"[Jack Ma's] score was several points below the normal acceptance rate at other universities for a full four-year undergraduate degree... but Hangzhou Teachers College had a few spaces left for male students and Jack squeaked in... In his sophomore year, Jack was elected president of the school's student union where he launched Top Ten Campus singers Competition, and was later president of the Hangzhou Student Federation."
That's an early excerpt from the lucky and ambitious life of Jack Ma. It is clear that what lead to Jack Ma and Alibaba's success was his incredible ability to communicate and influence.
The book focuses mainly on the story of Alibaba, but that story can't be told without telling the story of Jack Ma. This book is a business book masquerading as an autobiography. It speaks about earnings, IPOs, and scandals related to Alibaba and the raising internet scene in China.
