2018年9月7日,美国《纽约时报》报道,阿里巴巴集团联合创始人、董事局主席马云表示,他计划在下周一(9月10日)辞去中国电商巨头的职务,从这家市值达4200亿美元的互联网公司抽出身来,转而从事教育慈善事业。
出生于1964年的马云,在今年的教师节9月10日,他即将迎来自己的54岁的生日。马云作为毕业于杭州师范大学英语专业师范生,也一直有做老师的梦想。这样听起来似乎比较符合逻辑!
从中国电商当前白热化竞争的市场现状看,京东此时此刻正因东哥的一次学习,还在“风雨中”,而“顺风顺水”的马云,却要卸下担子辞职。所以,就有网友纳闷地问,这里面不会有什么故事吧?
不过,今天据阿里巴巴公关人士回应,如果真有该计划,他们肯定会对外正式宣布;并且讲到,不管马云做慈善公益,还是在阿里巴巴集团,其实他都在做老师,看来马云要辞去公司职务,“云游四方”仍是个传说。
既然大家“虚惊一场”,马云不会下周一辞职,依然在商海江湖,那么他不退休,我们年轻人该怎么办呢?答案很简单,他是老师,我们自然还是抓紧时间好好学习马云的商业思想精华方为正道,毕竟300多年前牛顿就告诉过我们站在巨人的肩膀上才能够看得更远些。下面就来看看马云的十大经典名言中英对照。
