1999当时,孙正义创立的软银公司在中国投资市场上已经积累了一定的声誉和实力。阿里巴巴是一个成长迅速的初创企业,其创始人马云和软银创始人孙正义在业界互相认识。孙正义对马云的创业想法和理念非常认同,于是在1999年,软银决定向阿里巴巴注资1000万美元,成为阿里巴巴的早期投资者之一。
随着阿里巴巴的业务不断扩张和发展,软银不断增加投资,成为阿里巴巴最大的外部股东之一。
2014年,阿里巴巴在美国上市,软银也因此获得了丰厚的回报。孙正义和马云的友谊也在这个过程中不断加深,并成为互相尊敬的商业伙伴。
In 1999, SoftBank, founded by Masayoshi Son, had already accumulated a certain reputation and strength in the Chinese investment market. Alibaba was a fast-growing startup, and its founder Jack Ma and SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son knew each other in the industry. Masayoshi Son agreed very much with Jack Ma's entrepreneurial ideas and concepts, so in 1999, SoftBank decided to invest $10 million in Alibaba and became one of Alibaba's early investors.
As Alibaba's business continued to expand and develop, SoftBank continued to increase its investment and became one of Alibaba's largest external shareholders.
In 2014, Alibaba went public in the United States, and SoftBank also received generous returns. The friendship between Masayoshi Son and Jack Ma continued to deepen in the process, and they became mutually respected business partners.
Masayoshi Son is the founder and chairman of Japan's SoftBank Group. He invested in Alibaba in 2000. At that time, Japan's SoftBank Group acquired Alibaba's globalization strategy for US$200 million.
