He doesn’t understand computers, but his feet dominate almost all computers. He doesn’t understand management, but he is recognized as a business wizard around the world. He doesn't understand advertising, but he and his company have a penetrating click rate. From a down-and-out young man to today's global e-commerce giant, all the magic came from his original dream. He wanted to build the world's greatest company from the computer he was least familiar with. Some people said he was a madman, and even more so. Some say he is a liar because his dreams are unbelievable. So, starting with only 20,000 yuan, he used his actions to write a famous entrepreneurial saying in the coldest winter of the Internet. One of his dreams changed the business methods of tens of millions of businessmen around the world, and at the same time, changed the lives of billions of people around the world. , he is Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba.
CCTV host Rui Chenggang: I invite Jack Ma, CEO and Executive Chairman of Alibaba, okay, Lao Ma, welcome, welcome, see you here again, Lao Ma.
Jack Ma: Thank you!
CCTV host Rui Chenggang: When you came over just now, did you feel like a star?
Jack Ma: I feel quite nervous. As an entrepreneur, you must first give yourself a dream. In 1995, I had a chance to go to the United States, and then I saw (discovered) the Internet, so after returning I invited 24 friends to my house, and we all sat together. I said, I am going to resign from the university and build an Internet. Two hours later, everyone voted. 23 people opposed it and one person supported it. Everyone thought this thing It’s unreliable. Don’t do that. You don’t understand computers, and there is no such network. But after thinking about it for a night, I decided the next morning that I should resign and realize a dream of my own. Why is this? I found that when I came back and thought about it today, I found that many young people think about thousands of ways at night and take the same path when they get up in the morning. Before going out at night, say, I will do this tomorrow, and I will still take my original route the next morning. If you don’t take action and don’t give yourself a chance to practice your dream, you will never have a chance. So I embarked on the road of entrepreneurship in a daze. I call myself a blind man riding on a blind tiger, so I have no idea what will happen in the future, but I firmly believe that the Internet will make a great contribution to human society. At that time, in 1995, not many people believed in the Internet, nor did they think that the Internet would make such a great contribution to mankind, so I used the name of Bill Gates. At that time, I felt that the Internet would change all aspects of human life. However, Jack Ma said The Internet will change every aspect of human life, no one believes me. So then I said that Bill Gates said that the Internet will change every aspect of human beings. As a result, many media published this matter, but this sentence is what I said. In 1995, Bill Gates was still opposed to the Internet
