Although Ma Yun's mathematics is very poor, his English is excellent. Finally, because of his excellent English, he was admitted to Hangzhou Normal University, then sat firmly in the top five of the Foreign Languages Department, and was elected president of the Student Union. He also served as the president of Hangzhou Student Union twice.
After graduation, he worked as an English lecturer. University teachers don't have to work. Unwilling to be lonely, he took advantage of his work and found many part-time jobs: the first English corner in Hangzhou was established by the West Lake; As a tour guide for foreign tourists; Create "Haibo translation agency"; I went to Yiwu to wholesale small commodities ... After several years, I didn't make much money, but my super activity ability brought Ma Yun a lot of fame. Even won the honorary title of "Top Ten Outstanding Young Teachers in Hangzhou".
Later, a China company that had cooperative projects with foreign investors found Ma Yun and hired him to help collect accounts and translate them into the United States. It was this trip to the United States that brought him into contact with the Internet for the first time. But in the United States, he first experienced a "terrorist incident": American businessmen wanted to default, locked Ma Yun in a room and released him two days later. Then, the frightened Ma Yun went to Seattle to find a friend, where he first came into contact with the Internet: "I didn't even dare to touch the buttons of the computer. I thought at the time, who knows how much this thing is worth? " Can I afford to pay for it? "
This shows that Ma Yun had an unknown fear of the Internet at that time. ?
After returning home, he resolutely resigned as a respected university teacher and borrowed $2,000 to open China Yellow Pages, the first Internet business information publishing station in China. From then on, I became rich. ?
