In the ancient Arabic tale called Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, the young hero Ali Baba says “Open Sesame” and a door to hidden treasures is opened to him. The old story had a special meaning for Ma Yun. He drew inspiration from it for Alibaba.com: China’s largest e-commerce(电子商务) website.

For him, success in business is like trying to catch a rabbit. “If there are nine rabbits, focus on catching one—don’t try and catch them all,” he said. “Change your ways if you need to, but don’t change the rabbit. Get one first, put it in your pocket and then catch the others.”
