4月25日，马云首次在日本东京早稻田大学发表演讲，在日华人的朋友圈几乎被马云亮相日本的消息刷屏。演讲中马云鼓励日本年轻人应该放开眼界，大胆开拓中国市场。中国有世界上最大的市场，而日本有许多世界闻名的优秀产品，二者结合有无限广阔的商业机会。

The reason for Mr. Ma holding a dialogue with the students at Waseda University can be attributed to the long exchange between the University and China. Waseda University has taken in its first Chinese international students since 1899, marking the start of exchange between Waseda and China. Since then, the University has produced many renowned Chinese graduates and leaders, such as Li Dajian and Chen Wangdao who contributed greatly to the modernization of China. As one of the most globalized universities in Japan, Waseda University has produced more than 630,000 graduates of whom many became global and business leaders, as well as entrepreneurs.

马云之所以选择与早稻田大学的学生进行对话的原因可以归结为大学与中国之间的长期交流。早稻田大学自1899年起就开始了中国的第一批国际学生，标志着早稻田和中国之间开始交流。从那时起，这所大学培养了许多著名的中国毕业生和领导人，如李大钊和陈独秀，他们为中国的现代化做出了巨大贡献。作为日本最全球化的大学之一，早稻田大学已经培养出了630万名毕业生，其中许多人成为了全球和商业领袖或企业家。

“Mr. Ma is not merely a businessman but also a Chief Education Officer, who has a strong passion for education and social reforms. I hope his dialogue will inspire all students and young entrepreneurs who are present today,” said President Kamata in his welcoming speech.

“马云先生不仅是一个商人，而且还是一名首席教育官，他对教育和社会改革有着强烈的热情。我希望他的对话能激励今天在场的所有学生和年轻企业家，”卡玛塔总统在欢迎演讲中说。

Throughout the dialogue, Mr. Ma gave the audience many meaningful pieces of advice and opinion.

在整个对话过程中，马云给了听众许多有意义的建议和意见。

“As an entrepreneur, you should have a vision. The vision should be different because if you have the same vision like the 99% of people, you don’t have a chance to win. As an entrepreneur, you [also] have to believe what you believe in. You [have to] believe and do things differently. This is what entrepreneur is. Don’t waste time convincing the world. Your job is to convince your team. Making sure your team work with you and believe in the same vision [as you],” emphasized Mr. Ma on the importance of believing and having an original vision if one wants to be a successful entrepreneur.

“作为一个企业家，你应该有一个与众不同的愿景。因为如果你的愿景和99%的人一样，你赢的机会就很渺茫。企业家也必须相信你所相信的。你必须以不同的方式去相信和做事情。这就是企业家的所在。不要浪费时间去说服这个世界。你的工作是说服你的团队。确保你的团队与你合作，并相信与你相同的愿景，”马云强调，如果你想成为一名成功的企业家，就必须相信并拥有一个原创的愿景。

One of the students asked Mr. Ma what he thinks about global food crises and food security, mentioning that he has founded a company try to address the issue and even considering turning to insects for alternative food source. Mr. Ma praised the student saying that his ideas and initiatives are creative and can solve real world issue. Additionally, Mr. MA also added that, “Those young people, they try to solve the world problem of the future. The bigger the world problem you solve, the bigger your company will be. Big company means big responsibility.”

其中一名学生问马云，他对全球粮食危机和粮食安全的看法，他提到，他已经成立了一家公司试图解决这个问题，甚至考虑将昆虫替代食物。马云赞扬了这名学生说，他的想法和倡议是有创意的，能够解决现实世界的问题。此外，马云还补充说，“那些年轻人，他们试图解决世界未来的问题。你解决的世界问题越大，你的公司就会越大，你的责任也就越大。”

“If you are a good entrepreneur, you have to take responsibility for the people who join you. I encourage students in universities, trying costs you nothing, but don’t pick up and don’t easy to give up. Keep on doing that,” said Mr. Ma.

“如果你是一个优秀的企业家，你必须为加入你团队的的人承担责任。”我鼓励大学里的学生，尽量不要去考虑钱的问题，但不要轻易开始，也不要轻易放弃，要坚持去做你想做的事。”
