< p >

This week, during the short stay of "a href=" http://www.91se91.com/news/index_p.asp "New York < /a", P accepted several American mainstream media visits.

He told me in advance that the afternoon of the end of Bloomberg's visit may be the only neutral spot for his trip to New York.

< /p >

< p > social media innovator < /p >

Before the promulgation of the P list of the most influential 100 people a year, another 100 people will write an evaluation of the selected characters.

This year, Li Kaifu wrote for Huffington Post, editor in chief of the Arianna Post, one of the most popular new media websites in the United States.

< /p >

< p > "time" is very secret, do not tell me who wrote, until the last moment (list) came out, I saw it, Li Kaifu said.

< /p >

"P > Huffington to generalize his personal experience as a" Kai-Fu Lee s story has elements of what we think of "as a" typical American Dream "composed of immigration, innovation and fearlessness." I deeply believe that, "I deeply believe that because of the social media, more socially responsible Chinese can be able to develop, obtain information and change the country in the future.

I believe that the power of science and technology is quite big. I can break through the stubborn thinking, create new ideas and opportunities to change China and the world. "So Lee 's story turns out to be a universal story of."

< /p >

< p > "that's exactly what I want to say.

I really think that technology will promote the information and progress of mankind, so I do not approve of the quarrel in a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > micro-blog < /a.

< /p >

Although P has known for many years, Li Kaifu and Huffington did not have much direct communication before.

Before dinner, he sent emails to Huffington to express his thanks.

"I'm just curious about what they think, because who helps you write this passage also means how the times define you.

If it wants to position me as an innovator, it may be written by Eric Schmidt (Eric Schmidt) or Larry Paige (Larry Page).

Maybe they define me as a social media person to a greater extent.

< /p >

< p > the three way out of stocks is < /p >.

< p > many people still remember clearly that in the second half of last year, Li Kaifu and Andrew Left, founder of short selling company Citron, had a confrontation on the Internet.

At that time, in response to the allegations of citron on Qihoo and Sogou, Li Kaifu published a report in his personal name entitled "short selling of Chinese concept stocks - counterfeiting or counterfeiting", which is divided into four major sections to list the conceptual errors of citron and misinterpretation of facts.

< /p >

< p > with vip.com, playing YY, Lanting Pavilion and other Chinese companies listed in the US, China's stock market, which has been short for several years, has gradually regained some confidence.

Guo Quji, the founder of Lanting Pavilion gathering recently landed in the US market, is the chief strategist of Google China and is also the leader of the Google venture gang.

< /p >

< p > "I am very optimistic about the listing of China Internet Corporation in the United States, but it does not mean that their future is bright," Li said.

< /p >

< p > "the development of Internet in China is cheap and huge, and the potential of economic pactions generated by each user is very large.

The business models of companies are constantly breaking through, just like those of Baidu. "

< /p >

"P >", but we still need to see two major problems. First, there are many irregularities in the listing process, but these are often through reverse takeovers and other means.

They were caught short by the agencies and brought negative images to the whole stock.

The other is that some short selling companies have established credibility after catching the Swindlers Company, and then used credit to fight some companies that actually did not have any problems, resulting in the crisis of New Orient, Qihoo, sub companies and so on.

< /p >

After "P > < a href=" http://www.91se91.com/pioneer/ "> Li Kaifu < /a > issued a refutation of citron, Andrew Left has publicly invited him to make a televised debate on CNBC, and bet 100 thousand yuan to bet on Qihoo page tour ARPU value is too high.

At that time, Li Kaifu did not pay any attention to it.

Looking back at half a year ago, he remained firmly determined.

< /p >

< p > "my report has made a very clear and detailed proof of everything that can be proved, and there is no room for debate.

He responded by avoiding the challenge and not responding to my challenge.

If I can prove that he has enough research and opinions, I am not afraid of debate. "

< /p >

Less than half a year, muddy water and citron were gradually diverted from the end of last year, but the shadow of the past few years is still in the P.

Some domestic companies have gone to privatization in order to avoid trouble, and some have been listed in Hongkong.

< /p >

< p > "there are three possibilities in the future: one is that many companies are privatized or pferred to Hong Kong stocks; the second is that the shadow of the past can not be resolved, and the Sino US relations continue to be tense, leading to the collapse of China's stock market; the third is what I most want to see: Although there are some challenges in the past, but because one after another good company has enough hard numbers, investors have regained confidence."

< /p >

< p > "stock market memory is very short, it may give it two years to restore confidence."

