As a mature listed company, what turning points has Alibaba had?

Today, Alibaba Group has become a domestic giant and gained some influence in the world. However, there is no smooth road, and Alibaba has also experienced stormy waves along the way.

1999, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, there were 18 people sitting together in a room on the third floor of Building 16, Hubin Garden Community, Xihu District, Hangzhou. Ma Yun standing in the middle is sometimes impassioned and sometimes bared his teeth. I don't know where he got his confidence. He declared that he wanted to set up the largest internet company in the world. There are 17 people sitting at the bottom, listening and secretly rolling their eyes. After two hours of speech, Ma Yun mobilized everyone to come up with their own money to collect 500,000 yuan as the start-up capital of the company. And this company is now Alibaba.

However, in the early stage of development, due to tactical mistakes, Alibaba was caught in a dilemma of living beyond its means and serious blood loss. On September 20, 2000, Ma Yun announced that Alibaba had entered a state of emergency. At that time, the monthly expenditure increased by $6.5438+0 million, and the Nasdaq index continued to plummet ... In this context, Alibaba began to look for cash products.

However, one of them, 18 Lohan, recalled that before the company allocated funds in 2005, the sales in Jinhua area were all working in the house at their own rent, and the office equipment was insufficient. Six or seven salespeople share two computers. I have eaten every meal, and I can't even afford mosquito-repellent incense.

Under such difficult conditions, Alibaba stepped out of a group of sales blacksmiths, which laid half of the country for Ma Yun.

After 20 10, riots broke out between Ali's management and major shareholders. Fortunately, 3Q broke out and gradually evolved into an Internet world war in which the heroes were separated, which also made Ma Yun relaxed a lot and laid a certain foundation for the current bat Three Kings hegemony.
