Nowayads it's not all about the ''visible money''. And it's also not only about Alibaba. The same way a lot of big online stores work like taobao and tmall. That's the business model.

No. You don't need a business plan.
However, that does not mean you don't need to understand all the elements of what is required to put a business together and make it work. Yout still need to be able to understand the problem you are solving for customers, how to make your product/service, how your customers will find you, how you are unique, how everything is financed, etc.
Having a business plan is useful for finding funding and proving to others that you know what you are doing.
However, it can simply be bullet points and pertinent details. The best one I've seen was just 5 pages (and yes, they did get funding from Business Angels off the back of it).

Your business strategy is brought to life by creating a business plan. Business strategies are essential for your long-term direction and success.
There are many different business strategies for a small business and some of the common ones are:
In order to develop the best business strategy ideas, you must do a comprehensive market research, study your competitors, utilise new technologies and take inspiration from big brands or small businesses from other industries. If in doubt, hire business advisors and coaches to refine your business strategies.
A typical business plan projects between 3 to 5 years ahead and is constantly being updated, refined and reviewed to reflect the current position, direction and goals. There are several common elements in a business plan.
The most important question when it comes to whether business coaching is worth it is, "Is business coaching worth it for you?" What exactly are you looking to gain and how much time, money and energy are you willing to spend to get where you want to be?
There are many reasons why small business owners get coaching services. Here are just some of the reasons:
If you said yes to any of the above (or you may have your own personal reasons), then you should consider hiring a business coach.
