The veteran Zhidong "click" The Internet new business to challenge QQ, MSN people file Zhidong 1967 born, Dongguan, Guangdong province. 1989 graduated from the Department of Radio and Electronics, Peking University. May 1989 invited to enter Peking University Computer Research Institute, the development of "Chinese multi-window graphics support environment." December 1993 founder of the four-pass Lee Fang Information Technology Co., Ltd., as the general manager. December 1998 with Sinanet Life Information Network merged officially launched Sina, the successor chief executive. June 2001 was dismissed by Sina company board of directors collectively. December 2001, Zhidong founded Beijing Click Technology Co., Ltd., the company for enterprise information and e-government field, developed a "collaborative application platform" and based on this platform "Synergy star." June 2007 After nearly a year of trial run, Lava-lava personal version (lava-lava2007) officially online. Zhidong's Click Technology company is located in Zhongguancun, an Internet enterprise clusters of buildings. Zhidong desk behind is a big window, the window is mirrored Google several big letters. and Sohu Company and NetEase Company is in a few miles outside, in the same style of mansion. Zhidong several choice, the office place in here. Here, he says, gives him a sense of closeness to the Internet, where he can feel the Internet's surging weather. Zhidong with his own brewing 5 years of work back. But can he create a "Sina-style" miracle? Compared to his creation of Sina's Internet environment, today's lake is obviously more sinister, but also full of drama. And his era of internet people, such as Charles Zhang, Ding Lei has made their own portal into a "Big Mac", whenever's Chen, MA early in the Nasdaq has earned a pot full. In the Zhidong, the choice of the field is MSN, QQ is a battle of the field ——— Instant Messaging. Can he still succeed? In a sunny morning, Zhidong in an interview with his office smiled and replied: "No problem, I have been accustomed to kill a road." "The past to leave Sina and" personal selfishness related "said Zhidong, the first thought is Sina. 5 years ago, people remember the storm, Zhidong was "forced Palace", sadly withdrew from the Sina board, which caused the Internet industry's uproar and discussion. To this day, it has been frequently mentioned by the Internet community. Whether you like it or not, "Zhidong and Sina" is an important page in the history of China's Internet evolution, a "capital and entrepreneur conflict" paradigm. However, in an interview with reporters, Zhidong said that in fact, 5 years ago, his departure is not related to capital. Reporter: June 3, 2001, Sina announced that Zhidong resigned for personal reasons, terminated your CEO, President and director of three positions, and immediately assigned Mao Daolin and Yan respectively to take the position of CEO and president. Zhidong's "Run Away Sina" became the hot point of public opinion at that time, some people said is "the capital drove off the WangEast ", some people say this is the typical tragedy of the entrepreneur. Now, it's been 5 years, and I don't know how you're going to evaluate your life experience. Zhidong: In fact, I have been reluctant to like Cheung Xianglin, always mentioned Sina. But if you ask me, I'd like to clarify something. When it came to the conflict between capital and entrepreneurs, I did not agree with the interpretation of capital-expelling entrepreneurs. In fact, capital is no problem, there is no capital of today's Sina. For me personally, there is no capital to my personal return. In general, the conflict at that time was a human factor. Sina's various small groups have their own ideas. The incident at that time was related to the limitations of personal understanding and personal selfishness. Sina's problem at the time is that human contradictions can not be reconciled, and capital is not actually related. Reporter: Then you set up your own Click technology companies, also need to support venture capital, in the new company, how you deal with the relationship between capital and entrepreneurs. What do you think of the relationship between capital and entrepreneurs? Zhidong: In fact, the relationship between capital and entrepreneurs is a partnership. Frankly speaking, is actually a kind of cooperation between people, because the capital side is also by some people, a person representative. Therefore, the cooperation between people, there is bound to be a climax, there is a low ebb, there is a particularly intimate "honeymoon period", there will be on the verge of "separation" of the impasse. Human factors are actually very complex, in some companies, two VC (venture capitalists) quarrel between the many. Therefore, the entrepreneur and the capital cooperation, must maintain a common heart. Journalist: From Sina to create click Technology, 5 of years silently sowing, we all know that a new venture is a very lonely process. After the Sina event, will you have some frustration? Zhidong: I don't have any sense of frustration. I think Sina is a very successful work in my life. From this venture, I also gained a fortune of my own, which is equal in return. Now that I started my business again, I still benefited from some of the experience I had when I was a founder