At the age of 18, Ma Yun failed the college entrance examination for the first time and dropped out of school to make a living. He worked as a secretary, a porter, and later delivered books to the society. By chance, Ma Yun came across Lu Yao's masterpiece "Life" while copying documents for the chairman of the Zhejiang Dancers Association. This book quickly changed Ma Yun's thinking. From the book, Ma Yun realized that "Although the road to life is long, The key points are often only a few steps." So he made up his mind to take the second college entrance examination. At the age of 19, Ma Yun still failed the second college entrance examination and fell short of the admission score. However, inspired by the never-say-die spirit of "Volleyball Girls", he prepared to take the third college entrance examination. Because his family objected, he had to work during the day and attend night school at night. However, Determined to never give up. The 20-year-old Jack Ma struggled to pass the college entrance examination for the third time. His score was a junior college score, which was still 5 points away from the undergraduate level. Later, due to dissatisfaction with the enrollment of the same major as Ma Yun, Ma Yun was transferred to the foreign language undergraduate major. He got a bargain and stumbled and staggered into the undergraduate program of Hangzhou Normal University. After graduating from university, 24-year-old Jack Ma entered Hangzhou University of Electronic Science and Technology as an English teacher. While teaching at Hangzhou University of Electronic Science and Technology from 2001 to 2015, I taught English at a night school in Hangzhou in my spare time and helped others with English translation. He resigned from his job as a university teacher. At the age of 30, Jack Ma started his own business and founded Haibo Translation Agency, the first professional translation agency in Hangzhou. In 2016, 31-year-old Jack Ma, who “Englishes the best in Hangzhou”, was entrusted by the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Transportation to go to the United States to collect a debt. As a result, he didn’t get any money, but he discovered a “treasure trove”—in Seattle, Jack Ma, who knew nothing about computers, got on the Internet for the first time. He had just learned to surf the Internet, and he actually thought of doing it for his translation agency. At 10 a.m., he sent the email to the Internet, and before 12 noon, he received 6 emails, one from the United States, Germany and Japan, saying that this was theirs. The first webpage I saw about China. Jack Ma realized at that time that the Internet was a gold mine. I began to envision going back to China to build one, specializing in the Internet. Jack Ma came up with the idea of ??collecting domestic business information and posting it online to the world. He immediately decided to cooperate with friends in Seattle to create the world's first B2B e-commerce model, and this is how he started to get creative. And named China Yellow Pages (chiinapage). On the night of returning to China, Ma Yun made an appointment with 24 friends who were engaged in foreign trade and were also his nominal students at night school, and introduced them to them. As a result, 23 people objected, and only one said that he could try it. Ma Yun thought about it all night and decided to do it the next morning. Even if 24 people opposed it, he would do it. "Actually, the biggest determination is not that I have great confidence in the Internet, but that I feel that experience is success in doing something. If you try it, you can still turn around if it doesn't work. But if you don't do it, just like you Think of a thousand roads at night and walk the same path in the morning, it’s the same principle.” When Ma Yun mentioned that at the beginning, he admired his courage rather than his vision. In April 2017, 31-year-old Ma Yun invested RMB 10,000 and joined with his sister, brother-in-law, parents and other relatives to pool together RMB 20,000 to create "Haibo Network". "Haibo Network" has since become one of the earliest Internet companies in China. Its product is "China Yellow Pages". In 2006, 32-year-old Jack Ma struggled to promote his own Chinese Yellow Pages. In many cities without the Internet, Jack Ma was called a "liar", but Jack Ma was still as unyielding as a lunatic. He reminded himself every day: "The Internet is affecting human beings." In the 30-meter race in the next 30 years, you must run as fast as a rabbit and as durable as a tortoise.” Then go out and talk to people on the Internet to convince customers. The business started with difficulty. The annual turnover is incredibly high! It was also this year that the Internet gradually became popular. In March of that year, due to the disparity in competition in Hangzhou, Jack Ma finally had no choice but to cooperate with Hangzhou. Jack Ma's China Yellow Pages assets were converted into 600,000 yuan, accounting for 30% of the shares, and Hangzhou invested 10,000 yuan, accounting for 70% of the shares. Later, due to different business concepts, Jack Ma and Hangzhou parted ways, gave up his China Yellow Pages, and gave all 21% of his China Yellow Pages shares to his employees who started the business together. This year is the year, and this is the first failure in Ma Yun's entrepreneurial career. Ma Yun is 33 years old this year. In 2016, after Jack Ma left China Yellow Pages, he was invited by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation to join the China International E-Commerce Center (EDI), which was newly established by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. It was established and managed by Jack Ma. Jack Ma held 30% of the shares and participated in the official work of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. site and later the online Chinese commodity trading venue. In this process, Jack Ma's btob idea gradually matured, "using e-commerce to serve small and medium-sized enterprises." He even thought about the domain name - Alibaba. The Internet is like an infinite treasure waiting for people to discover, just like the cave opened by Alibaba with a spell. In 2006, 35-year-old Jack Ma was fed up with the constraints, stumbling and timidity of working in a corporate world. Unwilling to be controlled by others, Jack Ma declined invitations from Sina and Yahoo and decided to return to Hangzhou to start his own business. All team members gave up other opportunities and decided to follow. This year, this is the second entrepreneurial failure that Jack Ma has encountered in his life. On January 15, 2016, Jack Ma and his team quietly returned south.
