Alibaba Group CEO meets with Prime Minister

 

  

HANGZHOU, 6 September 2016 (NNT) - The CEO of one of China’s largest companies, Jack Yun Ma of Alibaba Group, has taken the opportunity to meet with Thailand’s Prime Minister while he was in Hangzhou, China for the Group of 20 summit (G20). 

Prime Minister Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha yesterday was visited by the chief executive officer of Alibaba Group, one of China’s largest E-commerce corporations, Jack Yun Ma. The two discussed supporting and developing small and medium enterprises in Thailand, with the premier pointing out up to 90 percent of Thailand’s exports are from SMEs while noting that they have been lacking in proper management. He invited the successful CEO to share his experiences and knowledge with Thai businesses as well as to aid in creating an SME network in Thailand, which he said would also benefit foreign investors. 

Ma meanwhile, lauded the Gen Prayuth for prioritizing SMEs, giving his view that current global conditions benefit large corporations while serving as an obstacle to small enterprises. Nonetheless, he indicated he believes new avenues of sale will dominate in the next 30 years. 

He also noted Thailand has many strong supporting factors for business, such as quality human resources, and said that with the application of new technology it could greatly boost its competitiveness. He said his company is looking to use its Alitrip system to boost travel to Thailand by Chinese citizens.

The premier concluded the meeting by urging the CEO to work with Thailand’s OTOP makers with the businessman responding he was interested in the sector.

There are more than 40 thieves in government.

A post containing a disallowed reference to the PM has been removed, please read the UPDATED NOTICE TO MEMBERS POSTING IN THAILAND NEWS for clarification. 

 

Quote  Ma meanwhile, lauded the Gen Prayuth for prioritizing SMEs, giving his view that current global conditions benefit large corporations while serving as an obstacle to small enterprises.  unquote Well folks there you go right out of the tycoons mouth himself. "Current global conditions benefit large corporations while serving as an OBSTACLE to small enterprises" Looks like the PM has that "where is the bathroom" look on his face.

 Mr. Jack is only interested in pushing his own agenda in Thailand and making lots more money for his own huge cooperation, and himself of course. 

 

 

Alibaba's Jack Yun Ma was quite flattering when he commented on the quality of human resources in Thailand but made no mention of the quantity of quality human resources or the productivity (or lack thereof) of those same resources. 

 

There is now a well worn track that detours Thailand by corporations looking to invest in manufacturing industries in Asia. They now all head for Vietnam, Cambodia and lately Myanmar where the work ethic is higher and productivity greater.

 

Thailand is awash with hubs and networks like the SME network the PM mentions. They are all gabfesting and feasting on slap-up buffet lunches but whether anything comes from them probably no one knows. But it all looks impressive and as a fallback position the slow deterioration in the Thailand economy can always be blamed on the overall global economy.

Prayut and his team want to discuss prompt pay. The old chestnut is not so well IT advanced. His 5 year retirement plan. Alibaba know his not a permanent fixture 

He has no clue what's going on. But trying to muscle in on any action. The ship sailed long ago general. Take the tug boat.

Who is the little puppet in center. Is he writing Prayut novel : Rise of the Siam Fox.

Not to put too fine a point on it, jack Ma met most world leaders at the G20, not that Prayut is regarded as a world leader , not even worldly, .............................................

Not at all, the little puppet in the centre is about to explain to Uncle Jack,  in Chinese, that Uncle Too is dissatisfied with the order of kitchen knives that he recently received from Alibaba. Apparently, they won't hold an edge.

Yes there full of shit

Members on this forum should hold respect for Jack Ma. About 10 years a go he was like many on here teaching English, not sure if he was a Tefler though, and now he is one of the richest men in the world.

Jack ma absolute b2b superstar.

Alibaba is for anyone to use as is global sources.  They are not just for Chinese companies.  Why does Thailand need a special one ?  Thainess ?  Again this is just another example of the lack understanding the inbred, elites have of the outside world.   

Well he pretty much already owns the largest e-Retailer in Thailand, Lazada.

 

One assumes he is 'cementing' his position?

Alibaba already lists Thai enterprises, so this looks like the little general is setting himself up for facilitation fees, a page from the Hillary Clinton pay to play book. 

That opportunity should be given to a Thai company first.

With his money you can buy just about anything. In the end his life ticket will be punched just like the rest of us. I wonder if Budda or God has a book keeper that can take a real look at this guys life. The first million is the easiest.
