Kai-Fu Lee teaches Silicon Valley entrepreneurial experience: rejected jobs invitation

Kai-Fu Lee lead: Foreign media published yesterday, Google China's former president of the "Innovation Workshop" and the development of China's science and technology start-up companies reported the characteristics. The following is the full text: in the scientific and technological sector, few Chinese executives have the reputation of being able to compare with Lee, who was tasked by Bill Gates to run Microsoft's operations in China, after Google founder Larry Page and Sergey (Sergey Brin)　　's gracious invitation to join Google, and has declined Apple CEO Steve Jobs to invite him to join Apple's Steve. His latest adventure is "Innovation Factory" (Innovationworks), a 115 million-dollar fund that supports early-stage technology companies, similar to a laboratory designed to teach the nation of 1.2 billion people a course, the best description of which is: "Silicon Valley 101" ( Note: 101 Common words for foreign titles, such as "101 Ways to Change Your life".　　His efforts will take full advantage of the ambitions of the rising economic giant-one day with its own, world-leading technology companies. A recent Saturday in October, he became a crowd of more than 100 aspiring entrepreneurs. These people won a local TV program to host the competition, so they can listen to Lee's speech in person.　　They were dressed in suits and came to Lee's office, cheering and shouting, as if he were Steve Jobs. "He is a superstar," said Meng, an intern at the innovation Workshop.　　"Meng to work with the charismatic Kai-Fu Lee postponed her MBA program at Columbia University.　　Lee said that in China he can "add value in a way that no one else can match".　　"Kai-fu Lee faces a daunting task," said Marknatkin, executive director of Beijing Marbridge Consulting Co., Marbridgeconsulting, a start-up company. Natkin added: "A lot of people, including investors, are used to standing behind him." Ultimately, we want to see whether the company he chooses to hatch will take off or fail. Natkin said Lee's performance in Google is mixed.　　During his tenure, Google China's market share soared from 16% to 31%, but still far behind the dominant local search engine Baidu. Kai-Fu Lee recently unveiled 5 innovative factory-backed companies, 4 of which are mobile technology start-ups that focus heavily on Google's Android operating system. However, there is no revolutionary technology.　　For a technology start-up company or a new country, these companies are a start.　　In Silicon Valley, Lee said, many professionals are willing to join startups at any stage of their careers, but in China, most people have a sense of urgency when they graduate.He said: "Maybe once you reach the age of 32, you will have families and children, and you need to send your children to a good school." Parents want their children to own their own homes and children, which may stifle young people's entrepreneurial dreams.　　But China's ambitions to build a "world-changing" business are growing. The most sought-after figures not only Chinese entrepreneurs squeeze into the hope of working with Kai-Fu Lee, technology giants also in the court for his red. After Google opened the company from Microsoft, the two giants began a protracted litigation war. Microsoft finally failed to prevent Lee from joining its competitors.　　Not only that, before signing in the late 1990s to join Microsoft, Lee also rejected another "suitor"-jobs. One day, Lee's wife told him, "Apple has a man named Steve to call you, and he wants you to call back."　　"Lee's wife worked there before Jobs returned to Apple," he said. Lee said: "Steve?" I don't know anyone named Steve at Apple. "When Lee called back by the phone number, he was surprised that he was answering the phone by Steve Jobs. "Your former subordinates told me you were a good boss and they wanted me to bring you back," Jobs told him. You should go back to the Apple and decide if you want to come to Microsoft.　　Kai-fu Lee rejected Jobs ' kindness because he had promised to go to Microsoft. Lee has expressed his dissatisfaction with Google's defeat of the world's largest Internet market in a PowerPoint presentation of his own creation workshop.　　He said Google was "focused on short-term interests, not authorized by local teams, ignoring local market demand, big product doctrine, and unwilling to make adjustments to the Chinese market".　　Investment in Creative Kai-Fu Lee said that the volume developers will choose the Android platform, they will also receive high-quality hardware support, but if they want to bind Google services to these Android devices, they must do more work.　　Most investors are investing money in industries such as real estate in search of quick returns, while Mr. Lee focuses on ideas. He said: "It is Buffett's style-to do things contrary to others." We're not going to make a profit for at least 5 years and that's an optimistic estimate. "(Chin Liang)
