1982, Shaanxi writer Lu Yao's novel "Life" in the "Harvest" published.
A small young man at the Hangzhou railway station in a corner, one breath to read the novel.
The 18-Year-old Ma, who had just upgraded from the tricycle to a temporary assistant to send and receive letters, was still a temporary worker.
Inspired by literary works, he took the second college entrance examination seriously and scored 19 points in mathematics.
Until 1983, Ma Yun is still reviewing.
According to worldly eyes, in those years, Ma Yun is the most failure of people: Gao Ban afraid to influence the rate of promotion, do not he, from childhood dream soldier, to apply for, height and weight is not enough; The police school, was rejected; with the small partners to interview KFC, more than 20 people admitted, only he was rejected.
Only English still give Jack Ma confidence.
The school English class is the language teacher teaches, the morning now learns two hours, in the afternoon will teach. Ma Yun felt that no, he took a group of students, in the morning at 5 in Hangzhou Shangri-La Hotel set up, to foreigners when free guide to learn English.
A group of foreigners "fought", 8 years time to teach a different Jack Ma-although not out of the country, he has become half a returnee.
Ah, young man, blood boiling!
1984, Ma Yun admitted to Hangzhou Teachers College. In English class when he opened his mouth shocked the class, the teacher had to interrupt him, so that other students to leave some time to speak.
That "who" of "style" let Ma Yun as the president of the student Union.
Mr Ma now likes to mention "destructive construction". But at that time the student union's construction, cannot destroy at all, all must start from the beginning. He has an idea, a volleyball game, and a debating game. The impossible to become possible, Ma Yun is from that time began.
The students at the nearby colleges and universities met Jack Ma, who borrowed something. Most of the time, went to 6 schools to borrow equipment. Fortunately, Ma Yun as a tricycle, cycling is his strength.
The sports teacher still remembers, at that time refused to borrow the ball suit, Ma Yun in the nap time to keep at the door, the teacher up and sleepy to the clothes borrowed.
A copy of the Hang Normal University newspaper in this description of him: "Bite one teeth, he rode the car fly faster, ah, young man, blood boiling!" ”
Founding Times
1992, Deng Xiaoping published a southern talk.
Ma Yun is more and more to do something, with the impulse of the Times.
From the inverted commodity to the founding of the Chinese Yellow Pages, he is a bicycle riding, energetic small micro-business owners, half of Hangzhou enterprises are he knocked the door to pull ads.
But most people make him a liar. Hua Li Group Chairman Wang Licheng, after Ma Yun in his office said a morning, nor "fooled."
"Let the world have no hard business", Alibaba founder this slogan, in fact, for several years has been the heart of Ma Yun's cry--how many years after this dream realized--for a while, Ma Yun went out to eat tea, often people quietly for his checkout, leaving a note: horse, thank you, I've made a lot of money doing business with you.
China Yellow Pages for a period of time by the Ministry of Commerce Fancy, a person a monthly salary of thousands of yuan, to the government to do E-commerce website. At that time everyone thought, this is finally up to the fore.
Ma Yun doesn't think so. He has had a very strong vision and plan for a time when the Internet and E-commerce have changed.
So, the founder of Alibaba.
At that time the most depressed is the lack of money. Everyone to the bargain market to buy a group of office furniture, for 5 yuan of freight, standing in the market for half an hour. Go out also reluctant to take a taxi, all by bus.
Because of lack of money, Alibaba to get venture capital, there is no registered company. 18 Partners to invest in the money, because there is no business entity, even a promissory note, no paper vouchers.
New Business Civilization
If you say that Jin Yong is using martial arts as a fairy tale, Ma Yun, is in a business concept of their own adult fairy tales.
Into the Taobao City park, people who do not know will think that the university campus was mistaken. At noon there are various departments of the community activities in the stalls, there are people playing, the canteen unattended, pay by self-awareness, the company's intranet speak freely, say anything can.
The founder of the company, as in the university as a teacher, as soon as he was excited to sit on the table, two legs swinging.
Ma Yun when let everybody to chip together set two financing principle, one not to borrow money, two don't ask each other amount. Today, Alibaba was founded 18 people, neither know how much money others out, also do not know the total number, so also can not calculate how many shares they should be fair.
Many people find it inconceivable, Ma Yun thought it is unimportant, we are not for the money to come together.
Ma Yun has been chasing after a few senior executives, eating non-stop to say how the courier is not easy, can build a system to let the courier relaxed, the results of the rookie logistics is born. Shen, Chairman of the Board of Yintai Group, had done a good job and resigned from the chief executive of the Yintai group and took over the rookie CEO.
Subvert the retail industry, subvert the logistics industry, the next is the banking industry. The company's executives can't stand it. Ma replied: "A company is not great, not to see how much money it earns, to see if it has to solve problems for society."
Ma Yun is using his business to do guinea pigs, his ideal is to defeat the dark side of human nature, he thought of a name called "New business Civilization."
