The Lady who had patience with Jack Ma for 14 years
The Lady who had patience with
Jack Ma for 14 years
The lady's name is Tong Wenhong. She
joined Alibaba 16 years ago as a receptionist. When Jack Ma was allocating company
shares, he gave Tong 0.2% shares rights, saying it will be worth $100 million
when Alibaba goes public into the market later. He asked her to just stay in the
company, telling her not to change to other companies and she will get $100 million
when Alibaba goes public.
Tong
waited years after years but Alibaba never went public. She asked Jack when
Alibaba will go public in 2004 and Jack said soon. She asked again in 2006 and
Jack said soon, again. However she never saw it happen and never got the $100
million.
When Alibaba finally went Public in the
New York Stock Exchange in September 2014, it was worth $245.7 billion. Tong,
the former Senior Receptionist, current Vice President of Alibaba, became a
Millionaire with $320 million worth of Shares!
Can you stay
in a Company for 14 years, when the Founder is still fighting tirelessly,
without you complaining as a Follower?
They said to succeed, you must be
down to earth, never be eager for quick benefits.
If
you are sure that there is water down the well, put all your efforts and time
at this one location. We would rather dig a well within 10 years' time than to
dig 10 pits in one year's time.
Stay hungry
for victory!
Greater
things takes time, we need to practice the art of waiting, and having enough patience
in our individual lives and businesses.
