Speaking of "entrepreneurship" This topic, perhaps many friends are very interested. I was sharing some things with my young friends when I started my business, hoping to provide some lessons and encouragement for their business.

Keyword one: select

My entrepreneurial experience has to start with my choice of entrepreneurship.

From small to large, I was running to become a scientist. Junior High School, I was in the Chinese Academy of Immunology to participate in a research project, basically not in school. After high school, the cell in the Chinese Academy of Sciences "How to identify the sex of parrots", this topic is more interesting. Because a parrot is a single sex bird, you can't tell its sex in any way, unless you cut it open, but it dies (laughs). Many birds are very precious, for example, I studied the macaw, only in South America, a very small number of rare animals, so sell very expensive, one to my half high parrot to sell to tens of thousands of dollars. Shanghai Wildlife Park at that time raised dozens of, hoping to be paired breeding, at that time to help them find a way, I spent half the time in high school in the laboratory.

This kind of work in the field of scientific research may be very meaningful, but for the whole society has little impact, people will not care how to let the macaw breeding. At that time, I walked to Jiaotong University, can choose their own professional, I was thinking about what to do in the future, can have a greater impact on society.

Because it is a walk to the relationship between the university, high school has a lot of free time to read. At that time to read a lot of books about the American dream, jobs, Gates, Besos and other people's experience has come to the point of pinch. I thought it would be a good way to create a very good company. I am very impressed with a company: "Xerox". A friend who is slightly familiar with Apple's history should know that Apple's mouse was not originally designed by Apple, but that Steve Jobs had seen it in Xerox Labs and felt it was something that could change the future. Xerox is very good at creating some future-oriented products, and I was thinking that if I could set up a company like this, it would bring a lot of change to the society.

When you walk to Jiaotong University, there is an interview, the professors will see if you are suitable for this major, I went to the hospital. To stay in the hospital, he made up a set of "biological attributes" and "social attributes" of the speech want to fool the presence of the people, the result was unfortunate to see through: "You are all nonsense, we think you more suitable for living things," said the end of the carrying I will go to the health branch. At this time a professor stood up and said that I was good enough to stay. He is a Tianjin man, who talks to each other in class every day (laughs). But anyway, I stayed in the hospital.

Keyword two: try

Because of the previous relationship between the Department of Health, buried in the laboratory all day, almost not too much talk, people are more introverted. After entering the hospital, because to start a company, there must be a lot of people to follow you. So freshman, I was thinking, what kind of things are very attractive. See a book that my father left in the bookcase, called "The Lion's Talk", 4 students from Fudan University represent China to participate in the global Chinese Debating competition held in Singapore. At the time it was so cool that if you could get a debate, a speech or something, there would be a lot of people following you. Determined to engage in a debate after the lecture, the whole freshman year, as long as where I can stand on the stage to speak, I will go. Sophomore time to take part in the national simulation of the United Nations to participate in the competition, asked the school to a small classroom, and several students together in the classroom, in the mirror practiced for one months, that is the first time, is the only one to get the winner of the model Union.

Later, after the Jiaotong University has some popularity, some people are willing to follow me to do things together. Junior year, the school in response to the party's call, held a lot of entrepreneurial competition, the stage of everyone wearing a stiff suit, everyone together to do a very beautiful business plan, each feeling to create tens of billions of of the income, will soon stand on the top of the world. I was also involved in a lot of these games, but it turned out to be a bad effect. Although you won a lot of prizes, but think about it, even a company is not registered, which is to create what kind of business.

So when I was a junior, I registered with my partner as a company. What we did at that time was to do the project in the entrepreneurial competition, which is to make health records. After doing this project for a year, look back at our entrepreneurial competition. It's not as useless as the first time you've done it: first, we save a lot of money, a group of people can rent a house outside can have a place to stay, but also can spend some money to recruit interns; second, many people begin to know you and you can have access to some very powerful judges. So we got the angel investment in the junior.

Keyword three: adhere to

To senior, when we have done a period of time health files of the project, found that the past to participate in the entrepreneurial competition to do the planning, more is applauded not draw. Team more than 30 people, everyone is very smart, we gradually found that the project in the market maturity is very low, others how to say hello, this product is no one to use now is no one to use. As the highest employment rate in the country, Jiaotong university graduates can find a very good way out, so at that time the team members have left one after another, the company is only 2 people, that time is very low, but also let me realize that there must be something really useful to do.

I did a few things at that time. The company only has 2 people, we are the Internet company, the program must be someone to write, I will self-study programming. 5 O ' Day in the morning with the book, catching the bus to Minhang, into the office began to write the site (that is, now Teambition), the evening to catch the last bus back to Xuhui campus dormitory. At that time, I was embarrassed to tell my parents that the company was not well opened and had no place to live. At that time did not dare to do the wrong thing, because the wrong thing is very expensive, so at that time almost all doing the right thing. Also dare not to invite designers, afraid of being fooled, so they learn AI, PS, learn to do video. By the September 2011, the website has done something.

Just around a friend is 36 krypton, see I use this thing is very good, asked me what is the product, at first he thought it was foreign, because the name is very flavor (laugh). Also because of his relationship, we can display this product on the 36 Krypton Open Day in Shenzhen. In 10 minutes, your original efforts are all in use. You learn the design, your PPT is better than others, you learn programming, the scene to get a small program, we think that the CEO is very powerful; you practiced the speech, so stand on the stage and speak better than others. So when I came down from the stage, I was surrounded by investors.

Come back, we step continue to do teambition, because see the market feedback, a lot of people use teambition, we based on the needs of users, according to their ideals, 1.1 points forward.

Current concerns

Now for my company, my biggest concern is that I have no best people. At this stage, the direction is not wrong, all the people are looking at your product, the market will give you sound, you will know that this thing is used by someone. So now the goal is to do the best product in the market.

Enterprise information market is still in the early stage in China, the future will be in an upward trend. What we see is that if you have one of the best products in your hand, and the future market grows to its peak, there is only one surviving. Now everyone is using micro-letter, but 2 years ago there are people with rice chat and Talkbox, but the last remaining will be the best product. The so-called best products, that is, those who are right, the market, the market to do their best to allow users to accept its concept; product aspects, the design and performance to do the best. So, there is no best team is my most concerned about things now.

Advice to young people who are starting a business

If you want to open a company, you will need to pay attention to some important points:

1. When you are at the right time to do the right thing, you have to dare to do that and others are not the same decision, you have the courage to put the right of this decision in their own hands.

2. You have to work hard. You have to do things that you haven't done before and you don't even think about it. I used to think that I was doing research, I would never stand on the stage to speak, you have to do things that you did not think about.

3. In the end, you have to stick to it. Even if the people around you no longer recognize your time, as long as you insist, finally you will find that in fact will be good.

There is also a company called "Hungry", now the scale is very big. Once chatting with its CTO, he said: "If one thing you can stick to for 3 years, you should be able to make a point." ”

This is what I'm going through.
