This one-hour dialogue not only focused on investment, but also fully interacted with investors on the general environment, how to be an enterprise, female leaders, future opportunities, scientific and technological challenges and other topics.
At the meeting, Ma Yun said that in the next five years, he hopes to spend more time on what he is interested in. He said, 'I wasn't interested in making money before, and now I'm even less interested, because all businesses should make money. Making money is a result.'
As for what is fun, Ma Yun said, 'I think it's fun if you do something that you feel happy and meaningful and do it well with a group of people.'
Ma Yun said that he may still be interested in education in the future. He believes that education should cultivate people's ability to deal with complexity. " I think I am interested in how we can cultivate a group of people who can adhere to their own determination, value system and mission in complex situations. "
The following is the record of Q & A:
Question: does Mr. Ma think this is a good era or a bad era? What are the global uncertainties that Mr. Ma may pay more attention to in the next few years?
Ma Yun: is the next five to ten years a good time or a bad time? This is a complex era, but the key is to see your own ability. First, most people can't judge that this is a complex era. Second, they don't know how to deal with complex problems. I think all of us should learn the ability to face complex problems and deal with problems in complex times.
The next five to ten years must be complex, because the whole world is entering a very complex state. The key is that there will still be many excellent companies in complex times, which is purely based on your ability and vision.
I have seen many opportunities, new technologies, China's transformation from investment in infrastructure and export-oriented to consumption driven by domestic demand and import-oriented, as well as China's problems and the world's problems. How complex the world is now, but this part of complexity has nothing to do with you. The good news is that everyone faces complex problems. The bad news is that you don't have absolute stability in any country. What attitude should you face?
When you see a complex problem, it's not terrible. You see that this snake is a poisonous snake. You won't be bitten by it. You won't be stupid enough to play with it, will you? You just need to judge that the next five years will be complex. Be careful. You will find opportunities in the complexity.
I think in the next five years, I hope to spend more time on what I am interested in. I was not interested in making money before, and now I am not interested, because all enterprises should make money. Making money is a result. If you do something that makes you happy and meaningful, I think it's fun to do it well with a group of people.
I may still be interested in education in the future. I think education should cultivate people's ability to deal with complexity. I think I am interested in how we can cultivate a group of people who can adhere to their own determination, value system and mission in complex situations.
