Alibaba is no longer a David. It is a Goliath. And as a Goliath it will face an entirely new set of challenges.

Cash has disappeared so quickly from Chinese cities that it even “disrupted” crime. In March 2017, a pair of Chinese cousins made headlines with a hapless string of robberies. The pair had traveled to Hangzhou, a wealthy city and home to Alibaba, with the goal of making a couple of lucrative scores and then skipping town. Armed with two knives, the cousins robbed three consecutive convenience stores only to find that the owners had almost no cash to hand over—virtually all their customers were now paying directly with their phones. Their crime spree netted them around $125 each—not even enough to cover their travel to and from Hangzhou—when police picked them up. Local media reported rumors that upon arrest one of the brothers cried out, “How is there no cash left in Hangzhou?

In 2013, Alibaba’s money fund Yu’e Bao (“leftover treasure”) was launched and marketed to users of Alipay. They then expanded into banking in 2015, launching MyBank during the summer and, in an audacious move, opened their bank capabilities to other Chinese banks through an open marketplace of apps and APIs.

Help young people. Help small guys. Because small guys will be big. Young people will have the seeds you bury in their minds, and when they grow up, they will change the world.” – Jack Ma

Maturity has never been about age, built or possession: It is rather about having the capacity to conceal or reveal your feelings and thoughts in pursuit of positive targets; not on the whims of mundane impulses or spur of the moment.

The short-termism among US policymakers has meant that the gains from globalization have been misallocated in a way that frustrated millions of Americans and spurred the populist reaction witnessed in 2016. As Alibaba founder Jack Ma pointed out at the Economic Forum in 2017, by choosing to spend $14.2 trillion fighting thirteen wars over three decades, rather than investing in America’s infrastructure, industry, and jobs, policymakers misallocated the wins from globalization. What was clear is that even thirty years ago, industrial jobs in the United States were already on the decline and exposing the economy to greater competition inherent in open international trade, further harming the American worker. The outcome was a missed opportunity to distribute the gains of globalization more widely (and in particular to America’s Rust Belt) and to fund a longer-term infrastructure investment strategy to galvanize the US economy.

The same thing, notes Brynjolfsson, happened 120 years ago, in the Second Industrial Revolution, when electrification—the supernova of its day—was introduced. Old factories did not just have to be electrified to achieve the productivity boosts; they had to be redesigned, along with all business processes. It took thirty years for one generation of managers and workers to retire and for a new generation to emerge to get the full productivity benefits of that new power source. A December 2015 study by the McKinsey Global Institute on American industry found a “considerable gap between the most digitized sectors and the rest of the economy over time and [found] that despite a massive rush of adoption, most sectors have barely closed that gap over the past decade … Because the less digitized sectors are some of the largest in terms of GDP contribution and employment, we [found] that the US economy as a whole is only reaching 18 percent of its digital potential … The United States will need to adapt its institutions and training pathways to help workers acquire relevant skills and navigate this period of transition and churn.” The supernova is a new power source, and it will take some time for society to reconfigure itself to absorb its full potential. As that happens, I believe that Brynjolfsson will be proved right and we will start to see the benefits—a broad range of new discoveries around health, learning, urban planning, transportation, innovation, and commerce—that will drive growth. That debate is for economists, though, and beyond the scope of this book, but I will be eager to see how it plays out. What is absolutely clear right now is that while the supernova may not have made our economies measurably more productive yet, it is clearly making all forms of technology, and therefore individuals, companies, ideas, machines, and groups, more powerful—more able to shape the world around them in unprecedented ways with less effort than ever before. If you want to be a maker, a starter-upper, an inventor, or an innovator, this is your time. By leveraging the supernova you can do so much more now with so little.

