Yesterday, Alibaba released social responsibility data for 2017. The data showed that in the previous year, Alibaba paid an average of more than 100 million taxes per day, driving upstream and downstream taxes to exceed 290 billion, creating 33 million jobs, and driving one-quarter of Chinese people to participate in charity.
Such a beautiful transcript is really exciting to read. It makes people sigh: Alibaba is so awesome, Jack Ma’s father is so awesome! China finally has an Internet company that can match the world.

2017 Alibaba Social Responsibility Transcript
Will Tencent drive less employment than Alibaba?
While some people were excited, others expressed dissatisfaction. For example, Tencent. I don’t know if you have noticed that Tencent, which has always been low-key, released a report "2016 WeChat Social and Economic Influence" as early as 2016. The report shows that in 2016, WeChat drove 447.5 billion yuan of social consumption, a year-on-year increase of 37.6%, of which 174.3 billion yuan of information consumption and 273.2 billion yuan of traditional consumption; it drove 18.81 million people, a year-on-year increase of 7.7%, of which 4.66 million people were directly employed and 14.15 million people were indirectly employed.
You see, WeChat alone has led to 18.81 million jobs, and has not yet included other products. Tencent has so many products that are no less than Alibaba. The editor counted and found that there were more than a dozen of more well-known ones: QQ, WeChat, Tenpay, Tencent Games, Tencent Pictures, Tencent Animation, Tencent Esports, China Literature Group (Tencent Literature), QQ Music, Tencent Network, Tencent Video, QQ Browser, QQ Email, Tencent Open Platform, Tencent Cloud...
These combined are estimated to be more than 15 million jobs. Although the official has not released the specific figures, WeChat’s contribution to society in recent years is obvious to all.
Why is Alibaba and Tencent criticized
Today, although Alibaba and Tencent have ranked among the top 10 most valuable Internet companies in the world, it is still criticized by many users. Moreover, they have different opinions on the groups they serve.
Taobao sellers look at Tencent:
Ma Huateng’s position as the richest man is all contributed by primary school students (game).
WeChat users view Alibaba:
Taobao is a centralized platform, and the cost of online traffic is too high, otherwise where did Jack Ma’s wealth come from.
Some people even concluded that Tencent earns money from primary school students, and Jack Ma earns money from women. Although this seems extreme, it is not unreasonable.
But then again, the root cause of Alibaba and Tencent's criticism is that users do not respect such companies or their profit model from the bottom of their hearts.
Since the birth of Taobao, it has indeed had a disruptive impact on some industries, but as the impact intensifies, some bad influences have also begun to emerge, counterfeit goods, monopoly, exclusive, closed, centralized...
Tencent is increasingly swaying in its territory expansion, and once fell into: imitation, plagiarism, and letting parents boycott... Especially after "Honor of Kings" was released, many people were addicted to it and could not extricate themselves.

What we made to the Tencent Empire in those years
The bigger the enterprise, the greater the responsibility
At the 18th anniversary celebration, Jack Ma pointed out that the difference between Alibaba and ordinary companies lies in social responsibility. "Alibaba must have social responsibility, family and country feelings and world responsibility. How big the social problems are solved, how big the enterprises are achieved."
Management master Peter Drucker warned that “the topic of social responsibility is focused on discussing the personal moral and ethical behavior of institutional leaders, but more importantly, the impact of institutional legal activities on society.”
Looking at the various AT's charity activities in recent years, the figure of the founder is everywhere, especially Alibaba is the most prominent. Whether it is the "Dharma Academy" established last year to carry the "NASA Plan" or the "Ma Yun Rural Principal Plan", while conveying charity and love, it also reveals more and more marketing traces.
一年前,在一次中国企业家俱乐部媒体座谈会上,刚刚从联想控股董事长柳传志手中接过中国企业家俱乐部主席一职的马云慷慨激昂地发表了一番言论。

马云在中国企业家俱乐部论坛上发言
"I think entrepreneurs are scientists in economic and social development. Today, well-known problems in various countries are economic problems, and the number one responsible person and responsible person of economic problems are entrepreneurs. We must have this responsibility and must learn. I hope the media will not evaluate the title of "richest man". I am most afraid of seeing who is the richest man. Such wealth evaluation will not have a good impact on Chinese society.
We should not just focus on a person's wealth value. The richest man should be the first loss, the responsible 'negative'. "This is actually a kind of cultural connotation of an enterprise. If an enterprise cannot take social responsibility as a mission of the enterprise, it will be difficult to achieve its century-old foundation, let alone talk about the long-lasting foundation."
If it is true as Jack Ma said, Chinese Internet companies are in line with the world, it is just around the corner.
