A high-stakes game: Alibaba will build a house for employees, and will hire 300 workers to counter fakes
Founder of the largest Chinese Internet holding Alibaba Group Jack Ma announced the construction of a 380-apartment apartment building in Hangzhou. In the same city, the head office of the company has already been built. Apartments from the new house will receive employees. Each of them is 40-60% cheaper than the market price.
It is expected that the cost of one square meter in the new house will not exceed 10 thousand yuan ($ 1.5 thousand), while the average market price of proposals in this quarter ranges from 17 thousand to 20 thousand yuan ($ 3 thousand).
Construction is carried out on a plot of land purchased at auction in 2009.

An employee must work for at least three years at Alibaba to qualify for the purchase of preferential housing. But because of the large number of applications, the management of the company decided to hold a vote in order to approve the final list of candidates. Voting results will be announced on April 5, RNS reports .
“There is no limit to investing in the fight against counterfeit goods. We plan to hire 300 people to deal with fakes, and we will hire more if this is not enough, ” Ma said at a meeting with workers at Alibaba headquarters in Hangzhou.

Currently, the company has more than 2,000 employees in full-time employment.However, today it became known that Alibaba plans to hire 300 new employees. Understandably, they will not be able to qualify for preferential apartments, but will get a chance to make an invaluable contribution to the development of the company's business.
“There is no limit to investing in the fight against counterfeit goods. We plan to hire 300 people to deal with fakes, and we will hire more if this is not enough, ” Ma said at a meeting with workers at Alibaba headquarters in Hangzhou.
China’s trading platforms are often blamed for being overwhelmed with counterfeit goods. Thus, luxury brands, such as Gucci, Balenciaga and Yves Saint Laurent, stated that Alibaba "deliberately promotes, is an accomplice and benefits from the sale of fakes."Last year, the company reported that in two years it had spent 1 billion yuan ($ 154 million) to solve the problem of counterfeit products.
