Hangzhou native Jack Ma Although he has a small body, he has fought many times since he was a child. He won and lost. At the worst, he was beaten to the bones, and had 13 stitches, and was punished...
But Jack Ma was not afraid at all: "If you win, you have to fight, you have to fight, and if you don't win, you have to fight!"
Fighting is also a science, and you must be famous for your masters. Fighting without reason is called being full and full; fighting that represents mainstream values is called being chivalrous and righteous. Jack Ma belongs to the latter.
Because he said, "I often fight, but I don't like to fight."
Jack Ma rarely fights for himself, most of which is to protect his friends from bullying. From this perspective, Jack Ma’s size problem is no longer a weakness, but has become a core highlight that can hit people’s eyes.
Just like Ultraman is popular because Ultraman always gets beaten up before becoming a hero.
Jack Ma’s family’s family style is very tough, just like his father’s Malay Fa ’s punching skills, once his son gets angry, it will be a tough family style rectification activity.
Over time, Jack Ma found a countermeasure. Whenever his father scolded him, he would speak in English. His father couldn't understand and he was relieved and was very excited.
So, Jack Ma's English has been very good since he was a child.
In order to further improve his English level, 13-year-old Jack Ma worked as a free tour guide in Hangzhou, specializing in dealing with foreigners. Having contacted foreigners more, Jack Ma has an extra way of looking at the world from a Western perspective.
In 1982, 18-year-old Jack Ma took the college entrance examination, got 1 point in math , and failed the ...
In the despair of the college entrance examination failure and math scores, Jack Ma and his cousin entered society and applied for a hotel waiter. His cousin was successfully admitted, but Jack Ma was rejected. The reason given by the boss is very simple:
"What we need in the hotel is a good-looking waiter, but you are thin and short, and you look, I won't say anything..."
After that, Jack Ma went to the army and was not tall enough; he wanted to take the police academy, but he was rejected ... He could only find an errand for hiking a tricycle to deliver books through his father's relationship .
1983, Jack Ma took the college entrance examination for the second time. This time he made progress in mathematics. He scored 19 points and failed again...
His math teacher was desperate: "Jack Ma, your mathematics is hopeless. If you can pass 60 points, I will write my words backwards!"
After living for 19 years, Jack Ma seemed to have won the worst life script, but this script is very similar to the preface of every invasive character who began to change fate.
2.
1984, 20-year-old Jack Ma "three visits" in the exam room and actually scored 89 points in mathematics, but he was still 5 points away from the undergraduate line. Fortunately, at that time, the Hangzhou Normal University English major admission indicator was not full, and Jack Ma was admitted exception.
As soon as he entered Hangzhou Normal University, Jack Ma's English proficiency made him show off in English classes. His "who else but me" style and his social eloquence made him successfully become the chairman of the student union .
Jack Ma is keen on making things happen, almost every day, to have an idea, to organize volleyball games, organize debates, etc. He ran to another school to borrow something when he was missing, and then skillfully rode a tricycle and pulled it back.
At that time, the school newspaper in the school described him as follows: "After gritting his teeth, the bike he rode was flying faster. Ah, young man, his blood was boiling!"
After graduation, Jack Ma worked as an English teacher for several years and founded Haibo Translation Club in 1992. He worked for a month and lost 1,700 yuan. In order to reduce losses, Jack Ma rented out half of the translation agency's store, and carried his sacks to voluntarily wholesale small goods, and started retailing.
people are all mixed up, and Jack Ma has not forgotten the heroic righteousness of the fight back then.
1995, 31-year-old Jack Ma rode his bicycle to work and saw five or six big men stealing manhole covers on the way. At this time, he remembered the report a few days ago that a child wanted to stop the thieves because he fell into an uncovered manhole.
But my own small body is not enough to warm up those five or six big men, what should I do? He rode his bike for four or five hundred meters, trying to find someone to help, but no one was willing to take action, and the police were not found.
