The barbecue next to the West Lake was like a team building event between Yi Ke and Ali. Everyone’s experience was very novel.
As two of the four giants, the competition between the two companies is actually very core. For example, when Yike entered the field of instant messaging, Alibaba and Yike have been competing in the e-commerce business for several years.
However, the relationship between the two companies has not yet collapsed. This may be because Taobao has always been developing faster and the distance from Tesco is also widening. The representative activity is the former’s June 18th shopping event versus the latter’s Double Eleven.
While eating and drinking, Ma Ren naturally talked about e-commerce, and reached a consensus with Fang Zhuo - the domestic potential in this area is still huge, and enlarging the market pie is still the first choice.
At the end, he mentioned Tesco's logistics acceleration and said half-jokingly: "You are forcing us to speed up."
"Mr. Ma, my favorite is the Shaoshang Sword among the Six Meridians Divine Sword." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "Its characteristic is that it has a strong sword path. If you change it to Ali's value, it is "customer first"."
We at Tesco are not trying to force you, we just put customers first. Ma Ren glanced at Mr. Fang: "You are a bit interesting."
"It's funny, I have always thought like this. Business competition is business competition, and mutual communication is mutual communication. Even if Pony treats me like that, I will always be willing to answer his phone call." Fang Zhuo said sympathetically,
"To be honest, sometimes the truth can only be heard from the outside."
Ma Dan always wanted to complain but also felt the same way when he said this. Indeed, it has reached a certain point, and it becomes increasingly necessary to listen to other people's words with distinction.
He sent out another invitation: "Come to the company tomorrow, I will take you around and introduce our team building."
Fang Zhuo was a little hesitant. He didn't want to build a team... He had already experienced the thinking of values on the spot, so there was no need to waste each other's time too much.
Seeing that Mr. Fang didn't agree immediately, Ma Chen pretended to be angry and said, "You're not going to be perfunctory again, are you? I left the dishes I ordered tonight and came here to have barbecue. Are you still doing this?"
Seeing that Mr. Ma was so sincere, Fang Zhuo had no choice but to agree.
The next day, I visited Ali again. This time the leader returned, and the battle was more grand than before.
In addition to Ma Chen himself, nine of the Eighteen Arhats appeared, including "Lin Daiyu" Peng Lei and "Jiang Fang" Jiang Fang
Today, the Eighteen Arhats are no longer complete. For example, Sun Tongyu, the former Taobao CEO and "God of Wealth", was taken down due to differences in e-commerce prospects and strategies. Therefore, the battle before Fang Zhuo is not without grandeur.
"I'm just here for a walk, why bother?" Fang Zhuo said from the bottom of his heart.
"This is not what I asked for. It's you, the richest man, who comes to visit. Everyone wants to see you." Ma Ren said with a smile.
"One nose and two eyes, what's there to see?" Fang Zhuo spread his hands, "Everyone should be busy, I'm just here to drink tea, and I don't have any real insights. Not only do I have none, I'm here to learn."
The head of Yike has a low profile and a sincere attitude, which endeared him to many senior Alibaba executives who met Mr. Fang for the first time.
Who is Mr. Fang?
His record goes without saying.
But such a person is so humble when he comes to Alibaba. No matter how competitive everyone is, he is really satisfied! Ma Chen happily led Mr. Fang to the inside of the company, accompanied by Lin Daiyu and Jiang Fang.
Fang Zhuo actually pays more attention to these two people. They are two people who are closely related to the values in Alibaba. In addition, Lin Daiyu took over Alipay this year and also serves as the group's CPO (Chief Talent Officer).
), Chiang’s anti-corruption department may also be useful.
A group of people visited Ali. Ma Chen's eloquence was much better than Wei Zhe's, and he spoke whatever he thought of without any scruples.
Judging from actual experience, Fang Zhuo still feels that this time is even better. Otherwise, he is the head of Alibaba.
"I've always heard that Mr. Fang's reputation is one of the best in the business world. How can you feel less proud when you meet your competitors today?" Ma Chen said with a smile after introducing Taobao's preparations for this year's June 18th event.
Fang Zhuo shook his head, not intending to leave any words. There was no passion or passion, the words came from the heart. His heart was not very good this time, so he had no interest in writing.
As the saying goes, you can only be sincere to yourself, so you can be sincere to your words. Ma Ren invites you again.
Fang Zhuo just refused.
However, when the group arrived at Jiang Fang's Integrity Department, Fang Zhuo's expression suddenly became solemn and complicated.
Ma Ren knew at a glance that Mr. Fang was probably affected by his Yike scandal, supply chain, Chen Weixiang, compliance department...
···Human beings are not like grass and trees. Although Mr. Fang acted a little chaotic, he must have been shaken when he beheaded Chen Weixiang with tears.
