199 1 year, 199 1 year, Ma Yun started his business for the first time, established translation agency, earned 700 yuan in the first month, and rented 2,400 yuan. In order to maintain business, he found a sack to purchase goods in Yiwu and Guangzhou, and sold flowers and gifts. Later, I estimated sales, and went to hospitals and barefoot doctors to sell medicines. In those days, the pressure for an open university teacher to do this can be imagined.

1995, China Yellow Pages was founded, which was extremely difficult. It scraped together 20 thousand yuan and sold almost all the furniture. It saved the necessary 10 million yuan and counted the flowers one by one. At that time, there were no Internet companies in China.

1990 In March, when Alibaba was founded in Hangzhou, it was even more difficult. There is no office space, the company is in his home, he and his business partners work day and night, and there is a sleeping bag on the ground. Anyone who is tired will go in and sleep for a while.

Now Ma Yun should be regarded as a successful person and a celebrity. What is the reason for his success? He said he would never give up. If there is still a glimmer of hope, hold on to this letter.

Ma Yun said: Today is cruel, tomorrow is even more cruel, and the day after tomorrow is beautiful, but most people will die tomorrow night and can't see the sun the day after tomorrow! Never giving up is the cornerstone of success.
