Charles Zhang buys 22 meters luxury yacht: Say Goodbye to Sadness

Zhang's appearance on the cover of the 10th issue of "Fashion Health" in 2004 (data picture) "People have heard that anxiety is a recent unhappy, what is the problem." Charles Zhang tried to draw a point out of his definition of "anxiety" in the sense of "anxiety" in general. I say anxiety like you go into the door today, see a stranger, there is a hint of unhappiness, insecurity "years too perplexed, he began to read history, recently read the history of Chinese revolution" Everyone is anxious, I am also anxious. "Zhang was loosely leaning on the couch, T-shirts, soft soles, and not as full of tension as in previous years," my anxiety waned.　　"The CEO, who was called The godfather of China's internet, challenged Everest to climb 6666 meters above sea level, to be able to return to the 20-year-old skateboarding, naked on the cover of fashion magazine ...　　In addition, he has been birthdays of his long stay single state, gossip-ridden. Yes, from his body you may be able to see a lot of Virgin founder Branson Shadow.　　But although Zhang has a good opinion of Branson, he admits he is far less than Branson.　　Zhang is Sohu, Sohu is Zhang, he single-handedly and Sohu's brand bundled together, "Love to show" is the most popular opinion of his evaluation.　　This gives him and his company a high profile in China, and on the other side, his company's strategy, implementation, performance, etc., has been in a variety of questioning.　　Zhang's recent public hobby is the yacht, the newly purchased luxury yacht of 22 meters is China's largest private yacht, named "Happy".　　This seems to be some kind of hope, or some hint--what is the connection between "happiness" and "anxiety"? Define Zhang's "anxiety" "The anxiety I'm talking about is not the same as what the mass media says.　　"Zhang was staring at the teacup, or it was just his usual practice to keep his eyes fixed somewhere so he could talk easily." "When people hear that anxiety is something they're not happy with lately, what's the problem?" "Charles Zhang tried to draw the" anxiety "of his definition out of the ordinary sense of" anxiety "," I say anxiety like you go to the door today, see a stranger, there is a hint of unhappiness, insecurity. "　　"Similar psychological reactions, including insecurity and the rejection of the ego, often haunt everyone with a trace, which is what Charles Zhang defines" anxiety. Look at the ubiquity of anxiety: is the door closed when you leave the house? Will thieves enter the house? Is the gas turned off?　　Did someone say something in the morning and didn't do it?　　Some people chose to run away from this, resign, go to Tibet, drift.　　Charles Zhang chooses to face. The Massachusetts Institute of Physics, a Ph. D. At MIT, seems to have built an imaginary laboratory that tries to purify a state of near-anxiety, "with the understanding of the mind and brain to achieve maximum purity without anxiety." "He was well aware of the purity of 100% withoutThe state of anxiety is impossible, but his goal is to reach 99.9%.　　Charles Zhang's purification of his anxiety-free behavior was attributed to his dream of living to the age of 150.　　In a blog post on October 31 last year, he mentions the dream and mentions the anxiety he has defined-not the obvious major pain, but the silky urgency, nervousness and worry of every minute. Charles Zhang hopes to reduce anxiety, which he believes can make the aging process very slow, "I feel already approaching this state, so I have confidence in 150 (years)." Zhang's belief in the idea of where anxiety comes from values creates anxiety.　　In his view, the efficiency of the first values of human development so far, but also caused people's anxiety. And from a person's growth experience to see, from an early age of education is to succeed, to get ahead, and if the real fame, it needs more fame to meet psychological needs, the cycle, endless.　　Anxiety also accompanies always.　　Although he rarely talks about his anxiety, he has seen from his experience the anxieties of values.　　From Xi ' An to Tsinghua University campus, Charles Zhang can not find the first feeling, in order to prove that he is possible, he in the biting water in winter swimming, every day around the Yuanmingyuan run five or six kilometers.　　From Tsinghua Campus to the United States, this anxiety is magnified by a more sensitive feeling, and the desire to be recognized and accepted is becoming stronger. Charles Zhang later returned to China after a postdoctoral study at MIT and a chance job.　　He came from MIT, a source that made the media and even officials friendly to him.　　From some of his later expressions, it is possible to speculate on the fact that these acceptance and recognition have found a way to dispel anxiety. And the bigger gain is that he has the opportunity to hear Shong's speech about entrepreneurship on this trip.　　It was this speech that made Charles Zhang understand what he was looking for.　　Many years later, he sat on the broad sofa of Waitan 18th, remembering the reason for his return, using a very brief sentence: "It was purely a point of view of values."　　At this point, those statements about values, anxiety, recognition and acceptance are integrated.　　Dispelling anxiety Zhang has been looking for solutions consciously or unconsciously. In 1998, he was selected as one of the "global 50-digit heroes", the United States mainstream magazine "Time" weekly, this is a recognition of the mainstream American society signal, this honor directly into his resume "honor/performance" of the first column; 2002, 6 years after the venture, Sohu finally full profit, and before, Anxious not to leave him, he even admitted that he was once in danger of being dismissed; 10 years after he started his business, Charles Zhang, recalling his compromise to stay in position, faced Sohu, which had a huge business structure left behind by the docile policies of Wall Street, and he admitted that his ideas were beginning to grow Don't like the way it used to be on Wall StreetLost, "Now I have said many times not to listen to Wall Street, Wall Street has made a lot of mistakes."　　"Charles Zhang in the process of what has gone through the course of mind, do not know." Later he described himself as not believing or trying to believe, "I would prefer to think independently."　　"This PhD, who believes in the power of thought, has been keeping a low profile for the answers to the source and the ultimate in the show," he said.　　He began to read history and recently read the history of Chinese revolution. He once approached Christianity at a distance, and once studied Buddhism, comparing the differences between Western science, especially chemistry and medicine, psychology, and Oriental science, especially Chinese medicine. He now believes that the study of the human body by Chinese medicine is more scientific, and that the principle of Buddhism is more in line with the working principle of the brain. "The ability to achieve happiness is the ability to ignore." "But he won't go to religion."　　He wanted to use the power of thought to regulate anxiety until he reached the "no anxiety" state. However, he firmly locked the boundaries between "privacy" and "public" information. Zhang said he was willing to share his thoughts on ways to eliminate anxiety and how to manage his life, "what exactly, what is going to be blocked." "My private things do not want to be expressed in this way of information, others can understand my status, I do not want others to understand my life, do not want to information in the way, study the way to understand my life." "He is a love show, low-key, ' Cunning ' fox, in need of time show, when necessary, low-key, in the face of ' cunning '."　　"A netizen in the article described his impression of Charles Zhang." 　　And if Zhang's own theory and point of view to explain, this let the user's description is full of contradictions, began to become slowly clear up. "If your way of thinking is normal. Now, after a complicated process, it's back to the status of a three-year-old.　　"This is the highest level of anxiety-free State that Charles Zhang craves. "How old are you now back?" "10 years old, still have anxiety, up to three years old state." "There is still demand, such vanity is impossible to completely overcome."　　"Zhang is still unable to get rid of the demand for recognition, which may be his personal performance, a bigger house and a bigger car, or perhaps Sohu performance, greater and more successful more people are sure." "It's not a simple decision, it's probably something deep in the human history." He went back to the state of exploration.
