"How dare they!!!"

Tengda's negotiation team didn't get angry because they didn't meet the real owner. After all, cooperation cannot be achieved in one day, and when it comes to such a big cooperation, they have to take it slow.

But Qiantang Ali was completely furious. After confirming the authenticity of the news that Sun Tongyu joined Pinxixi under Qingyun, Jack Ma was furious!
Compared with the payment system equity transfer that was exposed, this is the real nuclear bomb impact...

On the afternoon of the 17th, news media kept calling Ali, asking him what he thought about the former general manager of Taotao joining a competitor.

What a fart!
At first Taotao thought someone was playing a prank. The non-compete agreement was there, involving tens of millions of dollars in interests.

But as more and more news media reporters flocked to the Ali headquarters, they pointed their cameras at everyone entering and leaving Ali and questioned them.

Everyone understood that things had gotten out of hand.

"Immediately arrange for the group's legal department to sue Pinxixi and Sun Tongyu himself..."

“Boss Ma, I have already contacted him before coming here. He voluntarily declared that he would give up all his income in the company, including option shares, and return the compensation in the non-compete agreement.

Even the compensation amount is ready..."

Before Zhang Yonglai came, he had already spoken to this former colleague on the phone. Sun Tongyu's attitude was very firm. He did not want a penny of what Taotao gave him. He would act according to the laws and regulations and pay the money he owed.

He just wanted to prove that his strategy of sinking into the market was not wrong. Legally speaking, he was not a technical talent and it was impossible for him to cause damage to the company at the technical level.

In terms of management, the rural areas involved in Pinxixi are not Taotao's traditional sales channels, and there is no problem of using the original company's resources for profit...

"All of the above is enough to prove that he had been planning for a long time and had arranged a way out. If we sue him reluctantly, we can only ask for a certain amount of compensation."

"Okay, don't tell me this now. What I want is a solution. How to restrict him from attending the press conference tomorrow!"

Jack Ma had a blank expression on his face and turned to the person next to him who had been silent the whole time, "Qianxi, what do you think?"

Lu Qianxi remained silent. He had been in charge of the payment system before. In March 08, he took over from Sun Tongyu who had resigned as the general manager of Taotao.com.

From to now serving as the general manager of Cainiao Network and Taodiandian, almost all of his businesses are in direct conflict with Qingyun Group, where Sun Tongyu works.

It is impossible to say that I am not conflicted in my heart. I am more complaining than thinking that there are so many good companies for you to work for, but you chose to go to Qingyun.

He was silent, and there was another person next to him who was also silent.

Peng Lei remained silent much longer than anyone else present because she had known all this half a month ago.

I tried to stop him, but no one can stop a man from fighting for his lifelong dream.

In March last year, she used her vote to send Sun Tongyu to study abroad, completing a bloodless seizure of power within Taotao.com.

Sun Tongyu, whose career and marriage suffered a double blow, was furious and chose to part ways with her. Later, with the help of family and friends, they remarried half a year later.

But the seeds of distrust had been planted, and she wanted to make amends, but she didn't know how.

After all, they are all adults. Compared with ridiculous face, the interests involving tens of millions are more important. Ali is developing better and better. If he leaves, the loss will not only be money.

But fortunately, she still had a little bit of affection in her heart, and she respected her husband's choice this time.

Who would refuse a recruitment offer worth hundreds of millions? Besides, she is confident that she can keep her current position.

Sure enough, when Jack Ma looked at her, she didn't even need to say anything, as several entrepreneurial partners next to her took the initiative to explain to her.

The disaster did not affect the family members. The Eighteen Arhats left and scattered, and now there are almost no ones left.

Whether it is out of an alliance of interests or to maintain the last bit of friendship, they all have to speak out.

Jack Ma had no intention of holding her accountable, otherwise he would not have allowed her to attend the meeting.

Lu Qianxi and Jack Ma have completely opposite personalities. He rarely expresses his opinions in public and does not like to make high-profile appearances internally.

He is always like this, planning before taking action and proving everything with his achievements.

