Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

In Zhonghai, Xu Tengyu watched the overwhelming reports about Taobao, as well as the news about the top Bai Fumei at Lu Yiming's night party, and suddenly couldn't sit still, so he called directly: "Lu Yiming, I heard that you made another Bai Fumei? "

This is already the seventh person who told Lu Yiming about this day.

This made Lu Yiming so depressed that he couldn't help scolding those bad reporters who wentssip, and said mercilessly, "I'm picking on your sister!"

Xu Tengyu immediately took up the conversation and said: "Ah, you want to date my sister? I don't have any younger sisters, but I have a few cousins ​​who are pretty good-looking. If you are interested, I can match you up."

"I bother!"

Lu Yiming said bluntly: "There is nothing to be courteous about. It's either rape or stealing. Tell me honestly, do you want to buy shares in Ali?"

Xu Tengyu was open and aboveboard, and said directly: "Yes."

Lu Yiming said without hesitation: "Don't think about it, you have nothing to do."

When Xu Tengyu heard it, he immediately became unhappy: "Oh no, why can't I buy it if Su Yunwei can buy it?"

Lu Yiming said: "She is a big beauty, and you are a rough guy, who gave you the same confidence?"

"..."

What kind of reason is this?
Xu Tengyu teased: "Let me tell you, what is the origin of this surnamed Su? This profitable business takes care of her so much, you two really don't have some dirty business in private as the newspaper said, right?"

Lu Yiming said contemptuously: "Those people are dirty in their hearts, so naturally they think everyone is dirty. What kind of dirty deal? I don't have that hobby. She is my girlfriend's aunt, and the Su Group is my mother-in-law's family business. Can I not take care of it? "

When Xu Tengyu heard it, he immediately laughed and cursed: "Sure enough, there is a shady scene! I really can't compare this relationship. But I still have a question to ask."

"what?"

"Is she married?"

"roll."

"okay."

As Taobao's event exploded and became famous, Ali's valuation also rose, and there was an endless stream of people waving tickets and wanting to invest.As the founder of Ali, Jack Ma has also achieved financial freedom.Although Ali is still losing money now, what can be seen is that as long as there are no accidents, Jack Ma can afford those yachts, mansions, sports cars and so on.

In the conference room, Jack Ma couldn't wait to ask Lu Yiming: "Mr. Lu, we are off to a very good start, but it is not enough to completely defeat eBay. What's your opinion on the future development of Taobao?"

Lu Yiming asked back: "What about you? What do you think?"

Jack Ma said: "I think it is time to strike while the iron is hot, continue to raise funds, and continue to promote after getting the money, especially some small and medium-sized enterprises in various places. Let them know the existence of Taobao."

Taobao Mall is engaged in C2C e-commerce, so compared with large enterprises and large companies, small and medium-sized sellers are the real main force, and these people must be attracted to Taobao to open stores no matter what.

No one else, just because for online shopping, cheap is the last word!

Even when Taobao grows in size and a large number of individual sellers emerge, then it can truly become the leader of the entire industry.

It has to be said that there is some reason for Jack Ma's rise. This vision and direction are very precise.

Lu Yiming said: "Well, since you think so, let's do it. Alibaba is yours, not mine. What I want to say has been told to you before, and the next road will be yours. Go by yourself."

Seeing that Lu Yiming didn't object to his opinion, Jack Ma was very happy and felt that his whole body had been sublimated.

There is no way, Lu Yiming's performance is really amazing, anyone who raises any opinions in front of him will appear a little lacking in confidence.Being recognized by Lu Yiming is something to brag about.

In the next few days, Taobao began to be frequently exposed in the news media, and new investors continued to wave their money into the market, raising Ali's market value even higher.

Taobao's business is booming, but the life of some companies is not so easy.

Ariel Group.

At the meeting at the end of the month, there were a lot of senior executives in the huge conference room, but there was no sound, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

George, a foreign executive from the beautiful country, was holding last month's sales report in his hand, his face darkened.

His eyes were sharp, sweeping across the faces of a group of yellow people in front of him, condescending.

Everyone in the audience lowered their heads, and no one dared to look at him.

"The growth of our national shipments has been overtaken by Liby and Diaopai? What's going on!?"

In the audience, Shi Hu, the CEO of Ariel Xiaguo Branch, couldn't help but slander: Don't you know what's going on?If you hadn't spoken too badly back then and rejected Taobao's cooperation, why would Ariel be in such a miserable situation?
Liby and Diaopai have cooperated with Taobao, and various entry activities, cross-store full discounts have directly driven netizens crazy. No matter whether there is a current need, this kind of daily necessities with a long shelf life can be bought at a very favorable price. Who would miss such an opportunity?
Seeing that no one spoke, George snorted softly and said, "I don't care that much, someone must be responsible for this matter."

There is no doubt that in terms of the ins and outs of the matter, George is the one who is responsible.In addition to being the top decision maker of the company, his rejection of Taobao's cooperation was the most important reason for the decline in Ariel's performance.

