Originated $ 1 billion deal
The origin of Alibaba and Yahoo have from five years ago.
August 11, 2005, Yahoo and Alibaba Group, announced in Beijing, Yahoo 10 billion, plus get all the assets of Yahoo China's Alibaba Group, 39% of the shares.
Awful at the time shocked the global Internet industry trade, it is generally agreed that Ma did a very good deal, but it is such a sale is in the details of the transaction were not disclosed foreshadowed.
Alibaba Group and Yahoo have signed a number of key provisions from 2010 major changes in October. Includes the following:
From October, the Alibaba Group holding 39% economic interest in Yahoo, their right to vote from the terms of the agreement was 35% to 39%, while Ma and other management of the voting rights reduced to 31.7% from 35.7%, Softbank to maintain 29.3% economic interest and voting rights remain unchanged, then Yahoo, Alibaba will become the largest shareholder of the real;

The analysts said on ZDNet, as "financial investors" will not rush in though Yahoo Alibaba Group's daily operations, but was able to become the Yahoo Terms of Alibaba shares sold for more when the interests of the weight, especially the loss of control of the Alibaba Group management team will always face an uncertain risk.
Fuse: in charge of Yahoo's Jerry Yang to step down Bartz
Agreement scheduled for 2005, but Yahoo's a few years after the completion of investment seems to never worried about Jack Ma in 2010, these changes may exist. Even in 2007, Alibaba B2B market reporter at the conference, the face of the 2010 "Alibaba CEO Jack Ma will not be dismissed" when the terms expire how to do the problem, Ma is very confident in answering a reporter's question said: "I said before 2010, I promise I will in, so I wrote the book on the 2010 Ma will not leave, not after 2010, they pushed me out."
Clearly, the Ma of Alibaba Yahoo does not look to have control over very confident. According to Alibaba insiders, former Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang and Ma both good personal relationships, and Yang before the cooperation is to promote the capital, but such a relationship perhaps Alibaba Group believes that even in 2010, Yahoo has not exercised these provisions conferred rights.
But the incident because of the ouster of Yahoo's founder Jerry Yang, CEO Carol Bartz came to power the new generation turning point.
There were foreign media reports, Ma took office in early 2009, when Butts visit to the United States, Bartz face in front of Alibaba's management, accusing Yahoo China Ma did not do a good job.
In this case, Ma and his management team began to re-examine 39% of Yahoo shares to the company's uncertainty.
Yahoo's insistence lead to conflict
In order to avoid the crisis of control, Alibaba Group began brewing company to reduce its stake in Yahoo, but Yahoo has not been consent.
In May, the shareholders of Alibaba's B2B business meeting, Alibaba Group Chief Financial Officer Caichong Xin said publicly that Alibaba would like to buy back the stake held by the hands of Yahoo, Alibaba is not short of money, but Yahoo is not willing to sell.
Alibaba is also close to the informed sources said, had planned to lobby a number of Alibaba China state-owned banks buy back from Yahoo, Alibaba Group shares, the existing management team to ensure that the voice on the board will not be replaced by Yahoo.
But all none of any progress, Yahoo spokesman on September 12, said in an interview, will maintain 39 percent of Alibaba's shares unchanged.
This is the Alibaba Group and Yahoo recently deteriorated relationship between the direct cause.
Alibaba Group, a wholly-owned unlisted assets Taobao and Alipay valuable, investment bankers estimated $ 10 billion in Taobao, Alipay $ 5 billion. Investment bank believes that the market can not make accurate estimates of these two companies being unwilling to sell Yahoo shares of Alibaba Group, one of the reasons Yahoo's best exit time listed or later Taobao and Alipay.
