18Th Anniversary Annual Meeting Ma Yun Speech, Alibaba Will Become The World'S Fifth Largest Economy.

"I hope our last respect is not due to how much we rank in the world, nor because of our income and profits, but because we can create value and solve problems for China, for the world, for the future, and for all the people we care and love."

Chairman of Alibaba group board

At the just concluded 2017 Alibaba conference.

In September 8th,

The group held a staff meeting in Hangzhou. Tens of thousands of employees and customers gathered in the world to celebrate the Alibaba group's 18 birthday.

This is the largest staff meeting since the Alibaba was founded.

At the meeting, Ma Yun made a request to all alibabs, saying that in the future, there must be "home country sentiment" and "world responsibility". Only when "considering the country, considering the society and considering the role of the world, Ali will win respect".

He made these demands in the context of Alibaba's future development.

He said Alibaba hopes to build itself into a network based economy and will become the fifth largest economy in the world in the future.

"The difference between an economy and an ordinary company is that the company only takes its own interests into account, and the economy has to shoulder the social responsibility. It is not the difference between scale and profit, but the difference between responsibility and responsibility.

We hope to solve 100 million of the employment opportunities for the whole world, and we hope to serve 2 billion of the consumers. We also hope to create a profitable platform for 1000 million SMEs. "

According to the latest data, Alibaba's GMV is now the twenty-first largest economy in the world, which is comparable to Argentina's economic volume.

Ma Yun said he hopes Alibaba will be able to enter the top five economies in 2036.

Ma Yun hopes that the value that this economy can create is to make the world economy more inclusive and share, so that the world economy can be more sustainable development, so that the world economy can grow healthier and happier.

Through this new economy, young people from all over the world, and small and medium-sized enterprises in the world can make global purchases, global sales, global payments, global pportation and global postal services. More developing countries, SMEs and young people can share the joy of globalization, the joy of free trade, and entrepreneurship and innovation, all of which can try to bring benefits to the whole technology, rather than harm.

He said that 18 years ago, Alibaba saw opportunities, and 18 years later, Alibaba saw huge challenges.

"The challenge of this world will be bigger and bigger, whether political, economic, cultural, religious, all kinds of conflicts, coupled with technological changes and social changes, will be very great in the next 30 years."

Ma Yun believes that in the process of reform and change, we need the power of market, innovation and technology to push forward. This is the mission that Alibaba must undertake. "We want to be a catfish driven by progress in all walks of life", he said, which is the mission of Alibaba group.

Ma stressed that the world is not big but not inverted. It is only illusion that it is big but not inverted. It is only good but not falling down. "Alibaba is not to make itself bigger, but to do well and do well is the most important principle."

In the next 5 to 10 years, we are not going to surpass anybody, but we need to solve the problems for the future, and to act for the small and medium enterprises, for the young people, and for our promise to make the world no hard business.

Therefore, he also told his employees, "there will always be more profitable companies in the world than we do. Companies will always be better than our models, but the world needs everyone to have a clear idea of what they have, what they want and what they want to do.

So Alibaba can lose everything, but it can't lose idealism.

Talking about thanking staff

We want to thank this era, thank the Internet, thank China, and thank all our colleagues, including those who have worked in the Alibaba for even half an hour.

The biggest change in the past 18 years is that we have changed from 18 to 54421 employees, from 70 different countries. We have offices in 21 countries and regions.

Our greatest achievement in the past 18 years is that we have everybody, from 18 people to 5.4 million people. Our greatest wealth is because of you, our biggest asset is that we have more than 54 thousand employees.

I flew in the air for 870 hours last year, but last year, Ali people flew 680 thousand hours in the air, equivalent to 77 years in the air. Thank you for your efforts.

On Alibaba economies

Today's Alibaba is no longer an ordinary company. It is already an economy, a new type of economy.

The former economies were geographically defined: the Yangtze River Delta economies, the Pearl River Delta economies, and the California economies.

But today the new economy is born on the Internet.

We hope that through this new economy and its infrastructure, young people and SMEs in the world can achieve global buying, global selling, global payments, global pportation and global mail.

We hope that more developing countries, SMEs and young people will be able to share the joy of free trade and globalization, try our best to create new businesses and enjoy the benefits of technological progress.

