Alibaba chief executive officer David Wei told the press media that Alibaba.com would be his last job after attending APEC in early August. The remark dismissed a rumor that Mr Wei had planned to start his own business outside Alibaba group.
Mr Wei said despite the fact that he was not one of the 18 pioneers who set up the China-based Internet company, he still regarded himself as the group’s founder.
He said that he has joined Alibaba.com seven years ago and took the B2B company to IPO in Hong Kong by the end of 2007.
