The world’s leading internet-based company, Alibaba was founded in Hangzhou in 1999 by a group of people headed by Ma Yun (Jack Ma). A public company, its mission is “to make it easy to do business anywhere.” It has grown into an integrated online services platform that includes e-commerce, payments, banking, logistics, cloud computing, and big data, as well as health, sports, and digital entertainment. Around the world, it serves tens of millions of corporate members, almost ten million Taobao sellers, and hundreds of millions of consumers. 
The first website of Alibaba Group is Alibaba.com, a global wholesale marketplace in English. At the same year, a China marketplace (currently known as “1688”) which focuses on the domestic wholesale trade is launched, and has become a global leader of online and mobile commerce.
In September, 2014, Alibaba Group has been listed on New York Stock Exchange. At present, Alibaba Group and its associated companies are mainly engaged in wholesale and retail platforms, which are leading the industry, as well as many other internet-based businesses, including advertising and marketing services, electronic payment, cloud computing and network service, mobile solution, and so on.
