Mo Yantan: "Technical idiot" entrepreneurial original impulse to promote success

In Yantan, the founder of Science and Technology, no matter what business or life, there is nothing to be too tangled. Heart, and did.

As he in the answer why just in NetEase to do the chief editor soon resigned to the founder of the Mo, a slip mouth to say "is a kind of primitive impulse ah!" "The afternoon sun is strong, hit on the big table on the reflection of a large light, yantan slightly narrowed eyes, but the look is flashing light." He told http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/17657.html > global entrepreneur that by the end of 2010, when he started using smartphones, he thought of doing location-based social products, "you know, It's the kind of feeling that you can't stop the idea of moving, and sitting in the office all day is not reassuring. ”

Of course, this is the driving force. Completely irrational and not like Taurus personality, despite the love of gourmet beauty girl, but he still played a practical and pragmatic characteristics. The domestic and foreign markets were reviewed at that time, consulted no fewer than 100 experts, and then judged: startups have to do without prototypes, the odds are greater-this allows the cottage to come a little later, to meet more demand.

"You see, now the urbanization process is so fast, people are very lonely." Yantan said, in fact, everyone has an impulse to communicate, and the MO is so attached to the mobile terminal on the implementation of the body, philosophically speaking, is the body of the organ extension.

Had to mention the "about Cannon artifact" This label, Yantan also has a reflection, and is trying to label.

is not MO 1.0 too exaggerated the role of the photo? Do you specialize in point-to-point offline relationships and create a push for this tag? "We are not very innocent," he admits. But maybe, not to go to the label is not yantan very concerned about, because he is so advocating "free impulse" people.

However, just upgraded to Dad's Yantan, now more willing to think how to let the community want to communicate with the children of the mother can quickly find each other, can also group a small team in the Mo Chat, and can be together with the baby to play together; he also thought that half of the Chinese people live in the neighborhood, but why do they see foreigners? , can let everyone meet to come out, instead of like potatoes home watching TV online. These 2.0 versions are planned for optimization and improvement.

As a media-born "technical idiot", Yantan felt it was a great effort to take control of a technology company. He believes that in the technical talent is not scarce today, entrepreneurship are ça, is: products, people, and money.

For this venture, do you ask Yantan that you are happy? He won't say "My surname is Don", he told you "very happy" directly.

Technology Idiot Entrepreneurship

There is no doubt that Mo is a product-leading company. At the beginning of the company, only Yantan and product manager Lei Xiaoliang two people. At that time, they were all in NetEase, with yantan words, Ray is his nine years work in the butt of the only technician.

"I said to him, you do with me, so we have two people." Lei Xiaoliang immediately agreed, but let Yantan dumbfounded is, then he asked Ray: "You think besides we still lack who?" Ray told him: "We still lack a technology." "Aren't you the technology?" "I am a product. ”

So, a shocking fact is: At that time, in addition to the product to think good, nothing, even people are not complete.

Yantan does not care about this, he is concerned about the "time window", so "pick up the basket is the dish." By Lei Xiaoliang introduced a real technical personnel, three people team of the MO Technology on the horse. Before and after less than three months, August 3, 2011, in the iOS App Store on the official debut, the day the user downloads reached 2000. The next day, Tencent's micro-letter on the new version, covering the geographical location of this function.

It's this technical idiot, in the following year, not only led the company valued 100 million U.S. dollars, access to tens of thousands of users, so that daily active users more than 2 million, and in a short year to complete the B round of financing, so that he said that the cash "seven or eight years are not spent."

In the Yantan view, in the 90 's, the technology resources scarce, so it startups are the technical staff started very normal. But now, doing business is no more than three things: good products, good governance, good money, "ça."

Talking about the nine years of media experience in NetEase, he admits, this experience, the harvest of information on the vision and determination and observation of people.

In NetEase, because do is the editor-in-chief, so every day on the portal site on all the plate to see, this made Yantan a true information freak, and once he went abroad to see the news, he was instantly caught in a state of madness, and the cognitive system, which had been perfected from a great deal of information, was what he thought was most useful to him in his life. Yantan said that in an era of information explosion, the event is true or false, any seemingly particularly dramatic news, or seemingly particularly cutting-edge trends, to restore their lives and work experience, quweicunzhen, rather than parrot.

There are people and human nature to observe. In his view of human nature should be the overall grasp, although the process has particularity, but finally to do the overall description, as the MO, is to seize the people are always eager to contact and the Chinese are not good direct communication of this commonality and characteristics of unity. Both at work and in negotiations, Yantan is accustomed to making logical judgments about the information the other person says, and he has a good sense of logic for the journalist.

There are a few seconds of clearance, his thinking as if in two of the experience of the shuttle, and then drank a mouthful of coffee, Yantan said, "I think the editor-in-chief, deputy Editor no difference, are working." If you want to start a business, what you get from a part-time job seems trivial. If I fail to do business, and then go back to play a job, it does not matter. He smiled.

A career in happiness

On the product, the MO has a characteristic, from 1.0 to include the process of version upgrade, and then to 2.0, so far, the product has been optimized to change, in the development of very conservative, in the Yantan brain, start-up companies do not necessarily have done, focus better. But the reality restricts the condition is the technical pressure is actually bigger, the company server in this year unceasingly in the upgrade transformation.

In the rapid development of the company in addition to internal pressure, micro-letter This "aggression" also follows. Although there is an acquaintance between the two and the essential difference between the relationship between strangers, but Yantan also know that the future of both functions are likely to have more and more overlap, such as micro-letter to find people in the vicinity is already a stranger relationship, membership fees and other models are not too much.

But he says the venture can be used in one word: happiness. The development of the product see he said far more than his imagination, MO and micro-letter two app are installed users, so there is no absolute sadness.

Trouble, or return to the essence of the problem, is how to seize the user and precipitate a sticky.
