When a Failed English Teacher Bet Against Silicon Valley
What do you do when you've failed twice, can't code, have no political connections, and barely understand how computers work? If you're Jack Ma, you gather 18 friends in a cramped Hangzhou apartment and declare war on Silicon Valley. The year was 1999, and this former English teacher-who'd been rejected from Harvard ten times and couldn't even get hired at KFC-was about to build something extraordinary. Fast forward to 2014: Alibaba's $25 billion IPO would shatter records, briefly making it one of the world's most valuable companies. Today, it processes more transactions than Amazon and eBay combined, serving over 400 million shoppers annually. This isn't just a rags-to-riches tale. It's the story of how China transformed from "Made in China" to "Bought in China," with an unlikely hero standing at the center of the country's consumer revolution. Jack's unlikely journey began in Hangzhou, where a factory worker mother and photographer father named him "Yun" (cloud) and shared a passion for folk performances. As a teenager during China's opening in 1978, fourteen-year-old Jack began waking before dawn to bicycle to the Hangzhou Hotel, offering free West Lake tours to practice English with foreigners-a nine-year habit that would prove invaluable. An American tourist suggested the name "Jack," and though his grammar remained modest, English helped him "understand the world better" and later connect with global leaders. His first trip abroad in 1985, visiting Australia at the invitation of Ken Morley's family (whom he'd met as a teenager), shattered his worldview-China wasn't the richest country as he'd been taught.
