The Most Valuable Experience Of Chinese Internet Entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurship is a popular topic nowadays.

Sometimes chatting and chatting, suddenly a buddy burst in with excitement, that must have been the tide of entrepreneurship.

During this period of time, my most important job is to chat with the eldest entrepreneurs. Some of them have been successful and some are still on the road of entrepreneurship.

It's also interesting to listen to these stories and suggestions.

These days, I can turn back the interview record of this time and go back to see their way. Some of them are very practical.

Today, I'll sort it out briefly and give some references to your excited friends.

Wang Leilei, a web site at CEO, interviewed Wang Leilei several times when he was a journalist at ENET.

This boss is good. He often keeps secret company secrets, and their PR are fighting around.

Straightforward and quick, so the reporter likes it very much.

Later, when he arrived at sina, he was worried about some possible competitive relations, but he had fewer interviews.

But when I saw him, I was very happy to say it without thinking.

That day, I carefully proposed the idea of interviewing. He said with great pleasure, "come on, don't bother what you are Sina, I am TOM, we are all working."

Anything you want to talk about.

He said: "if I make a company to earn money, I will not succeed in making a company as soon as possible. I can say that the probability of success is zero.

To be a Internet Co, first of all is to be enthusiastic, passionate, interested and do something to succeed.

So I think the most important thing is to quickly expand the business you are interested in, which is very important, not how to make money quickly and how to sell the company's own profits.

Many young people who are young in the Internet are trying to sell their companies to make money, which is a bad phenomenon.

I heard a friend say that the beginning of the Internet determines your destiny. You are a new Internet Co. Within two weeks, the formation of a team determines your Internet Co's character, culture and future development ability.

So every new Internet Co's lineage can be determined within two weeks. Your team building determines your lineage and future chances.

I think the business of making money is inseparable from the support of partners. Just as China has a saying, "go out on friends", whether it is the Internet or wireless Internet, has an ecological value chain, and there are different partners and different win-win modes, which will facilitate the development of the industrial chain.

So I think partners are very important in the Internet field.

In particular, you are the Internet, but you have to rely on the traditional media, the traditional mode of development.

Just like Jay Chou, if Jay Chou is not red, can his short messages of music earn money?

Zhou Yunfan, chairman and CEO of air network, Zhou Yunfan, does not need to introduce too much.

This big boy is very good with Wang Leilei and Wang Yan.

I consulted him about how to find entrepreneurial partners.

Yang Ning and I should say that there are some predestined relationships. On the first day of Standford's report, in September of 97, we met.

Because there were not many Chinese students in that department. I saw him speak Chinese, and looked like a Chinese.

He stayed in the United States for more than 10 years. He also had a car and could drive over. I just went to know nothing and went out to buy vegetables with him.

For example, we gave hope project to "China hope project 98 North American love action". At that time, I was the chairman of the Executive Committee, and more than 40 university students participated, including Harvard, Yale and other universities. Yang Ning also did some website work, because he studied technology.

We have classmates' friendship and fighting friendship.

Coming back to start a business together is because he wants to start a business. I want to go back home. Chen Yizhou wants to do the Internet, so he started a business together. We have such a foundation.

At Chinaren, we had some wonderful times.

At the time of merger and acquisition and in the Sohu, we had a rough time, when the Internet was the worst.

We all think that the Internet is burning money. We spent the worse time together, and then went to the air network to start a business together. This experience is also a predestination. Many feelings and trust are based on this.

I have also talked about why many failures have happened.

In America, too, partners end up collapsing. It's like the foundation of a building. If it doesn't work well, there will be differences, and the company will not be able to operate.

Some people follow this person, those people follow that person, and finally fall apart. In fact, don't do it together. It's better to do it alone.

If you have a partnership, you must have faith, and who is CEO is the most important. He must have a heart to accommodate others.

For example, Yang Ning will say a few words at CEO forum in Australia, and I will be very happy because he is not representing himself, but representing all of us.

Whether a partner has the most critical judgement is based on his own conditions. If you don't have a partner, if you look at others, you will look for yourself without considering your ability, which is very bad.

I think the success of entrepreneurship is two points, one is the business mode, the other is the spirit of perseverance.

The business model I said is different from the business model you immediately understand, that is, to fit your business model, that is, I can do this, or Wang Yan can do that, but we have many resources, and you are a university graduate. If you do not have these resources, you can not do what we can do. When you do not have the advantage, you will fail.

Although I am 3 months behind you, I have resources, and I can rise at once.

So when you do this, think first, if you are rich, you can not do without money; second, are you the most suitable one? If you find that you are not at all suitable for this matter, then do not do it, because it will surely fail.

So in terms of business mode, for entrepreneurs, whether they are the next generation Internet or mobile phones, we must be clear about whether they are suitable for you, and then you do them again, so that your chances of success will be greater.

New applications are many, new things are also many, but not necessarily yours.

For example, Sina used its portals, funds and other advantages to kill, you might have done it for two years, and it was soon annihilated.

