People always say that there is specialization in the technical field, and most people are always used to staying in their familiar fields to make a living for themselves, but there are always some people who dare to break into unfamiliar fields and create a world that is amazing to the world, and Ma Yun is such a person.
Create a huge e-commerce empire
In those days, Liu Bang won the world mainly because he made good use of talents. In fact, he is not a man who is good at war or strategy, but he can attract many capable people. I have to say that this is a rare ability.
Look again, Chairman Mao, who was a scholar in those days, actually didn't know how to shoot even one enemy with his own hands, but he was admired by thousands of people and became a great man, because there is no shortage of people who can fight and risk their lives for the nation in China, but there is a shortage of people who can closely unite a nation, because only when a nation is closely United can it have hope and ability to be weak in itself.
Therefore, it seems not so hard to imagine that Ma Yun became the founder of Alibaba and created a huge e-commerce empire without knowing the Internet technology. In the final analysis, it is the following qualities that determine his seemingly accidental success.
Stubborn persistence
Ma Yun's entrepreneurial and innovative experience before achieving great success was actually very rich. He founded Haibo translation agency. At first, in order to survive, Haibo translation agency once contracted many sideline businesses. At Ma Yun's insistence, Haibo translation agency didn't disappear through bankruptcy. Finally, in the third year, Haibo translation agency, which sustained losses, achieved a balance of payments and began to generate income in the fourth year. Nowadays, Haibo translation agency is one of the largest professional translation agencies in Hangzhou. From this example, it is not difficult to see that Ma Yun is very persistent in one thing he has determined, and he has a kind of ferocity that he will not give up until he reaches his goal.
In fact, this quality has been revealed since a long time ago. He chose to take the test again after failing to get into high school, and succeeded in the second test. He didn't get into the undergraduate course, even if his math scores were extremely unsatisfactory twice in a row, even if his family dissuaded him, he didn't give up the idea of taking the exam again. Facts also proved that he was not an ignorant child, just because he couldn't accept the failure of the college entrance examination, he tried at will without meaning, wasting time and bringing trouble to his family. It is not difficult to see from the remarkable progress that he is really working hard and firmly towards his goal. I think every decision he made after that was not "an armchair strategist".
He is innovative and has the courage to try his best to achieve his goal
He initiated the first English corner near the West Lake, which made him famous in the translation field in Hangzhou. He founded Hangzhou Haibo Computer Service Co., Ltd., the first internet business company in China, although there were only three employees at that time, including him and his wife; He founded "China Yellow Pages", the first Internet business information publishing website in China ...
From these examples, we can see that Ma Yun's terrible innovation ability may not be compared with some scientists or some imaginative creators, but compared with ordinary people, it is still a myth. After all, it is always difficult for ordinary people to jump out of the ordinary thinking mode.
For many people, it is a good quality to put their ideas into practice and dare to try. But have you ever thought that life is so difficult that people can hardly see the dawn with all their efforts, so why can you casually try to succeed? But in reality, even fewer people try.
Ma Yun, on the other hand, never dares to try. Instead, whatever he decides to do and what he decides to realize, he will try his best to realize it. To borrow a word, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. On the journey of Ma Yun's entrepreneurship, he can be said to be always ready.
Have the ability to unite with others
As the saying goes, it is difficult to speak with one hand, but it is difficult to support one tree. No matter how capable you are, it is difficult to stir up the storm by yourself.
And Ma Yun, no, not just Ma Yun, many people have this ability to some extent. For example, many entrepreneurs have mentioned the help of friends and the importance of friends to themselves in interviews. Friends here are not necessarily people who go shopping and play games with you, but people who can lend you a helping hand when you are in trouble.
But Ma Yun is different from them. It's not that it's not bad that Ma Yun doesn't have many friends, but that it's very difficult for him to take many capable people under his command. Throughout the ages, people who can take capable people under his command and use them are all people who have made great achievements.
but first of all, if you want to attract capable people, you must not be mediocre. Capable people have pride and will not be content to be inferior to incompetent people. From some people, this matter has been confirmed. Cao Cao, who has many talents, is an outstanding politician, strategist, writer, calligrapher and poet in ancient China. Look again, our great leader Chairman Mao is a strategist, calligrapher and poet ...
We can see from Ma Yun's life experience that he is indeed a very capable person. During his college years, Ma Yun not only served as the chairman of the Student Union, but also served as the chairman of the two-time Hangzhou Students' Union. After he started working, he was rated as an outstanding young teacher in Hangzhou. It can be said that gold will shine wherever he goes. Even if he does not start a business, he will become a leader in another industry sooner or later. Therefore, even if he didn't know the internet-related technology at that time, he could find someone who was good at it and do it with him after discovering the opportunity.
Being sponsored to go to school in 4 yuan every year
There is an equally important thing, that is, Ma Yun's own personality charm. After all, everyone is capable. Why did Ma Yun recruit others instead of others? After learning some other stories and ideas of Ma Yun, I understood that Ma Yun is indeed a person with great personality charm. For example, his Weibo name has been Jack Ma, the spokesman for rural teachers for several years, and for another example, he was awarded the title of "The Best in China" for the 12th time, with a donation of 12.4 billion yuan. At the same time, he has been committed to the development of education. Ma Yun once met David Morley of Australia by chance, and then he kept writing to him in English. David's father was willing to understand and felt that Ma Yun's English needed to be improved, so he offered to help Ma Yun correct his mistakes in his article. Later, he decided to support Ma Yun 4 yuan every year to help him successfully complete his studies. After many years, he began to learn to support poor students like David's father, and donated 14 million yuan to Newcastle University in the name of those who supported him, and named it Mammoli Scholarship after him and those who supported him. From this, we can know that Ma Yun is a person who knows how to give back to society and benefactors.
Conclusion
Ma Yun's life is legendary, and there are many stories worth telling. Now, retired Ma Yun has been planning the listing of Ant Group, but the Shanghai Stock Exchange has decided to suspend the listing application of Ant Group science and technology innovation board. People's Bank of China, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, China Securities Regulatory Commission and State Administration of Foreign Exchange have interviewed Ma Yun and others. Perhaps the trigger was Ma Yun's attack on the financial supervision system in his speech a few days ago, but the root of the problem must have existed long ago. Some people on the Internet said that he would lose his life, but I still want to believe that he can make a perfect ending for his legendary life.
