In the early stage, there was heavy news that Alibaba founder Ma Yun and current chairman Tsai Chongxin significantly increased their holdings in Alibaba**. Up to now, the total shareholding of Jack Ma and Tsai Chongxin has surpassed that of Japan's SoftBank, and Jack Ma has become the largest shareholder of Alibaba.
In November 2020, Ant Financial's IPO was abruptly halted, and Jack Ma suffered a major blow since the establishment of Alibaba. For more than 3 years after that, Ma Yun, who was frustrated in the mall, was very low-key, basically staying away from China, but chose to travel abroad and discuss cooperation. Since then, Ant Group has also struggled, and in July 2023, it was even administratively punished by 712.3 billion yuan.
In March 2023, Ma Yun, who had not appeared for a long time, finally returned to China and appeared in Hangzhou. Although he had announced his retirement from Ali at this time, he was still accompanied by Daniel Zhang and Shao Xiaofeng, executive vice president of Ant Group. Surprisingly, Ma Yun, who was "free" at home, shifted his attention from e-commerce to education, aquaculture and other fields at this time, and successively invested a lot of money.
Entering 2024, everything has changed dramatically, and Ma Yun, who has long been separated from Ali's operation and management, was suddenly revealed to have increased his holdings in Ali**. According to reports, Jack Ma currently holds 65.2 billion shares, accounting for 24 percent of Alibaba's total share capital9%。Among them, Ma Yun's personal holdings of Ali** have reached 21.5 billion shares, accounting for 8 percent of Alibaba's total share capital2%。
At present, Ma Yun's sudden increase in Ali's holdings is nothing more than three considerations: first, Ma Yun stepped down as Ali's executive chairman in 2019, and can expand his voice and control by increasing his shareholdings, so as to ensure his status and prestige within Alibaba; Second, e-commerce has gone through the most difficult years to some extent, and it is also Ma Yun's confidence in Ali, which is currently 660 billion US dollars from its high point, which is undoubtedly the best time; Third, although the current economic situation has some twists and turns, but the market is expected to continue to be optimistic, in this case, increase the holdings of Ali, can strengthen market confidence, drive investors to increase investment in Ali, and further strengthen Ali, to a certain extent, Ma Yun and Ali have already been together, honor and share.
After Jack Ma became the largest shareholder of Alibaba, we will wait and see whether the market's confidence in Ali can be revived and whether Ali can make new progress in all aspects! Hotspot Engine Project It's not easy to create, please like and follow! Thank you.
