Ant Group is about to make history with record-breaking IPOs in Hong Kong and Shanghai. How did it become so big?

By Yasufumi Saito Close Yasufumi Saito , Jing Yang Close Jing Yang and Stella Yifan Xie Close Stella Yifan Xie Oct. 27, 2020 7:36 am ET What Is Ant and What Is It Worth? Ant Group Co. ’s initial public offering is poised to break global records for total funds raised.

How Did Ant Get Started? Ant grew out of an online escrow service called Alipay that was created in 2004 within online retailer Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. Jack Ma, Alibaba’s co-founder and then-chief executive later carved out the business. That led to an outcry from Alibaba’s foreign investors, before Mr. Ma created a way Alibaba would continue to profit.

It’s dangerous.

You are mediocre because, 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲. It kills you comfortably. Follow Me to get more wisdoms like these.

Pnoz scam.

Since 96% of its revenue is still locked in China. This means that the company has legs to grow & replicate its product offering to other countries. No wonder its valuations are massively huge. Here you have a tech company that is supported by fundamentals.

CCP backing. Duh

CCP propping it up.

The world just helped to build the CCP empire IPO to the tune of $3 Trillion. What a jackpot from $30 billion IPO projection to what we are hearing. Jack Ma is now the real king of CCP. Hope Xi will give him an award that is worth the amount he is rolling into Chinese economy.

IPOs are fun until the investors realize they are putting money in the communists' pockets.

CCP Wall Street raised

Something to do with JoeBiden and his son 😉

Because u help him, right ?

A guy bought bitcoin from the FEDS bc its not fungible and can be confiscated. And then took profits off dumbshits and invested a bunch of it into ANT. That's how. Draper is dope, $BTC is shit though when it comes to being SOUND. Fungibility matters long run.

don't know. Are you bored? Jump outta building but don't forget your parachute.

good luck