He indicated that Jiang Fang would introduce the work of the Integrity Department.
Alibaba's Anti-corruption Department was established last year. As soon as Jiang Fanggang took office, he carried out many internal transactions vigorously and resolutely. It can be said to be a refined and good knife that will not let men offended.
Fang Zhuo always frowned slightly while listening to Jiang Luohan's introduction. When he heard her say that Alibaba's values of integrity include being honest both internally and externally, he burst into admiration.
"Mr. Ma, you asked me yesterday if I wanted to poach Mr. Wei Zhe. I really didn't have that idea. But today, I have to ask, can Mr. Jiang cut off his love?"
Fang Zhuo gave recognition by poaching people.
Ma Chen laughed loudly: "Then ask Jiang Fang."
Jiang Fang smiled and said: "President Fang, I have only been doing this job for a short time. I can only say that I will try my best to fulfill the boss's instructions. He made a speech at the meeting and said that setting up this department would allow me to investigate anyone, including him.
I can't betray this trust."
Fang Zhuo repeatedly praised and admired: "So, I say that Alibaba's values are unique in China. It penetrates into every aspect of Alibaba's operations. Mr. Jiang, that's awesome!"
He gave a thumbs up.
Ma Yun was a little dumbfounded: "Stop bragging, I didn't call you here to listen to your bragging, you also give us some advice." Yike is known as the first of YBAT. A big factor comes from the company's market value, but the development of Yike has always been
Very good indeed.
Fang Zhuo thought carefully in front of the eyes of the head of Ali and all the Arhats.
After a moment, he sighed: "I can't offer any opinions. I can only say that your Six Meridians Divine Sword is really great. I have to organize study and research in the company when I go back."
Ma Chen smiled and shook his head, and the man named Fang hid it.
But Fang Zhuo still had something to say and continued: "Really, Mr. Ma, Mr. Jiang, I think the value system is a characteristic. If you have a pen or not, I will show off today."
Ma Ren was a little surprised. Mr. Fang was really... really affected and shocked. The people next to him immediately went to get pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
The rice paper is spread out and the pen and ink are polished.
Fang Zhuo concentrated his attention, and after a while, he swiped his brush and ink, and finished it in one stroke. Eight big characters!
—The Six Meridians Divine Sword has a well-deserved reputation.
After hearing the news, the head of Ali and all the Arhats saw the word with their own eyes, and they all praised in their hearts, the richest man in the Mainland/Mr. Fang, this word is indeed well-deserved!
Fang Zhuo threw the pen, shook his head and said: "My interest is gone. I will go back to Shencheng in a while and work on our values building. If Mr. Jiang does not dislike it, I will give this word to your Integrity Department."
As soon as Ma Chen admired it, he heard Mr. Fang say this and said, "I've even invited my friends tonight. If you don't arrive, the table won't be open."
"I came here just to take advantage of my excitement, but it turned out to be the opposite. If I don't engage in such nonsense, our e-commerce business will have to see the real deal." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "Anyway, I have added a lot of arhats to Yi Xin. When I go back, it will be slow."
Let’s talk slowly, I have to recruit someone to join me no matter what.”
Ma Ren smiled, and many other senior executives who met Mr. Fang for the first time also felt that the head of Yike was indeed chic and charming, which was different from the rumors.
"Then thank Mr. Fang for the inscription, which will be hung in our office." Jiang Fang said. Fang Zhuo nodded with a smile, but he actually wanted to take people away.
"Hey, holy shit, just leave as you say and have a cup of tea." Ma Ren was also shocked.
"Let's go, there are still many things to do." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "This trip to Lin'an is also to see the West Lake and relax. I can't take it easy all the time."
Seeing how insistent he was, Ma Chen had no choice but to send him out.
When Yike and his party got into the car and started to leave, Jiang Fang couldn't help but said: "Mr. Fang is really good at writing and quick at work. He is indeed one of the best in the country."
The Six Meridians Divine Sword has a well-deserved reputation. It depends on who is saying this.
Now evaluated by Mr. Fang, Alibaba’s heavyweight rival, the gold content has naturally been greatly improved.
Because of this, not only Jiang Fang, but also everyone felt good in their hearts, and even the other party's general perception was also different. "Mr. Fang," Ma Chen mused, "is capable."
Mr. Fang is a relatively chaotic person, with both good and evil hidden inside, waiting for opportunities to arise. However, he has given such a convincing evaluation of Ali's value system, so let's just talk about his ability.
"There are really many things to do. Let's go back and see Sun Tongyu first.
Fang Zhuo sat in the car on the way back, flipping through the itinerary handed over by his secretary Liu Zonghong, and moved forward the meeting with Arhat before Ali.
