Liu, who has such a strong desire for controlling stake in his own creation, suddenly resigned as CEO of the group a few days ago and decided to decentralize, which is quite a feeling of leaving quietly.
After all, compared with his contemporaries, "Two Horses", one left with a high profile and the other stood at the top of the pyramid. Liu's sudden departure seems to have puzzled many people.
Why did you suddenly announce your resignation?
In many people's cognition, Liu He has been in a state of deep binding. When it is mentioned, Liu always remembers it, and vice versa. For me, Liu is like a spiritual existence, deeply imprinted in the corporate culture.
For example, for a period of time before and after listing in a beautiful country, Liu will automatically give away a biography when buying goods. At that time, Liu's move made him famous.
It is an indisputable fact that Internet companies such as JD.COM have laid off employees on a large scale. Da Hadron, who once vowed never to abandon any of his brothers, seems to have broken his word now? After all, a large number of employees have graduated, and now Liu's resignation has also been dubbed by netizens as "graduating with his graduating brothers".
Think about it. Liu was born in 1974, and now he is only 48 years old. As an entrepreneur, it is the prime of life. After all, many people have just started their businesses in their forties. How could Liu suddenly choose to step down?
The first guess;
In fact, as early as 20 18, after the "fairy jump incident", Liu was no longer the inspirational rural baby who started from scratch in the eyes of many people. After all, in the eyes of many female compatriots, cheating in marriage is unforgivable. However, some men believe that it is normal for heroes to feel sorry for beautiful women. In addition, it seems that he was tripped and ripped off, so Liu's reputation did not drop too much.
Let's review the results of the handling of the "Fairy Jump" incident in beautiful countryside: On August 3, 20654381,the prosecutor of hennepin county, Minneapolis, USA, announced that he would not file any charges against Liu after more than three months of investigation.
Liu, who has been in the air, was acquitted.
The prosecutor declared him innocent, indicating that this matter is really a transaction between you and me, as everyone guessed. The so-called crime seems to be as everyone guessed: the price has not been settled, or someone wants to damage the image of JD.COM.
Guess: Because of this incident, Liu actually disappeared from public view for a long time. In order to reduce the negative impact, Liu has stepped down as the chairman, legal person and senior manager of 47 companies including Jingdong Logistics, JD.COM Digital Branch and Retail. Today's resignation seems to be to completely eliminate this negative impact.
The second guess;
Since last year, Internet giants have stepped down. For example, in March 1, Pinduoduo founder Huang Zheng stepped down as chairman of Pinduoduo, and in May 2026, ByteDance founder Zhang Yiming stepped down as CEO and chairman of the board of directors of ByteDance. Going back, in 20 13, Ma Yun resigned as CEO of Alibaba Group. The company was handed over to Zhang Yong, but recently Zhang Yong seems to be resigning frequently, from director Weibo to director Didi, and then in March this year, Zhang Yong resigned from Hangzhou Ali Mama Software Service Co., Ltd. as executive director, general manager and legal representative.
Liu's departure did not happen overnight, but there were traces to follow. Except for a series of resignations after the "Fairy Jump" incident, on April 4, 2020, Liu Ye stepped down as the legal representative of JD.COM. The body of COM. The news neither sent a notice nor made a speech, only one sentence:
Liu officially stepped down as the legal representative, executive director and general manager of the mall.
After that, Liu handed it over to JD. Xu Lei, CEO of JD.COM Group, is the "No.2" of JD.COM Group.
Guess; Liu's resignation, in the context of these bosses at the same level, seems very reasonable. Perhaps it is also a means for Internet companies to pursue higher profits and seek better development.
When Liu was a teenager, he was a real poor boy in slippers.
The third guess;
In 2022, the wave of Internet layoffs followed, and major Internet companies, such as Kuaidi Auto, Bili Bili, and Alibaba, all laid off employees to varying degrees.
JD.COM's personnel department called this letter of layoffs "Instructions for Graduation" and wrote at the beginning, "Happy Graduation! Congratulations on your successful graduation from JD.COM University! Thank you for staying with you all the way! " This incident caused a series of complaints against Liu. After all, Liu is "famous for caring for his brothers".
Some netizens spoke out: last year, the education industry collapsed directly, and our company laid off employees at the end of the year. There are many layoffs at present, and our company continues to lay off employees. There was a graduation ceremony in JD.COM before, and now Tencent has graduated from layoffs, and Ali is also doing it. Encourage flexible employment, have more children and postpone retirement. What caused today's prosperity?
Guess: Just like a large number of executives resigned in the past, Liu was spit out by netizens. This wave of "layoffs" seems to make many people feel speechless. After all, he is no longer the head of JD.COM.
The Current Situation of JD.COM in the Eyes of Front-line Employees
A big V received a submission from fans: the network fever has tightened, and this wave of layoffs in JD.COM is not small. My younger brother who sent a courier to the company before also graduated with honors. He also spoke highly of JD.COM, with five insurances, one gold and birthday benefits. He also gives his parents 100 every month, and he can get eight or nine thousand himself. He is really satisfied with his low education, and he is very happy with every delivery, but he told us at the beginning of this year. The telephone subsidy is gone. I thought I could go to work at that time. Now I graduated directly, and the compensation is not much. I worked for three years and only gave it a month. The impact of the epidemic is part of it. The most important thing is that the Internet industry has reached the ceiling. Without the demographic dividend, investors are not optimistic, which leads to the crazy layoffs of large factories, and the crazy development of 20 years has come to an end.
What's Sister Milk Tea doing again?
This tea sister who graduated from Tsinghua University has a unique investment vision and started various companies with her husband Liu. For example, Hainan Sanya Tian Bo Industrial Private Equity Fund Management Co., Ltd., in which ZhangZetian holds 49% of the shares, has a registered capital of 6,543,800 yuan. These companies are well organized under the care of the milk tea sister, which may also make the milk tea sister earn a lot of money.
The most intuitive data is that in 20021year, ZhangZetian ranked in the top 20 of China Hurun Global Rich List, being the youngest among the top 20.
If Liu is added, the couple's wealth will reach 654.38+088 billion, ranking 54th in the global list.
Under the rolling tide of the times, no one can be immune to it.
Nowadays, the wave of layoffs in all walks of life has affected more families, and layoffs in JD.COM are also helpless. However, it is really wrong for employees to report that they have not received compensation. After all, getting together and leaving is the last word.
In any case, among these business leaders, Liu is one of the few entrepreneurs who are really born in poverty. It is not easy to get rich by relying on the tuition fees collected by the whole village and dozens of eggs.
