Chapter 1124 Taking the Blame and Resigning (4K)
Regarding Ali and Mr. Fang, this is a multi-platform, multi-angle and often contradictory melon.
Some people presuppose their position innately, thinking that Mr. Fang has played the role of a mastermind behind the scenes.
Some people think it is impossible, no matter how rich Mr. Fang is, whether Ali is chaotic or not, it is all up to Mr. Ma to decide.
There are also people who just feel happy. Users and consumers don’t care what these big companies are like. They just take whatever benefits they have and enjoy themselves. As for the truth, that’s not important.
However, in view of the public opinion's speculation that the other party always plays a role in it, Yike is quite sure inside, whether it is overturned or not, it will always believe in Mr. Fang's subjective initiative.
Because Mr. Fang is a person who attaches great importance to initiative and deeply practices it.
What's more, with the official promotion of the Yike Compliance Department, the existence of the Six Meridians Sword has made everyone more and more sure that Fang will always follow the other way, and there are some operations in this matter.
However, everyone's discussions in the company and social media were stopped internally by the PR department, and the reason was not very clear. After being questioned many times, a deputy director threw out the reason of "violating the corporate culture".
introduce a...
What is Yike's corporate culture?
Keep progressing, technology for good.
It seems that discussing the boss's deeds is really not conducive to progress and goodness.
Everyone reluctantly accepts this kind of control, and when they encounter topics of interest on the Internet, they switch their accounts consciously, and they no longer engage in passionate discussions on internal emails.
The trend of public opinion was dispelled by jokes, Ali's investigation was temporarily silent, Yike's business entered a busy period again, and the enthusiasm within the company quickly declined.
The time is approaching May, and Yike is indeed very busy. On the one hand, the preparations for the new machine in June, on the other hand, the competition between Yixin and Penguin has been increasing, and the ecological business including group buying is also rising. This time, a few people will be punished and the incident will be declared over. Naturally, the temporary enthusiasm cannot be maintained.
However, as the progress of Guan Mingsheng's independent investigation team deepened, many people in the Ali Group had a premonition that the turmoil would not be so easily subsided.
Sales, supervisors, regional managers, regional general managers, small political commissars, major political commissars, sales VP, COO, CEO... All levels of the entire Alibaba B2B were investigated, and many people were interviewed accompanied by their superiors.
On April 4, as the chilling atmosphere continued to permeate, Ali B30B COO Li Xuhui approached Wei Zhe and submitted his resignation.
Wei Zhe was shocked.
Li Xuhui is the chief operating officer of B2B and is in charge of the entire Chinese supply team.
At the beginning, Li Xuhui had left the company and was recuperating in Shanghai. It was Ma Dian who specially invited Li Xuhui back to form a partner with him, considering that Wei Zhe had no experience in front-line sales.
In the past two years, the cooperation between Wei Zhe and Li Xuhui has been very good.
Therefore, facing Li Xuhui's resignation letter, he said that he would not approve it.
"Why is this so?" Wei Zhe didn't think this matter should end with the COO's resignation.
"I originally wanted to work for two or three years before leaving." Li Xuhui said that he had planned for a long time, but his expression and tone were very serious. "Someone needs to be responsible for this matter, and I am duty-bound."
"We have already dealt with and cleared the black merchants, and have established relevant mechanisms." Wei Zhe said, "Why should you be responsible for this? I believe the group's investigation will have a fair result."
Li Xuhui was silent for a moment: "I have already sent the boss a resignation message."
Wei Zhe couldn't help asking, "What did he say?"
Li Xuhui shook his head: "He didn't reply."
Wei Zhe frowned and said, "No, Eagle King, I won't criticize this matter. The boss also depends on the results of the investigation. What's the matter with you leaving now? You resigned, and you're here to help me take the blame?"
He is the CEO, and the COO resigned at this juncture, which directly took all the responsibilities.
Wei Zhe couldn't do such a thing.
He didn't believe that things were so serious.
"I want to leave in two years anyway, and I have already left the company." Li Xuhui rubbed his face, looked up at Wei Zhe, and said solemnly, "I heard some news, the following situation may be worse than we imagined. Be serious."
Wei Zhe was stunned: "How serious is it?"
Li Xuhui shook his head, but did not answer.
After a while, he slowly said: "B2B has reached a time when it must be transformed. The growth of the entire business's customer base will soon slow down, and the transformation of group buying cannot be stopped."
This is the consensus between him and Wei Zhe that the group buying market is very suitable for the transformation and advancement of B2B.
