Who knows the information of Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba?
Today, there are 2.4 million merchants serving Alibaba. Even when Ma Yun is sleeping, Alibaba's daily income is 1 10,000 yuan. As the founder of the earliest btob website in China, Ma Yun's fame is far from being heard abroad. In 2004, he joined the joint exhibition of good projects, got to know the main lineup of sunshine lovers, and announced the multimedia interactive learning of English, although he didn't have any overseas study and work experience. On July 17, 2000, he even became the first entrepreneur in Chinese mainland to appear on the cover of Forbes, an international authoritative financial magazine. The cover story of Forbes magazine describes him like this: deep cheekbones, twisted hair, naughty grin, a 5-foot-tall urchin weighing 100 pounds. Ma Yun said that only after reading this issue of Forbes did he know "how ugly he is". And according to Ma Yun himself, he is still very stupid. He never got into the top three when he was studying. His dream was to go to Peking University, but in the end he only went to Hangzhou Normal College, a junior college, and took the exam for three years. Mathematics in the first year of college entrance examination 1, and in the second year 19. Ma Yun often said later that his entrepreneurial experience can at least prove: "If I Ma Yun can succeed in starting a business, then I believe that 80% of young people in China can succeed in starting a business." After graduating from college, Ma Yun worked as an English teacher for six and a half years. During this period, he established the first foreign language translation agency in Hangzhou, and worked as a translator in some foreign trade units in his spare time. I didn't make much money, but I have become famous. 1995, "The Best English in Hangzhou" Ma Yun was entrusted by the Zhejiang Provincial Communications Department to go to the United States to collect debts. As a result, the money didn't reach a penny, but he found a "treasure house"-in Seattle, Ma Yun, who knew nothing about computers, went online for the first time. As soon as he learned to surf the Internet, he thought of making an online advertisement for his translation company. In the morning 10, he posted the advertisement online. Before noon 12, he received six emails from the United States, Germany and Japan, saying that this was the first webpage they had seen about China. "There is a big business to do here!" Ma Yun realized at that time that the Internet was a gold mine. After the nightmare of debt collection, Ma Yun returned to Hangzhou despondently, leaving only 1 USD and a crazy idea. Ma Yun's idea of becoming an "Alibaba" is to collect information of enterprises in China and send it to the United States by express delivery. Designers will make a web page and publish it to the world, and the profit will come from the fees charged to enterprises. Ma Yun believes that "time waits for no one, who are you waiting for"! I found a "partner" who studied automation, plus my wife, three people and 20 thousand yuan to start a business, rented a room and started a business. This is Ma Yun's first Internet company-Haibo Network, and its product is called "China Yellow Pages". Among the early overseas students, many people know that the earliest commercial information website with the theme of China on the Internet is "China Yellow Pages". Therefore, foreign media called Ma Yun Mr. China Internet. Ma Yun has a good eloquence. For a long time to come, in the food stalls on the streets of Hangzhou, there will often be a group of people around a man named Ma Yun to listen to his "great" plan. At that time, many people didn't know what the Internet was. They called Ma Yun a liar. He went to CCTV for the first time in 1995, and a director told reporters that this person is not like a good person! In fact, in many cities without internet, Ma Yun is always called a "liar". But Ma Yun is still as indomitable as a madman. He reminds himself every day: "The Internet is a 3000-meter long-distance race, which will affect human life in the next 30 years. You must run as fast as a rabbit and as resistant as a tortoise. " Then go out and talk to people about the internet and convince customers. This business is difficult to carry out. 1996, Ma Yun's turnover is actually 7 million! That is, this year, the Internet gradually became popular. At this time, Ma Yun got the attention of MOFTEC. During the period of 1997, Ma Yun was invited to Beijing to join the ——edi Center, a project initiated by the United Nations of MOFTEC, and participated in the development of the official website and later the online China Commodity Exchange of MOFTEC. In this process, Ma Yun's btob idea gradually matured: using e-commerce to serve small and medium-sized enterprises. According to his research, the business volume between commercial organizations on the Internet is far greater than that between commercial organizations and consumers. Why give up large enterprises and choose small and medium-sized enterprises? Ma Yun made an analogy: "I have heard of lobster catching, but I have never heard of whaling." He even thought of the domain name of the website-the Internet is like an endless treasure, waiting for people to explore, just like the cave opened by Alibaba with a spell. 