Ma Yun Warned Entrepreneurs: Judge The Future And Not Listen To Economists.

Ma Yun, chairman of Alibaba group, attended the general meeting of Beijing Zhejiang chamber of Commerce last weekend. In addition to being appointed honorary chairman, Ma Yun also delivered a speech at the conference about the future trend of Internet and business trend.

Ma Yun said at the meeting that entrepreneurs could not listen to economists in the future. The prophet of the Spring River Plumbing duck, the entrepreneur can feel the changes of the times and the economic changes. If we go to the economist's prediction at this time, the disaster will be great.

"Economists are the conclusion of yesterday, the conclusion of the data, the business model that we find out, and the future. But relying on that is not enough, entrepreneurs' intuition, entrepreneurs' judgement of future market and grasp of opportunities, we Zheshang always know that only change can have our chance. Ma Yun said.

Turning to the conclusion of 2014, Ma Yun thought the pressure was very large. Because everyone used to say that Alibaba is wrong, that is not right, but today we all say Ali is very good. When everything seems to be omnipotent, it is not as good as everyone imagined.

"Others say you are not good, you are very good, actually you do not worry, others say you are very good, actually you are not so good time is actually the beginning of the real disaster." Ma Yun concluded.

The following is a record of Ma Yun's speech.

Ma Yun: Dear Zhejiang businessmen, Hello, first of all, congratulations to the Zhejiang chamber of Commerce in Beijing on the emergence of a new leading body and congratulations on Shen Guojun's re election as president. I think this is not an honor, this is a responsibility, especially in today's situation, acting as president of the chamber of commerce is a great responsibility. Tomorrow is also the establishment of Shanghai Zhejiang chamber of Commerce. Guo Guangchang came back to be president. I feel that the two are taking the heavy burden at this moment. Under such a uncertain economic situation, I would like to respect and admire the bravery of Zhejiang businessmen. By the end of the new year, I hope to have this opportunity and thank you for having this opportunity to share with you the experience of one year.

I believe many people say that this year is not easy, but it is not easy every year. We businessmen have never been easy. At this time of year, I am adjusting my mindset and adjusting my thinking to the future thinking of the enterprise in the next few years. So everyone says that you are good this year. Your 2014 is good. Actually, in 2014, I was also very stressed. So far, especially now, I am under more pressure. Because everyone used to say that Alibaba is wrong, that is not right, this is not good, that is not good, actually I know that I am better than everyone imagined, and today we all say that you are very good, seems to be omnipotent, we ourselves feel that we can do a lot of things, in fact, we are not as good as everyone imagined, in fact, our hearts become more and more empty. Others say you are not good, you are very good, actually you do not worry, others say you are very good, actually you are not so good time is actually the beginning of a real disaster.

Every one of us is doing business. Every family has a hard nut to crack. Every enterprise has its own difficulties. The surrounding environment is also undergoing new changes. We are all participating in the long-term growth and future development of China's economy. We are bearing a new language that we are not familiar with. It is called "economic normality". We do not know how long this normal situation will be, and we do not know whether we can adapt to it. But I believe there is a point that our country will pass away, our time will get better and better, and business will be more and more difficult today. But ten years later, we will have a fact that enterprises will become better and better. More and more successful businesses will have more and more rich people. If you close the key, then it will depend on how big you are. A good business is designed for a bad era. A good mode must be to prevent the bad times from coming. Do not sigh yesterday, lost the good times, but firmly believe that every day is not so easy, and not easy to be an opportunity. Today's easy is not easy for everyone, not just for you. So you can only adjust yourself and change yourself on the same running line. None of us has the ability to change the times. None of us has the ability to change others. We only have the ability and responsibility to change ourselves.

Zhejiang businessmen is a very great business group. Just now, President Shen said very simply in his speech. In fact, the great strength of Zhejiang businessmen is diligence, courage and opportunity. We have nothing to do with Zhejiang businessmen. Unlike other provinces, we have coal and mines, and all kinds of natural underground resources. We Zheshang just have the market, because we have nothing. We have hardworking, courageous, courage and spirit. We can always find our opportunities everywhere in the world.

The future is also true. The real difficulties we face today are not the future predicted by economists. I am very respectful to economists. But I think our entrepreneurs can not listen to economists in the future. The prophets of Spring River Plumbing duck, our business owners can feel the changes of the times and the economic changes. If you listen to the economists' forecasts at this time, you will have a great calamity.

So a question I felt in the past few years is that when entrepreneurs are waiting to hear the economists predict the future, they basically show that our entrepreneurs have lost their self-confidence. Economists are the conclusion of the past, the business models identified after the summary of the data, and then to predict the future. But relying on that is not enough. Entrepreneurs' intuition, entrepreneurs' judgement of future market and grasp of opportunities, we Zheshang always know that only change can have our opportunities and opportunities without change. This is a changing era.

