May 25, 2014, by the IDG Capital wholly-owned, the pioneering state-sponsored IDG campus pioneering competition to preach the 11th station in Chengdu, the successful conclusion of the University of Innovation. The campus entrepreneurship competition for all undergraduate and graduate students, to explore the campus of gifted developers and technical geeks. Aicola CEO Liang made a keynote speech, he from his students experience, talk about three can let entrepreneurial success probability of more than 50% conditions: one is not obedient, two is not admit defeat, three is uncompromising. In addition, he said: If your ideal is like a car, and you feel that everything is in control, it only means that this car is not fast enough. "The following text for Liang speech excerpts, without my review:" Fellow students, everyone teachers good, I am an old school of electronic science and technology alumni, 92-level physics and electronics technical graduates. I am very honored to share with you some of my own entrepreneurial experience. First of all, I patted IDG capital of the horse fart, because I think IDG Capital in particular understand the entrepreneur, and actively responsible, many of its partners in the real sense of entrepreneurs. I returned home in 2005 a process of entrepreneurship, the first time see VC is in IDG. Although the IDG did not invest in me, but when I walked out of the office, I was thinking, if there is still a chance to let IDG vote for me. This is very fortunate, our company's Project Aicola (Editor's note: exam is the meaning of the test, it is to achieve the mobile phone photos and voice to provide students with quick questions and answers to the mobile education platform), got the IDG of a type of investment. Let me tell you something interesting about my school. When I was very fond of computers, there are several computer enthusiasts in the dormitory, we are very poor, but we have saved nearly 4,000 dollars with a computer. But then we really are poor cast no way, every day is tofu on porridge, persisted for one months. Really can't go on, I told the dormitory a classmate of Tianjin to talk about not so poor. He's in San Diego now, and he's doing a great business. We did one thing, selling floppy disks at school (at that time, we used a 3.5-inch floppy disk, no discs, and a floppy disk was expendable). We both borrowed some money and bought some floppy disks for a stall at school. But we were afraid to open our mouths and smoke and squat there, only to sell one. The next day we hung a huge banner at 14 409, which means the wholesale floppy disk is cheaper than the outside. Advertising words out, very great, people from all quarters come to buy us here, business for half a year, we put the computer investment money back, and life is relatively rich. This is the first time I have a small entrepreneurial experience. I feel very happy. I feel that there are many times, it is really a lot of accidental things to make your life, you do not feel that the accidental thing is an accident, in fact, you should expect a number of accidental things happen every day. For example, I went abroad, it is also a very accidental and accidental. After I graduated is a cynic, I think the domestic so good, why to go out, I despise the examinationTOEFL out of people, very despise. But I work in Beijing, really no matter, because my English is rotten, I am not convinced, then to the new Oriental, we also learn the TOEFL, but my goal is not to go abroad, I just learn to play. After learning the TOEFL, I graduated that evening with a lecture on Canadian immigrants. I remember 1998, I have nothing to listen to, get a message, Canada has a very good immigrant opportunities, computer, estimated minutes are gone, and do not have to read, many people get off the plane, work is coming. I heard very excited, the next day to consult, I gave up, the charge is too high, good thousands of dollars. I told the news to my other classmate, is the same year with me to sell floppy disk. The brother's sister and brother-in-law were left there after graduating from Texas, and he told me he must go abroad. But his English is really rotten, the test 10 times, 8 times have failed, almost gave up abroad. He was very excited when I told him the news. I really admire this man, he is really good at studying. After a week he told me that thousands of dollars in the intermediary fees, in fact, not so much. At the Hong Kong embassy, spend more than 1000 less money on the currency, of which more than 700 dollars, if not the Canadian government to refund you. I listen, think this can withstand, but the work is too busy, I do not want to go abroad. My classmate said, I do not know a person, you accompany me to go. In the end, we had 6, 7 months, and very fortunate that we were going to Hong Kong to do immigration visas, the result of an IELTS test, so I was the first batch of new Oriental immigration IELTS class students, many friends are there to meet. So is this an accident? When we went to Canada, the two of US studied Canada and felt it was worthwhile to go to Vancouver and Toronto, and other places were 1000 times times worse than China, and there was no way to go. The best place, of course, is Vancouver, which is always ranked the top three of the world, suitable for human habitation. After the election, the friend gave up, he said he is not engaged in computer, he is still doing microwave devices related, Vancouver can not find a job, he advised me to go to Toronto. Finally, I went to Vancouver, and then I did something very accidental. I posted a post on the Chinese forum, I said that a person in Vancouver do not know, there are no good people to meet me at the airport, because I really do not understand anything. The next day there was a friend of Guangdong back to paste, he went to 1998, there is a car, settled down, tell me the flight number to pick you up. I told the wife that this person must come to pick up, my wife said to kill do not believe, must be a liar. But after I got off the plane, he really came to take care of me from beginning to end, but also a very good friend of mine. It means a lot to me in life, and when you give trust to a stranger, that courage is not something that everyone will have at any time. There is another thing worth remembering. I was in Canada for a while, and then I was in the company about 2, 30 million dollars,All burned out, and at that time the economy is not good, constantly cut people, only my project team for the company to make money. New York Partners flew to Vancouver to come to me, because he knew I was in charge, gave me 10 tens of thousands of of the Canadian dollar salary, he said this project must be kept, not to go to New York, in Vancouver to work, the conditions are very good. My original boss came back to me, and told me that although our company is closed, but the project is still, the investment money can not be smashed, we restructured a company to give you shares, but the salary is very low, almost 40,000 yuan. I made a very sensible decision at that time, this is the first company I found in Canada, people so recognized me, the company is difficult, the boss does not want to shut the company, let me start with him, I am very happy. I really rebuffed the 120,000 annual salary company, and then we did 8 months, the company was bought by another Canadian listing, this is my experience in Canada to start a more successful. What does this tell us? In fact, a person if the heart of Thanksgiving has a good return. IDG said that the sooner you start a business the better, I also admit this view, but I add three conditions. With these three conditions, your probability of success exceeds 50%, and without these three conditions, it is almost impossible to succeed. And the first condition must have, without this condition, do not come out mixed, very hard. First of all, ask yourself, are you a obedient person? If your answer is that I am a obedient person, you do not come out to start a business, must fail. If you're not too good to answer this question, you ask the following several questions, is that you from childhood to university, has not been with your parents firmly said no, and your teacher firmly said no, with your closest friend said no, or with your boyfriend, girlfriend, even the wife said no? If never dared to say, Or never think of it, please don't come out to start a business. Because the entrepreneur, can only trust him a person, no second person can believe. The first condition everyone must remember that you must be disobedient. The second condition, in the process of entrepreneurship slowly temper their own, called disobedience. As I like to play golf, if 18 holes, even if you hit the first place, look back to your score sheet, a lot of holes are +3, or +4. The entrepreneurial process of failure is inevitable, success is not necessarily, by chance, must have this mentality. The third condition is called uncompromising. Because before in the ICU group, some people ask what is the most important business, some people say that the market, some people say products, someone said sales, I said a word, I think the most important thing is always adhere to your ideal. Is that you started out, why do this thing, you have to remember all your life, no matter how big the company become. Of course in the process of negotiation and so on, you must do no compromise, I said these, must be installed in your heart. As we Chinese speaking, must be humble, must have some quality, but in the heart of some things, called the outer circleNeffang. The last word ends today's speech. I myself in my QQ signature wrote a word, I think is also very control me now this state, that is, if your ideal is like a car, and you feel that everything is in control, it can only show that this car is not fast enough. All right, thank you!
