2019 became a year when Jiang Fan rose to fame. In March, the 33-year-old president of Taobao successively served as president of Tmall, legal representative of Tmall and chairman and general manager. In June, Jiang Fan became the youngest of the latest 38 partners of BABA. At this time, he had just joined BABA for five years, which was the minimum number of years to become a partner. In August, it was reported that Jiang Fan became a member of the 13-member BABA Executive Committee for Economic Development, also known as BABA's most powerful 13; in BABA's latest structural adjustment in December, Jiang Fan is in charge of BABA's mother business group on behalf of the group.

After successively taking over the three core businesses of BABA, Taobao, Tmall and BABA, Jiang Fan has essentially become the first person of BABA under Jack Ma and Zhang Yong.

But no one expected that just when everyone thought Jiang Fan had a bright future, he "flipped over" in his private life.

On April 17 this year, Mrs. Jiang Fan tore online celebrity blogger Zhang Dayi in Weibo Corp's hand, accusing him of destroying his family.

Jiang Fan posted a post on BABA's intranet on April 18, apologizing to the company and colleagues for the bad impact of online rumors and asking the company to investigate himself. Jiang Fan expressed two main views on the intranet: first, he apologized because his family's comments on Weibo Corp and some false online rumors had a very bad impact on the company; second, he begged the company to launch an investigation into him.

On April 27th, BABA announced the results of the investigation and handling of the Jiang Fan incident. The investigation was conducted by a special investigation team set up by the Integrity Department of BABA Group. According to the investigation, the result was formed by the management of BABA Group, and BABA's partner Committee also conducted a special consideration on this. The investigation team conducted a comprehensive internal and external investigation on BABA Group's investment in Ruhan e-commerce, as well as the occupation, activities, drainage and transactions of all Zhang Dayi's Taobao and Tmall stores. Confirm: BABA's decision to invest in Ruhan e-commerce in 2016 has nothing to do with Jiang Fan; Jiang Fan has nothing to do with the business activities of all Taobao and Tmall stores in Ruhan and Zhang Dayi. However, the investigation team believes that Jiang Fan in an important position in the company, due to improper handling of personal and family problems, caused a serious crisis of public opinion, which had a significant impact on the company's reputation. After discussion by BABA's management, it was decided that Jiang Fan should be punished as follows:

1. The management proposes and obtains the approval of the partner committee to cancel BABA's status as a partner from now on.

2. Demerit punishment.

3. Demotion. The rank was downgraded from M7 (Group Senior Vice President) to M6 (Group Vice President).

4. Cancel all awards in the last financial year.

In addition, when the Jiang Fan incident first appeared on the hot search, related topics and comments were restricted and comments were restricted, showing the public that online public opinion can be manipulated by capital. On June 10, the State Cyber Information Office ordered Sina Weibo Corp to rectify and punish because of the Jiang Fan incident.

At the end of July this year, some media reported that when using Meituan payment, some users found that Meituan monthly payment and bank card payment occupied the priority position. WeChat Pay and ApplePay were also on the payment choice list, but no longer showed Alipay.

Wang's lawsuit is aimed at this incident at the end of July. It is reported that after using Android phone to place an order in Meituan APP, there are bank card payments, Meituan monthly payments, WeChat Pay and Alipay payments, which are folded.

According to some Apple Inc mobile phone users, when they use Meituan APP to place orders, there are only bank card payments, Meituan monthly payments, WeChat Pay and Apple Pay payments, and there has never been any Alipay.

"Anti-monopoly" has become a high-frequency word that has attracted much attention recently. At the decision-making level, the meeting of the political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee made it clear for the first time on 11 December to "strengthen anti-monopoly and prevent the disorderly expansion of capital"; the Central Economic work Conference held from 16 to 18 December, it will be listed as one of the eight key tasks to be grasped next year.

The Central Economic work Conference put forward, "it is necessary to improve the legal norms on the monopoly identification of platform enterprises, the management of data collection and use, and the protection of consumers' rights and interests." "this involves very specific issues in enforcement, and it is also a weak link in previous regulation. In fact, one of the key points of the recent series of regulatory actions of the General Administration of Market Supervision is to solve these problems. It can be predicted that with the standardization of data use management, the "data hegemony" and "ripe" behavior of Internet platform enterprises will be suppressed.

All this sends a clear signal that China has entered a serious stage in strengthening anti-monopoly and preventing disorderly expansion of capital.

Netizens commented: immediately Li can sue Tmall of BABA for not supporting WeChat Pay on Taobao.
