In just a decade and half Jack Ma, a man from modest beginnings who started out as an English teacher, founded and built Alibaba into one of the world’s largest companies, an e-commerce empire on which hundreds of millions of Chinese consumers depend. Alibaba’s $25 billion IPO in 2014 was the largest global IPO ever. A Rockefeller of his age who is courted by CEOs and Presidents around the world, Jack is an icon for China’s booming private sector and the gatekeeper to hundreds of millions of middle class consumers.
Duncan Clark first met Jack in 1999 in the small apartment where Jack founded Alibaba. Granted unprecedented access to a wealth of new material including exclusive interviews, Clark draws on his own experience as an early advisor to Alibaba and two decades in China chronicling the Internet’s impact on the country to create an authoritative, compelling narrative account of Alibaba’s rise.
How did Jack overcome his humble origins and early failures to achieve massive success with Alibaba? How did he outsmart rival entrepreneurs from China and Silicon Valley? Can Alibaba maintain its 80% market share? As it forges ahead into finance and entertainment, are there limits to Alibaba’s ambitions? How does the Chinese government view its rise? Will Alibaba expand further overseas, including in the U.S.?
Clark tells Alibaba’s tale in the context of China’s momentous economic and social changes, illuminating an unlikely corporate titan as never before.

評分##書至五分之一處馬雲剛摸到鍵盤第一次感受Internet,三分之一寫完還沒創建阿裏巴巴,到一半纔創建淘寶,執筆細書時代環境,細且零碎,寫阿裏巴巴的perspective最多三星,拿PR視角的內容當素材用堪比宣傳冊。3721、雅虎以及後麵轉移支付寶,把馬雲的精明寫的很生動,雅虎郵件門的記錄加一顆星,對比看馬雲的當下跟曾經,跟Amazon Unbound對著看尤其精彩:到底什麼態度纔能真正守住自己的財富。找大哥當打手,拿用戶的權益迴報大哥;還是跟力求約束大哥的能力。不仗大哥的勢力雖然打江山難度增加,可守江山時不至於當看門人的尷尬。無論怎樣,Jack Ma的人生有很多值得學習的地方,筆友一傢都很可愛,作者在國內20幾年沒白呆,要寫3721大概會更有意思些。
評分##作者沒有過多的調侃賣乖,還算寫實

評分##這本書太棒瞭,讓人一讀就放不下,可惜拖到現在纔讀。作者在中國生活瞭很多年,能講中文,很早就認識馬雲,也基本見證瞭中國互聯網的崛起,所以通過這本書也可以迴顧中國互聯網的早期曆史。由於作者對互聯網和金融市場的瞭解,這本書的脈絡非常清楚,再加上他對中國包括杭州的熟悉,讀來非常有親切感,在我讀過的幾本互聯網傳記中是最好的一本。現在迴頭來看,最後一章的題目頗有預言感,其提到的馬雲在文體娛樂領域的諸多投資也確實沒有內在邏輯。
