Spend ma Yun 1 billion did nothing, was scolded by colleagues in public tears, after creating 450 billion value for Ali

That cheated Ma Yun 1 billion, ali colleagues pointed at the nose to let him go, then how?

He went on to become the chief technology officer of Alibaba Group and is widely regarded as the best CHIEF technology officer in China in the last 10 years.

His name is Wang Jian, known as the “father of Ali Cloud”, the most controversial leader of Ali, who was scolded for four years and was so upset that he would cry in meetings.

How important is Wang Jian to Jack Ma?

He gave Alibaba its own technology, helped alibaba win over 1.4 million customers worldwide, and provided cloud computing and big data services to 765,000 users worldwide, with annual revenue of 11.2 billion yuan and valuation of 450 billion yuan.

At present, it ranks first in China and third in the world.

Just behind Amazon and Microsoft.

When everyone spat at Wang Jian, Ma Stood up and asked everyone to “give Wang Jian some time”, almost split Ali’s family.

Why ma Yun is willing to believe Wang Jian without reservation?

Really decide the outcome of life, from the dare to give up!

Born in 1962, Wang Jian is two years older than Ma and spent the first 30 years of his life dealing with psychology.

The 28-year-old doctor of psychology department of Hangzhou University, 30-year-old psychology professor, 31-year-old doctoral supervisor, 32-year-old department head.

It took him four years to make the leap that others had taken almost ten.

At that time, when he was a graduate student in Hangzhou University, he went to Zhejiang University to audit the computer graduate courses.

Over the years, Wang Jian’s level was no less than that of computer tutors.

For his master’s thesis, he wrote human-computer Interaction and Multi-channel User Interface, which was the first paper in China to discuss human-computer interaction and influenced subsequent human-computer interaction programs for orbital docking in space engineering.

If he keeps going at this pace, he won’t have to work too hard for the rest of his life.

As a result, Wang Jian resigned.

He is a technical man, who only wants to do scientific research, and being dean is not his cup of tea.

In 1999, Kai-fu Lee was preparing for Microsoft Research Asia, the main research direction is the field of human computer, Kai-fu Lee visited the hut three times, finally persuaded Wang Jian.

Shortly after joining, Wang jian brought a new product to Microsoft: “digital ink.”

The technology didn’t catch on at the time, but Microsoft’s powerful drawing function is based on digital ink.

Besides Kai-fu Lee, Wang jian is also trusted by Bill Gates.

Someone wrote an email to Wang Jian, describing that he mentioned software data analysis in front of Bill Gates, and Bill Gates said you should go to Wang Jian.

In a world of great cattle, Wang Jian is one of the most special.

But even so, Wang Jian in this node, again choose to leave.

Time to 2007, Wang Jian met Ma Yun for the first time.

At that time, Wang Jian, who had become the vice president of Microsoft Research Asia, attended the “Net chivalry Conference” held by Ali.

At that meeting, Wang Jian told Ma:

“If Alibaba doesn’t master the technology, it won’t be there in the future.”

In a word, Ma Yun fell in love with Wang Jian at first sight.

Two years later, Wang jian was poached by Jack Ma and given the position of chief architect of Ali, whose primary task was to export technology to Ali.

As long as resist pressure, there is a chance to turn over

After joining Ali, Wang Jian put forward an idea that no one in China had ever done before — “Ali Cloud Idea”.

At that time, no one in China knew what cloud computing was, and my colleagues didn’t know what Ali Cloud was for.

So, Ma Yun to find him is a mistake, because he will not do anything, just a sycophant. Brother Dao found a post on Zhihu to scold Wang Jian the most hated, let us feel:

Ma always looking for Wang Jian is absolutely a mistake, first of all this ya don’t know technology, and then he TM too empty, every day to draw you cake; Once again, this bitch is a flatterer’s ace, I also didn’t think now clever such as ma always how can be coaxed to so stand him… Is it later found it difficult to ride the tiger?…

Even at that time, alibaba was holding a CEO meeting, and an employee directly said to Jack Ma: Ma, don’t listen to Wang Jian’s nonsense! He is nothing but a liar.

Under the post of Ma Yun appointing Wang Jian as ALIBABA CTO, many people left comments questioning Wang Jian, wasting money and resources but accomplishing nothing, why promoted to CTO?

Department assessment performance successive year pressure line, assessment without any basis, why wang Jian department is not dissolved?

In the face of this question, Ma Had to go to the post below reply: “Please believe the doctor (Wang Jian), give him a little time.” “, but it didn’t help that the subsequent Alibaba was like splitting up.

