Not long ago, Ant Group became the focus of public opinion because it was about to land on the A-share market.
1. The development history of Ant Group
Ant Group, formerly known as Alipay, was founded in 2004. As China's leading third-party mobile payment platform, the emergence of Alipay has greatly promoted the development of e-commerce in China. Subsequently, Ant Financial was established as the parent company of Alipay and gradually developed into a comprehensive technology and financial company, with business covering digital payment, small and micro finance, blockchain and other fields.
2. Ant Group's business model
Ant Group's business model has always attracted much attention, and its positioning of "small but beautiful" and the development concept of "making credit more inclusive" have won it a good reputation in the field of financial technology. Ant Group has empowered traditional financial businesses through technology, innovated in risk control and credit investigation, and provided a full range of financial services for small and micro enterprises and ordinary consumers.
3. Ant Group's IPO plan
With its good development momentum and huge business value, Ant Group has always attracted the attention of the capital market. In 2020, Ant Group finally announced the start of the listing process, planning to list in Hong Kong and Shanghai at the same time. It is also believed to be the world's largest initial public offering (IPO) of a technology company in recent years.
4. Ant Group's "double reduction" policy
Just as Ant Group was about to go public, there was news that the regulator would list it as a "fintech company". Subsequently, Ant Group was also interviewed by regulators, who launched a comprehensive regulatory inspection of it, mainly related to its "double reduction" policy.
The so-called "double reduction" policy refers to Ant Group's consumer credit products such as Huabei and Borrow. To a certain extent, these products have had a certain impact on the credit business of traditional banks, and there are also certain hidden risks. The regulator's interview with Ant Group is mainly to require it to carry out financial business in accordance with laws and regulations and earnestly fulfill its social responsibility of compliance operation.
Second, Ma Yun's personal words and deeds have been questioned
As the founder and soul of Ant Group, Jack Ma naturally became the focus of this incident. Some of his personal words and deeds and some views in public speeches have also become the object of questioning by the outside world.
1. Jack Ma's public speech

2. Jack Ma's personal image
In addition to some remarks in public speeches, Jack Ma's personal image and lifestyle have also attracted attention from the outside world. As a business tycoon and public figure, Jack Ma's every move may become a hot topic in society, and it has also received great attention.
3. Jack Ma's sense of social responsibility
In this incident, more and more people have begun to pay attention to the issue of Jack Ma's social responsibility. As a company about to go public, everything Ant Group presents is closely related to the values and social responsibility of its founder. The regulator's investigation of Ant Group is also believed to have a certain relationship with Jack Ma's personal words and deeds and sense of social responsibility.
3. The far-reaching impact of the investigation
The regulator's investigation of Ant Group has undoubtedly cast a shadow over its upcoming listing. Ant Group's original high-profile "technology + finance" development model has also been questioned to a certain extent.
1. Impact on Ant Group
The impact of this investigation on Ant Group is undoubtedly huge. The involvement and investigation of the regulatory authorities will have a certain impact on Ant Group's business model and capital operation, and may also pose new challenges to its future development path and strategic planning.

At the same time, this incident will also have a certain impact on Jack Ma's personal reputation and image. As the founder of Ant Group, Jack Ma has always been a "business legend" in the eyes of the public, and his personal image, words and deeds have also been highly recognized.
However, this investigation has undoubtedly cast a shadow on Ma Yun's image. His personal words and deeds and social responsibility are also being paid attention to by more and more people, which has a certain impact on his personal reputation and image.
3. Impact on the industry as a whole
In addition to the impact on Ant Group and Jack Ma personally, this incident will also have a certain impact on the entire Internet and fintech industry.
