 On a trip to the United States, Ma had his first encounter with the Internet and saw the lack of

one of China’s first Internet companies.
 He said that "The day we got connected to the Web, I invited friends and TV people over to my
house", and on a very slow dial-up connection, "we waited three and a half hours and got half a
page", he recalled. "We drank, watched TV and played cards, waiting. But I was so proud. I proved
the Internet existed".
