Ma Yun and his English name is Jack Ma one of the world where successful entrepreneurs worldwide. After his parents moved to Hangzhou, he was born on 1964 october 15 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Latest times he was participated in the first college entrance examination ,he mathematics exam only get 1 marks. In 1983, the second time to take the mathematics exam he only can get 19 marks.

In 1991, Jack initial contact with commercial activities, the founder Haibo agency. The first month, only earned 700 CNY of income and there up to 2,000 CNY. Therefore, he use resale Commodity trading way purchase from Guangzhou, Yiwu and other places, successfully feed a translation agency, also organized the first shop of ‘English Corner Hangzhou’.

In 2006 Ma Yuncheng as two sets of CCTV ‘Win in China,’ the judges, but also with China Yahoo and Alibaba is ‘Win in China’ to provide a platform official website. In 2013 May 10, on the tenth anniversary party announced Taobao, Alibaba Group CEO Jack Ma outgoing (CEO) post by Mr. Lu took over.

Besides on that, Jack Ma also venture failed 4 times. Why do i say so, this is because he at least twice denied a job because of appearance.Almost everyone will be impressed to see Jack,because he is like the alien ET chant. Now anyone, including Ma could to ridicule his appearance for fun. Before  20 years, Jack also worry about appearance. Retake his entrance exam three times, after the first entrance exam, his dream is to became a hotel waitress, also dream of became a police, all because of physical characteristics is rejected, it means ‘UGLY’!


Well, to say that Jack may through this process very early understanding of failure is an option. He was overcome the hardship in his business and today he was the owner of Alibaba.
