The Guy KFC Rejected Built a $200 Billion Empire

KFC rejected him when they hired 23 out of 24 applicants. Harvard said no 10 times. Today he's worth billions - here's how Jack Ma turned constant rejection into Alibaba... Jack Ma's story is the ultimate lesson in persistence. Failed his university entrance exam three times. Applied to 30 different jobs after graduating - rejected from every single one. When KFC opened in Hangzhou, 24 people applied for jobs. They hired 23. Jack Ma was the only person they rejected. So what did he do? Became an English teacher earning just $12 per month. Then he discovered the internet, returned to China, and started a little company in his apartment called Alibaba. That company achieved the largest IPO in history. Jack Ma became China's richest man. The lesson: rejection isn't failure - it's redirection. Every "no" was pushing him toward building one of the world's most valuable companies. The person KFC thought wasn't good enough for fried chicken went on to revolutionise e-commerce for billions of people.