< /p >

< p > "incubated" for ten years without dying company < /p >

After the establishment of Innovation workshop in P 09 years, Li Kaifu maintained the rhythm of 15 to 20 start-up companies every year.

< /p >

< p > there are two big conjectures in the outside world: first, can the omni-directional "incubator" mode work in China? Two, will the Innovation workshop close to the nature of venture capital and weaken the function of "incubation"? < /p >

< p > "stage success incubator" means making it a company that will not die within ten years, creating a brand and having enough operational capacity.

To put it simply, it is to get the A round of financing, which is more than ten million dollars, which is Li Kaifu's definition of "incubation".

"This definition is five times a year."

< /p >

< p > several of its early investment projects have broken into cocoon and become butterflies.

In January 2011, "pea pods" won the second round of financing self financing; in November 2011, Baidu acquired the image processing software of the mobile platform, "ghost Wizard"; in June 2011, dot network was moved away from the Innovation workshop by A financing; in April of this year, Alibaba signed a contract for the acquisition of mobile application statistical analysis tool "friend alliance".

< /p >

< p > "if we invest in twenty companies a year, we hope that half of these companies will get A rounds in two years."

< /p >

< p > he would like to see his company going public, and at the same time he knows that opportunities are not available.

"We hope that every entrepreneur who comes to cooperate with us will take this ambitious ambition from the very first day to take a road of creating a huge brand with high risk and high return."

< /p >

"P >" we are also happy to see capital exit, and think that more and more capital will exit in the future.

There are risks in the listing channels, and now the domestic giants are increasingly willing to make a reasonable price for acquisitions. In the past, tens of millions and billions of acquisitions were rarely seen.

This is good for the whole ecological environment, otherwise many Angel funds will be broken. "

< /p >

This year, Li Kaifu did not accelerate the pace of investment in innovation works, he said, because that would dilute returns. P

"We want to maintain this brand, continue to put the threshold high, and then try to help the companies that come in."

< /p >

Less than P, and in the process of technological evolution of mobile social networking applications abroad, more and more people want to know who can become China's Facebook or Instagram.

He answered almost without hesitation, making it difficult to make the next Facebook in China, but there is great potential to cultivate Instagram in China.

< /p >

< p > "there are elements of social interaction + entertainment + Mobile, and the need to meet the needs of the public is the biggest probability of such a company," he concluded.

< /p >

< p > "Instagram can grow mainly because it takes advantage of the existing social chain of Facebook. Now it is too difficult to replicate a social chain like Facebook, micro-blog and WeChat. We must make use of the existing ones.

At the same time, entertainment attributes remain the most important in the United States, especially in China.

< /p >

< p > based on the milestone of this year's smart phone users rising from 200 million to 500 million, Li Kaifu believes that mobile experience has replaced the PC terminal as the most important consideration for innovation.

< /p >

< p > at the same time, "it is very reasonable to say that some people say that the cock silk has got the world."

In his eyes, most of the consumers in the mass market bought smart phones less than one thousand yuan, not many users of computers, and three or four young city users. He called them the mainstream users in China.

< /p >

< p > "PC era", what made China Internet Corporation beat foreign companies? It is QQ, Baidu post bar, application and website of Jin Dance Troupe.

So now we also need to focus on mobile terminal Baidu post bar and QQ.

< /p >

< p > besides micro-blog, Li Kaifu's most frequently used mobile phone applications include cracking.

This is an audio and photo community developed by dot net invested by innovation works.

Li Kaifu sometimes sends his micro-blog content here, too. The difference is that you can add voice here.

His fans here are only one percent of micro-blog's, but the number of single messages is always ten times larger than that of micro-blog.

"You see, the same content is played 28000 times, more than micro-blog, and a comic chart 59000 times.

One simple word 58000 times, he took out his cell phone to show me these figures.

< /p >

< p > from October last year, the amount of downloads of iPhone and Android users has exceeded ten million times, with a large number of users in white-collar workers and other groups.

Peng Bo reported that in March 10th, the Wave was released at Apple store.

"This type of explosive products must be very simple, and no need to be taught, they must be able to capture your feelings quickly."

According to its founder Xu Zhaojun's prediction, this year will attract 50 million new users to register, which will exceed 200 million in three years, exceeding 100 million users in Instagram two and a half years.

< /p >

< p > "Chinese innovation" is actually bringing all kinds of good things, rolling 35 existing ideas first, and then adding several creative ideas.

That's how WeChat got up. Popping is also a new case.
