The INSANE story of Jack Ma, and the story of Alibaba. Today we know him as Jack Ma, but back in 1964 when he was born in China, he was called Yun Ma, and it was a foreign tourist who suggested he use the English name Jack Ma. However, Jack Ma's beginnings were extremely humble - so the story of how he built Alibaba from nothing and grew the company to be worth billions of dollars is incredible. In fact, Alibaba had the largest IPO in history when it began selling shares on the stock market. And Jack Ma's other company, The Ant Group (Alibaba's fintech sister company) was also due to have the largest IPO in history - however events in China meant that was abruptly cancelled. And instead people began to ask: where is Jack Ma? This is the crazy story of Jack Ma & the rise of Alibaba! (Aka the rise & fall of Jack Ma). We'll also be looking at how Alibaba became a conglomerate, including its initial funding from Goldman Sachs and Masayoshi Son (Softbank) along with their launch of Taobao and business battle with eBay. The story of Alibaba is pretty crazy, and I hope you enjoy.

Also I know my voiceover audio needs improving - I’m definitely working on that for future videos. 👍

I like his response: people think he is dumb, but he knows what he is doing.

My Dad told me a long time ago "it's not about what you accomplish, but what you overcome." I think about that almost everyday!

[TheJoelface]

I honestly find this story incredibly inspirational, and scary. Somebody that was so successful, that made good decisions, and the whole forest grump thing. .. makes a lot of sense. Somebody who had advisors, who he listened to, and he did what they said ....I dig it!!

Elon Musk knows how to sound intelligent to a certain audience, Jack Ma is just Jack Ma to the world. He comes from a truly modest background, his genius doesn't need to be proven.

It's ridiculous how much better your production quality is than most much larger channels

[bad_money]

"Woking from 9 to 9, 6 days a week is a blessing" is what he said. He actually forced his workers to do that. Because if you don't do that, someone else will. Then you are fired.

The moral of the story is: stay humble, stay true to your founding values. Don't be cocky.

[smooveayy]

A lot of businesses buy their entire stock from Alibaba then resell them at much higher prices. This is what will keep Alibaba in business for many years to come. The fact that you can start a small makeup business complete with customized branding and design your own products is amazing and many people in different countries use that feature. I had no idea Jack Ma had such a humble upbringing and was a failure at school. In the West it is always smart people who rise to the top. His story is encouraging.

[cowl]

The media gave me a bad perception of Jack Ma. I had no idea what a fantastic man he really is. My heart goes out for him and whatever happened to him

[Kinta]

getting rejected by a KFC is an achievement at it self.

Another documentary so soon? Thanks guys, but how do you sleep? When I see a new release from you, I actually get prepared with beers and snacks like it's a new release from a TV series or movie I've been waiting for. You're creating content that better than a lot of the shit that those mainstream production houses come out with. Keep it going guys, you're onto something very cool

[woodguy]

Quality of a company produced podcast coming from one man, keep up the content

[techtv]

Sometimes i watch your video's not because am interested in the topic but because it feels like a movie, your every video is better than the previous one, story, narration, just everything . Keep it up♥️💟!

[sel]

The amount of perseverance he had is insane, really does inspire to not easily give up. It really showed that with every set back he had, it powered him to work even harder.

Thank you for the amazing content, one of my favourite channels to watch. The amount of info compiled and edited to transition so smoothly is amazing! Hopefully this isn’t a trade off with rest 🥺

[KethavDoesStuff]

You're genuinely underrated. I hope you are more well known soon!

[tsiyu]

Great video. As a Chinese, I can understand why jack ma said he prefers to call it alibaba intelligence. What he was trying to say was that human being have soul, they know what and why they are currently doing. Artificial intelligence may much more efficient and smarter that human beings in predicting and decision making. But human being have desires and dreams, they are always fighting for what they want.

[radoslavk.]

The videos keep getting better and better

[phil]

I've just discovered your channel and It's crazy to think you're channel is not that big yet or didn't blow up cause the quality and the production of your content is phenomenal, it's like watching a high budget documentary. Keep up the great work tho.
