Ma Yun is an excellent manager. Ma Yun emphasizes the management of the company with the concept of "Oriental wisdom and western management" and pays attention to team spirit. He has always stressed that in Alibaba, he always adheres to the principle of "customers first, employees second and shareholders third".
Ma Yun was refused a position by KFC because of his looks. Once, Ma Yun had a well-thought-out plan and went to KFC, the world's top 500 company, for an interview with his resume. On the day of the interview, a total of 25 people were interviewed, and only Ma Yun was rejected, which made people laugh and cry, because Ma Yun's appearance was not very good and he was not suitable for this job.
So I was rejected directly, and I didn't know how Ma Yun felt at that time, so Ma Yun became a person who believed in himself, so that everyone didn't care about his appearance and admired himself. Later, he really succeeded.
Ma Yun failed in several ventures, and Haibo translation agency founded by Ma Yun didn't make any money. When I first started being Ali, no one believed me and said he couldn't. Start to be Taobao Lang, and get paid to buy small commodities. It is normal for some people to make irresponsible remarks on the road to entrepreneurship. The most important thing is to be psychologically strong so as not to be affected. Ma Yun is such a person.
Ma Yun founded translation agency when he was an English teacher in Hangzhou. Translation agency didn't make any money for a long time. In order to make a living, Ma Yun had to carry a sack to Yiwu to wholesale socks and flowers, and spent more than a year selling medicine. It was really not easy to support translation agency with the money he earned.
