Four of Zhou's advices to entrepreneurs

Zhou: The Chairman and CEO of the 360 security guard (Weibo), who founded 3721 and sold it to Yahoo, is also an angel investor.

Every time I mention the university student's entrepreneurship, I am very tangled, do you know how many success rate? Some people will give an example to Bill Gates, but you know, there is one person in the world. The vast majority of the market has been honed for at least 10 years: Look at Xu Chang (micro-bo), in the university did not graduate when the Chen (Micro-bo), so finally can start a dot network, and see the recent listing craze, Youku Koo (Micro bo) originally was Sohu CEO and co-president, And everyone's Chen a boat is also 10 years old veteran, when (Weibo) net of Guoqing is in the first wave on the internet to fight for more than 10 years.

And my first suggestion is: China's Internet entrepreneurial environment, the future is bright, the road is tortuous, the advent of wireless internet to create more opportunities, but the requirements for entrepreneurs than 10 years ago a lot higher, and this threshold is not more money can solve the problem. At that time everyone was silly, who gets a sum of money, in the Internet occupies a piece of land, as long as they do not make a big mistake can be "left" the king; now there are a number of new entrepreneurial models out, entrepreneurial companies to take a trip, the rivers and lakes will bring this model to move. In fact, plagiarism is not terrible, terrible is that people than you have resources, user volume.

Second, do not venture into the narrow sense that I opened a company today, to their own printed box of cards, call themselves CEO, want to market understanding, an idea into a mature business model, need experience accumulation. So, just enter the rivers and lakes, join other people's company, spend other people's money to practice their ability is also very good. And with the accumulation of experience and promotion, one day you will build a team, you may find that you can not do it yourself, may also need a CEO, a product expert.

3rd, entrepreneurial early to less utilitarian, not to solve financial problems to start a business. What you really like, really see a problem, you can solve it, then you do it. It doesn't have to be a huge sum to go public. If even 100,000 dollars have not been spent, must be to melt billions of dollars, I personally feel that this experience is meaningless.

Fourth proposal: I often received business plan, of course, I may not have the eye, but from the probability, if a person does not accumulate, business plan is a big topic, I think it is not reliable. Take Facebook For example, what is the real history? Is it that we have a six degree theory? is this about contacting everyone in the world? It's supposed to be a solution for Harvard girls to come in, Harvard Boys can see their photos on a website.

Jobs in this year through the iphone, the ipad subversion of the mobile phone industry, subversion of the tablet computer, make the current industry chaos, the earliest his idea I think is very simple, do the computer is really do this people, market share is too small; Do the operating system, although the operating system is very advanced, But is the enemy but windows99.99% 's share, how to do? Sword Walk slant, do a MP3 player. Even such a big company step by step is to rely on every bit, why do we have a shot to solve the world's problems? We should start with a very simple requirement, make a business plan, start with small things, start from a small point, and finally you will find that one step at a more big.

What's the most important thing about being a company? Just start with the product, find your users, try to sell the product to the user. They are often not the people around you, not those VC and critic. You should be with the user every day, the more humble, more do understand the user. I'll give you an account, make a bad product in China, it's not hard to get a 100,000 user, suppose you have 1% fans, 1000 fans, and suppose that 1000 fans come to your site and forum 10 days a day, and 100 people in a single person every day, if you have 100 loyal fans on your forum praising you, What does it feel like? The forum is very lively. You immediately feel like you're the only one in the world. At the beginning of the product, be sure to overcome the illusion of success, you need to find out where the real public users are, often with some commentators, you will only be more and more distant from the real users.

This is my personal experience, I can stand here to talk to you, because I have failed many times. Everyone in the early days of entrepreneurship will pass several failures, you are good health, young, the internet to fight is long-distance running, to hold live, the future must belong to young people.
