After Ma Yun announced on November 29 that Ali would change, Taotian Group, as the core business, had just replaced Alibaba's most powerful woman, Dai Shan. Has 23 employeesMore than 50,000 people, why did Ma Yun choose Wu Yongming?
The appointment of Wu Yongming as the number one position of Alibaba Cloud and Taotian will help lead Taotian's transformation with technological innovation, and help ensure the group's unified command and high-intensity continuous investment in the two strategic priorities of e-commerce and cloud," explained Tsai Chongxin, chairman of the board of directors, in the all-staff letter.
Although Wu Yongming has followed Jack Ma for 27 years and participated in his three start-ups, the public does not know much about him.
Tsinghua PBC Financial EMBA" issued an article in 2016, revealing that Wu Yongming is a fan of Messi and was born in Tonglu, Zhejiang Province in 1975.
In 1996, Wu Yongming graduated from the computer science department of Zhejiang University of Technology, and accidentally saw in the Qianjiang Evening News that a company called China Yellow Pages was recruiting programmers. At that time, there were very few online channels, and the procedures for individual applications were cumbersome.
Finally able to surf the internet without restrictions. The next day, 21-year-old Wu Yongming went to the interview with a floppy disk, which contained several small programs written by himself.
Meeting the 32-year-old Jack Ma for the first time, Wu Yongming was impressed by his business vision and vision. Wu Yongming, who understands technology and the Internet, and the funny Ma Yun hit it off at first sight. He immediately joined Jack Ma's team to do technology development.
The following year, Ma Yun went north and served as the general manager of "Guofutong", developing the official ** of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and the online Canton Fair and other products. Wu Yongming, who grew up in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, resolutely followed Ma Yun to Beijing and was in charge of programming.
At that time, more than a dozen people were assigned to different dormitories, and each dormitory elected a "parent". Wu Yongming spoke slowly and leisurely, with a bit of Jiangsu and Zhejiang accents, and was chosen as a parent by the other three naughty people, jokingly called "Wu Ma".
Later, Ma Yun withdrew from Beijing to Hangzhou and started his third venture. Wu Yongming turned down the high-paying opportunity to stay in Beijing and followed him back to Hangzhou.
The youngest "Eighteen Arhats" is known as the East Evil
In February 1999, in the lakeside garden of Hangzhou, Ma Yun, Wu Yongming and 16 other people jointly pooled 500,000 yuan in the form of shares to establish Alibaba, Wu Yongming was the first programmer of Alibaba.
Ali employees can register their names, and Wu Yongming preemptively registered "East Evil" and "West Poison". In Jin Yong**, the "Eastern Evil" Huang Yaoshi is a top master, with extraordinary martial arts and enthusiasm in his heart. He has always kept the "East Evil", and the "West Poison" has been given to his colleagues.
Mama Wu likes to listen and rarely diss others. An investor said that once when he was talking about the project, he suddenly coughed, but Wu Yongming did not urge, but politely handed over the mineral water.
Among Alibaba's early employees, Ma Yun took the initiative to match at least two couples, one of which was Wu Yongming and his wife.
For a long time after that, Wu Yongming participated in the key technical business related to Alibaba's "money bag".
Wu Yongming has successively served as the technical director of **Net** and the technical director of Alipay, and is the promoter of the advent of mobile phones and the founder of Alimama's core cash flow business.

Gather the three CEOs to open the AI era of Alibaba
On June 20 this year, when Daniel Zhang announced that he would step down on September 10 and Wu Yongming became the CEO of Alibaba Group, the industry asked: Why Wu Yongming?
Ali's old employees recalled a past event, in 2007, in order to decide "whether to let Alimama return" Ma Yun organized a vote, and Wu Yongming, who brought up Alimama with one hand, voted in favor. "He doesn't protect food, he doesn't have mountaineering. ”
On September 12, Wu Yongming, the new official, issued an all-staff letter, announcing that Alibaba Group has established two strategic priorities: user-first and AI-driven, and at the same time carrying out a reform of the management team to rejuvenate.
In November, Wu Yongming disclosed Alibaba's new strategic plan for the first time, pointing out Alibaba's three core directions in the next ten years: technology-driven Internet platform business, AI-driven technology business, and global business network. "No matter how successful you have been in the past, you have to turn the page back and awaken the mentality of starting a new business. ”
Wu Yongming proposed that AI-driven is to create the most open cloud in the AI era, AI-driven and public cloud first.
Wu Yongming quickly adjusted the business management team of Alibaba Cloud, bringing out 1688, Xianyu, DingTalk, and Quark as the first batch of strategic-level innovative businesses, and also announced two strategic retreats, one is that the complete spin-off of Alibaba Cloud Intelligence Group will not be promoted, and the other is the suspension of Hema Fresh's IPO.
On the evening of November 29, Ma Yun cheered up employees on the intranet, saying that the era of AI e-commerce has just begun, and it is both an opportunity and a challenge for everyone.
But it is obvious that the market environment faced by Wu Yongming is not comfortable: Pinduoduo has been standing on the consumer side for 8 years since its establishment, and has rapidly surpassed Ali from the early "chopping a knife" to "tens of billions of subsidies", and now to the strong implementation of "refund without return". ByteDance, which has entered the e-commerce industry from short ** and live broadcast, is also in hot pursuit.
Even though there is one of Ali's values, "the only constant is change", the three major personnel adjustments this year still make everyone feel the anxiety of traditional e-commerce bosses.
* The Double 12 event was cancelled and changed to "**Year-end Good Price Festival", and it is said that Wu Yongming is behind the scenes. Taotian has just finished sorting out the AI business, closing it from 20 teams to 4, and releasing the large-scale model product "Xingchen" internally. The AI team of the International Digital Business Group currently has more than 100 people....
Wu Yongming has opened Ali's AI era, and has adjusted the core managers of Taotian in a whirlwind, the youngest "Eighteen Arhats", with all the young Zhuang faction, will Ali be reborn quickly?See.
