Two bloody promotion
If it were not for Peng Lei's own words, many people would not believe that her two promotions at Alibaba were actually such horrible blood.
Peng Lei, we don't need to introduce more, right? She is one of the eighteen arhats in the early days of Alibaba's startup and the longest-term CEO in Alipay history.
After the listing of Ant Group, Peng Lei will surpass Jack Ma to become the biggest beneficiary of Ant's listing. With the shares of Ant Group, Peng Lei's net worth will exceed 140 billion, which also means that she is likely to surpass the current richest woman by then—— Yang Huiyan of Country Garden became the new richest man in China.
Speaking of Peng Lei's two promotions at Alibaba, it is very interesting.
Peng Lei's first promotion was in Lakeside Garden. At that time, she was going to interview someone. At this time, Ma Yun happened to come to see her. Ma Yun said you were going for an interview. Why didn't you even have a Title on your business card? manager! Then immediately print a manager's business card tomorrow. This is Peng Lei's first promotion.
After another year, Jack Ma came to Peng Lei's office again and told her, why are you still a manager? Now the company has more than 100 people, director! Tomorrow, I will print a box of business cards. In this way, Peng Lei becomes the director of Alibaba's human resources department.
These two promotions are indeed a little bit bloody from the plot, but if you understand it carefully, this is not the case at all.
Ma Yun’s two promotions to Peng Lei seem to have said casually, but it is obvious that they have been carefully considered and have been tailored for Peng Lei based on Alibaba’s development. This shows that Ma Yun’s Lei's abilities are well understood.
Secondly, through this incident, Jack Ma also demonstrated a superb leadership art: to properly elevate the subordinates who are capable and trustworthy, so that the subordinates can keep up with their own footsteps, and can inspire the gratitude and responsibility of the subordinates. Not to mention, Jack Ma is really good at employing people.
And why Jack Ma trusts Peng Lei so much? This involves Peng Lei's three teams at Alibaba.
The team that changed fate three times
The turning point of life begins to stand in line. Sometimes, standing in line can really change your destiny.
At Alibaba, Peng Lei also experienced three teams that changed his fate.
Standing in the team for the first time, between the university teacher and his lover, he chose to fight with Sun Tongyu as a family member of the army.
Ma Yun first met Sun Tongyu and then Peng Lei, who was then Sun Tongyu's girlfriend.
By the way, after graduating from university, the lean and lean Sun Tongyu ran business on the edge of the West Lake for a while. Once he met Ma Yun and wanted to fool Ma Yun over to do business together. The result was just reversed: After a long conversation, Sun Tongyu was trapped by Ma Yun, who was able to talk about it. So, Sun Tongyu resolutely resigned from the original company and decided to follow Ma Yun to the imperial capital to break new ground.
At that time, Peng Lei, who was Sun Tongyu's girlfriend, was the same as Ma Yun, a university teacher, and the most rare golden rice bowl in the world.
Many years later, Peng Lei talked about Ma Yun she saw when she first went to Alibaba: At that time, a thin man rushed in and shouted: We have to go to protect the fish. We have been boating from Taizhou, Zhejiang. , Which is closer to protecting the Diaoyu Islands in the past!
After knowing that Sun Tongyu was going north with Ma Yun, Peng Lei resolutely gave up his career as a university teacher. As a new member of Alibaba, he moved to Beijing with Sun Tongyu. This was Peng Lei's first team in life.
After working hard in Beijing for many years, Jack Ma and his party achieved nothing. So, after paying a last visit to the Great Wall, Ma Yun took the original team back home and returned to the lakeside garden to start a new business.
At that time, Peng Lei was 30 years old, and she was faced with the second choice in her life: whether to find another career or keep holding a monthly salary of 500 yuan with Ma Yun to the end?
After that happened, she firmly chose to continue to follow Ma Yun to start a business.
It turned out that once Peng Lei and Jack Ma met with an important investor. The other party’s terms included a restriction on Ali, but even Peng Lei felt that such restrictions would have minimal impact on Ali. Considering the time Ali doesn't have much money on the books, and Jack Ma can completely sign the investment. However, Jack Ma still felt that this clause conflicted with Ali's principles, and finally gave up the investment.
From Peng Lei's point of view, the impact of this incident on her was severe, and it also made her understand that Ma Yun is a person with a bottom line when facing the temptation of money. Such a person has unlimited predecessors.
Ma Yun's "Hold the bottom line, be good at the knife" was still seen by Peng Lei in the bloody layoffs that followed: Around 2002, the Internet bubble burst faster than imagined. In desperation, Ali must cut off the Silicon Valley and Hong Kong branches as soon as possible. After the two companies shut down, Jack Ma asked a colleague on the phone: "Do you think I'm a bad guy?"
For Peng Lei's third team standing between the boss and her husband, he finally chose the boss.
In 2003, Jack Ma gave Sun Yutong and his team a special task: return to the lakeside garden to secretly build a Taobao project. In a few years, Taobao’s sales have reached tens of billions. Just as Sun Yutong was preparing to make strides towards the goal of 100 billion, he received a letter of appointment and dismissal of personnel, and Peng Lei, the human resources boss, knew in advance. Yes, but because of the organizational principles, Sun Yutong didn't reveal a single bit in advance.
From Peng Lei’s point of view, she did this to protect Alibaba’s interests and to show strong organizational discipline, but from Sun Yutong’s point of view, she was the one who was played the most miserably, and it hurt him. Too deep.
Because of this incident, Sun Yutong and Lei divorced, but more than ten years later, the two remarried. When talking about this process many years later, Peng Lei said: We have a lot of common interests. We have experienced the stumbling and stumbling of marriage, but we still appreciate each other. . . "
Sometimes, choice is more important than ability!
It now appears that Peng Lei's achievements in Alibaba have two main points.
First of all, after taking over Alipay, it will be cultivated into Alibaba's pillar asset-Ant Financial, and it has also prepared the confidence for Ant Group to become independent from Alibaba.
Second, assume the role of Alibaba's general political commissar and unify Alibaba's values.
And Peng Lei's experience also illustrates one sentence: never came here especially when you were at the peak, and never left when you were down.
We all know that Alibaba is now a world-class Internet company. However, Alibaba in the early days of its business was struggling and almost couldn't survive many times in the middle.
In 1999, when everyone was eating instant noodles in residential houses, Ma Yun uttered a big word to Luohan 18: We want to be the greatest company in the world. At that time, even Peng Lei thought Ma Yun was talking big words, and he was at a loss and didn't feel interested.
In the early days of Alibaba’s startup, Jack Ma was in charge of financing. Jack Ma happily said to everyone every time he came back: Today he rejected a venture capital. Years later, Peng Lei understood the meaning of this statement: it was not Jack Ma who rejected others, but It was someone else who rejected Jack Ma. Jack Ma went outside to raise funds, and he failed 38 times!
But Peng Lei found that Jack Ma can still consider strategic layout for running such a company that lacks money.
Therefore, in such a dangerous situation, Jack Ma continued to motivate employees with the mouth that was kissed by the heavens, and kept drawing pie for everyone: in the future we will all take shares, drive luxury cars, live in villas...
What's even more rare is that Peng Lei is always present in so many difficult moments of Alibaba.
Because he believed in Jack Ma, he chose Alibaba; because he was convinced that Jack Ma had a bottom line in life and things, she chose to unify Alibaba's values, and also because she was right with Jack Ma, she would become the richest woman in Asia.
Just like Jack Ma said: I believe in two tenets, attitude is more important than ability, and choice is also more important than ability!