However, this is the country of Xia, and he is a noble white master of the beautiful country, so no matter what, he will definitely not take the blame!
George's eyes scanned the crowd again, and this time everyone knew that he was looking for a scapegoat, so everyone lowered their heads, wishing they could disappear from the conference room.

Just when everyone was silently praying in their hearts not to call him, George said: "It's you, this time our Ariel's performance has declined so severely, I think you should bear the main responsibility."

All the people raised their heads, followed George's gaze, and focused on Yang Chaojie, the sales director.

"What does this matter have to do with Director Yang?"

"He can't be the sales executive, so let him take the blame? Everyone in the company can see how good his performance is."

"That is, if it wasn't for Director Yang, would Ariel be where he is now? It's just a dream."

In the conference room, when everyone saw that George had actually blamed Yang Chaojie, they immediately started whispering.

Yang Chaojie is a business expert in the company, and he is usually very popular in the company, so many people fight for him.

Vice President Liu Xinzhi said: "Mr. Yang cannot be blamed for this matter. Yang is always the backbone of the company. He usually completes his work very well. It is unreasonable to blame him. It is mainly because of Taobao's activities, Diaopai and Liby and Taobao. Through cooperation, a lot of goods have been shipped, which surpassed ours. Relying on Taobao, they have gained a reputation, and they have also sold a lot of goods through offline channels.”

Yang Chaojie looked at Liu Xinzhi gratefully.

In fact, everyone knows what kind of urine George is, but because he is a foreigner sent by the head office, everyone dare not speak out against him.

George saw everyone's reaction was great, but he didn't care at all.

Liu Xinzhi said to Yang Chaojie: "Old Yang, why don't you contact Taobao and tell us that we are willing to cooperate with them."

Yang Chaojie said helplessly: "I've looked for it, but the conditions they offered are very harsh..."

If you don't come to send charcoal in the snow, who are you to make the icing on the cake?
When Taobao needed Ariel, Ariel not only rejected Taobao, but also rejected Taobao in a very disgraceful way. Now that Ariel saw that Taobao had already started, and brought all his competitors with him, he wanted to go to Taobao to reap benefits. , How could Taobao pay attention to them?
Don't say that Taobao didn't agree, even Liby and Diaopai couldn't agree.

They chose to cooperate with Taobao and took the risk. Why should Ariel come in to pick peaches now?
George said arrogantly: "How could they not agree?" He still looked arrogant: "Gentlemen, don't forget that we are Ariel Group!"I believe Taobao will agree. After all, we are different from small companies like Liby and Naisi. We are a world-renowned brand under Procter & Gamble.It is an honor for us to enter Taobao. "

Seeing George, a gringo who parachuted from Procter & Gamble's headquarters and never did anything serious but only directed blindly, Yang Chaojie, who was already upset at being blamed, quit on the spot, stood up and slapped the table and said, "I can go to you, Procter & Gamble What a fart, he is famous all over the world, he really thinks of himself as an onion. Now that the fire is imminent, why do you think you are superior to a foreigner? Times have changed! My lord."

Yang Chaojie's anger shocked everyone immediately.In everyone's minds, he is usually an image of a down-to-earth honest man who has never had a crush on anyone. Now he directly slapped the table to challenge George. Obviously, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Liu Xinzhi quickly got up and supported Yang Chaojie's shoulder, and said, "Old Yang, what are you doing? We are just discussing now."

"What the fuck, does this white guy know what the fuck he is? Did he think this was Xia Guo 100 years ago? What are you talking about? You can do this job whoever you like, anyway, I can't do it anymore. "

Liu Xinzhi persuaded: "Calm down, Ariel is a foreign-funded enterprise after all. With your ability and serious work, you will definitely be able to sit in the position of an executive in a few years. The salary is high and the treatment is good, and you will have face when you talk about it."

Yang Chaojie said unhappily: "So what about the executives? Don't foreigners look at people with their nostrils? Just look at the virtues of these days, and you will know that Procter & Gamble doesn't take us seriously at all."

Pouting his buttocks and working for foreigners for so many years, Yang Chaojie is not a fool. He has already seen the ceiling inside the company, which is invisible but tangible. so what?Isn't he still a vice president?And I'm afraid that if he is given another five years, he won't be able to become a regular.

Seeing that George's face became more and more ugly, Liu Xinzhi hurriedly took Yang Chaojie out of the conference room, and said in a low voice, "Old Yang, I know these white skins are bastards, but there are seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar tea, etc. You can't run away. If you quit now, where will you work? You can't go to other daily chemical factories and climb up from the bottom, right?"

Yang Chaojie said without hesitation: "I've already thought about it just now, I'm going to Taobao. In terms of my qualifications, it's definitely impossible to start from the bottom to apply for a job in any daily chemical company."

Liu Xinzhi said, "That's true."

Yang Chaojie went on to say: "However, if you enter a daily chemical company, the upper limit of future growth is predictable. Only Taobao, which has just started, lacks various talents. With my experience and contacts in daily chemical sales, I went to Taobao. It will definitely be reused! The point is, I think Ali is a company with unlimited possibilities, and its future growth is limitless."

Yang Chaojie knows very well that choice is often more important than hard work. Only when he chooses the right industry can he have the opportunity to show his strengths.

