Obsession, luck and patience: the success of the Internet boss

Entrepreneurship is now a fashionable topic. Sometimes chatting, suddenly a friend rushed in with a full face excitedly, it must be engaged in entrepreneurial tide.

During this time, my most important job is also with the entrepreneurial bosses chat, some of them have been successful, some still running on the entrepreneurial road.

Listening to the bosses talking about the stories and suggestions of entrepreneurship is also a very interesting thing. These days, turning over the interview records of this time, looking back at the way they have gone, some of the words are very practical. Today a simple collation, to the excitement of the Buddy some reference.

Tom Net CEO Wang Reilei

When Enet as a journalist, he interviewed Wang Reilei many times. This boss is good, often mouth without a few of the company Confidential, their PR are anxious to fire around. Outspoken so very recruit reporter like. Later, after the Sina, the concern to some possible competition relations, but less interview. But when I saw him, I was still very happy to say it without thinking. That day, I carefully put forward the idea of an interview, he is happy to say, come on, do not care what you are Sina I am Tom, we are all working. Want to talk about everything, pick his words on the day:

I think, if for the money to do a company, as soon as possible to set up a company, is completely unable to succeed, can say that the probability of success is zero. To be an internet company is to have passion, passion, interest, and work to succeed. So I think that the most important thing is to get down to the business you are interested in quickly, this is very important, rather than the stench of how to quickly make money, how to sell the company's own profits. It is a bad phenomenon that the young people who are doing the internet now have a lot of purposes impure, they want to sell the company to make money.

I heard a friend say, the internet start-up period determines your fate, you make a new internet company, within two weeks the formation of the team determines your Internet company's personality, culture and future development ability. So the lineage of every emerging internet company can be determined within two weeks, and your team's build determines your lineage and future odds.

I think the business of making money is inseparable from the support of partners, like the Chinese have a sentence, "Go out by friends", whether the Internet or wireless internet, there is an ecological value chain, there are different partners, different winning mode, to promote the development of the industrial chain. So I think, in the field of Internet, partners are very important. In particular, you are the Internet, but you have to rely on traditional media, the traditional mode of development. Just like Jay Chou, if Jay Chou is not red, can the text of his music make money?

Air Network chairman and CEO Zhou Yun Fan

Zhou Yun sails, also do not need to introduce too much. The Big Boy, and Wang Reilei, Wang Yan they personally are good, how many small meaning. I consulted him on the question of how to find an entrepreneurial partner.

Yang Ning and I should say it was a bit of a fate, and we met in September 97, the first day of the Stanford report. Because there is a department of Chinese students are not many, I see he can speak a little Chinese, and look like the Chinese, they chatted, and then met. He has been in the United States for more than 10 years, also have a car, you can drive over, I just went to do not know anything, and go out to buy food with him, so is to first know, have a friendship, and then do something. For example, we give the Hope Project "China Project Hope 98 North America Love Action", when I was executive committee chairman, there are more than 40 university students will participate, including Harvard, Yale and other universities have participated in, Yang Ning also did some of the web site, because he is learning technology. We have classmates friendship, fighting friendship. Come back together to start a business, is because he wants to start a business, I want to go home, Chen a boat want to do the Internet, so we started a business, we have such a foundation. We had some good times in Chinaren. In the acquisition of the time and in Sohu, we have spent a period of the most difficult days, when the Internet is the most pessimistic time. Everyone thinks that the internet is a matter of burning money, we spent more miserable time together, and then went to the air network to start a business together, this experience is also fate, a lot of feelings and trust is based on this.

Many entrepreneurial partners, I also said, why a lot of failure? The same is true in the United States, where partners end up collapsing, like a building's foundation, if not playing well, there is a disagreement, the company can not operate. Some people follow this person, those who follow the person, and finally fall apart, in fact, so do not work together, preferably a person to do. If the partnership, must be a trust, and who is the CEO is the most important, he must have the heart to accommodate others. For example, Yang Ning in the Australian CEO Forum to say a few words, I will be very happy, because he does not represent himself, but on behalf of all of us. The key to having a partner is to judge according to their own conditions, if you do not have partners, looking at others have to look at them without thinking about their ability, this is very bad.

I think the success of entrepreneurship is two points, one is business model, the spirit of perseverance. The business model I'm talking about is not the same as the business model you immediately understand in your mind, which is to suit your business model, that I can do it, or Wang Yan can do it, but we have a lot of resources, and you're a college graduate, and you don't have the resources to do the things we can do, When you do not have the advantage of things, you will inevitably fail. Although I am 3 months later than you, but I have the resources, I can get up at a draught. So you do this thing when you want to, first, you are not rich, no money will not be able to do; second, you are not the most suitable, if you find that you are not suitable for this matter, then do not do, because it will certainly be defeated. So from the business model, for the entrepreneurial people, whether the next generation of Internet or mobile phone, must think clearly is not suitable for you to do, and then you do it, so your chances of success will be greater. There are a lot of new applications, and a lot of new things, but not necessarily yours. For example, Sina uses its portal, funds and other advantages to kill in, you may have done the first two years, are quickly lost. For startups, it is important to find the next application, but it is more important to see whether you have the advantage to do, when you look for the time, you must persevere to do.

Chen Yizhou, chairman of Thousand Oak Group

Chen a boat Needless to say, a few acquisitions, Chen Yizhou recently very happy. Also wanted to let the mop go public. That day, I talked to him about entrepreneurship, but also the topic of MOP listing.
In fact, what you just mentioned is a mop listing, Chinaren is also a merger, they are in particular from investors, from the company's founder's point of view, they have a concept, he holds the original can not circulate the stock, suddenly can be circulated, get the value of recognition, from you can hardly estimate its value, into a concept that can actually be set up. For everyone, this is very important, especially for the input, he put a dollar into the company, the real end of a dollar into 10 dollars out, there must be mergers and acquisitions such an event.

But for those of you who really want to have an entrepreneurial ambition, and who really wants to do something, like my boat, mergers and acquisitions, it's just a small milestone in the company's very long path, and it's only the beginning. We may be concerned about the listing, we are concerned about the company for a long time.

This wave of entrepreneurship is more rational, the company is more rational, rational investors are also relatively strong. I think the degree of innovation is larger than before, the previous business is basically copying foreign business model to do, and now a lot of entrepreneurship is to take China's unique national conditions, foreign good things may not be applicable to China, so that innovation is more difficult.

To these new and innovative small enterprises, they face two factors, on the one hand, the market expands rapidly, this is their opportunity. On the other hand, the successful company is a very strong competitor, said Sina, In fact, there are many opportunities in WEB2.0, your video is very good, you can also seize these opportunities, not only new companies to seize these opportunities, if the new company innovation, Wang always said, Sina will continue to innovate, there are opportunities. For small companies, on the one hand, its opportunities are good, on the one hand, the face of these "giants" are not to be trifled with.
