Chen has been in business for 6 years. Once he was a favored, after graduating directly into the world's top 500 enterprises, after a hard struggle to sit on the seat of the middle-level cadres. But just 2 years later, he resolutely abandoned the stable work and generous treatment and put into the entrepreneurial army, this walk, is six years.

Recalling the entrepreneurial experience of these years, Chen that working with companies is completely different feeling. Work in the enterprise, stable, comfortable, but mechanized, their own entrepreneurship, overtime, loneliness, but full and satisfied, self-worth embodied. Chen's vision of entrepreneurship is not a success, not a round B and IPO, he believes that entrepreneurship is a way to keep the curiosity, find the ego, but also the only way to achieve self-worth. Recalling 6 years of entrepreneurial experience, he said with emotion: "The Pursuit of Dreams is a very extravagant thing, but the value." ”

The following is the reporter's summary of the interview with the founder of Xi ' an Qi Rui (excerpt): Chen

"Webmaster": First, please briefly introduce your entrepreneurial team.

Chen: At present, our team has a total of 6 people, according to the responsibilities of everyone divided into "research and development", "Customer service" and "administrative" three categories. Starting business since 2005, we have been engaged in discuz! Peripheral Plug-ins and application development work, belong to a typical small development team, or you call us as "small entrepreneurial workshop" will do.

"Webmaster": What to do before starting a business?

Chen: In one of the world's top 500 central enterprises, working as the IT information manager, mainly responsible for ERP projects.

"Webmaster": This should belong to a good job at that time, why will choose to leave business?

Chen: What do you say? Work in large enterprises, well-paid, stable work, there are some sense of achievement and satisfaction. But over time, a step-by-step, disciplined work has become a fetter and a fetter on imagination. For example, before reading, I was full of curiosity, every encounter a little novelty of things, very excited, but with the same work, curiosity is covered with a layer of dust, as if the ego and nature slowly between the comb.

Leaving the top 500 companies for up to 6 years, it seems to me to be looking back at nature, a response to curiosity.

"Webmaster": Entrepreneurship These years, has been maintaining a small team size? Have you ever thought about expansion?

Chen: Thought, between bigger and deeper, we chose the latter. Our team's core values are: trust, responsibility. Trust is the customer, and the responsibility is their own burden. Very simple 2 words, but not so easy to achieve--to get the recognition of customers, we are beyond the expectations of pay; stay up late is the usual, once a night overtime, suffering from otitis media for one months; in the face of customer demand change and picky, we can only regret the changes ... Of course, the most happy is the customer feel "OK" in the moment and overtime after the brothers eat a snack, which makes me feel the value of their own entrepreneurship and the warmth of the team.

"Webmaster": In the entrepreneurial process, let you feel the most memorable thing is what?

Chen: I feel the most memorable is discuz! To our recognition, the government's recognition of us, as well as webmaster recognition of us. I've been involved in discuz! many times. Organization of the development Contest, and repeated awards, this year again won the "discuz! ten excellent application development team"; In addition, the XI ' an government has visited our company many times, for our entrepreneurial refueling, these years to serve many fields of professional leading forum, the webmaster has been supporting us.

"Webmaster": Your team in discuz! Many of the products developed by the Application Center are free, how to support the profit and development of the team?

Chen: We have also developed a number of fee plug-ins, but the beginning of Qi Rui only vigorously promote the free public service Plug-ins, classic Plug-ins, so more popular with customers. The use of public goods is also to win the trust of customers a method, when you set up their own brand and customer trust, and then push charges plug-in profit is logical. We currently have a total of 16 applications in the Application Center, and the benefits are good. Here also want to thank the Application Center this good platform, if simple summary, I think three words can represent the Application Center platform characteristics: "Authoritative, reliable, trustworthy."

Webmaster: What is your most successful application at the moment? What are the advantages compared to competitors?

Chen: Qi Rui Development of the application of more than about more than 10, the most popular is "Qi Rui home Four", for several years has been very good. "Qi Rui Home Four" the biggest value is the forum's core content, a variety of themes and pictures and other flexible display, so that members in the first time to master the forum's dynamic and value. In the Application Center there are more than similar applications, but "seven first four lattice" adhere to constantly updated, to date has been updated to version 7.9, almost no bugs, and very stable and reliable, the most critical point, is the free public dedication to the general webmaster, although free, but a long time to pay a lot of painstaking efforts, adhere to the update and maintenance.

"Webmaster": What kind of application do you think is more popular with webmaster?

Chen: According to the category, Forum display class, member interaction class and the application of e-commerce class are more popular. Here need to remind stationmaster is, taboo target unclear or repeatedly change, do not take own interest as orientation, and ignore member's real demand.

"Webmaster": Finally to struggle on the road entrepreneurs, developers say a winning speech.

Chen: share one of the words in the three-body novel: any detached thought would slam into the sky and the gravity of the reality would be too heavy. Startups, companies are real tools, they're just tools we use to pursue our dreams, not necessarily with wealth, success, and IPO. I think of a female entrepreneur I know, her net name is Night Moon, Zheng. As a result of disability and can not go out, unable to work, through contact with the Internet and self-study, she also became a webmaster, developers, and by their own pay to earn income. For the shencanzhijian of her to suffer, entrepreneurship equals work, but also the realization of self-worth, this is my understanding of the real sense of entrepreneurship. (Reporter/Zhang Xiao hu)
