Ukraine, Nigeria, Togo, Ghana & hellip& hellip; Young people's "encouragement division" Ma Yun can't stop for a moment. In just one week, he was invited by the presidents of four countries to communicate with young people. On November 14 alone, he ran to three African countries.
That morning, Ma Yunxian attended the local digital economy summit in Nigeria to communicate with entrepreneurs. The invitation came from vice president oshin Baggio of Nigeria. In his subsequent meeting with Ma Yun, he said that young Nigerians are very active in the digital economy and that "Ma Yun's visit makes him very proud." Ma Yun said that it will promote the inclusive development of digital economy in Africa.
A few hours later, Ma Yun flew to Togo, a West African country, and sat around and had a dialogue with dozens of entrepreneurs from French speaking African countries, accompanied by the president of Togo.
Togolese president Frey is ambitious and hopes to develop the digital economy and train young entrepreneurs. In September last year, Frey came to China to attend the China Africa summit and specially bypassed Alibaba to ask Ma Yun for 'tips'. This time, Ma Yun went to togo to communicate with local entrepreneurs at the invitation of Frey.
On the afternoon of the 14th, Frey personally met Ma Yun at the airport and went straight to LOM é palace. More than 20 entrepreneurs from Togo and other French speaking African countries have been waiting for a long time.
The long flight did not stop Ma Yun's enthusiasm for Africa. He said to the young entrepreneurs on the scene, 'seeing you is like seeing myself 20 years ago.'
Ma Yun encouraged them with his own experience, 'I tried to go to Silicon Valley to raise money and hit a wall again and again, because no one believes that China's Internet will develop, and no one believes in China, because we have no credit card and no logistics. But because of this, we entrepreneurs have the opportunity. If China has everything, what do you want us to do? "
In his eyes, unlike Europe, which is worried everywhere, Africa is full of hope, because 'Africa doesn't worry about anything, just wants the future. The government should ensure that young entrepreneurs become heroes, because they are heroes. "
No matter in Nigeria or Togo, Ma Yun's most asked question is how Africa can learn from China. Ma Yun shared suggestions on establishing four 'e' in Africa: first, empower and support entrepreneurs e-entrepreneur; The second is the Internet infrastructure e-Infrastructure, so that everyone can access the Internet, use mobile phones, buy, sell, pay and send everywhere; The third is e-government, which can make the government transparent and efficient. The last and most important thing is e-education.
After the talks with President Frey, Ma Yun set out again for Ghana. The first 10 entrepreneurs selected by Ma Yun's African youth entrepreneurship fund will accept the challenges of Ma Yun and other judges in Ghana.
