Reborn multinational giant

If it were someone else, I'm afraid that Fang Zhe and his wife, worried about the world's famous noise, would not and dare to invite them to the launch ceremony of their company.

Alima's overall thinking is obviously unusual, as can be seen from the ordinary people who gave up the position of holding the bell ringing ceremony to 8 as a reputation, but who have a good connection with Alibaba.

Among them were Olympic champions who opened Taobao stores, Taobao customer service after 90 years, Taobao girls who were Taobao models, couriers, and American farmers who sold Chelizi to China through Tmall.

President Ma did this, and it seemed that he did not care whether he could bring a real benefit to Alibaba. He arranged 8 ordinary people with a connection to Alibaba. He had enough topics and stories, but also allowed investors and shareholders to see that he and Alibaba attached great importance to customers and employees, and saw Alibaba's customer first, employee second, and shareholder third values!

Likewise, President Ma specifically invited Fang Zhe and his wife to attend Alibaba's listing ceremony, both because Fang Zhe is one of the major shareholders of Alibaba's core business Tmall, and because he hopes that Fang Zhe can be the platform for himself and Alibaba.

You know, in Wall Street and the West as a whole, Fang Zhe and the investors have much more prestige and influence than themselves and Alibaba, who are only famous and developing business in China. Fang Zhe represents the gathering of the people here on the platform. The impression of Alibaba has been greatly improved by Wall Street stock managers and investors!

At 9: 30 a.m., the listing ceremony officially began. Eight bell ringers representing Alibaba participated in the bell ringing ceremony. In the eyes of everyone, they pressed the button representing the opening of the NYSE.

The bell rang.

A round of applause swept across the trading hall, where Alibaba's logo appeared on various electronic screens.

Fang Zhe and Feng Xue equally applauded President Alibaba, who was surrounded by everyone.

At this time, Mr. Ma smiled, with unprecedented joy and joy on his face, raised his right hand and waved his hand to greet everyone.

Media and journalists not far away captured this very memorable moment for President Ma and Alibaba.

“Ah Zhe, I finally realized how you were feeling when the crowd came to market!" President Ma, who was delighted, suddenly came to Fang Zhe's ear and said a word without thinking.

Fang Zhe smiled and patted General Manager Ma on the shoulder. President Ma's words aroused Fang Zhe's memories. Last year at the same place on the same day, it was precisely the time of the launch of the New York Stock Exchange. At that time, Fang Zhe had a feeling of joy about the success of the ripe clan, but also needed to be relieved, relaxed, and mixed with a little confusion. I don't know if Ma always had the same mood as he had at the time.

In addition, Fang Zhe is also curious to know why Alibaba chose the listing time on the same day as the crowd. Fang Zhe does not believe that this is just a coincidence. President Ma is so arranged, I'm afraid there must be a deep sense.

Fang Zhe's curiosity was answered in the next Bloomberg media interview.

“Hi JackMa, I'm Mary from Bloomberg!" I interviewed Fang Zhe successively. President Liu's familiar face, Mary from Bloomberg, crossed the trading hall of the mountains and seas, and crowded in front of President Ma and Fang Zhe.

“Hello Mary!" Horse nodded to the familiar bloomberg reporter in a light green suit.

“Hello Fang Zhe, Mrs. Fang, it's good to see you again at NYSE!"

Mary greeted the Fang Zhe couple on the side again.

Fang Zhe and his wife also nodded to her and said hello.

Mary pointed the microphone at President Ma and said, "First of all, on behalf of Bloomberg, congratulate President Ma and Alibaba on their listing here, so I'd like to ask how you're feeling right now!"

As usual, Mary asked President Ma how she was feeling at the moment and got the answer she wanted: "Happy, very happy!"

Mary nodded with a smile and interviewed many of the company's founders or CEOs on the day of the company's launch, but so far she has not received any strange answers other than happiness.

“Good President Ma, now that you are very happy, I am also happy to interview you on a few questions, and hope you will be happy to answer them as well. ”

Mary asks her first interview question:

“First of all, I would like to ask, I think it is also many investors and Mr. Fang Zhe who stands beside you, a question that is particularly important. Why did Alibaba choose to go on the same day as the crowd, September 19!"

When Mary asked the question, Fang Zhe and Feng Xue on the side and many people nearby also raised their ears waiting for their curious answers.

President Ma smiled on his face. Since Alibaba confirmed that the listing time was the same day as last year's listing, many people have asked him. Various news media, public number from the media and so on have speculated, but it is President Ma who has not responded to this question in public. He waited for today, this is the moment, when Fang Zhe stood beside him, and then answered this question.

President Ma looked at Fang Zhe and replied: "If it is a coincidence that you will not believe it, then I can only say that it is a good sign. Since the crowd achieved good results on this day of the launch last year, I certainly hope that Alibaba will achieve good results on the same day. ”

President Ma is talking and there is a shock in the trading hall. It is seen that Alibaba's share price has increased by 10% compared to the issue price!

Alibaba's rising share price momentum also seems to confirm Matsu's remarks about Geely and the good omen.

President Ma's face was more delighted. Fang Zhe and Feng Xue glanced at each other. It seemed that neither of them had thought of the reasons and answers given by President Ma. It was actually so simple and pure.

“Congratulations, Mr Ma!" Mary also congratulated him, recalling at the same time that another CEO of Jingdong, a Chinese e-commerce company, had interviewed him in Nasdaq a few months earlier.

At that time, when I was interviewing myself, the stock price of Jingdong rose slowly. Mary still remembered that President Liu was good and arrogant at that time. However, later, the stock price trend of Jingdong was not as good as that of President Liu. I wonder if President Ma and his Alibaba will repeat the same mistake today.

Exactly, Mary's next question is also related to the last time President Liu and Jingdong, but Mary asked:

“A few months ago, another Chinese e-commerce company, Jingdong, was listed on another major US exchange, Nasdaq. Jingdong's CEO, Liu, claimed that their company was the first share of China's e-commerce business, and announced that he would beat Tmall and surpass Alibaba within a few years.

What do you think of his remarks at the time? Do you think JD has an opportunity to go beyond Alibaba? "
