24-Year-old webmaster A man's "war"

Sophomore choose to drop out of business, no team, no funds, personal life is extremely embarrassed.　　How long can this webmaster persist? _ Text/Zhengjiangpo _ Photography/Liang 24-year-old entrepreneur Li Yancho, want to do a social and sharing function, but also different from SNS, can write a blog, but with the traditional blog, light blog, microblogging different products. Description of this product seems to be a bit awkward, in short, this is in Guangzhou, in school was classmate for computer "genius" of the young people, 2010 a person programming, founded a "Meow Friends" blog community.　　It already has about 9,000 users and is growing by thousands of people each month. "A revolutionary blogging community that allows you to share information, pictures, videos and music with your friends in a simple and beautiful interface."　　"Open your meow," said the Web site, which is the main color of blue, in its homepage. "Many people mistakenly think that the cat is a light blog, and the point of the domestic network and other comparisons, in fact, we are not the same."　　Li Yancho claimed that the actual meow online six months later he learned that there are Tumblr (light blog originator), from the site type meow more like a traditional blog and micro-blog combination, and light blog more like a simplified version of traditional blog. From the website function underestimate the blog to pay more attention to sharing, and meow friends pay more attention to the communication between users, that is, social nature.　　In addition, the light blog and the traditional blog as well as the background of the concept, and meow friends from the technology has been removed from the background, so that users can speak, comments and other operations could be carried out on a page, this feature and Micro Bo is the same. Li Yancho that, compared with Weibo, meow friend of a feature is able to meet the user's personalized needs, allowing users to fully customize the front-end page, and can be placed in the way the widget module to enrich the homepage of the sidebar, to get their own meow, so Li Yancho will be the target group of the Meow Friends in Young,　　The pursuit of personalized has been interested in the exchange of users. Li Yancho's computer skills began to show up when he was in primary school, most children are holding a black-and-white machine playing "ghost Dou Luo", he has played a DOS program, the home of the Pentium 1 generation of computers by his repeated disassembly and installation of the number of times; He took the alternative, in 0 basic circumstances, to a day of time, using flash technology to complete the task.　　A lot of similar stories, in short, because of his computer endowments, in the school he is already a star-style figure. Later, he was admitted to the South China University of Science and Technology, an unexpected choice of English majors. Li Zhuo has its own reasons: "I majored in English is to better study the computer." "He thinks language is the biggest obstacle to his computer learning," All knowledge of computers can be mastered by self-study. "In fact, like Li Yancho's judgment, in addition to his own computer technology self-taught, in South China's Hkust, an English-majors ' programming level is higher than most computer majors 'are high. Another thing that surprised the people around him was that, 3 years ago, when he was a sophomore, he decided he couldn't learn. "I am very disappointed with the education of the University", the reason for dropping out seems somewhat simple, but he is determined to make this choice. Family, friends discourage is indispensable, Li Yancho or successful dropout, once became a social Shing. Of course, he left school to start a business, "in fact, the idea of entrepreneurship in college, and already know what to do."　　"So, after 1.5 hours of preparation, Li-Yan Zhuo has a network of cats on the line last March." It was a man's fight.　　Meow has not set up their own team, did not get a penny investment, support it is only Li Yancho one person. "Entrepreneurial state" originally intended to Li Yancho telephone interview, he insisted on the way to chat online. This let the reporter baffled, later just know Li Yancho's family is not good, each month's mobile phone bill only 15 yuan. In his words, he is a standard "three generations", the whole family to scrimp and give up his college students.　　