Chapter 283 Under One Person

Lao Ma looked at the resignation letter on the table, but did not pick it up. Instead, he turned to the window with his back to Wang Jian. After a while, he heard him sigh.

"I am planning to train you as the group's CTO. I still believe that cloud computing is the most important department of the group, except for Taobao.

Although there are indeed some criticisms about your department in the company and the work is difficult, but I think your previous performance is qualified and satisfactory. Even if you broke down at the annual meeting, it is human nature and I understand!

It doesn’t matter if most of the people in your department have left now, and it doesn’t matter if Alibaba Cloud has no achievements now. I am looking forward to you in three or five years. I have high expectations for you!

The darkness before dawn is the most difficult to endure, but as long as you persevere, the clouds will clear and the moon will appear! "

Old Ma turned around, his face heavy and his eyes filled with dissatisfaction.

"Dr. Wang, I am actually a little disappointed with your decision."

Wang Jian himself is a psychologist, and he is immune to PUA tactics, so he remained silent.
He immediately walked up to the other party and looked at Wang Jian, who was half a head taller than him, with a look of disappointment.

"Who doesn't have pressure? I have more pressure than you.

Do you know that the board of directors wanted to fire you many times, but I protected you;

Do you know how much pressure I face when the group pays out 10 billion every year?
I originally wanted you to relax so you can regroup and start over, but I didn't expect you to make such a decision!"

Wang Jian still didn't speak
Looking at the gray-haired Wang Jian, Lao Ma's heart softened. He frowned and asked again, "Are you sure you have made up your mind?"

Wang Jian only asked Lao Ma one question: "If I want to set up a company on my own to engage in cloud computing, and you personally contribute 10 billion, will you still support me?"

Silence, silence is the Alibaba president’s office tonight.

The reason why Lao Ma supported Wang Jian before was because he was spending the group’s money, which was the investors’ money.

The reason why Lao Ma is hesitating now is because he really has 10 billion yuan, and he can really afford to pay 10 billion yuan every year.

Wang Jian looked at the man in front of him, who was almost the same age as him and stood at the top of China's Internet, and he sighed secretly with some regret in his heart.

The man whom he thought he had met his mentor, turned out to be less courageous and visionary than that of a young man.

Wang Jian’s mind echoed with a conversation between him and the young man.

“The future of cloud computing is uncertain. After years of research and development, there has been no progress.”

"It doesn't matter!"

“Even if we fail in the end, tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars will be wasted.”

"not regret!"

Although he felt that the other party's answer was a bit hot-blooded and immature, Wang Jian could feel the other party's sincerity and was ultimately moved, which led to this farewell!
"Boss Ma, thank you for your care before. I have decided to leave."

Seeing that his once-successful rhetoric was no longer effective, Lao Ma stopped wasting words and asked, "Who is the next buyer?"

"." Wang Jian was silent. How could you ask this question?

Lao Ma also knew that this sentence was redundant, so he changed the question, "Let's do cloud computing?"

"Um"

"In that case, I wish you good luck, but I have three requirements. First, make sure the handover is done properly! Second, you can't take anything away! Third, you need to sign a non-compete agreement!"

"The first two are reasonable, but the third one."

Knowing what Wang Jian was worried about, Lao Ma comforted him, "Don't worry, as long as you don't go to Baidu or Tengxun, anywhere else will be fine!"

Don’t be fooled by Li Yanhong and Xiao Ma’s disdain for cloud computing. But who knows whether the future of cloud computing will be determined by its physical condition and whether it can play tricks of pretending to build a plank road while secretly attacking Chencang.

Don’t let Wang Jian leave his company and then run to a rival to tinker with cloud computing. That would be a critical blow to Alibaba.

"Well, don't worry, I promise you I won't go!"

"The mountains remain green and the rivers flow forever. When you have experienced many things and look back, you will find that Alibaba is still the most suitable soil for the development of cloud computing!" Ma said to save his reputation.

"I hope so! See you in the future!"

The two men shook hands and Wang Jian left.

Let’s go back to a week ago, in Hangzhou, there was a teahouse.

Chen Mo poured two cups of tea and handed one to Wang Jian. "Dr. Wang, please introduce yourself. I am Chen Mo from the other side!"

"Thank you. What can I do for you?"

Chen Mo looked at this man who would become an academician in the future. He was much more valuable than any other academician of Jiangxiang.

"I want to invite the doctor to help China's cloud computing rise~"

Wang Jian smiled bitterly, somewhat self-deprecatingly. "Huaxia's rise? Do we really have to raise our standards so high?"

"Everyone should have dreams. What if they come true? Bi'an has established a cloud computing company, focusing on the field of cloud computing. I would like to invite you to take the helm!" "I am doing well at Alibaba. I have no plans to change jobs for the time being~"

Seeing that the other party was not willing to give up until he saw the rabbit, Chen Mo directly took out the "chips" he had prepared in advance from his backpack.

"I have heard about what happened to the doctor at Alibaba. I came here in person this time with sincerity. This is the list of current employees of Beyond Cloud Computing. You may want to take a look before making a decision~"

Wang Jian didn't really care. Even if the company has more than 1,000 employees, it doesn't matter. Cloud computing is not a core technology that can be built by numbers. It requires professional talent.
As a result, he saw familiar names one after another on it. Most of them were former employees of Alibaba Cloud. Even his most capable subordinate Wu Hanqing was on the list. Didn’t this guy resign from him years ago to start a business?

