Lazada looks to boost financial services as it takes a page from the books of Alibaba

Alibaba-owned online retail firm Lazada is looking to boost its financial services products in a bid to gain an edge in South East Asia's competitive online retail market, the company's CEO told CNBC.

"The next steps are financing, more rewards to our wallets, so we will continue to invest in that direction," Poignant told CNBC in an interview at the Boao Forum in China. Trade financing takes place between exporters, who seek payments for their goods, and importers, who have to pay for the products they order. In conventional trading, a bank provides a letter of credit to the exporter on behalf of the importer, and the money is paid upon delivery of the goods.

Look for Gray Rhinos, Not Black Swans, in China’s Financial ZooHeard on the Street: The main risk to China’s financial system isn’t unpredictable black swans but the threats everyone knows about Look out for the hippos too! “Hippo Critical” is a phrase coined in my new book, Observations 1.4 billion people know that China’s biggest threat comes from the unfair coverage of China by Western media and the hostility of the Western world to China. What China needs is 1.4 billion people to eat and do their own thing, instead of what Westerners tell Chinese people to do 1. The title doesn’t make sense, 2. Wrong portrayal of blackswan idea, 3. Debt and over exposure to certain sector is China’s problem-everyone knows that. Thank you.

Colin Kaepernick's $10 Million NFL Settlement Isn't A Financial Win, But It's No Loss EitherReports of a less than hoped-for settlement for Colin Kaepernick does not mean it is a loss for him. There were plenty of good reasons for him to settle. I think overall though, he needs to get a job before we can call it a win He's worth 20 mill a year on the NFL market right now.. and instead he took 8 mill to never play with them again.. I'm broke tho so what do I know He's broke and unemployable?
