39th Reading - The House that Jack Ma built

I picked  this book from the Coop library. I just saw there on the shelve and I thought it could be interesting to read about the story of the richest man in China. I like biographies and this one could be good on my list because it is also about business and an international leader. It took me some while to start reading it because I had a pile off books to read before on my ipad and kindle so I had to take this book with me to Brazil and read on the plane and there at my grandma’s and mother’s place. Anyway, it was a very surprising story to read because I didn’t know that Jack Ma had started from zero as an English teacher. He started selling his programs online and quickly realized that he could be competing with ebay in China. He basically took advantage of the movement of the world towards ecommerce and made it happen big.
