Alibaba responded to the reporter that there is no problem with the above news, but there is no more news to disclose at present.
Next Monday is Ma Yun's 54th birthday and China Teachers' Day.
The company has inherited the long-term planning plan and will invest in education, environment and public welfare after the announcement.
Ma Yun said in an interview with the South China Morning Post recently, "10 years ago, I sat down with our executives and asked what I would do if Alibaba didn't have me. I am very proud that Alibaba's current governance system, corporate culture and continuous talent echelon allow me to walk away without causing harm. "
However, Ma denied that the inheritance plan announced at this time point was related to the changes in the business environment in China. He said it was a systematic plan, and he hoped to spend his time on education, environment and public welfare.
This is not the first time Ma Yun has announced that he will engage in education and environmental protection in the future. As early as 201365438+1October 15, when Ma Yun announced his resignation as CEO, he said that he was responsible for non-executive work such as strategic decision-making when he was the chairman of the board of directors.
"Starting from tonight 12, I will no longer be the CEO. From tomorrow on, business will be my ticket friend. " On May 20 13, on the stage of the 10th anniversary celebration of Taobao, Ma officially handed over the position of CEO to Lu Zhaoxi. Since that day, Lu Zhaoxi has become the new CEO of Alibaba Group, and Ma Yun is the full-time chairman of the board of directors. Ma Yun said that he would be engaged in environmental protection and education in the future. "
In an interview with the media at that time, he talked about topics such as values, corruption and family. Subsequently, the structure of Alibaba Group was adjusted and 25 business divisions were established, and the Group Strategic Executive Committee was in charge of the relevant business divisions on behalf of the Group.
From the dismantling of Taobao to Ali's Seven Swords, and now, Alibaba has repeatedly adjusted the organizational structure of various departments of the company to adapt to the new business development. After Ma Yun stepped down as CEO, his business continued to be refined, decentralized and promoted new people.
On July 2065438+2007 1 1, Alibaba announced the establishment of the "Five New Executive Committees". Jing Xiandong, CEO of Ant Financial, serves as the vice chairman of the "Five New Executive Committee", and other members include Tong,,, Zhang Jianfeng, Zhao Ying, Ni,,,, Jing Jie, etc.

Yang Weidong, the current rotating president of Culture and Entertainment Group, is also the CEO of Ali Music.
On September 5, 20 18, Ma Yun attended the Alibaba Public Welfare Day Education Forum and delivered a speech at the end. Different from the past, this time he didn't take off the manuscript, but took the prompt board. He said that he has benefited a lot from the development of Alibaba because he is engaged in the education industry. For business, "I wanted to play for two years, but I did it for 20 years."
It was also in this speech that Ma Yun announced that in the next few years, he would return to education and put all his energy and ideas into education, which he thought was crucial.
