MORE SEX IS GOOD, ALIBABA BOSS TELLS WORKERS

Beijing One of China’s wealthiest men, Jack Ma, the founder of tech giant Alibaba, urged his employees to have more sex in pursuit of a better work-life balance.

Ma gave a light-hearted speech at an event at which dozens of Alibaba couples were married in a group ceremony, stressing that a balanced home life was important for long-term happiness and health, and dubbed his philosophy “669.”

“We want 669 in life. What is 669? Six times in six days; the emphasis is on nine,” he said.

Ma’s “669” was in reference to a popular term that describes the Chinese industry’s work culture of “996” — a rough schedule of 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week.

Ma prompted controversy recently after he endorsed the overwork culture, posting online in April that “to be able to work 996 is huge bliss,” arguing that milestones only come with great sacrifice.
