Chenhao: A reflection on the failure of three times to start a business

April 19, touch-controlled technology formally submitted an IPO application, will be listed in the Nasdaq Securities market transactions, to the highest financing of 150 million U.S. dollars. In the fourth quarter of 2013 and the annual mobile game publisher Market pattern released by the Analysys think-tank, Touch Technology ranked second in 16.2% of the market share. This is December 2011, Touch Technology general manager Chenhao Zhi in a snowball published a blog, about his years of entrepreneurial process, his partner, he put his feelings with 6 words: If the letter, please believe. We look back, started in 2008 Cocoachina community of Touch Technology, in 2011 by the "Catch people" First World War fame. From the start to today's IPO, the success of entrepreneurship may stem from a bit of persistence and trust. The following is the original of 2011 Chenhao Zhi: 1977 I was born that month, is my mother for the first time in 12 years to raise wages, and rising wages just enough to buy me milk powder. I grew up eating powdered milk, and now look at everything is good, and more than just strong, has more than big can express body shape. So from childhood to the big mother always said I was a lucky child. Because of luck, even if I have not been to college, I still encounter a lot of opportunities in the last wave of the Internet. Excellence, Love card, even translation, 10 the development of the Internet, I am more or less a result of the people, but not successful. Not success is not a good opportunity, not a premature, not a partner is not outstanding (Love Card two partners now one in the continued operation of love Card, a full founder), but the weakness of their own character let me many times in the time to go up the steps to give up. After the 06 Love card sale, I went through the failure of entrepreneurship, and began to reflect on what is missing. Is it just a lack of persistence? And what are their strengths, just sensitive to the market? Because of the market sensitivity, early online games, mobile value-added, the car community, including the current mobile Internet, the entry point of time is the eve of the industry explosion. And the Internet 10 years, 4 stages of the company's IPO climax, I was personally experienced, but also are bystanders. In the 09, I was doing a collection of collections on the Internet online trading community, and in the middle of that year again took over the translation. In the process of flourishing, I found my partner Lao Zhang, a typical Scorpio man, with all the advantages I do not have: professional and profound, stable character, continuous promotion. And my market sensitivity, strategy development and implementation capacity and external communication and his cooperation is very tacit understanding, two years time than the industry boss Chuangda. I am still a shareholder in the heyday of the time. Since then I have often told my friends that I find partners only for Scorpio. At the end of 09, the translation was closed, although it was later restored, however, this blow made me the first time to face whether to continue the choice of internet entrepreneurship. At that time I gave myself a few requirements: distributed services, can not be a network cable to determine life and death; Mobile internet, because I have 10 years of attention and hobby handheld devices; Android or iOS, in machineFeng, Wei Feng, EoE, Cocoachina in the middle of the choice of the last, I still according to their hobbies, chose to contact the Cocoachina webmaster Gagaga. After all, I started using the iphone in 07, and although I'm more familiar with the Community model, I don't like to repeat what I've done. It has been almost 2 years since December 2009, the first time in the station to Gagaga, the biggest change in two years is not how lucky Cocoachina or how fast, the biggest change is to shake the Chinese way of education deep-rooted atheism and personal belief problems. Not long ago my HR director and I said that you and Gary were blessed to be cocoachina. How do I explain that? She says, when you're doing what you're most recognized and good at, you get happiness. You, Gary is happy as a fan and disseminator of new technology. For this joy you are blessed from the beginning, believe me. The development of Cocoachina I often talk about luck, it's really fortunate that investors, products, teams, markets, including media attention, sometimes I am afraid of too much luck, I will always worry about when there will be changes or the emergence of adversity, for experienced too many entrepreneurs, accidents are always normal. The real state, which began in November last year, has spent almost every day in dealing with accidents, coping with stress and solving problems, for more than 1 years now. I often say more than 30 years not so busy, so tired, the day before yesterday to come to the North Pole Light CEO meeting Night, 3:30 A.M., I gave Gary wrote 2 mail, 3 point 40 received Gary's detailed reply, he is still working. Although the bitter even sometimes is scared, but you will be willing to insist and stick to it. I think it's really because you believe