I even don’t dare to watch our stock price, because this is what other people think who you are. I dare not watch it. I think, let the market take care of themselves; we should take care of the business.

I like to play cards. I’m not very good, because I don’t want to calculate, I just play by instinct. But I’ve learned a lot of business philosophy by playing poker.

I respect Apple. It’s a great company that changed the world, especially the mobile time.

I want to change history, do something important in my life, and influence individuals like we have with millions of small businesses on Alibaba. Then they love and respect you because you made their life important.

I’m coming to this world not to work. I want to come to this world to enjoy my life. I don’t want to die in my office. I want to die on the beaches.

I’m not a tech guy. I’m looking at the technology with the eyes of my customers, normal people’s eyes.

If Alibaba cannot become a Microsoft or Walmart, I will regret it for the rest of my life.