Later, Jack Ma couldn't help it anymore. He rode on the bike and stepped on the ground, pedaling with one foot, ready to run away at any time, then pointed at the big men and shouted, "Please carry it back!"
As soon as the words fell, several people rushed up and surrounded Jack Ma. It wasn't those thieves, but cameras and journalists. It turned out that this was a test of stealing manhole covers by a TV station in Hangzhou. I want to see the reactions of passers-by!
Jack Ma was the only passerby that day.
It was also this year. When Jack Ma went abroad, he saw the magic of the Internet with his own eyes. He typed the word "beer" on search engines, and the German and American beer brands appeared.
This matter is about ordinary people, and they may only exclaim: I'll go, it's awesome! But Jack Ma is obviously not an ordinary person. What he wants is to use the Internet to introduce Chinese products to the world, which is a business opportunity.
After returning to China, Jack Ma sold Translation Club furniture, borrowed money everywhere, and pulled 's wife Zhang Ying to establish Hangzhou Haibo Computer Service Co., Ltd. In the same year, China Yellow Pages was launched.
At that time, the Internet was still a new thing. Jack Ma went out to sell yellow pages. Unheard of things and his appearance, many people regarded him as a liar like listening to ghost stories.
It was also this year. Jack Ma came to Beijing and continued to promote the Internet, but his situation was similar to that in Hangzhou. Because his ideas were too advanced, people at that time could not understand it and the social environment was not mature enough.
Jack Ma, who hit the wall one after another, looked at the flashing lights in Beijing at night and said: "In a few years, Beijing will not treat me like this; in a few years, you all have to know what I do, and I will not be so down and out in Beijing."
Beijing failed to start a business, and Jack Ma decided to return to his hometown Hangzhou.
,
Jack Ma and several subordinates who went to Beijing to start a business with him said:
"I want to go home You can stay in the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Affairs, or join Yahoo and Sina . As long as I recommend you, you will definitely be admitted. You can also choose to go back with me, but I can only give you 500 yuan, rent a house by myself, and work at my house."
He gave them 3 days to consider, but after 3 minutes, they came back and all had to go back to start a business with Jack Ma.
Before leaving, Jack Ma took them to the Great Wall, but everyone was not interested in enjoying the scenery and was very depressed. At dinner that day, Xie Shihuang and got drunk. When I remembered that the entrepreneurship in the past three years was ruined, I squatted on the road and cried loudly.
An old lady happened to pass by and comforted him kindly: "Young man, don't worry, good girls are there." She thought this young man was hurt.
999, at the lakeside of Hangzhou, Jack Ma gathered at the home of Jack Ma. Jack Ma, 35, decided to start a business again. He gave an internal speech and mobilized everyone to raise money, saying: "Now, each of you leaves some money for dinner and takes out all the remaining money."
He set two rules for making money: no borrowing money is allowed. Do not ask each other for the amount of money.
This year, Alibaba was launched, and the slogan "Let there be no difficult business in the world."
According to Yahoo founder Yang Zhiyuan, Cai Chongxin contacted Jack Ma to invest. After four days of negotiation, Cai Chongxin actually gave up his annual salary of US$700,000 and chose to join Jack Ma's team to serve as Alibaba's chief operating officer with a monthly salary of 500 yuan.
In order to attract investment, Jack Ma walked from west to east in the United States, and met more than 40 venture capitalists in 7 days, all of whom believed that this was a "stupid" business plan.
It was not until October of that year that Jack Ma attracted US$5 million from four companies including Goldman Sachs. The next year, Jack Ma was taken to a conference room and was shocked when he pushed open the door. In the conference room of Wu Ying, Zhang Chaoyang and Wang Zhidong and
in Wu Ying, Zhang Chaoyang and Wang Zhidong , wearing straight suits, all inside.
Jack Ma said Alibaba for three or four minutes and was interrupted by a mysterious character: "How much do you want?"
Jack Ma said: "I don't want money, I have money now."
"You must spend our money!"
