Chinese billionaire Jack Ma rallied his troops during a speech at Ant Group Co.'s 20th anniversary, making a rare appearance after a government crackdown forced the fintech giant to scrap what would have been the world's largest initial public offering four years ago.
The co-founder of Ant and affiliate Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. showed up on Sunday to talk about the next 20 years of the fintech company and the opportunities brought on by artificial intelligence, according to a speech transcript seen by Bloomberg. Ant didn't respond to an emailed request for comment.
