Jiang Xiaohai: The Road Of Entrepreneurship For IT Industry, Agam

On the 16 floor of Wanda Plaza, I met Jiang Xiaohai.

Behind this ordinary person, there are countless stories hidden behind him.

The company behind him is committed to the mobile Internet and has just raised tens of millions of dollars. He has been climbing up and down the ladder of life through his unremitting efforts. Who could have thought of his status as a sports champion, steelworker, and general technical engineer?

The title of chairman and CTO from the sports champion to Chairman Jiang Xiaohai is particularly noticeable, which seems to reveal the profound technical background behind his entrepreneurial leader.

But when time went back to his childhood, Jiang Xiaohai's life was very difficult.

"At the age of 10, I started to go away from home and go to school, which made me develop the habit of making decisions on my own.

When I graduated from high school, my father's sudden death was a great influence on me, and I gradually learned to bear it alone in my later life.

Jiang Xiaohai recalls.

Maybe it's due to talent or hobbies. Jiang Xiaohai's sports achievements in junior high school are amazing. He has almost won all the long distance races from 100 meters to 10000 meters.

In the early days, his academic record was not good. What is equally surprising is that Jiang Xiaohai suddenly made a great effort in junior three. Finally, he was admitted to the key high school in Hunan province with excellent results.

In the eyes of many people, Jiang Xiaohai may have been developing sports professionally, but his fate once again played tricks on him.

An accident before the college entrance examination broke his leg and missed the Sports University. He eventually entered the computer department of Xiangtan University.

Similarly, when he graduated from University, he should have stayed in school. But he chose to leave because of his feelings. He decided to stop managing his work in a hurry. Jiang Xiaohai, who was a computer learner, finally became a steelworker in a steel mill.

It can be said that the hardships of childhood are still accompanied by Jiang Xiaohai, but from then on, who can expect that the balance of fate begins to tilt towards him.

For example, in an accident at a steel plant, 4 of 7 people died, but Jiang Xiaohai did not die.

After 2 years of steelmaking work, Jiang Xiaohai first chose to go to Guangdong and then went to Beijing, a small company under Thunis, to design the voice board.

Since then, IT technology career has begun.

1996 is a turning point for Jiang Xiaohai. Thanks to the appreciation of Wu Ying, President of UT STC China, Jiang Xiaohai entered UT to start research and development, which lasted for 7 years.

During this period, Jiang Xiaohai witnessed the vigorous development of the communications industry.

He presided over the development of the earliest SMS center in the country, and began to provide short message service to users.

He and his colleagues started the research of the earliest intelligent network, 3G and so on.

Jiang Xiaohai, who gradually showed the ability of technical management, was also promoted all the way, becoming the general manager of the UT research center in China.

However, Jiang Xiaohai, who is well versed in the development of industry, has begun to feel that the business will not last long enough to sell products, but the development of business and services will be a long road.

Jiang Xiaohai thought, why can't we combine the boom of the Internet with the rising mobile industry?

In 2004, Jiang Xiaohai firmly believed that the mobile Internet would become popular.

In September of that year, the boundless palm came into being.

PICA represents wireless Web2.0?

In 2004, when the "Push-To-Talk" was popular in the world, Jiang Xiaohai's boundless hand went further.

Its PICA services, which integrate the resources of traditional Internet and mobile data network, can provide mobile multimedia communication and personalized information customization service for individual users, and provide group communication and scheduling management support for enterprise users, which is a truly multi-media instant messaging platform.

In a popular way, PICA pplants instant messaging from traditional PC to mobile phones.

As long as PICA instant messenger is installed, users can communicate with mobile phones, mobile phones and PC through mobile phones, so as to satisfy the desire of network and mobile phone users to communicate at any time and anywhere.

PICA can not only pmit text information, but also interact with images, audio and video, send and receive e-mail, and all of these are free to users at present.

For users, the cost is only GPRS or WAP charged by the operator.

