A few days ago, there was a lot of buzz online, saying that Alibaba is going to lay off 25% of its employees. Seeing this news, I really couldn't help but laugh and cry. How to identify whether a news is a rumor is actually very simple, it is whether the level of understanding of this matter can keep up with it.

What is the basic common sense? Taking Evergrande as an example, we owe 2 trillion yuan. In this situation, we do not know how much Evergrande has laid off employees. The two things that can be confirmed are that Evergrande has not gone bankrupt, and there are no layoffs exceeding 25% on the surface.

Evergrande is already like this, and there is no such news yet. So how could Alibaba, with its top profitability, possibly lay off a quarter of its workforce? Do you think that with so many people, Jack Ma can sign and be cut?

In a company at the level of Alibaba, large-scale layoffs must be approved by superiors. If you want to lay off employees, layoffs will only occur in the irresponsible Western world.

Most people who believe in such gossip do not think independently, they are just subconscious reactions.

Subsequently, Alibaba came out to refute the rumor, and Alibaba Cloud laid off 7% of its employees. Other departments did not mention it, but conservatively estimated that it should be higher than 7%.

Many people think that Alibaba's layoffs are a sign of economic decline, but in reality, they are not. After Jack Ma went to Tokyo as a visiting professor, Alibaba is currently divided into six groups.

The main reason for this layoff is to prepare for going public. The next step is to rely on our shareholders to contribute to Alibaba's business.

Some people may suspect that Alibaba's layoffs are not normal behavior due to the poor overall environment? Why use going public as a cover up? Alibaba's profits clearly decreased last year.

It is reasonable to raise such doubts, and the decline in profits is also a fact. It is also a reason for layoffs. For a company, spending less is just one aspect, and the other aspect is to make more money. Listing all six major groups of Alibaba, creating a beautiful financial report, and earning more money are the more important things a company should want to do.

It's just like that ordinary people have no money. On the one hand, they change their breakfast eggs to half and only eat half a bag of instant noodles. On the other hand, they need to earn more money.

Therefore, Alibaba's layoffs need to be viewed from two aspects, not just to undermine the economy alone. This is one-sided, although it meets the spiritual needs of some people, it may not see the essence of the problem. What they need to do is not only to lay off employees, but also to make money again in the stock market.

Who's making money?

In fact, Alibaba's layoffs have far less profound impact than another matter.

Amazon China will discontinue its App Store service, and there may not be many people using the Amazon App Store. However, in reality, for Amazon, this matter tends to be more symbolic. After entering China for 20 years, Amazon has always been the other player in China's e-commerce market share, and many people may have never considered buying things through Amazon.

However, it is unclear whether Amazon wants to exit due to the closure of e-books last year and the closure of the app store this year, or whether the app needs to be repeatedly reviewed and rejected due to e-books.

Amazon entered China in 2004, and currently the American internet company is still in operation. I can't think of a second one. Some people say Microsoft and Apple are not? Sorry, it's really not. One of these two companies mainly sells both hardware and software, while the other mainly sells both software and hardware, but neither is considered an internet company.

After all, without Google, we still have Baidu, without WhatsApp, we have WeChat, without Amazon, and we have more choices. In the field of the internet, we are the first to achieve self-sufficiency. We are indeed leading the world in this regard.

There is only one small issue. Taking reading as an example, if I have read 1000 books, it is normal for me to watch "Sadness Flows into a River" and I will not have any admiration for Xiao Si. I want to go to a hotel with him. However, if there is no one else in one's life except for Guo Jingming's books, then it is probably not far from the complete destruction of the Three Views.

Our next generation may not see what truly international enterprises look like anymore. Of course, it's not scary for foreign companies from Europe and America to leave. We have foreign companies from Central Asia coming in.

Of course, in addition to the above good news, there is even better news to tell everyone. These past few days, videos of negative down payment home purchases have started circulating online. After my friend at a certain bank verified, the bank is currently trying to limit the occurrence of such incidents.

What is a negative down payment? A house could have been sold for 1 million yuan, but the intermediary sold it for 2 million yuan. If it was a 30% down payment, the buyer would need to make a down payment of 600000 yuan and a loan of 1.4 million yuan.

After receiving all the 2 million, the seller will return the remaining 1 million to the buyer.

The buyer paid 600000 yuan to buy a house, resulting in a house and 400000 yuan in cash. Of course, there is also an additional loan of 1.4 million.

This is a rough calculation, which roughly means that.

I personally believe that there is only one reason for ordinary people to buy a house now, which is that not buying a house will lead to death. Otherwise, at this juncture, no other circumstances should be a reason for you to buy a house.

What I emphasize here is that ordinary people, if your family is entangled with Wanguan, of course you can ignore it, and if you are a Baisha Kang master every day, you can also ignore it.

The reason for not buying a house is very simple. Don't look around at the overall trend of the world, just look around and see how many air conditioners have been installed outside the newly opened properties in recent years, and you will know how the occupancy rate is.

When I pass by car in the northern and western suburbs of Xi'an, I can only describe it as shocking.

There are too many houses, and there is no reason not to collapse, except for starting to bomb and insure now.

Either the house will explode, or the housing price will explode. If everyone used to just talk about what would happen in the future, then now we finally don't have to talk about the future. Now, it's falling.

As an ordinary person, what we need to do now is not to invest and maintain cash reserves. What is the current situation like? Just like the Titanic lookout had already seen an iceberg, yet everyone still felt that there was time to turn around.

Later, when discussing the sinking of the Titanic, it was said that if it had collided directly at that time, the losses could have been even smaller. Flashing around and moving around is nothing more than making the final outcome a bit more tragic.

At that time, will you hurry to go first in the first class, or regret that you watched people's official account brag in the third class?
