Huangyi said that to do a "heterogeneous", in fact, is to allow themselves unlimited access to the 00 or even after the thinking. In his opinion, many of the thoughts that are not understood by the people after 00 may become popular one day. The internet is a very fast-moving place, and it is a place that can easily be subverted by later people. If Internet entrepreneurs do not do this, it is easy to be eliminated by the Internet.

In this office area of about 300 square meters, it accommodates more than 40 employees. Yesterday 2 o'clock in the afternoon, none of the seats were in the sky. Some computer page stops in a movie, some stops on Taobao page.
"We are doing ' wonderful ' group activities today, go, I take you!" Huangyi led the Chengdu Business newspaper reporter to the software Park a District a café. Like the new launch of the Internet, a young man stood beside the projection screen, talking about his photographic team's ideas. Company staff all sit below, from time to time bursts of laughter and "Yi" such disdain, the sound of the self-defeating.
These young people, is a lot of girls use the "Tea beauty makeup" behind the people. Huangyi said the app's active users have reached 5 million, the country's largest mobile beauty community.
At this point, Huangyi said, the reason for holding such a "wonderful group" activities, is to inspire all the staff of all kinds of creativity, the more wonderful the better. Only in this way constantly thinking collision, wipe the beauty of tea can always walk in front.
Woke up two years ago.
No business, no chance.
Huangyi is very thin and wears blue shirts and grey trousers. In addition to a pair of oversized frame glasses, is basically a technical man's image.
The Mianyang boy, who entered electronic technology in 2006. However, Huangyi is very interested in the Internet at school. He studied the Web front-end production technology, and in the school's network studio to help schools to do Web pages.
At that time, the school network (after renamed Renren) in colleges and universities popular. 2009, Huangyi participated in the National College Students ' creative contest held by the net, and won the Silver Award. His idea at the time was to increase the space for couples in the campus. Perhaps, this is his first internet product originality.
After that he entered the company for an internship. After graduating in 2010, Huangyi entered the company. After the company made 3.5 product managers, Huangyi suddenly decided to quit his job. No wages, job-hopping and other reasons, "I just want to start a business." ”
Huangyi, shaking his own iphone, says it's scary that everyone has more than four or five hours of time on this. He has a deep sense of the power of the Internet, especially the mobile internet. "Maybe I've had a revolutionary global wave in my life, and I don't have a chance to start a business." "Slightly emaciated Huangyi firmly said.
In March 2013, Huangyi resigned, pulling a partner back to Chengdu to start a business. In the High-tech zone, he applied for a year free office space, and then received a 100,000 Yuan venture fund. Apart from that, he and his partner made a sum of money, and the company opened.
2 months later, they launched the app "wipe the beauty of the tea". This product positioning for the beauty industry "I check", the user by scanning code to obtain merchandise information, for their final purchase to provide a reference.
Women want stories to experience
We're going to be a social platform for beauty makeup.

Looking back just two years of entrepreneurial experience, Huangyi regrets that the internet industry is a "low threshold, high burst" entrepreneurial environment. "High outbreak", heterogeneous, which he likes the Green Giant reason. The young Huangyi has a big appetite, and he wants his business to become the biggest consumer entrance for the beauty makeup category. Further afield, he hopes to be able to list overseas.
"Creators" said
Entrepreneurs have to take risks. There is nothing wrong with starting a business. It is better not to start a business without a safe person.
