In the year 1999, with the help of more than a dozen friends who pooled
their resources - some $60,000 - Jack Ma, founded Alibaba, a
business-to-business online platform. No one at that time would have thought a
small start-up would initiate the world’s largest initial public offering (IPO)
on Wall Street, earning higher profits than those of interational giants like
Amazon.com and eBay combined.
1999年，數位朋友集資6萬美元，幫助馬雲創建瞭阿裡巴巴——一個B2B的在線交易平臺。當時，沒有人會想到這傢剛起步的小公司會在華爾街上市，並且融資額超過亞馬遜，eBay等國際巨頭，創下美國市場最大規模IPO紀錄。

backwater, were realized last week.
馬雲的無畏抱負在中國數字化落後的年代產生，上周終於得以實現。

(阿裡巴巴)首次公開募股，股指就達到250億美元，使馬雲一躍成為中國首富。
Charismatic and energetic, Ma is nicknamed “Crazy Jack Ma” and is seen as
China’s version of Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, according to AP. And his story of
starting an empire from scratch already makes him an inspiration to millions
across China.
馬雲的超凡魅力和活力，被美聯社昵稱為“瘋狂的傑克?馬”，將其視為中國的喬佈斯或比爾?蓋茨。而他白手起傢創建電商帝國的故事也早已激勵瞭數百萬中國人二手廚具收購。
Ma isn’t just popular because of his wealth. He also possesses
communication skills that allow him to communicate with audiences from a wide
variety of cultural contexts through roadshows and TV interviews.

profound visionary.

online businesses, was born in his apartment.
