After the 5·12 earthquake, Wenchuan almost disappeared from the map. To date, the number of deaths caused by the earthquake has exceeded 30,000. People around the world have reached out to help the disaster victims. In particular, many entrepreneurs' generous assistance left a deep impression. Among them, the Formosa Plastics Group and Mr. Run Run Shaw each donated 10 million yuan. At this time, two entrepreneurs gave us a lesson. One is Wang Shi, and the other is Jack Ma. Wang Shi and his Vanke Real Estate donated 2 million yuan, and he also requested that company employees' donations not exceed 10 yuan. The father of China's e-commerce, Mr. Jack Ma, took even more surprising action - he donated one yuan.

Regarding previous reports that "Jack Ma only donated one yuan in earthquake relief efforts," a relevant person from Alibaba denied the rumor yesterday, saying that it was a deliberately orchestrated rumor, and stated they would not pay attention to such gossip.
