Hangzhou, 1964 to 2014. An English teacher on a state salary of about a hundred yuan a month starts a translation agency, sees the internet for the first time in Seattle in 1995, and builds a web directory for factories that are not on the web. In February 1999 he gathers seventeen other people into his apartment at Lakeside Gardens, tells them the company will be global, and takes their money. The market he is building for has no consumer credit cards, no credit bureau, no reliable parcel delivery and no way for two strangers a thousand miles apart to pay each other. What this history turns on is what must be invented before strangers can trade, and who may hold the money meanwhile. Covers Ma Yun, China Pages, and Alibaba.