The monthly fee of 10~30 yuan per month is acceptable to most people.

Jiang Xiaohai pointed out.

It is reported that the official mobile phones that support PICA instant messenger are over 500, covering most of the mainstream models on the market, including mobile phones based on Symbian, Brew, Java, Windows Mobile, Linux and some embedded systems.

In the 3GSM conference held in Barcelona recently, the mobile Internet has become a hot topic. The Web2.0 element represented by search, blog and so on has entered the mobile domain in a big way.

In contrast, PICA has many characteristics such as interaction, extensibility, multimedia, anytime and anywhere communication, which makes it a wireless Web2.0.

It can be said that the PICA business platform is a good example of Jiang Xiaohai's "technology driven" concept.

When asked about the company's profit model, Jiang Xiaohai said frankly, "now the main task of the company is to explore and analyze consumer behavior and usage habits, and provide users with the most favorite content on the mobile Internet. How to make profits is a matter for future consideration."

It is not long since the handset was established, but it began to gain the favor of investors and users.

Tens of millions of dollars of well-known investors IDG and BlueRun have been put in place; the registered users of PICA have exceeded 1 million 500 thousand, and the number of users recommended by users is up to 50%; the horn of PICA entering the enterprise cluster market has also been sounded.

Does the character determine destiny?

It seems to be a great law that "character determines destiny", which is very typical in Jiang Xiaohai's experience.

Born in Hunan, he has obvious "banditry", coupled with the characteristics of independent work which he developed from childhood, making Jiang Xiaohai always make decisions independently. Once he identifies his goals and directions, he will be very decisive and fast, and never consider any results.

Jiang Xiaohai said frankly that his character also has many contradictions.

On the one hand, he likes intense sports, but on the other hand, he prefers a quiet environment. Jiang Xiaohai, who was poor and hardworking from his childhood, was intent on hiding behind the scenes.

It may be possible to understand that reading and basketball are his two most addicted hobbies.

It is said that when [FS:PAGE] Jiang Xiaohai was in UT, Hangzhou, he was playing basketball with free water at his home irrigation every day. In the past 7 years, he often knew that this guy who looks like a student is a general manager.

This can also explain why Jiang Xiaohai was not willing to serve as CEO at the same time as CTO.

In September last year, Liang Hui, vice president of Asia Netcom, joined CEO in his palm.

Unlike Jiang Xiaohai, who is more emotional, Liang Hui is very rational. Many employees told reporters that Liang Hui and Jiang Xiaohai could be matched perfectly.

Jiang Xiaohai's favorite character is Agam in the book of Agam. "Why does silly Agam do everything better than others? Because he concentrates and heads down and runs towards his goal. He never thinks of any difficulties or cares about gains and losses.

In this way, it is easier for people to get closer to success.

Isn't Jiang Xiaohai like Agam in the IT industry?

Despite all the hardships, the hard work has finally made it a success.

Jiang Xiaohai has many unique quotations, all of which are his understanding.

For example, "people can be lonely but not lonely" seems to prove a truth: successful people are always lonely. "People need to be grateful" makes Jiang Xiaohai always grateful to all those who cooperate with him. He says "ill gotten gains and no unexpected wealth" represent their attitude towards money. Maybe it can explain why Jiang Xiaohai is walking to work today, but he cares about his daughter.

Of course, the most profound thing for journalists is Jiang Xiaohai's spirit of indomitable spirit, which is very consistent with the spirit of sword raising.

Li Yunlong, the hero of Liang Jian, still speaks in his ear. "What is the spirit of Liang Jian? When ancient swordsmen meet with their opponents, no matter how strong the opponent is, the other is the first swordsman in the world.

If you know the enemy, you must show your sword, even if you fall down on your opponent's sword. "

It can be said that the success of many people in the world is the concentrated expression of Agam's concentration and Li Yunlong's spirit of swords.

This is Jiang Xiaohai: a businessman who is not a businessman, a quiet lover.
