The INSANE story of Jack Ma, and the story of Alibaba. Today we know him as Jack Ma, but back in 1964 when he was born in China, he was called Yun Ma, and it was a foreign tourist who suggested he use the English name Jack Ma. However, Jack Ma's beginnings were extremely humble - so the story of how he built Alibaba from nothing and grew the company to be worth billions of dollars is incredible. In fact, Alibaba had the largest IPO in history when it began selling shares on the stock market. And Jack Ma's other company, The Ant Group (Alibaba's fintech sister company) was also due to have the largest IPO in history - however events in China meant that was abruptly cancelled. And instead people began to ask: where is Jack Ma? This is the crazy story of Jack Ma & the rise of Alibaba! (Aka the rise & fall of Jack Ma). We'll also be looking at how Alibaba became a conglomerate, including its initial funding from Goldman Sachs and Masayoshi Son (Softbank) along with their launch of Taobao and business battle with eBay. The story of Alibaba is pretty crazy, and I hope you enjoy.
