The friends born in 198s and 199s must be familiar with the cartoon of Alibaba and the Forty Thieves. Those who watched the cartoon are all associated with Alibaba and open sesame. They think that once there is Alibaba, it is not far from their mantra open sesame. When Ma Yun founded Alibaba, he sought the recognition of people in the society for the name of the company. When dining in an American restaurant, Ma Yun asked the waiter if you knew the name of Alibaba. Ma Yun was satisfied when he received a positive reply and thought of open sesame's mantra. Later, in other people's inquiries, Ma Yun got the same answer, so Alibaba was born as expected.
The origin of Alibaba's name: Ma Yun thought of it according to the animation of the 4 Thieves of Alibaba, because the next sentence of Alibaba is open sesame, which means that Alibaba will always open its doors and will not fail.
