board of directors, the logic of the five directors (non-independent directors) of Alibaba Group has been relatively clear: 2 mainland Chinese people rely on the positions of Alibaba Group, and 3 foreigners rely on the capital behind them.
Among the three foreign directors and non-independent directors of Alibaba Group, Japan Softbank must have one seat, and North America has two seats.
In fact, after the founder's withdrawal, the Ali Group board of directors has already had obvious: iron-fighting US and Japanese seats and flowing water mainland seats.
Alibaba 's five non-independent directors, the CEO and CFO are mainland Chinese, and they become directors because of their positions. The Japanese directors come from the major shareholder SoftBank, and the two Canadian directors are behind North American capital.
If you trace the origin of the change in control of Alibaba Group, it is clearer, because Yahoo was once a major shareholder of Alibaba. After Yahoo exited, the founder of Alibaba also left, but the influence of the North American department has always been , On the contrary, the right to speak is even greater. Simply put, after Yahoo's withdrawal, new North American forces took over Yahoo's position, and the void left by the exit of the founder of Ali was also occupied by the strength of North America (the United States, Canada).
The influence of U.S. and Japanese capital in Alibaba is also different. Japan’s and Softbank are major shareholders, which is more obvious. North American capital uses "agents", which is more hidden. .
After Yahoo, Alibaba still has two Canadian giants and non-independent directors. The essence is that they have been developing in the United States all the year round. These two individuals are:
- Alibaba's permanent partner, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors Chua Chongxin (Joseph Tsai)
- Alibaba President and non-independent director of the board of directors J. Michael EVANS p p
Joseph Tsai was originally from Taiwan, but he is already Canadian. He used to serve as the chief legal counsel of Rosecliff, Inc., a management buyout of in New York, and also served as a lawyer in the taxation group of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, an international law firm headquartered in New York. Cai Chongxin is qualified as a practicing lawyer at , New York State, USA, and holds a bachelor's degree in economics and East Asian studies from Yale School and a juris doctor degree from Yale Law School .
Fundamentally speaking, Cai Chongxin is Canadian, but he lives and works in New York, USA all the year round. The famous NBA is the owner of the New York Nets and is also Cai Chongxin.
J. Michael EVANS is the director and president of Alibaba. Evans joined Goldman Sachs in 1993 and was also a partner of Goldman Sachs in New York and London in 1994. Served in various leadership positions in the securities business department.
Joseph Tsai (Joseph Tsai) and J. Michael EVANS have a relatively stable position in Alibaba, because their position comes from North American capital, not from their own position. The position within Alibaba has changed rapidly, but the control of capital has changed very slowly.
