readx; Whether you dropped out of school and met an innovative company, or met the perfect entrepreneurial partner, you caught up with the background of mature video communication technology. Sui Meng Novel, Doing the right thing at the right time is always a challenge. For Chen Shijun, a Chinese boy who made up his mind to start a video website to lure tubes, he must not have expected that pie in the sky would fall on his head so quickly - Chen Shijun was born in August 1978 in Taiwan, China. He is a Chinese-American and is better than Chen Tian. They are all three years younger. I have loved tinkering with computers since I was a child. I wrote my first program in the 6th grade of elementary school. After entering the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (ranked among the top 5 in the United States for computer science), I spent all day hanging out with computer enthusiasts, leaving my normal studies behind. Unable to resist the temptation of working in Silicon Valley, even though I was only half a year away from graduation, I decided to drop out of school and find a job, and joined Paypal, a company that had been founded less than a year ago. He dropped out of school in the last semester. Others dropped out to start a business. In his case, he dropped out of school to find a job because the job opportunities in Silicon Valley were too attractive. If you don¡¯t rush to work at Paypal, you won¡¯t be able to become a millionaire within 3 years, you won¡¯t be able to meet future entrepreneurial partners, and you may not be able to stay on top of the technological wave. From this point of view, dropping out of school and finding a job is a necessary foundation for Chen Shijun's future high-profile life. Of course, objectively speaking, the courage Chen Shijun needed to drop out of school and find a job in his environment was much less than it was for us. Chen Shijun is undoubtedly lucky. In February 2002, the PayPal company he joined was successfully listed on the Nasdaq. Not only did they become millionaires, it also allowed them to establish their own circle of friends and take root in Silicon Valley. Because the interdependence between Paypal and eBay is too high, eBay quickly acquired Paypal 5 months after Paypal was listed. eBay's corporate culture makes it difficult for old Paypal employees such as Chen Shijun to adapt. The most obvious difference from the early days of Paypal is that engineers have lost their "right to speak" and can only listen to the orders of the big shots at the top. After working on eBay for several years, Chen Shijun finally plucked up the courage to resign. ¡°I really wanted to try my hand at decisiveness, and I was so full of entrepreneurial ideas that I couldn¡¯t help but write them all down.¡± ¡ This is an era when video equipment is popular. Small video recorders and mobile phones with video recording functions are fashionable gadgets in the hands of young people. Many people like to bring video recorders to parties, and then watch friends joking with each other over and over again. Even prank shots. Chen Shijun and Chad noticed the phenomenon of many shocking videos and the enthusiasm they caused in the crowd. But the situation at that time was that it was easy to share photos among friends, but it was difficult to share videos and movies. This sparked their entrepreneurial impulse. Based on a ground-breaking story, it is usually just a simple idea, the impulse of some small need. Then there are adjustments, adjustments again The same is true for the beginning of Tube. No one (except Chen Tiandu) knows what it will look like in the end. They just like it and think it will bring convenience to more and more people, so they continue Go forward. Every entrepreneurial success is inevitably influenced by luck, and Chen Shijun¡¯s entrepreneurial example is also indispensable. No matter he dropped out of school and met an innovative company, met the perfect entrepreneurial partner, or caught up with the mature background of video communication technology. However, everyone has luck, and what matters is whether they can grasp it. ¡°Do the right thing at the right time.¡± It¡¯s always a challenge for everyone. Of course, another very important reason why Chen Shijun decided to start a business was that his entrepreneurial partners returned. Chad Hurley, who moved to Seattle after getting married a few years ago, moved back to Silicon Valley with his wife and newborn child. Together they decided they wanted to create something, and the business began. Like all entrepreneurship, the beginning is always difficult. Their first 10 engineers were recruited from their old colleagues at Paypal, with no venture capital and no salary; they bought servers and bandwidth to max out their credit cards They also like to read the gossip news in the IT world every day. Browse the latest current affairs. The hottest news recently is that Chen Tiandu was forced to reduce his stake in Google. If it were them, they probably wouldn't be able to give up this courage. Although Chen Tiandu acquired DreamWorks and the Apple department. But from Google's standpoint, he undoubtedly lost. This is the United States, and it is difficult for outsiders to know what kind of pressure he is under. Before persisting, Chen Shijun, Cha De and other friends were just like ordinary people, and it was not easy to be envious. But I am not worried about Google user information. These are all pretense. But after Chen Tiandu seriously reduced his holdings of Google stocks, which were in full swing. This envy immediately turned into regret. Then there is empathy and pity for what happens to a foreigner after he takes control of information in the United States. It¡¯s just that they didn¡¯t expect that within a few days, this person who could only be seen online or in movie theaters actually appeared in front of them alive. Appeared in front of a "lure tube" company that had just been registered and offered to acquire or invest in it. "I am very optimistic about the future of video sharing websites" Chen Tiandu just stood in front of them and talked. "This is an era of Internet explosion. Video communication, video social networking, video marketing and a series of new Internet life All methods will be popular in the future. Think about how explosive the video business will be when everyone has a mobile phone that can take high-definition photography. " "With my funds and strength, and your technology and creativity, I can do it. It can be guaranteed that this video website will become another Internet business miracle in the United States in a year. The prerequisite is to accept my offer of an olive branch and then work together to realize it. "What else can Chen Shijun and Zhade say, for a poor person. , for a small company that only relies on its own meager savings. Although the investment seemed too huge and would have changed ownership of the company, they had no other choice. The friends discussed it for a long time before finally responding. Chad coughed dryly, hesitated and put forward the conditions: "We need independent research and development rights, you can't interfere too much with us" Chen Tiandu rolled his eyes and tried hard He patted