Speaking of Jack Ma, everyone must be familiar with him, after all, Alibaba Group provides a convenient trading and information platform for everyone. His Versailles statement 'I'm not interested in money' has sparked heated discussions among millions of netizens.

On September 10, 2019, 55 year old Jack Ma announced his retirement and left Alibaba Group, gradually fading out of public view.

Although he was very low-key after retirement, everyone still heard about his whereabouts. According to the Financial Times in the UK, Jack Ma lived in Japan with his family for at least half a year after retirement, and this year, he also published a work called "Sheng Sheng" in Japan.

But in March of this year, news broke out again:

Retired Jack Ma is about to return to Alibaba Group.

However, this news did not follow and instead sparked heated discussions in June when he taught in Japan.

Is he going to use some big tricks again?

Life after retirement

In fact, during Jack Ma's retirement, he went to many places. Before going to Japan, Jack Ma left his trail in the Netherlands. According to a Dutch official website, he went to a university in the Netherlands and conducted an agricultural inspection. Jack Ma also claimed in an interview that he will attach importance to the development of agriculture in the future.

In the photos and whereabouts revealed during his trip to Japan, it is evident that Jack Ma was also in Japan for agriculture:

He first appeared in the rural hot springs and fields outside Tokyo to investigate planting technology, and the Japan Ocean Culture University has also seen Ma Yun.

But his next plan and specific movements, apart from himself, no one can guess.

On January 5 this year, Hong Kong media reported that Ma Yun had new trends. He left a footprint in Bangkok, Thailand, and his dining photos with the chairman of Charoen Pokphand were also displayed in front of netizens.

In addition, he also made a survey of Charoen Pokphand. There was a lot of talk about it. Many people thought whether the two would cooperate. In those months, Ma Yun met and communicated with business tycoons in China and Southeast Asia for many times.

Surprisingly, after Ma Yun met Dhanin Chearavanont, Chairman of Charoen Pokphand, in Thailand, Charoen Pokphand's Hong Kong shares rose 2.5 times in half a month, which shows Ma Yun's influence.

Of course, Jack Ma also attaches great importance to the enjoyment of life. He bought a 1099 square meter, worth 1.5 billion yuan, three story luxury home in Hong Kong, which sets a record for the most expensive luxury home per square meter in Hong Kong.

In addition, he also spent a huge sum of 150 million yuan to buy Brandon Nature Park in New York, 200 million dollars to buy a private yacht in Spain, and one billion dollar worth of luxury homes in Japan. Usually, he often goes to high-end places and interacts with various wealthy individuals.

Ma Yun once said that his favorite profession is teaching, and he also hopes to one day become a teacher. After retirement, he also realized this idea.

On June 12 this year, Ma Yun appeared in a class at University of Tokyo. Soon, the official website of University of Tokyo said that Ma Yun had become a professor at the University of Tokyo Tokyo College.

Ma Yun's term of office will last until October 31, 2023. His research and teaching will mainly focus on education and enterprise innovation, management concepts, future attractiveness and other fields.

As soon as the news was released, many students came to listen to the courses of this virtual world leader giant.

Where does his teacher's obsession come from?

A "scumbag" who scored one point in math in the college entrance examination

Speaking of counterattacks, Jack Ma must be a successful example.

His father is an artist named Malafa. When Jack Ma was young, he equipped his home with various electronic devices and provided him with a good education. In this way, at a young age, Jack Ma learned proficient computer operations from his father and also gained knowledge related to the internet.

When Jack Ma was 12 years old, he became interested in English on the radio. Therefore, he always watches the radio and listens to English broadcasts every day when he comes home from school. Over time, he developed a fluent English.

Perhaps due to the influence of books, film, and television works, Jack Ma has always had the determination to "help out when facing injustice" since childhood. Coupled with his rebellious mentality during adolescence, he often fought with others during his junior high school years. In the most serious injury, he went to the hospital for 13 stitches. In this regard, his parents often teach him to be calm and not to fight casually.

But Ma Yun didn't pay much attention to these teachings until he dropped out of school at the age of 13 due to receiving too many punishments. His parents had to complete the procedures to transfer him, hoping that he could learn a lesson from this matter and study safely.

However, he still did not listen to his parents and made his own choices recklessly, which made his grades not very ideal. He only scored 31 points in mathematics during the middle school entrance examination, but it took him two years to enter a not outstanding high school.

Perhaps he didn't want to study hard, or perhaps he really didn't have a talent for mathematics. In 1982, Jack Ma participated in the college entrance examination and when he scored, he found that he only scored 1 in mathematics.

This made Jack Ma feel discouraged and unwilling to take the path of studying. Therefore, he tried various jobs until the following year, when he still decided to participate in the college entrance examination.

However, his performance was still unsatisfactory. He scored 19 points in the math exam. His parents thought that he had no talent for math, and began to persuade him not to study and find another way out.

Ma Yun, who had tried various jobs, chose to choose between them or decided to take the path of learning. At this point, he knew the importance of learning and began to study hard.

In 1984, Jack Ma participated in his third college entrance examination, and this time he finally made progress in mathematics, scoring 89 points, but still not enough for the undergraduate score line.

But luck came and nothing could stop it. That year, the enrollment of English majors did not meet the target line and began to decline.

At this point, Jack Ma, who had excellent English grades, was exceptionally admitted to Hangzhou Normal University.

It was also the atmosphere of the normal college that gave him the idea of becoming a teacher.

As a result of his excellent English performance, he was assigned to Hangzhou Electronics Institute of technology as a lecturer in English and international trade upon graduation.

After four years as a teacher, Jack Ma's English proficiency and speaking skills became increasingly strong, so he was invited to become a translator in 1992.

