Since my group is really interested in Adolf Hitler, I also want to do the research about another famous person named Jack Ma. People who know Jack Ma, would mention a saying—he is a man, whose appearance is in the negative proportion to his talents. This is the tittle of his autobiography. In my impression, Jack Ma is a man, who has a deep cheekbone, curved hair, and naughty grins, with less than 160cm in height, and near 45 kg in weights—an appearance of a urchin. This is who Jack Ma is.
Among the well achieved, Jack Ma is the most typical representative for such a saying.
I also heard that he applied for the waiter in KFC when he was young, and he was the only rejected among the some 20 applicants, because of his inelegant appearance. It is said that Jack Ma likes handstand, and he once requested Alibaba’s newly employed staff to learn handstand. He has very powerful leadership skills, and his team always stands at his side, going through hardship, successfully building up China’s largest Ecommerce platform. Previously, little was indeed known about Jack Ma, and all above were all that we knew about Jack Ma. However, after the reading of these books, I became captivated by Jack Ma’s powerful personal charisma, and also his accomplishments. Nobody could believe that, a man, who took Gaokao twice and achieved “zero” twice in Mathematics, could stir up a big ripple in the realm of
Internet, becoming the legend in the IT enterprise culture.
He once landed from his employees to pay for their salaries at the start-up period of Alibaba. Without money to give his employees bonus, he prayed them to live “nine thousands years of old”, dreaming he would give each of his employees a car in the
2
days to come. Someone said he was liar, but he promised to them: we will succeed, and I will return you double what I owed you. Why would he insist on