Liu Xinzhi was silent for a while, patted Yang Chaojie on the back, and said, "Come on."

Yang Chaojie didn't even go back to the conference room, he went directly to his office, wrote a letter of resignation and left with his belongings.

That afternoon, Yang Chaojie called Cai Chongxin.

"Mr. Cai, I'm Yang Chaojie."

Before, when Cai Chongxin was negotiating conditions with Ariel, he was talking with Yang Chaojie, so he asked enthusiastically: "Director Yang, why do you have time to call me? Ariel Group has accepted our conditions?"

Yang Chaojie said frankly: "I have already resigned. I made this call because I want to come to Taobao to find a job. I wonder if Taobao will welcome me."

Cai Chongxin was slightly taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "I can't wait for someone like Director Yang to join me. How could he not welcome you? Are you free to come over now? I just have a meeting tomorrow morning, and I'll take you directly." Go see Mr. Ma."

Received such a welcome, Yang Chaojie was relieved, thankful that his decision was correct.

It's still cool to work with your own people, and you don't need to look at the faces of those foreigners.

The next morning, Yang Chaojie met with Cai Chongxin. After the two exchanged pleasantries, Cai Chongxin said, "Let's go, the meeting is ready. I will take you to see President Ma first."

Cai Chongxin brought Yang Chaojie to Jack Ma's conference room.

"Mr. Ma, this is Yang Chaojie, the sales director of the former Ariel Group. I approached him before. But he has resigned now. I invited him to our Taobao team. What do you think? Mr. Yang, this is Ali and Mr. Jack Ma, the founder and CEO of Taobao.”

When Jack Ma heard about Yang Chaojie's background, he immediately got up, walked around the desk, and shook hands with Yang Chaojie enthusiastically.

"Welcome, welcome. Mr. Yang is a good general whom I have longed for. It is my honor to be able to join Taobao."

Hearing what Jack Ma said, Yang Chaojie was immediately moved.

When did you receive such courtesy in a foreign company?
"President Ma, I have admired you for a long time."

Jack Ma couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Yang, when can you officially join the job?"

Yang Chaojie said, "It can be done now."

Jack Ma immediately waved his hand and said, "Okay, from today onwards, you will be in charge of the category of daily chemical consumer goods, responsible for liaising with suppliers from all over the world, and ensuring that Taobao has a stable supply of goods and a wide range of categories."

This is Yang Chaojie's old business, so he agreed without hesitation.

At the same time, Yang Chaojie also saw Taobao Mall's style of doing things, highlighting a vigorous and resolute decision, quick decision-making, and immediate execution. Although as a start-up company, there are still various problems, but this hard work is better than some traditional ones. Big business is much stronger.

Cai Chongxin shook hands with Yang Chaojie, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, we are colleagues from today. It's a pity that Mr. Lu didn't come today, otherwise you would have seen Ali's Dinghaishenzhen."

Yang Chaojie asked curiously: "Dinghaishenzhen? Who is it?"

Cai Chongxin said: "Of course it is the legendary Lu Yiming, the richest man in Asia who has been constantly reported in the newspapers."

Although Yang Chaojie knew about the relationship between Lu Yiming and Ali, he did not expect that in Ali, everyone respected Lu Yiming so much.

He didn't meet Lu Yiming, but Yang Chaojie was now curious about what kind of a man he was, who could make both Jack Ma and Cai Chongxin look up to him.

Is it just because he is the richest man in Asia?
Zhonghai, the original eBay headquarters.

In the office, several employees gathered together to chat.

"Taobao Mall's current discounts are really strong. All kinds of full discounts are really irresistible. The coupons and postage discount coupons are simply not very easy to use."

"Yeah, a lot of things are necessities. You have to buy them anyway. Don't worry even if you buy too many pages. Giving some to your neighbors can also enhance your relationship."

"Taobao's gameplay is absolutely amazing. Alas, Taobao is developing better and better now, which makes our eBay voice much smaller. I heard that there have been a lot fewer new users recently. You say we will not be compared by Taobao Are you going down?"

"This is not good. Ebay doesn't seem to be doing anything special right now. Jiu is chasing and intercepting Taobao, and there is no response at the user level. All new users have gone to Taobao. How can this work?"

"I don't know if Ms. Whitman will be angry when she sees the current situation? If she wants to lay off employees because of this, then we will be sad. We are eBay employees, not their eBay employees. If we want to lay off employees, we must lay off first us."

"Yeah, ah, to be honest, I also want to be more awesome on eBay, at least the salary here is really good."

Everyone was chatting enthusiastically, and no one knew who said "Whitman is here" suddenly. Everyone hurried back to their workstations and sat down, pretending to be very busy.

After a while, Whitman appeared with a very ugly face, but she didn't take a second look at these ordinary desks at all, but called all the company executives out of the conference room.

She asked with a dark face: "What do you think about Taobao?"

Not long ago, she asked the same question on eBay, but she didn't get an answer at all.So, she came to eBay, thinking that eBay is a local company in Xiaguo, and she has a better understanding of Xiaguo's market.
