Jack Ma makes first appearance since October

Alibaba Group founder Jack Ma has made his first appearance since Chinese regulators cracked down on his business empire.

His absence had fuelled speculation over his whereabouts amid increasing official scrutiny of his businesses.

Last month, China’s central bank hauled in executives from Ant Group and ordered a major shake-up of the company’s operations.

Mr Ma is a founder and key shareholder of Ant Group, which is China’s biggest payments provider.

Before ordering the shakeup of the company, regulators had already scuppered Ant Group’s listing on the Hong Kong and Shanghai exchanges.

The $37bn share market offering was expected to be the biggest of 2020.

Separately, China’s State Administration for Market Regulation announced an investigation into Alibaba over monopolistic practices.

Suspicions about Mr Ma’s whereabouts were raised earlier this month, when he missed the recording of Africa’s Business Heroes, a television show on which he was a judge.

Although Alibaba attributed his absence to a scheduling conflict, several media reports said he had not been seen since making comments that were seen as critical of China’s banking system at a public event in Shanghai in October. – Source

How an Alibaba Receptionist Became One of the Company’s Top Executives

Before Judy Tong Wenhong became Alibaba’s “most inspiring partner,” she served as the company’s receptionist, then customer service representative, and finally, an inexperienced vice president who did not back down in facing tough challenges.

Tong was 30 years old when she joined the Chinese e-commerce hub in 2000.

Without any previous experience in the field, she applied for the post of administrative assistant in the company but did not pass the first interview, according to Women Of China. When she attempted to apply again, she was eventually given a chance to work at the front desk. However, a conflict with a colleague would result in her filing for resignation just one week later.

Despite her shaky start, it was her persistence that would eventually help her chart her destiny within the company. Her colleagues reportedly spoke highly of her foresight and meticulousness at her job as a receptionist.

Many noticed how she would go beyond her daily tasks, mailing Hangzhou-Shanghai train schedules to colleagues on business trips to Shanghai, stocking cold drinks for them during summer or assisting clients who have questions intended for customer services.

A year later, she was transferred to the customer support department. Three months after that, she returned to the administration division, but this time, she was promoted as director.

“It’s a great challenge for me to lead the group because I was just a receptionist in the past,” Tong was quoted as saying.

Her rise through the ranks would continue over the next six years, earning several promotions from managing the customer service center and the human resources department to eventually becoming vice president of different departments between 2007-2013, according to Reuters. – Source
