Writing exercise

Last week I took a business trip to Hangzhou to attend a pitch meeting in Alibaba Ant Finance. This was the 1st time I went to Alibaba zone after I heard it many times. Alibaba group is one of the top-ranking companies in China. Their employee’s pride was obvious because everyone looked confidence and happiness. It is true that who should be proud of being one of Ali.
All Ali’s office buildings are in a same area, they have their own dining hall, and KFC, Family Mart are in there as well. You could also find all the equipment there are high-tech and user-friendly.
I think a successful company should focus on not only their business but also their employees since the employees are company’s fundamental element.
