Build a huge e-commerce empire
When Liu Bang won the world, the main reason was to make good use of talents. In fact, he is not a man who is good at war or strategy, but he can attract many capable people. I have to say that this is a rare ability.
Look again, Chairman Mao, who was a scholar in those days, did not actually use a gun or personally shoot even one enemy, but he was admired by thousands of people and became a great man, because there is no shortage of people who can fight for the nation and risk their lives, but there is no shortage of people who can closely unite with a nation, because only when a nation is closely United can it have hope and resist foreign enemies when it is not strong.
Therefore, it seems not so unimaginable that Ma Yun became the founder of Alibaba and created a huge e-commerce empire without understanding Internet technology. In the final analysis, it is the following qualities that determine his seemingly accidental success.
Stubborn persistence
Before achieving great success, Ma Yun's entrepreneurial innovation experience was actually very rich. He founded Haibo Translation Company. At first, in order to survive, Haibo translation agency once contracted many sideline businesses. At Ma Yun's insistence, Haibo translation agency did not disappear through bankruptcy. Finally, in the third year, Haibo translation agency, which continued to lose money, broke even and began to generate income in the fourth year. Today, Haibo Translation Agency is one of the largest professional translation agencies in Hangzhou. From this example, it is not difficult to see that Ma Yun is very persistent in one thing he has determined, and he has a power of not giving up until he reaches his goal.
In fact, this quality has been revealed a long time ago. He chose to retake the exam after failing to enter high school, and the second exam was successful. He didn't get into the undergraduate course. Even if his math scores were extremely unsatisfactory twice in a row, even if his family dissuaded him, he didn't give up the idea of taking the exam again. Facts have also proved that he is not an ignorant child, just because he can't accept the failure of the college entrance examination, he tries meaningless and wastes time and brings trouble to his family. It is not difficult to see from the remarkable progress that he is really working hard and firmly towards his goal. I don't think every decision he made after that was "an armchair strategist".
We should be innovative and have the courage to do our best to achieve our goals.
He initiated the first English corner by the West Lake, which made him famous in the translation field in Hangzhou. He founded Hangzhou Haibo Computer Service Co., Ltd., the first Internet business company in China, although there were only three employees, he and his wife. He founded China Yellow Pages, the first Internet business information publishing website in China. ...
From these examples, we can get a glimpse of Ma Yun's terrible innovation ability, which may not be compared with some scientists or some imaginative creators, but compared with ordinary people, it is still a myth. After all, it is always difficult for ordinary people to jump out of the ordinary mode of thinking.
For many people, it is a good quality to put their ideas into practice and dare to try, but have you ever thought that life is so hard that people can hardly see the dawn with all their efforts, so why can you succeed as long as you work hard? But in fact, even fewer people have tried.
Ma Yun, however, never dared to try. No matter what he decided to do, he tried his best to achieve it. To borrow a word, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. On the journey of Ma Yun's entrepreneurship, it can be said that he is always ready.
Have the ability to unite others
As the saying goes, it is difficult to sing with one hand, but it is difficult to support a tree. No matter how capable you are, it's hard to stir up trouble on your own.
And Ma Yun, no, not just Ma Yun, many people have this ability to some extent. For example, many entrepreneurs mentioned the help of friends and the importance of friends to themselves in interviews. Friends here are not necessarily people who go shopping and play games with you, but people who can lend you a helping hand when you are in trouble.
However, Ma Yun is different from them. It's not that Ma Yun has few friends, but that he can take many capable people under his command. This is a very difficult thing. Throughout the ages, people who can take capable people for their own use are people who have made great achievements.
But first of all, if you want to attract capable people, you must not be mediocre. Capable people have self-esteem and will not be willing to be inferior to incompetent people. From some people, it was confirmed. Cao Cao was an outstanding politician, strategist, writer, calligrapher and poet in ancient China. Look again, our great leader Chairman Mao is a strategist, calligrapher and poet. ...
It can be seen from Ma Yun's life experience that he is indeed a very capable person. During his college years, Ma Yun not only served as the president of the Student Union, but also served as the president of the Hangzhou Student Union for two times. After he joined the work, he was rated as an outstanding young teacher in Hangzhou. It can be said that gold glows wherever it goes. Even if he doesn't start a business, he will become a leader in another industry sooner or later. So even if he didn't know the internet-related technology at that time, he could find someone who was good at it after he found the opportunity.
Be sponsored to go to 400 yuan every year.
Equally important is Ma Yun's personal charm. After all, everyone is capable. Why did Ma Yun recruit others instead of others? After learning some other stories and thoughts of Ma Yun, I understand that Ma Yun is indeed a person with great personality charm. For example, his Weibo name has always been Ma Yun, and he has been a spokesperson for rural teachers for several years. For example, he won the title of "the first good in China" in 12, and donated 124 billion yuan. At the same time, he has been committed to the development of education. Ma Yun met David Morley in Australia by chance, and has been writing to him in English ever since. David's father is willing to understand and thinks that Ma Yun's English needs to be improved, so he offered to help Ma Yun correct the mistakes in the article. Later, he decided to support Ma Yun 400 yuan every year to help him finish his studies smoothly. Years later, he began to learn to help poor students like David's father. He also donated 654.38+0.4 billion yuan to Newcastle University in the name of his supporters, and named it Mammoli Scholarship after him and his supporters. From this, we can know that Ma Yun is a person who knows how to give back to society and benefactors.

Ma Yun's life is legendary, and there are many stories worth telling. Now, Ma Yun, who has retired, has been planning the listing of Ant Group, but the Shanghai Stock Exchange has decided to suspend the listing application of the Science and Technology Innovation Board of Ant Group. China People's Bank, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, China Securities Regulatory Commission and State Administration of Foreign Exchange have interviewed Ma Yun and others. Perhaps the fuse was Ma Yun's attack on the financial supervision system in his speech a few days ago, but the root of the problem must have existed long ago. Some people on the Internet say that he will lose his life, but I still want to believe that he can draw a perfect ending for his legendary life.
