Known as the man behind Jack Ma , how does Tsai Chongxin evaluate Jack Ma?

Tsai Chongxin has always been known as "the man behind Jack Ma" by the outside world, and it is no exaggeration to say that without Tsai Chongxin, there would be no Alibaba today. In 1999, in Hangzhou, Cai Chongxin was introduced to Jack Ma by a friend. Tsai Chongxin was deeply impressed by Jack Ma:

Jack Ma's ambition to create this international import and export platform, and Jack Ma's charisma as a leader. At that time, he was really impressed by Jack Ma's leadership charisma and his natural business acumen, so Tsai Chongxin rolled up his sleeves, put the designer suit into the closet, stepped into Alibaba, headquartered in Hangzhou, and began to bury the pot and cook rice. ‍‍

In Tsai's eyes, he works well with Jack Ma, who doesn't have a sense of ownership of anything. He was also willing to admit his weaknesses, saying, "I'm not good at that.

A lot of strong entrepreneurs say, "I'm good at everything." Marketing, I'm in the business; Coding, I'm good at it too. "It can be said that Jack Ma is a low-key and humble person.

I remember watching an interview with Tsai Chongxin himself before, in which he said: "The most admirable thing about Ma Yun is that he is a tolerant person. Alibaba has 18 founders, have you ever wondered?

It could have been as long as he was the founder alone. It is enough to see Tsai Chongxin's recognition of Ma Yun. ‍‍

He works very hard, he is happy and he sees the light in his eyes. Tsai believes that this guy has the ability to bring a group of people together and is an influential leader. Jack Ma really has the ability to make a career. That was what finally convinced him.

He thinks Jack Ma is very smart and can learn the real skills quickly. He started out as an entrepreneur who persuaded his students to come and work for him, and then grew into a veritable global business leader. It's not called transformation, it's progress.

Every year he improves. ‍‍

Tsai himself actually admires Jack Ma's personality very much. What really moved him was not only Jack Ma himself, nor himself and one or two followers, but the fact that Jack Ma shared weal and woe with a group of followers. Basically, these followers are his students. ‍‍

Good communicator. As an excellent teacher, Jack Ma can communicate well with students. And he made a convincing and convincing impression. When he was in the company, Jack Ma genuinely cared about the development of others and made them better. ‍‍

Jack Ma has a self-deprecating personality and brings in outstanding talents, thereby promoting the development of the company. The company can't grow because the company's leaders don't grow with the company. Jack Ma can always recruit outstanding talents and promote the development of the company, and has a very unique vision and mind. ‍‍

Tsai Chongxin once said in an interview that Ma Yun does not have any mentor behind him, and the reason why Ma Yun has achieved so much today and won people's high respect is because he is a teacher. ‍‍

When he was poor and white, he was able to pull up a team of 18 people and pry a corner like Cai, which shows that he has a charismatic personality, or enough friends, and by extension, he should also be good to employees, businessmen, and customers. It cannot be said that people who have a bad relationship with their husband and wife have a bad character, but those who have a good relationship with their husband and wife are generally lucky, have a good personality, and will be able to operate. Therefore, even finding a partner has to be very lucky.

What are you doing there? Come back.

In the eyes of many people, Alibaba's achievements are second only to Jack Ma for his achievements, because Alibaba was made from scratch by Jack Ma and him. So, what is the talk of Joe Tsai within Alibaba? It is rumored on the Internet that Ma Yun fired Tsai Chongxin, what was the real defeat of Zheng Xiang?

The relationship between Jack Ma and Joe Tsai.

Tsai Chongxin, this is one of the most trusted men of Ma Yun, he has a very legendary story with Ma Yun, without Ma Yun, there is no Alibaba, but without Tsai Chongxin, there is no Ma Yun. For Tsai Chongxin, he could get a job with an annual salary of $700,000 in 1999, which was basically the peak for him at that time, and there would not be much room for further improvement. On the contrary, following Jack Ma, although from the perspective of the environment at the time, Alibaba was still a start-up company that was being favored by investment companies, but Ma Yun's leadership, personality charm and relationship with subordinates, as well as the prospects of Jack Ma's projects, all attracted Tsai Chongxin.

Therefore, choosing to give up your existing high-paying job may be risky, but if you succeed, the reward will be even greater. In fact, it also proves that Tsai Chongxin's choice after careful consideration was right. Tsai Chongxin's choice may be risky in the eyes of many people, but he still has a way out, first, Yale's degree has a high gold content, second, his industry experience allows him to retain his way out even if he tries to fail, and third, the accumulated wealth of his family and individuals is guaranteed for his future life, which is enough to support him to spend more time trying to start a business.

Therefore, this attempt is also worth it for Tsai Chongxin. Tsai Chongxin's giving up a million-dollar annual salary and then joining Jack Ma's team can be said to have become a widely praised thing in Alibaba's entrepreneurial history. Many people admire Tsai Chongxin's vision and courage, and of course, what they admire even more is Jack Ma's personality charm.

How important Tsai Chongxin is to Alibaba can be seen from Alibaba's B2B listing in Hong Kong in 2007. Before going public, Alibaba had four board seats, one for SoftBank, one for Yahoo, one for Jack Ma, and one for Joe Tsai. After the listing, it was also stated in the public prospectus that Tsai Chongxin still occupied a seat on the board.

So there is no doubt that Joe Tsai is Alibaba's No. 2 person. It is not difficult to understand that the appearance of Tsai Chongxin is like a rescue sent by God for Ma Yun, not to make Ali "like a tiger with wings", but to let Ali grow into a "tiger" step by step.

At the beginning, Tsai Chongxin decisively gave up his annual salary of 5.8 million yuan and chose to take a monthly salary of 500 yuan to start a business with Ma Yun, which is also very commendable. Before the eyes disappeared, Tsai Chongxin actually did not leave Alibaba, and still served as the executive vice chairman of the group, so it was rumored on the Internet that Ma Yun fired Tsai Chongxin.

The journey of a celebrity in ancient and modern times who has grown into a successful model.

In 1999, Tsai Chongxin rushed to Hangzhou to visit Jack Ma, when Alibaba was still a little-known start-up and its founder Jack Ma was also not well-known. Mr. Tsai had been based in Hong Kong for four years prior to the visit, where he was an executive at Investor AB, a Swedish investment firm. After this visit, Tsai Chongxin offered to join Alibaba, and Jack Ma gladly accepted his request.

Fifteen years later, statistics show that China has overtaken the United States as the world's largest e-commerce market, Alibaba is far ahead of its rivals, and Jack Ma and Joe Tsai are the company's two billionaires with assets of more than $1 billion. Numerous analysts say Alibaba is now worth more than $120 billion. Mr. Tsai, 49, spoke to Forbes about his impressions of Mr. Ma as a business leader.

The internal division of labour since May 2013, when Joe Tsai and Loke were appointed as Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer respectively. "I don't think his personality has changed compared to Jack Ma in Alibaba's early days," Tsai said.

However, Jack Ma's understanding of employee management and business management has improved significantly and reached a more mature level.