In addition, I think that all of our Zhejiang businessmen should have established their own organizations. It is time to cultivate our business culture and make our customers successful. It should make our employees happy and enable them to make money. This is the key element for any enterprise to succeed in the next ten years. I used to think that there are three kinds of businessmen: businessmen, businessmen and entrepreneurs. Businessmen only do well if they have money. Businessmen do something for nothing, know how to choose, entrepreneurs take the world as their mission, consider how to improve the society, how to help enterprises, and how to make their employees happy. I feel that all of us today have to think about a problem. If my organization meets every disaster, do you have the right organization, do you invest enough energy in your corporate culture, do you want your customers to succeed or not to make your employees happy?

Recently, I often hear a saying that China will lose the competitiveness of the whole economy, because the high cost of labor has made our country lose competitiveness. The result of our efforts is to let employees earn money. The result of our efforts is to raise the price of labor in China's ordinary people. Only when labor prices rise, can we invest in education and culture, and our children are strong and strong, and this nation will grow. I think the rise in labor prices is a trend. This is also the result of our efforts. All we have to think about is how we do for others, for others, for our customers, for the society. This is not a tall building. This is what we all need to think about, the times have changed. When you know how to make money, others also know that what you have to do is what others do not want to do, so that we will have our chance today.

In addition, I think innovation must be the future. In the future, if you want to succeed, you must innovate. Innovation is a mechanism. Innovation is a kind of culture, and innovation is to let young people innovate. Innovation is not necessarily those of us. I am very glad to see that Zhejiang businessmen are very young. Innovation is not to think about how I will win tomorrow. In fact, I think every one of us has to understand that 30 years of age should do with others, 40 years old for their own work, 50 years old must do for others. If you get to 50 today, you have to consider who can grasp the future. You don't have much chance. All of us have to think about doing something for others. Every era has the opportunity of every era. Everyone has his own opportunities all his life. So some people say that I have no chance. In fact, I don't really believe that a person has no chance in his life. Anyone in any era has such an opportunity. I don't believe in so-called talent. If you have talent, you will be found. It's just that some people have seized the opportunity. Some people have made the opportunity to make a disaster. Some people have taken disaster as an opportunity, and more people have come to the door when disaster and opportunity come to you.

So I think, businessman The scientists of this era are scientists of the society. These businessmen in China are improving the business mechanism of China. I feel that I am honored to be a businessman. I also feel that I am proud and proud of all of you for the healthy development of Chinese society, the accumulation of wealth and the undertaking of responsibilities.

The next 10 years are change The era of business is the real era of business. What the Internet brings to you is not impact but opportunity. If you resist, you may be hit, and the result will be very bad. If you know how to grasp it, if you understand it, Internet The spirit of Internet thinking. What is the Internet thinking, that is, taking ourselves as the center, becoming others as the center and serving as the experience, opening, transparently, sharing and taking responsibility is the thinking of the future Internet. I hope everyone here has to think about a problem. There will be great changes in the next 10 or 20 years. These changes are benign changes and good intentions. While we are cheering the industrial revolution to bring great opportunities to the human society, the industrial revolution is the last revolution, bringing the train, bringing the steam engine and bringing about social changes. We cheer, but let us not forget that the industrial revolution has also brought impact to mankind, the most typical of which is the first World War and the Second World War. And this change of the Internet is to increase human communication, the ideal of values, and the sharing and understanding of all aspects of the business community. We should seize this opportunity to change ourselves and adapt to the future.

So what I emphasize here is that I should be centered on others, emphasizing experience, emphasizing openness, emphasizing transparency and emphasizing sharing. Everyone used to put their opportunities in their own pockets. Today, you have no chance or chance to hide these opportunities in your own safe deposit box. Everything in the world is transparent. In addition, we must take the responsibility and assume the responsibility as we mentioned just now. Donation is not that you have changed others, you have changed yourself. Many years ago, when the Yunnan earthquake and the Japanese earthquake occurred, our company appealed to every employee to participate in the donation. Many people asked, "why do we give it to Japan". I feel that your little donation can not change the situation of the disaster area, but your donation will change yourself, change your behavior, change your thinking, and change your offspring. So I hope you will take part in the social responsibility of the chamber of Commerce.

Finally, I think the more people will succeed in the next ten years, the more successful entrepreneurs will be. The real age must belong to those who seize opportunities to change themselves. Today is the real key. Today's actions and your mindset determine your future tomorrow. I spent this 2015 with you. Thank you for sharing. Thank you.
