Alibabs Jack Ma is fan van Forrest Gump
Ha!
In his long road to riches, Alibaba founder Jack Ma says his inspiration has been the film character "Forrest Gump."
"I like that guy. I've been watching that movie about 10 times," Mr Ma said in an interview with a TV new channel as his Chinese online firm made its historic Wall Street trading debut on Friday.
"Every time I get frustrated, I watch the movie."
Mr Ma said the lesson he learned from the blockbuster featuring Tom Hanks was "that no matter whatever changed, you are you. I'm still the guy I was 15 years ago (when I earned) $20 a month."
Hoe fantastisch is dat? Een Chinese nerd die zich identificeert met Forrest Gump is door keihard te werken, innovatie en creativitieit, en natuurlijk het internet, knetterrijk... en hij vertelt iedereen nog steeds dat hij FG regelmatig kijkt als hij zich niet helemaal je van het voelt.
Mooi hoor.
