In the past few years, major Internet companies represented by Alibaba have often attracted attention for their high-profile annual meeting activities. However, behind the grand occasion of the annual meeting, it often means a huge investment of manpower and material resources. According to CNMO, there was a "grand occasion" of Alibaba's 2017 annual meeting recently, when Alibaba had to book more than 7,000 hotel rooms every day, and a total of 120,000 bottles of mineral water alone were consumed. It is reported that due to the large number of employees in Alibaba, not all employees can participate in the company's annual meeting, and they can only participate through lottery screening.
Jack Ma's annual meeting performance According to reports, in 2017, about 40,000 Alibaba employees from 21 countries and regions around the world gathered in Hangzhou to participate in Alibaba's 18th anniversary "** ceremony". They arrived at the scene on more than 100 flights, 32 high-speed trains and 1,700 buses. In order to accommodate these employees, Ali booked more than 100 hotels and needed to provide more than 7,000 rooms every day. It is reported that during the entire event, a total of 670,000 cultural shirts and more than 120,000 bottles of mineral water. Some people said that this was the largest annual meeting in Hangzhou and even in the history of the Internet at that time.
* Former Alibaba executives who attended the 2017 annual meeting were quoted as saying that the entire Huanglong Sports Center was taken over, and the atmosphere was warm and exciting. In addition to the star performances, Jack Ma also took the stage to deliver the finale speech.
It is reported that in terms of the scale of the annual meeting, Ali himself broke his own record. Two years later, Ali's 20th anniversary annual meeting was held in the Big Lotus Stadium built for the Asian Games in Hangzhou, with 80,000 seats full, and even the football field was full.
The former executive said that the materials used to make the cultural shirts are of high quality, and the cost of one piece is as high as 50 yuan, and this alone has reached millions of yuan, not to mention the transportation, catering and accommodation expenses reimbursed by the company. It is reported that Alibaba also called on local employees on the intranet to receive Alibaba employees from other places.
