Alibaba Was Not Involved in DeepSeek's Fundraising Negotiation, Market Insiders Deny "Deal Collapse" Rumors
May 9 — Recent reports say DeepSeek is kicking off its first round of financing, with investment discussions underway with firms including Tencent and Alibaba. However, negotiations between Alibaba and DeepSeek have recently collapsed.
A market source told Yicai today that Alibaba shouldn’t have been part of those talks in the first place.

Over the past 24 hours ending May 9, former President Donald Trump has made extensive remarks on a range of topics, including the Middle East, tariffs, AI, Russia-Ukraine, and extraterrestrial life.
On the Middle East, Trump said the U.S. could restart an "upgraded" version of the "Freedom Plan" if the current situation "does not make progress." He also noted he expects Iran’s official response to a U.S. proposal. Upon returning to the White House, however, he declined to say whether he had received Iran’s reply.
In tech and markets, Trump called Dell computers "great" during a Rose Garden speech and urged the audience to buy them. Dell’s stock jumped nearly 14% at one point Friday, hitting an all-time high.

SK Hynix Responds to "Average Employee Bonus of 6.1 Million RMB": Unable to Predict at the Moment
A recent report, citing a forecast from international investment bank Macquarie Securities, notes that the average bonus for employees at South Korea’s SK Hynix could reach roughly 6.1 million yuan (≈129 million South Korean won) in 2027.
The bank projects SK Hynix’s operating profit will hit 44.7 trillion South Korean won that year. Using a simple calculation—10% of that operating profit as a bonus pool, divided by the company’s ~35,000 employees as of the end of last year—the total bonus pool would total ~4.47 trillion won, translating to an average of 129 million won per employee (equivalent to ~6.1 million yuan).
In response, SK Hynix clarified that since its 2024 and 2025 performance remains undetermined, the bonus scale cannot be predicted. The company added it has rolled out a new headquarters-level system: 10% of annual operating profit is earmarked for annual performance bonuses.
