16 years
ago, Judy Tong Wenhong started her career as a receptionist in Alibaba. Jackma, owner of Alibaba gave her 0.2% shares at that time and promised her for 100
million when their company would get the public into the market. Tong was loyal and
hardworking.
In 2000, at the age of 30 Tong joined the Chinese-e-commerce hub. According to Women ofChina, she applied for an administrative assistant in the company, but she
didn’t have any experience regarding this post. So, she could not qualify for
the job. Later, she applied again. Finally, a chance was given to her to work
as the receptionist. Though her start
was shaky, she was persistent. Finally, this persistence helps her destiny in
the company.
Never give up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine. Jack ma
Jack
requested her to stay and won’t switch her job.
Alibaba fought to strengthen its place in the global competition
initially and Tong waited long years after years, Alibaba never went public.
Tong asked
jack when the company will go public. Jack asked her to wait there. The good
times are around. It will happen soon.
The very important thing you should have is patience. Jack ma
After a long
wait, in September 2014 Alibaba went public. In the New York stock exchange the
worth of Alibaba was $245.7 billion.
Tong,
Alibaba’s senior receptionist was promoted to Vice president. In the
company, she joined 14 years ago, she became a millionaire from a receptionist.
She served
Alibaba as the receptionist, customer service representative, and ultimately
vice president of Alibaba. She did not back down in front of hard challenges.
This is one
of the world’s most incredible stories of hard work, smartness, loyalty, and
consistency.
She knew
already that Alibaba was struggling to grow its business, but she performed an
instrumental role by providing full support to her boss and the company.
If we are a good team and know what we want to do, one of us can defeat ten of them. Jack ma
