Lith Chen President Shanghuazhong: Two people to start a business should be mutual humility

"Two of mutual humility entrepreneurs do not say cooperation for 20 years, 50 years of cooperation." Beijing Li-Chen Technology Co., Ltd. President Shanghuazhong's entrepreneurial experience can be traced back to the University era: at that time, he also studied in Tsinghua University, with work-study students Chi Yanming together opened a copy club, while the school's teachers and students to provide printing , photocopying services, while learning to repair these equipment.　　After graduating from college, Shanghuazhong Lucky to become the youngest branch of Tsinghua University general manager, this is an enviable job, but he did not stay in this position for too long, but chose to go to the United States for further study, the route to return to business. In 1999, Shanghuazhong returned from a master's degree in electronic engineering from the Ohio State University, and co-founded the Lith with Chi Yanming, an information technology service provider that provides outsourcing services for document management and video and audio management. Ten years later, although Lith has leapt to the top of the Chinese document outsourcing market, its business model is still not well known to most people. "Our business positioning is to make the government and corporate institutions free from ' Hinghan ' through innovative models." At present, more than 85% of foreign institutions use this service model, but the Chinese market share less than 5%. , this is a real blue ocean. Shanghuazhong told global entrepreneur.　　Last October, Li-Chen as the first batch of gem listed companies successful IPO. I met with Chi Yanming around 1988, when we were junior students, in the school together with a copy club, on the one hand to the teachers, students to provide printing services, on the one hand to provide services to the community maintenance equipment. After graduating from college, Chi Yanming in the IT sales industry all the way down, because my hometown in the south, in order to keep the account in Beijing, entered the Tsinghua Violet.　　At that time, the president of Violet was called Zhang Ben, to provide a better stage for young people, I graduated less than half a year, was promoted to the general manager of Tsinghua Violet automation equipment Company. In the years of the Tsinghua Violet, the development is relatively smooth, the initial accumulation of some management experience. But after a few years, but also encountered some management problems, feel still should go out to study, 1995 resolutely resigned to the United States to read a few years of books, read an MBA, also read a msee (Electronic engineering Master).　　At the time at Ohio State University to learn the image compression, and video conferencing is very close to the field, so at the beginning of the video conferencing more understanding. and Chi Yanming After graduation set up the IT equipment sales company, a few years down although accumulated some funds and customers, but there are many disorderly competition in Zhongguancun, IT equipment retail profit is getting lower, the company changed several times name, never found a way out.　　When I returned home in 1999, we came together again, began to consider the new business model, and founded the Lith Chen. We first organized a group of senior executives to study in the United States, an IT equipment company introduced us a new business: they provide people, equipment, supplies, help guestsHouseholds to reduce costs, improve efficiency of the document outsourcing business, which occupies a large proportion of the company, but also bring a lot of profits, we feel very fresh.　　Later, file management outsourcing became our main business. Also in 1999, Norwegian video conferencing manufacturer Teng Bo, a vice president of the visit to China, we introduced the Video conferencing project.　　At that time video conferencing in China just started, not only expensive, will use a small number of people, but we feel with the popularity of the network, video conferencing is definitely a development direction, so opened a second new business, to the government, corporate institutions to provide video conferencing solutions. In today's Office information Systems Management Outsourcing services are a new model, 1999 time to promote the difficulty imaginable.　　The company in the gem listing, we call it the third venture: Work-Study is the first venture, the establishment of Li-Chen, the realization of business model transformation is the second venture; now the company is listed, but after all, the scale is limited, so we positioned it as the start of the third venture. Although faced with pressure, but I am not a workaholic managers, belong to the rest, can work, family, physical balance of the better kind. I and the pool is always the same blood type, personality is also more complementary; even if there are different views, mutual humility. Some say you two do not say cooperation 20 years, cooperation 50 years also no problem.
