On May 9th, a Beijing Business Daily reporter saw an old post by Jack Ma from 20 years ago being made public on the forum "Taojianghu" that was restarted on Taobao. In February 2004, Jack Ma posted that he firmly believed that the biggest beneficiary of a truly, great, and outstanding e-commerce website should be the users, and the biggest builder should also be the users.
At that time, Jack Ma believed that it was difficult to make big money online today, but making money online would definitely be the trend of tomorrow. Opening stores online within the next 2-3 years, online shopping and sales will become an important part of people's lives. As a future emerging industry, the most important thing today is not making money but accumulating experience.
In his old post, Jack Ma also lamented that "Taobao is a child who grew up eating from thousands of families." Since Taobao was born more than nine months ago, he has come to forums almost every day. Every time I see the positive and kind understanding, suggestions, and support from users on the forum, it makes him and his colleagues deeply moved.