- […] Va voi spune simplu ca trebuie sa traiti numai pentru ca viata e frumoasa in sine. Nu exista in lume decat un singur lucru foarte grav si de nevindecat: moartea! Restul poate si trebuie vindecat, chiar si dragostea cea mai adevarata si infocata, ca de exemplu, cea pe care o traiti voi acum! D’Assas scutura din cap cu o violenta disperata. -Imi vorbiti asa pentru ca voi n-ati iubit niciodata! zise el. Saint-Germain surase… -Ce numiti voi iubire? zise el cu o gravitate si mai pregnanta. Ascultati-ma bine. Poate ma veti intelege, pentru ca sunteti unul din sufletele cele mai generoase pe care le-am intalnit. Pentru umanitate in ansamblul sau, iubirea e o forma de egoism. Un barbat iubeste o femeie. Ceea ce vrea sa insemne ca o doreste; in felul asta doreste posesia; vrea neaparat ca acea femeie sa-i apartina in exclusivitate. Daca femeia e venala, o cumpara ca pe o statuie sau orice alt obiect de lux. Daca e onesta, se straduieste sa-i demonstreze ca trebuie sa-i apartina numai lui, si de buna voie. Una peste alta, vrea sa puna mana pe ea. E o opera de cucerire in felul barbarilor din antichitate. Dovada: chinurile iubirii se micsoreaza, disparand aproape cu totul daca femeia vizata nu se da nimanui. Ceea ce se cheama gelozie nu-i decat expresia acestui egoism de o factura deosebita… Barbatul cauta deci mai ales sa-si satisfaca propriul sau apetit de cuceritor si de proprietar atunci cand afirma ca iubeste. Iubirea, asta inseamna: vreau. Vreau acest obiect: bronz, marmura sau femeie. Pentru mine, numai pentru mine! Asa vreau eu. Si atunci spun ca o iubesc! Cat imi e de mila!... -Asa deci, murmura d’Assas, exista si o alta forma de iubire!... -Da, iubirea exista! E adevarat. E mai pretioasa decat comorile lui Ali-Baba! Dar, ma rog, ea exista. Putini barbati o cunosc. Este aproape la fel de greu de gasit un barbat care iubeste, pe cat e de greu de gasit o femeie care sa merite a fi iubita. Dar se mai intampla! -Si cum e dragostea asta de care vorbiti? intreba cavalerul. -Iubirea aceasta, zise atunci contele, este forma cea mai perfecta a devotamentului, adica tocmai contrariul a ceea ce vulgul considera a fi iubire. A iubi o femeie nu inseamna decat a dori cu ardoare fericirea ei, si nu fericirea ta. Intelegeti ce vreau sa spun? -Da… sau cel putin cred ca da, zise d’Assas. -Iubesc o femeie. Iata ce inteleg prin asta: daca aceasta femeie ma cheama in ajutor, voi fi in stare si de muncile lui Hercule, voi face sa tremure si cerul si pamantul ca sa-i asigur fericirea… dar daca ea se indeparteaza de mine… daca simpatia ei se indreapta spre un altul… -Ei bine? -Ei bine, pentru ca o iubesc… pentru ca am consimtit sa-i asigur fericirea, nu numai ca nu voi fi un obstacol intre ea si barbatul alea… dar chiar ma voi bucura vazand ca a gasit fara mine acea fericire pe care pretindeam ca i-o aduc. -Ingrozitoare teorie! -Spuneti ca e ingrozitoare pentru ca nu ati gustat farmecul nesfarsit al devotamentului pur, al sacrificiului care nu asteapta recompensa… Eu, care am cunoscut toate formele iubirii, de la gelozia care nutreste ganduri criminale pana la disperarea ce naste ganduri de sinucidere, va spun ca numai in devotement e iubire!... D’Assas, visator, asculta cuvintele lui Saint-Germain care, putin cate putin, ii alinau durerea si o faceau mai usor de suportat. Poate contele nu avea alt scop decat acela de a-si expune teoria sa cu privire la iubire. Cavalerul, cum o spusese si Saint-Germain, era cu adevarat un suflet generous. Incepuse sa intrezareasca posibilitatea de a se devota fericirii Jeannei; incetul cu incetul ideea sinuciderii incepea sa piarda teren. Caci cuvintele contelui incolteau si dadeau roade. “Un singur lucru e nevindecabil: moartea!” Caci murind, nu se condamna singur sa nu o mai vada pe Jeanne?

This fall, Alibaba Group Holdings will go public on the New York Stock Exchange, and it could raise $20 billion, according to Bloomberg News, making it the largest stock offering in U.S.

