Classic record

classic quotations

If it is something you want to do, it may be difficult for others, but you like it very much, so you won't feel bitter. I will be 28 when I start my own business. For me, the purpose of starting a business is not to be my own boss. I hope to have a platform and an environment where I can control some resources and create a new product and service.

I don't care what others think, and I don't care what I give up. I like "I was born useful, spinning a thousand pieces of silver, come back!" " . When I left Founder, I went out with a smile. ...

If there is any change, it is that I have changed Yahoo China from a so-called foreign company into a startup company with entrepreneurial passion;

week

I changed several strategies for Yahoo. The first strategy is localization, the second strategy is focusing on e-mail and search, and the third strategy is entrepreneurial passion and entrepreneurial culture.

How Google, Amazon and Microsoft do in China depends entirely on their localization;

Selling 372 1 to Yahoo, I can choose to leave, but for me, if I use the platform provided by Yahoo, I can have a bigger platform to work on it for a year or two. For me, I should be able to learn a lot. I regarded Yahoo as a challenge at that time, and it was not without vanity. Yahoo has changed several general managers, but it can't be done. If I give you a shock in a year or two, it is really my personal success. Yahoo is like a paratrooper in Brothers. Our task is to break through.

To do Yahoo's business, for me, I have more confidence in my ability. Conversely, I can also prove to the industry that I am not a person born to be a small company. I give a lesson to Yahoo, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, eBay and all multinational companies. I want to tell them that multinational companies should not feel that they are awesome. Google has studied many examples of unsuccessful or successful localization in China, so it hired Kai-fu Lee this time. I am determined to do it myself in China and set up a localized team in China, which means I agree that there should be a long-term development in China. The purpose of using Kai-Fu Lee is clear, not to say that Kai-Fu has mastered any core technology and needs to use this technology. Even if Li Kaifu doesn't have to do any research and development work for him;

When people ask me when to leave, there are always rumors that I am leaving. I want to tell the truth loudly. I invite everyone to tell you that everything I do can be put on the table. Men do things aboveboard, I don't think I am a modest gentleman;

For young people, for a new generation who want to start a business, they should still be idealistic and not be confused by materialized things. I have a higher full-time salary than any other company, or whose reputation sounds more satisfying to vanity;

Man's success is to be able to do what he wants. Many people can't do this freedom. Many people have to work in order to survive. When I was young, I had the opportunity to do what I wanted to do. I might take risks and give up a lot of things, but it was all worthwhile.

Although I am a native of China, I have dealt with hundreds of venture capitalists and many multinational companies in the past few years. I know how to help them accumulate knowledge. I am also very good at the stage of a startup company with five to five hundred people, and I will encounter many problems in the middle, but I know how to solve these problems. At this time, it is also a kind of entrepreneurship, and if this kind of entrepreneurship can really help some companies succeed, how do you know that there will be no QQ among them, another Shanda, another Sohu and Sina?

Our participation in the form of angel investor consultants will help many entrepreneurs. I always think that I am not so grateful to IDG for giving me $250,000, which is a small sum, but I am very grateful to him for giving me money when I was most in need of money. Secondly, I want to thank IDG for giving me a lot of help in grasping major decisions and daily management of enterprises in the past six years.

I see that 2.0 is obsessed with the concept of hype, and its understanding of many issues is superficial. It discusses many strange foreign words and abbreviations, instead of considering how to combine them with the reality of the Internet in China;

Speaking a few nouns makes you feel that you are the pioneer of WEB2.0, and you can achieve great things. This is a joke. A truly successful person, do you ask Ma if he has time to write a blog? Does Zhang Chaoyang have time to blog?

Some of the things we see now are simply copied from the United States and China-like. Bring the American model here, but the Internet still needs local innovation in China. Therefore, innovation must be combined with the reality of China;

What was Google's strategy when no one knew about it? This is the most important thing you should pay attention to when learning Google.

week

Some "successful" people look down on individual webmasters. Every one is made by a small website. Why forget them when they grow up? Personal webmasters may do false traffic and do some gray things. Everyone should give them some guidance to help them develop from the state of personal savage heroes to the stage of doing business. I suggest that individual webmasters talk to venture capitalists and let them do it according to the standard practice;

When Ma Hua Teng was doing QQ, there were only a few people. At that time, 300,000 people wanted to sell QQ, but if they couldn't sell it, they had to do it themselves. Sina was a sports chat room in Sitong Li Fang, and Netease was also a personal community in Ding Lei.

Someone on the Internet scolded me and attacked 372 1, but I feel that as long as I really do something that hurts users, I don't know how to face these difficulties when facing all kinds of difficulties and obstacles.

Our income is not as good as that of a game company in Chen Tianqiao, but these industries we are looking for will promote the whole traditional industry economy in China, and this value will not be less than that of any China Internet company;

It's not difficult to find money in China, but one of your ideas doesn't mean a business venture. Tell me a better idea, for example, I told you an idea today, why doesn't Sina buy Google? That's a good idea. Does Sina become the boss when Sina buys Google? Where did you get the money? How to integrate Google?

Creativity is not important, what matters is team, execution and experience. The resume of this team is very important. Will it be conceited? Will you have the ability to learn? When you meet someone who has never done anything, you are too arrogant to look down on anyone. Sina and Sohu are too arrogant, and QQ can surpass them. What can you prove that you can surpass them? Put forward your plan. Start-ups should not talk too much, find a field and solve a problem in a down-to-earth manner. Solving problems is recognized and welcomed;

Don't worry, let's see what Yahoo, Microsoft and Google will do in the future. As long as it can be localized, I don't think local companies have much advantage in the search field. Compared with Google, Baidu has no financial advantage, no brand advantage and no technical advantage, including Chinese. In fact, Google Chinese is also very good, but Google didn't pay much attention to China in the past. Without these three advantages, how can Baidu better meet the needs of netizens in China and respond quickly in some localized quality work? This is faster than Google and Yahoo, and it focuses on Chinese;

It unswervingly followed this path, and the result was remarkable and very successful. But first, the ancients said that in times of peace, remind Baidu to carefully study the practices of other companies;

We entrepreneurs should calm down and not pin our fate on a hype or an idea. Nowadays, enterprises are striving for the market bit by bit. Many people come to me to talk about investment. Although he has a brilliant idea, I can't invest in such a person. Even if he gets the money, he can't do it. There are always people who think that Yahoo has many problems, and Sina also has many problems. It seems that 372 1 has achieved what kind of success with one of his ideas. In fact, these big companies can't succeed if they use their ideas. Even if you have a good idea, if you don't have rich operating experience and don't understand the history and characteristics of this enterprise, it may not be successful to move to Sina and Yahoo.

My feeling about internet products is that "it is better to break a finger than to hurt a finger". In the product direction, we must first learn to do subtraction, not addition. First of all, you should find the perfect time, otherwise you will do everything, and it will not stand out in the end, and there is no distinct selling point;
