The appointment was made so quickly! Who created the WeChat group for Jack Ma and Trump?

Today, I was eating noodles in a restaurant when a "breaking news" suddenly appeared on TV: Trump met Jack Ma in New York, who was affectionately called "Papa Ma" by some people all the time. Jack Ma seemed a little shy on TV. After walking out of the elevator with Trump, he smiled and nodded to the media.

Trump answered the media's questions as usual with "very good, very good", then shook hands with Jack Ma and walked into the elevator.

Only Jack Ma was left standing there.

Then Jack Ma began to answer reporters' questions: providing support to small and medium-sized enterprises in the Midwest of the United States, whose main products include clothing, wine and fruit, helping American farmers, and allowing American small and medium-sized enterprises to reach the Chinese market and other Asian countries and their consumers through the Alibaba platform.

Jack Ma is the first Chinese entrepreneur to meet with the media in public after Trump's election. For Jack Ma, meeting with politicians from various countries is already a common thing, and I believe he has no fewer "old friends" than Rui Chenggang.

News reports indicate that the person who arranged for Jack Ma to meet Trump could be Masayoshi Son, Michael Evans, Jay Clayton, or Kushner.

There is no need to say much about Masayoshi Son, the richest man in Japan. He is a major investor of Jack Ma and is still one of the largest shareholders of Alibaba Group. Not long ago, he visited Trump and said he would invest 50 billion to build American infrastructure. Michael Evans is the president and executive director of Alibaba Group and was once the vice chairman of Goldman Sachs Group. Trump has previously appointed many people with Goldman Sachs background to government positions. This is another layer of relationship.

There is also Jay Clayton, who was just appointed by Trump as the chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission. He was the underwriter's legal counsel when Alibaba was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2014. Trump's son-in-law Kushner once invested in a company called Cadre with Jack Ma.

These people are all in Jack Ma’s “circle of friends”. In fact, it is quite normal for someone of Jack Ma’s level to meet with Trump.

What is Jack Ma's rank? At least he is a senior UN official. You should know that Jack Ma has a UN red passport (Laissez-Passer). As a special adviser to the UN, Jack Ma's official category in the UN is equivalent to that of the UN Assistant Secretary-General. There is nothing wrong with the UN Assistant Secretary-General meeting the President of the United States of America.
