Jack Ma was <del>chillin with his homies<\/del> participating in a forum at Stanford University when he was asked directly if his company was going to snatch up Yahoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>We are very interested in Yahoo. Our Alibaba group is important to Yahoo and Yahoo is important to us\u2026All the serious buyers interested in Yahoo have talked to us.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Yahoo owns about 40% of Alibaba but Jack Ma has made it perfectly clear over the last year that buying back that percentage and giving Yahoo the boot is inevitable. Ma&#8217;s statement at Stanford is the first time he has discussed buying Yahoo entirely as a principal player instead of just a partner. Alibaba&#8217;s strong presence in Asian markets can definitely help Yahoo bounce back quickly and strongly, especially if Ma decides to slice up Yahoo&#8217;s properties as private entities or spin offs in order to give them better creative autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/allthingsd.com\/20110930\/jack-ma-at-stanford-we-are-very-interested-in-buying-yahoo\/\">All Things D<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alibaba eyes Yahoo takeover!
