Alibaba Aspires to Be the Old Man of the Internet
--------------
Ever
heard of the 2,000-year-old man? Alibaba hopes to become a 102-year-old company.
Its IPO prospectus explains that oddly specific goal: 'For a company that was
founded in 1999, lasting at least 102 years means we will have spanned three
centuries, an achievement that few companies can claim. Our culture, business
models and systems are built to last, so that we can achieve sustainability in
the long run.'

聽說過一部美國喜劇作品中有個年紀達到2000歲的角色嗎？阿里巴巴希望自己成為一家能生存102年的企業。在周二發布的首次公開募股(IPO)招股說明書中，阿里巴巴解釋了這個奇特的目標：作為一家創建于1999年的企業，至少生存102年意味著我們要橫跨三個世紀，鮮少有企業宣稱做到這一點。我們的文化、業務模式和體系具有可持久性，讓我們能夠實現長期的可持續發展。