This is the legendary Jack Ma and the mysterious character Masayoshi Son and got $20 million in investment.
Sun Masayoshi bet on Jack Ma and his predictions about the future of the Internet. He also gave Jack Ma another prophecy: you will become a person like Jerry Yang .
Later, after four years of development, Alibaba achieved a profit of more than 100 million yuan...
In 2003, due to the "SARS", Alibaba employees worked from home, and one of the "18 Arhats", Sun Tongyu and others spent $200 to create a small website. This is Taobao Website , which will grow into a commercial beast in the future.
But in the first few years, Taobao was beaten by eBay eBay to no avail.
In 2005, Yahoo acquired about 40% of the equity of Alibaba Group for US$1 billion in cash and all Yahoo China's assets, becoming the largest shareholder.
Both parties agreed that starting from October 2010, Yahoo's voting rights will increase from 35% to 39%, and have the right to appoint a second board member, while Alibaba's management team's voting rights will be reduced from 35.7% to 31.7%.
Two years later, Jack Ma held an executive meeting in Beijing. He said: "In three years, we will be a company with a market value of US$100 billion and become the top three Internet companies in the world."
An executive who attended the meeting said: "I was stunned at that time and didn't know how to achieve a market value of US$100 billion in three years."
In 2007, Alibaba was listed in Hong Kong with a market value of nearly HK$200 billion, and at the exchange rate at that time, it became the world's largest e-commerce company.
Not long after that, Jack Ma's wave of actions became a "nightmare" in the hearts of countless men.
.
In 2009, 35-year-old Jack Ma discovered that the "3.15" consumer rights day was well done, but there were too many incidents of prodigal business, which made consumers no longer want to consume. This makes it very uncomfortable for consumers and other high-quality merchants.
After thinking about it, Jack Ma decided to hold a shopping festival, which was later "Double 11".
From this year to today, "Double 11" has become an indelible "nightmare" in the hearts of countless men, and has become the " Carnival " for hundreds of millions of women. is really heartbeat and money is burning, and she smiles slightly not far away.
"Moonlight clan" and "shopping party" are not a big deal. Some female compatriots are fighting for "Double 11" and even forget about the lifelong event of registering marriage with their boyfriend the next day.
However, just two years later, Alibaba suddenly revealed that 2326 " Chinese supplier " were suspected of fraud, and hundreds of Alibaba's sales personnel were involved...
The then CEO of the company 1 Wei Zhe and COO Li Xuhui resigned, and was regarded by the outside world as Jack Ma "killing Ma Su with tears."
This year, Taobao Mall announced new regulations to increase technical service fees for some products and add a deposit ranging from 10,000 to 150,000 to merchants.
This move was directly resisted by more than 7,000 small sellers. They gathered together to fight back on Taobao Mall in an organized and step-by-step manner, and removed many well-known stores.
Some people believe that Taobao Mall takes advantage of its dominant market position and adopts a model of similarly charging "tolls" to clean up small and medium-sized sellers. The method is simple and the practice is rough, and even suspected of violating the " Anti-Monopoly Law ", which is inevitable.
Some people also believe that Taobao Mall (later renamed Tmall ) can help market regulation, and sellers' protests have touched the edge of the law.
Just as small merchants and platforms were fighting each other, Jack Ma quickly returned to China to deal with it. Taobao then updated the "2012 Consumer Protection and Merchant Support Policy" and made concessions and apologies, and the matter came to an end.
Although Jack Ma chose to compromise, he wrote four or five words "tolerance" in his hand.
In fact, many people have a very contradictory impression of businessman Jack Ma.
,
Once, a reporter took a taxi to interview Jack Ma. After hearing this, the driver stepped on the accelerator and said, "Can you send me a message?" He said seriously, "I want to kill him."
He and his wife were originally doing small business in the wholesale market. Because of Taobao and Tmall, the market went bankrupt, and he had to make another living. But he was also worried that his son would probably not agree to "kill" Jack Ma: "He bought online all day and bought a lot of things."
