Between the flicker and the ideal

Like Taiji, not too centralized.

Ma Yun has been playing Taijiquan, as to what extent, according to his argument is, often unconsciously out of one or two terms, so that subordinates listen to confused.

In a recent interview, Mr Ma revealed that his fitness was not as good as it used to be. For this relatively resistant little man, can disclose this information to the outside, it should be said that Ma Yun is "tired" is too much, physical fitness has been quite overdrawn.

And more than the physical overdraft is, Ma Yun in the spirit is also difficult to find something to borrow, especially after 2011 years of so much turbulence. "That period of time is indeed, just is Taobao Mall, but also Alipay, is my own business." Several things are intertwined and the fluctuations are normal. You are not a God, you are not a computer, you are a human brain. I haven't fully recovered so far today. I don't mean to recover, it means my physical strength. I think it is the age of the relationship, and we are entering into a new space, this new space is not able to borrow. The equivalent of climbing 8000 meters later, you did not go to Ah, there is no history of how this thing should be done. This is not pessimism. Go up again, heard more than 8000 meters, every 100 meters, are the limits of life start, have started a little problem, this you have to ask yourself, you can. ”

If you follow this logic, the next move of Ma is easy to understand.

January 10, Ma Yun announced that Ali Group's existing business structure and organization to adjust, set up 25 business departments, the business Development Department will be the responsibility of the President of the Division. In the news after the burst has not yet fully fermented, January 15, Ma Yun announced that, from May 10 onwards, will resign as the CEO of Alibaba Group, only the chairman of the post. The new CEO will be announced later.

Is it that Ma Yun has not yet chosen the new CEO? In fact, not necessarily, good at Tai Chi and go, Ma Yun, ponder the deepest perhaps is the "timing" word, even he admits that Ali's success owes much to the two words. "I think Taijiquan brings me the biggest philosophical thinking," he said. Yin and yang, extremes, when should be collected, when to put, when it, when the time to gather, Ma said, "You want to live well, you have to exercise." If you want to live long, you must not exercise. How can you live long and live well, that is, slow movement and slow movement. Taijiquan makes sense, and so does a business. You have to control the rhythm, know when to move, when not to move.

Wash White pay treasure foreign identity, buy back Ali group Equity, Ali Business-to-business Retreat, Ali group split again, resigned CEO ... Ma's step-by-step, seemingly aerial arc, in fact, in secret, eyeing lore.

In reality, Ma Yun, the practice of Taijiquan, an important goal is to nursed life. Because the body is more than 8000 meters, and then sprint, no good health is absolutely impossible. As an entrepreneur, good physical fitness not only from physical exercise, to a large extent from good management, in particular, is to improve the reasonable authorization. In fact, the so-called management, in short, is to let others do what they want to do.

"One Direction of this organization change is to split the company into more small business operations, and we want to give more young Ali leaders the opportunity to innovate and develop." We not only need to see the development of the relevant business and their team, personal growth, but also want to see them through their own small business unit efforts, can make our business ecosystem more transparent, open, synergy, sharing, better. For the purpose of the split, Mr Ma explained.

And for the resignation of the CEO, Ma Yun explained, based on Alibaba Group has formed a successor system. He is full of confidence in the future management team, "Ali's performance makes me proud, but more let me surprise is the growth of Ali people." Ali's unique culture has created a large number of unique charm of Ali people.

In fact, Alibaba is one of the few it enterprises in China with a distinct corporate culture of the company, and the more such enterprises, the more easily born excellent professional managers. Mr Ma's many generals have long been able to independently. The flip side of the coin is that companies with distinct corporate cultures, despite the endless stream of good professional managers, are hard to produce, such as Lenovo, 360, and Ali. But there is another dimension to the problem. For Ma Yun, he only needs to continue to Taijiquan, continue to be less centralized. Regardless of mentality or ecology, will be better.

