I absolutely love the movie "Crocodile in the Yangtze", which is a bit of a cult movie in the start-up scene.
The movie is made by Porter Erisman, one of the early employees of Alibaba. More information about the movie can be found here.
Classic is the scene when Jack speaks to his first group of employees and let's someone film it, knowing it is an important moment in time. The hallmark of someone who is very assured of his future success.
I also like the strategy that Jack takes to win the battle against eBay by launching TaoBao, more about this can be found here.
The movie can be found on YouTube, the title is in Chinese, but the movie is in English (the quality is unfortunately not that great):

Do check out Charlie Rose's interview as well. It is a great one.
Thanks! Your link is indeed working, for the time being ....
ReplyDeleteUmmmm…guys…would prefer you actually buy my film on Vimeo! Not only is it legal, but it's HD! I'm glad you enjoyed the film though - thanks for the compliments! Porter Erisman, Director of Crocodile in the Yangtze.
