马云再次风靡全球 世界最大公司的掌舵人

At the time e-commerce was unheard of in China.
那时，电商在中国还闻所未闻。
“I called myself a blind man riding on the back of blind tigers,” he once said to The Guardian.
谈到当年的决定，马云对《卫报》的记者说：“我觉得自己就像骑在盲虎背上的盲人。
”It turns out he was right.
结果证明，他是对的。
“The business model Ma Yun created in China suited the Chinese market,” said Feng Pengcheng,director of the China Research Center for Capital Management at the University of InternationalBusiness and Economics.
外经济贸易大学中国资本运营研究中心主任冯鹏程说：“马云在中国创建的商业模式很适合中国市场。’’
Ma seized opportunities as China was transforming into a market economy with the middleclass unleashing buying power online on a significant scale.”
他说，“马云抓住了中国向市场经济转型的机遇，此时，中产阶级正释放出空前规模的网上购买力。”

“He is the opposite of stuffy and canned. He’s a funny, creative and a compelling speaker. Ioften thought he could have another career in stand-up comedy,” Said Duncan Clark, aBeijing-based technology consultant.
来自北京一家公司的技术顾问邓肯•克拉克曾评价道，“他（马云）一点也不沉闷古板。相反，他说话风趣，很有想法，也很吸引人。我总觉得，他如果去做脱口秀，也能做得很好，
”Responding to rumors that Ma planned to move to Hong Kong next year on an investmentimmigration scheme, according to comment from The Guardian, “his speech was bothpatriotic and diplomatic, colloquial yet clearly well-planned. He explained that he had no plansto emigrate.”
在回应一些媒体对于他计划于明年通过投资移民搬往香港的传言，英国《卫报》对马云的沟通能力有如此评论，“他的演讲既充满爱国热情又兼顾外交效果，语言通俗但内容明显经过精心准备。他澄清自己并没有移民计划。
”Describing his ideas to press in the US and UK, according to BBC, Ma often uses a dizzyingarray of visual symbols, such fish in a pond and gold bars falling from the sky.
据BBC报道，在面对英美媒体，表达自己的观点，马云常会运用很多生动形象比喻，比如，池塘里的鱼，以及天上掉下的金条。
Sanjay Varma, a former Alibaba vice-president who now works in Hong Kong, still remembershow Ma could be such a convincing speaker when talking about his ambitions. He had long,late-night conversations with Ma about his ambitions in 1999, soon after the company wasfounded.
目前在香港工作的阿里巴巴前任副总裁——桑杰•瓦尔马仍然记得马云在陈述自己的抱负时，令人动容的说服力。1999年公司刚刚成立时，他和马云曾多次在彻夜长谈对未来的雄心与计划。
“He really wanted to empower the little guys, the small companies,” said Varma.
瓦尔马说，“他真的很想促进微小企业的发展”
To use the wording of the BBC, it is a “rags-to-riches” story both for Ma and the millions whodepended on the eco-system he forged in the digital age of Alibaba.
正如BBC所言，不论对于马云，还是千千万依靠着马云依托数字时代建起的阿里平台发家致富的人，这都是一个“白手起家”的神话。
