Although the net was set up just over a year ago, it has become the most sticky community website in the country at present. By July 2007, the number of registered people reached 3.5 million. This is a dedicated to college students of the community website, the real name is one of its characteristics. But how can such a community site stand out? How to keep those who are still in the restless period of the footsteps of college students? The net is also a community website that accepts venture capital, what is the influence to its development? Recently, the reporter with many of the emerging community Web site questions interviewed the president of the network.
When it comes to the grid, most people relish is, more than a year since the real-name system, where the "friends" not only the name of the school is true, personal name is also true, which has been popular for more than 10 years of the network with the name of virtualization is a challenge for the Occupy network itself is also a challenge.
Zhang Fan said: "Network development to now, has been very different from the past, initially people out of curiosity, for the use of virtual name to send a post, feel very interesting; nowadays, people increasingly regard the network as a contact tool or a resting spiritual home, the real-name system can help people solve the problem of the contact caused by the virtual network is not smooth, Also can help the netizen in the work and the life, lets them in the Internet process obtains the more real useful information. ”
Just like a person occasionally to attend a masked ball, feel very happy also very exciting, and mask wear long, also can feel bored. Therefore, the recent network began to popular real-name system, has been able to do with the level of virtual network coexistence. To have overseas study experience of Zhang Fan, after doing a billion-mail, because has been dedicated to education field, also for his accumulation of campus resources, so a few years ago, the structure of the network has been out, and to do the real name of the campus community site at that time laid the foundation, but also because there is a good demand and Zhang fan himself for many years of unremitting efforts, In the end, the net attracted Sequoia China's capital injection.
One of the partners of Sequoia China Huanderfonds is also called Zhang Fan, in many years ago and occupy the net Zhang fan understanding, once again met, as an investor to understand the entrepreneur sail even in the dotcom bubble that a period of darkness, has been doing a solid email situation, immediately decided to inject capital into the net. And the Chinese Sequoia China's capital injection less than a year, the Occupy network has surpassed all rivals, become the first flow of traffic to the university campus site, but also become the most sticky community website.
As an investor, Zhang Fan said to the media: "He is the kind we want to find with the Sequoia DNA, tireless, persistent, never-ending entrepreneurs, not for the trend of movement, down-to-earth to their dream efforts." This may be an entrepreneur you will never meet again for 10 years. ”
As an entrepreneur, Zhang Fan said to the China Modern Enterprise newspaper: VCs are not as bad as they think, maybe some people in the country have some misunderstanding about VCs, but for us, the venture capital will make our enterprises more stable and better, of course, we are the most willing to invest in VC Because we are in front of the development, our creativity is the newest. ”

Some people say that the enterprise is like a flock, how to make the strength of the flock to play to the extreme, is what every enterprise is looking forward to, but also every enterprise management desire. As an enterprise management, the biggest challenge is how to develop or practice a new management model, how the most effective and fastest to improve their leadership skills. This will be a decisive factor in the success of the business, both now and in the future.
