Ma: 10 Years Later, 7 Of The Business Will Be Launched In The Form Of E-Commerce.

During the 10 years, sitting on the West Lake, Jack Ma But there's always a surge of emotion. From a teacher, spanlator to the largest market in the world Electronic Commerce The leader of the company is the idol of countless young entrepreneurs.

But 10 years later, he sat on the opposite side of the reporter and broke the illusion of "Idol" with all his strength. "I don't know what entrepreneurship godfather is, and I never thought of being a godfather of entrepreneurship," Alibaba chairman and CEO Ma Yun said loudly.

What is the success of an enterprise depends on its vision, technological and managerial innovation. Ma Yun attributed his success to this era. "My colleagues, this era, the rapid development of China's Internet, has given me the chance of success, not everyone meets these things, depends on chance or even luck."

Ma Yun said, a person has his age, has his environment, only in such an era, only such success, entrepreneurs can not take the road of others.

"Like everyone else, I started with Bill Gate and Li Jiacheng. Later, they found that they were not examples, they could not learn, they were too big and too strong. The real example must be around you. You are a small restaurant. The example is the small restaurant opposite the corner. Why does he line up at the gate and our waiter is more than the customers? He is your example.

Ma Yun believes that "the generation that loses the example" must be stronger than his own generation: "my grandfather thinks my father is inferior to him, and your father thinks I am not as good as him, but the fact is that he is stronger than one generation." When I was 20 years old, I could not raise the questions raised by today's post-90s. They are stronger and can do more business. Society is making progress.

"The last generation will tell the next generation that we are much more difficult than your generation. The result is that each generation surpasses the previous generation. He answered inadvertently, as if he had opened the heart of 10 years of frustrations.

Ordinary people do not matter.

Twenty-first Century: if you have nothing now and are still a student, do you have the confidence to say that you will succeed and become the godfather of future entrepreneurship?

Ma Yun: I don't know what entrepreneurship godfather is. I've never wanted to be a founder Godfather.

Now I am much better in all aspects than I was ten years ago. If I go back to ten years ago, I will never be able to walk in accordance with today's ability. Many days, time and place have passed. Ten years ago, I was worse than the newly graduated college student. I have done several tests in college, and I have done more than I can do.

Over the past ten years, most of the mistakes I have made have been committed by me. I do not know why I can walk out, which is the truth. It is not how competent I am, no team, no era, no Internet, no reform and opening up in China, there is nothing.

My father told me that I must have caught in 20 years ago, and 20 years later, I would sit here and talk to another Ma Yun. The times gave me the chance.

Twenty-first Century: do you think you are a legend?

Ma Yun: I like listening to the legend, but I am not a legend. I am an ordinary person.

I fear that others regard me as sage and Godfather. Dizzy. I am no different from you. Taobao and Alibaba have given me aura, not Taobao, Alibaba, Alipay halo. More than twenty thousand employees helped me, but I didn't help them. I am the same as everyone. I went through a good time.

Twenty-first Century: Alibaba's eighteen Rohan is also a mortal? How do these ordinary people achieve extraordinary things?

Ma Yun: actually, I choose employees and employees to choose me. What kind of employees do I choose? I choose ordinary people. What is an ordinary person? He is not an elite. I don't like those elites, the elite eyes are all there (pointing to the top of the head). No one in this world can accomplish anything. Teamwork and cooperation are needed.

Ordinary people have ordinary dreams. They do not fight for socialism for life, change all mankind, but buy houses, buy cars, marry wives, and have children. This is the most basic dream of human beings. These dreams are real, for their own work, I think such staff I like, real.

　　 Alibaba Entrepreneurship Eighteen people are ordinary people, ordinary people together to do an extraordinary thing. What is a great thing? The great thing is to do the same thing countless times, repetitions, monotonous and boring. It will become great. We influence each other and inspire each other, and everything will become extraordinary if we go all the way. {page_break}

The pain and joy of entrepreneurship

Twenty-first Century: there is no lack of enthusiasm in the society, but less than 10% of the success rate of business is worrying. What should we do?