Perhaps due to his increasing knowledge and understanding of the internet, in 1995, 31 year old Jack Ma prepared to start a business. However, at that time, he had no experience in entrepreneurship and encountered obstacles everywhere, experiencing multiple entrepreneurial failures. But he learned from experience, did not lose heart, did not give up, and his efforts did not disappoint those who cared, and he finally saw the dawn of success.

In April 1999, the Alibaba website was launched, and from then on, Jack Ma began his journey of "opening and hanging".

When he later started his business, he fully understood the importance of mathematics, after all, the Internet cannot do without algorithms. Last September, Alibaba held its first global mathematics competition, and at the award ceremony, he solemnly said:

Some people say that learning mathematics is useless, but in fact, being useless is the most useful thing

He also stated that mathematics is a fundamental discipline, and there will be traces of mathematics everywhere in the future. It is also very important for children to exercise their imagination during the learning process.

Ma Yun's Success

Despite experiencing multiple failures, Jack Ma still achieved miracles. Many entrepreneurs have observed Jack Ma's life experience and attitude in an attempt to learn something from it.

So, what are the reasons for his success?

No matter when starting a business, one must have the ability to innovate. Alibaba has created many scientific and technological achievements, such as cloud computing, Big data resources, artificial intelligence and other fields.

But innovation ability is not generated out of thin air. It requires long-term exposure to the outside world in order to comprehend the truth. Just like Jack Ma's experience, he has been exposed to the internet since he was young, and coupled with his exposure to the internet during his time as a translator when he grew up, he is certainly familiar with this information.

Of course, having an innovative spirit is not enough, after all, there are many people who are knowledgeable and have ideas. Continuous learning and effort are also important reasons. Perseverance, perseverance, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle.

Moreover, Jack Ma has a very sensitive sense of the market and business. He saw the market for the Internet and technology during that era and dared to continuously put in efforts and efforts on it.

And in entrepreneurship, teams are extremely important, and every member of the project must unleash their value. Therefore, the organizational and communication skills of leaders are also necessary.

Of course, entrepreneurship cannot be smooth sailing, as times are changing and market conditions and demands can change at any time. If one cannot adapt to circumstances and lacks the ability to take risks, even if the beginning is good, they may still face danger in the future.

Luck is a part of strength, and Jack Ma also has a component of luck. However, no one can deny his efforts and abilities.

Ma Yun Gradually Falling from the Temple

Today, Alipay, Taobao, Tmall and other platforms have become indispensable platforms in people's lives, but the almost monopoly situation makes the country constantly warn them.

In 2004, Alipay came into the market. Because the platform is convenient, fast and full of functions, more and more users choose to use this function.

With the increasing number of its audience, Ant Financial Services Group has gradually emerged in Alipay.

Ant Financial has a global customer base of 870 million, with 552 million users in China alone.

However, its Ant Financial service is essentially an online loan, which is not funded by Jack Ma, but is a combination of a large number of financial assets.

According to statistics, Ant Financial itself only has a principal of 40 billion yuan, but the loans it has released are as high as 2 trillion yuan.

This huge number is terrifying. If these loans go wrong, the financial market will be severely damaged, and hundreds of millions of users will suffer. Of course, the country should stop this in a timely manner and maintain a good financial market.

On November 3, 2020, the actual controller of Ant Group and the main management department were interviewed by the relevant departments about the problems of Ant Group that do not meet the conditions for listing and information disclosure. Shanghai Stock Exchange issued the Decision on Suspending the Listing of Ant Technology Group Co., Ltd. on the Science and Technology Innovation Board, officially announcing the suspension of Ant Group's listing.

This year, Ant Group was fined 7.123 billion yuan for its violations, which shows the huge ambition of capitalists.

In addition to this project, Alibaba Group has also been fined multiple times. In April 2021, Alibaba Group was fined 18.228 billion yuan. In addition, its stock price has plummeted and its vitality has greatly decreased compared to before.

However, capitalists are full of ambition, and if a company becomes a bit lonely, they will definitely find another way out. Perhaps his new path in agriculture and the whereabouts of his teachers in recent years is his new path.

A constant stream of questioning voices

Although Alibaba Group has provided convenience to the public and brought technological progress, netizens have expressed doubts about some of Jack Ma's words and actions.

For example, under the 996 working system, many migrant workers consider it a nightmare and an oppression of the common people. Moreover, the Labor Law of our country specifies in detail the eight hour working system, and the weekly working hours of workers do not exceed 44 hours.

However, Jack Ma expressed strong support for the 996 system. On April 11, 2019, Jack Ma told employees in the company:

Today, China's BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) and other companies are able to achieve 996, and I believe it is a blessing that we, the people, have cultivated

He also said:

In this world, each and every one of us hopes for success, a better life, and respect. I ask everyone, how can you achieve the success you want without putting in more effort and time than others

These words may seem reasonable, but they are actually ruthless exploitation and exploitation of employees.

In addition, the Ant project has also caused numerous criticisms, and in order to raise funds, the group has started borrowing at will. If it were to collapse, the consequences would be unimaginable. It is precisely this matter that makes many unacceptable people no longer use Alipay for access.

Moreover, his coaching in Tokyo this year has also been criticized by a large number of netizens. Why did he go to Japan to coach? Why not choose to cultivate more talents in China?

In addition, his suspected "pro Japanese" behavior in recent years has also become a reason for netizens to curse him.

His controversy certainly goes beyond this, and the main aspect of criticism is his gradually emerging capitalist fangs.

But these negative comments will not have any impact on him, he still adheres to his own ideas and practices. Despite numerous controversies and an increasing desire to control capital, it is impossible to deny the contributions he has made or the charitable contributions he has made.

So, whether his actions are the "Japanese licking dog" despised on the internet or just a desire for friendly technological exchanges with Japan, time will eventually witness everything.
