Since July, there have been waves and clouds. First of all, under the background of the flood and the new Tangshan earthquake, we heard a shocking news: Ma Yun reduced his shareholding in Ali by about 18% (more than one sixth) and cashed in about 43 billion RMB. Coincidentally, while Ma Yun reduced his holdings, Ali No.2 Cai Chongxin also reduced his holdings, and the number of shares held dropped from 4 1 1 100 million shares to 347 million shares, a decrease of 15.57%. At present, Cai Chongxin's shareholding in Ali has dropped to 1.6%. The media also estimated the cash amount of Cai Chongxin, equivalent to about 654.38+0.2 billion yuan. Almost at the same time, Ma Hua Teng and No.2 Liu Chiping of Tencent are also reducing their shares, but the scale is much smaller than that of Ma Yun and Cai Chongxin. Then the question comes: Why are the founders of Ali and Tencent reducing their shares? I think the reasons are as follows:

First, the most likely reason is normal capital operation. Because for these companies, the possibility of individual behavior is very small, and most of the time it is the operation of the company team. At present, the American stock market continues to soar, and it is a wise choice to reduce its holdings when the stock price rises, which has limited impact on the stock price and little impact on the company. Moreover, for major shareholders, reducing its holdings is a relatively normal behavior.

Second, the market values of Ali and Tencent are now in the order of 5 trillion, ranking the top ten in the world. Although there may be some room in the long run, it is difficult to double the stock with a market value of 5 trillion. To tell the truth, if I am rich, I won't buy Ali or Tencent at this time, but if I am a major shareholder, I will definitely cash out some of it, and the cash can also be used to improve my life. Although it is already a human life, there are still many dreams waiting to be realized.

The third reason, I think, is related to the recent surge in the stock market. Recently, Changhong, the stock market, experienced an economic contraction from years ago to nearly half a year now, and major stocks rose in succession. At this time, it is in line with the economic interests of businessmen to realize some share assets. Ma Yun founded Ali, and Ali went public, which is the pursuit of profit maximization. Now that we have an ideal valuation, why not sell some? In this way, you can also spend your money where you want to spend it, and change your mind. You can't always put your eggs in the same basket.