Based on the current situation, personal status, and the need for transformation, Li Xuhui would rather use his resignation as the end of this turmoil.
Wei Zhe was astonished and shocked. First, he didn't expect the situation to be so serious, and second, he suddenly thought of his previous thoughts.
In order to promote the transformation of B2B to group buying, he used Yike + Mituan to lobby the high-level will, and wanted to use Mr. Fang's knife to promote the policy.
Now it seems that Mr. Fang is indeed a sharp knife, but instead of holding the handle, he holds the tip of the knife in his hand.
Wei Zhe didn't ask Li Xuhui what he heard. Now everything depends on the conclusion of the independent investigation team.
He just said calmly after a while of thinking: "Since the situation is beyond expectations, Eagle King, maybe the right to decide whether you will stay or not is in my hands."
"This is the end of the matter, just wait for the results of the investigation to come out."
Li Xuhui glanced at Wei Zhe, but did not take back his resignation: "Don't resign, if you resign, it will be just as Fang Zhuo wanted."
Wei Zhe put his hand on the table, and said a few simple words: "I will try my best."
A few days passed quickly, and the general managers and political commissars of the major regions all returned to Lin'an during the May Day holiday.
Wei Zhe's vacation was extremely trance-like, with one moment in his mind about the situation at the grassroots level, another about the transformation of group buying, one about Eagle King's resignation, and one about the actions he needed to take.
If it is really an extremely serious situation, what should I do?
Also resign and leave the company?
Or downgrade and transfer, change departments and positions?
Wei Zhe had a very realistic consideration, and he had to start thinking about it.
However, the progress of the independent investigation was faster than he had imagined, and the conclusion was reached before the end of the May Day holiday.
On the afternoon of May 5th, Ma Dian presided over the group's high-level meeting. Guan Mingsheng, Jiang Fang and other high-level executives were present, and all the general managers and political commissars of B4B's major regions were also present.
On behalf of the independent investigation team, Guan Mingsheng notified the investigation results.
Internal and external collusion, about 100 salespersons and executives, have intentionally or negligently allowed black merchants to bypass internal certification and opened international online stores to defraud buyers.
In addition, about 400 employees knew about the situation and did not report it.
The entire Chinese supply team is 5000 people.
According to the current investigation, there are two external fraudulent groups, and 80% of black merchants come from them.
They have carried out organized and systematic fraud, not only dragging front-line employees into the water, but also sending people to apply for sales and break into the company.
Guan Mingsheng gave a conclusion: "The separation of the new renewal, the gale action, and the 32% commission system have completely changed the sales system of China Supply, which has led to the team's goal becoming 'the first is the number of customers, the second is the number of customers, and the third is the number of customers. number'."
"China Supply, a valuable platform that has accumulated for 10 years, is now being sold at a low price by salesmen. They no longer emphasize the value of China Supply, but use exports to get money like 'less a pack of Chinese cigarettes a day' to attract customers."
"Among them, there is a sign of crisis in this team. The top management puts interests first and handles the life-and-death crisis with a management approach. The major incidents are reduced to minor ones, and the opportunity to curb the spread of the situation is missed."
After Guan Mingsheng's report was over, his voice disappeared, but what he said shook everyone's hearts.
The investigation by the investigation team disclosed many details, including the fraudulent Xiangjiang pass provided by employees. In the end, Guan Mingsheng's spearhead has clearly pointed at the top of B2B.
100 employees were involved, 400 employees did not report to the public, and individual supervisors also deteriorated.
From the perspective of personnel ratio alone, this adds up to as high as 10%.
Black businessmen can never be controlled, they will come chasing profit, but someone needs to be responsible for the problems of internal employees, at least, how to explain so many unreported information?
Team building, value system, where are these still?
When Guan Mingsheng was halfway through speaking, Wei Zhe's face turned pale. This was something he never knew, and when he looked at COO Li Xuhui, he found that his expression was equally astonished.
When Guan Mingsheng finished speaking, Wei Zhe's mood calmed down strangely. His simple explanation and blame-taking were shattered by what he heard for the first time.
Even the Yike factors of competition that he considered, including Mr. Fang's role in this incident, he couldn't say anything at all.
At this moment, mentioning external factors is tantamount to shirking responsibility.
No matter what Wei Zhe feels, he is also a responsible person.
There was no sound in the meeting room for a long time.
Wei Zhe took the initiative to stand up and said: "I am responsible for this matter. This is not a local problem, but a systemic problem. The responsibility lies entirely with me. I resign."
The horse is about to speak.
