Alibaba seems to have quelled public anger by firing DingTalk CEO Chen Hang, performing a tear jerking battle against Ma Su. However, as a senior executive who is well versed in power struggles, Alibaba has once again resorted to a typical tactic of borrowing a knife to kill. Firstly, the conflict between Chen Hang and Alibaba's senior management has been long-standing. In fact, as early as 2020, Chen Hang had already resigned from DingTalk once. As the biggest contributor to DingTalk's internal entrepreneurship, due to the senior management's strong promotion of the cloud and nail integration strategy, DingTalk was unable to go public independently, seriously damaging Chen Hang's power and interests. He angrily left with his core team to start a new business in intelligent hardware, debuting with a star halo and reaching its peak. I raised a large sum of money.
After Chen Hang left, my department head at the time, Ye Jun, took over from DingTalk and continued to implement the group's senior management's cloud and nail integration strategy. Overall, the performance was also good. By connecting Alibaba Cloud and DingTalk, DingTalk's paid customers grew rapidly.
At this moment, Chen Hang, from the once glorious CEO of DingTalk to a small boss who failed to make a name for himself after running into a useless startup, has been around for 5 years now, and his financing has been almost exhausted. It seems that he really confirms the old saying 'you are nothing without the platform'.
Coincidentally, the trend of AI has arrived, and DingTalk needs a capable player to carry out AI transformation. However, Chen Hang seized the opportunity and brought Alibaba back. Just last year, Alibaba "invited" Chen Hang back as the CEO of DingTalk through the acquisition of his startup company.
As a "rebel general" who had the opportunity to go public independently but was squeezed and angrily left by the group's top management, whether the top management will continue to trust him and whether he will be satisfied with the status quo, there is no need for conspiracy theories at all. Just imagine yourself in these two roles.
In addition, Alibaba has a special term called "double entering the palace" to describe employees who have left and returned. In the company, if someone is labeled as a double entering the palace, they will receive treatment. Hmph, just think about it, just think about it.
