On the evening of August 10, Xiaomi founder Lei Jun delivered an 11th anniversary speech, in which he reviewed the things xiaomi had experienced since its inception and his own mental journey. The long talk, sprinkled with foreign words, touched many netizens. After all, in so much time, Xiaomi mobile phones have become the second in the world, defeating many opponents such as Apple. Once ridiculed, now punched back in the face.
However, what I didn't expect was that in a past event in retrospect, I almost offended people, and it was not an ordinary person who was offended. Lei Jun was looking back at Xiaomi's listing for more than a year, and the stock price was chattering and miserable. An investor came to the door to find Lei Jun and reprimanded Lei Jun for an hour, leaving Lei Jun with no place to look at himself and his shirt was wet.
Just such a detail, it was rumored that this investor is Ali M10 Zhang Ying, that is, Ma Yun's wife. As soon as this news came out, it immediately went viral on the Internet, causing heated discussions. Lei Jun was forced to come out this morning to refute the rumors, saying that he and Zhang Ying were debunking rumors, and the Internet was rumors. Financial Tv Media also asked Ma Yun for verification, and Ma Yun said to report the case immediately. This means that both sides have denied that the investor is not Ma Yun's wife, Zhang Ying.
However, from Lei Jun's response, it can be seen that he deliberately emphasized that the two are friends. In fact, Lei Jun and Ali are related. At the beginning, Ma Yun looked for investment everywhere and found Lei Jun, but Lei Jun refused, because he could not understand it, so he later regretted it. If the two are friends, the relationship should be good, and Zhang Ying may also invest in Lei Jun.
The name Zhang Ying is very unfamiliar to many people, even if it is a current Ali person, it is expected that some people do not know, because she has been retired for many years, silently supporting behind Ma Yun, and being a full-time wife with peace of mind.
Zhang Ying and Ma Yun are college classmates and married after graduation. Ma Yun is a person who loves to toss, after 5 years as a teacher, he went to the sea to start a business, and Zhang Ying unconditionally supported it. At that time, Ma Yun had just started a business, his income was unstable, and he had to rely on Zhang Ying's salary to help.
From 1995 to 1999, Ma Yun experienced many entrepreneurial ventures, all failed, Zhang Ying followed Ma Yun to the south and north, all the way to the road, no complaints, and do a good job in the back office. Even in the early days of Alibaba, the Eighteen Arhats often held meetings at Ma Yun's home, and Zhang Ying was responsible for boiling water for cooking.
Zhang Ying is also one of the eighteen founders of Alibaba, and her level is M10, which is also said to be M11, which shows that her status is very important. However, Zhang Ying's highest position is the general manager of Alibaba, which is indeed not low. Around 2004, Zhang Ying left Ali and returned to the family to become a full-time wife, focusing on taking care of her son.
Ma Yun once said: Without Zhang Ying, there would be no Ali today. It can be seen that Zhang Ying's contribution is not small, but also very powerful. Although after returning to her family, Zhang Ying did not appear in public again, very low-key. But as the Internet says, many business tycoons' property is managed by their wives and invested by them.
After Liu Qiangdong and Zhang Zetian got married, the two did a good job of division of labor, Zhang Zetian was responsible for public welfare and family investment, she also often appeared in various business activities, running for family investment, it can be seen that Liu Qiangdong's personal property is handed over to his wife to take care of.
I believe that Ma Yun is the same, Ma Yun once said that he never brings money and is not interested in money, which shows that the family's money is managed by Zhang Ying. After Alibaba went public in 2014, Ma Yun's shares fell from 7.7% to 4.8%, cashing out a lot, and last year cashed out 43 billion yuan in one go. It will certainly not be put in the bank, it must be used to invest.
In fact, for the rumor that Zhang Ying came to the door to reprimand Lei Jun for an hour, the credibility itself is not high. Xiaomi so many investors, and many are well-known venture capital, the amount of investment is very large, Millet stock price fell, the loss is also their biggest, can reprimand Lei Jun is also them, can not be Zhang Ying. Moreover, as Ma Yun is the richest man in China, Zhang Ying cannot reprimand Lei Jun for this loss.
For the current Ali, it is really an eventful autumn, and there can be no more negative news. Although Ma Yun did not show up, he must also worry about Ali's affairs behind the scenes, after all, this is a business empire he has built single-handedly, and he still wants Ali to live for 102 years.
