What Ma Yun and Cai Chongxin didn't know was that Sun Jian had divorced Liu Yue and would marry Xiang Dongping next month.

Ma Yun was also very happy to meet a fellow villager in Jiangcheng. Bi Xiaoyun might be able to help when dealing with Sun Jian in the future.

"Mr. Ma, please take care of me!"

Bi Xiaoyun smiled broadly and sincerely asked Ma Yun to take care of him. It is not easy for anyone to be appreciated by Sun Jian.

Ma Yun and Cai Chongxin lamented that Sun Jian was surrounded by talented people. Taobao's two vice presidents, Zhao Xinning and Deng Qingqiang, also received Ph.D. degrees from prestigious American universities. Taobao must have many Ph.D. and master's degree graduates from prestigious American universities. Fortunately, they did not agree to Sun Jian, otherwise These arrogant people will not be controlled by them.

Zhao Xinning studied at Yan University for his undergraduate degree and graduated from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. He holds a doctorate in international business and a master's degree in computer science. After graduation, he worked as the deputy manager of the marketing department of Wal-Mart for two years. He met Taobao on the GPN website. After an e-commerce company advertised for a deputy general manager, he went to ATIC headquarters in New York to apply. After being hired by Taobao, he returned to Jiangcheng with his family.

Deng Qingqiang studied at Fuzhou University as an undergraduate and received a PhD in marketing from Booth School of Business. He served as the deputy manager of the marketing department at Best Buy chain store in California. He was introduced by Zhao Xinning as a senior and brought his family to Jiangcheng to serve as deputy general manager.

Ma Yun and Cai Chongxin's guesses are good. In addition to deputy general managers Zhao Xinning and Deng Qingqiang, who have PhDs in the United States, there are also product manager Tang Dongtao, operations manager Yang Qingyou, and marketing manager Zheng Xiangfeng, who also have PhDs in the United States. They were all recruited through ATIC.

Sun Jian promised that if Taobao has been profitable for two consecutive years, Taobao Electric Group will use 3% of its 50% equity to reward the company's management and ordinary employees based on their contribution. Once Taobao is listed on Nasdaq or New York Listed on the stock exchange, senior management are all millionaires.

Tang Dongtao and Zheng Xiangfeng received funding from ATIC while studying abroad and joined ATIC after graduation.

Domestic famous universities have trained a large number of talents for the United States. After receiving doctorate and master's diplomas in the United States, most of them stayed in the United States.

Companies under Taobao Holdings are now recruiting high-end talents and publish recruitment information on the front pages of PN and GPN, which are already familiar to domestic PhD students and international students.

The purpose of most people studying abroad is to make money. When an opportunity comes that can both make money and achieve life goals, everyone will seize it.

With Sun Jian's reputation and wealth, it would not be difficult to recruit hundreds of Ph.D. graduates from prestigious American universities at once.

In early 1994, Yu Jianguo followed Sun Jian's instructions, ATIC invested US$20 million to establish the Wukong Angel Investment Fund, and cooperated with the International Students Association in the United States to invest in promising entrepreneurial projects of international students in the United States, and provided US$1 million in relief funds every year. We provide financial support to Chinese students who encounter difficulties in life while studying abroad. Chinese students are welcome to join ATIC, GPIC or Kunpeng Software (USA) Research Institute after graduation.

In the past four years, more than 2,000 Chinese students have received funding, and the investment from the Wukong Angel Investment Fund has blossomed. After graduating with Ph.D. degrees, more than 700 international students have joined companies under Taobao Holdings with projects.
