How did Jack Ma hollow out Yahoo China, and how many shares did Jack Ma hold in Yahoo

In 2005, Alibaba acquired all of Yahoo's assets in China and received a $1 billion investment from Yahoo, which replaced a 40% stake in Alibaba Group. In September 2012, Alibaba Group spent $7.6 billion to recover 21% of the shares from Yahoo, and its own Yahoo China has completely become a useless "waste man", and even needs Ali to spend money to support, and now the Chinese Yahoo team will move from Beijing to Hangzhou to do Alibaba's public welfare project.

In the past, Yahoo was also quite important in China, and the two products of Yahoo Mail and Yahoo Pass were among the best in their kind. After Ali owns Yahoo China, on the one hand, it is to transfer the technical strength of Yahoo China to **search; On the other hand, Yahoo China is constantly tossing and turning, one time to do portals, and one time to do search.

When Ma Yun first took over Yahoo China, he announced that he would do a good job in search rankings, cancel all the channels and content of the original portal, and then had to restore the channels and content, and then began to learn from Sina to establish a knowledge hall, and also wanted to try his best to take the direction of entertainment.

Do you think it might, Yahoo used to be all the rage in the United States when the internet was unexpected. Alibaba and Yahoo acquired Yahoo China by way of a share swap. But because of the problem of the third-party payment license, Ma Yun had to transfer Alipay to the company under his control, not to mention hollowing out Yahoo China!

Jack Ma is Yahoo's largest shareholder, with a 49% stake.

Alibaba Group and Yahoo said in a joint statement on Monday that Alibaba Group will use $6.3 billion in cash and up to $800 million in new Alibaba Group preferred shares to buy back half of Yahoo's stake in Alibaba Group, or 20 percent of Alibaba Group's shares. In the event of an initial public offering of Alibaba Group in the future, Alibaba Group will have the right to repurchase 50% of the remaining shares held by Yahoo at the time of the initial public offering. The transaction will establish a healthier and more balanced shareholding structure for Alibaba Group.

Hope it helps.

In fact, Jack Ma has acquired part of Yahoo's business.

Anyone who wants to buy something or not has to consider two questions.

This stuff you buy it is not a very urgent need.

The price is not worth it.

Around these 2 questions, you can find some news and analysis on the Internet to see, my conclusion is that you should not buy, reason:

Ma Yun wants to buy Yahoo, more of a defensive posture, what he is most afraid of is Microsoft's acquisition of Yahoo, Microsoft has always been very tough, will not be as easy to fool as Yahoo, Ma Yun can buy Yahoo, then the card is in his own hands.
