"Never an era without Jack Ma, only an era with Jack Ma within it!" This is the final tribute paid to Jack Ma by the People's Daily. In 1999, when he was still an English teacher, Jack Ma, along with 17 "disciples," founded Alibaba in Hangzhou. With the support of Masayoshi Son's $200 million investment, Alibaba has grown into one of China's internet giants over the past two decades, dominating dozens of industries and earning its place as a true behemoth.
According to Alibaba's financial report for the fiscal year 2021, the company recorded a staggering revenue of ¥717.2 billion, with a net profit exceeding ¥150 billion. Its profit-making prowess is unparalleled.
When Jack Ma founded Alibaba, he famously said, "Make it easy to do business anywhere." However, it's surprising to see that, after ousting intermediaries, Alibaba itself became the largest intermediary. With the formation of its monopolistic position and the introduction of the "choose one out of two" policy, along with the high-cost selling of traffic, many merchants on its platform have found it increasingly difficult to conduct their businesses.
Despite holding vast amounts of cash, Alibaba seems more focused on rapid wealth accumulation than on giving back to society, as evidenced by the Ant Group incident last year. For those familiar with Ant Group, its primary profit source is Alipay. However, Ant was trying to go public on the STAR Market under the guise of "tech finance." Once Ant goes public on the STAR Market, its market value is expected to exceed ¥2 trillion, creating a new wave of billionaires.
But should Ant encounter operational problems after going public, it could potentially trigger a "subprime crisis" akin to what the United States experienced years ago. Ant utilized a debt-to-credit market model to turn ¥30 billion in capital into a credit market with a size of over ¥300 billion, increasing it by a staggering 100 times. Worth mentioning is that, in the event of Ant's failure due to operational issues, Jack Ma's liability would be less than ¥10 million.
After the Ant Group incident, Jack Ma transformed from being "Father Ma" to a "capitalist Ma" and became the target of criticism from countless netizens. Nevertheless, Jack Ma's business empire did not stop expanding. At the end of last year, Alibaba officially entered the "community group buying" market, reaching into the ordinary citizen's shopping basket.
Several domestic internet giants are entering the "community group buying" field, using their vast data and advanced algorithms under the guise of technological innovation. To quickly establish a monopoly, they are attracting substantial capital and heavily subsidizing certain daily necessities, severely disrupting the normal pricing system in the market.
In response to the frenzied actions of internet giants in the "community group buying" sector, the People's Daily issued an urgent warning: "Don't just focus on the traffic generated by a few cabbages; the vast oceans of technological innovation hold far greater promise."
Following the People's Daily's warning, regulatory authorities imposed fines on several community group buying platforms.
Karl Marx once said, "Where there is a 100% profit, capital dares to trample over all laws of humanity." When capital reaches a certain scale, it is not necessarily a good thing for a country, as South Korea's Samsung serves as a vivid example, with its current leader, Lee Jae-yong, recently released from prison.
Not long ago, after a scandal involving a female Alibaba employee being sexually assaulted, the People's Daily issued another stern warning: "Don't think you can control everything, because this is China!"
As a member of the media, I have witnessed how Jack Ma ascended to the pinnacle and how his image crumbled. He claimed not to be interested in money, but Alibaba became synonymous with "exorbitant profits." According to publicly available information, since Alibaba went public, Jack Ma has cashed out at the "high point" multiple times. Just last year, he cashed out ¥43 billion at the peak of Alibaba's stock price.
As one of the wealthiest individuals in China, if Jack Ma does not follow the example of Pony Ma and work toward "common prosperity," making a real contribution to the country's development, then the collapse of his public image may not be deserving of sympathy. On the contrary, if Jack Ma wants to restore his reputation and Alibaba wishes to become a century-old enterprise, they must shoulder social responsibility and a mission alongside their emphasis on technological innovation.
In conclusion, Jack Ma's journey from a humble English teacher to the founder of an internet giant is remarkable. However, it is essential for individuals and companies of such immense influence to balance their pursuit of wealth with their responsibilities to society and the nation. Striking this balance will determine their place in history and the lasting impact they leave behind.
在这个时代，马云无疑是一位杰出的创业家和商业领袖。然而，随着他的事业蓬勃发展，也伴随着更多的社会责任。在中国这样一个拥有庞大人口和多元化需求的国家，互联网巨头的行为不仅影响经济繁荣，还对社会稳定和人民福祉产生深远影响。
回顾马云的创业历程，可以看到他的初衷是为了让更多人参与全球化的商业机会。然而，随着阿里巴巴的崛起，一些问题开始浮出水面。与政府和监管机构的合作变得至关重要，以确保互联网企业在创新和竞争的同时，也能遵守法律法规，保障市场公平和消费者权益。
对于阿里巴巴和其他互联网巨头而言，更高的社会责任不仅仅是一种道德担当，也是维护自身长期利益的关键。继续扩大市场份额和增加利润的做法可能会在短期内获利，但如果忽视了社会和环境的长期影响，最终将导致公众的不信任和监管的加强。
中国政府一直在强调全面建设社会主义现代化国家，并提出了实现“共同富裕”的目标。在这个背景下，互联网巨头们有责任积极参与并支持国家的战略目标，通过技术创新和可持续发展来回馈社会。这不仅包括扶贫、教育、环保等社会公益事业，还包括通过公平竞争和合规经营来维护市场的公平和竞争性。
要实现这一目标，互联网巨头需要加强内部监管和自律，确保公司的经营活动符合伦理和法规。此外，与政府和社会组织的合作也至关重要，以制定和执行相关政策，以及推动社会公益事业的发展。
最重要的是，马云和阿里巴巴这样的企业领袖需要树立榜样，激励其他企业和企业家也积极履行社会责任。只有通过共同的努力，才能实现一个繁荣、公平和可持续发展的未来。
总而言之，互联网巨头如阿里巴巴在中国的崛起是不可否认的，但这伴随着更大的社会责任。在追求商业成功的同时，它们必须认真对待社会、环境和道德的问题，为中国的可持续发展和共同富裕贡献力量。只有这样，他们才能在历史长河中留下积极的印记，实现真正的伟大。