He said that he would have expected him to shine, can drop out of home to start a business, family has been worried about his online illegal marketing. Just before his birthday, the parents also because of his entrepreneurial things will he cursed a meal, in order to try to let parents reduce anger, Li Yancho every day only eat morning and evening meal, 175 cm He only 50 kg, can use skinny to describe. Even in such circumstances, he still did not think of giving up, "since has paid so much, I must go to the end." "Three years, Li Yancho rarely go out, in the city of Guangzhou, go out means consumption." Most of the spending on the website comes from his New Year's lucky money, he has done one or two outsourcing jobs with his own technology, earning hundreds of bucks, but for him, the employer's requirements are "strange", which is why Li Yancho not willing to go to work, "to work will listen to the Boss, But I think most of the bosses are not enough, and I don't want to work for those people.　　"he said. Outside, Meow friends have some fame. Not long ago, Stanford University student Union start-up organization also invited Li Yancho to participate in the competition, although due to economic conditions, eventually gave up the game.　　But for Li Yancho, this is a rare encouragement and a sense of affirmation.　　Not long ago, he saw a friend forwarded a "2011, the most concerned about the site," The Micro-blog, meow impressively in the column, which also let Li Yancho secretly happy for a long time. With the development of smartphones, meow friends launched mobile client demand is imminent, because they do not have an iphone, can not test software, so he brainwave in advance design the entire app, ran to the Guangzhou Tianhe shopping mall Apple Experience Shop, take the display machine to do the experiment. When the problem was found, and then ran to the nearby McDonald's (Weibo) to the Internet to modify, and then ran back to the experience shop to test again, round-trip several times finally test completedThe cat's iOS version, and the Apple clerks are getting to know him. A person entrepreneurship has always been a bottleneck, Li Yancho also know this. If you want to let the Meow friend a step, you must in the promotion and art and so on to ask some professional talent, but he obviously did not have this condition. To this end, he had tried to find a lot of domestic and small VC, and even the old VC Li Yancho such as IDG have been contacted. Although many VC are very optimistic about the cat, but due to the site development strategy, the final outcome of negotiations is a failure. "In fact, Meow is more suitable for a foreign VC."　　"Li Yancho said. The reason for this is that Li Yancho is positioning his meow to develop overseas, in fact, from the four-country language version of the cat, its development route can be seen, thanks to a foreign HTML5 website recommendation, now Meow English version already has hundreds of users, and this number is still rising steadily. Li Yancho that overseas technical personnel more in line with the requirements of meow friends, "the popularity of overseas technology is relatively high, my technical level in the domestic relatively high, and in fact quite common in foreign countries."　　Li Yancho that most domestic programmers are more familiar with the relative "outdated" technology. Li Yancho choice of overseas routes is another reason for the domestic internet plagiarism is very despise, "many foreigners look down on China's internet, feel that China has no innovation, only plagiarism, I now do is to convey a value, to foreigners to see, but also to the Chinese people." "he said. "I'm not worried that my meow will be copied because it's not going to be copied overseas, but it's technically difficult for a domestic company to copy it," he said.　　These words embody Li Yancho's self-confidence, on the other hand, it also reflects his bohemian as a more than 20-year-old youth. In innovation, Li-Zhuo has a small skill, he always carry a notebook, as long as the inspiration, think of what creative, will immediately write down, now he has 20 or so ideas do not have time to achieve, but he felt that these ideas are very precious, must be done in the future. Let Li Yancho to meow friend full of confidence is the reason is the user's loyalty and active degree, he said: "Meow friend most of the content is original, the user came to the basic will not go, and every day will look." "" The business model is temporarily confidential, rest assured, I have planned several sets of plans, only to be ripe for the launch, the only thing that can be revealed in the widget development and service delivery fees. "Talk about making money Li Yancho performance of the answers, there are winning, outside the momentum."　　In fact, he was already ready to be a boss, when the university did not less to the management of the Department of rubbing lessons. Li Yancho said he did not have an idol, dropped out of business is the heart has long been deep-rooted idea, not want to emulate who. In order to start a business, he sacrificed too much, already 24 years old he has not had a girlfriend. Today, his money has been left, still can maintain about six months time, the reporter asked: "Then what are you going to do?" He smiled and said: "This is not immediately to the New year (have Lucky money)." ”