Between the flicker and the ideal

Zhao Benshan's "sell" sketch swept the country before, for Ma Yun that very passionate and "inflammatory" speech and speech, has been unable to find more concise words to describe. When the word "cheat" from the black soil of northeast China, the eloquent Ma Yun is listed as quite able to "cheat" the list of celebrities, and ranked absolutely no top three.

In this era of instant success, if a person with you talk about ideals, talk about serving others, talk about 100 years later, this is not a "cheat"? Do you believe it or not? Whether you believe it or not, he believes it anyway. At the 2012 China Economic annual character awards ceremony, Wanda chairman Wang said that Ma Yun is more powerful than the mountain. But Ma Yun defends a way, "cheat is oneself do not believe to let others believe, we are oneself all believe, hope others also believe".

Ma Yun is such a person, his day not only with tens of thousands of Ali employees talk about ideals, but also constantly to the public output their own ideals; Talk about serving others, and really constantly for thousands of young people to create jobs and get rich opportunities; never tire of talking about Alibaba's evergreen life to 102 years, and really let people feel that he can wait to get ...

Since the birth of Alibaba 14 years, Ma Yun's high-profile release of a vision, always make people incredible. However, this "ET" (aliens) is really a one to achieve, so that the people of the Earth's glasses are constantly below-now many people are only wearing glasses frame. Today's Ma Yun, still spare no effort to talk about the ideal, although people are still skeptical, but, "anyway can not understand him, let that guy to do it."

Ma Yun likes martial arts people all know, the big man, country. From this point of view, Ma Yun is indeed a great man. The hero to a certain extent, talk about is not martial arts, and become "sitting on the road." However, on this matter, many people are not easy to enter, or to go in is not easy to come out. Ma Yun Extraordinary "small universe", he has access to freedom, if the Virgin can retreat for days without a word, rabbit can instantly spit lotus maneuvers.

In fact, everyone in their bones is a philosopher, but after the storms of people, its perception more penetrating. Although people can not read Ma Yun, perhaps Mr Ma himself can not read himself. However, this does not prevent the recent talk in Ma Yun's "Tao" reason. 48-Year-old Ma Yun, the idea has changed?

"I haven't figured out what to do yet, but I've decided to enjoy other pleasures outside of the business," he said. I want to tell people that the company is unhealthy if the founder can't leave the company. No one can kidnap a company, nor should the company be kidnapped by anyone. A company should be run by a generation of young people and good people. Despite all the trouble last year, I still stand behind the scenes. I told the young man to solve the problem. If people accuse Ma Yun, that's good, you go to solve the problem. "Mr Ma said in an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek in June 2012.

"People like us have problems. My father looked at me from childhood. People who like me say I'm a good guy. People who hate me are disgusting. The people in our company think that Ma is OK. More than 90% of the staff, dare not say 100%, will feel Ma Ah, also can. But surely, the one who hates me ... In the community at least half of it, hate my people are also a lot of ", October 2012 Ma Yun and" Mr. Fashion "dialogue, said," Later, I want to communicate with you more and less, I also have their own family ... "

"A person to this age, the greatest pleasure is not his ideal, the biggest ideal is millions of open shop little girl boy they are here to achieve the ideal, a little bit to do." This kind of fun is why we can stick to it. "January 4, 2013, Ma Yun at the Communication University and Chow Chi said.

Ma Yun's recent speech is not difficult to see, Ma Yun some "tired". The 48-Year-old has a 84-year-old look, but also has a 18-year-old blood.

Ma Yun's ideal, has been to live for others, whether you believe it or not, he is a letter. Then, after the age of 48, he should probably live for himself, as well as his wife and children. This, perhaps, is his new ideal.

First "smelly" after "incense"

Rely on free to squeeze ebay, Yahoo funds quickly grow, Xianzhanhouzou wash white Alipay, buy back Yahoo held stake, Will Ali Business-to-business privatization, the introduction of Red capital, Ali split again, the resignation of CEO ... The overall listing of the group ... Ma's step-by-step, seemingly simple pendulum floating, but actually harmonizing. Which step is not ahead of time, which step backward also not.

