Jack Ma Speaks at WSJD Live

[@edgarvibar]

I like Jack Ma. Facing a foreign audience and speaking in a language other than his mother tongue, he came across as completely comfortable in his own skin. He knows what he wants, how to get what he wants and how to stay ahead in the game. I admire his vision and foresight, and his long-term plans far into the future. For someone of his stature and his clout, it's inevitable that Jack Ma will also have to work for and work with the state. While he cautions others that it's okay to fall in love with the government but not to marry the government, Jack Ma himself could not have survived the cut-throat competition in China without being in bed with the government in one way or another. All big businesses do, in China or the US or elsewhere. When Jack Ma says he's very interested in Hollywood, I cannot help but sense that this is also part of Jack Ma and China's long-term plan to increase their country's softpower in the international arena. Admittedly, this is an area where China lags behind the US. Movies are one way to carry out propaganda and shape international opinion. The US has done this rather successfully since the days of Frank Capra and China can learn a thing or two from the US. Taking a page out of the American playbook, China might even beat the US at its own game one day. For now at least, Jack Ma is right to focus on the long-term development of China's movie industry instead of rushing into profitable but short-term Ali-flicks, Ali-sequels or Ali-blockbusters. As China's cinematic industry grows by leaps and bounds, it wouldn't hurt to learn the art of being subtle and subliminal from Hollywood. I wish Jack Ma all the success and hope China becomes a benevolent superpower in a multipolar world.

This interviewer is quite incompetent, trying to provoke Jack Ma emotions with silly political questions without asking the right questions to begin with, but Jack answered them quite honest and very well in fact, but adds nothing to why Jack Ma is there, that is to talk business.

[@maryammowahedi2054]

Yes , absolutely right . the way that Dennis Berman is talking and even the way he is asking questions is not proper .

[@alwinalfi]

@@maryammowahedi2054 I Totally agree , This interviewer is such a waste of time and the way of asking questions is really weird and not acceptable to all . Jack Ma as always nailed it all the time he is the best . This interviewer I would rate as Zero never ever give him a chance to interview unless he learn how to interview an iconic entrepreneur like Jack Ma

[@RickStarSoWavy]

He's a Very Humble And Intelligent person, Great Example for others.

[@alauc]

Jack Ma is honest, very smart and a living HERO.

[@SharonShamikoLee]

Jack you are too smart for the interviewer. hahahaha....

[@JerryBlizzard]

Jack, I know I've only met you a couple times but, you've become my mentor. I gain much wisdom when I view these videos with you speaking. I still desire my next and last, wife to be from China. I believe that you may be more Americanized than I ever was. i've always been a Free Man, avoiding servitude to faulty thinking leaders that cannot lead.

[@AdventureSeekerNZ]

He has good sense of humour which is a joy to watch.

[@cinergiadascienciasaplicad521]

Jack Ma is a business inspiractor. Thank you sir.

[@pronabghosh2194]

I like the speech of Jack Ma & think it is an inspiration for the young generation of the world

[@supertrouper]

His English is very good. He speaks almost like a native English speakers. I researched that he studied English at a young age and was a tour guide for foreign visitors for quite a while.

[@milonecuti]

jack ma speaks e clearly, it's easy to hear, excellent!

excellent talk! Thanks!

[@ThanantTansathian]

Thank you,

[@EldonnA]

Jack Ma is pretty smart. He isn't afraid about silly question.

[@MikeshoutsVideos]

4:33 "deep pocket but shallow mind" man, I couldn't agree more. Mindset has to change. Economic growth should correspond to social and ethic improvements.

[@vi0007]

interviewer kept interrupting interviewee too finish his thoughts.

[@mohammedrashid2906]

Thanks

[@peteryeung111]

He's a very intelligent man...now he has all the money to hire people smarter than him. Jack Ma, the man.

[@AdventureSeekerNZ]

I love this guy he is amazing. Go Jack Ma.

[@reservoirman]

damn this interviewer is mad annoying. Let the man finish, geeze!!

[@RaymunJai]

it's live. Not a sitcom where you can edit.

[@KenitraR80]

No. finally a interiewer who dares asking critical questions so that we can learn things about Mr.Jack and his views on the world.

[@scottisitt]

I clicked "like" for Jack, not the interviewer.

[@19billdong96]

Tip to interviewer: don't ask questions like an interrogator

[@milanpintar]

I really like Jack Ma, smart genuine guy.

[@christopherkarki3371]

I am really inspired by him, I have learned from him watching his video very day. atless for hour a day. now I am able to stand on my feet. thank you Jack for inspection. 9 month a go I start my business with 2000USD and follow each and every steep of advice. Today I have made 1.25 millions USD. thank you once again for leading us in business through your video

[@gianlucadenadai8478]

He's a great inspiring guy

[@iluvbigbootie]

this guy is awesome..his company might get bigger than apple one day

[@hayaglamazonluxe]

Vin Lee It's looking that way

[@陈俊丞-x8g]

woow,,,,,what you said come true now!

