What will happen to Alibaba now?
On December 24, the State Administration for Market Regulation filed an investigation into Alibaba Group Holdings Co., Ltd. for suspected monopolistic conduct such as "choosing one of two" according to the report. As soon as this matter came out, it was already on the hot search for the first time. Ma Yun and Alibaba are really unfavorable for the past few years. First, Ant Group was suspended from listing, and then the construction of Lakeside University was suspended. Now it is suspected of choosing one monopoly. Ma Yun has also turned from a hero-worshipped and admired by young people into a "capitalist" of all evil overnight. In a recent public speech by Jack Ma, that people used to call them has become a "capitalist", "vampire", etc., and all kinds of objections are endless. What people complain the most is that "996 is a blessing" that Ma Yun said the most.
1. More than one monopoly :
The expansion of capital will inevitably bring about a monopoly, which Marx explained more than two hundred years ago. A market economy is still an economic form dominated by capital production, but in terms of the dominant force, the state and public ownership are the deployment forces. If you don’t understand this, you can graft Western economic production methods into China, or expand capital in China in Western ways, there will never be a future. In BAT, monopoly is an indisputable fact. Taobao and Tmall’s competitors are JDcom and Pinduoduo. Alipay has lost half of its WeChat payment system. Xiaomi is also surrounded by a large number of App such as Netease and QQ music and more.
The other two, one is that after Google withdrew from China, the other is the exclusive domestic search engine market. Who doesn’t use Baidu among Chinese search engines? Who doesn't use Baidu every day? There is a second company that has such influence. However, Baidu's user experience is not satisfactory. The small software downloaded on the Internet can be used at any time. Who dares to use the small software now? It's all advertisements and various viruses. As soon as I opened a web search, various scam companies and false advertisements came one after another, as well as online medical treatment, which became scary one after another. Tencent's main business is games, chat software, and other businesses. Just talking about WeChat and QQ is enough to make people inseparable every day. However, the criticized "King Pesticide" also has some undifferentiated games, which makes many parents a headache and demand to boycott bad games. Isn't this a monopoly? However, compared to the other two, Jack Ma acted too high-profile a few years ago, which is one of the reasons why he was shot out.
2. The era created Jack Ma, not Jack Ma created the era:
Many people believe that Jack Ma has changed the times, brought the convenience of life, reform of consumption methods, and prosperity of e-commerce. Therefore, the evaluation of him is very high, thinking that he created the miracle of the times, he also became a hero and an idol in the hearts of teenagers. But many people don't understand that it is the 40 years of reform and opening up that created Jack Ma. This is the background of the times.
Jack Ma's success is the result of the times, and most of those who were the first to eat crabs in the early stages of reform and development are successful in their careers today. It's not that they can really change history but just caught up with the wheel of history. If there is no Jack Ma, we will see other Zhang Yun and Li Yun appear.
3. University is not a club, and businessmen cannot become a consortium if they are tied up:
Lakeside University only recruits successful businessmen, but it is not a university in the true sense of the word. In terms of its form, it is more like a club among businessmen and a private club among big wealthy owners. The richest people in the country meet regularly and study together, and people with a little money are also recruited one after another. Businessmen are profit-seeking, and they cannot afford to be profitable. What will this group of people say in a meeting? What will it do? Will there be interest groups controlling the capital market and forming a large monopoly group? Like the American trust? Even if there is no such idea, what would people outside think? Businessmen are bundled together to form a consortium, will they use this to overhead the market and capital?
4. The achievements of development are obvious to all:
Jack Ma and Alibaba, have made great contributions to the development of Chinese society. Although the word-of-mouth decline, the convenience of payment methods, changes in lifestyle, rural teachers, desert governance, and other aspects brought by him are tangible. Huabei is not the culprit of over-consumption, the culprit is people. Even if there is no Huabei, there will be all kinds of credit cards and all kinds of online loans. That kind of situation will be more chaotic and more people will suffer. In recent years, the state has made every effort to crack down on online loans and campus loans for this reason. However, the nature of capital is profit-seeking. After the reform and opening up, economic development and market supervision are not in place. Just like a runaway horse, various competitions and abuses have begun to appear. It is not uncommon for bad money to expel good money. The state must increase supervision in order to rectify the market. Ma Yun acted in a high-profile manner, and it was logical to start with him.
