马云造访《财富》杂志办公室，披露惊人野心

阿里巴巴CEO马云不久前与联合国年度大会有关的一项活动，并参观了《财富》杂志的办公室。他的谈话内容包括：

——虽然目前海外业务仅占到阿里巴巴的5%，但他预计在10年内这一比例将达到40%。

——他认为，在20年内，阿里巴巴处理的商品价值将达到1万亿美元，相当于在当前基础上翻一番。

——他从未将亚马逊（Amazon）视作竞争对手，因为实际上，阿里巴巴并不采购商品进行出售，而是为买卖双方提供一个虚拟平台以及物流和金融服务。他说：“我们的目标不是成为亚马逊。而是帮助每一家公司都变成亚马逊。”

——他认为他所提出的“世界电子贸易平台”（e-WTP），代表了全球贸易协定的未来，因为它“是由商业而不是政府推动的”。

两年前，这家中国电子商务巨头进行了华尔街史上规模最大的IPO。公司股票一度上涨了38%，但在2015年，由于中国经济增长前景暗淡，公司股票在大部分时间持续下跌。但今年，公司股票强势回弹，阿里巴巴正在与腾讯角当亚洲最有价值的公司（按市值计算）。

一直以来，阿里巴巴只公布其平台交易的总商品价值，而不是公司的收入，因此，阿里巴巴始终没有进入按收入排名的《财富》世界500强排行榜。虽然美国证监会正在对公司的会计实践进行调查，但马云昨天表示： “我们应该做到对所有人透明。我们为他们提供了他们需要的所有信息。” （财富中文网）

Alibaba CEO Jack Ma was in town yesterday for an event tied to the UN’s annual meetings, and stopped by Fortune’s offices. Among his comments:

–While only 5% of Alibaba’s business is outside China today, he expects that to be 40% in ten years.

In 20 years, he believes the value of the merchandise handled by Alibaba will reach $1 trillion – double its levels today.

–He doesn’t see Amazon as a competitor, because Alibaba doesn’t actually buy the goods it sells, but rather provides a virtual platform and logistics and finance services for buyers and sellers. “Our job isn’t to be Amazon,” he says. “It is to allow every company to become an Amazon.”

–He believes his proposal for an “Electronic World Trade Platform” is the future of global trade agreements, because it is “driven by business not government.”

The Chinese ecommerce giant launched the biggest IPO ever on Wall Street two years ago. Shares surged 38% before tumbling through most of 2015 as growth prospects in China fell. But this year, shares have come back strong, and the company now vies with Tencent as Asia’s most valuable company by market capitalization.

Alibaba reports the Gross Merchandise Value of goods traded over its platform, rather than revenue – a distinction that keeps it from being listed on the Fortune Global 500, which ranks companies by revenue. It is being investigated by the SEC for accounting practices, but Ma said yesterday: “We should be transparent to everyone. We have given them all the information they asked for.”
