Tired Zhou Hongyi wants to leave behind the scenes as a military engineer

In the Internet field, the concept of "young people" seems more harsh. Recently, on the sofa of a small tea seat in the Beijing CBD, Zhou Hongyi said with a slight fatigue: "I am not able to start a business at this age. Take a rest and see what potential small teams are. I will invest in them and guide their development. I will do this in the future just like IDG did to me ." At this time, he is only 35 years old.
On June 23, 3721, Yahoo China President Zhou Hongyi announced that he would leave the company by the end of June, with tens of millions of dollars worth selling companies. "The roles of different age groups are naturally different." in the future, Zhou Hong wants to work as a financial and military engineer behind the scenes of small business startups. "let them grow like 3721 of the year ".
Born to be a boss
On the evening of July 22, July 13, Yahoo China held the opening ceremony for the "Yahoo China media Western summer camp" to depart on the next day at the Kerry Center in Beijing CBD. The staff told everyone: "Today's old week has important things to tell everyone, don't be late ." At six o'clock, Zhou Hongyi took the stage: "I will leave office at the end of August !" Zhou Hong said that for personal reasons, he still wants to start a business.
There are several versions of related speculation soon: "Zhou Hongyi is going to serve as the president of Google in China", and Google, eager to enter the Chinese market, is missing a leading figure, zhou is obviously a very suitable candidate: "Zhou Hongyi is preparing to start a business to establish a blog website." Some people even identified a small website just launched: "Yahoo China is not doing well, zhou Hongyi was forced to step down. "otherwise, why should I leave such a good position?
"When I entered Yahoo China, Yang and I agreed to take Yahoo China's business for one or two years. In fact, this can be said to be a sale of 3721 after-sales services of companies ." In November 2003, Zhou Hongyi "married" Yahoo at a price of $3721 for the 0.12 billion company he founded. In March 2004, Zhou Hongyi was appointed as the president of Yahoo China, responsible for formulating the company's development strategy and implementation.
At that time, Yahoo China, which had been established for four years, had been experiencing poor performance and lacked vitality. Zhou Hong said: "It is a hard bone ." In June 2004, Yahoo's only independent search portal "one search" was released in China. In July of the same year, Yahoo took the lead in expanding its free mailbox to 1 GB in the Chinese market. At the end of that year, Yahoo Mail ranked among the top three in China, and its search traffic in China surpassed that of Google.
Zhou Hongyi believes that his "after-sales service" has been well done. Besides, I am not a professional manager. "according to common people, I am born to be a boss "!
Drop the front teeth of the integrated company
After Zhou Hongyi was in charge of Yahoo China, he joined Yahoo! on November 3721. Before that, Yahoo China had no more than 50 people, so Zhou simply moved Yahoo China from its original China Tower to the Heqiao Building in 3721, so that outsiders had doubts, did Yahoo China collect 3721, or did 3721 swallow Yahoo China?
