Yun Ma retired in 2019, resigning from any position in the Ali Group. Peng Lei (former chairman of Ant Financial Services), Jiang Fang (former Chief Talent Officer), and Wu Yongming (now chairman of Ali Health) are also phasing out of senior management positions in the group. Only 2 of the founders are still in the senior management of Ali Group.

Chongxin Tsai, Executive Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Alibaba Group

Joining Alibaba Group in 1999 as one of the company's founders, Tsai has been a member of the board of directors of Alibaba Group since its inception and served as the company's chief financial officer until 2013. Tsai currently serves as Executive Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Alibaba Group and is one of the founding partners of Alibaba. Tsai currently serves as a non-executive director of Ant Group and Cainiao Intelligent Logistics Network Inc.

Shan Dai, President, Category B Business Group, Alibaba Group

Shan Dai joined Alibaba Group in 1999 as one of the founders of the company, and in December 2019, he represented the Group in charge of the Box Office Business Group, and has been the President of the Category B Business Group since January 2017, where he is responsible for the Group's international and China domestic wholesale trading platforms, Alibaba.com International and 1688.com, the international retail trading platforms Global SmarTone and RetailTone, as well as digital agriculture and digital rural and regional economic development.

As of now, only six of the eighteen Luohan remain at Alibaba: Jack Ma, Tsai Chongxin, Peng Lei, Dai Shan, Jiang Fang and Wu Yongming, a retention ratio of one-third.

Contrast next door to the "Tencent five tigers", "Baidu three Musketeers", when the partners have long been flying solo, leaving only the founder of the CEO to stay in the company, I have to admit, Mr. Ma does have two brushes, is very able to gather people.

The story of Ali's eighteen Luohan is quite legendary, a small man in Hangzhou who can't even read the code, led by a group of ordinary people who don't even know what the Internet is, and actually froze to create an impact on the world's e-commerce empire, and continue to grow and develop, and y change this society!

If there really is a time machine, 2020 people ran over to the young Mr. Ma said, how you will be in the future, it is estimated that he is also a face of disdain: I brag to motivate the morale, but you can blow more than me! Ali can be so great in the future, how do I not believe it?

And the eighteen Luohan back then is just ordinary people, in addition to Jack Ma and Tsai Chongxin, other people into Ali is not to create a legend, purely to make a living.

For example, Ms. Zhang Ying, Mr. Ma's wife, just followed her husband into the company to provide logistical support, and had no idea what Ali could do in the future.

All she could do was to make sure that her employees ate and drank well, and that their salaries were paid in a timely manner, so that they wouldn't be blamed for the company's collapse.

And Sun Tongyu and Peng Lei, the couple, into the Ali is also bewildered: Peng Lei said more than once, when the Ali startup, she did not like to listen to Mr. Ma's speech, think it is too outrageous, and often then Mr. Ma's speech, secretly rolled his eyes.

Despite this, she followed Mr. Ma to the end with feeling and trust, while her husband, Sun Tongyu, was halfway there, and Jack Ma turned against him.

Ali eighteen Luohan

Sun Tongyu as one of the eighteen Luohan, in fact, is Ma's old partner, in 1996, when Ma founded the Chinese yellow pages, the old Sun came in. 2003, Sun Tongyu was appointed to lead the team to build Taobao, just a few years, Taobao to achieve annual sales of 40 billion yuan, a market share of 80%. However, at the time when everything was going well, Sun Tongyu was suddenly announced to "leave the post for further study", without any prior warning.

According to sources, Sun could not contain herself when she spoke, bawling.

In 2008, Alibaba began to land on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and Sun Tongyu formally resigned on March 1 of that year, and no one knows what happened. What is interesting is that Peng Lei, as a wife, in the struggle between the boss and her husband, rare to remain neutral! There were rumors that Peng Lei knew in advance that Jack Ma was going to remove Sun Tongyu, but she did not tell her husband.

The reason why she did so, may also be helpless, hand in hand are meat, to help anyone is not good; and at that time, Taobao development into a critical period, the need for blood to adapt to the development trend; husband and the boss are very strong people, continue to stay will certainly continue to fight, as well as one of them to leave it. Sun Tongyu, who left, was not willing to be lonely, and joined hands with Huang Zheng to start Pinduoduo, staging the revenge saga of the return of the king, which is also a very classic inspirational story!

Today, the number of users of Pinduoduo, the degree of activity are constantly rising, which also makes Taobao, Jingdong and a series of veteran e-commerce companies feel the pressure. It can be predicted that if Taobao does not have a breakthrough, I am afraid that will be Pinduoduo rural surrounded by the city, step by step, eaten up. Ten years ago, the removal of the storm in the Ma Yun won, but the next ten years, in the face of the rise of Pinduoduo, Ma Yun can still take it easy?
