The China Hustle Page #10

---

Yeah, the eBay and Amazon

and PayPal is pretty easy,

but it's a Netflix; it's a Groupon...

I mean, it's a perfect storm.

It's the first time

a major Chinese Internet company

has gone public

in the United States.

Uh, there's an old joke that

the biggest lie on Wall Street,

is that this time, it's different.

Alibaba's profit for the second quarter,

jumped some 179 percent

to $2 billion.

It's a perfect storm.

That's what this is.

You don't have the ability,

to really research it.

You're buying lottery tickets.

Alibaba is lottery tickets.

Charismatic founder, Jack Ma,

has the stage presence

to rival many tech icons.

Should we jump in

and buy Alibaba stock?

Yeah, it's China.

Is there something looming

down the pike

that's even crappier than this?

I, I could make that argument.

There's Jack Ma,

having met with the president.

Jack and I, are gonna do some

- great things.

- Small business.

- Thank you, Jack.

- Thank you, sir.

The CEO of Alibaba, Jack Ma, says,

"Just trust us, just trust."

In this country, when anyone says,

"Just trust us,"

the first thing you do is,

hold on to your wallet.

You don't trust anybody,

and you don't trust anything,

you can't see and research

for yourself.

And that goes for Alibaba too.

- So why do you keep at it?

- F*** 'em.

They're lying.

Hot masseuse,

hot masseuse, right there.

Here we go.

Joe, bring your drink down here.

Come on.

Wait, we got it.

I just want to raise a toast

to all of us, all right?

I want to raise a toast

to an awesome 2015,

to a great year, to being blessed,

to everything you want.

Here it comes, all right?

Let's raise 'em up.

Let's raise 'em up.

Raise your arms up.

Give us some house music.

Let's keep this party going.
