Global vision, local win.

Only fools use their mouth to speak. A smart man uses his brain, and a wise man uses his heart.

If the customer loves you, the government will have to love you.

Opportunities are where the complaints are.

My dream was to set up my own e-commerce company. In 1999, I gathered 18 people in my apartment and spoke to them for two hours about my vision. Everyone put their money on the table, and that got us $60,000 to start Alibaba. I wanted to have a global company, so I chose a global name.

Help young people. Help small guys. Because small guys will be big. Young people will have the seeds you bury in their minds, and when they grow up, they will change the world.

My job is to help more people have jobs.
