How Wang Xiaoquan was Chen kicked out of business

Today, I met an old friend who has not seen each other for many years and talked about the rise of the Internet. If it is not 1999, Chen a boat kicked open the computer department of Tsinghua University dormitory door, today China's Internet arena may be another story. 1999, Zhou Yun Fan, Chen, Ning, the three young people who met at Stanford, with the Internet dream and a sum of money to return to Beijing, join the vigorous internet entrepreneurial tide. Return to business, talent problem is the key. At that time, the Silicon Valley of the Internet start-up companies, mostly from the school to dig people, three people decided: to educate someone! Tsinghua University, the computer department of the dormitory building is called Building 9th, the Department of each grade students in a building, the first floor is 96, the second floor is 95. A Saturday morning, Chen, Ning, Zhou Yun sail three people walked downstairs, kicked open the first dormitory door. One of the students in the dorm was stunned and asked who you were. "But these three people didn't answer the question, but rudely asked:" Who is the most bull in your grade? " A little scared of the students are afraid to take paper down, but he wrote not names, but ID. At that time Tsinghua Computer Department has a well-known nine well BBS, according to the ID list of BBS, Chen and other three people together successfully find the Department of the cattle people. The first one to be found was the Zhou Feng. Students of the Zhou Feng (later did NetEase Youdao CEO) live in 103, was sleeping on the top of his suddenly three strangers pushed wake up, shouted him down, asked: I heard you are your grades in the best?! Chatted for a while, the blood of Zhou Feng decided to Tsinghua Gate Chinaren to work. Zhou Feng at that time mainly to Chinaren write mailbox, with the part-time and Zhou Feng Bunk Xu Chang, and live in their next door 105 Wang Xiaoquan. Most of the time Chinaren gathered a large number of Tsinghua University computer department graduated and did not graduate, graduate students, undergraduate student to do part-time, and even specialized in Tsinghua next to find a third hall office. Since the students all went to part-time jobs, that summer became the most painful summer for the Tsinghua Computer Department teacher--at least half of the class were skipping classes. Because then, 14 years ago, Zhou Feng, Wang Xiaoquan, Xu Chang one months in chinaren part-time wages have 8000, it is tyrants. With the words of their classmates, it is the day to eat the Daily Fry. After finding talent, Chinaren finally came online in August 1999. But the Chinaren was not a familiar alumni, Chen a boat at first want to do, and Sohu, Sina, do the portal, but lucky, because the part-time Tsinghua computer Department five-word class (level 1995) students and a seven-letter class (1997) of the study of the younger brother wrote alumni, Later, people instead because alumni remember Chinaren, then chinaren along the direction of alumni go down. 2000, several Tsinghua studies in Wang Xiaoquan, Xu Chang, Zhou Feng, etc.After a year of part-time work for 8000 bucks a month, Sohu, Zhang, spent 4 million of its Nasdaq-listed shares to buy Chinaren at a price of nearly 30 million dollars. Since then Wang Xiaoquan and Zhou Feng have gone to Sohu. Sohu's mail system was first written by Zhou Feng. But in 2002 Zhou Feng decided to return to Tsinghua to continue to read the master, and then went to the United States to read Dr. Shuo, from Sohu, and later was Ding lei to do the Youdao, and Chinaren another founder Ning to do Goku search. Wukong Search name also and Chinaren related, at that time Chinaren has a question-type search engine called the Monkey King Search, ning new company's name to a large extent from the complex chinaren. and Wang Xiaoquan and Xu Chang chose to remain in the Sohu. A person familiar with the situation said that they did a product called Sohu Browser, did a great job, which is why Charles Zhang later heard Wang Xiaoquan do Sogou browser, naturally said no. This also explains the Wang Xiaoquan of the 2008, when Charles Zhang blew his fuse and elevated him. Before the failure of the browser product let Zhang Chaoyang browser to Sohu not work ", strongly opposed." But try to persuade Zhang Wang Xiaoquan side do Sogou Input method, the other side or secretly made up the browser, that is, level two rocket browser. The result of this approach is that Sogou's search business was once entrusted to others, Wang Xiaoquan was in the doghouse, the status of a nosedive. It is said that at the lowest point, sometimes he just wiped the table, thinking about life, received from Baidu Robin Li was mistaken that may be leaving. It was a tough but Wang Xiaoquan day for the rest of the world. In an interview, he said, from 2008 to 2010, I really felt this pain, you have children, you for him, not to die, you have to give birth. "A change of staff or the boss of the estimated early two scattered, but Lao Zhang can endure, I can endure." "A year later, Zhang was finally able to see that the browser was right and that Wang Xiaoquan was reused again." Later the story we all know, Wang Xiaoquan perfected the three-class rocket system, completed Sogou search How to find the problem of traffic, Sogou's pattern suddenly suddenly enlightened. And with Wang Xiaoquan stay in Sohu Xu Chang also became Sohu technical director. In 2005, Xu Chang left Sohu to the net, that is, everyone later. There is a small story, at that time Renren is actually another person, but also a strong competitor Chinaren. There was a famous billboard called Everyone on the Chinaren ", both sides to reach the full." 2005, Chen a boat to have died of the elderly people net "renren.com domain name bought, in 2009, the network renamed Renren. In Wang Xiaoquan to do the Sogou, 2006, from the United States returned to Zhou Feng was Ding Lei recruit to do the Youdao. But compared with Sogou, at that time the Youdao has a significant error, is because Sogou has done the input method, YoudaoDo not want to be criticized by the industry to copy, so do a Youdao dictionary. But the dictionary's transformation is too difficult. That year, Sogou began to go forward, but the Youdao and Sogou distance more and more far. At that time, Wang Xiaoquan has been very clear, in the Baidu search box under the strong competition, only to do the browser this layer has the opportunity to become users of the flow of the entrance, but at that time did not see the Youdao, then the Zhou but see understand. The story pulls back to the beginning. Is gold, where all will glow, perhaps without chinaren internship experience, Wang Xiaoquan, Xu Chang, Zhou Feng or can be in the history of China's internet left a thick and thick. But if 1999, not that year to do Chinaren Chen a boat, Zhou Yun fan, ning the door of Tsinghua dormitory kicked open, the story of the internet today may be another version. [Author: Liu]
