Benjamin Xu on 
“Alibaba probably tilted the Internet balance 
between US and China. [It has had a] 
major impact on Silicon Valley and US 
VCs/PEs, raising awareness and 
competition… With all the capital, Chinese 
companies will increase buying in North 
America & Europe. With an English teacher 
being China’s business leader, the US 
public will have a better understanding of 
the Chinese business world.”
77 
Cecilia Yuan on 
“It shows more Chinese companies will 
be on the list of top 10 Internet 
company in the world… Chinese 
internet and mobile internet companies 
will step abroad, buying assets from US 
and other foreign countries. Chinese 
companies will become a major player 
to provide internet services for global 
customers.”
78 
Sean Liu on 
“Alibaba will continue to invest in US 
startups. But for now they need to 
get even stronger in China, or they 
could lose their core – they have 
Tencent, Baidu, and Amazon all 
gunning for them.”

  37. We’ve reached the end. The celebration part. Selling software, IT and related technology companies is very satisfying. You become close to your clients after such an intense process. Unfortunately, the closings are often very anti-climactic. Ending with a whimper with some government filing, a wire transfer, the parties scattered across the globe. That why once a year we take our clients who successfully sold to Langara in the gulf of Alaska – we’ve been doing this for 23 years. You can more about these trips, and comments from those company owners like you who have attended. So, I’ll close by simply inviting you to go fishing with us. Thank you for your time today.
