2009年,全球金融危机打击了利用Alibaba.com来寻找海外买家的中国小商家,包括Alibaba.com当时的首席执行长卫哲(David Wei)在内的公司高管提议将收费减半。
In 2009, when the global financial crisis hit small Chinese merchants who were using Alibaba.com to find overseas buyers, company executives -- including David Wei, Alibaba.com's then CEO -- proposed cutting fees by as much as half.
卫哲回忆说,马云当时说如果商家没有了,阿里巴巴将不复存在。卫哲还说,马云一刻都没有多想。
'Jack said if merchants disappear there will be no Alibaba,' Mr. Wei recalled. 'Jack didn't even think for a second.'
降低收费帮助阿里巴巴度过了金融危机,用户数量大幅增加,2010年 利润较2009年增长45%。
Cutting fees helped Alibaba.com weather the financial crisis and led to a jump in users, pushing up its net profit by 45% in 2010 over 2009.
尽管马云创建阿里巴巴时几乎没有任何商业或技术背景,但他却知道如何选贤任能。
Although Mr. Ma started Alibaba with little background in business or technology, he knew enough to pick the right people.
马云推出阿里巴巴几个月后,他聘用了台湾出生、耶鲁毕业的律师蔡崇信。从1999年从高盛集团(Goldman Sachs Group Inc.)获得第一笔500万美元投资到广受期待的美国上市,蔡崇信在阿里巴巴的筹资和收购活动中发挥了重要作用。
