These days, immersed in doing a lot of products, but can for their own product promotion rolled up the sleeves of the big hammer, Zhou is one.

Although the company listed, but also invested a lot of companies, recently, in the speech of Renmin University of China, Zhou said he was "never a successful person, was once a biggest loser."

Hard Past

In the popular jungle culture of the Chinese Internet industry, Zhou seems to be the most representative one. This battle with Lei, but Zhou Long "scold war" career in a spray. His "fight" culminated in the "3Q War" of 2010, which shocked the entire Internet community. At that time 360 of the revenue is only Tencent 1%, a few months later, 360 companies successfully landed in the U.S. capital market, is a classic case of leveraging marketing.

Zhou, who was an engineer at Peking University, founded 3721 companies and was bought by Yahoo, who is also the CEO of Yahoo China. In 3721 companies, Zhou 祎 developed his "rogue Software" 3721, the industry has been a lot of imitators, so that later China's internet industry once "rogue software" rampage.

Although the "rogue software" to earn the first bucket of gold, but the end of "rogue software" 360 security guards not only washed the white Zhou, but also let Zhou found the glory of life and bright spot-rely on the installation of the second client software successfully listed, among the ranks of the Chinese Internet.

Zhou smiled and said, Renren CEO Chen had done similar "rogue software", he was talking to me, Hung 祎, put me a horse, I said eldest brother no way, I let you go, I can not let myself, I for their own honor, can only sacrifice you. Chen a boat in disguise, was broken after the posterior, resolutely bought the net, only today's everyone, "he has to thank me." "Zhou said.

"Antivirus companies are expected to go public, on the gem, when China's richest man, this dream must be I punctured." Zhou 祎 quipped.

Because of too many enemies, Zhou in the Internet circle. It is said that Zhou has been carrying a bodyguard, his 360CS training camp, are professional veterans to coach, his 360 special machine, one of the famous gun "AK47" name.

The perpetrators and the challengers

"I firmly believe that some competition makes people uncomfortable, but for consumers, manufacturers must compete with each other, do not believe that the manufacturer's morals." Without supervision and competition, he has no incentive to do good products. "Zhou said.

Zhou sees himself as a wreck and challenger, his most admired by Netscape, the founder of Anderson, who challenged Microsoft's hegemony but failed. "I hope the Internet Business Circle is a bit messy and there are always young people coming out. America is a mess, and every 5 years there is a new company. In China, the first whenever of Internet access is the backbone of the Internet. 10 years later, the internet big guy or this group of people, hands are listed companies, every day can tell their own successful experience can be copied. In another 10 years, if this group of people, and then did not get up, this is called what kind of Internet?

Insiders say that people who dislike him think he is a "mess stick" in the internet world, but he is a very "real" person who dares to look his past in the face, sometimes frankly surprising.

"The culture of China's internet circle is the king, but I'm not afraid to be a loser." Zhou smiled.

It's never too late to start a business

While encouraging young people in the internet industry to "seize power", Zhou does not encourage all college students to start a business. He thinks China's business environment is too complicated, a person is not only passionate and professional skills can be successful, college students need to accumulate and experience.

I encourage entrepreneurship as a mindset, a dream, and a desire to change the world. Zhou suggested that when you go to college, you should learn the professional knowledge. College students may wish to get employment first, but must be with entrepreneurial mentality to go to employment. College students with entrepreneurial ideas should join the start-up companies, although there are risks, but can find a master, team, can experience an entrepreneurial experience.

"The first 35 years of college, learning and accumulation of the most important, because it determines whether the future can become a career." Zhou, he also had the opportunity to go to the bank and the state-owned enterprises, but he chose to be in the entrepreneurial period founder, his idea is that, since want to do software companies, it is necessary to a software company from the bottom up.

It's not too late to start a business, it's important to accumulate before you start. "30-Year-old venture in China is early, I do 360 is 36 years old." Mr Ren was more than 40 years old when he founded Huawei, and Mr Liu was also an old age when he made Lenovo. Zhou to encourage college students.
