months have passed, Jack Ma has changed from "Come on, Alibaba" to "I am proud because I am an Alibaba person". Where does the confidence come from?
The boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains?
In fact, Jack Ma’s attitude change is related to Alibaba’s development trajectory. When Alibaba made its announcement in April this year, Alibaba had just concluded its intense internal adjustments, and its drastic path of change made the market very worried. At that time, after his retirement, Jack Ma rarely shared his views on the company's reform and innovation in a long way, affirming Cai Chongxin and Wu Yongming's determination and attitude towards proactive change. He also said that "the road to reform and innovation will never be accompanied by applause."
Months have passed, and Alibaba has indeed undergone significant changes. Not only has its business synergized across multiple curves and grown significantly, it has also gone through a three-year cycle and won the recognition of regulators.

Both Jack Ma and Alibaba have kept a low profile.
Some netizens questioned in the comment area of related topics. Is Jack Ma’s “11 prides” too high-profile? In fact, compared to Alibaba's 20th anniversary party five years ago, which had an atmosphere comparable to a concert, this was already extremely low-key.

This incident was also like a "watershed" ". Subsequently, Alibaba bid farewell to its "rapid growth". The glory of the former king of e-commerce gradually faded, and Jack Ma also kept a low profile or even "disappeared."
In the days that followed, Alibaba learned to keep a low profile and proactively embrace changes and reforms. After experiencing a year of changes in 2023, Alibaba has made decisive and clear choices and achieved certain results. For example, as mentioned above, its AI-related product revenue has achieved triple-digit growth, and its public cloud business has achieved double-digit growth, which to a certain extent proves the strategic value of many early adjustments.
However, financial report data shows that the group’s operating profit fell by 15% year-on-year in this quarter, and net profit fell by 27% year-on-year.