From the mysterious 6 minutes of the great age of Ma Yun
Alibaba to get the first 5 million dollars after the venture, one time an analyst let Ma Yun to Beijing to meet a person, but the mysterious figure asked not to disclose identity.
Ma Yun pushed UT the Beijing headquarters of a conference room door, startled. Ying, Charles Zhang, and Zhidong were all here, and the suits were stiff.
Jack Ma spoke for three or four minutes and was interrupted.
The mystery man asked, "How much do you want?" ”
Ma Yun said: "I do not want money, I now have money." ”
"You must spend our money!" ”
This is the legend of Mr Ma face SoftBank chairman of the board of Directors son 6 minutes.
Son is the man of Ma Yun and the prediction of the future of the Internet.
Son also presented another prediction of Ma Yun: You will become Jerry Yang that kind of person.
The Internet is actually a tool to help us get to a better future faster.
Ma Yun saw this.
His job today is to think about tomorrow.
Alibaba is at its zenith when Ma Yuncheng is the first mainland entrepreneur to board Forbes magazine. He is going to do Taobao, everyone opposes, who will buy things from the internet? Ma Yun said, we will not, but we just wait 80, after the formation of the main consumer can be.
In 2013, 49-Year-old Ma Yun suddenly announced his retirement. Because thought of Alibaba how to do later. He wants to make sure that no Jack Ma, Alibaba is still a representative of young and future enterprises, forever embrace change.
As Liang Qichao in the "young China said": But think of the future, everything is its not, so often dare to be exceptional.
Perhaps the average employee is only 27 years old Alibaba destined to belong to the future. And Ma Yun, from the future of a big era.
Attached: Xinhua News agency interviewed Ma Yun
Banks do not change, we will change the bank-subversion of the retail industry, transforming the logistics industry, Ma Yun began to challenge the financial industry.
Face-to-face interview with Ma Yun, he is not willing to sit on the people. Sometimes he walked up and down the sleeves, sometimes he sat on the table, and sometimes he just lay down on the couch.
Reporter Zhang Yi: you admitted to the Hangzhou Teachers College does not seem to be a prestigious school, how do you see the relationship between success and diploma?
MA: I've always said that if I succeed, 80% of the world's people will succeed. When starting a business, those who invest in Money is also a number of diplomas, if the team has a few Harvard, a few Stanford, is basically High-tech, followed by Tsinghua University, we such a soil eight, is not to melt the money. So we had a slogan inside, and we had to fight for the three or four-stream college. As for the diploma, I have two words: if you graduate from a prestigious school, you look at others with appreciation; If you graduate from a college like ours, look at yourself with appreciation.
Journalist: You have a feature that everyone complains about when you look for opportunities from complaining and benefit from it. For example, everyone said that China does not have a credit system online shopping is not up, you have a set of evaluation system.
MA: What's the use of complaining? Complaining is like drinking water in the sea, drinking more and more thirsty. For example, is reform a falling sky? Reform to rely on a little bit of perfection, you are a member of society, should be a force for reform, I think as a citizen of any age, you live in this era, you should do something for this era.
Reporter: 35 billion yuan is equivalent to the largest online shopping week in the United States turnover, how do you think this astronomical?
MA: Do not pursue a number, do not put the number when the goal. Alibaba is like this, a government, a country is the same, GDP does not explain the problem. It's important to study how these 35 billion dollars came from. How many represent advanced productivity and how many represent the components of economic transformation?
Reporter: Do you insist on the partner system, is the traditional sense of the stock system and the spirit of the contract subversion?
Ma Yun: Not Subversion, is perfect. In the era of industrial revolution, capital can buy machines, buy factories, according to capital distribution is reasonable. Into the new economic era, capital can no longer be the eldest, knowledge is the eldest. The partner system is to let a group of people with brains to control the enterprise, so that enterprises remain creative. We have cooperated with Yahoo 8 years, changed 9 CEO, what matter also can't talk about, this thing is too exciting me, Yahoo eats is this loss.
Reporter: Others do business is to make money seriously, you seem very restless, to solve social problems?
MA: In the past, a business to seize a chance on the developed, and then seize a chance on the great, now is not, not for the social problem-solving enterprises are not great. In this sense, Apple is not a great company.
Reporter: You say to build new business civilization, the result pays treasure redemption event, people all scold you to say a set, if the enterprise also want to make money, raise a high profile to this new business civilization is not oneself to move a stone to hit own foot?
MA: Alipay Recent equity distribution results came out, obviously I did not put Alipay into his pocket, then scold our experts, now a word is not said. Said I stole and robbed I was really quick to die; Taobao small sellers of trouble that time, many sites followed by fake photos, I really want to turn off Taobao.
But I insist, China needs new business civilization, we want to change the word without business, to let the integrity of those who first rich, to let the rules of the people take advantage, this is my dream, no matter what others say, I just want to make this thing.