[@Jeff-je8zo]

He is a great guy! He talks about what he truly believes! I like his speech! But the host is not good enough! It is a pity!

[@pop168oppa]

His English is better than Canadian-Chinese English. No offence :D

[@crackniggthomas1598]

and he said he taught himself English when he was a tourist guide he has always try to talk to foreigners to improve his English

[@cjojo766]

***** Come on, people in their 40, 50s, they don't even know how to use computer at first, let alone speaking English. Jack Ma is using English to do the interview, there is a difference.

[@AdventureSeekerNZ]

You are spot on, the young people need hope all over the world.

[@Hotcheezyful]

"Go on"

[@montymike]

Such a legend.

[@agunsux]

Wonder why they hire this white dude as Business Editor at WSJ..

[@SermonsSubtitled]

agun wiriadisasra Wonder why there still exist racists like you who think in terms of skin color. If you think he is a douche just say this but his skin color has NOTHING to do with him being a douche

[@netincomematters]

I wanna hug Jack.

[@sumitmangar8563]

😢

[@Professorsavingsposts]

wow. agree that the youth can be engaged through story telling

[@warrior7147]

Simple person w/ a sense of humor make him rich!

[@joetube01]

Personally, I have Jack Ma up there with Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.

[@CairoQween]

The richest man in China... Jack Ma - Is my new BFF!

[@CairoQween]

I wonder does he use Twitter? Lol... I have been watching Alibaba for a while! I think he is absolutely correct on the Movie agenda!

[@faceeee5497]

Cairo Qween i think he don't use Twitter,and i am chinese.

[@SharonShamikoLee]

I don't quite like ebay. the auction thing is irritating, Too hard to post things compared to Amazon.

[@warrenc.7906]

Damn, the interviewer had a couple of good seconds but for the most part mucked it all up. There was so much that COULD have come out of this interchange that did not come out. Also, the people standing to ask a question were supposed to identify themselves... I'll bet you $10,000.00 right now, done in China the audience would have at least been able to get that part right. WSJ... that's it? Crap.

[@TrueBagPipeRock]

Interesting how he said in 2009 everyone was complaining whereas before that, people had more courage, or so he says. There was a "fundamental transformation" that may have had to do with that attitude.

[@19billdong96]

The comment section is more offended than Jack is

[@JUSTTHETRUTHTV]

Whats up with the sound?

[@GoytaDembiya]

Unlike most comments here, I never felt bad about the interviewer. He raise important questions.

[@jikangchua8196]

Its the way he ask the questions, its uncomfortable.

[@proudethailander6702]

+Ji Kang Chua . not to jackma

[@mohammedrashid2906]

Nice

[@mbbsc]

The interviewer's reaction is very shallow about Jack's comment on Hollywood movies, I guess Jack meant the Hollywood movies give him inspiration on his entrepreneurial journey, even shallow movies like violence movies you can learn by reflection and critical thinking.

[@hiennhseabank]

good

[@danypharel3245]

Jack Ma is the Father of Ecommerce. I don't care what you say.

[@TheMyoops]

i dont agree with everything he said honestly...btw i could barely hear it without the headphone.

[@Professorsavingsposts]

likewise. PUMP up the VOLUME

[@kandaSorata5527]

you don't agree? this is the reason that you will never be as rich as him

[@BingDwenDwen]

Thats why he is a visionary and you aren't....

[@hayaglamazonluxe]

GenericOpinion Ice cold response lol!

[@AmanSingh-fn3ko]

Then you should even comment that way

[@HoangLe-ci6ly]

Jack ma is my idol

[@tommyzhang9459]

"Chiner" LOL

[@muflehmohammed6198]

heroo Mr jack

[@hayaglamazonluxe]

What a wasted opportunity from the interview. Let Jack talk about his favourite films damn! Interesting insights there

[@TrueBagPipeRock]

i recommend to him the movie Jerry Maguire. I think he'd like it. It stood out like Forrest Gump.

[@kanzteo]

Yeah your are right. Jerry Maguire is about caring for the client and money will come. Exactly the same as Jack Ma's business philosophy.

[@europenam791]

this host is way too nervous

[@jainsidh15]

Dennis Berman at WSJD is asking poor and aimless question, he doesn't know what to ask. :( wasting time of Ma Yun aka Jack Ma.

[@rafaelizalde1486]

Jack Ma es un HÉROE, no se merece tener entrevistas con idiotas/Jack Ma is a HERO, he doesn´t deserve to be interview by idiots. Thanks Jack for your Wisdom!

