The real name of the Chinese entrepreneur is Ma Yun. When he was just a boy, Ma firmly decided to learn English and for this purpose often communicated with English-speaking tourists, conducting free excursions. One day one of them suggested the future billionaire finding pen-pals in Europe, but with the condition that Ma will change his name to the European one. Ma Yun chose the name "Jack."
Jack was not a diligent student. Only after the third attempt, he entered the most ordinary two-year school in China. Ma chose the profession of an English teacher and after graduation was giving lessons in China.