In this criticism, wang Jian’s team members can not carry. More than half of the staff left, writing: “I don’t see any hope in the future.”

At last, the thin and weak uncle who always insisted on his teeth broke down in tears at the annual meeting of Ali Cloud Business Division. Even though tears could not stop flowing, he took the microphone in hand and choked up to cheer himself up:

“I’ve been yelled at more in years than I’ve ever been in my whole life, but I don’t regret it.”

If difficulties appear, you fight to the end

What important contributions did Wang Jian make after he joined Ali?

By today’s standards, cloud technology in China at that time could only be described as “barren”. No one knew what cloud computing was really about, let alone what Ali Cloud was about.

Wang Jian joined, with technical engineers, day and night to work overtime development. In Beijing’s sweltering summer, the server to test the system was set up like a melting pot in an office without air conditioning. It was so hot that Wang jian brought two large ice cubes from the ice rink every day to artificially cool down.

Wang jian shoulders the most difficult task alibaba has ever undertaken — breaking through cloud technology.

He used cloud technology to help Alibaba develop an urban brain for managing cities.

To put it simply, the city brain is connected with special vehicles, such as ambulances, fire trucks and police cars. When special vehicles appear, the seemingly normal traffic lights on the street have actually been adjusted by the “brain”.

The end result:

The time it takes for these special vehicles to get to the scene has been reduced by 50 percent, and that reduced time is a life-saving opportunity.

He used cloud technology to help Tmall once again refresh the double eleven transaction record.

The 2011 Double 11 left the technical team with unforgettable memories like midnight fright: systematic technical problems, so that a large number of merchants may be oversold.

The following year, Tmall took cloud computing as its “base”, providing IT infrastructure for e-commerce and e-commerce service providers.

During the Double 11 of 2018, the elastic computing capacity newly invoked on Ali Cloud exceeded 10 million cores, equivalent to 10 large data centers, creating a new record of “pulse computing”.

In January 2015, 12306 put the ticket query business on Aliyun. During the Spring Festival travel rush, Aliyun undertook 75% of the traffic of 12306 system, which had been paralyzed during the previous period.

Most importantly, he gave Ali his own technology.

In 2016, Alibaba Cloud secured 37% of Chinese websites and provided cloud computing and big data services to 765,000 users worldwide.

Now Ali cloud, alibaba is a trump card. Morgan Stanley analysts believe that in five years, Aliyun’s revenue will reach $28.583 billion and its valuation will break through $67 billion.

From “cheater” to “father of Ali Cloud”, what did Wang Jian do right?

The meeting with Ma Yun in 2007 changed the fate of Ali being controlled by others, and also changed the direction of Dr. Wang Jian’s life.

Before, Brother Dao talked about the reason why Jack Ma believed Wang Jian. Finally, let’s talk about why Wang Jian chose Ali after two resignations.

From “cheater” to “father of Ali Cloud” Wang Jian did what right?

Do the right thing can only win once, with the right person can win a lifetime.

Wang Jian joined Ali, value is Ma Yun’s firm.

At the beginning of 2010, the president of Ali Xiaodai felt that he was about to be dragged down by the endless failures of Ali Cloud at that time. He begged Jack Ma, “Ma, can you cut me some slack?”

Ma Yun is very firm, can’t, cloud computing is the future.

‘Wang jian said he knows the direction of big data, and I trust him,’ Mr. Ma said. If it hits the wall, it’s a waste of money. I can afford it. It’s a strategy.

Put seriously when faith, life will open hanging.

In the process of developing Ali Cloud, Wang Jian encountered numerous thorny problems: data transmission problems, calculation stability problems, processing speed problems, all kinds of errors emerge in endlessly, all kinds of Bug forms renovation.

Many of his engineers, unable to see the future of Alibaba Cloud, have been ripped to pieces and have chosen to work in other departments or leave The company altogether, almost deserting their families.

At one point, Wang jian broke down and wept in front of thousands of people.

The reason why he shed tears is not because of his own difficulties, but because many young people are doing things that are not understood by others.

Loneliness and controversy are essential to innovation.

Ali cloud technology, so that Alibaba’s confidence is becoming stronger and stronger.

On the day alibaba went public, Mr Son, then its largest shareholder, said: “AliYun is the future of the Internet.”

The most difficult thing is not to know, but to do.

Not everyone can be Wang Jian, but what this “cheater” tells us is that everyone can do it.
