Jack Ma's visions

In the video above, Jack Ma states that even after 60 years or 80 years down the line, people should remember the apartment which gave rise to innovation. Jack Ma still keeps the apartment (called the Hangzhou apartment) and wants it to inspire startups. With Ma now having taken a bow from Alibaba – to focus on societal interests, it only becomes imminent to check out his popular life-quotes.
