Jack Ma says that he's always in love with the government, but doesn't want to marry them.
At the heels of a record $25 billion Alibaba IPO with the New York Stock Exchange, Founder and Executive Chairman Jack Ma is fast becoming a household name in Western media and circles. Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg have had several profiles and clips on the even wealthier billionaire from China. I wanted to see about penetrating this market with my management consulting services, so I spoke to a Chinese friend one time. Basically he said that one would have to be Chinese to really get in what truly seems like an inscrutable, insular world. But not only does Ma have intimate knowledge of what goes on in that (his) world, but also he clearly has an engaging, knowledgeable demeanor about him that, I'm sure, endears him to the West.
