I never thought that I will be standing here talking to you like this because

last year our alibaba had a I peel it was a great I peel and people that you

are so smart

how could you make a company like back but before the ideal lot of people said

alibis a terrible model was a problem here and there the finder is terrible

yes that's right I'm a 100-percent mating China either my english by myself

and I tried to teach myself how to programming on computer I still don't

know what

why hide it works but that is not important

like all of you here we all have expectation for the future

we all worry about the future I didn't have a rich father

not from you know well educate i said i tried three times for university all

field for the last time i went to the teachers college which was considered

the third or fourth class of my city but i think that is the best university of a

hat

better than Harvard and Wharton

i apply for harbor for ten times all field they don't want to see me

you know terrible

and I i think that is a normal life right

and I i believe that DOM it was so difficult at that time I was so

frustrated because I taught in the University my pay was ten dollars mouth

was not easy but i believe that something something is waiting for me

there and I have to work hard to prove myself so that was the tough experience

and I never thought I was smart

nobody believed that I could be successful because everybody say well

this guy think differently think you're crazy you know they think about

something never work in 1994 discuss that i'm going to do something called

internet and 23 of them against it this is this is stupid idea

right we have never heard about internet and you know nothing about computer

why you wanted to the computer so what I agree with as i said i believe it

because i saw the computer 1994 when I went the USA

I think this thing could be big but I never thought it would be that big like

today honestly

people say you're smart do you have a big vision 1994 since you saw internet

that was not true

I just want to find a job because i could not find a good job so I do myself

so that is the history that's the thing

and now after for 16 years we have a lot of alibaba group we have a team or group

we have at a ball groupware for Ali pay and people say how you make it

why this make it why people cannot find opportunities you can find opportunities

and I think people

same here today Jack where is the opportunity

I don't have a job I don't have this i don't have that I remember 20 years ago

ice I hate a bill gates I say he took all the job you know these are such a

great

larry page bill gates and every success people they did a good and why I don't

have this chance

the same question like you and later I calm down myself

and luckily I wing I tell you unlucky to know a lot of famous people

Bill Gates Warren Buffet the jack welch Larry Page marks a goober

I know all of that i would like to share with you that those people

the difference between those people and other people they are always optimistic

for the future

they never complain they always tried to solve the problems of the others and I

think

where is the opportunity the opportunity like I always lies in the place where

people complain

some people said their complaint you think if i can solve that complaint

that's the opportunity

that's what i did and i think 1994-1995 so many people in China want to sell

things abroad but there's no place because the big business can go to the

trade fair los vegas fair and Germany fair small business they don't have

opportunity so they completely we want to go the trade shows but they cannot

get these are they don't have money they have a relationship so I think if

internet can help these small business

it will be great but nobody would have believed it

why internet can help

well I said if if something everybody believe it

everybody loved it forget about that's not your opportunity because where

everybody agrees

why this opportunity should be yours because a lot of people don't agree with

it and you think this is good

think carefully and find a group of people working together and making sure

the people working with you together to leave the dreams whether investors

believe this or not whether your friends believe it or not whether your parents

believe it or not that's not important

you believe it your team believe it and work day

night on this that's all the things happens right

my investor denying that after 10 years they invested us this - don't know what

I'm doing

honestly people say why you jack you have such so many great investors yet

they are great because they believe Jack McCann do something but what exactly is

doing

they probably don't understand but we have to know we know the only thing I

tell you guys for the first three years

we do not have the even one dollar revenue from our business but why it

keeps on going ahead

going forward because i received lots of email of thanks from the customers they

say this is such a great thing if you can keep on doing that we cannot pay you

but this thing helping us if you keep on helping us one day you will be

successful and I believe this

and I want people hear that let you know that we are at the best of time of this

century the first technology revolution the steam the water right in the UK very

successful after 50 years

the second technology revolution is called energy revolution electricity

after 50 years electricity was funded business booming

the Internet has only for two years the next to 30 years in the best time for us

for our young people

we are all lucky we are only you only like 20 30 years old

the next 30 years the best time the last 20 years is the time i called

information technology that's the i.t i.t is to make you make the big company

getting bigger and stronger and I t is to make yourself stronger it's-- tried

to get something for you

but now we are entering into the new . which I call the data technology the

date technology is due totally opposite i.t i.t

is I have you don't have DTS you have it

I don't have it I don't have to have it dt is about sharing details meticulous

possibility

dt is about a passion for the future

so we are coming into the next 30 years of data technologies . which your

parents mean like it with your friends may not like it but if you believe the

next 30 years is the one for . for us

and by the way at the det . everybody is the same because we are

start from the scene line nobody is the expert of TT

there are a lot of expert of IT they may be in trouble

so what I want to see the best the best assets you have is that you are young

don't complain let the other people complained those people complained those

people who still and do not always say while I don't have to think about how

you can make things different

use your own brain to think lastly i want to show you

I learned my English I learned how to think use my own brain when i was young

i went to Hangzhou Western Lake you know we have a Western Lake

there's a hotel many foreign visitors visit there and i went there every

morning five crop to practice my English the foreign visitors come

I practice my English I don't know why at that time but i found everything

the foreign visitors told me are so different from the things my parents

told me my teacher told me and the newspaper read so things then I think

everything use my own brain to think about it is that true is that

opportunity site is there anything i can do that make the difference

think about this and then when you think about this study do it

I saw a lot of people young people have a fantastic ideas every evening

but in the morning they go to the office thing again make the move

make the action to everybody to any person tomorrow is a new and believe one

thing that is also another last advice i want to give you

they have to work very hard right either work for the others or work for yourself

and i choose the way working my for myself that working for myself

that means working for the society if you really want to work for yourself

think about the others that they d t time making sure you help others because

only when the other half other people successful when the other people happy

you'll be successful you will be happy thank you very much
