Sina Founder Wang Zhidong Talks About Starting An Undertaking

Wang Zhidong is known to be the one. Internet Rebuke Sina network CEO, the IT community in China has made many impossible possibilities possible. Today, we are leading the click of technology to climb new heights and realize new life dreams.

We interviewed him after we held a publicity session for recruiting talents by clicking on technology. Entrepreneurship About life.

"From the small world of Zhongguancun to the stage of life"

In the third grade of the University, many students were looking for a way out after graduation, going abroad, looking for a job, and preparing for a graduate study, but Wang Zhidong went into a small company of less than 10 people in Zhongguancun to save machines and machine, to play some western software in the Han Dynasty. Wang Zhidong's experience shows that he does not have a strict plan for life, but he has been on the road to success from here.

Speaking of the original intention of going to the street, Wang Zhidong recalled: "it is mainly because the credit hour of junior high school is relatively small. At that time, I called on college students to do more social practice. I am very interested in the latest trend of computer products. The information in the school can not meet my needs, and in Zhongguancun, I can touch these latest developments in computers, and I resolutely" go to the streets. " It is the experience of Zhongguancun's electronic street that exercises Wang Zhidong's ability. It not only makes his professional knowledge useful, has been consolidated, but also has accumulated rich social experience.

"I think the most important thing in college is to absorb the opportunities around you. You have to have your own values and direction, but if you think too far, chances will slip away from you. And at least five years after graduation, these five years will be the most critical period to improve yourself and seize opportunities. If you want to set a goal against the current, it will not work well. Although Wang Zhidong did not paint his future in a precise form, like other students, he focused on improving his ability while adapting to social changes. Finally, he came to the prepared people and guided Wang Zhidong to a more beautiful stage.

"Entrepreneurship is the process of realizing unlimited dreams with limited resources".

After walking into the founder, Wang Zhidong made a sensational move in the Chinese IT community, and independently developed and launched the "first practical Windows Chinese environment --BDWin3.0" in her spare time, which made the obscure Wang Zhidong famous. "Entrepreneurship is the process of realizing your dream. Your goal is your dream. Your values are the rules in the process of realizing your dreams. The Chinese platform has realized one of my great dreams: "let Chinese software synchronize with the world". BDWin3.0 was made out of my spare time, and I was introduced to Fangzheng's teacher. They could not believe that I could make such a large platform by myself in my spare time. Finally, a year later, I introduced this product to everyone at my Windows seminar, which caused great repercussions.

We can only see that the entrepreneur's scenery is limitless, and there are many hardships and setbacks behind Wang Zhidong's pioneering road. But he has always insisted on his values and dreams, and finally realized his "Silicon Valley dream". "From Fang Fang's departure, he entered the new world. Although he had achieved initial success, some people in the company were playing a political set, and then I left unhappily. Because I have always wanted to create a software development environment in Silicon Valley, a IT company. Later, I made myself a general manager of four links, and ensured that the company's development trajectory did not deviate from my principles and develop in a relatively healthy environment. Later financing, acquisition, establishment of sina, and eventual listing in Nasdaq were equivalent to truly realizing my "Silicon Valley dream" and the Silicon Valley mode company in China. {page_break}
 

"Entrepreneurs must have enough mental preparation."

Wang Zhidong saw that many students wanted to start their own business after graduation and even at school. As a successful entrepreneur, he gave a pertinent suggestion: "people who want to start a business must be prepared to endure hardship, failure and even chicken flying eggs, because entrepreneurs who succeed in business are less than 10% of entrepreneurs. I don't encourage students to start their own business, but if you have a strong entrepreneurial impulse and can't do anything without starting a business, then you go to business without hesitation, that is, obey your own heart. Finally, you must have your own entrepreneurial dream, which is very urgent to achieve, and some people agree with your entrepreneurial dream, with team support, whether financial or human, so that you can go to business.

Wang Zhidong has done his words. He is just in order to realize his "Silicon Valley dream" and embarked on the pioneering road. It is precisely for the purpose of "letting Chinese software synchronize with the world, allowing the Chinese people to write software and software conveniently" to insist on building a Silicon Valley mode company. During this period, there is constant murmur of the outside world: "Zhi Dong, you want to like the Silicon Valley mode, you go to the United States, stay in the country, you can't develop this mode, you can't succeed." There is constant external force: bringing political factors into the company and affecting the company's environment. But he never wavered, because he had a firm entrepreneurial dream and fought for it, because he followed his own heart and finally reached the height that others could not reach.

"Go out on friends"

"A good man and three gang", no matter whether you are developing, financing or technology, you have to rely on friends. You can't get up by personal strength. IT is a quack. If you maintain your reputation on this river, you should have friends and resources. This is the most important thing Wang Zhidong believes he has learned in his life experience so far.

From the experience of Wang Zhidong, we can see that whether he is in the four links, Sina, or today's click technology, he has a group of his "sworn followers" to follow. After the embarrassment of breaking up with Sina in 2001, a group of "old people" around Wang Zhidong resolutely abandoned the wealth and resources that other people envied, and helped him create a click technology company to realize a new dream.

"All embracing should never be empty talk".

Although the four years in Peking University were short lived in life experience, Wang Zhidong's thought of "embracing all embracing", open learning style and colorful activities benefited him greatly, making his way of thinking diversified and the way of solving problems unique, which laid a solid foundation for future success.

"The most important thing for Peking University to give me is to think about methods and values. "Inclusive" means that Peking University is diversified and has a strong tolerance. It enables everyone to find their own direction of development. Everyone can find their own strengths and longing for things. Peking University is a multi-disciplinary university. I like to participate in weekend salon activities. Psychology, Buddhism and society have trained my mind.

During the University, Wang Zhidong successfully launched a society called "student science practice association", attracting a lot of student cadres. In this process, he broadened his horizons and exercised his organizational ability. This experience also has an important influence on his success in creating Sina and managing Sina.

On the occasion of the new year, Wang Zhidong has a new hope for his alma mater's younger brothers and sisters: "in the multicultural collision environment of Peking University, we should pay attention to training our own way of thinking, absorbing opportunities around us, improving our ability, obeying our inner decisions in life, adhering to our values and goals, and achieving our own success. Happy new year to everyone! "
