At the age of 19, he graduated from college and went to the United States to study graduate school, because the youngest princess was honored.
A cocktail party brought a marriage for a talented girl, and after 6 months of falling in love with her boyfriend, she quickly entered the marriage hall.
Without Ma Dongmin, the Chinese people will never be able to "take a look at the mother, you will know."
Ma Dongmin is the wife of Robin Li and the biggest contributor to Baidu's birth. Because of this, she is often referred to as the woman behind Robin Li.
In fact, this statement is biased, because she is the leader of Robin Li.
As a genius who was admitted to the University of Science and Technology of China at the age of 15, excellence is the gene engraved in Ma Dongmin's bones.
At the age of 19, when she was about to enter college, she completed all her undergraduate courses and went to the United States to study alone.
In the Chinese study circles at that time, Ma Dongmin was often called a "princess".
In addition to the fact that others joke about her because of her young age, what is more important is that she has a solid family situation.
It is rumored that Robin Li was able to start from scratch and create today's achievements, which is inseparable from the help of his in-laws' family. But to this day, where Ma Dongmin's parents are sacred is still an unsolved mystery on the Internet.
In 1995, at the age of 25, Ma Dongmin was admitted to the best public school in the United States and began her doctoral career. It was also at this time that she met Robin Li, who would accompany her for the rest of her life.
The two met at a gathering of international students, and they were both leaders in the new York study abroad circle at the time. Just one from the biology department, the other specializing in computers, and can't walk together at all on weekdays.
Fortunately, thanks to the power of distribution, Li Yanhong, who was introverted by nature, finally nodded his head and agreed to the banquet.
And this decision was also the most correct decision he had ever made in his life, and there was no one.
Because at the party, he met the outgoing and cheerful Ma Dongmin. Between these two people who met and hated each other, the secret feelings of affection sprouted as they deserved.
So Ma Dongmin quickly formed a pair of Bi people with Robin Li, and in the 6th month of love, they entered the marriage hall hand in hand. It's just that the two big guys didn't hold a grand wedding, but wore their regular clothes to complete the formalities.
The couple did not feel that there was anything wrong with this move, but Father Ma, who was far away in China, was very dissatisfied and bluntly said that the marriage was too shabby.
Ma Dongmin insisted that this was the wedding she wanted.
Two
Silicon Valley tycoons with an annual salary of millions of dollars, but they love to dig up soil and grow vegetables.
Dissatisfied with her husband lying flat, he repeatedly urged him to return to China to start a business, and then the husband and wife joined hands to enter the billionaire club.
The reason why Chinese people failed to use Baidu in the 90s was because Robin Li was still farming in the United States.
At that time, he was not a lost pearl that no one appreciated, but Silicon Valley offered an annual salary of one million DOLLARs, just for the computer boss who stayed.
It was just that at that time, Robin Li did not have the heart to start a business, because he was busy carrying forward the talent of the Chinese nation to grow vegetables and open a vegetable garden in his backyard.
But Ma Dongmin, as a wife, is very resistant to Robin Li's attitude towards life.
It is also a top-notch big guy since childhood, but Ma Dongmin, who came from a prominent background, knows very well that the more people go up, the greater the competition they face, and if they want to be in an invincible position forever, only by refusing to be satisfied with the status quo can they continue to exert their strength.
So Ma Dongmin, who refused to let her husband completely become a Silicon Valley farmer, began to urge Li Yanhong to embark on a new journey to return to China to start a business.
This year is 1999, and it is also the node when China's Internet began to take off.
At the same time, in order to give her husband full help, Ma Dongmin also returned to China with her husband and threw herself into Li Yanhong's entrepreneurial plan.
According to common sense, in order to prevent one of the husband and wife from failing to start a business and eventually falling to the point of starvation, one of them will keep his existing job.
But Ma Dongmin dares to give up everything she has and accompany her husband to start a new career, which is inseparable from the confidence of being excellent from small to large, because she knows very well that no matter how many times she repeats, only success awaits her in the front.
This is not the inexplicable sense of superiority of the Puxin people, but the confidence of the young genius of the University of Science and Technology of China.
As it turns out, Ma Dongmin's choice was not at all correct, and she and her husband founded Baidu.
Not only was it successfully listed in the 4th year of its establishment, the couple became billionaires, and also joined the camp of Internet giants of Tencent and Ali, and called "BAT".
Nowadays, Baidu has become an indispensable tool for every surfer, and if the Internet lacks it, it may not work.

Refused to play the husband and wife file that was as deep as the sea, because they were busy with a hair out of control.
Relying on 22.5 billion to become a dark horse, after climbing to the 5th place in the rich list, he threw 100 million yuan just to thank his alma mater.
When Liu Qiangdong, who did not know the beauty of his wife, brought his milk tea sister to show his love in a high profile, as the biggest hero of Baidu, Ma Dongmin was horribly low-key behind Li Yanhong.
The couple rarely staged scenes under the spotlight of the magnesium lamp, but condensed a heart in each other's careers.
As the number one founder of Baidu, Robin Li has been standing in front of the stage and acting as the company's spokesperson.
Ma Dongmin, on the other hand, chose to retreat into the background, sending a lot of energy in a corner that no one knew.
Since Robin Li founded Baidu, it has not been all smooth sailing along the way.
As the company is about to go through its first 10 years, Baidu's revenue is deteriorating, which has also become a major problem for the founders of the group.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Ma Dongmin proposed to add a bidding ranking profit model to search engine products, trying to bring high advertising revenue to Baidu through the user's click behavior.
It is the application of the bidding mechanism that Ma Dongmin successfully brought Baidu back to life, and thus made the company's profit margins reach new highs.
And she herself has become a permanent guest on the rich list.
In the 2014 Hurun Female Rich List, Ma Dongmin transformed into a dark horse to break through the siege and won the 5th place in the list with a net worth of 22.5 billion.
In the years that followed, she remained at the top of the list, with no exceptions.
After achieving remarkable results, Ma Dongmin has not forgotten to achieve his alma mater.
So in September 2018, she donated 100 million yuan to the University of Science and Technology of China in her personal name, and set up a foundation at the same time, focusing on talent training and the development of her alma mater.
It is worth mentioning that the huge amount donated by Ma Dongmin is also the largest single personal donation since the establishment of the University of Science and Technology of China.
And this is also her highest-profile appearance so far.
As the hostess of Baidu, Ma Dongmin's working principle is to push the number of appearances to her husband Robin Li, and she concentrates on the group's investment and the handling of public relations problems.
Today's Baidu, under the careful maintenance of the husband and wife, while maintaining the foundation, is also constantly writing the myth of the Internet era.