Why did he come to the other side to start a business? This made him a little annoyed!
People know Wu Hanqing because of the many rumors circulating in the technology field, such as "he hacked into Alibaba's intranet in just 3 minutes during an interview", "annual salary of 500 million", "Alibaba's youngest security expert", "the man who makes Jack Ma sleep well", etc.

Although these are similar to the rumors about Lei Jun's "cold 40 billion", Wang Jian recognizes Wu Hanqing's skills and abilities. He has his own research and insights on network security and cloud computing. This guy is indeed a technical genius that Wang Jian is very optimistic about.

Wang Jian took a quick look and saw that nearly half of the people in Alibaba Cloud had been contacted by Bi'an. He was a little shocked. "Mr. Chen, what a big deal! Aren't you afraid of Alibaba's legal department?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo calmly took out Zhang Xiaolong's previous report on adding liquidated damages and handed it over. The meaning was self-evident. I don't even care about Nanshan Pizza Hut, so why should I be afraid of this?

"When it comes to talent, the other side is always eager to recruit talent and spares no effort! Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem for me!"

Chen Mo picked up the teacup, blew away the foam on the surface, and drank the tea calmly, showing the demeanor of a great man.

A person who is well-read will naturally be elegant, and the air of wealth and nobility is also nourishing.

Chen Mo’s greatest confidence comes from the company’s financial statements last month. In January, Bi’an Technology’s revenue reached a new high, breaking the 1 billion mark globally!
"Most of the people on Bi'an Cloud Computing are your old subordinates now. The soil has been prepared. Your joining will make Bi'an Cloud a captain. You can let your imagination run wild here without any constraints or criticism. It can be called a paradise far away from the hustle and bustle."

Wang Jian did not comment, but just asked the question that concerned him, "What about R&D investment?"

"I heard that Mr. Ma gave you 10 billion a year. I don't have that much, but I can still come up with 20 billion."

"Time requirement?"

"No requirements! As long as the other side doesn't go bankrupt, I will always be here"

"My right to speak?"

"Under one person!"

Two people quick question and answer
“No regrets.”

After Wang Jian asked the last two key questions and heard the other party's answers, he was shaken.
"If I ask Mr. Chen to invest in cloud computing personally, how much would you invest?"

“I forgot to mention that the equity of Bi’an Technology is not as complicated as that of Alibaba Group. I own more than half of the shares.”

"Mr. Chen, I was talking about you personally, not the company."

Chen Mo thought for a moment, "6 million"

Wang Jian thought of the other party's possible answers, but he didn't expect it to be this answer, "Why 6 million?"

"Because I only have 6 million now!"

After listening to this, Wang Jian's heart was moved again, "If Bi'an Cloud invests tens of billions of dollars and ultimately fails, how will Mr. Chen deal with it in the future?"

Chen Mo smiled, very carefree, "First of all, I don't think we will fail. If one way doesn't work, we can try another one. If it doesn't work in 5 years, maybe it will work in 10 years.

Even if it fails in the end as you said, we will be a pioneer, open source the project, share the experience along the way, and contribute to China's cloud computing industry, so that those who come after us can still catch up."

"I agree to join!"

Huh, you agreed right away? Chen Mo didn't expect it to be so fast. "Well, we haven't even discussed the salary yet, aren't you being too hasty?"

Wang Jian smiled and said, "My mind is full of cloud computing now. Everything else is just a passing cloud to me. I believe Mr. Chen will not let me sleep on the street!"

"Whether you want it or not is your business, and whether I give it or not is my business! So, 10% of the shares of Bi'an Cloud Computing Company, an annual salary of 300 million, a Beijing house, a Beijing car, and a Beijing household registration, all arranged by the company. How do you think this is? Do you have anything else to add?"

"Mr. Chen has the intention, so just do as Mr. Chen says. I have no objection."

"Then I will be in the capital, waiting for you~"

"It's a deal~"

On February 2, an Alibaba netizen broke the news on Zhiyan that an earthquake had occurred within the Alibaba Group, and the Alibaba Cloud Division was in name only. Its head, Dr. Wang Jian, resigned from Alibaba and his whereabouts remain a mystery.

After the revelation, the post caused heated discussion among netizens, especially some netizens who work at Alibaba, who dug out relevant screenshots of the annual meeting before the New Year.

There are various different opinions on the matter, including the palace fighting theory, which says that Wang Jian was bullied in the workplace and was excluded by other departments.

There are conspiracy theorists who say that Ma was forced to abdicate by the board of directors and was forced to execute Ma Su on the battlefield to stop losses.

There are also some experts who explain that although Amazon, Google, Microsoft and others have launched cloud computing one after another, none of them have been implemented yet, and cloud computing is currently just a pseudo-concept.

Various rumors were rife, and even these news were picked up by the media and appeared on major portals.

For a time, Alibaba was caught up in various public opinions, all of which were mocking and criticizing someone for his failure to judge people and his obsession with cloud computing strategy.

The next day, Ali had to issue a statement to set the record straight
