Ms Dai was one of the first dozen employees of Alibaba, an online listings service Mr Ma, a teacher, had just started. It was already having some success connecting small Chinese manufacturers to potential customers, including the overseas ones Ms Dai was reassuring over e-mail. But the friends and students who made up the workforce were earning just 550 yuan (then $66) a month. Mr Ma, though, already had big dreams. That year he said: "Americans are strong at hardware and systems, but on information and software, all of our brains are just as good...Yahoo's stock will fall and eBay's stock will rise. And maybe after eBay's stock rises, Alibaba's stock will rise." Since then, Alibaba has come to dominate internet retailing in China, which will soon be the biggest e-commerce market in the world. It has moved beyond its original remit of connecting businesses to each other to ventures that let companies sell directly to the public (Tmall) and enable members of the public to sell to each other (Taobao). Between them, Taobao and Tmall processed 1.1 trillion yuan ($170 billion) in transactions last year, more goods than passed through Amazon and eBay combined Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini!