"Taotao.com's achievements today have proven that there was nothing wrong with last year's decision and that everyone made the right choice.

Mr. Sun may have some misunderstanding and not understand the existence of emotions, so he made such irrational behavior without giving it too much thought.

I personally suggest that we immediately select capable personnel to form a working group and go to Shanghai to personally lobby and persuade him to give up the idea of ​​joining Pinxixi.

At the very least, we must prevent tomorrow’s media conference from happening.”

Lu Qianxi spoke calmly, and at the same time glanced at Peng Lei inconspicuously, his intention was obvious.

That seemed to be the settlement.

Jack Ma then turned his attention to Mr. Guan Mingsheng, who once built the Ali Iron Army and advocated entering the sinking market.

At the critical moment, he persuaded the legendary boss to deal a fatal blow to Sun Tongyu.

The latter said slowly without any hesitation: “Stop him, it’s just on the surface.

Pinxixi’s strategy of focusing on rural areas is the biggest problem at present…”

As the old saying goes, old hands get the best. Not only did he pinpoint the problem, he also provided a solution.

That is the Ahri Iron Army that he created.

Initially, this field sales team had more than 5,000 people. After more than a year of turbulence, hundreds of people left or were kicked out under various pretexts due to differences in ideas.

As Sun Tongyu's direct descendants, it is impossible to allow certain people to continue to stay in key positions.

But now the situation is different. Pinxixi has expanded into rural areas and achieved remarkable results. Ali is also worried that there will be another e-commerce rival in the future that relies on local promotion to start its business.

It just so happens that Cainiao Network has a national investment plan, and now is the time for Ali’s Iron Army to take action.

“…In the vast rural areas, due to the lag in infrastructure construction, the development of this market will be very slow.

Any company that wants to cultivate this market must have enough patience and funds to endure long-term losses.

This is extremely unacceptable to investors.”

Guan Mingsheng was convinced by this reason at first, and now he brings it up again.

This is certainly not a simple narrative, but the situation is slightly different. He said in a deep voice:
“When the debate on concepts was raised, the economic crisis was spreading and companies had to base themselves on the current situation and make choices that best suited their own interests.

Therefore, the decision to abandon the sinking market was, at least at that time, extremely correct.

But time and environment are constantly changing, especially China has chosen a completely different response route from the mainstream world.

At present, the effect of stimulating domestic demand is remarkable. The person opposite is also a great man. He can see the huge business opportunities in the exchange of old home appliances for new ones in rural areas. "

Lu Qianxi understood it, and he asked calmly, “So what?”

The Ali management team headed by him looked unhappy. What did this mean?
Repay the debt?

At that time, it was concluded that the investment market would fall into a downturn due to the economic crisis, and Ali's competitors were eyeing it covetously.

There are Tenda and Qiandu, and they are ready to pounce at any time to divide Ali's market share.

They have to plan ahead, whether it's to please investors or to be pragmatic.

We also judge that the country's economy will continue to improve in the long run and that there will be more and more middle-class families, so we will make the final decision to upgrade consumption.

Now that Guan Mingsheng brought up the old matter again, they became increasingly worried.

Fortunately, the old man is also a shrewd man. He has worked for several large multinational companies throughout his life and has reached the top position among Chinese. How could he possibly stand against everyone?

He then proposed a new strategy aimed at squeezing Pinxixi's living space.

That is Cainiao Network.

Its importance has been infinitely elevated.

“…As the group’s layout in the logistics and express delivery industry, Cainiao must shoulder greater responsibilities.

In the next few months, the field sales team will travel across the country to build a franchise system network at the county level.

By utilizing Taotao.com's merchant user resources and attracting the existing dealer systems of major manufacturers, we can quickly build an offline sales network covering the entire country.

What Pinxixi can do, we can do too.

In fact, Cainiao Network can do better because the key resources are in the hands of Taotao.

Just like relying on ground promotion teams to attract manufacturers in the past, distributors throughout the counties and districts are new small manufacturers who rely on offline resources for sales in the early stages.

