Daniel Zhang, the former top manager of Alibaba, has larger shoes to fill now. In September last year, he took over the role of chairperson from Jack Ma, who decided to step down after building the $420-billion(十亿) internet business.

Zhang studied finance at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. After graduating from school he worked at a gaming company in Shanghai. The Shanghai native joined Alibaba in 2007 and played a key role in helping to drive Taobao to profit(营利). He is best known for starting the ''Double 11'' shopping festival, which has brought in 50 million yuan in sales during the first festival in 2009 to 268 billion yuan in 2019.

As to leadership style, Zhang is very different from Ma. The latter made a name for himself as an entertainer, dressing up as Michael Jackson at company events. Zhang has kept a much lower profile(低调). ''Ma is a guy with many ideas. He is very, very creative, '' he said in an interview. ''I'm the guy who always wants to put my foot on the ground. '' The young chairperson, however, has never wanted a routine job or a predictable life—a message he gave to students during a 2016 event at his alma mater(母校).

Zhang now has his sights set on helping Alibaba further develop its New Retail strategy, which looks to combine online shopping. ''We strongly believe that brick-and-mortar stores(实体店) can create huge value, but their model needs to be upgraded,'' Zhang said at a conference last year.

The UK has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities in the world. But to those who are new to it all, it can be something confusing.

October is usually the busiest month in the academic calendar (学习日程表). Universities have something called Freshers’ Week for their newcomers. It’s a great opportunity to make new friends, join lots of clubs and settle into university life.

However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be uneasy. Where do you start? Who should you make friends with? Which clubs should you join?

Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you are worried about starting their university social life. So just take it all in slowly. Don’t rush into anything that you’ll regret for the next three years.

Here are some top tips from past students on how to survive Freshers’ Week:

·Make sure you know something about the British social customs. Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.

·Sometimes cups of tea or even sweets can give you a head start in making friends.

·The more active you are, the more likely you’ll be to meet new people than if you’re someone who never leaves his rooms.

·Keep your door open when you’re in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you’re friendly.
