<h4>After Alibaba acquires a company: </h4>
No matter where the company is, and which industry it is in. 
  1. Hold a meeting in Hangzhou (Alibaba HQ) to define the KPIs;
  2. Realise that the acquired company could not achieve the KPIs;
  3. Parachute a senior manager from Hangzhou into the company to stress the KPIs, and ensure that the KPIs can be achieved;
  4. Realise that the senior managers sent in can’t achieve the KPIs either;
  5. Restructure the company, and fire those old employees who do not share the “Alibaba value”;
  6. Declare that the KPIs have been achieved – the senior manager returns to Hangzhou for a promotion; someone else is sent from Hangzhou to sort out the mess;
  7. Declare that the company’s strategy is in conflict with the Group, and shut down the company.
