When I retire from CEO position, I told to my CEO and teams, I promised when I am a chairman, I'm still learning to be a chairman.
当我从CEO的职位上退休时,我告诉我的CEO和团队,我承诺当我成为董事长时,我依然在学习如何当董事长。
I thought if I will become a chairman and when the company is big, I should have more free time to play golf, on the beaches.
我想如果我能成为董事长,当公司变大的时候,我应该有更多的空闲时间去打高尔夫球,去沙滩晒太阳。
But I find, oh my gosh, I fly 870 hours in the air last year.
但我发现,天哪,我去年光在在飞机上就待了870个小时。
And this year 1,000 hours in the air. Three things.

The first thing I will do is make sure our company is a mission-driven company.
我要做的第一件事就是确保我们公司是一家以使命为导向的公司。
Mission. Mission and vision-driven company.
使命。使命和愿景驱动的公司。
We had to make sure the whole company believe we are building economy that can empower every small business, young people, women, they can easily do business through internet.
我们必须确保整个公司都相信,我们正在建设的经济能够赋予每一个小企业、年轻人和女性权力,他们可以通过互联网轻松做生意。
This is number one. So, I am talking to everybody, everybody in the company I meet.
这是第一点。所以,我要告诉公司的每一个人。
I remember there is a guy called David Wong, that was early days when I came to America, talked about internet, about a value mission of the company.
我记得有个叫David Wong的人,那是我刚来美国的时候,他谈到互联网,谈到公司的价值使命。
This guy sitting there, he was working for Fortune 500.

He said, Jack is a crazy guy. How could you -- a company has no business model, no money, and talk about the mission vision of that valley.
他说:马云是个疯子。一个公司没有商业模式,没有资金,竟然还在谈论所谓的使命愿景。
I say, David, come to my company. So he came to China, spent three days in my company.
我说,大卫,来我的公司吧。于是他来到中国,在我的公司待了三天。
When he leave, he said, Jack, I find you are crazy.

We do not think we are crazy. We think the outside world is crazy. Yes.

This is very, very important. And also I think for the first three years of Alibaba, we had no revenue, no business model.
这一点非常非常重要。而且我认为在阿里巴巴的头三年里,我们没有收入,没有商业模式。
And I told the team, forget about the money, revenue today.
我告诉团队,今天先别管钱,别管收入。
If you want to be a long-term company, the only thing to think about is customers.
如果你想成为一家长期公司,唯一要考虑的事情就是客户。
The best revenue for our first one or two years. The best revenue is what?
这是我们头一年或两年最好的收入。最好的收入是什么?
It is the email of thanks. That is the best revenue.
是感谢信。这才是最好的收入。
If the customer send you email saying, you are great, I was so happy.

Early days when I went to small restaurant, people will pay my bill with a small note that say, Jack, thank you very much.
以前我去小餐馆吃饭时,人们会给我一张小纸条,上面写着:马云,非常感谢你。
I know you do not make money, but we made a lot of money through your website. Yes.
我知道你们不赚钱,但是我们通过你们的网站赚了很多钱。是的。
I like that. Even now today, I have a lot of customers, they pay me something, you know. It is not a bribe.
我很喜欢这样。即使是现在,我有很多客户,他们也会给我钱。这不是贿赂。
There is a boy in a hotel, he opened the door for me, he said, Jack, thank you so much, my wife makes more money than me on your site.
有一个男孩在酒店里,他帮我开门,他说,马云,太感谢你了,我妻子在你的网站上赚的钱比我还多。
So this is the best. And I want to keep this culture in the company, keep on going.
所以这是最好的情况了。我想要保持公司的这种文化,继续下去。
Second thing is culture. Right. The people.
第二点是文化。嗯。人。
