Want to challenge themselves! Zackerberg speech full-show Chinese "video"

The still-iconic grey short-sleeved T-shirt and blue jeans, Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg, appeared yesterday at Shun Tak House, Tsinghua University's School of Economics and Management. To his surprise, Zuckerberg had a 20-minute conversation with the host in Chinese, and he spoke about China's innovations, Facebook's recruitment in China, and Facebook's future development ...

A student at the scene revealed that Zuckerberg appeared to greet more than 300 students in fluent Chinese. "We're crazy if he doesn't finish!" he said. The whole audience was in a manic state, "the student said excitedly.

However, what all the students and even Facebook staff would not have intended was that Zuckerberg spent the next few hours speaking in Chinese. A staff member of Tencent Financial disclosure, the company originally just hope that Zuckerberg simply said a few words in Chinese, to mobilize the atmosphere, did not think he "simply stop."

In addition, students indicated that there were 1/3 foreign students at the scene. Before the start of the event, many Chinese students find the foreign students in the field to discuss, for a moment if there is no understanding of the content to ask them to help translate. "But the scene is completely reversed and we have been translating for foreign students," he said.

Why do

"First, my wife is Chinese. She speaks Chinese at home and her grandmother only speaks Chinese. I want to talk to them. My wife and I decided to get married a few years ago. She was surprised that I asked her to teach me Chinese. Second, China is a great country, so I want to learn. Third, Mandarin is very difficult, I always speak English, but I like the challenge. ”

Mr Zuckerberg said he practiced every day despite his poor Chinese language.

During the visit to Tsinghua, Zuckerberg attended the meeting as a member of the Tsinghua Management Advisory Board.

"I am very concerned about education and I have done a lot of support in the United States." I hope that attending the Tsinghua Council will provide me with a good opportunity to learn and support Chinese education. ”

The School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University recently released a list of members of the Academic advisory board for 2014-2015. This year, the College advisory Board has added 3 new members, with 5 new successors. In addition to Zuckerberg, there are 2 new members, Mr. Carlos Brito, chief executive of Budweiser, Boreu, chairman of IBM's board of directors, president and Chief Executive Officer Rometty (Ginni Rometty).

What advice do

"I think the best company is not because the founders wanted to set up the company, but because the founders wanted to change the world. If you just want to set up a company, you will have a lot of ideas, but do not know which idea is the best, and ultimately affect the company's development. But conversely, if you want to change the world, have a good idea to start a business, so that you will set up a good company. ”

Zuckerberg used his Facebook experience to illustrate the point:

"2004 years ago, I wanted to contact the entire Harvard people. In fact, I always wanted to contact the whole world. When I started Facebook, we were happy to help students connect with the world. Other companies do not believe we can do this, but we believe that we now have 1.3 billion users. ”

Zuckerberg believes that the most important thing in the entrepreneurial process is not to give up. "You may have to make tough decisions, like dismissing some employees," he said. It is easy to give up, most will give up, and finally adhere to the minority. ”

Mr Zuckerberg has generally given the Chinese innovation Company A positive view:

"I think China has many of the most innovative companies. I had dinner with millet lei last night. Millet is very honest company, quickly developed, they have very good products, they are very cheap. I think millet will develop very quickly. In addition, Tencent's micro-letter is also very large, some Chinese use micro-letter and QQ. Taobao creates job opportunities. I think the Chinese have a lot of innovative companies. ”

Mr Zuckerberg said Facebook would be recruiting in China next year and that it had recruited 20 Chinese students last month.

"[In fact] we're already in China, we're helping Chinese companies grow foreign customers, Chinese companies are using Facebook Ads to connect the world, and Lenovo has sold new handsets in Indonesia with our ads." In addition, we want to help other countries in the world to connect China. There are also Facebook pages in Hangzhou and Qingdao. We work with the city to develop a page to share Chinese culture. ”

Zuckerberg argues that Facebook's challenge was once "mobile":

"In 2012, our biggest challenge may be that we need to turn Facebook into a mobile company." Not before, we grew very slowly in 2012, income grew slowly, and everyone was unhappy, but we (successfully) turned Facebook into a mobile company, and now we have 700 million users using Facebook on their phones. ”

For the future of Facebook, Zuckerberg believes that new technologies are needed to connect the world:

"Facebook is 10 years old this year, I asked what we should develop in the next decade, I think we have to develop three points: first, we want to connect the whole world, so we want to help all people use the Internet, second, we want to develop artificial intelligence, the third is all people with mobile phone, I believe that the next platform is virtual reality, Oculus is the first product, we hope that there are many other products. ”
