Especially in the surging Internet field in recent years, Internet tycoons with distinctive personalities have written too many wonderful business stories and wealth legends.
The products they create, the services they provide, and the platforms or tools they operate are inseparable from our daily life, which can be described as all-round penetration, high-frequency interaction and deep-seated influence.
The future is unpredictable, at least in any past era, no entrepreneur has ever had such a profound and extensive influence on the public like them.
They may be the most progressive force that can't be ignored in this era, and they are also the most wonderful annotation of the times in this world.
No matter in business, society, consumption or spirit, we should try our best to interpret them, which is a compulsory thinking lesson and understanding training for us to open the door to the future.
We might as well start with the interpretation of Ma Yun, the most prominent figure in this era.

For Jack Ma, who is known as an "alien", we have basically lost our reading ability in the past two years.
Especially in recent years, whether it is e-commerce or logistics, whether it is new retail or big data, he has played an omnipotent super boss role in all fields he is determined to set foot in. He seems to be an "alien" from the future, seeing everything and killing everything.
Will what I said and did to him be wonderful? Now in the face of his astronomical business data miracle and unquestionable market share monopoly, most people's experience and IQ have been crushed to the point where they don't know what to say.
Now, in addition to reprinting his various remarks, listing his business data and laying out his development miracle. ....................................................................................................................................................
Regardless of the media, enterprises, officials or the public, Ma Yun will always be the focus and hot topic. But it's frustrating that I listen to him alone most of the time.
At first, everyone thought he was bragging and responded with ridicule and irony. Later, he believed that he was preaching, but he was regarded as a spiritual godfather and a business star. Now he continues to deify inertia, but he doesn't know how to flatter or criticize. Although he lacks freedom and courage, he is unable to challenge him.
Where is Ali's expansion boundary?
Where is Ma Yun's Achilles heel?
I think most people want to know, but they are unable to see through it. So good people will regard him as a legend, while evil people will regard him as a devil.
After all, Ali's beyond imagination will make people fear for no reason, and Ali's unreasonable and strong reshuffle will more or less suffocate his peers.
Jack Ma, who was pushed to the altar, was given too many auras, but to some extent, we seriously underestimated Jack Ma, not only his ability and ambition, but also his sincerity and greatness.
We have been deeply impressed by his ability and ambition: Ma Yun, who thought boasting was unreliable, actually has the ability to match his ambition, so it is effortless to realize his dream; Of course, he also has ambitions that match his abilities, so his abilities are not wasted at all.
It should be emphasized that Ma Yun's success may have an element of luck, but purely by luck, Ma Yun can't go so far and won't do so much.

As an English teacher, he can lead a team that is not particularly outstanding and achieve remarkable business results in just 18 years. Moreover, it plans to grow into "the fifth largest economy in the world" in the next 18 years. Compared with businessmen or entrepreneurs of any previous era, he is also outstanding.
And these are far from enough. Perhaps beyond our expectations and imagination, Ma Yun can really make use of the opportunities and luck given by the times to make a great event of "changing the world".
In other words, Ma Yun is the kind of person who is only one step away from greatness. Paradoxically, we recognize his ability, but we don't trust his sincerity, even more or less distrustful, unwilling to admit it and unwilling to be great.
Perhaps it is just our collective shallowness that sets off the depth of Ma Yun; Perhaps only our blind obedience shows Ma Yun's cleverness.
As the most successful and prestigious super businessman of this era, Ma Yun strangely and innocently bears too many misunderstandings and incomprehensible resentment.
Many times, in front of this "alien" who can't find his opponent with a telescope, we seem to be uncivilized-the mountain he sees is not what we see, and the water he enjoys often confuses us.
Because I can't understand Ma Yun, there will always be malicious and stupid speculation or slander on him.
In 20 13, in a nearly 30,000-word interview with a reporter who "knows how to respect each other", Ma Yun revealed a long and complicated voice, mixed with too much resentment.
Well, it's just the resentment that a good man will be maliciously vilified for doing good deeds.
Many years have passed, and he has had too much applause and aura, but the understanding, recognition and respect he longed for has never been obtained.

Why are we full of misunderstandings about Ma Yun?
Or there are unstable emotional factors such as envy, jealousy and hate, but it is more related to Ma Yun's contradictory personality.
As far as personality cultivation is concerned, Ma Yun is an extremely contradictory person, and also a person who takes the theory of contradiction to the extreme.
He is modest, and his IQ is not high, but his EQ is insanely high.
He believes everything and suspects everything. He embraced everything and refused everything.
He believes in the power of science and technology, but is wary of knowledge;
He is bold but self-disciplined, warm-blooded but sober, generous but aloof;
He has a keen and profound thinking ability, and at the same time has a smooth and accommodating mentality;
He is indifferent to the stupidity of human nature and full of enthusiasm for the beauty of the world;
He is good at persuading and uniting people, and seems to be very human, but he often breaks rules and boundaries and shows a cold-blooded side?
It is also thanks to the internal unity of this personality contradiction that Ma Yun, who has a strong Jianghu complex and grassroots habits, can have amazing temple consciousness and political sense of smell at the same time.
It is also thanks to this grasp of personality contradictions that Ma Yun, who can laugh at Machamp's chaotic gods with third-rate and nine religions, can easily laugh at the current situation and global topics with world celebrities.
It is also thanks to the active tension of this personality contradiction that Ma Yun, who has star temperament and personality charm, can freely complete seamless connection and efficient transformation among various complex identities such as businessmen, teachers, philanthropists, stars and artists.
It must be admitted that it is precisely because of this "extremely unstable" personality that many people are puzzled, and even emotionally think that Ma Yun is a liar or a big fool, although there is no black history of fraud or dishonesty to prove it.
Objectively speaking, Ma Yun is not only a person with a rare true temperament, but also a kind-hearted person, not only a Chinese businessman with a rare spirit of contract, but also a person with feelings of home and country and civic awareness.
Although he laughs at himself that "every mistake a man wants to make", in fact, he is very self-disciplined, to a certain extent, divorced from low taste, and can be regarded as a noble and hardworking decent person, a person who actively releases positive energy.
In fact, Ma Yun is the person we should admire and be excited about most-
It is not his huge business ambition and enterprise dream of "serving 2 billion people in the world, solving employment opportunities for 1 100 million people and creating profit development space for 1 100 million enterprises".
Instead, it is really possible for him to explore a brand-new business model, a more progressive political and business relationship, a revolutionary socialized corporate governance model, and a groundbreaking capitalized social welfare model.
He has enough sincerity and strength, and also has enough opportunities to use the power of business to incite a technology-driven social change, trigger an ideological change forced by business, and promote a balanced distribution change between the rich and the poor, so that more people can benefit and make everyone live better.
Yes, there are too many problems in this world, yes, this era is indeed full of too many unbearable, but it must also be admitted that-
We live in a great era full of infinite possibilities, a high-spirited historical window.
Ma Yun, who is ahead of the times, may be ready, depending on whether we can keep up with his rhythm and be willing to cooperate with him to actively complete a commercial social transformation.
