Re: Zhang Xiaolong 49 years of age 240 million annual salary: determine the outcome of life is the 5 laws.
few people regard Zhang Xiaolong as an entrepreneur, but he is the entrepreneur who changes the layout and trend of the Internet on the ten year scale.
Zhang Xiaolong, 49, has finished his first half of the life and has been very motivated. Observing his experiences in these decades and reading a lot of his Related words, I summed up 5 rules from Zhang Xiaolong.
against the mediocre life of
and put into action as soon as possible
Zhang Xiaolong likes to listen to rock and roll, and many of his playlists are Wang Feng's songs.
media asked him why he liked Wang Feng's songs. He said: "rock and roll Ledu is rebellious and manifests dissatisfaction with reality. We must know that this discontent and resistance are the most viable. Dissatisfaction means that you are very energetic and energetic. If everything is satisfied and satisfied, it has become a commonplace and mediocre state. In the fall of
1994, Zhang Xiaolong, a 25 year old graduate, visited his work unit which was about to be allocated in advance. Standing in front of a dead building belonging to the government, he immediately felt "suffocating from the top." Zhang Xiaolong, who graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, confirmed that he almost looked at the building and immediately gave up his repressed "iron rice bowl" and was determined to invest in a vibrant Internet industry.
the future WeChat founder asked himself, "did I spend my life like this?"
thought about it, he decided to develop a program of his own. In
1997, Zhang Xiaolong wrote Foxmail almost with one's own strength. Someone listed this software as "the ten largest domestic software", with the advantages of more light and flexible than other e-mail software, and the rapid accumulation of about 2000000 users.
he became famous young. Li Xueling, a journalist in computer newspaper, once described Zhang Xiaolong's status in the IT circle of China. "As long as you stand at Huang Zhuang intersection, shout, I am Foxmail Zhang Xiaolong, there will be a large crowd coming up to let you sign your name."
this kind of aura is not an empty ring. In order to resist mediocre life, Zhang Xiaolong secretly tried to be a great product man when he was in University.
according to Zhang Xiaolong's classmate, when he was in University, Zhang Xiaolong learned everything quickly and liked to sit in front computer code. After graduating from University, he has reached a very high level in OPP and data structure.
until the WeChat was created later, Zhang Xiaolong also reminded himself, "in fact, you have lost your energy every day when you follow the routine."
Zhang Xiaolong is not only ideal but also strong in action. In
2010, a software Kik based on mobile phone address book free SMS Chat has got 1 million users in just half a month. When Zhang Xiaolong saw the software, he created an idea. He immediately wrote an email to Ma Huateng. He thought the mobile Internet was the next trend and suggested that the Tencent do a mobile social software. Ma Huateng, who was not asleep, immediately returned his four words: do it at once.
, so Zhang Xiaolong led the first research team with him to make QQ mail, and invested in the development of WeChat.
2011, WeChat 1 version of the line, three months after the line, the user growth slowly, in April, Talkbox suddenly exploded, Zhang Xiaolong keenly aware that this is a good opportunity. WeChat subsequently joined the voice function, and WeChat users grew slowly. Zhang Xiaolong suddenly realized whether it would be better if he added some elements of literature or human nature.
WeChat began to add some human functions, shake, circle of friends, find nearby people, and two-dimensional code. Later, WeChat users began exponential growth and laid the industry status.
Zhang Xiaolong recalled, "the whole process started for one or two hours. Suddenly, a wrong nerve was written, and the mail was written."
just one or two hours, but changed the trajectory of Zhang Xiaolong's life, and then developed products that affect the world. If Zhang Xiaolong had an ideal and didn't act as soon as possible, maybe today's outcome would be quite different.
do what you love, love what you do,
persistence is more difficult than insisting on doing it. The night that
Foxmail was bought, Zhang Xiaolong had a hundred feelings and couldn't sleep.
wrote in his letter: how much does
Zhang Xiaolong really love to make products?
university age, he is not a figure like Jobs. In the eyes of his graduate supervisor, he is just a young man who doesn't like talking, likes to play computer games and likes to lie in.
he is not good at dealing with people. He needs to use tools to communicate with people around him. Before developing WeChat, he developed Foxmail and QQ mailboxes one by one. These products share one commonality: better and easier communication. When
Foxmail didn't make money in the early days, Zhang Xiaolong still insisted on updating. He often reads a letter at night alone, his hands can't leave the keyboard, he keeps the arrow down, and in those frustrated nights, he returns to every reader who encourages his readers.
once, Zhou Hongyi quarrels with Zhang Xiaolong because of Foxmail's profit problem. "Foxmail has no business mode. You need to add advertisements to make profits."
but Zhang Xiaolong often puzzled, "why do we have to have users and feelings?"
every argument ends with Zhang Xiaolong's long silence.
a IT reporter, a long - term interview with him, said, "when the software is written, it needs a little bit of perfection, and Zhang Xiaolong prefers to develop the challenge at the beginning of the software. He has no interest in commercial software. "
he has always been an idealist, taking products as a work of art to shape.
he likes to hide some interesting personal expressions in the product. You use QQ mailbox to see Haizi's poetry, WeChat (product page) will meet Michael Jackson: "you said I was wrong, you better prove you right", he also used the country road photos: "Stay hungry. Stay foolish" to Jobs (WeChat 3.1 version of the new functional page).
after entering Tencent and developing QQ mail box, he once lived a mediocre life.
the enthusiasm for developing WeChat changed him.
