I always thought Hua was one of China's top early investors.

He is the managing Partner of Innovation Workshop and is responsible for investment affairs. If Kai-Fu Lee is the banner of Innovation Factory, that Hua is the person who carries the banner. Innovation Workshop as an investment organization, once in the investment sector Seminar, Hua sat in the middle, surrounded by a circle of people, each one to state the facts, comments, provide new information, and throw their own questions. Hua, like a blender at home, digests information and gives answers. You ask me to answer, disorderly in order.

I am very impressed with Hua's words, he said that money can not be without, but there are many ways to earn money. You can make a lot of money, or you can earn less and do more valuable things than earn money. If you just make money to earn money, the first not necessarily can earn, money this thing you think is really not necessarily come;

Hua is the busiest person in innovation workshops, busy studying the Internet, research products, and research investment projects. In the past 5 years, I have probably talked to him 5 times, the first two times, only half an hour, interrupted by something else, and a second afternoon in February 2012, he chatted with me while he was eating a deferred lunch. His hair is oily and She. In August 2011 and April 2012, I attended two outdoor outreach activities at the innovation Workshop and played Texas poker at night. Hua is a Texas poker enthusiast, but the first time he did not attend, the second time he played one hours left, went back to the room to study mobile phones.

And Hua's best, favorite thing to do, is to delve into a product, and to meet with the entrepreneur one-on-one communication, in-depth use of feedback and suggestions. He played the mobile phone into a fine, often play to the early morning 3, 4, see new mobile phone applications, domestic, foreign, their own, competitors. Then, in a coherent, 123 summary. He thought clearly and clearly. Lee told me.

Before and Hua Exchange, his evaluation is "I am a single-threaded person, long board particularly long, short plate especially short, short to others feel very bad." I did it on purpose. People's time and energy is limited, unrelated chores to abandon, do the most interesting things, unit time efficiency is the highest. People want to have interest, have a dream, to dare to their own interests and dreams give up other things. ”

2009, Innovation Workshop selected the mobile internet investment direction. At the time, Hua and I talked about the three steps of mobile Internet: The first step was to solve the problem of Android phones, the second step was social and entertainment, and the third step was business. His pre-award was validated from 2009 to 2014.

While recording "Entrepreneurship and his Friends", Hua and I talked about the future again. He said: "More than 10 years before the mobile internet is just a prelude, the equivalent of the first electric power just invented, used in lighting and factories, we feel very powerful, great innovation." But then, you'll find that everything in your house has been transformed into electrification. By the time the electricity goes into the tens of thousands of homes, and when we use mobile phones and power to really change the world, the revolution in lighting and factories that has just begun, and its eventual reinvention of society as a whole, is not worth talking about. ”

"We think that the mobile Internet of the past five years is a huge revolution, and I have always felt that this was the beginning of a great era." The last 15 years of the Internet and the last five years of mobile internet have just begun to create a virtual world. And the entire human race will be revolutionized by the virtual world. Or the great age of the information revolution, has just begun. ”

Innovation Factory has cast more than 100 companies, in Hua seems to be divided into two categories: one is to improve the efficiency of the whole society, the whole society automation. For example, electric business, O2O, etc. The other is to help people pass the time, such as gaming companies, social networking companies and so on.

The two are also related. A long time ago, it was possible that 90% of the planet's population needed to be engaged in agriculture to feed humans. With the large-scale use of machines, fertilizers and cultivation techniques, agricultural production is becoming more efficient, requiring only 10% of the population to carry out agricultural production to feed humans. Liberated population, engaged in industrial production, engaged in cultural production and so on.

The automation brought by the Internet, mobile Internet and the increase of production efficiency will make many existing jobs and jobs lose their function. More people will be liberated, to the fields that produce spiritual consumer goods for human beings and flow to create virtual worlds.
