“When a poor man becomes rich, every time he sees you, he sees the memories of his humiliating past. The first thing on his schedule would be to wipe away that past.”
Perhaps this is why, traditionally, divorce wasn't permitted if your wife had suffered alongside you before you made it big?
I was almost certain while reading it that it was some kind of reference/joke, but I looked all over the internet and couldn't find where it came from. But yeah, I am just as confused as you are
Oh, wait. Maybe it's "Yeah, okay, the British Empire collapsed even though everyone said it wouldn't, but that doesn't mean the same applies to Alibaba." Does that make sense?

But... but the British Empire *did* collapse. Some time ago. Long before Alibaba was founded.

Maybe? I just can't tell.
