A short Chinese man is one of the biggest men in the world right now. He is Jack Ma ( Ma Yun), the Chairman (董事局主席) of Alibaba Group. On Sept. 19, 2014, Alibaba went public(上市) and raised $25 billion. Ma, a former English teacher, has become the richest man in China.
Born in 1964 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, Ma grew up as a happy kid. When he was a teenager, he wanted to learn English. Every morning, he got up at 5 a.m., rode his bike for 40 minutes to a hotel near the West Lake and talked with foreign tourists in English. He did it for nine years, rain or shine.
The experience made him an excellent English speaker and also opened his eyes to the outside world. In 1994, Ma Yun heard about the Internet for the first time. And on a 1995 trip to the US, Ma was shown the Internet for the first time. He searched the word “beer” on Yahoo, and found that there was nothing there about China. Seeing the chance, Ma returned to China and set up a website called China Pages without even knowing much about computers.
Four years later, Ma, his wife and his friends set up Alibaba in Hangzhou. He believed in the Internet business potential(潜力) when few other Chinese did. 15 years later, Alibaba has developed into the world’s largest e-commerce company (电子商务公司), owning popular shopping websites like Taobao and Tmall.
