Molly, the first aristocrat of Ma Yun: Why did you help Ma Yun buy a lakeside garden, which later became the birthplace of Ali?

With the advent of the information age, the wealth that was firmly occupied by physical businesses has been shared by the information industry. The most intuitive embodiment is that the position of the richest man in China has been occupied by "Erma" in recent years. Who is "Ermayina"? Ma Yun, who represents Ali, and Ma Hua Teng, who represents Tencent, firmly occupy the top two in the wealth list.

Compared with Ma Hua Teng, Ma Yun's entrepreneurial experience is undoubtedly more ups and downs, more romantic and more legendary.

Ma Yun comes from an ordinary family. Like many people when they were young, he was poor in grades, mischievous and curious about new things. Once, my father bought a radio. At that time, radios were still a rarity. Ma Yun is very happy. He listens to English on the radio every day, and soon he discovers his talent for learning English.

Later, Ma Yun was transferred to Hangzhou, a famous big city in China, which is very livable. Many foreigners will come to Hangzhou to travel and work. In his early years, Ma Yun had many ideas. When he sees many foreigners near the West Lake, he often talks with others, hoping to improve his oral English and listening.

By chance, Ma Yun happened to meet the Molly family who were visiting China. Ma Yun copied his broken English to talk to Molly's child David Molly. Ma Yun and David are about the same age. They leaned against the lake and had a long talk. After a while, they became very good friends.

David's father Ken Molly also knows Ma Yun. Ken is a very enthusiastic person. He often encourages Ma Yun to write more letters, actively helps Ma Yun to correct his grammar and vocabulary mistakes and help him improve his English. Later, after Molly's family returned to Australia, Ma Yun still kept in touch with David by letter. With a pen pal like Molly's, Ma Yun's English is naturally excellent.

In the face of the college entrance examination, poor math scores held him back, which prevented Ma Yun from being admitted to his favorite university, but the Molly family always encouraged Ma Yun to continue his studies. With the support of distant friends, Ma Yun took the college entrance examination three times in a row and was finally admitted to Hangzhou Normal University. After learning that Ma Yun was admitted to the university, Molly's family also invited Ma Yun to visit Australia.

But this stumped Ma Yun. After all, Ma Yunjia is not particularly rich. If you want to go abroad, you have to face the double difficulties of air tickets and visas. However, the desire to go abroad has been stimulating Ma Yun. In the end, he collected $65,438+000 and worked hard to complete the certification. Ma Yun was very excited when he stepped on the plane. He felt that he was about to face a brand-new life.

In Australia, Ma Yun saw customs and cultural landscapes completely different from those in China, and his thoughts changed forever. After returning to China, the Molly family continued to support Ma Yun. They spend about $400 every year as a grant to improve Ma Yun's living conditions during his college years. At that time, $400 was a good fortune.

Later, Ma Yun graduated, and his then girlfriend Zhang Ying came to the point of talking about marriage. Marriage needs a house. Where did Ma Yun, who is very young, get a house? After learning of Ma Yun's embarrassment, Ken Molly transferred 22,000 euros to Ma Yun with a wave of his hand, which directly solved the problem of Ma Yun's marriage room.

Ma Yun took the money to buy his first house, Lakeside Garden, and used it as his starting base. Just to pay the living expenses and buy a house. Molly is the first aristocrat on Ma Yun's life path, not to mention his life, but at least half of his life is inseparable from Molly.

Of course, Jack Ma, who has become the richest man in China, has never forgotten Molly's strong support for Jack Ma. He donated a huge sum of money as a scholarship to an Australian university and named the award after Ma Yun and Molly. Then he set up Alibaba headquarters in Molly's hometown Melbourne to promote local economic development.

Throughout the life of these successful rich people, we will find that their success depends on their efforts and opportunities. If you can't seize the opportunity with hard work, it is still difficult to make great achievements; There are opportunities but no corresponding strength, so no matter how many opportunities, you can't catch them.
