Why did Jack Ma break up Ali?
We saw that on the first day that Ma Yun returned to China, he demolished Ali by thunderous means, and many people were discussing it, but there are really not many people who can really understand Ma Yun's heart.
This is the result of his practice in seclusion and thinking for two years, of course, it is not so simple, let's guess today.
Jack Ma, face the fear in your heart
Ma Yun is also a person, he has gone abroad in the past two years, far from the world, will he feel lost? There definitely is. Will he feel lost? There must be too, this is what normal people should have, not to mention that Ma Yun is a person with rich feelings.
After controlling Alibaba for twenty years, Jack Ma's feelings and desire to control this company must be extremely strong.
When he left Alibaba, he must have felt all the time, is Alibaba also away from him?
For Chinese entrepreneurs, especially the first generation of entrepreneurs, their inner concern about the loss of control of the enterprise must be great, not to mention that Ma Yun is still so young, energetic and active.
Perhaps the times are reluctant to Ma Yun, Alibaba has hit the iceberg of the times in the past two years, and various situations have been one after another, which must have aggravated Ma Yun's inner worries.
Most importantly, Alibaba's centralized system makes Ma Yun feel that this company is getting farther and farther away from him, and even more and more strange, which may be an illusion, but the illusion will become a real pain over time.
The best way is to dismantle Alibaba, from centralization to decentralization, and the division of princes, so that the old emperor can continue to control the world.
Coincidentally, not long ago, Ant Group also carried out decentralization, and several natural person shareholders jointly controlled the company.
This confirms that to defeat his inner fear, this is the first important result of Ma Yun's two years of thinking.
If the first outcome was just a matter of internal governance, the second outcome of his thinking was the more deadly danger of the giant.
An important prerequisite for Ali to live for 102 years
As we all know, the Internet is connected by the virtual world, and this special world has many blind spots, so when Alibaba grows up and spans multiple industries, it will naturally produce monopolies, and even many dark things quietly breed.
In a highly centralized model, if you use a set of management systems to manage such a large group and operate different business formats, on the one hand, the power of the group must not reach the place, and you cannot prevent the occurrence of risks; On the other hand, one model cannot accommodate all sub-groups and their complex formats.
In the past few years, the state's anti-monopoly and anti-disorderly expansion of capital have made Ma Yun even more vigilant, if Alibaba wants to live for 102 years, it must not become the target of national defense or even punishment, it must become a model student of the Internet.
It's not that China's management climate has changed, but the global economic environment has become more difficult, China's economy has become more difficult, the people have become more difficult, the times have become more difficult, so the most important thing is that everyone must get through the difficulties together.
Therefore, the dismantling of Alibaba is an inevitable result, on the one hand, it is more flexible in management and operation, and better adapts to this uncertain and complex and changeable era. More importantly, Alibaba must be healthier and more compliant if it wants to live 102 years as Ma said.
Ma Yun was away for two years, feeling the stormy waves of the world and listening to the wind in China, and he knew in his heart that if Alibaba did not change itself, there would be external forces to change it.
By that time, I am afraid that Alibaba will no longer be what it was, or even Ma's Alibaba.
So this time Jack Ma's quick knife fell, and Alibaba must be dismantled.
Some may ask, is Ma distrustful of the capabilities of Daniel Zhang and successor teams?
This is certainly not a question of Daniel Zhang's competence, much less trust.
Identifying trends, thinking deeply, and taking the initiative to change is the secret of Jack Ma's success.
So, we can make a bold prediction that Alibaba and Ant Group will still be at the forefront of the tide in the next decade.
They were lucky because of Jack Ma.