The progress of the era, the birth of new things, the rise and fall, like reincarnation. This is an unsolvable and sarcastic narrative.
In 2012, after the "Double 11", the total transaction volume of Taobao and Tmall exceeded 100 billion yuan, second only to the retail sales of consumer goods in Guangdong, Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The brilliant record of
made Jack Ma happy to mention nicknames such as "Governor Ma", "Ten Yihou" and .
Jack Ma, who became the oligopoly of e-commerce , started to think of express delivery again and took a down-to-earth name: " rookie ". After the establishment of " Cainiao Network Technology Co., Ltd. ", it became the "golden phoenix" that provinces across the country competed for.
In 2013, cainiao Network settled in Henan. Interestingly, during the talks with provincial leaders, Jack Ma mentioned a person's name: Wang Xi'an .
Jack Ma likes Tai Chi very much. In 2009, he ordered his assistant Chen Wei to help him find the best Tai Chi teacher in the country.
Chen Wei "administered" to find Tai Chi "grandmaster". During this period, he also met "masters" like Ma Baoguo , and the best way to talk to him...
Until one day, Chen Wei came to Henan Province's birthplace of Tai Chi, Chenjiagou , and met Wang Xi'an. Wang Xi'an was invited to Jack Ma's vacation villa, taught Jack Ma three times, and became Jack Ma's master.
The most painful thing in the process of teaching Jack Ma was not how to teach, but how to answer. Sometimes Jack Ma would ask: "Teacher Wang, who is better at martial arts skills, you or your son?"
This question is too difficult and too unexpected, a bit like "using the spear of the son, attacking the shield of the son". At this time, Wang Xi'an answered an ill-hearted question: "When I was young, the teacher didn't teach some things, and I put in a lot of effort. Sometimes I practiced until I vomited blood."
The bodyguard who often follows Jack Ma, is Wang Xi'an's apprentice, and it is said that he is very good at fighting.
And Jack Ma's obsession with Tai Chi is quite deep...
,
Jack Ma once brought his friends Jet Li , Wang Zhongjun and Shen Guojun and other friends to Chenjiagou for a long journey to Chenjiagou for a pilgrimage. He once designated Tai Chi as the company's internal training project, and asked Chen's Tai Chi masters to train them and pay them a salary.
, even, it is said that new employees will be required to practice Tai Chi when they join the job, and they will decide whether to stay or not according to the boxing style.
This may also be one of the reasons why Jack Ma settled the Cainiao Internet in Henan. After all, I love the house and the mist.
Once Jack Ma was on a show, and a netizen asked: "I don't want values, I just need to make money, what should I do?"
Jack Ma said a famous saying: "I have never touched money, I am not interested in money."
Host Sa Beining listened to the rich expressions and summarized them in place: "You see, rich people speak the same way."
In 2017, Jack Ma crossed the border and starred in the micro-film " Gong Shu Dao ". In the play, he "beated" a group of kung fu stars such as Jet Li, Donnie Yen , Wu Jing and other kung fu stars... Once again proved the power of wealth.
In 2019, 55-year-old Jack Ma delivered a retirement speech: "It is rumored online that I stepped down as (Chairman of the Board) is afraid of something. Alibaba has never been afraid of anything. We believe in the future. In the past 20 years, Ali has made no fewer mistakes than any company, but Alibaba has also made many correct choices."
When the camera is pointed at Jack Ma again, someone shouted in a low voice: "Jack Ma cried." Soon, "Jack Ma's tears" became a hot search.
In 2020, Jack Ma and others were jointly invited by four departments to "drink tea". A year later, Alibaba was fined 18.228 billion yuan for "choose one of two" monopoly.
Jack Ma once said in "The Great Master": "No matter how good the martial arts are, he is afraid of the kitchen knife."
Fighting back then was "championship and righteousness." When I started a business, the slogan also had a bit of righteousness. But after the tall building rose, I climbed to the top and looked into the distance, and was swept by various forces. The direction and original intention of setting off had changed.
