From left, Doug Baker of Ecolab, Marilyn Carlson Nelson, and Richard Davis of U.S. Bancorp, talk about Minnesota's bid for the 2018 Super Bowl on Wednesday, May 7, 2014 in Minneapolis. Davis co-chairs the bid committee. He says local corporations pledged enough to cover 75 percent of the estimated $30 million to $40 million in costs just within the first seven days of the drive. The co-chairs gave few details about their proposal to NFL owners, saying they don't want to give anything away to Indianapolis and New Orleans, the other cities competing for the game. Organizers will make their presentation to team owners May 20, and will learn that day whether they got the bid. (AP Photo/The Star Tribune, Elizabeth Flores) MANDATORY CREDIT; ST.

FILE - In this March 20, 2012 file photo, Jack Ma, chairman of China's largest e-commerce firm Alibaba Group, gestures during a conference in Hong Kong. The mammoth IPO planned by e-commerce giant Alibaba Group highlights founder Jack Ma’s improbable rise to China’s entrepreneur-in-chief.

Alibaba, which started as a site to link Chinese manufacturers with buyers overseas, became under Ma an e-commerce behemoth that is now expanding into banking, navigation and online video.
