题目内容
【题目】 Daniel Zhang, the former top manager of Alibaba, has larger shoes to fill now. In September last year, he took over the role of chairperson from Jack Ma, who decided to step down after building the $420-billion(十亿) internet business.
Zhang studied finance at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. After graduating from school he worked at a gaming company in Shanghai. The Shanghai native joined Alibaba in 2007 and played a key role in helping to drive Taobao to profit(营利). He is best known for starting the 'Double 11' shopping festival, which has brought in 50 million yuan in sales during the first festival in 2009 to 268 billion yuan in 2019.
As to leadership style, Zhang is very different from Ma. The latter made a name for himself as an entertainer, dressing up as Michael Jackson at company events. Zhang has kept a much lower profile(低调). 'Ma is a guy with many ideas. He is very, very creative, ' he said in an interview. 'I'm the guy who always wants to put my foot on the ground. ' The young chairperson, however, has never wanted a routine job or a predictable life—a message he gave to students during a 2016 event at his alma mater(母校).
Zhang now has his sights set on helping Alibaba further develop its New Retail strategy, which looks to combine online shopping. 'We strongly believe that brick-and-mortar stores(实体店) can create huge value, but their model needs to be upgraded,' Zhang said at a conference last year.
