2065438+May 2005, Ma Yun stamped him with the "handsome seal" of CEO Ali. Now, he is "hand-picked" as Ma Yun's successor, becoming the chairman of the board of directors of Alibaba Group and taking office next year. Ma Yunban is probably one of the most difficult classes in the world. Because it is not only the inheritance of "technique" or "Tao", it inherits Ali's values. Ma Yun and Zhang Yong have completely different behavior styles. One is unconstrained style, and the other is warm, calm and rational. Ma Yun said, "Let there be no difficult business in the world." Zhang Yong said, "In the era of digital economy, there is no hard business in the world. Ma Yun shot a wild boar on the mountain alone, but missed one shot, which angered the wild boar. As soon as he threw the gun, he let go and ran away. He pulled out the firewood knife from his waist and the entrepreneur rushed forward desperately. Ma Yun is a wild boar and a desperate man. Zhang Yong is a professional manager, but he dares to take responsibility and rush at desperate people. He didn't want to be a boss, so he became a boss, because the former is a position and the latter is recognition. Because only if you have the courage to make decisions that others can't make, can you have the courage to take on responsibilities that others can't make. The person who can't handle resources is the boss, so a "talent ladder and a succession system that has been developed repeatedly" has been formed.
Zhang Yong is one of the most diligent people in Alibaba. He works more than ten hours a day, even more than 18 hours. I learned from the reception desk that Dong Wenhong, CFO of the group and chairman of Cainiao Network, said, "I think I have worked hard, but much harder than me. Dedication and hard work have always been the symbol of "Zhang Yong", just like the first day. It seems that he is used to it. He has exercised his patience and thinking ability which are different from ordinary people. He used to live a well-behaved life. Zhang Yong thinks that he is essentially unorthodox. Ali let me find the real me and let me do valuable things with others. So, I think this is why Ma Yun gave Ali to him.
As Ali's economy grows larger and larger, Zhang Yong's burden becomes heavier and heavier. Although Ali's reform is successful, he is still worried about missing the next opportunity. The longer it takes, the harder it is to turn back. Many brilliant giants have fallen because of repeated innovation. Walking on thin ice, he said, "You have to get up at any time. Sleep with your eyes open and keep innovating ",so Zhang Yong worked hard and shouldered the heavy responsibility of Alibaba.
