My great pleasure to introduce you to Lei (Raymond) Ma, General Manager of Alibaba Cloud, at the Future of Retail event with thanks to the Australia China Business Council and BDO in Australia.

Mr Ma and I discuss the 2018 '11:11' - the 10th year of this global shopping festival, selling over RMB213.5 billion (USD$30.8 billion) in 24 hours.

We go into technology innovations in New Retail, payment systems, the reality of the barrier between small and big merchants and why Alibaba are in Australia.

Then we delve into Elastic Compute, what it means for companies in a sales & operational sense, and the necessity of this for expansion into Asia.
