On the morning of May 9, Alibaba Group CEO Wu Yongming posted on an intranet forum calling for Alians to return to their original intentions and start a new business. Wu Yongming stressed that Ali's genes are not “preserved”; they are only “created.” The risks and opportunities brought about by the AI technology revolution coexist. Ali must let go of its past achievements and embark on a new journey with the mentality of an entrepreneur. In addition to thanking Ali's family for their support, Wu Yongming also reminded Ali not to change his original intentions. “On the way to re-starting a business, the only thing that cannot be changed is the original intention: help solve social problems, create customer value, and think for the future. This is the foundation of Alibaba's 102-year journey through the cycle. Facts have proven more than once that when we help others solve problems, our own development is not too bad.” This week, the 1:1 reproduction of Alibaba's “Lakeside Cottage” was unveiled at Alibaba's Hangzhou global headquarters. Wu Yongming said, “It represents Alibaba's never-ending entrepreneurial spirit and eternal pursuit of innovation. “The choice to move it into the global headquarters now is not for nostalgia, but to remind all of us that Ali is still in business today.” This intranet post opens the 21st “Ali Day.” To commemorate and thank the family for their great support to employees during the fight against “SARS,” Ali designated May 10 as “Ali Day” every year. Taobao was born during the “SARS” period. Over the past two years, Ali has continued to actively transform, reshape the core of the business, and create an organizational formation adapted to the future. Wu Yongming admits that change requires courage, but “the disruptive innovations in Ali's history have all broken the rules and chosen a difficult and rarely followed path.” With the advent of the AI era, Ali, which is constantly refreshing itself, is once again standing at a new starting point of development. On Ali Day this year, CEO Wu Yongming issued a call to “return to the original intention and start a new business”, which also made the outside world see once again that the 26-year-old Alibaba's original feelings have not changed, and the undertone of its mission drive has not changed.
