My understanding is that they're like eBay but for wholesale business type shit, too, and that makes buying and selling Chinese goods very easy.

That's a japanese accent. Chinese has an R in it. If anything, you should have mocked it "verr verr easy" because their R is harder and more drawn out than in English.

southern chinese, most of taiwanese, and all of hong kongers can't pronounce the Rs well so i'll allow it.

They don't. It's the data they have that's valuable. The real badass one, though, is Pinterest. I mean, it literally has mountains of data on the aesthetic preferences of millions of people regarding food, clothes, cars, vacations, houseware, etc. That's the real valuable one. People who like Mercedes also tend to like these kind of window dressings, etc. It already recommends "pictures" you might like based on things you've already pinned. Now all it has to do is sell the placement of ads in the exact same way.

Almost all their money comes from the Paypal-like part called Alipay, and IIRC almost no part of Alipay was included in the IPO. The founder kept almost all ownership of that. This makes it lulzy people invested in Alibaba.

I heard it on Marketplace which is American Public Media which just happens to run on a local NPR station for me. Its true. Alipay is their money maker.

But no, everybody's got to buy Alibaba because its 1) China 2) Internet 3) Next Big Thing (TM)

how does no one mention taobao? alibaba also owns taobao which is their version of eBay (consumer marketplace). basically no chinese person under the age of 30 doesn't shop on taobao.