I am full of values these days. When I go back, I will meet someone from Alibaba, ah no, someone from former Alibaba.
Sun Tongyu, the former president of Taobao, started his business with Ma Jin in 1996. He is the third employee of Alibaba, nicknamed "God of Wealth", and is the husband of "Lin Daiyu".
When Ma Chen wanted to marry Sun Tongyu, he did not find out from his wife who was in charge of human resources. Instead, he was notified when he arrived at the company. It is said that he cried on the spot and then went to the United States. His marriage to Lin Daiyu was briefly suspended and then remarried.
That was two years ago.
Counting the time, the time for the non-compete agreement has passed.
The reason why Fang Zhuo met with Sun Tongyu was not intentional. It happened to be that executives who gained financial freedom and left the company usually like to invest, and he had many investment friends in China.
This matter has caught up.
There are many Arhats among Fang Zhuoyixin's friends, but he probably won't be able to dig them out.
In this case, it would be good to have a former Arhat. Sun Tongyu is talented and can have more room to display.
Fang Zhuo was running thoughts in his mind, thinking about the characteristics of the giant Alibaba, and suddenly realized that Pinduoduo, which Sun Tongyu later invested in, was somewhat like practicing part of the Six Meridians Divine Sword backwards.
This is...more interesting.
Seeing that his boss suddenly became happy, Liu Zonghong asked: "Will Mr. Sun be willing to come to Yike? Then Mr. Peng..."
"It depends on his ambition." Fang Zhuo guessed, "Personal factors should not interfere with it. Mr. Sun is probably the best person who can be both public and private."
He is treated as a man, and he can sum up his experience if he thinks about it, and he can be a man himself.
Liu Zonghong said "hmm". Yi Xin, who was suspicious of his boss, was probably going to be blocked by Mr. Ma. However, it was hard to tell because Mr. Ma seemed to be quite outgoing.
Lin'an is very close to Shanghai.
In the evening, Fang Zhuo returned to Hang Lung 23, immediately switched his thoughts and devoted himself to browsing the files for the past few days.
But not long after, Su Wei went upstairs to see the boss who came to Ali to study him face to face.
"How's it going? Did you see any movement?" Su Wei was curious about the results of this trip. She mainly wanted to see if she could find any additional solutions.
Fang Zhuo naturally had nothing bad to say to Teacher Xiao Su. He first asked his secretary to get Yuqian Longjing, and then summarized his observations of Ali and some updated materials.
Su Wei listened and watched, and asked with suspicion: "Can these little tricks shake Wei Zhe and even the Zhonggong system?
"I don't know, I'm just playing around." Fang Zhuo replied.
"..." Su Wei was slightly silent, then said, "But your approach to Ali's values..." Anyway, it's a train of thought.
She thought for a while and said with a bit of laughter: "What's going on? I suddenly discovered that you are using traffic and innovation to collide with Penguin, and you are deconstructing Alibaba from the perspective of values. What about Baidu? What is Baidu?"
"Didn't we cooperate with Sohu and Sogou? Who can do anything about Baidu's market?" Fang Zhuo shook his head.
Su Wei was a little unconvinced and pointed at Liu Zonghong: "Xiao Liu, tell me, do you think your boss has done anything to Baidu?"
Liu Zonghong looked at his boss cautiously and saw that he had no objection. He thought about it carefully and said slowly: "Mr. Su, Google China has been disbanded and the company has hired part of the team. Does this count?"
"It's because you think Google can't do localization well, so you should hire someone to do the localization yourself..." Su Wei said with a smile.
"This is really not true. Google's domestic engineering team is not huge. It is purely a normal recruitment of talents. If you have to say it, good things will happen if we do our best."
Su Wei glanced sideways: "If you can't be yourself, then go poke others, right?"
"Soldiers have no permanent momentum, and water has no permanent shape." Fang Zhuo sighed, "No matter what, you still have to prepare for war on your own. Geng Deheng and the others have already started to move."
Because of the threat from the Ali Iron Army, even though BOSS personally went to the enemy camp to conduct face-to-face research, Geng Deheng, who served as the vice president of sales, also quickly started work and began to substantively promote Mi Tuan's 100-city plan.
"When they move, won't you be idle and use Sina?" Su Wei asked. Fang Zhuo pointed to the mobile phone on the table, Yi Xin, we are all friends.
That night, Su Wei saw Mr. Fang’s circle of friends.
"After returning from Lin'an, the content of Ali's values is really good. It is worth learning and thinking about, and it is worth thinking about more at Yike."
Su Wei put down her mobile phone and took Mr. Fang's mobile phone, and found that it was filled with likes from Alibaba's senior executives.
