At a financial conference in 2020, Mr. Ma was sharply critical of China's financial system. He bluntly stated that China's financial system is too old to fit the times, which seriously hinders innovation. However, this speech put Ma Yun in a predicament, at the critical moment of Ant Group's listing, Ma Yun's speech directly made him interviewed by the relevant departments, and Ant Group suspended its listing and received a sky-high fine of 7.1 billion.
In fact, the reason why Jack Ma is in such a predicament is not just because of his remarks. The real reason is Ant Group's high leverage ratio, Ant Group's own capital ratio is only 1%, and it has leveraged trillions of business scale with tens of billions of funds. Such a high leverage ratio will be paid for by the whole society once it thunders, which is why the relevant authorities will strictly review Ant Group.
Mr. Ma's speech at the financial summit sparked a lively discussion, and he criticized the Basel Accord as a club for seniors. However, the deal plays an important role in the stability of the financial system, and Ant Group's high leverage violates the requirements of the agreement, which has also raised questions about Mr. Ma's remarks.
Although Jack Ma's speech at the financial summit sparked controversy, he did not stop his investment actions because of this. Since 2015, Jack Ma has begun to "cash out in a low-key manner". According to the statistics of "New Fortune", Ma Yun has cashed out a total of 96.4 billion, and recently there was news that he is about to cash out 6.3 billion. Jack Ma's stake has grown from 78% to 48%, and its cumulative cash-out funds have reached nearly 100 billion.
After cashing out 100 billion, Ma Yun's life became more luxurious, and he was photographed appearing in Mallorca, Spain, wearing a white suit holding a club, and concentrating on playing golf. His luxury yacht is docked on the shore, waiting for him to board at any time, and this low-key and luxurious life is enviable.
However, Jack Ma has not been immersed in this luxurious life, and he has also been photographed teaching at the University of Tokyo in Japan, and seems to be enjoying this state very much. He also frequented the Ginza Club in Japan, which was only accessible to the wealthy and royalty. Ma Yun also often goes to the snow-capped mountains to soak in hot springs, and his life is very nourishing.
In addition to enjoying life, Jack Ma's business territory is also expanding. His investment areas began to involve agriculture, agriculture, public welfare and environmental protection. Not only has he achieved great success in business, but he is also contributing to society. However, Jack Ma's luxury lifestyle and investment behavior have also sparked some controversy.
Some people believe that as a technology company and a big man in the technology industry, he should be like Musk and do some exploration in the field of cutting-edge science and technology, instead of competing with the people for profitHis investment behavior has also been accused of robbing ordinary people of their jobs, but despite this, Ma Yun still adheres to his investment philosophy.
In March of this year, Jack Ma unexpectedly returned to China, and the core goal of this return may be to save Alibaba. However, observing Ma Yun's state, compared with the high-spirited back then, only 3 years apart has a sense of heroic twilight. Judging from the recently exposed **, Ma Yun's image has changed greatly, with gray hair, tired face, dull eyes, and a slightly hunchback, which makes him look listless.
Recently, his investment actions have been ** out again. He founded a company called Ma's Kitchen, which includes food sales and food internet sales, which has led to speculation that he may be going into the field of prepared food.
Prefabricated dishes are the next trillion-level new "blue ocean" market, and Jack Ma's vision is indeed very accurate. Moreover, Ma Yun himself is backed by Ali and has the top e-commerce retail system and logistics system in China.
However,This investment behavior has touched the sensitive nerves of some netizens, who are worried about the nutrition, health and safety of prefabricated dishes. Moreover, they believe that Jack Ma, as a technology company and a big man in the technology industry, should not compete with the people for profit, but should do some exploration in the field of cutting-edge science and technology.
In any case, Jack Ma's investment behavior has caused a lot of controversy, with some people supporting his investment philosophy, believing that he has achieved great success in business and contributed to society. Some people criticize his investment behavior, believing that he should not compete with the people for profit, but should do some exploration in the field of cutting-edge science and technology.
