Ma Yun, the famous chairman of Alibaba, was really not a good student when he was studying. His grades are very poor, especially in math. 1982 Ma Yun took the college entrance examination for the first time. He filled in Peking University. But he only got 1 in math. After losing the college entrance examination for the first time, to be honest, Ma Yun was very depressed. He thought he was not suitable for the college entrance examination at all, so he began to do odd jobs everywhere to make a living. He trudges on the rugged road every day on a heavy tricycle full of goods. /kloc-Ma Yun, 0/8 years old, often looks at the front and is at a loss. Can he only be such a "camel Xiangzi" on three wheels all his life? He is unwilling, of course he is unwilling! On one occasion, Ma Yun sent books to a cultural unit on three wheels. In the waiting room of Jinhua Railway Station, he found a book-writer Lu Yao's novella Life. The story of Gao Jialin in life deeply infected him. From then on, he understood a truth: the road of life is not only long, but also tortuous. If you want to achieve something, you must go through some tempering. After much deliberation, he decided to take the college entrance examination again. He began to study hard. 1983, 19-year-old Ma Yun took the college entrance examination for the second time. This time, he is full of confidence. But God likes to play jokes on him. He failed miserably again, and got only 19 in mathematics. After the results came out, parents gave up hope for him, thinking that the child was doomed to fail the college entrance examination, and advised him to relax, learn some skills and make a living as a temporary worker. However, Ma Yun is still unwilling. He is unwilling to be a temporary worker all his life. He wants to go to college. He knows that only by going to college can he change his fate. As his parents no longer supported him to enter the university, he had to study while working. At that time, he often went to the library of Zhejiang University to study. In Zhejiang University, he met five failed students, who often got together to talk about their ambitions and ideals. They shouted at the sky unscrupulously: we will definitely enter the university, and we will definitely get ahead! We will definitely go to college and get ahead! We will definitely go to college and get ahead! 1984, 20-year-old Ma Yun took the college entrance examination for the third time. Ma Yun remembers that before the college entrance examination, a math teacher surnamed Yu said to him, Ma Yun, your math is really a mess. If you can pass the exam, my word "Yu" will be written backwards. Ma Yun's performance surprised the teacher. When he took the math exam, he tried to solve one problem after another by relying on the rote formula of 10. As a result, this set actually scored 79 points (at that time, the mathematics score was 120, and 72 points passed), which was definitely a great achievement in the history of Ma Yun's mathematics examination. Fortunately, Ma Yun was admitted to Hangzhou Normal University and became an undergraduate in the Department of Foreign Languages. Meng Yifan: Ma Yun is admired by countless grassroots entrepreneurs today. One big reason is that Ma Yun, like us, used to be an ordinary person, without a prominent family background, a tall and handsome image, excellent academic performance and a smart mind. He firmly believes that he will succeed. So he failed the college entrance examination? Repeated defeats and repeated wars. Years later, Ma Yun, who achieved great success, came to Haibo translation agency, which he founded, and wrote four big words: Never give up. These four words now stand impressively on the homepage of Haibo translation agency website. The spirit it conveys is that you may encounter many setbacks and failures in doing anything, but as long as you persist and never give up, you will surely succeed! Never giving up is Ma Yun's lifelong belief, and it should also be the same belief of all the students present on the road to the senior high school entrance examination. He never got into the top three when he was studying. His dream was to go to Peking University, but in the end he only went to Hangzhou Normal College, a junior college, and took the exam for three years. Mathematics in the first year of college entrance examination 1, and in the second year 19. Ma Yun often said later that his entrepreneurial experience can at least prove: "If I Ma Yun can succeed in starting a business, then I believe that 80% of young people in China can succeed in starting a business." After graduating from college, Ma Yun worked as an English teacher for six and a half years. During this period, he established the first foreign language translation agency in Hangzhou, and worked as a translator in some foreign trade units in his spare time. I didn't make much money, but I have become famous. 1995, "The Best English in Hangzhou" Ma Yun was entrusted by the Zhejiang Provincial Communications Department to go to the United States to collect debts. As a result, the money didn't reach a penny, but he found a "treasure house"-in Seattle, Ma Yun, who knew nothing about computers, went online for the first time. As soon as he learned to surf the Internet, he thought of making an online advertisement for his translation company. In the morning 10, he posted the advertisement online. Before noon 12, he received six emails from the United States, Germany and Japan, saying that this was the first webpage they had seen about China. "There is a big business to do here!" Ma Yun realized at that time that the Internet was a gold mine. After the nightmare of debt collection, Ma Yun returned to Hangzhou despondently, leaving only 1 USD and a crazy idea. Ma Yun's idea of becoming an "Alibaba" is to collect information of enterprises in China and send it to the United States by express delivery. Designers will make a web page and publish it to the world, and the profit will come from the fees charged to enterprises. Ma Yun believes that "time waits for no one, who are you waiting for"! I found a "partner" who studied automation, plus my wife, three people and 20 thousand yuan to start a business, rented a room and started a business. This is Ma Yun's first Internet company-Haibo Network, and its product is called "China Yellow Pages". Among the early overseas students, many people know that the earliest commercial information website with the theme of China on the Internet is "China Yellow Pages". Therefore, foreign media called Ma Yun Mr. International of China. Please accept the answer and support me.