him on the shoulder and said: "Man, believe me, I have no interest in sitting in front of the computer and writing code." "Then what is your positioning on Lure Tube?" Chen Shijun asked tentatively. "Test me?" Chen Tiandu raised his eyebrows, "Can you speak Chinese?" "Yes, yes." Chen Shijun nodded nonchalantly. "Very good. I haven't forgotten it yet." Chen Tiandu changed the subject and said with a smile: "But I think it's better to speak English now, what do you think." "You do as you like." Chen Shijun smiled, suddenly feeling like a big star The rich man got a lot closer. For the first time, I felt like a "compatriot". Chen Tiandu raised his fist and began to count his fingers while explaining, "I already own a smart technology company that is about to launch its first smart phone product. In the future, there will also be smart computer products. This is hardware resources. Platform; a social networking site like Facebook has been launched and is developing very well, which is a user platform; a micro-blog social networking site is about to be launched, which is a supplementary user platform; a car company that is about to go public, this is not a platform. , It¡¯s purely a personal hobby. What¡¯s missing now is a video website. ¡°This is my position, do you understand?¡± Chen Shijun, Chad and others looked at each other. , nothing to say. I and others are still working hard to create the website. How can you compare to others of the same age who have already built an entire investment network? "I'm your fan, can can you sign your autograph for me?" A four-eyed coder named William, with stars of admiration in his eyes, suddenly asked a question and raised his hand like a primary school student. Chen Tiandu slapped his forehead and was shocked. He shook his fingers and said, "Don't be like this, buddy, we will meet again in the future. You are acting like a gangster. The next time we meet, it will be very embarrassing." "Hahaha" A group of people finally laughed. In this way, Chen Tiandu took over this newly emerging company, and also brought them a professional management team and an objective amount of development funds. This management team hired former Coca-Cola CEO Chasen-Claude. He will be responsible for the promotion, publicity and content copyright business establishment of Tutube. In the original time and space, Tutube was forced to sell after a year. The main reason was that it was troubled by the copyrights of various music, TV, and movie videos, and faced prosecution and repayment of huge copyright fees. It had to be sold to Google less than a year after it went online. Although it was sold for a high price of US$1.6 billion at that time, it can be compared to the lure of tube a few years later. Who can say that this is a wise transaction? Chen Tiandu, who has learned the lessons of the future, naturally has to start from the beginning. Then a professional and mature management team is indispensable. Although buying a large amount of copyrights from the beginning will greatly increase the initial expenditure of the website, Chen Tiandu happens to be at the stage where he is least short of money. To use a pretentious saying, "The only thing left for the poor is money." . ¡± The YouTube video sharing website has undergone earth-shaking changes quietly. During Thanksgiving, negotiations to acquire DreamWorks were temporarily suspended for a few days. Thanksgiving is undoubtedly the most important holiday before Christmas, and a large number of people even think that Thanksgiving is more important than Christmas. Every Thanksgiving Day, the whole country in the United States is very lively. Urban and rural areasCostume parades, theatrical performances and sports competitions are held all over the town. Schools and shops also have holidays and rest according to regulations. The children also imitated the Indians in those days and put on weird costumes, painted faces or put on masks and went out to the streets to sing and play trumpets. There were a lot of people in the church that day. It is customary for people to say thanksgiving prayers here. Americans have been accustomed to life since they were young, and work is divided between work and swallows. Go their separate ways. And on Thanksgiving. They always strive to come back from all over the world, and the family sits together, chews delicious turkey, and talks about the past. This makes people feel extremely cordial and warm. At the same time, hospitable Americans will never forget this day to invite friends, bachelors or people far away from home to celebrate the holiday. Since the 18th century, the United States has had a custom of giving baskets of food to poor families. At that time, a group of young women wanted to choose one day of the year to do good deeds, and thought that Thanksgiving was the most appropriate day. So when Thanksgiving came, they packed a basket full of food and delivered it to the poor's homes in person. This matter spread far and wide, and soon many people imitated their example. On this day, Chen Tiandu received a text message of thanks from Robert Downey Jr.: "Thank you for meeting such a good friend like you when I was at a low point in my life. I wish you good luck, man." Chen Tiandu replied to him. , "I bet you must have drunk too much now." In order to confirm this, he also specifically asked Kate to call Susan to confirm, and it was true. Susan had no idea that Robert Downey Jr. had sent such a "funny text message". She learned about the situation after hearing Kate's report and couldn't help laughing. It¡¯s hard to imagine that the always good-looking Robert Downey Jr. would have such an emotional side. Susan quietly said to Kate: "I can guarantee that he drank very little. But in order to save him some face, let's say he drank a lot." Chen Tiandu smiled, at least what he did was rewarded. I have a few true friends, right? "Honey, who do you want to thank?" Kate thought for a while and said, "Well, I want to thank God for giving us such a pair of lovely children. My dear, let's go to church to worship." Chen Tiandu Teeth, instinctively wanted to escape, "Uh, sorry, wife, I made an appointment with Fan and the others to have a drink together" But looking at Kate's eyes, she couldn't say any more, "Okay, I'll go to church with you. " Many people in the church recognized them, but they only smiled kindly and did not crowd in on such a solemn occasion. At this moment, they are just an ordinary young couple, no different from anyone else. The church on Thanksgiving Day is also full of sacred atmosphere. Although Chen Tiandu is a person with a lot of faith, he can feel refreshed after receiving spiritual baptism occasionally. He won't even think of his usual intrigues, as if he really took a mental bath. The Thanksgiving holiday is also a long-awaited expectation for movie theater operators. In the week of November 22nd to 28th, all films in the same period were box office hits. Before this week, the most watched movie was undoubtedly "Alexander the Great". For a generation of kings, Alexander the Great, conquering the world may be an easy thing, but conquering the North American box office rankings is another matter entirely. (To be continued.)?¡