1999, Ma Yun returned to Hangzhou to establish the "Alibaba" website. Before leaving, he said to his partner, "I'm going back to Hangzhou to start my own company from scratch." Willing to go, only 500 yuan salary; Those who want to stay in Beijing can introduce Yahoo and Sina, with high income. "He said he wanted them to think about it for three days, but in less than five minutes, the partners unanimously decided," Let's go back to Hangzhou and go together! "Sesame, open the door! It will be published online in a few months. .. what happened to the valley? /a & gt; According to word of mouth, Alibaba's website is famous in the business circle. Then, Ma Yun continued to wave his hands like dry firewood and delivered speeches around the world: "btob mode will eventually change the business methods of tens of millions of businessmen around the world, thus changing the lives of billions of people around the world! "He has attracted a lot of customers, talents and venture capital. Cai Chongxin, a native of Taiwan Province Province, is the Asian representative of investab, a world-famous venture capital company. After he heard of "Alibaba", he immediately flew to Hangzhou to ask for investment negotiations. After some heart-to-heart, Cai said unexpectedly, "Ma Yun, I quit. I want to join Alibaba! " "Ma Yun was shocked:" Impossible, my monthly salary is only 500 yuan RMB! " But two months later, Cai Chongxin became the cfo of Alibaba. Later, Cai's wife told Ma Yun: "If I don't agree with him to join, he will never forgive me." This incident caused surprise and shock on Wall Street. Subsequently, many companies headed by Goldman Sachs on Wall Street did not hesitate to invest $5 million in Alibaba. On the second day after the funds of Goldman Sachs were put in place, Ma Yun flew to Beijing nonstop to "meet a mysterious person". Only when we met did we know that Sun Zhengyi, the "Emperor of Global Internet Investment" who successfully invested in Yahoo's website and the chairman of Japan Softbank Company, asked to meet! Only 6 minutes after the interview, Masayoshi Son said, "Ma Yun, I must invest in Alibaba! And with my own money. " June 5438 +2000 10, the two parties formally signed a contract, and Sun Zhengyi invested 20 million US dollars. For a time, Alibaba became famous. There is a song that started the fourth mode of the Internet: "Alibaba is a happy young man!" Ma Yun is also a happy young man. He told a China version of The Arabian Nights. Now "Alibaba" is recognized by the industry as the best btob website in the world. The click-through rate and members from home and abroad are exploding! An American who wants to buy a 1000 badminton racket can find more than a dozen China suppliers on Alibaba. Users in China, Tibet and Ghana, Africa can get together on the "Alibaba" website and make a deal that can only be imagined in the Internet age! In 2003, "Alibaba" expanded its business and entered the high-end field of global business. Today, there are 2.4 million merchants serving Alibaba. Even when Ma Yun is sleeping, Alibaba's daily income is 1 10,000 yuan. During the SARS period, Alibaba's business volume increased by 5-6 times. The miracle created by Alibaba has attracted the attention of the international internet community. Its development mode is juxtaposed with Yahoo portal mode, Amazon b2c mode and ebay c2c mode, which is called "the fourth mode of Internet". Alibaba's mantra to open the treasure house is "sesame, open the door!" What is Ma Yun's spell? Just look at Alibaba's team. The management of "Alibaba" can definitely be regarded as an ultra-luxury lineup. Sun Zhengyi and former WTO Director-General Sutherland are its consultants; /kloc-Network elites from 0/6 countries and regions gather here, and more and more outstanding talents from Harvard University, Stanford University and Yale University flock to Alibaba. What is particularly surprising is that after five years of entrepreneurship, "Alibaba" has never been offered to leave. The company's original 18 entrepreneurs are now quite a few. Other companies offer triple wages, and employees are not tempted. Ma Yun also sarcastically said: "Comrades, I think it is three times. If it is five times, it can still be considered. " For the mystery, Ma Yun simply said, "Working in' Alibaba' for three years is equivalent to studying for three years as a graduate student, taking away the head instead of the pocket." Ma Yun thinks he is a person who is good at starting a business, but not good at staying in the business world. "At most, when I am 40 years old, I will leave Alibaba and go to school to teach mba. If I succeed, I will go to Harvard; If I fail, I will go to Peking University. " Ma Yun has an ideal. When he is 60 years old, he will stand on the bridge with the old guys who are now "Alibaba" and hear the loudspeaker say that "Alibaba" will pay dividends again this year, and the stock will continue to move forward and go global ... At that time, it felt really successful. But all this can't change the reality that the ceo of the Internet doesn't understand computers. Face to face Ma Yun is currently the CEO of Alibaba. com. 1964, from Hangzhou. 1988- 1995, lecturer in English and international trade, Hangzhou Institute of Electronic Technology. 1995- 1997, founded "China Yellow Pages", which is the first Internet business information publishing station in China. 1997- 1999, and joined the China International Electronic Commerce Center of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. 1999, founded Alibaba website. In 2000, he became the first entrepreneur in Chinese mainland to appear on the cover of Forbes. In 2002, it was selected by the World Economic Forum as one of the "future leaders" in 200 1 year.
