Mr Chen: The only regret is that Chinese do not learn

Mr Chen (Steve Chen), the founder of YouTube, suddenly exploded in red. When referring to the most regrettable things, said that because the second grade of primary school from China's Taiwan region immigrants to the United States, so the Chinese did not learn, "if possible, I would like to go home to the third grade." ”

Since last Saturday (9) to Taiwan to participate in the "Internet Summit Forum", Mr Chen trip full. This (11) morning specially returned to the alma mater Meditation Primary School and 40 students to learn to talk about, mention of the most profound impression of life in the hometown of three things, the whole of the Mr Chen in English to talk about the first time in Chinese pronunciation said "Bento" two words, and then it will be useful to his infinite 99 multiplication table, as well as he thinks the happiest time in primary school lunch.

"The only regret is that Chinese do not learn, and now only read phonetic symbols ㄅㄆㄇㄈ," Mr Chen said.

In the afternoon meeting with the media, Mr Chen said he did not think it was because of the later emigration to the United States, to let their achievements shine.

"It has nothing to do with growing up, because even in most parts of the United States, it is hard to motivate people to succeed." The key is Silicon Valley, "Mr Chen said. He said he met the president of the University of Illinois at the time of his graduation to discuss why Mark Anderson, who was designing Netscape, and he had to wait until after graduation to become famous in the San Francisco Bay Area, "where the Silicon Valley integrates too many elements (ingredients), Many people have the same goal, that is, to use technology to change the world, which opened my eyes. ”

The same background as Jerry Yang, who founded Yahoo, who immigrated to the United States before finishing elementary school, then became a Chinese light because of the booming Internet. Mr Chen, who was born in 1978 and emigrated with his parents at age eight, was thinking of setting up a video-sharing platform when he was tempted to share a video via e-mail, but failed because the file was too big. He co-founded YouTube in 2005 with friends Chad Hurley: "Tube" is used in the United States as a TV, plus "You", is the user's TV channel.

At the beginning of the creation of Mr Chen credit card loans to the YouTube bandwidth and back-end server costs, for the only time he bought a house, the days have been stretched. Until last year, when Google, the global search engine, bought YouTube for 1.65 billion dollars, Mr Chen became a billionaire.

"I never thought I would be famous, and I would keep working hard," Mr Chen said. The reason for YouTube's success, he says, is that he previously had PayPal experience.

"That makes me very aware of what the average consumer wants, and what the interaction mechanism between consumers and consumers (C2C) is," Mr Chen said
