What does Jack Ma mean when he says that he can only fall in love with the government but not get married?

When Alibaba was founded, it was short of funds. Jack Ma thought of seeking support from the government, but the other party did not give it. By the time the bank wanted to give it, he no longer needed it.

But Jack Ma doesn't care. "It's rubbish to think about government money. Customers are king."

Ma Yun once worked in the government trade department for 4 months. It was this experience that made him realize that the government would definitely not be able to do e-commerce. So he said, "Now he just wants to fall in love with the government, but not get married."

Under normal circumstances, if the government asks Jack Ma to do a project, he will refuse, but will introduce others to him. If the government insists, Jack Ma says it can be done, but he won’t charge money.

He mentioned an order that Alibaba Cloud recently received from the Ministry of Railways. "Every Spring Festival migrant workers rush to get tickets. I say go ahead and do it. You must not charge money."
