Will the next internet big guy be Wang?

Wang should be one of the most famous entrepreneurs in China and one of the best entrepreneurs in China. His experience summed up: Ten years of entrepreneurship, nine defeats a win.

Nearly 10 projects before the net had failed because of the wrong direction.

NET, Team no problem, the direction is no problem, is lack of money.

Rice no net, not lack of money, the team can also, the product is good, timing, do not understand politics.

Domestic network, not lack of money, the direction of no problem, team no problem, political also no problem, but the product is not.

The United States network, not lack of money, the direction of no problem, team no problem, product or not lack of money.

So, the American network is done.

The United States Group Network, the company from more than 5,000 group buying site to kill a trail of companies, has become the most concerned about the current one of the start-up companies. August 2014, the United States Regiment net monthly turnover exceeded 4.5 billion yuan.

My new book, "Nine defeats a win: the founder of the United States Wang Decade" is now in the When, Jingdong, Amazon pre-sale, from July 2013 onwards, to August 2013 the next printing plant, this book I spent a year. The contents of the book are all from my interview with the United States Regiment, thanks to Wang and the United States Group of Trust to me, open all the senior executives, some mid-level and front-line staff to let me interview, so I can get a fresh content.

In order to do this book, I often stay at night around 9 o'clock in the United States in the Office of the group, North Star Thai Yue mansion, interview the senior executives, when they have just concluded a meeting, sometimes chatting to the wee hours before one or two o ' clock to go home. Remember once and the United States network sales Vice President Yang Chat, from the school to Rice, and then to the United States network, he has stayed, has been chatting for five hours, I and he is a neighbour, back to the community, it is 2 o'clock in the morning 40. Yang alleged desperately three Lang, the next 9 o'clock in the morning, Yang sent me a micro-letter: Oh, I have a meeting in the Office.

On the evening of March 1, 2014, I chatted with Wang at a café in Wangjing for four hours, until one o'clock in the morning. This is the last interview in the book.

November 13, 2013 night, I and the United States Network COO Canga Wei Chat After the evening is 11 o'clock, I hurried into the bathroom, met the same hurried out of the Wang, I came out from the bathroom, the United States Network Office is already dark, but Wang a person waiting for me at the door, he gave me to brush open the office door, " Now there is no one in the office, if I do not give you credit card, you do not go, "he said:" Now the matter has not been done, I think there is nothing good to write. ”

Yes, in my eyes, Wang and his network of the United States, but also has a broad prospects, but also has a difficult way to wait for a trek. There is no end to entrepreneurship, even if a successful listing of a company does not mean that it is "done", as Wang Quote, "only the dead can see the end of war."

Although Wang is far from seeing the end of entrepreneurship, I think his 10-year experience in the past is enough to write a book. This repeatedly defeated entrepreneurs, always adhere to the ego, wave after wave of entrepreneurship. Now is the best age for Chinese entrepreneurs, internet start-up costs have reached a record low, bandwidth costs have been reduced, open source software development can reduce the number of engineers required for the project, software sales can be placed in the electronic store, the promotion can be used social platforms and search engines. There is also enough money in the market for entrepreneurs to find investors more easily than in the past.

More importantly, this is a new era of business change, the traditional industry, all unnecessary, loss of efficiency of the link, are the object of change. It is the opportunity for entrepreneurs to get better services and products for users at a better cost.

All entrepreneurs face a lot of problems, confusion is not personal, there is common. In addition to their own to explore the stone walk, they can learn from those who go farther on the entrepreneurial road to learn experience and lessons.

Wang is a very typical entrepreneurial sample, his grassroots entrepreneurship, lack of funds, contacts and other resources, starting from scratch, from scratch. He was confronted with the difficulties entrepreneurs might encounter: financial failure, financial distress, the sale of the company because the founders disagreed, and the shutdown of the server for sensitive topics.

More typically, every time he started a business, he was able to lead the Chinese Internet imitation. The Facebook network leads the campus SNS trend, the Twitter-like meal does not lead the micro-blogging trend; Groupon's group leads the group buying trend. He is very accurate to the American internet trend, transplant to the Chinese Internet, he made the best products. China's internet has a large number of copies of foreign websites, many people are others did he found a chance to follow suit. Only one of the first discoveries is luck, Wang every time is the first discovery, it is interesting.

If you are a dreamer, you can see in this book how Wang and his companions hold their faith, stick to the dream, if you are a start-up entrepreneur, you can see in this book how the Wang Touch roll climb, stumbled and grow up, if you are the start-up company to medium-sized company Development stage, You can see in this book how Wang from Messy management to order; If you are a big company facing external subversion and internal innovation, you can see how the internal teams explore new directions and compete with the company's main business.