Wei Zhe said before he could speak: "I have made a decision and I hope the board of directors will accept my resignation, but I want to say that the team of China Supply Chain Supply Co., Ltd. is excellent. In Mr. Guan's investigation report, only a few supervisors have problems. I haven't heard of any of the managers being involved."
"I hope the group will take good care of this team in the next steps."
He finally said again: "I resign."
Li Xuhui also stood up after Wei Zhe finished speaking, and said simply: "I also have the responsibility. I have been pursuing performance growth and neglected team building. I will also resign."
The CEO and COO of Ali B2B both resigned on the spot.
For a moment, all the high-level executives present had complex expressions, and their eyes quickly focused on Ma Dian, the head of the house.
Ma Dian was in a conflicted mood.
He had read this report from the independent investigation team in advance, and the content was also unexpected.
Since the financial crisis, the performance growth and the increase in the number of employees have undoubtedly impacted the team building and the operation of the system, which led to the problem of 100+400.
Fraud is always inevitable, but the internal situation can be said to be shocking.
Ma Dian is a very decisive person, but at this moment he is also hesitant.
He looked sideways at Guan Mingsheng, Jiang Fang and the others.
Guan Mingsheng showed no expression, but Jiang Fang and Peng Lei had tears in their eyes. Ali has developed so far, and the entire B2B business is the big brother. The current situation has never happened before.
Ma Dian's hesitation faded away, and he also stood up.
He is the last hurdle to defend the entire company's operation and value system.
In fact, all the black merchants under investigation have already been cleared, and the investigation will not affect the current business of Ali B2B, but the result of its investigation is that internal diseases have already grown.
If you don't deal with B2B today, if you don't knock the mountain, how will you deal with Taobao tomorrow?How to deal with Alipay the day after tomorrow?
Not only does someone need to be responsible for this, but it also needs to generate deterrence.
Today, my younger brother calls me Big Brother, I won’t kill you, how many brothers will call me Big Brother from now on?
Ma Dian is not a big brother.
He said: "This B2B stall is messed up. This is a problem that everyone needs to be alert to."
Ma Dian no longer looked at Wei Zhe and Li Xuhui, but turned to look at more shocked and confused executives at the scene, and raised his voice: "It is not easy to do things, and the most difficult thing is to be a human being. In this investigation, we can see It’s not just that things have gone wrong, it’s more that people’s basic values have changed.”
"We must always insist on doing the right thing and shaping the right values."
"I accept the resignation of Wei Zhe and Li Xuhui in principle on behalf of the board of directors."
Ma Dian made a decision.
There was a commotion.
Ma Den didn't speak, and the commotion fell silent again.
Wei Zhe and Li Xuhui didn't say anything, and left the conference room, they had finished their mission here.
The meeting didn't last long either.
Although Wei Zhe spoke for the entire team when he resigned, intending to end the turmoil on his own resignation, the subsequent processing will continue. Ma Dian also stated that he must seriously defend the company's value system.
CEO and COO take the blame and resign.
Relevant investigations are still severe.
At the end of a meeting, the B2B executives were the most shocked and even numb. Brother and Eagle King are gone?
Several regional general managers and political commissars went straight to Eagle King's office without saying a word. Li Xuhui was the person in charge of the entire team and the leader who convinced everyone.
However, when they reached the office door, they were stopped.
"He, he's crying inside."
At the door was a middle-level manager who did not attend the meeting but was also recalled to Lin'an, his face was also full of shock.
Political commissar Zhang Weihua squatted at the door of the office, touching his face, still unable to calm down, how could it be so serious?Why did they all take the blame and resign?
My brother and Eagle King are gone, what about us?
The others quickly squatted down as well, silently waiting for the Eagle King inside to sort out their emotions.
Zhang Weihua was silent for a long time, and said everyone's aspirations: "Why is this so?"
Obviously, they are all black merchants who have been cleared, why did they become like this?
After a long time, his mind suddenly resurfaced in the communication between his elder brother and Eagle King in the first half month, about the company's transformation and the strategy of entering group buying.
Can this situation continue?
Zhang Weihua couldn't help making a judgment, and the transformation might not be possible for a while.
Immediately, he thought of the biggest beneficiary of this result.
Yike, rice balls.
The entire group buying market has both funds and teams.
Zhang Weihua's expression was numb, Fang Zhuo forced Wei Zhe to kill, and the gangster died.
Could it be that Mr. Ma and the others couldn't think of it?Why should loved ones be hurt and enemies be quickened?
What is this!
