News said Sun Xiaoyu, former Taobao President, will start a business in Hangzhou

Sina Technology news in the early morning of March 31, according to reliable channels, Taobao's former president Sun Xiaoyu has recently launched a business plan, the company site in Hangzhou. However, it may involve a job selection prohibition agreement with the old Dongjia. He will not make C2C platforms similar to Taobao, and may be a supporting C2C industry.

Sun Xiaoyu recently had frequent contact with some VC companies and chose Hangzhou, which he was most familiar with as the company's headquarters. According to industry insiders, Sun Xiaoyu may choose a very promising express logistics market, which is also an important part of Taobao's future e-commerce industry chain. Zhou Shaoning, former co-president of Google Greater China, is currently engaged in the logistics industry in Hangzhou and closely cooperates with Taobao.

Sun Xiaoyu stepped down as Taobao's president in December 2007. He was a member of a large-scale organizational structure adjustment by Alibaba Group at that time. Lu Zhaoxi, then Alipay's president, took over his position.

Alibaba said at the time that, sun Xiaoyu, president of Taobao, Li Qi, COO of Alibaba Group, Wu Yu, CTO of Alibaba Group, and Li Xuhui, senior vice president of Alibaba Group, entered the "rotation learning" program of Alibaba's senior cadres. In late January 2008, Wu Yu joined the Northern Lights Venture Capital. Wu Yu later said in an interview with Sina Technology that he was very interested in investment. He is a "part-time job" in the northern lights and will return to Alibaba in the future.

Sun Xiaoyu has been following Jack Ma since 1996, one of the "18 Rohan" of Alibaba's entrepreneurial team. In the spring of 1996, he joined Jack Ma's Chinese Yellow Pages and entered the Internet industry. At the beginning of 1998, as a member of Jack Ma's team, he went to Beijing north to build an official site of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and China's online goods trading market. At the beginning of 1999, he and the Alibaba startup team went back to Hangzhou to build the Alibaba website from scratch. In April 2003, he led the Taobao entrepreneurial team to start a new business. In 2003, he was responsible for leading Taobao's team creation and serving as the general manager of Taobao.