At the end of 1996, the five most valuable companies in the world were General Electric, Royal Dutch Shell, the Coca-Cola Company, NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone), and ExxonMobil—traditional industrial and consumer companies that relied on massive economies of scale and decades of branding to drive their value. Just twenty-one years later, in the fourth quarter of 2017, the list looked very different: Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Facebook. That’s a remarkable shift. Indeed, while Apple and Microsoft were already prominent companies at the end of 1996, Amazon was still a privately held start-up, Larry Page and Sergey Brin were still a pair of graduate students at Stanford who were two years away from founding Google, and Mark Zuckerberg was still looking forward to his bar mitzvah. So what happened? The Networked Age happened, that’s what. Technology now connects all of us in ways that were unthinkable to our ancestors. Over two billion people now carry smartphones (many of them made by Apple, or using Google’s Android operating system) that keep them constantly connected to the global network of everything. At any time, those people can find almost any information in the world (Google), buy almost any product in the world (Amazon/ Alibaba), or communicate with almost any other human in the world (Facebook/ WhatsApp/ Instagram/ WeChat). In this highly connected world, more companies than ever are able to tap into network effects to generate outsize growth and profits.

But Taobao’s success is not explained by the xiaoer alone. The site works because it succeeds in putting the customer first, bringing the vibrancy of China’s street markets to the experience of shopping online.

Thus began the story of Tencent’s controversial origins – being a copycat. Just as many of China’s largest internet companies started out by imitating Western peers – Sohu from Yahoo, Baidu from Google, Weibo from Twitter, Alibaba from eBay – Tencent’s first hit came from emulating ICQ.

In Alibaba’s early days, he encouraged us to spend more time executing, rather than having endless meetings where we simply talked about executing.

Xiaomi’s engagement with its users is exemplary in this respect not just because it listens to what they say, but because of the way it acts immediately on the feedback it receives.

When it comes to innovation, foreign companies can study how local enterprises constantly update and augment their products and capabilities, making them capable of penetrating and taking over entire high-technology sectors from the bottom up, as Huawei has done.

In 2013, Hertz Global Rental took a 20 percent stake in China’s biggest car-rental firm, privately owned China Auto Rental. Overnight, the U.S. company’s presence in China expanded from 5 outlets to 700. China Auto Rental got access to Hertz’s customer referrals, one of the main sources of business for car rentals. This sector will only grow in importance as China’s car-rental market grows from $4 billion to $20 billion—equaling America’s.

It would be three months before eBay woke up to the threat of Alipay. In January 2004, PayPal assembled a task force in San Jose to pick up on EachNet’s earlier unsuccessful efforts to devise an escrow solution. In the United States, eBay had shelled out $1.4 billion to buy PayPal in 2002. But it was slow to integrate the company and roll it out to China. To be fair to PayPal, regulatory obstacles in China were an important factor in the delay: The country’s banking sector is closely guarded

You need the right people with you, not the best people.” – Jack Ma

Alibaba has a very good PR team, very capable. Our only secret is to always tell the truth. No matter wherever or whenever, say what you’re thinking. Don’t say things that the media loves to hear or deceive them in order to cater to them. Tell a lie now, and you’ll be forced to keep it going even as you forget parts of it. This will only cause lots of pain. People like honesty. Not many people, however, will tell the truth at any time. Do so and you’ll differ from others.

Alibaba is worth more than Facebook.

One factor in his decision was a sense of giving it a try. Ma has always felt that one does not measure success just by the results; instead, he feels that the experience of doing something is in itself a kind of success. “You go out and charge around…if it doesn’t work, you can always bow out. But if you just think over thousands of things at night and in the morning keep on walking the same old path, you never get anywhere. You don’t grow. You might as well try.” Ma has often commented on the fact that he is praised less for his acumen than for his courage.

Alibaba pulveriza los récords de comercio 'online' el Día del Soltero

Alibaba reported record sales of $9.3 billion on “ Singles Day”, easily beating last year’s figure of $5.8 billion. Singles Day is by far the biggest day of the year for online retailers. Jack Ma, boss of the e-commerce giant, said that 275m packages would be shipped from orders made on November 11th. The day was originally dedicated to Chinese singletons but has recently morphed into a frenzy of consumerism.

Alibaba took its IPO to investors in a roadshow, having priced the offering at between $60 and $66 a share. This could value the Chinese e-commerce firm at around $160 billion when it lists in New York, which is close to Amazon’s current market valuation. With reports that its order book is already full, Alibaba is likely to raise $20 billion or more on its stockmarket debut, and possibly be the most lucrative IPO ever.
