Obama: Let me invite Jack to power. He is my idol. We all know that Jack is the entrepreneur, but you may not know that he is also keen to respond to climate change, clean energy participation. Jack, talk about why you have so much passion for environmental protection?

Ma: This is not a passion, it is fears and concerns. I was 12 years old, in his hometown a swim in the lake, I did not think that deep water, that once almost drowned. Five years ago I went back to that place, the entire body is actually already done!

Twenty years ago, not so much cancer; now, more and more people around to get cancer. If we did so hard, finally put all the money to the hospital, it was a disaster.

Starting in 2010, Alibaba every year to three thousandths of revenue for the public good. The money can do is very limited, but the most important thing is to wake up. Climate change, food, water, are needed to solve the problem.

We have always believed that where there are complaints, where there is opportunity. We find this is a great opportunity. This is why later - Bill Gates invited me to clean energy projects together, I think this is a great idea. We can do something. Compared with fifteen ago, our company is large, compared with fifteen years later, maybe today's very small, but if you do not solve water and air problems, no one can survive, no matter what your business is big It is small.

Obama: Ma introduced his method; Aisha, talk to your brine lighting project, your experience, you learn from it?

Aisha: My brother and I built this company. Salt. We want to use seawater to solve lighting in remote areas. You know, in the Philippines, 15-20 percent of people live on the island, they have no access to the grid. They kerosene lamps, kerosene lamps, you know insecurity and pollution. We thought, why not give people a safer, more efficient lighting solution? We thought of a device to generate electricity with seawater.

Obama: Great. I heard that this device can provide 8 hours of light a day, as long as the price of $ 20?

Aisha: Yes. Very cheap.

OBAMA: I think this is the perfect example. Young entrepreneurs, to deal with technical issues. In Asia, Africa, people can use this lighting, use it to charge the phone ..... Then buy things on Alibaba. That buy things from Jack ...... Jack, I want to ask you is that what we can do more to support these young entrepreneurs? Let them succeed?

Ma: As long as the government tax on it.

(Following a round of applause ......)

Ao Baba: Jack, you see the following CEO all cheered.

Ma: About Ali platform, I now have five babies, electricity providers, payment, Ali cloud [microblogging], logistics, rural areas.

OBAMA: Yeah, when you were born child?

(Laughter below.)

Ma: Alibaba platform is, we do not sell anything, we are enabling small businesses to enable them to succeed. Large enterprises on how to help young people succeed such as Aisha, I think I have a good example. In China there is a app called van to help, you know, long-distance trucks were loaded with the starting time, and come back often empty, this is a big waste. We just help them solve the problem by empty Ali cloud technology. Now this app a year to help Chinese trucks save fuel costs of 10 billion yuan.

I think that innovation is always on the outside of your company, we see good innovation will be excited, we will invest, or technical support, or with a variety of ways to promote.

Obama: What Your challenge is Elsa? Below you can continue to see the phone.

Aisha: We do a lot of effort, sometimes in order to teach people to use our means, we should take six hours to climb. We've got a lot of funding and support, but we still need a lot of funding. We are financing.

Note: Aisha said this time, Obama is too naughty to get eyes on Aisha, he has been good, pointing to Ma. OBAMA: Yes, I am here today is to match them both.

(Audience laughs)

Obama: First, I believe there are many things the government can do, especially at the beginning of many environmental projects; second, the lack of budget is not here today, the government should do what business is difficult to do, such as to support Some infrastructure projects.

Finally, I would like to Ma, in China, it is not the entrepreneur told you so that environmental protection is a very urgent matter, the environmental protection placed sufficiently important position?

Ma: China of course very much like to solve this problem. Beijing haze you know, I just came back from Beijing, throat discomfort. We join the 45 entrepreneurs, money together to do a thing called paradise.

I think it's too late to care about right or wrong, whether it is your fault, my fault, and now the problem is that we work together to solve problems. We have to think about how to do together more effectively. Government, enterprises, scientists, public institutions, the media, should unite. Scientists know how to do things right, entrepreneurs know how to work efficiently, the government responsible for the supervision, public institutions and the media responsible for wake-up philosophy.

Cooperation between China and the US should also be. I 紐約布蘭登 bought the park, I do not buy a forest, is to buy your experience, 30 years of the United States is how to solve the pollution problems of course, I want technology, the know-how brought back. This will be useful for China.

Aisha: on government support, you can not rely on the government, you have to do your part. Let people have electricity, with the lighting, which is a basic right.

OBAMA: I hope that our children, grandchildren, the next generation do not have to face these problems. Aisha your equipment, the other can also charge their cell phones, right? If people have this, you can charge their cell phones, and then use the mobile e-commerce.