Later on, through guidance and training, we allow them to open online stores.

We have to thank Pinduoduo. Without it, dealers all over the country would not agree. These people originally hated e-commerce and thought Taobao had taken away the benefits that should have belonged to them. But Pinduoduo's establishment of a township sales network has a huge impact on them, and will intensify the conflict between them and the manufacturers."

Having said this, Guan Mingsheng paused for a moment, organized his words, and continued:
"Under the single traditional agency model, the rights and obligations of manufacturers and dealers are not equal. Even for nationwide dealers like Gome and Suning, there is no good ending if disputes arise.

For example, Mr. Huang, where is he now?
But with the support of Taotao, it’s different. Relying on strong organizational capabilities and the continuous increase in Pinxixi’s performance, small and medium-sized dealers have no choice.

We must find a way to regain our lost profits. Taotao can do this. By centralized purchasing, costs will be greatly reduced.

Relying on this network and the newly joined local powerful forces can not only limit Pinxixi's further development into counties and districts, but also control the future of manufacturers.

With Taotao online and Cainiao offline, they also control the logistics and express delivery channels. If manufacturers do not want to lose market share, they must compromise. "

It has to be said that after a company becomes bigger, the development directions it can choose are all the same, and they all want to achieve a monopoly.

Qingyun, um, that was purely dragged away by Li Zehua alone.

Lu Qianxi understood and took the initiative to step forward and add: “It is difficult to accomplish, but the opportunities are great and the benefits are even greater.

There can be no more hesitation regarding express delivery companies. They must be forced to cut off ties with Hummingbird. At the very least, the cut must be completed at the county, district, or city level.

The attitude of small and medium-sized manufacturers is not important. They dare not confront Taotao head-on. Only the big manufacturers are likely to refuse to cooperate. "

He explained the communication details of the preparation for the Double Eleven event to everyone present, "Products in different sales channels have different positioning for consumers.

The first element in building a brand image is price stability, and Taotao still has a long way to go in this regard.”

Seeing that no one objected, Jack Ma immediately made the final decision and issued an ultimatum to the Tongda Group.

This time is different from the past. Taotao is determined to make it happen. Anyone who dares to refuse will have their delivery service removed from the shelves.

The Tongda Group, which received the news, was so panicked that they didn't say anything.

The discussion within Ahri is still going on.

For example, Zhang Yong proposed to loosen up Taodiandian and launch a subsidy war in major cities across the country, which will not only target the food delivery industry, but will also start full competition in the same-city delivery field.

They hope to use this to tie up Qingyun Group and make it too busy and unable to provide more support to Pinxixi.

Jack Ma readily accepted this point, it's just money.

He doesn't love money, so he has never touched money.

Of course, after winning, the money that can be earned in a market worth hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars every year is innumerable.

In addition, the management present also put forward many other suggestions, and Jack Ma accepted them all as long as they were proven to be effective.

There is only one standard: anything that is beneficial to Ahri is fine, and anything that can deal a blow to Qingyun must be arranged immediately.

But no one mentioned what to do if Sun Tongyu didn’t accept it.

Guan Mingsheng came here for this. When Jack Ma called him, he heard the last part of the conversation carefully.

At the end, when Jack Ma looked at him, he looked at Peng Lei again, thinking that he must stand up and give an explanation for this kind of thing.

After saying sorry in my heart.

He cleared his throat and said, "Peng Lei, if, I say if Mr. Sun accepts it like before, it would be great.

But what if he disagrees and insists on going all the way to the end, even at the cost of going to court and tearing his face apart? "

Where will Ahri put her face?
How to compete with rivals in the e-commerce market in the future?

His face was completely lost.

Peng Lei had been fully prepared for this question in the past half month. She said without hesitation: "I respect all the decisions of the company."

At the same time, I added in my heart, "I also respect my husband's decision. After all, that is his lifelong dream."

I used to oppose it because it involved the huge interests of Ali and Taotao's original shares. Now, the boss of Qingyun has given me a guaranteed agreement, which can easily cover future profits.

