuing, and you are just drinking tea here. You don't engage in teamwork." Fang Zhuo said with a smile.
Ma Chen looked back and said, "If you want to incriminate yourself, why bother?" "I'll send you a box of mooncakes in a while." Fang Zhuo accepted his magical power.
Ma Chen was puzzled: "Why?"
"Why is this possible? It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival. I just want to thank you for the inspiration your corporate culture has given me." Fang Zhuo shrugged.
Ma Ren glanced at Fang Zhuo's smile. If he remembered correctly, it seemed that it would be a while longer.
Ah, no, the person named Fang just said Dragon Boat Festival. He was fooling himself. He was fooling himself.
