But because he was wearing a mask, the stadium of 40,000 Alibaba employees only broke into surprised applause when he stepped forward and took off the bejewelled accessory. What an entrance. 。

Why Jack Ma is Asia's richest man。

Alibaba is often referred to as China's Amazon, running the biggest B2B marketplace, as well as the consumer retail juggernaut, Taobao. 。

Consider that in comparison, Black Friday last year saw $4.45 billion in spending. 。
