Reflections on Ma Yun's Biography

A legendary figure whose looks are inversely proportional to his talents-who knows Ma Yun? This is the title of Ma Yun's biography. Before reading this book, in my impression, Ma Yun said that a man's looks are inversely proportional to his talents. The most representative successful person is Ma Yun. I also heard that he went to KFC to apply for a waiter in his early years, and more than 21 people who went with him were accepted, but Ma Yun was brushed because of his poor image. I heard that Ma Yun likes handstands, and he also asked Alibaba employees to learn handstands in their induction training. It happens that I also have this hobby. If I want to go to Alibaba, the handstand training will be saved for them. He also has strong leadership. He led his team to unite with Jack Ma all the time, and successfully created the largest e-commerce website in China. I really didn't know much about Ma Yun before. That's all I know about him. But after reading this book, I was deeply impressed by Ma Yun's powerful personality charm and his brilliant achievements.

Basically, everyone's personal computers use the Windows operating system from Microsoft, and his founder, Bill Gates, has become the richest man in the world, making great personal wealth while changing the world. If anyone in China can compete with Bill Gates, it's Jack Ma. Ma Yun, a real and great business leader. Ma Yun was born in an ordinary family in Hangzhou. He was very thin when he was a child, but he liked to read martial arts novels. Influenced by novels, he also liked to fight, not for himself, but basically for his friends. The character of fighting righteousness is also one of the reasons why he can always have a group of brothers.

When Ma Yun was a student, his grades were not good, only English was particularly good, science was particularly poor, and he often got 1 points in math. This thin student with a big head is obviously very special. He is proud of English, and I think it is English that changed Ma Yun's life. This is why he was able to be an English teacher in Hangzhou, then contacted the Internet in the United States, and then founded Alibaba. Ma Yun's efforts to learn English originated from his geography teacher, who could communicate with foreigners in English. In a geography class, the teacher told them that they must learn English well. When foreigners came to China, everyone could introduce the geography of China in English, which would bring shame to China people. It is this teacher whom Ma Yun worships that inspires his interest in learning English. He has nothing to do, so he goes out to practice his spoken English with foreigners and works as a tour guide for foreigners spontaneously, of course, to practice English. In this way, he trained a pure American English. Foreigners thought that he had lived and studied abroad, but in fact, Ma Yun had never been abroad at that time. A few days ago, I watched a speech given by Ma Yun at Stanford University on the Internet. The whole speech was delivered in fluent and standard English. At that time, I was shocked by his fluent English and first-class eloquence. It turns out that his good English has been practiced since childhood. Ma Yun thinks that others' evaluation is good and good, and the evaluation is bad and good, at least it means that they are special people, otherwise they are mediocre people. He is such a special person. Many great men are not even as good as normal people in one respect, but superhuman talent in one respect can achieve what ordinary people can't do.

Ma Yun is a man who keeps his promise. In his early days, he worked as an ordinary English teacher in Hangzhou. When he was a teacher, his eloquence began to play a role, and students liked to listen to his English classes. At that time, the principal was worried that he would not be able to do it for a long time. He once told him that I only made one request. Can you do it for five years? Ma Yun said yes. So he stayed in that school for five years before leaving. This is also what I admire very much, but gold will always shine. Later, an American invested in Hangzhou. Because Ma Yun was famous for his good English, the government invited him to be an interpreter. Later, he was sent to the United States to investigate the background of the American, and it turned out that the American was a liar. It was this opportunity to go to the United States that Ma Yun saw the newly emerging Internet in the United States, and his keen sense of smell found that it could make a career in China. It was this trip to the United States that led to the Internet entrepreneurship after Ma Yun. Opportunities are everywhere, and those who are always prepared can seize them.

Then he called on a group of students who used to go to night school to continue their business in Beijing. Ma Yun first created China Yellow Pages, and was later acquired due to the strong competition of state-owned enterprises. He also made great contributions to the early Internet publicity in Beijing. However, with the influx of foreign capital, Ma Yun has no chance in Beijing, and his funds and manpower are obviously stretched. After working hard in Beijing for a year, I have never made any money, and everyone on the team is very helpless. After thinking, Ma Yun decided to give up Beijing and go back to Hangzhou to continue his business. He told the team at the meeting that you have three choices now: first, I recommend you to go to Yahoo, and you can go there, and the salary is not low. Second, I recommend you to go to Sina and Sohu. You can also go, and the salary is not low. Third, follow me back to Hangzhou to start a business, and rent a house five minutes from my home, with a salary of 811 yuan a month. The team left the meeting room, and after three minutes, everyone came back. At that time, Ma Yun was moved to tears. What a good group of brothers Ma Yun was, and his brothers also had an excellent boss and outstanding leader.
