You Could say that I spent 10 years preparing for tonight.10 years ago I wondered how 10 years later, I might talk to my employees, to my customers, to my friends and what I would say.just now when I arrived and saw so many colleagues and friends, I suddenly felt that I don't have to say, anything because everyone's actions speak for themselves.
10 years ago, in my home,me and 17 co-founders sketched out a map of how we thought china's internet and e-commerce would develop.we talked for two hours.and from that day started to follow this road.i've always been thinking what allowed us to survice?And what allowed us to follow our steps until where we are now?
Today i want to share my thoughts with all our colleagues and friends.i think we are a very fortunate company.we are fortunate to live in this time.we are fortunate to live in the internet era.we are fortunate to live in china.
Today the trip has trip has just begun.The road ahead is very long.Alibaba is not just a job.It's a dream,it's a great cause.Let the wall street investors curse us if they want.We will still follow the principle of customers first,employees second and investors third.
We need to be a company with a 21st countury concept, a company which is transparent, responsible, sharing and global.The world needs a spirit, a culture, a belief and a dream.Alibaba people will stick to our beliefs, our cluture and our dream.
Only our dreams, beliefs mission and value system can take us further.Today is very cruel.Tomorrow is crueler.And the day after tomorrow is beautiful.Most people die on the evening of tomorrow and can't see the sun the day after tomorrow.
The world has given us this stage the world has given us this opportunity, to use all of our wisdom, all of our courage, and all our determination, to help 10 million enterprises survive, grow and develop, to create 100 million employment opportunities, and provide an affordable platform for 1 billion people.
Thank You.
