Chapter 559 Ali Company New Department

All the employees in Ali Company heard the news that Boss Ma hired an expert from the outside with a high salary and came back to open a new department.

Some well-informed people know that this newly established department mainly researches and develops cloud computing.

Cloud computing, since Lin Feng brought it up at the Internet Conference, Boss Ma has been urging all departments of Alibaba to mobilize like a demon, all for laying the foundation for this department.

Boss Ma has repeatedly emphasized at the high-level meeting of Ali Company that in the next three years, all decisions made by this department will be handled with special measures by all departments, and the green light will pass.

At the same time, in order to prepare for the establishment of this new department, Boss Ma asked all departments to investigate the integration of elite technicians into this department, and at the same time, he was recruiting a large number of talents from strong computer schools across the country.

Alibaba's funds have been very tight in the past year.

Before engaging in the subsidy war, they had already borrowed a large sum of money.

Fortunately, Taobao later went public and raised a sum of money, so the Alibaba company reluctantly supported it.

However, because Ali Company is involved in too many businesses, even with the money raised from Taobao’s listing, it seems a bit of a drop in the bucket.

However, under such circumstances, Boss Ma still allocated one billion yuan to the new department directly for three years. From this, it can be seen how firm Boss Ma's determination to cloud computing is.

Inside President Ali's office, Boss Ma was leaning over the table looking at the documents, when there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Old Cai, come in quickly."

Boss Ma heard the voice, looked up towards the door, and saw Cai Xin standing at the door.

Boss Ma quickly stood up and walked towards the sofa next to him, while picking up a document on the desktop.

"Look at this document."

As soon as Cai Xin sat down on the sofa, Boss Ma handed him the document in his hand, and then began to boil water to make tea.

In the office at this time, there was only the sound of Boss Ma making tea, while Cai Xin looked down at the document.

This document was handed in by Dr. He, mainly about the architectural concept of cloud computing.

Dr. He is the person in charge of the cloud computing department invited by Ali Company.

"Need such a large investment?"

After reading the document, Cai Xin raised his head and looked at Boss Ma suspiciously.

Cai Xin was very confused about the investment in building a cloud computing system mentioned in the document. After all, he had never been exposed to this aspect before, so it was the first time he knew about this situation.

Boss Ma nodded slightly, and then put a cup of tea in front of Cai Xin.

"I have talked with Dr. He before, and he told me that this is very likely to be an initial investment. In the later stage, no one knows how much it will be invested."

At this time, Cai Xin saw a wry smile on Boss Ma's face.

"Old Ma, in fact, the revenue of Ali Company in the past two years has not been very good, or we can postpone this plan for a while."

When Cai Xin said this, he paused for a moment, staring at the expression on Boss Ma's face, observing the other party's attitude towards his words.

"At present, few companies in our country have begun to study this cloud computing, so even if we postpone it for a few years, it will not have a great impact on the company's development."

After listening to Cai Xin's words, Boss Ma stopped what he was doing, and then raised his head to look at Cai Xin.

"Old Cai, what's wrong with you today, what you said just now is a bit out of your style?"

After being questioned by Boss Ma like this, Cai Xin did not intend to beat around the bush.

"Old Ma, I'll just say it straight."

"When we engaged in price subsidies before, many shareholders were dissatisfied. After all, in the eyes of those people, we were wasting their money."

Boss Ma stopped doing it when he heard this, and said directly: "What's wrong with them, the money is all invested by us, did they take the money out?"

"How dare they have an opinion? I'm not happy with them."

When Cai Xin heard Boss Ma's words, there was a hint of embarrassment and a wry smile on his face.

"But you also know that after all, the shareholders have opinions now."

"Later, when Taobao went public, the stock price kept falling. Although the shareholders didn't say anything, they were talking about it in private."

If he hadn't heard what Cai Xin said, Boss Ma would not have known such a situation.

"What are they talking about?" Boss Ma asked in a deep voice.

Cai Xin showed a look of embarrassment on his face, glanced at Boss Ma, and then said slowly: "They all think you are not suitable for managing the company."

As soon as Cai Xin's words fell, Boss Ma immediately stood up and cursed, but Cai Xin didn't dare to say anything at this time, but sat quietly on the sofa and waited for Boss Ma to vent his anger.

"In fact, no matter what they think, I think your views are correct, but your views are a bit ahead of this era, so they cannot be accepted by them."

Cai Xin saw that Boss Ma had almost vented, so he quickly asked him to sit down, and quickly comforted Boss Ma.

"Actually, you don't have to be so angry. Anyway, we have the largest voting power in the board of directors. Even if they have something in their hearts for you, they can't do anything to you."

Boss Ma felt better when he heard Cai Xin's words, and drank the hot tea on the table in one gulp.

"They are all short-sighted people, and they don't look at how many times I have made the company bigger and how much money I have made from them since they took a stake in our company."

Hearing Boss Ma's words, Cai Xin was a little afraid to answer.

After all, those shareholders are his bosses no matter what.

"I read the proposal. Dr. He said that the time for research and development will vary?"

Cai Xin quickly changed the subject and asked with the plan in his hand.

Boss Ma's attention was diverted when Cai Xin asked him this question.

"Dr. He also has no idea. After all, there is no precedent in this area in China, so he doesn't know how long it will take to develop the results."

After Boss Ma finished speaking, he sighed slightly.

"Old Cai, do you think I'm so obsessed with cloud computing, is it right or wrong?"

Boss Ma held his head in his hands, scratching his hair in worry.

Although in his heart, he is very optimistic about the future market of cloud computing, but after all, no one can say for sure in the future, what if something goes wrong?

"Lao Ma, since you think that cloud computing will have a lot to do in the future, then we will go all out and fight again."

Boss Ma quickly raised his head to look at Cai Xin.

"You believe me that much?"

Boss Ma's eyes were slightly rounded, and he looked at Cai Xin suspiciously.

Cai Xin pushed the glasses frame above the bridge of his nose, and said lightly.

"Of course I believe you."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have given up my job with an annual salary of one million to accompany me to start a business."

"In the past, we survived such a difficult time. It makes no sense that we have no way to survive now that the situation has improved."

Recently, Bill has been unable to sleep and insomnia at night. Every time he sees the company's stock price falling, all kinds of strange things always pop up in his mind.

For the official monopoly investigation, Bill has asked people to invite the most famous business lawyer in country M to help him make suggestions.

After all, professional things need to be handed over to professional people.

Although Bill's company also has a legal department, these people are generally good at handling conflicts between the company and its employees.

"Boss, take a look at this report."

In the office, when Bill was looking at the information on the computer and studying how to deal with the official investigation, Jimmy trotted in from outside with a anxious face, holding a yellow file bag in his hand.

"What makes you so anxious?"

Bill took the document bag from Jimmy's hand, looked at him suspiciously, and then began to open the document bag, taking out a small stack of documents from it.

After a few minutes, Bill's eyes were full of excitement, with a hint of surprise in the excitement.

"Is the information on this document true?"

Bill stood up excitedly, butt off the chair, and walked to Jimmy's side.