[@SharonShamikoLee]

yes you got to work smart not hard. hahahahaha... Way to go Jack!

[@SameerInsights]

Sense of humour on top😅

[@jikangchua8196]

The host is being so forceful with his questions, its painful to watch.

[@proudethailander6702]

i did not hear what he said at the end eleven what?.com . can any one that have a better ears tell me . thanks .

[@hanhvn168]

eleven main.com.''' jack invest to this wed in us'' 11main.com'' to my opinion.

[@daisywang8687]

OMG. Horrible host. Can't bear the interviewer. Tried too harsh to the political topics.

[@hayaglamazonluxe]

Daisy Wang He's a jerk!

[@GodGod1337]

Daisy Wang Agreed. The host is putting Jack in an awkward situation where he might offend anyone without any form of intention. And really thank God that Jack English is good and able to use mostly correct words to prevent a bad situation from happening. I mean u know , if u are a businessman u will not really touch much on politics, People like Jack Ma are good hearted person. Tbh I think Jack is trying to create better relationship between China and USA by improving US exports to china back by chinese consumer. Chinese consumer are getting richer, the era of just exporting is shifting. Chinese consumers have wants back by purchasing power. They are looking for goods overseas that is not obtainable in china. Jack is trying to help his Consumer to achieve this. Once the network are establish, SMEs in USA will find that there are plenty of business opportunity in China thru using Alibaba technology platform and economy of both USA and China will improve. On the other hand China image in the world will also improve by this, resolving social conflicts. These are all kind hearted moves. People like Jack Ma just want the world to grow in the socially correct way. If its right and benefit the world, He will go for it. To be Honest most billionaires out there think this way. They are not money or greed driven , they just want to help the world within their limitation. You can clearly see that this host possess many form of bad social thinking and almost all people think this way. This is the clear difference between a successful person and a commoner.

[@ZetviCo]

There is a reason why the man called it "soccer" in this interview.

[@timgantumur5750]

Jack Ma learnt english as a kid. He would go to a hotel 100 miles away and practise it with foreigners. He gave free tours in english to improve his english. Thats dedication.

[@samfdsd2134]

yes, for 9 years!

[@coinappreciation]

Is this video from 1980? Haven't seen a man with feathered hair since then.

[@hkrumble]

Dennis Berman, what an annoying host. Makes sweeping statements, lacks nuance. Quite painful watching him try and lead this interview.

wow this Dennis Berman is so annoying! He made the whole thing like an investigation. And Jack was just being genuine to the "the audience" and he could engage with the audience really well, whereas this interviewer was trying damn hard to complete his checklist without giving him, a special guest, to finish his points!

[@samkeyho4200]

Yay.. Alibaba has overtaken Walmart, and this little white boy thinks he is smarter. Liked for Jack Ma, certainly not for interviewer.

the problem in chinese movie market is that as long as there is no western movies, the seats will be empty. so that's why Jack MA want to invest in movie market I guess.

[@hynoor7254]

my first comments

[@martiansurgery]

The problem is (from an American perspective) that people in China accept a lot less pay for the same amount of work ..a lot less. So essentially were competing with soft slave owners who get a lot more man power for their buck

[@stevenwang6080]

Shilly Storm the purchasing power is completely different in china in terms of nominal currency, their expectation of additional income inflates with the general economy just like anywhere else. Your statement is both uninformed, and really insulting to both the Chinese people and people who were/are actual slaves.

[@timelessd9096]

At the end of the day, it is what could be purchased with the amount of money you have in (any) country you live in. For example, in China, many basic items are still 5 to 10 times cheaper than as compared to US. Most foreigners to China know that food and transportation, healthcare, etc, are much cheaper in China. So, is that slave labor when hundreds of thousands of foreigners seek teaching jobs in China? Yes, these foreign teachers in China might earn around $1,000/month in China but they still could travel a lot around China and still have substantial savings and this fact alone tells you that the cost of living in China is much lower.

I'm going to do Jack Ma a favour, because he already knows that the business he is in is floating on a wave of media hype, he also know that there are some serious underlying issues that when get exposed will damage the company in the long term. Do yourself a favour lose the ego, secondly weed out the cancer that has already set in the company as it will be it's undoing over time. Thirdly get yourself a PR person who can win not just people over but Countries over as much as this is your Baby, take a back seat and hire professionals to do the donkey work. If you want to play centre stage then decide which would you rather have more returns and investors or you stealing the spot light. Take a page out of Henry Fords' book, he hired people who were at the time the best and the reason he did it was because he understood that he wasn't going to know everything so he surrounded himself with people that did. That is why he was so successful. Just trying to do you a favour!
