My relationship with the government is complex; I advise my team to respect them but not to rely on them for e-commerce, as it's essential to create jobs and improve the economy through the internet.

When entering China, we partnered with a local company, but it didn't align with our values, leading us to buy them out and operate company-owned stores instead.

I look for founders with a long-term vision, focusing on making customers happy and creating jobs rather than just getting rich quickly.

The Chinese worked their way out of poverty through hard work and perseverance, rather than relying on government intervention.

I believe that raising a lot of money isn't always the best strategy; it can lead to overspending and failure, as seen with many companies in Silicon Valley.

The main reason I invest is because I believe in the company and its potential, not just to be a helpful investor.

After attending a leadership discussion at Davos, I decided to launch our payment system immediately, understanding the importance of building trust for the future of e-commerce in China and globally.

When the government approaches me for projects, I often decline but offer to connect them with others who can help, maintaining a professional distance while still being supportive.

It's shocking how many companies focus on fundraising instead of talking to customers, which is a fundamental mistake.
