  Speaker 1: I mean, 25 years old, enjoy the show, enjoy the show.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: From 30 to 40 years old, you have to think
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: vertically when you're working for yourself if you really want
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: to be an entrepreneur.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: So 40 to 50 years.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Think about how can focus on things that.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: You are good at.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: But when you are 50 to 60 years old, work
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: for the young people. Because young people can do better
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: than you. So rely on them, invest on them, making
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: sure they're good. So 25 years.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Old, don't worry.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Any mistake is an income, is a wonderful revenue for you.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: In the future, it's not about the competition of knowledge.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: It's the competition of creativity. It's a competition of imagination.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: It's a competition of learning. It's competition of independent thinking.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: If you think like a machine, a problem will come.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: In the past 20 years, we'll make people like a machine.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: In the next 20 years, machine will look like a people.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: So in the future, it's not knowledge driven, it's the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: wisdom driven.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: It's the experience driven.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: In the past, it's the knowledge driven, and it's the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: manufacturing driven, and in the future, it's the creativity driven.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I think next 30.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Years, the world is going to change a lot. The
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: new technology is going to change every aspect of the world.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: So this is what we think the world should be
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: focusing on, Not only the IQ, EQ, but also focus
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: on LQ, the Q of love. Because only when you
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: care the others, only you care the others that succeed
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and more successful than you are, you have the chance.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Ten years ago, internet was so good. When nobody believed
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: internet was so good. Now internet is so tough because
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: all the smart people go to internet. So you should
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: go to the off-ground. I feel for Funny thing is
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: that I failed a key primary school test for two times,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and I failed like three times for the middle schools.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I tried, there's an examination that young people, if you
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: want to go to university, you have to take the examinations.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: So I failed three times.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: When I graduate from universities, and before I, you know,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: for three.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Years I tried to fail in the universities. So I
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: applied jobs. Well, 30 times got rejected. I went for
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: a police.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: They said, no, you're not good. I went to even
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the KFC. When KFC come to China, come to my city,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: 24 people went for the job.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: 23 people accepted. I was the only one guy. And
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: we went for police. Five people, four of them accepted.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I was the only guy that received it.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: So to me, Being turned down, rejected.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, I told you that I applied
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: for Harvard for 10 times, rejected. I learned so much
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: about the Hollywood movies, especially the Forrest Gump. You love
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Forrest Gump.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I love Forrest Gump.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Why do you like him?
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Simple. Never give up.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: People think he's dumb, but he knows what he's doing.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: And I was very depressed. The day, year 2002 or
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: 2003 in the States. I was very depressed when I
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: could not find a way for the internet. And then
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I watched the movie in my friend's home, Forrest Gump.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: When I see him, I think, this is the guy
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: we should learn from. Believe what you're doing.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Love it.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Whether people like it, don't like it, be simple. And
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: like the word, life is like a box of chocolate.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: You never know what you can get. I never know
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I would be here talking to you.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I never know. But today I made it.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I told my people in my apartment 15 years ago, guys,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: we have to work hard.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Not for ourselves.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: If we can be successful, 80% of the young people
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: in China can be successful. We don't have a rich father,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: powerful uncle, We don't get one dollar from bank, one
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: cent from government.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Just work as a team. I worry about it today,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: young people.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: A lot of young people lose hope, lose vision, instead
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: of complain. Because we also have the same period. Because
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: when I got, it's not a good feeling being rejected
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: by so many people. We also depressed. But at least
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: later we find that the world, has a lot of
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: opportunity how you see the world how you catch the
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: opportunity so in the Hollywood give me a lot of inspiration.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I at the beginning I never thought I thought.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: When I was young I said everything's possible now I
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: know not everything's possible we have something you have to
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: think about you have to consider about the others you
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: have to consider about the customer society your employees, your shareholders.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: There are so many things that I think if you
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: continue to.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Work hard, there's possibility. If you don't do it, nothing
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: is possible. If you try to do it, at least
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: you have the hope.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Calm down.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: There's always a way out. And keep yourself balanced. And meanwhile,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: don't try to... Because business is a competition. Competition is
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: a fun. Business is not like a battlefield. You die
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: or I win. Business, even if you die, I may
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: not win. Right?
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: So it's about fun.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, tell them the story and tell them that if Jack...
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I don't think in this.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: World there are a lot of people be rejected more
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: than 30 times.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: If we, you know, the only thing we never give up,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the only thing like we're like a forest gone.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: We keep on fight. We keep on change ourself. We
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: don't complain.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Whether you are successful or not successful, I find that
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: when people, when they finish the job, if they make
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the mistake, if they fail, if they always complain the others,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: this guy will never come back. If the guy only
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: check himself, yeah, something wrong with me here, something wrong
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: with me there.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: This guy has the hope.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: So many people I talked to at that time for Alipay,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: they say, this is the stupidest idea you have ever got.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: But I say, I don't have the stupid club as
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: long as people use it. Now we have 800 million
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: people using this Alipay.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: 1999, year 2000, even at the Yahoo times, A lot
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: of people say, this Jack is crazy. He's doing something
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: that we don't understand.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: A lot of venture capitalists give you money because there
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: is such an American model already there.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: But they say, Alibaba, we don't see this kind of model, right?
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: They say Jack's crazy. Yeah, this is crazy guy. I mean, I.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Remember my first time in Time magazine. They call me
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Crazy Jack.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: And I think crazy is good. We are crazy, but
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: we're not stupid.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: We know what we are doing, but if everybody agrees
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: with me, if everybody believes our idea is good, we
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: have no chance. So that's the money we raised, we
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: are very thankful. So when our investors make a lot.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Of money, I feel proud and honored.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Everybody is made unique and different. So you must have
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: a unique and different way. A lot of people today
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: have a.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Lot of complaints.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Say, I don't have opportunity. I complained a lot when
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I was young and suddenly realized complaint does not solve
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: any problem. Where the opportunity always in the place where
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: people complain. There are so many opportunities in this world
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: because there are so many complaints. If you can solve
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the complaint, one of the complaints, That's the opportunity. So
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: this is what we made. I think young people, if
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: my advice to be an entrepreneur, don't be scared of
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: failure or setbacks and don't give up. When we start
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the business, we had 18 founders including me, 17 of them,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: most of them my students.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: And most of them, well.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Today people think these 18 people, they smashed the people
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: in China. We don't think we are smart. Honestly, we
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: all graduate from the very poor schools. The only thing
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: we did was that we are very united. We all
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: believe the future. We are all optimistic. And we learn
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: through mistakes. We never give up. If you graduate from
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: famous university, please respect the people who graduate from the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: poor schools. Those people like us, graduate from a poor universities,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: please respect yourself. We have chance. We came today to now.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: We made so many mistakes. People say, you are lucky.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Yes, we are very lucky.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: We've been only 19 years to today's size. But we've
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: gone through so many tough situations. We've made so many
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: mistakes that people cannot imagine probably in 90 years.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: You have gone through so many tough experiences.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: And that will make you different.
