Jack Ma: Never Say Never
By ESC Editorial Team, 8 months ago
With deep cheekbones and twisted hair, 5 feet tall, he
was called “Chinese Napoleon” by the media. He took part in the College
Entrance Examination for three times, but the grade in math was so frustrating
that he almost gave up the college dream. Nevertheless, he speaks fluent
English which even made some people take him for a foreigner. He was the first
one to touch the Internet world, though in the early years, he was saddled with
bad names such as Liar and Madman. However, this strong-willed man was not
easily put down by the sufferings, but tackled them ahead on and finally became
a global ambassador for Chinese business and one of the world’s most powerful
people. He is Jack Ma. The book thoroughly portraits the legendary story of
this commercial magnate and recounts his ups and downs throughout these fifty
years. From failing in the college entrance examination to realising his
college dream, from being rejected for several times to finding a career as a
teacher, from craving out to getting the company on the right track, from
setting up the China Yellow Page despite opposition to creating the e-commerce
empire Alibaba, from encountering the crisis of Taobao to leading the Alibaba
to go public, Jack Ma never stopped climbing higher. Apart from his bumpy
experience in starting business, the book also reveals specific aspects of Jack
Ma’s life, including his family, his characteristics to his mood changes during
these periods.
