Reborn multinational giant

The anecdote that Zhang Yong told everyone has caused the executives present to whisper and talk, and everyone is speculating, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?

At this moment, President Ma said:

"Fang Zhe cannot be judged by common sense. His courage, courage and vision are rare in a century. Such a person, born in troubled times, must be a great figure like the founding father!

Don’t forget, Fang Zhe is only 25 years old this year. Most young people at this age have either just graduated from school, or just started talking about marriage. In terms of career, let’s not talk about achieving his achievements, but reaching him. Achieving one part of it is also nothing in a million.

Judging from Fang Zhe and Huizhong’s previous rules of conduct, Fang Zhe always focuses on long-term interests and does not stick to momentary wins or losses.

Just say that we are now promoting traffic subsidies for exchanges and sending red envelopes. Isn't that all the rest of Huizhong play?In order to promote WeChat two years ago, Huizhong subsidized tens of billions of dollars around the world. Who could have the courage and courage to be someone else?

In the past few years, everyone has seen what kind of results the start-ups he invested in before, such as Xiaomi, Jumei Youpin, JD.com, Momo, Are you hungry, Kuaan Taxi, foreign whatsapp, uber, Airbnb and so on.

Huizhong invests in all walks of life and has made great achievements. If these companies are listed in the future, think about it, what kind of giant company will Huizhong become?"

I don’t know, I was shocked when I said that, Mr. Ma briefly talked about Huizhong’s achievements in the past few years. A group of senior executives in Ali suddenly discovered that they were still entrepreneurs as juniors and rising stars a few years ago. Huizhong, the company, has now grown into the existence that Ali, Baidu, Tencent and other top domestic Internet companies look up to!

When the executives were in distress, Mr. Ma said again: “Huizhong is no longer a company that we can easily defeat and contend with. Maybe I had a fluke in the past, but this time we went online to promote contacts and burned so much money. , After taking so many detours, I discovered how powerful WeChat and Huizhong are.

Even if we lay down on Huizhong's WeChat, the collection of so many companies invested by Huizhong alone is enough to support it to become one of the best multinational companies in the world!"

When Mr. Ma talked about this, the executives reminded of Yahoo, which had only been repurchased by Ali some time ago. Nowadays, Yahoo still has a market value and investment value of tens of billions of dollars. The reason is simple. Yahoo still holds 20% of Alibaba's stock in the hands of Yahoo. Shareholders who buy Yahoo shares are not optimistic about Yahoo, but Alibaba!

"If we take the initiative to discuss cooperation with Huizhong, everyone thinks that Fang Zhe will agree to cooperate with us, and how much sincerity will Fang Zhe show to cooperate with us?"

When Mr. Ma asked this question, the executives present were dumb. Although everyone admits that Huizhong is indeed very diao, it is still difficult to accept this reality in terms of mentality. As one of the four major HBAT Internet companies, Alibaba, go to Seeking to cooperate with the "equally famous" Huizhong, is this a bit too shameful!

No one spoke, and the last one to speak was Zhang Yong, who first proposed cooperation:

"From the perspective of Huizhong, in the long run, cooperating with us will have more advantages than disadvantages, because Huizhong's current journey of full internationalization needs the support of a company similar to his size, whether it is JD.com They are still e-commerce platforms such as Jumeiyoupin, which are still not in the climate, at most competing with us in the domestic market.

In overseas markets, only we have the strength to help Huizhong, but companies like Jingdong do not have this strength.

Regardless of the e-commerce business, although our Alibaba Cloud and Alipay have strong competition with Huizhong’s Huizhong Cloud and Alipay, this does not hinder our cooperation in the e-commerce business."

"Even I think, even if one day in the future, Alibaba Cloud merges with Huizhong Cloud, and Alipay merges with Alipay, it will not be impossible!" In the last sentence, Zhang Yong did not dare to say in front of so many executives It's just that based on his judgment and prediction of these two businesses now, maybe there will be such a day in the future.

Now that Mr. Ma and Zhang Yong, the two main helms of Ali, both have intentions to cooperate, Ali's executives have followed along to discuss the possibility of cooperation between the two companies.

In the end, Mr. Ma decided that Zhang Yong will have full authority to handle and be responsible for the cooperation between the two companies, including further investigation and analysis of the possibility of cooperation between the two companies, studying the conditions required for the cooperation between the two parties, etc., and also weighing the cooperation relationship with Tencent.

When necessary, it is not impossible to give up cooperation with Tencent and cooperate with Huizhong, because in addition to the social e-commerce foundation that both parties have, Alibaba, which has already dominated the domestic market, hopes to get an international The window and opportunity of globalization has become the world's top e-commerce giant!

As for the exchange project, although there was no clear discussion result at the meeting, the answer in the minds of the executives is already self-evident, that is, temporarily let the exchanges fend for themselves. If Ali cannot reach cooperation with Huizhong, maybe exchanges There is also a chance to come back to life. If cooperation can be reached, then perhaps the death of the exchange is the condition and basis for cooperation between the two parties.

More than a month later, after struggling for a period of time, the real data still hasn't improved greatly. President Ma has gradually become frustrated. After quietly suspending the double billion money loss subsidy activities, the exchanges are also the same. It was a flash in the pan and became another failed case of Ali's exploration of the social direction.

In the past month or so, the enthusiasm of the exchanges has gradually cooled down. As time goes by, from Internet experts to the general public have slowly discovered and understood that compared to the fancy and smorgasbord exchanges, that clean, everything WeChat, with user experience at its core, is the mobile social software that everyone needs and relies on most.

In the past two months, some WeChat users may have registered and logged in, but they have never left WeChat, nor have they left the WeChat Moments rooted in WeChat!

It was also during this time that Fang Zhe received an expected guest in the VIP room of Huizhong, the founder and CEO of JD, Mr. Liu!
