What Else Do You Know About Ma Yun'S Story?
Many people want to start a business, but they seem to have a reason why they don't start business too: I don't have money. If I have money, what?
But Ma Yun's entrepreneurial experience tells us that without money, we can start a business and create a great undertaking.
Ma Yun has had three entrepreneurial experiences.
For the first time, Ma Yun founded the Haibo plation society. The reason why he wanted to run a plation club was mainly based on three considerations: 1. at that time, many foreign trade companies in Hangzhou needed a large number of full-time or part-time foreign language plators; 2., he had too many orders in his own way, and 3. at that time, Hangzhou did not yet have a professional plation agency.
Many people have no idea of action.
But Ma had an idea and acted immediately.
At that time, in 1992, Ma Yun was a young teacher at Hangzhou Insitute of Electronic and Technology. He was 28 years old and worked for 4 years. His monthly salary was less than 100 yuan.
But no money, no problem. He found several partners to start a business together and set up the first professional plation agency in Hangzhou.
In the first month, the total income of the plation club was only 700 yuan, compared with the monthly rent of 2400 yuan.
So good friends and colleagues advised Ma Yun not to mess around, even the confidence of several partners has been shaken.
But Ma did not want to give up. In order to maintain the survival of the plation society, Ma began selling underwear, gifts, medicine and other small commodities, and sold as many salesmen as he did. He was humiliated and disappointed.
For three years, the plation agency has been relying on Ma Yun to promote the survival of these groceries.
In 1995, the plation society began to make profits.
Now, Haibo plation agency has become the largest professional plation agency in Hangzhou.
Although it can not be compared with today's Alibaba, Haibo plation club has also laid a heavy burden on Ma's entrepreneurial experience.
The biggest inspiration to him is: never give up.
There is no money, so long as you never give up, you can succeed.
The second time: Huang Huang is the first Chinese website, though it is a very rough website.
The establishment of the website stems from an experience of Ma Yun's visit to the United States.
In early 1995, Ma visited a network company of a friend in Seattle and saw the magic of the Internet. He immediately realized the great future of the Internet in the future and decided to return to the Internet immediately.
Starting from the start of the business, Ma still has little money and all his family has only 6000 yuan.
So he sold the office furniture of Haibo plation agency, and borrowed money from relatives and friends, which only made enough of 80000 yuan.
Plus two friends, the total investment is only 100 thousand yuan.
For a network company, a small area of 100 thousand yuan is really too poor.
Many people say that as a network company, there are not millions of millions of players who can't turn around.
Some people say that today's environment is quite different from Ma's founding of China's yellow pages. At that time, 100 thousand would be fine.
I said, these are all excuses.
Those who say such things will never achieve great success in life because they see difficulties in their eyes.
For the Chinese yellow pages, the fund is also the biggest problem.
Because of the large expenditure and the small amount of business, the company's bank account was only 200 yuan in cash at the worst time.
However, Ma Yun has overcome all kinds of difficulties with his perseverance, and has achieved millions of turnover from 0.
Of course, China's yellow pages were bought by Hangzhou Telecom.
But I think Chinese yellow pages are still successful in Ma Yun's hands.
Third times: the establishment of Alibaba, Alibaba is undoubtedly a miracle in the history of Internet in China. This miracle was created by Ma Yun and his team.
However, there are not enough money for Alibaba to start a business. 500 thousand, it is 18 people who gather together to get together.
500 thousand, they are all family property.
However, this is the 500 thousand, Ma Yun has shouted out such a declaration: we want to build the world's largest e-commerce company, to enter the top ten ranking of global websites.
It was 1999.
In 1999, China's Internet has entered the white hot state. Foreign venture capitalists are crazy about investing money in Chinese Internet companies, and Internet companies are also burning money frantically.
500 thousand, it is just a small advertising fee for large portals such as Sina, Sohu and NetEase.
Alibaba start business is very difficult, everyone salary is only 500 yuan, the company's expenditure can not be divided into two cents to spend.
Go out to work and carry out the spirit of "going out on the road".
It is said that once there was a lot of shopping, so there was no way out.
Everyone waved to the taxi on the road and came to a Santana. They waved their hands and sat down until they came to a Charlie. Then they sat up, because Xiali's cost per kilometer was 2 yuan less than Santana.
Alibaba has been almost unable to sustain its funding problems.
8 years passed.
In November 6, 2007, Alibaba listed on the Hongkong stock exchange and its market value reached US $20 billion, becoming the largest Internet Co in China.
Ma Yun and his entrepreneurial team created the biggest miracle in the history of Internet in China.
Most people who want to start a business in China are the same. They think about a thousand roads at night and get up in the morning.
They are much smarter than Ma Yun. They can think of a lot of entrepreneurial ideas, but they have never implemented them.
Because they have too many excuses and reasons.
"I have no money."
They all think so.
They continued their mediocre life.
Today, I saw Yu Minhong's speech at the opening ceremony of Peking University in 2008. At the end of his speech, Yu Minhong made such a speech, which made me very moved. He said: "the life of a man is a struggle, but some people have lived a great life and some people have lived a very trivial life."
If we have a great ideal and a good heart, we will be able to pile up many trivial days and become a great life.
But if you are mediocre every day, no ideals, and stop making progress, then the accumulation of your life in the future will always be a bunch of trivial things.
After watching, do you still have no excuse for starting your own business without money or something else?
What you have to do is: think of it, do it at once!
Like Ma Yun, as long as you work hard, there is nothing that you can't do in the world.