this thing is right for you and will carry more. What does this have to do with the beliefs or atheism mentioned earlier? It's going to start when I know Gary. December 28, 2009, the translation is still in the closed state, all the ways have been used, and still have no turnaround. I found the webmaster ID on the Cocoachina gagaga, sent a letter to say, I pay attention to this field, want to talk to him. Then on MSN I directly said I want to participate, or even buy, but Gary (Gagaga) 's answer makes me feel powerless, because the condition is higher than I can accept. A few minutes later, I sent another message, and I said I could consider only participating in small sums of money (including the amount, and then in fact we are in reciprocal cooperation). Then Gary said he had to think about it and thought he could talk. If you have not changed your mind after New Year's Day, meet specifically. After New Year's Day, I tentatively asked Gary, did you tell the family? Gary says there's no problem with the wife, I know it's there. So hurried to meet time. The meeting place was downstairs at the company where Gary was working (CocoachinaIt was Gary's personal website for 2 years. Now I remember how surprised Gary was when he showed up because he didn't really look like a tech guy. He was also very happy because he was the same size as me. Fats always feel better communicating with fat men. More than a year later Gary and I said that his first impression was that the person in front should be able to do something. And Gary knew me before I contacted him. The first time I met and talked about Cocoachina, I remember the day I had a few apps installed in the App Store to see Gary get back to the factory, and I didn't break out of the iphone that day. Also that day, Gary and I said he had his faith, and he was convinced. And told me about his experience of quitting smoking. To me, an atheist, and a believer in Choshing, all this only makes me feel that the person in front of me is a person who can work together and have the bottom line and values, and I am more steadfast in my heart. After 2 years of ups and downs, Gary and I have not blushed, and I agree with his judgment on technology, and he believes in my position with the company and the business. Financing, product release, face pressure and achievements. Always feel more tacit understanding and mutual trust, understanding. Gary is also a Scorpio. His advantages are sometimes his faults, but they are very complementary to me, whether they are shortcomings or advantages. This evening in the Yalong Bay with him to walk outside, to mention Gary's father, this may be we will often mention. Gary now goes back to Harbin to see his father every week whenever he can. From Monday to Friday we worked late into the night. Gary's father is Virgo's maiden Libra for the last 1 days. When I met Gary, I knew his father liked HiFi, which was my hobby for 16 years. Not long ago with Gary to go to Gome, Gary very regrets, said my father to the electrical city and you look like, straight to the TV area. Tonight, Gary said the details and said that my father also liked to weld the circuit board himself. I said I was a child too, but also to be flattered. Because my master is a professor of posts and Telecommunications College, I have my own set of tools since childhood. Gary was surprised to say that my father had a hobby you couldn't have. Gary says my father likes to watch books, a box, and give himself a square. At this time I said, I watched books since my childhood, because my father is a self-taught Chinese medicine. In primary school I would give myself acupuncture and have my own acupuncture bag. Then I was silent. More than 10 years of entrepreneurial journey, always complained that they did not meet the good boss later is a good partner, but finally found that their own defects if not suitable for the remedy, it is difficult to really do things. Gary met me before I followed my father's request to work in a big company without thinking about starting a business. Online meeting less than 1 hours to say something to do together, and the progress, time and again, and today I suddenly know these, let me feel the small, in this world of Providence, you can not determine what is your own effortsAnd what is already destined. No Gary can't have today's cocoachina, and my presence has changed too much Gary. Who is going to help? Now it's all in the beginning, and every day is still trembling and cautious. However, the heart has never had a sense of support. I'd rather believe it, so my microblog signature was changed early. If the letter, please be convinced. This year's experience is due to the trust of the partners, because of the adherence to Jobs ' business and product philosophy, because of adherence to the mobile Internet and our own values, because of the yearning for technology to change our lives, and also because of the desire to include Google, Microsoft, Intel's companies have become the luckiest team to recognise the developer's ecological commitment. And this kind of luck stems from your heartfelt belief that the letter to me and Gary contains too much. Hope more like us. If you believe it, please believe it.