Ma Yun: entrepreneurship is really hard. On the one hand, I encourage everyone to start their own business. On the other hand, I want to tell you a very practical question: 100 people start a business and 95 people die without even hearing. There are 4 people. You watched them die. The last 1 people left, you saw him succeed.

This person is very diligent, but not necessarily the most diligent. He is very hardworking and intelligent, but he is not necessarily the most hardworking and the most intelligent. There are many opportunities and many factors to make him succeed.

Entrepreneurs should always think that I am doing business for ten years after five years, not for today. I want you to be passionate and more patient. Have a rabbit like speed, but be patient like a turtle.

Twenty-first Century: many entrepreneurs can't balance their jobs and families. How do you do that?

Ma Yun: the real entrepreneur is not balanced. If you choose the path of starting a business, you can't balance it.

Entrepreneurs should be able to integrate life and work together and have fun in it. If anyone says today, I can divide my work and life very well. I believe this is a professional manager. I do not believe his company will do well.

When I was young, my greatest ambition was to have breakfast in London in the morning, to have lunch in Paris at noon, and to walk on the beach in Buenos Aires at night. Today, I think the cruelest thing in the world is like this. I fly every day, go to Japan in the morning, come back in the evening, come back to catch up with the meeting, but also happy. I have received support from my family and have adapted to it.

Twenty-first Century: when entrepreneurs face many temptations, how can they balance them between giving up and giving up?

Ma Yun: if you want to succeed, you must never give up and overcome all kinds of difficulties. But when you learn to give up, you begin to make progress. If this is a wall, if you bump into the wall, never give up or bump into it, learn to give up and take a look at it and move from side to side. What never gives up is a sense of mission and value.

Chinese style spancendence

Twenty-first Century: hot money flows to e-commerce. What kind of direction do you think e-commerce will play in the future?

Ma Yun: I hope that many students will go to see the e-commerce in China, which is far ahead of Europe and America. Believe it or not, 70% years of business will start in the form of electronic commerce in 10 years. This is the future of the times.

The development of electronic commerce in the United States is rather difficult, though there are some eBay and Amazon in the us today. The whole traditional business environment in the United States is very good, the banking system is very good, the retail system is very good, and the credit system is relatively good, which makes e-commerce only a small supplement to American business. China is different, because the whole business environment, the entire retail system, logistics system, information system, integrity system are relatively bad, so e-commerce is likely to become the main framework of the entire Chinese business system.

In China, e-commerce is just the beginning. It will reshape the whole business environment of China and become the core competitiveness of China in the future. This is the advantage of backwardness.

Twenty-first Century: ten years ago, when you talked about the future of e-commerce, no one could understand you. How did you convince your colleagues to persist?

Ma Yun: when I spoke with my colleagues, I wanted to wake up the resonance in their hearts. I may be wrong, but I believe what I am saying. Many people are right in giving speeches, but they do not believe in themselves. What is the difference between flickering and flickering? Flickering is that I do not believe others to believe; truth is I believe, and I believe you will believe it slowly.

What we see is vision. I work for the future. I will never work for today.

Twenty-first Century: what are the problems of China's business environment?

Ma Yun: Foxconn events, Gome events, 360 and Tencent events occurred this year. What do we all think about? What we think every day is to beat our competitors, and the whole society is very impetuous. Everyone wants to make their business stronger, bigger and stronger.

Our people have learned to complain, blame the government, blame the system, blame society, complain about no opportunity, and always complain, but they do not seem to have any problems.

I have been thinking about a problem, such as the ecology, the mentality is so, we have to constantly study their posture, everyone studies their own way of doing things. I believe that the mentality is bad, the posture is not good, the mentality and the posture are not good, the entire ecology will be worse and worse.

Maybe we should stop to do something, think about how to adjust our mindset, how to make our attitude better and how to keep the business ecosystem. The Internet, for example, is not who to destroy, but who to improve.
