After the employee sexual assault on Alibaba and the disclosure that new employees were forced to play pornographic games in the “Icebreaker” project, a Chinese Internet user found on August 10 several photos of Zhao Wei, Jack Ma and others playing vulgar word guessing games, and said he was shocked.
The photos posted show Zhao Wei and Jack Ma in a parlor-like place, with Zhao Wei holding a tablet in her hand and Jack Ma in yellow clothes sitting on a sofa, surrounded by many other people in suits who look like they are not simple.
When the camera zooms in a little closer, you can see the words “urine” and “sexual vocalization” appear on the tablet Zhao Wei is holding, which are very vulgar.
In addition, in a book titled “A Closer Look at Jack Ma” published in 2014, 12 people including Shi Yuzhu, Feng Lun, Ren Zhiqiang, Liu Yonghao, Jiang Nanchun, and Zhao Wei described their views on Jack Ma from their perspectives. Zhao Wei is the only entertainment star among them. In the book, Zhao Wei did not elaborate on the process of getting to know Jack Ma, only that it was through “an ordinary meal.”
In the book, Zhao Wei used 3,600 words to describe Jack Ma in her eyes, including Jack Ma’s clothes, appearance, dealing with others, and temperament. It’s not difficult to tell that the two had a close relationship between the lines: Zhao Wei “goes to Jack Ma’s house to sing” and knows that he is “good at Mongolian long tune”; Jack Ma went to Zhao Wei’s classmates’ reunions and personally led her on a tour of Alibaba.
In France, Jack Ma bought a winery called “Chateau de Sours”, which covers an area of 85 hectares and is located in Bordeaux, a famous wine-producing region. “Little Swallow” Zhao Wei’s Menglong winery is also located there. It is said that Jack Ma’s investment was influenced by Zhao Wei. This shows that the two had a close relationship.
In addition, Jack Ma and Zhao Wei also met “Qigong Master” Wang Lin together. It was reported that there are more than ten photos of Wang Lin and Zhao Wei together, spanning a wide range of years. On July 15, 2015, Wang Lin was taken away by Pingxiang police in Shenzhen on suspicion of kidnapping and murder. He was later transferred to a hospital for supervised treatment due to illness and died of multi-organ failure on February 10, 2017.
It was reported that Zhao Wei’s acquaintance with Ma was actually entirely by virtue of his husband Huang Youlong’s relationship. Huang Youlong’s connections are extensive, and the most famous person he befriended was Jack Ma. When Jack Ma invited Bill Gates to dinner and attended the signing ceremony of the strategic cooperation agreement between Evergrande and Taobao, Huang Youlong accompanied him, and Jack Ma also appeared at the banquet of Huang Youlong’s father’s 80th birthday. So their relationship was anything but ordinary.
Zhao Wei and her husband Huang Youlong spent nearly HK$3.1 billion to purchase a 9.18% stake in Alibaba Pictures and became the company’s second largest shareholder. In April 2015, Alibaba Pictures soared, and the Zhao Wei couple’s shareholding booked a profit of HK$4.4 billion. A month later, Zhao Wei and her husband reduced their holdings of Alibaba Pictures shares, cashing out nearly HK$1 billion. Source