of Sina, for example, some of the clients that I lava-lava now are the contacts I've built up in Sina. For example, my present office is more than half of Sina's time, changed the big office, how can I feel failure? Re-venture in the "Red Sea" of instant messaging looking for a blue Zhidong chose to return to the software industry after leaving Sina. July 2001, one months after leaving Sina, Zhidong announced the establishment of "Qing-hok-Ming Network Technology Co., Ltd.", which is now the click of technology companies. Zhidong from doing "collaborative software" to developing Lava-lava instant messaging tools, it's been a full 5 years now. It is reported that after a year of trial run, the current Zhidong created instant messaging software Lava-lava has nearly 20 million registered users and more than 1 million active users, signed OEM and independent software developers Hundred. However, in the face of Tencent QQ, MSN such opponents, ZhidongThe way to return to the Internet, can it be smooth? Reporter: Return to the Internet, why choose Instant communication Tools, you know, QQ registered users have 400 million, there is a white-collar people like to use MSN. Now many want to challenge QQ to do instant messaging tools of enterprises are not very successful. How many chances do you have to be a Lava-lava? Zhidong: Now the Lava-lava is not only an instant messaging product, but also an open standardized platform. Partners can easily change the product's name, appearance, and channel content through convenient customization tools, and launch their own personalized instant messaging version of the brand. In fact, we use the typical "long Tail theory", add up. You know, now some small sites, small forum traffic and users are also very impressive, they are "invisible champions." If these invisible champions are working with us, then we may not be the champions. While instant messaging is already a Red sea, all we have to do is look for blue in the Red Sea. Reporter: As a business, user growth is important, but the most important is the business model and how to profit. How do you think about this? Zhidong: We now have two aspects of consideration, on the one hand, to do OEM, and some small and medium enterprises to cooperate directly with the Web site, our Instant Messaging tools into these sites, we can through a number of cooperative ways to earn money. For example, to develop some value-added services to earn money. We'll collect some money from the channel. For example, a period of time ago, two of different companies in the business negotiations, can be hired through the Lava-lava online video translation. This kind of business already has, we can see the foreground. Another mode, and Ufida, Kingdee and other professional software developers to cooperate, our tools to collaborate in the enterprise software. This is also part of the source of business revenue. However, we are not anxious to profit, we are doing the job is happy rodeo. The future of the Nasdaq is the ultimate desire to fade out of the Internet from the line of sight, to today Zhidong, has been a full 5 years of time. Over the past 5 years, the entire Chinese internet has undergone tremendous changes. In the 1998, the entire Internet in China, a few netizens, belonging to the forefront of the label, the entire Internet income is said to be only 1 million. However, 5 years later, Chinese internet users have reached more than 100 million, the network has long been "flying into ordinary people's homes." And the development of the Internet is also dazzling, WEB2.0, interactive, video, blog, E-commerce, various modes of discussion every day, the environment can be said to be dangerous. From the outset to open a road, to kill a road, which road is more suitable for zhidong? Reporter: Originally you do Sina, can say the internet environment is very immature, the competitor is not many. But today, the choice to start a new business, the external environment has undergone tremendous changes. Do you think it's a lot harder to start a business now? Zhidong: In fact, in what kind of environment createIndustry has its pros and cons. When Sina Ventures, the competition is not so fierce, but you can not see clearly direction. At that time Sina than Sohu and NetEase rankings are lagging behind, when Sina proposed to do the news, almost no one agreed, because the Internet news policy was very uncertain. and the coordination of traditional media relations is also a difficult problem, but Sina under pressure to do, and achieved success, is to kill a way out. At that time, I do Chinese platform is also very difficult, there are a number of successful Chinese platform, not only the Red Sea, it is a fire, but I still kill a way out. Now entrepreneurship, the surrounding environment varies greatly, but all aspects of the conditions are very mature, including policy factors, you just choose the right direction to do. Therefore, I will still kill a road, this is my habit. Reporter: Is there a desire to push the new company onto Nasdaq? Zhidong: Of course. This is the ultimate desire of every internet company. But now it's my job to keep the car steady. At the time of refueling, a foot accelerator accelerated listing. Listed companies are in fact the most taboo reorganization. So, I have to explore a stable business model.
