The original century Jia Yuan founder, now 91 foreign Teachers Network and Ladder network President Gong is a legendary woman, set migrant sister, Beida talent, China Network matchmaker first person, such as multiple identities in one; what's the story behind her startup? What difficulties has she encountered in her venture? Why do you choose to leave two startups at the top of your career?

NetEase Finance: Entrepreneurship is a relatively arduous process, why do you start to choose the business again?

Gong: I think life is a journey, entrepreneurship is also to pursue a better scenery, and my character is like tossing, willing to try something new, for me I am very enjoy the entrepreneurial process, did not feel that there are some hardships, but entrepreneurship is to make my life will be more substantial.

NetEase Finance: Formerly is a public company's executive, has such aura, now is a beginning to start a new business founder, the middle will have what drop feeling?

Gong: Originally is the century good margin CEO, now afresh starts from the zero to start a start-up company, period very important one thing is own mentality to return to zero. I am a very fast person to adjust, today resigned the CEO, the next day is a return to zero mentality, just like many friends at that time suspected that my second venture will be the same as amateurs, that is, every day may just go to the company to see what, in fact, is not. I decided to sell the house right away because I was afraid that if the money would break down in the future, I would rent a room downstairs. And I am also like all colleagues, we are working overtime on Saturdays, more than 10 hours a day to rush forward, so I think it is easier for me to adjust, not so much lost, because everything is their own choice.

NetEase finance: This two times the feeling of entrepreneurship is different? Is it easier or more difficult to start a business with your first time?

Gong: I feel more calm, I will have more self-confidence, including recruitment, my first venture when only my family would like to believe me, willing to work with me, this may be a lot easier, there are many good people in the beginning is willing to join the team, so I think this is very different. Second venture, many investors are willing to believe you, the first time to look for investment is not particularly easy, so I feel that many will not be the same, will be more smooth.

But from another point of view, the first time not too much pressure on their own, because there is not much hope for the future, but the second venture is in the spotlight very high-profile start, all the people are watching, see if you can do something.

NetEase finance: Oneself to oneself of pressure.

Gong: Yes, maybe I will care whether this matter can make a result, oneself also will have a request, this is very different place.

NetEase Finance: The founding of the century Jiayuan, give people the feeling you are a kind of inadvertently inserted willow shade such a result. Do you have any vision for the future?

Gong: Century Jiayuan is indeed very accidental, inadvertently inserted willow, because a very small thing finally led me to make a decision to do a marriage website, because in the matchmaking agency I was they cheated 500 yuan. This time the Internet education is my own choice, I am very optimistic about this piece, and I also like this piece. Because I think the second venture as far as possible to choose a comparison of sunshine, a comparison of the Chaoyang industry, and the market area is also very broad, now ladder nets and 91 foreign education Network I think in the future should be able to make a little achievement.

NetEase Finance: Look you did not understand the Internet, also do not know when matchmaking, can go to this market began to do this industry, now is, in fact, you do not understand education, but you should be very understanding of the Internet now, why do you have so much confidence in yourself?

Gong: In fact, at the beginning of the century, it is true that I, as a very typical liberal arts girl, completely do not understand it technology, also do not understand the Internet, will only surf the internet to see news, chat QQ, send mail, but self-study (07:36 English), did a most simple static page, hung a friend of mine in the above support me, Did not expect to develop to today more than 90 million of registered users, I think things are done at 1.1 points, now I think the education is not so much distance, although we do not dare to say that they are experts, but also so many years in an education system, we are from the students to do 1.1 points up, And he's been a student for more than 10 years, for me there will also be a lot of their own ideas, so the education of this thing although do not understand, but not like I want to do mobile phones, do TV, do washing machines, I think it will make me feel more unfamiliar, education in fact, let me feel a feeling of intimacy.

NetEase Finance: You leave century good edge is you not optimistic about the future of marriage dating site?

Gong: Many people look at the problem is more utilitarian, but for me who have a dream, in fact, many times not so short-sighted, not that I am optimistic or not optimistic, I just more standing in my own life to consider this problem, I think people are this lifetime, no previous life nor afterlife, I hope my life will be more interesting, I just from my personal point of view, I did ten years, it is very good, Century good edge is very social benefits, economic benefits are also good, but for me to do for ten years, I am a little tired, I hope to challenge themselves, Let oneself again like dozen chicken blood as very passionate to do one thing, two times entrepreneurship let me back to such a state, of course, once in the century good edge I am also such a state, but after the listing is really difficult, is that you go back to the previous state.

NetEase Finance: Do you think women are facing more pressure and challenge and difficulty than men in the process of entrepreneurship?

Gong: I think the internet era of equality between men and women, if we go hunting, we go to farming, maybe we as women, physically there is a great disadvantage, but now is not the same, everyone in front of a computer, I think the girls did not say that particularly obvious disadvantage, Just say our traditional concept determines that a lot of women can not put her focus on the work, more still want to take care of their families, return to the family, but a choice is not just, but not equal to say that women are now entrepreneurial more disadvantage.

NetEase Finance: How do you balance work and family, is there some good advice to share with women friends?

Gong: In fact, my proposal is relatively simple and direct, our family is my husband at home, I came out to work, my husband from 2006 March to now has not looked for a job, so, because always need someone to take care of family, worry about some things in the family, in many cases must have a choice, Our family may be because my career has developed smoothly, my husband gave up his own development and stood behind me, and for many women it may be that if they want to start a business, maybe the other half she's looking for must support her, or this could be the biggest obstacle.
