Autumn is a key node for most companies to summarize and liquidate. Perhaps because of this reason, Internet companies have recently exposed serious violations of discipline involving senior executive corruption.
According to 36Kr, JD.com recently conducted a new round of thorough investigations on employee corruption cases, and even directly alarmed the police. Corruption occurred in relevant departments such as the Marketing Department. The positions involved senior management and employees at all levels, with about 5 people involved. 36Kr then contacted an insider of JD to verify, but the other party also said that he was not aware of this for the time being.

On September 21, Baidu also issued a "Notice of Serious Discipline Violations", including 17 serious disciplinary violations, including the registration of Nuomi, Beijing Customer Development Department, Channel Department, Commerce Cooperation Department, Search Product Market, Tieba, Duoku Games, Mobile Distribution and other departments. In terms of punishment measures, the minority of the punishment will be expelled, and the worst of the punishment will be transferred to the judicial authorities.
Baidu Nuomi is the key punishment department for this anti-corruption campaign. More than half of these 17 penalties came from Baidu Nuomi and its branches, which involved the interest clearance of Nuomi headquarters and local branches in terms of order brushing, false reimbursement, false performance, etc.
The rigorousness of this investigation and punishment is also very rare in Baidu's history, and it involves an investigation into the work behavior of some resigned interns at that time. The "Notice of Serious Discipline Violations" specifically pointed out that "Zhang Jing, Feng Yue and Fan Shipeng (interns) of the Nuomi Marketing Department have committed fraud in the market activities and have given the activity prizes to their relatives and friends. The company has ordered three people to return the encroached prizes. Due to suspected embezzlement, the police have accepted the report of our company to intervene in the criminal investigation."
Fan Shipeng later said in an interview with the media that his behavior during work was in line with Baidu Nuomi's activity procedures at that time: in order to increase the enthusiasm of the event, he encouraged relatives and friends to participate in the event. Due to poor participation in the event, his friend finally won most of the prizes and "complied with the original rules."
It was a year since Fan Shipeng's internship ended, and the internship was also completed with a normal process. No one notified him to assist in the subsequent investigation. After seeing the company's investigation and punishment a year later, he said he was "unacceptable".
The meticulous investigation of this case is also reflected in that in addition to the senior executives of the accountability department, "Titaiba employees accept bribes to rewind for novel websites, Duoku Game employees privately sell game coins to players, and employees of the mobile distribution product department were stolen from Baidu resources to develop software for their own external companies," and were all listed on the list.
When an enterprise develops to a scale of tens of thousands of people, any department involving large capital flows and concentrated power may experience corruption, and the anti-corruption department is also a permanent department of the large Internet.
Large companies such as Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu, Huawei and ZTE all have their own anti-corruption mechanisms. Among them, Alibaba also specially set up the "Ministry of Integrity" and "Compliance Department" to be responsible for investigating internal corruption, and has discovered many exchanges of interests among internal executives and merchants in recent years. The recent example is Yan Limin, former general manager of Juhuasuan, who has been handed over to Hangzhou police for governance.
Baidu's anti-corruption campaign is mainly informed by internal emails, and in 2011, the Baidu Professional Ethics Construction Department was established. The staff of this department are mainly those who have been engaged in professional professions such as internal audit, prosecutors and police. Generally speaking, the department takes confidential measures when conducting internal investigations and reports directly to the top management without passing the head of the department involved.
According to the recruitment inspiration of the department, it can be roughly inferred its important position in corporate anti-corruption: "It is required to graduate from a law major, have more than 5 years of work experience related to investigation/investry, and those with judicial investigation work experience are preferred. The work content includes: accepting reports or reports from different channels, adopting appropriate investigation plans and means to identify facts, extract evidence from people and physical evidence, and questioning the persons involved."
Since the establishment of the department, internal corruption cases have been solved many times. In 2012, the department informed several employees of Baidu Community Service Department and Public Affairs Department to collude with external personnel and charge for payment to delete posts. One of the Baidu employees even obtained an illegal income of 67,400 yuan in half a month through this method.
In November 2014 and May 2015, the Baidu Ministry of Professional Ethics Construction also handled two large-scale Baidu anti-corruption cases. They involved Baidu's enterprise market and channel department areas, game business department, search resource cooperation department, brand display advertising department, display advertising operation planning department, alliance development department, etc., and were all handed over to judicial authorities for reporting the case at that time.
Song Yang, head of JD.com's public relations, told 36Kr that JD.com also has a "resolute and zero tolerance" state of corruption cases. There is a "Integrity JD" public service account within JD.com, which is used to publish supervision announcements within JD.com Group and conduct regular anti-corruption training and anti-corruption system interpretation activities. In various logistics warehouses and distribution stations on JD.com, some processing of corruption in procurement and sales employees will also be frequently announced.
Liu Qiangdong himself felt the corruption incident even more deeply. In many public speeches, Liu Qiangdong recalled that when he first started a business and opened a restaurant, the financial and purchasing people fell in love with him and put the company's money together, causing the restaurant to lose money. "In addition to proving that I am capable of doing something, I also have a firm belief: to be a company that is not illegal and does not embezzle," said Liu Qiangdong.
Liu Qiangdong's words may represent the voice of these entrepreneurs with zero tolerance for corruption: "The company suspects that you have greedyed 100,000 yuan. Even if you spend 10 million to investigate and collect evidence, you must find out. Don't say tens of thousands or thousands of yuan, even if you dare to take a penny, I will definitely fire you. I will not tell you any feelings, and I will not have any hesitation."
The following is the full text of the "Notice of Serious Discipline Violations" issued by Baidu:
[Important] Baidu Company Professional Ethics Committee - Notice on Serious Discipline Violations Cases
The following is the summary of a number of disciplinary violations that the Ministry of Professional Ethics has investigated and handled in 2016. The company's management is asked to forward the case notification email to all Baidu employees.
The Professional Ethics Committee will continue to increase the intensity of investigation and punishment of corruption in accordance with the requirements of the company's management, and handle and expose corruption cases. Any violation of national laws will be resolutely transferred to judicial authorities for handling in accordance with the law.
We hope that by investigating and reporting these violations of discipline, the alarm bell will keep ringing, reminding and alerting Baidu students: be in awe and stick to the red line of the company system.
Abide by professional ethics is the minimum requirement for Baidu people to practice the "simple and reliable" values. Managers at all levels of the company are required to strengthen the education of core values in their respective teams to ensure more effective implementation of the company's professional ethics and behavioral norms.
On the one hand, the company strictly deals with employees who violate discipline in accordance with the company system and national laws and cleans up the internal environment; on the other hand, it actively promotes the company system and the bottom line of clean government. I sincerely hope that all students will learn from it, not forget their original aspirations, live up to their dreams, and work hard on the Baidu platform to realize their self-worth.
If students find any behavior or clues that employees violate the company's professional ethics code, they are welcome to report it. The Professional Ethics Committee will check all reporting emails to the end.