For an enterprise, it is important to find an application, but it is more important to see if you have the advantage to do it. When you recognize it, do it with perseverance.

Chen Yizhou, chairman of the 1000 oak group, Chen Yizhou has to say, several acquisitions. Chen Yizhou is very HAPPY recently.

I also want to let mop go public.

That day, I talked with him about entrepreneurship and the market for cat pads.

In fact, the market you mentioned just now, and the merger and acquisition of Chinaren are also from the point of view of investors, especially from the founder of the company. They have a concept. The stock that he has not been able to circulate in his hand can suddenly flow to Tonghua and get the recognition of value. It is difficult to estimate its value from the point of view, so that it can become a real cash in concept.

For everyone, this is very important, especially for the investment people, he put a dollar into the company, the real end of a piece of money into ten yuan to take out, there must be an event such as mergers and acquisitions.

But for those who really want to start a business and really want to do something, like Chen Yizhou, M & A and listing, it is just a milestone in the company's long road and is just beginning.

We may be concerned about the listing, we are concerned about this company for a longer time.

This wave of entrepreneurship is more rational and rational, and investors are more rational.

I think the degree of innovation is bigger than before. The previous business basically copied the foreign business models, and now many of them are going to take China's unique national conditions. The good things abroad are not necessarily applicable to China, so it is more difficult to innovate.

For these new and innovative small businesses, they are faced with two factors. On the one hand, the market is expanding rapidly. This is their chance.

On the other hand, a successful company is a very strong competitor. That is to say, Sina has many opportunities in WEB2.0. Your video is also doing very well. You can also seize these opportunities. Not only the new company can seize these opportunities, but if the new company continues to innovate, Wang also said that sina will continue to innovate and have opportunities.

For small companies, on the one hand, their opportunities are good, and on the one hand, they are not easy to deal with.

Chen Qiyu, the former CEO of Chunghwa Internet, talked with me about the most popular rumors of his leaving.

However, when he left, I finally failed to call his cell phone.

In this way, I find that I am not a good reporter.

I feel that there are many friends, including myself, who have created a career without any detours. There are some detours that must be left. If I do not go, I do not know how it is. It is part of learning.

I think the most important thing is to understand what the purpose of entrepreneurship is.

What is the purpose of doing business?

Ultimately, it's for profit.

In the boom, people often say that there is no concept of profit base. We should be careful. Finally, we must think that this is a business, and your input will ultimately be output.

If you have this assurance, you will be able to make an empty dream, or you will never find this dream at all.

Ma Xiaolin and Xu Fei are the chief executives of CHINABBS and the operation director of search network.

It was introduced by a friend.

Later, CHINABBS and Ma Xiaolin wrote into the silver age of sina.

They are the first to start a business.

They only talked about worries: Ma Xiaolin: I said perceptual knowledge, because after all, I did not enter the company for a long time. Frankly speaking, I am not particularly familiar with the Internet.

I think, when the company develops to a certain point, it needs to break through some technical bottlenecks and talent bottlenecks, because it is obvious that the cause is developing very fast, but the demand for talents, especially the core talents, is very large.

I am also worried about whether I can find a good model for sustainable development and adjust according to the market changes.

Xu Fei: in the course of development, I am worried about the main problem is our competitors, I am not worried that it will be faster than we are, but worried that they are slower than us.

In the market, including my competitors and I am actually a friend of mine, we will often study competitors' products and hope to grow with them in the market, so that we can inspire each other and inspire each other.

Because helping yourself grow is your opponent.

Chen Huimin (Chen Huimin) is one of the founders of the former HSI Hutong Hutong.

Nowadays, the founder and Ma Xiaolin of a group of Hutong hutongs are in CHINABBS, while Chen Huimin is concerned about a wide range of companies, including even real estate and chemical companies.

After returning to IT, he made several companies, and one of them kept secret, unwilling to say no to me.

Another is a classified search engine specially designed to rent information.

I heard him talk about the difference between before and after starting a business: (I) did not earn a penny from the website when I was doing the HSI Temple Hutong. At that time, we used software to raise the Hutong Hutong. At that time, we thought this way should be right, because the atmosphere of the Internet was so.

But I think if a website can't make a profit, then there is no need to register. If a netizen does not pay, he can also find a substitute.

If a website does not make a profit, it has no value.

I am talking about a commercial website. If it's blog or personal website, it's not in my consideration.

Now, it is even more rational to start business, because Internet investors are more rational and more mature. He does not ask when you must achieve profits and when to go public.

The atmosphere is much better now than in 2000, when people were thinking about going public.

Therefore, it is a very good time for entrepreneurs.

Dai Furui and Zhuang Chenchao, who are one of the founders of the former shark sports world, are now working together to create a "travel destination" search engine.

I chatted with them two times, and I wrote a long article into the silver age series.

I am very satisfied with this article and found a beautiful angle.

Their entrepreneurial perspective is also personal experience: to start a company, they must meet three conditions:
