Season 3, Episode 5: Alibaba

We continue our China Tech series with perhaps the most
incredible entrepreneurial journey in history: Alibaba and its
indefatigable founder, Jack Ma. How did an unknown 30 year-old
English teacher from a second tier Chinese city build the world’s
7th largest company by market cap (and the largest in China) in
just 20 short years? This is one story you don’t want to miss.
