Facebook Zuckerberg: Good corporate founders don't give up

In the evening of Wednesday, Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and CEO of Facebook, appeared in Zuckerberg, the Tsinghua School of Economics and Management, to complete his first Chinese-language show, which was an amazing audience with fluent Chinese and students. Mr. Zuckerberg's visit to China will take part in a meeting of the Advisory board of Tsinghua University's Economic Management Institute. He revealed his efforts in the next 10 years: Internet popularization, artificial intelligence and virtual reality. As for the domestic entrepreneurial tide, he said, "The great company was founded not because the founders wanted to set up the company, but because the founders wanted to change the world." ”

Like to challenge to learn Chinese

As for the reasons for learning Chinese, Zuckerberg says his wife, Prisilla Chen (Priscilla Chan), is Chinese and wants to communicate with his wife and his wife's grandmother. In addition, he thinks China is a particularly great country, so he wants to feel the charm of Chinese culture by learning Chinese. The third reason is that "Mandarin is very difficult to learn, but I like challenges." ”

Zuckerberg visited China four times and visited cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Tianjin. Zuckerberg especially mentioned Tianjin, he likes fearless, want to see his hometown. On his trip to China, Mr. Zuckerberg said he would attend the Advisory board meeting of Tsinghua University's School of Economics and Management. A few days ago, the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University just released its advisory committee's 2014-2015-year membership list, adding 3 members this year, just 30-Year-old Zuckerberg ranked among them, and two were Boreu, the chief executive of Budweiser, the chairman of the IBM Board of Directors, President and CEO Rometty (Ginnirom Etty).

"There are a lot of Tsinghua alumni on Facebook and we're recruiting engineers in China, and we just recruited 20 students last month." Zuckerberg said. Recruiting in China is apt to spark the Association of Facebook's pioneering business in China. "We are in China, we help Chinese companies grow foreign customers, Chinese companies use Facebook Ads (to connect the world), and Lenovo has sold our phones in Indonesia with our ads," Mr. Zuckerberg said tactfully, in response to Facebook's development plan in China. "It says China's economy is developing alarmingly and Facebook wants to help the rest of the world connect to China." Hangzhou and Qingdao also have Facebook pages, Facebook and the City Collaborative development page to share Chinese culture.

Focus on artificial intelligence and virtual reality in the next decade

Earlier, Zuckerberg has been visiting India, countries such as Indonesia, South Korea and Japan have also sparked speculation about their travel goals, Zuckerberg said. "We want more people to use the Internet, there are no internet in many parts of the world today, some people do not have the Internet, some people do not know why to use the Internet, We need to connect with the world, the Internet is conducive to economic development and create more opportunities.

Zuckerberg introduced Facebook in 2004 because he wanted to contact the entire Harvard people. In fact, I always want to have a product can contact the world's people. When I started Facebook, we were happy to help students connect with the world. Other companies do not believe we can do this, but we believe that we now have 1.3 billion users.

Turning to the next technology trend, Zuckerberg said Facebook was 10 years old this year and asked what the next decade should be, "I think we need to develop three: first, we want to connect the world, so we want to help everyone use the Internet, and secondly, we want to develop artificial intelligence, Third, after all people use mobile phone, I believe that the next platform is virtual reality (virtualreality), Oculus is the first product, we hope there are many other products. ”

Starting a business is more than just setting up

At present, there are many college students intending to join in opening their own business. In this respect, Zuckerberg said, the great company was founded not because the founders wanted to set up the company but because the founders wanted to change the world. "If you decide to set up a company, you may have a lot of ideas, don't know what the best ideas are, and ultimately affect the company's development." But if you decide to change the world and have a good idea of starting a business, you can create a good company. ”

The key to sharing your success is that you can't give up. It is hard to develop a company, most companies will not go well, "you will need to make tough decisions, such as firing some employees." So, if you believe in your mission, it is easy to give up, most founders will give up, and good founders do not give up, so trust your mission, do not give up. Zuckerberg said the biggest challenge of his own was in 2012, when Facebook grew at a slower pace, with the mobile bandwagon, "everyone is unhappy." But we turned the company into a mobile company, and now we have more than 1 billion mobile subscribers. ”

Mr Zuckerberg also has a high opinion of a group of innovative companies in China. "I had dinner with little Mirejun in the evening of Tuesday." "Zuckerberg said that China has a lot of innovative companies, Millet is very innovative companies, rapid development, there are many different products, and very cheap, millet will grow very quickly, in addition, Tencent's micro-letter, q Q, as well as Taobao have innovation, create job opportunities."
