In just a decade and half Jack Ma, a man from modest beginnings who started out as an English teacher, founded and built Alibaba into one of the world’s largest companies, an e-commerce empire on which hundreds of millions of Chinese consumers depend. Alibaba’s $25 billion IPO in 2014 was the largest global IPO ever. A Rockefeller of his age who is courted by CEOs and Presidents around the world, Jack is an icon for China’s booming private sector and the gatekeeper to hundreds of millions of middle class consumers.
Duncan Clark first met Jack in 1999 in the small apartment where Jack founded Alibaba. Granted unprecedented access to a wealth of new material including exclusive interviews, Clark draws on his own experience as an early advisor to Alibaba and two decades in China chronicling the Internet’s impact on the country to create an authoritative, compelling narrative account of Alibaba’s rise.
How did Jack overcome his humble origins and early failures to achieve massive success with Alibaba? How did he outsmart rival entrepreneurs from China and Silicon Valley? Can Alibaba maintain its 80% market share? As it forges ahead into finance and entertainment, are there limits to Alibaba’s ambitions? How does the Chinese government view its rise? Will Alibaba expand further overseas, including in the U.S.?
Clark tells Alibaba’s tale in the context of China’s momentous economic and social changes, illuminating an unlikely corporate titan as never before.
##还不错的书 看到了成功背后的大起大落 以及永不言败坚定的信念 勇气 以及擅长忽悠的重要性
评分##Nature abhors a vacuum and in China the Internet is filling the voids created by a legacy of state ownership and state planning.
评分##这本书太棒了,让人一读就放不下,可惜拖到现在才读。作者在中国生活了很多年,能讲中文,很早就认识马云,也基本见证了中国互联网的崛起,所以通过这本书也可以回顾中国互联网的早期历史。由于作者对互联网和金融市场的了解,这本书的脉络非常清楚,再加上他对中国包括杭州的熟悉,读来非常有亲切感,在我读过的几本互联网传记中是最好的一本。现在回头来看,最后一章的题目颇有预言感,其提到的马云在文体娱乐领域的诸多投资也确实没有内在逻辑。
评分##不看了
评分##快读完这本书时,我意识到阿里巴巴和马云,除了是中国的故事,互联网的故事,还是一个未完成的故事,这才是有意思的地方。这本书是一个老外看中国互联网的视角,估计会有若干部分在中文版里被删节。
评分##他的成功是必然
评分##最触动我是马云的早年照片……
评分##作者没有过多的调侃卖乖,还算写实
