97 Yan salary 2400 yuan last year was a big blow

From 1996 to 2006, a four-person team from the four-way side to the first portal of the Chinese Internet today, from 23 to 33 years old, Yan Sina to the peak, and then alone down the mountain.　　"Internet weekly": In Sina ten years, you experience the biggest difficulty is what? Yan: In 1997, the old Lady of our finance department called me into the office and told me, "Do you know what your salary is?" She said 2400 yuan, she said the salary in the company is very high, you must cherish.　　She told me mysteriously that we had only made 30,000 dollars last month and that we would soon have no money to pay. More difficult is the 2001, 2002 Internet winter. Who can see that there must be the end of the tunnel?　　We are touching the black, under the pressure to go, the stock suddenly fell down on the move, six months, three quarters, or even a year, has been on this horizontal line.　　Last year I was very, very tired of the last year, the Grand acquisition of 19.5% of the shares of Sina, I think the pressure on us is very large.　　"Internet Weekly": What prompted you to decide to resign? Yan: I think any enterprise to develop, or long, or short, or rapid, or slow, it needs fresh blood and ideas. Unchanging enterprise is never possible, quo enterprise is not exist, just in the ideal and vacuum state.　　Especially in our industry, the Internet in every minute, every second, there are new technologies, it may be in the two or three-year cycle will produce changes in the market, so we have to try to keep up with the market changes, and truly become the market Sina rather than the previous wave, or after the waves died on the beach. I think we have such a power Sina, can let the new things constantly come in. Sina past 10 years time together can see a very obvious characteristic is that we have not been tired of reputation, not by the baggage of history, this is the advantage of Sina.　　We are not a company or a family company, compared to them I believe that Sina more mature.　　"Internet Weekly": How to evaluate your successor's past performance? Yan: "Lao Cha" (note: Cao Chao) This person is not in a minute, two minutes can immediately let you feel his impulse, his enthusiasm of the people, he is a calm, stable, thinking type.　　But for a long time, I see he is really trying to work hard, I know this person is a potential, and is really very capable of a person. From the first listing of the relationship between us is very close, I think his way of thinking is very meticulous, and my style of doing a very complementary role. Sometimes people ask, who is Chao? What are you responsible for?　　It was hard for me to explain, and I said that Chao was my partner.　　"Internet Weekly": During your tenure, Sina has tried some new business areas, which do you think is more promising? Yan: My biggest regret is not being able toFor Sina to find business development of the third leg. But in turn, think about whether we have to find other business models for Sina. It should be said that we are in the field of expertise, the most potential, and we can best play their strengths, we should play it incisively.　　In this way, in today's social environment and market environment, we will be able to foothold in a more stable market position. For example, the game, there is no way to let us learn how to play the game, but also do not know how to operate the game, this is very clear question. For some emerging markets, we will initially have a greater ambition, others can do why we can not do? We also see that today there are a lot of internet companies, also in some places have a strong advantage, also want to enter other business areas. After a year or two, they may find that they only have an advantage in some way.
