Xingdong: Blog China's four-year development curve write the pain and ecstasy of entrepreneurship, foresight and stupidity

Blog 7 Years of entrepreneurship, and constantly make detours, constantly making mistakes, constantly frustrated and hit the wall. Tuition fees are numerous and costly. The first two days have MBA to blog China as a case, analysis of anatomy. I gladly promised, and I said I could be completely honest and utter the ecstasy, the pain, the foresight and the stupidity.

From August 2002, I stumbled into a blog and started my most joyful and ecstatic time in my 10 years of Internet life. 3 years is not only the happiest time of the individual, but also the most enjoyable time. However, from 2002-2004, in the 3 years of no understanding of the blog, we have maintained a high rate of growth, whether it is 3 months to double the flow of continuous growth, or users and readers Word-of-mouth, have created the Chinese Internet miracle. The first two years 200,000 yuan, the third year 500,000 dollars, all the performance is perfect.

Unfortunately, even the most regrettable is that the 2005 blog in China began to explode, we have even detours, but the opportunity to give first. When we have no money, everything is fine. But after 10 million dollars came in, everything changed. All this, thousand wrong million wrong, all first is my fault. Because, whether it is a strategy, whether it is a team, whether it is venture capital, my responsibility is the first. The team of people is I recruit, venture capital is also I find in. Even if they have problems, it is my problem first. Usually think, I want to beat myself countless times!

So, because 2005 years of brain fever. 2006, I also lost the opportunity to adjust ahead of time. Because, premature financing, too much money, too fast to give up the holding power, lightly let venture capital control the board of directors, prematurely let go of personnel, financial and other management. Blog China in a series of errors under the encyclopedia, lost the basic entrepreneurial passion, lost the long-term accumulation of valuable user reputation. More importantly, you've lost the chance to correct the mistakes, and venture capitalists have teamed up to dominate everything.

Since the beginning of this year, I have been forced to play a new role, as a spectator of the blog net, a bystander who accompanies the pain. I can only look at everything from afar, sincerely hope that the new team can make the company develop smoothly. This forced away, this helpless detachment, this helplessly watched their 3 years of all the painstaking efforts, deviated from the original intention. The pain and the lesson, compared with the past happiness, is really a great discipline. is also today I dare to do hatching the important reason. Because, we pass too many too big detours, can help the entrepreneur not to make our mistake.

A lot of my friends are in my blog message to reflect the problem, including complaining. I can only pain in my heart, but powerless. I and handsome 1999 years of Entrepreneurship, 2002 blog China, and 2006, we have to start again, two times to start, the Internet laboratory into a new realm.

Because of these huge mistakes, we are determined to change the business incubator. I don't want more entrepreneurs to repeat our mistakes. In the face of the past, the face of the blog network of loyal users, I can only say extremely ashamed. In the face of many people's criticisms and accusations, I can only bear in silence, because all the mistakes are their own root cause. The big reason, the big outside factor, if oneself does not make the mistake, will not evolve into the mistake. So, thousand said Million said, Xingdong is Shing.

4 years of dedicated to promote the blog, for our vision and belief, I am not humble. But it is a foolish price to miss such a huge opportunity to shift the power of blogging to other sites.

Of course, we can only face the future. My only wish for the 2006 was that the Internet labs would be able to make fundamental improvements and breakthroughs in the wake of these lessons, though every step of the way would be harder. Moreover, I also firmly believe that as long as the blog network can be renewed to stimulate entrepreneurial passion, is still unstoppable. And the loss of entrepreneurial passion for the blog industry and the company up and down, the loss of basic appeal and cohesion, it must continue to detours. Any successful internet company will experience life-and-death detours and setbacks.

Today, Internet labs are on the road to a new start, and we will face more skepticism, doubt, criticism, criticisms and attacks. However, our confidence is not reduced, but more determined, because adversity will make us stronger! Today, I really appreciate the true taste of entrepreneurship!

In the face of our sincere users, I am extremely ashamed! I can only use the new success of the future, to comfort a little heart long-term pain.
