Alibaba founder Jack Ma’s whereabouts have been a mystery since he was officially “interviewed” in November last year. However, according to Russian media, Ma, who is rarely seen, recently attended the meeting of the Supervisory Board of the Russian Geographical Society via video. But Ma did not speak throughout the meeting.
The video circulated on the Internet shows that Ma attended the meeting of the Supervisory Board of the Russian Geographical Society held by Russian President Vladimir Putin recently.
On April 14, Russian President Vladimir Putin presided over a meeting of the Supervisory Board of the Russian Geographical Society, and Jack Ma attended the meeting via video, according to an April 14 report by RIA Novosti.
According to the report, Ma did not speak throughout the nearly two-hour meeting, but only listened to other participants’ exchanges and reports, and occasionally picked up a cup of tea to drink.
Ma said at the Bund Financial Summit in Shanghai in October last year that “China is not a financial systemic risk, China’s finance is basically risk-free, it is the lack of systemic risk.” “We now have a strong ability to manage, not enough ability to supervise, good innovation is not afraid of regulation, but afraid of yesterday’s way to regulate, we can not use the management of the train station to manage the airport, can not use yesterday’s way to manage the future.”
Jack Ma has rarely appeared in the public eye since he angered Beijing with this blast at China’s financial system. His properties have also been subjected to successive overhauls by the Chinese Communist Party authorities. Ant Financial’s IPO listing plan was then halted by Chinese Communist Party officials.
On April 12, the four major financial authorities – the People’s Bank of China, the Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, the Securities Regulatory Commission and the Foreign Exchange Bureau – interviewed Ant Group again, so that Ant Group has been interviewed three times since last November.
In November 2020, Ant Group was interviewed for the first time, and 1 day after the interview, Ant Group suspended its listing. in December 2020, Ant Group was interviewed for the second time.
On April 10, Alibaba was officially qualified as a “two-for-one” monopoly and was fined 18.228 billion RMB, making it the largest anti-monopoly fine in China’s history.
Meanwhile, Lakeside University, known as Jack Ma’s Whampoa Military Academy, was also rumored to have failed to open at the end of March as scheduled.
On April 9, Lakeside University, which was founded by Jack Ma to train business elites, was forced to stop enrolling new students. Registration for first-year students, which was scheduled to begin at the end of March, has been halted. It is unclear when new student registration will resume.
When Ma announced his retirement in 2019, he once said that after retirement, he wanted to do his old job and also become a teacher. Ma was an English teacher before he joined the business world. Lakeside University, located in the Lakeside Garden neighborhood of Hangzhou, where Alibaba started back then, was founded in 2015. Its founders include Jack Ma, Vantone Group boss Feng Lun, Fosun International chairman Guo Guangchang, Giant Network Group chairman Shi Yuzhu and eight other well-known entrepreneurs.
Lakeside University is personally taught by entrepreneurs such as Jack Ma and Chuanzhi Liu, and enrollment is aimed at business decision-makers, with the requirements of having been in business for more than 3 years, having annual revenue of more than RMB 30 million, and having paid taxes for more than 3 years. The average age of the students is 38 years old at the time of enrollment, and the average number of years of entrepreneurship is over 11 years.
Hong Kong’s “Tuan Media” said in an April 12 article that Jack Ma once said in a speech to private entrepreneurs in 2013 – “Almost none of the Chinese entrepreneurs end well. “, which seems to foresee his today.
A netizen left a message saying, “Ma Yun didn’t end well, who will be the next one who can’t end well?”