From Ma Yun's "Finger East Dozen West", "guide North", it is not difficult to see, Ma Yun is really a master. Echoes, maneuvers without traces, until the final finale, the lore, only to let opponents and onlookers suddenly enlightened.

A big difference between Weiqi and chess is that the effect of a certain son of Weiqi is not immediate and, to a large extent, determined by subsequent drop, whose change is far more than chess. Therefore, in the park, the street, many can see a group of people watching chess, and rarely can see a group of people watching go. This is not to say that Weiqi is not popular in the Chinese people, because the board of Weiqi only in the mind of the game, and step by step change, onlookers are difficult to read, more difficult to "idea".

The Master of the master, Ma Yun, to "fickle" known, many of its way is described as a sword walk slant, for this is not less criticized. In fact, if the go to do than, the beginning of fashion have a formula, if the line to the pan, still die with the formula to walk, then only dead. Ma Yun can go to today, in fact, not to slant Sword Walk, in the final analysis is followed by a word-"change."

Now, in the push of Jack Ma, Ali Group ushered in the history of the largest reorganization of the organization, and Ma is about to put his CEO hat change. For such a change, Ma Yun also dare not confirm is a good move or a recruit sucker, he only can confirm that is "better than no change."

China's successful people are willing to push backwards, which also constitutes a proliferation of successful learning. As long as a person has the "fruit" of success, all of the previous actions will become "cause." However, fortunately, the masters of the change of cause and effect of the conversion is still relatively clear. As Ma said, "Although I am not good at chess, but I know that the next step sucker, do not save, perhaps the reverse is a good move." In Alibaba decade, some people said that Ma Yun you are very good, from Alibaba to Taobao every step is very accurate, but in fact, the beginning is sucker, now seems to be good chess, is to rely on their own step-by-step walk, every day to take action to change and adjust.

Ma Yun's entrepreneurial experience, in fact, "sucker" and many, one of the most well-known step is the acquisition of Yahoo China. Not only lost a lot of equity, but also with Qihoo 360 chairman Zhou got a agitatedly. So many of Alibaba's moves today are paying for this move 7 years ago.

However, shopping malls such as chess, who can say that the son of that year must be sucker? If not 8 years ago Yahoo to Alibaba 1 billion dollars of capital injections, small said, Alibaba is difficult to achieve today's scale, to say, our way of life will be very different, will lose the joy of Taobao, the cheap, Alipay, the security.

And for the payment of equity transfer, MA Yun is also burdened with a huge moral shackles. A "good faith" word, pressure him out of breath. "Well, I Ma Yun is a treacherous person, is contrary to the spirit of the contract." But if I can find someone, I have a total of 30 million or 40 million dollars, but can bring back 15 billion dollars in return, then I would like to find such a perfidious person. Ma said. Now looking back, the authorities, Ma Yun, Jerry Yang has been animosity. Ma Yun at that time this move, even if not the best choice, can calculate the last excellent choice.

8 years ago, the acquisition of Yahoo China, Ma Yun's "point 33", first to protect the dead; 6 years ago, Alibaba Business-to-business listing, is Ma Yun's "head", long sigh of relief; In fact, Ma's Ali's Bureau is close to the tail plate, compared to the start, each drop function is more like, more clear. Thus, onlookers also have the possibility, for Ma Yun, the next biggest drop must be Alibaba overall listing undoubtedly.

In fact, to today's point of view, Ma Yun is no longer the next game, because if the win-win, Jing Dong, suning, etc. still busy doing eye work, far from a scale. Ma Yun, as he claims, is creating an ecological--a perpetual state. He wants to make each of his pieces, and then into a chessboard, and continue to cycle.

However, this is no precedent to follow, I hope the final results can prove that this is a step coup.
