9、near and far (and really far) made their pilgrimages to Trump Tower hoping to figure out what this most unexpected presidency might look like, these two made the oddest of couples: the tall, elaborately coiffed president- elect and the elfin CEO of the most famous company in China, a country candida

11、ost of them balloted against the candidate of president of the club.5.villainHe was stereotyped a villain.In the extraordinary life of Ma Yun, known to most people in the West as Jack Ma, this meet and greet on steroids was yet another of many extraordinary moments. Ma, the founder and executive cha

12、irman of the Alibaba Group, had come to Manhattan to tell Trump he wanted to help American entrepreneurs sell their goods directly into Chinausing, of course, his e-commerce site to connect buyers to sellers. As Ma was speaking to the assembled press, Trump at one point leaned into the microphone an

13、d chirped, “He loves this country.”A few seconds later, Trump realized he might have erred. Proclaiming to the world that the most globally visible businessman in a country run by an authoritarian regime that is, at best, a strategic rival of Washingtons “loves” the United States might not be good f

14、or Ma back home. So Trump, towering over his tiny counterpart, awkwardly interjected, “He loves China too,” as Ma grinned but said nothing.That the two men hit it off that dayand friends of each say they didis not surprising. Ma, like Trump, is brash andblunt, particularly by the standards set for C

15、hinesebusinessmen, most of whom avoid attention the way Trump avoids strong winds. Not Ma. “Hes an alien, his friend and fellow billionaire Guo Guangchang, founder of the Shanghai conglomerate the Fosun Group, once said. “Hes so out there.” Every year, for example, Ma hosts an annual meeting of “Ali

16、ren” (Alibaba people) from all over the world at the companys headquarters in Hangzhou, about 100 miles south of Shanghai.Employees and customers alike come to hear Ma evangelize for the brand. And evangelize he does, making impassioned speeches about what the company has accomplished each year, as

17、well as what it has failed to do. He invites celebrities and politicians andbusinesspeople. Arnold Schwarzenegger came while he wasgovernor of California. Ive seen Ma ably translate a Q&A session with thenU.S. Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman, and Ive seen him share that stage with the CEO of eBay,

18、a company he gleefully drove out of China when Meg Whitman (now running Hewlett-Packard) was in charge.I first got to know Ma while he was in the process of outwitting Whitman in the early 2000s. He sat in his office and, proudly on the record, told story after story of how he thought eBaythen his p

19、rimary competitor in Chinawas screwing up. He told me Whitman was making secret visits tothe country and spending weeks with her China team, trying toget their strategy right. He even told me where she was staying while there (the private residence wing of the J.W. Marriott in Shanghai). He cackled

20、repeatedly during ourconversation, mocking his rival and her company. He was so open that I had a hard time believing I was interviewing a Chinese CEO. After I left his office, I called the Marriott where Ma had said Whitman was holed up. He was right.Ma is not boastful the way Trump has always been

21、, but he is ferociously ambitious for himself and his companyin a way that some analysts believe is risky for Alibaba. Next month, under the guise of helping “level the playing field” (Mas words) between the U.S. and China on trade, he will move to expand Alibabas presence in the U.S. He will visit

22、Detroit for a two-day Alibaba-produced event called Gateway 17. Its purpose will be to demonstrate how American businesses can utilize the virtual shopping mall that is Alibaba to sell into China. It will do so, in part, by introducing some American entrepreneurs who have already done just that. Ma

23、talks enthusiastically about a third-generation cherry farmer from Washington who has already sold “tons” of cherries in China using Alibabas platform, and a family- owned drugstore in Philadelphia, Lucky Vitamin, that now sells thousands of products there.Mas pitch is straightforward: China is open

24、 for business, and his platforms enable you to deal directly with consumersno middlemen, no government agencies hampering your ability to compete. And though Chinas economy is slowing, retail there is booming. Last year, Ma says, China surpassed the U.S. as a retail market, with spending nearing $5

25、trillion. By next year, Chinas online spending will be greater than that of the rest of the world combined. Mas message to American small-business owners in Detroit will be essentially the same: China has 1.3 billion potential customers, so use Alibaba to find them.Does Ma actually think his platfor

26、m can make a dent in the massive bilateral trade deficit? No, “but we certainly can be a positive force in that direction.” Thats the message that beguiled Trump, who is no longer vilifying China, though Beijings help dealing with North Korea probably has more to do with that than Mas charm.The Expl

27、osive Shrimp CocktailIt is not an exaggeration to say that Ma is the person most responsible for the astonishing growth of e-commerce in his home country. Like the mythologizing of the late Steve Jobs in his garage creating the first Apple computer (it is Jobs to whom Ma is most often compared, and

28、rightlyso), Mas entrepreneurial story is the most famous one in modern China. He had started two companies that failed, then spent a miserable two years working as a bureaucrat in one of Beijings economic ministries, before returning to his hometown of Hangzhou. There, in February 1999, he gathered

29、several friends in his apartment to tell them about his vision for a new venture, Alibaba. Duncan Clark, a friend and consultant to Alibaba for many years (he also wrote the recent book The House That Jack Built ), says Ma, despite his two failures, had supreme confidence in his idea for an e-commer

30、ce platformso much so, infact, that he had the gathering filmed for posterity.Mas favorite movie back then was Forrest Gump, and he often points to the scene in which Gump makes a fortune hauling in shrimp after a big storm. In the early days of e-commerce in America, he told his assembled friends, most of the big companieswere “B2B” (business to business) sites. “American B2B sites are whales,” said Ma, “but 85 percent of the fish in the sea are shrimp-sized. I dont know anyone who makes
