Entrepreneurship, is how many people have been longing for. There are tears, there is jubilation, there is deception, there is friendship ...

Some say you want to make a difference, either start a business or go abroad. Once innocent of us, how many people once entered the society, because the various kinds of the fraud I cheat, gradually grind flat their own ideals. Slowly, go to work, clock, work, clocking in the rhythm of Life day after day, unconsciously accustomed to, forget their original intention, buried in the crowd.

The first start-up, which dates back to about 2006 years. If 2003 is the fastest-growing year for China's broadband. Then, 2006, it can be said that the mobile phone industry in China's fastest growing year.

At that time the mobile phone industry, or Nokia's world, when HTC is not called HTC, but called Dopod. Remember when the government also gave Chengguan a mobile phone with smart navigation, which is one of the dopod models.

At that time, there is a brand day mobile phone, highly praised, but due to the supply of tension, there is a situation of demand. So, we started a few people start a business, and the main push of the mobile phone, is the Japanese phone.

My position in the team, mainly responsible for the establishment of Taobao shops and independent shop-Shanghai mobile phone network construction. Because it was very popular with Microsoft's ASP, I apart the head of the decision to make the Web site architecture as asp+access.

Soon, due to the use of ready-made open source program, less than a week, our independent shop and Taobao store was established.

But at that time, I was still reading, work and study can not be taken into account. Therefore, I mainly in the weekend to maintain a two small stations, and the usual physical store operations and operations, is managed by other partners.

There have been several major personnel changes in the company. For the first time, one of the first contributors withdrew from the project for personal reasons. Then the company moved the address and recruited a part-time college student as a partner. But also because of work and study can not both, not long, also withdrawal.

Later, I helped our independent shop to do a mobile version of the website, we gradually monopolized the brand of mobile phone supply, the scale continues to expand and grow.

Not last, due to various internal and external causes, may be at that time, we are still young, may not be a rich experience of the core leadership. Everyone finally broke up ...

My second venture was a distant relative of mine. This venture, from the last sale of products, into selling services. Our title is called Shaft Living studio, mainly engaged in enterprise, home network erection, desktop, notebook computer maintenance. Actually, it's kind of like a computer hospital now. There were a number of orders on and off, but most of them were little.

The third venture, in today's words, should be regarded as a Web2.0 platform. Site name changes many times, from the initial Ebbot, to the last love Bo net. The site was operated for five years. It was originally a Web2.0 navigation platform. Also ashamed to say, although the operation for so long, but in fact this site is not profitable.

The fourth time to start a business, this can be said to be the first time. Almost full time into operation. The name of the project is called "Campus Star Network", simply speaking, is a network (now Renren) third-party Auxiliary platform. The content of the website mainly divides into the school template, the background music, the school software, the campus mall and so on several plates. During the period, but also independently developed a net of the brush popular software. Web site traffic is also relatively high, but the entrepreneurial is the shortest time, only less than a few months or so. The reason is because of their negligence-no site backup. At that time due to limited funds, the choice of server business is a friend on the Internet. Later learned that he was only rented a server, and then divided into hundreds of virtual host space to sell. Why does no backup cause the site to shut down? Because, after six months, the server did not renew the fee, and then directly human evaporation ... This is a painful lesson, all said that the Internet is a virtual economy, but this one of the vast empire, but also our internet people every bit of effort cast built up.

The fifth time to start a business, is now the house max. The original intention of entrepreneurship, in fact, is to do a personal blog + electronic resume, perhaps from a point of view, is not a start-up. But the more you do, the more users find, many people in the industry are very concerned about this small station. You can say that you are a more like to try new things. In order to study a variety of web site construction procedures, based on personal blog, has opened through video stations, forums, calendar of events, online shop, radio, Electronic magazine, encyclopedia and many other stations. The site also has several problems, such as the content page can not be opened, the Web site can not login, Web site can not access. Later did a lot of work, such as regular backup, access optimization, mirror Station and so on. The lesson of this venture is, if you really want to start a business, or full-time investment is better, so that not only people can obsessed into their favorite work, on the other hand, also save a lot of unnecessary trouble.