Today it is the twenty-first largest economy in the world.

In another 19 years, we hope to build the fifth largest economy in the world.

The fifth largest economy is not because of scale, but responsibility.

We hope to solve 100 million of the employment opportunities for the whole world. We hope to serve 2 billion of the consumers. We also hope to create a profitable platform for 1000 million small and medium-sized enterprises.

The value created by this economy is to make the world more inclusive and shared, and to make the world economy more sustainable, healthier and happier.

Economies are different from ordinary ones. Companies take their own interests into consideration, while economies are responsible for society.

It is not the difference of scale, not the difference of profit, but the difference between responsibility and responsibility.

On idealism, responsibility and family sentiments

18 years ago, we saw opportunities, and 18 years later, we saw great challenges.

What worries me all the time is environmental problems, poverty, disease and injustice.

Today, Alibaba has more than 50 thousand employees, 25 thousand engineers and scientists. We have strong technical capabilities, huge technological resources, customers and certain influence.

We need to think about what we should do in the face of future problems.

Because we have what others do not have. It is not just wealth, but responsibility.

Let Alibaba adhere to 18 years because we have idealism, adhere to idealism, Alibaba has come to this day.

What worries me most is our employees, who forget their idealism when they see all these things.

If one has no ideal, this person will live very dull.

And the organizations made up of people lose their ideals. A company loses its ideals and is just a machine to make money.

There will always be more profitable companies in the world than we do, but everyone in the world needs to have a clear idea of what they want, what they want and what they want to do.

So Alibaba can lose everything, but can not lose idealism.

18 years ago, our dream was to be a Chinese company that respects the world.

We must have "family feelings" and "world responsibility" in the future. We must consider our own home, consider everyone's home, consider this society, consider this country, consider the role of the world, Ali will win respect.

In the next 5 to 10 years, we are not going to surpass anybody, nor to be the top three of the world. We need to solve problems for the future, and to act for SMEs, young people, and businesses that made us do business that year.

Talking about Ali business direction

In the future, Alibaba will devote itself to globalization and actively promote globalization.

We must look at the problem from a global perspective. We must use global capabilities and integrate resources to solve the problems of society and the future of the world.

Globalization is irresistible. We should not obstruct globalization. Alibaba has the responsibility to perfect globalization.

We will go all out to invest in rural development at all costs. Technology should not become the driving force for the gap between the rich and the poor. Technology is a complete, thorough and universal sharing. We must enable all mankind to share such technology.

So we must take part in China's poverty alleviation today. We must take part in the global poverty alleviation. I believe that as long as we can solve the problem of poverty, I believe Alibaba will not be proud of our profits, not our income, nor our size, but our responsibilities and enormous rewards.

We will further increase technological input and technological innovation.

Today Ali is proud of it. 25 thousand engineers and scientists joined Ali. Thank you for creating countless technological miracles for Alibaba. You will create wonders for the world in the future.

The investment of technology is not only a problem of capital, but our commitment. The development of technology is not only to make "do nothing evil" as the bottom line, but to contribute to the society and the world. That is the mission of our technology.

Talking about happy work and serious life

We will always be the first customer, without the support and trust of our customers. There will be no Alibaba.

The most precious thing in the world is the trust of customers. Trust is the most expensive and the most vulnerable product.

Caring for small and medium enterprises, caring for young people and caring for women is the real concern for the future and our own future.

I hope our staff will remember that Alibaba is bigger today, but we are really a child compared to the future.

We are proud, but we cannot be arrogant. We can not be opinionated, leave the platform, leave our partners, leave the trust we have, we are nothing.

I am sorry to hear that Ali is arrogant outside. Ali is arrogant. Ali thinks he can do everything.

We must understand and must have a humble heart.

If Alibaba wants to be a great enterprise, our employees must be humble.

If Alibaba wants to become a world's future and solve the problem, our employees should first take responsibility for themselves, family, team and community.

Live earnestly, work happily and keep your ideals.

The difference between us and others is that we should take our lives seriously than anyone else.

Life is only once, it does not have Rehearse (rehearsal), so you do not take seriously, life will not really treat you.

More interesting reports, please pay attention.