Why does she still object?
Although the couple has an inexplicable special feeling for Ali, the adult world is very complicated, and when personal interests are involved, there is nothing wrong with focusing on money.

"With your words, I feel relieved."

Guan Mingsheng is worthy of being the man who once headed Boeing. His actions are accurate and ruthless.

“First, be polite, then use force. After all, we still have the friendship we once worked with, but personal emotions cannot be brought into the business. I know that Mr. Ma has always valued the relationship with everyone.

But today, I have to say that when it’s time to cut it off, cut it off!

How many secrets of Ali does a former general manager hold in his hands?
He has an in-depth understanding of the group's organizational structure and future development strategy. What does the market think about his defection to a competitor?
What do investors think?
Will it shake their determination to be optimistic about Ahri's future?
Is the compensation in the non-compete agreement enough to make up for the losses of tens of billions?

So, Mr. Ma is unwilling to make the final decision, so I will be the bad guy."

Jack Ma was deeply moved, but the character he had established over a long period of time determined that he would not say it out loud. He could only show a sad expression, as if to say, "I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me."

"Stop talking..."

"No, you can't let romance get in the way of great things. You treat Mr. Sun as a brother, but he has joined the enemy and is bent on killing you.

It can be seen that he never thought about this old relationship!
Mr. Ma, wake up, open your eyes and look, everyone here has worked hard with you in the residential building.

Do you want to ruin this great situation just for Mr. Sun alone, and let all the hard work and efforts of Ahri's brothers and sisters go to waste?"

"I……

well. "

There is an old saying that goes, "If the king humiliates his subjects, they will die."

Although Jack Ma cannot be called the king of a country, he is also the spiritual totem of Ali.

Regardless of whether they are the founding fathers or the upstarts who joined in the middle, seeing the tears in his eyes, they were all moved, not to mention their hatred for Sun Tongyu.

SoftBank’s directors stood up and clamored that the traitors must pay the price.

A good crisis was turned into a rally by Jack Ma.

Guan Mingsheng struck while the iron was hot and said grimly: “Many hidden dangers left over from Taotao’s development over the years were created during his tenure.

Originally, everyone was living in peace and harmony, and out of past friendship, they turned a blind eye to the matter.

In this situation, don’t blame the company for being immoral. There are so many merchants involved in fake orders, and the ground promotion team is pocketing the money. There is no need to say more about other things..."

It's not that they were unprepared. There were several things that had been "verified to be true". These were prepared to prevent Sun Tongyu from fighting to the death.

It comes in handy now.

Call the police!

Arrests!

The evidence is there.

Other conventional means, such as playing the emotional card, is nothing more than making Sun Tongyu disappear from tomorrow's press conference.

But the worst outcome of his leadership of Pinxixi is inevitable.

Only by sending him in can we solve the problem once and for all.

Jack Ma looked at everyone who was speechless for a moment and said nothing.

This move was taught by Liu Aiguo, the leader of Taishan Sect.

It’s really easy to use and solves problems simply, quickly and accurately.

At that time, even within the group, there was a young leader with the surname Sun who wanted to rebel and seize power. He was a patriotic figure and had a slightly higher level of resources.

However, a financial issue involving more than 20 yuan directly sent Prince Lian Xiang to prison.

Humph, as long as I am alive, how dare you act rashly? !
But Jack Ma is not that ruthless. After all, Peng Lei is still there, and he also has to consider the opinions of the entrepreneurial team.

So, he gave the choice to Peng Lei, "The biggest fault for what has happened is mine, but I hope you can understand that I have to do this for the company and for everyone.

However, my original intention was not to do anything to him. You make the call and ask him to go abroad. You hold Taotao's original option on his behalf."

When he said this, he couldn't help choking up.

Everyone also came to comfort him. After all, who doesn’t like a leader who is kind and righteous?
Peng Lei was also completely convinced. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the phone and dialed the number of his bedmate: "Lao Sun, promise me, run quickly, the farther the better." (End of this chapter)
