World Interconnection Zhang Xiangning: Entrepreneurship to learn to subvert

A person whether great or ordinary, as long as he conforms to his nature, found himself really like to do things, and one of the things he likes to do perfect, he has an unbreakable home in the world.

The Internet world is famous to be early

Zhang Xiangning, Chairman and CEO of the World Interconnection Technology Group. In the Internet industry, found the most suitable for their own areas. From the earliest self-made, and his brother founded million nets, do domain name registration, hosting and other enterprise services, in order to spend the internet industry the coldest winter. Later, the annual tens profit; to two startups, he overturned the traditional "advertising", personalized service Precision Marketing "narrow business", attracted Sumitomo Mitsui, Jaic and MiH venture capital, he put the company to expand the integration of the world interconnection; 2007, Zhang Xiangning, who is unwilling to be an entrepreneur, has been voted the most active angel investor in China for several small investment projects. He hasn't been out of the internet since.

In the age of dropping out of business, the 23-year-old Zhang Xiangning and his brother, Tsinghua University, graduated from chairman Zhang to build a joint million network company, or the internet has just emerged 1995 years. From an intellectual family, Zhang Xiangning earlier than his peers, 5-Year-old Primary School, 16-Year-old into the Beijing Normal University physics department, because of the passion for physics, Einstein is his student age idol. "I am a person living in my own thoughts, this thinking makes me feel richer, life is more wonderful." I love the questions that many people don't think about, such as the origins of the universe, such as why the smallest particles in the world have no intrinsic structure. "It is this kind of" unusual "hobby that made Zhang Xiangning, a 17-year-old author of the Theory of relativity, highly praised by professors at the Center for Theoretical Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The road to life is smooth sailing. He was supposed to go abroad for further study because his father was ill and was delayed.

Later, Father good, but Zhang Xiangning came to life's first crossroads, facing the choice of where to go. However, Zhang Xiangning seems to know exactly what he wants. Initially he chose to enter the foreign companies, from the ordinary staff to start, accumulated a lot of business operations experience. In 1993, he made the first 1 million of his life in international trade. The next year, he decided to start his own business. Soon, he and his brother, fascinated by the Internet, founded the million nets. Zhang Xiangning has served as Chairman and CEO of the company and has completed two rounds of financing from the United States International Data Group (IDG) and the US new bridge investment. "I'm always on my way to life," he said. In such an environment, I will choose to create the environment rather than adapt to the environment. ”

Entrepreneurship is willing to take risks

From the two-storey building of the earliest agricultural Academy of Business, to know Spring building corner of the writing room, and then to the Xizhimen Shougang International Building 17, following the Zhang Xiangning for many years brother described him: not only a cool head, but also has maintained a full vitality, as if tireless, 35-year-old working mentality remains " Every day is Monday, and more crucially, he has the entrepreneurial spirit and is willing to take risks. It is precisely because of this, so that this year only 35-Year-old Zhang Xiangning, three degrees to get venture capital. Early million nets, and later the world Interconnection, Zhang Xiangning total contact with seven or eight of the venture, seriously talked about 4, and Japan Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance contact for more than a year. The process later provided the impetus for his easy mastery of the capital markets.

Zhang Xiangning appearance, wearing a pair of glasses, speak also gentle, but like adventure and a little rebellious, from the beginning of students, he is a person who knows the fate of the self. The face of the college entrance Examination, Peking University and the choice of BNU, has already revealed the character of his, the initiative to give up like "Huangpu Military Academy" of Peking University Theoretical Physics Department, the reason is not willing to "waste a year of military training time." At the age of 18, Zhang Xiangning was dissatisfied with the boredom of college life and the "relative" slow pace of education, and decided to drop out and study abroad. Go abroad without fruit embark on the road of entrepreneurship, the development of a good million network or can not tie his "restless" heart, is because of this, only to achieve today's world interconnection. In this respect, Zhang Xiangning said: "Half of the dreams and wishes that I have pursued in my life have been achieved, and half of what I am striving for every day, one-third of what I believe to be true, One-third have been proved wrong, and One-third, I am continuing to confirm. ”

In his view, if a desperate undertaking, in the West or China's real understanding is not a real entrepreneurial spirit, but forced. The real entrepreneurial spirit is to innovate and not be content with your previous achievements, you feel you have greater things to do, and you are willing to take risks. At this time the chance of failure is very big, so only such a entrepreneurial spirit is commendable.

narrow ads on the web

After so many years on the internet, Zhang Xiangning can confidently say to the media: "I am one of the few people who understand the Internet business model the most." The Internet's greatest company began with Netscape, then Yahoo, then Amazon, and then ebay. Today there is no internet star that shines more than Google, it is not only a threat to Microsoft, but also defeated Yahoo, the previous great companies have faded, leaving only ebay and some luster. And what I thought a few years ago and now do, and Google think is the same, coincide, like-minded. And I still have a lot of things to believe that Google hasn't. ”

There must be one of the most suitable careers in the world, one that suits him best. Of course, in practice, he can find this field, engaged in such a cause, unavoidably will be subject to the objective situation constraints. Moreover, in a certain stage of life, a person must know what kind of person he is. Zhang Xiangning is a person who knows what to do in his field, what I want to do and do now is to subvert the traditional advertising "narrow", meaning "accurate" and "pay by effect", at this point, he and the media of Jiangnan spring has the same analogy. The difference between the two is the carrier differences. Zhang Xiangning's "narrow statement", summed up in a sentence: "At the right time and place, the right information to the right person." ”

Before the introduction of the narrow report, Zhang Xiangning prepared funds, investors once questioned him, "these things Google such companies will do," but Zhang Xiangning head also answered, "The key is when they do!" "Zhang Xiangning has been brewing for a narrow report since 2000, and in 2002, he publicly predicted that internet advertising would be largely a" ad "or" narrow ". For personal foresight, Zhang Xiangning that he is a "thoughtful and thoughtful person." ”
