“Without internet, there would have been no Jack Ma, and no Alibaba or Taobao.”

Forget about your competitors, just focus on your customers.

I don’t want people to have deep pockets but shallow minds.

If you don’t give up, you still have a chance. Giving up is the greatest failure.

The most unreliable thing in this world is human relationships.

If we are a good team and know what we want to do, one of us can defeat ten of them.

Our philosophy is, using internet technology, we can make every company become Amazon.

Give everyone the power to share anything with anyone.

WWW? Nice toy, but what a waste of time.

I hate writing about personal stuff. I don’t have a Facebook page. I don’t use my Twitter account. I am familiar with both, but I don’t use them.
