I am going to be as rich as he is one day, I swear that I will. Anyone else feeling me!?

>> No.796485

I used to think that when I was a dumb 17yr old. Now that I'm 33 I realize that I never had an idea for a business that could do that, so I'm going slow now. 20k in the market by year end. 100k in 5 to 6 years.

You need to be delusional to succeed. You need to have a vision others don't.

I have the Bloomberg Businessweek cover of him from December 2014

So originally he started by making an online chinese-english translation business, then he put shopping on the internet

Apparently he hates the American axiom of "customers come first" and he loves to tell that to his employees. After all, he's a great guy, for the services that he provides for his workers, and his leadership.

Most people don't know that Jack Ma married someone special,his wife parent was a government official at the provincial level. So I'm just assuming everyone here have some idea what having political connection means in China. Let's just say it made things a lot easier, especially in his early days to acquire capital and get the ball rolling....Just imagine you want to start a computer software company and your mom works as a executive in IBM, oh wait

State sponsored monopoly conglomerates are not unique. Samsung, Mitsubishi, etc. All have seen their rise and fall and rise again. Baba just happens to be more tech focused, but they operate on the same market forces.
