Li Kaifu Dialogue Yun Weibin: What Kind Of Person Is Suitable For Starting An Undertaking?

A few days ago, CEO Li Kaifu, co-founder of Plurk, a microblog service Plurk in Taiwan, had a dialogue on entrepreneurship.

In 2009, Li Kaifu and Yun Weibin had a big change in the two.

In August 5th, Li Kaifu resigned to Google.

In September 3rd, he wrote on Sina micro-blog: "please do not speculate on what I want to do.

Announce next week...

It's cool to give me some time and patience.

This guarantee was really cool. 4 days later, he became an entrepreneur and announced the creation of an Innovation workshop for investment entrepreneurs.

Li Kaifu, who was 5 years old, knew how to change. Because he felt that the kindergarten had been eating dim sum and singing too boring all day long, he asked his mother to let him skip the grade to go to primary school.

At the age of 20, he took the lead in the world's leading academics and took the lead in using statistical methods to do speech recognition. Then the Osero man machine chess system was developed to defeat the chess king of mankind.

He is apple, Microsoft, Google and other 3 major technology giants competing to hire a master, Microsoft and Google in order to win him, but also fought a century lawsuit.

Li Kaifu, 48, had a disease in June. This disease became a turning point in his life.

He reminded his friend, Professor Randy, in his speech, "to help others realize their dreams is the only thing that is more meaningful than realizing their dreams."

He began to think about whether there was any kind of job that could help young people start their business every day, and 3 months later, the Innovation workshop appeared.

This year is also the year of Yun Weibin's pformation.

In February 9th, he flew from North America to Plurk, the most popular member of Taiwan. It was originally a week's journey, but stayed in the most passionate Kaohsiung.

2 years ago, Yun Weibin, a member of the computer department of a big American company, lived a comfortable life of the middle class. At the age of 25, he did not want to repeat the usual nine to five office workers, make a girlfriend, and become a family at the age of 30.

He agreed to invite Canadian partners and co founded Plurk.

In less than 1 years in Taiwan, he has been the head of a business, marketing, and management model from a business, marketing, and management model that has only been designed as an entrepreneur, and has learned more than 10 years.

Li Kaifu, 48, and Yun Weibin, 27, are now on the road to entrepreneurship. Their common language of entrepreneurship is just like Li Kaifu said, "not just live your life (Guo Yisheng), but lead yourlife."

From the entrepreneurial dream to entrepreneurs, how to think about it? Here is a wonderful dialogue between the two people: {page_break}

Cloud: I feel that Asian culture does not encourage young people to start their own businesses. Family members will only be proud to say, "my son works at Microsoft," but he is reluctant to start a business with white hands.

Li: Chinese university students have a craze for starting a business now.

Why do you want to start their own business? They have great desire for success. They will reply, "because Ma is my idol because they want to become billionaires because they want to start a Alibaba."

I can understand this dream, the entrepreneur must have expectations, but the goal must be steadfast.

Yun: I also escaped from a large company to start a business. My salary is still discounted. How did you decide to leave Google? How do I know this choice is correct?

Li: generally, I don't use "right" to describe choices, all choices are risky, some will succeed, some will fail.

But it's not difficult to make a decision. Your heart will tell you.

I have great faith in what Jobs said, "have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. Only your heart can tell you what kind of person you want to be."

The inner voice will tell you what to do is the happiest, the most valuable, what can leave more, what things will make you want to work every day, and do not want to rest at weekends.

Of course, it is not just to think about it, but to objectively analyze the probability of success and failure, find ways to reduce risk, and make the worst plan, and then see if we can accept it.

Once you think clearly, do it after planning. Do not think it will succeed. Even if you fail, do not regard it as punishment. It is a lesson.

Yun: I think age is an advantage of entrepreneurship. If you have a family over 30, you may be worried about it. You can't take that risk.

When I started my business, I didn't think too much. I felt young and single. Even if I failed, it would not affect other people. I think people should not attach too much importance to the end.

I enjoy the process of entrepreneurship very much, even if I fail later, it is also a good experience.

Li: I admit young is.

Cloud: how do you tell if your young person is suitable for starting a business?

Li: not everyone is suitable for starting a business. I see from Bill Gate and Jobs that the most important characteristic of entrepreneurs is to have aspirations.

To build an enterprise enthusiastically, his eyes will emit light, and the motive may be to earn money, build a brand, or develop a technology and create value for users. It doesn't matter, but enthusiasm needs to exist.

In addition, courage, charisma and tenacity are also important genes for entrepreneurs, because there are many setbacks in the process of entrepreneurship. When faced with many challenges, let your team be able to follow you and believe in you with all your heart and soul.

Finally, judgement.

It is dangerous to think that you are one of these people at the same time. If he is wrong, what should I do? I think today's Chinese entrepreneurs are rather lacking.

Judgment is the only way to have the courage to admit mistakes, so it is also necessary to have a detached assessment ability. The best way is to have more friends who dare to tell the truth.

Look at, analyze and understand more. Don't just look at the world from your own perspective. Some knowledge can be brought in from other fields, and do not think that every assumption in the past can always be established. When you see some information need to overturn the past assumptions, you must have this courage.
