Starting a Business in Qihoo 360: A Product Manager's Road to Innovation

? You are very skilled. You have fought so many battles. This is another tough battle. Just a few of us, will you do it or not? ! Fuck! ?

Wang Tiejun rolled up his sleeves, brushed away the white hair that blocked his eyes, and described to reporters what they were doing. Chicken blood? . In his view, every time a new product is developed, it is like a war.

Wang Tiejun is the first intelligent hardware product manager of Internet company Qihoo 360. The second venture within the company made him? Old trees sprout new buds? . He likes challenges and solves old problems in new ways.

The beginning of Wang Tiejun's second venture was the intelligent hardware 360 portable wifi, a plug-and-play wireless router, which came out in 20 13.

It is said that it is a second venture because Wang Tiejun gave up mature software products and ventured to try intelligent hardware that he had never touched before.

? Sneaking around? Pull up a small team

Before choosing to be smart hardware, Wang Tiejun was in charge of the software product 360 Mobile Assistant. For a product manager, serving hundreds of millions of users has greatly proved his value, but Wang Tiejun must jump out of the safety zone. I don't like following the rules very much. ? He said.

The value of product manager is based on the needs of users. Wang Tiejun found it very troublesome to transmit files before mobile phones and computers, and wanted to design a cable to solve the transmission problem between mobile terminals and computers. ? But do users really need a line? No, they need to be transmitted easily? He succeeded in finding the root of the problem and decided to start a second business.

Starting your own small entrepreneurial team in a big company is also a coexistence of opportunities and challenges, and the pressure is no less than that of a real entrepreneurial team.

At first, Wang Tiejun had no funds, resources or even manpower. He's in 360? Sneaking around? In my spare time, I pulled a few people to develop portable wifi for fear that the experiment would not be successful. At first, they kept Zhou, chairman of Qihoo 360, a secret.

? Even on weekends, when my telephone colleagues came, no one asked me for overtime pay. ? Wang Tiejun said. Everyone is full of energy. The greater the technical difficulty, the more eager I am to see if I am good enough. However, solving problems is much more painful than finding them.

Wang Tiejun has a strong desire to solve the problem, which is the root of his pain. What bothers him the most? Choice? . The prototype of 360 portable wifi is multifunctional intelligent hardware, but in order to make the problem solved by the product more focused, he must give up more of himself? Desire? Find a way to cut off non-core functions correctly.

Physical fatigue was directly put aside by Wang Tiejun. Although I don't have much feeling about my figure, I have to admit that I have more and more white hair in the past two years.

Wang Tiejun likes extreme fighting and needs extreme relaxation. When is he? Tired to death? , will it? Disappear? A few days.

Once in a meeting, he suddenly vomited all over the table, and his stomach became inflamed, so he took a few days off and flew to Nepal. ? When I got to the mountain in Nepal, I got well as soon as my cell phone was turned off? . He has been to the North Pole three times, the South Pole once and Mount Everest twice. No phone, one person, five kilometers nobody. Relax and come back to fight.

After the 360 portable wifi products were designed and formed, Wang Tiejun took them there? Lao Zhou? Look at that. At Zhou's request, I originally planned to? A thread? Evolved into? Wireless? . ? Is traffic an important factor hindering the development of mobile Internet? Zhou accurately grasped this point, so 360 portable wifi only retained the function of surfing the Internet.

Internet industry front line, length of service 16? Uncle Tie? He is an old-timer, but he still goes to bed at three or four in the morning and gets up at nine in the morning. Wang Tiejun decided that he was walking? The right path? Go ahead, so? Particularly aggressive? .

? Users are waiting for your products, and you still have a lot of desires! ? Wang Tiejun thinks he is a craftsman. When he meets a problem, he has the impulse to solve it.

Stand with users and never lose.

In the first half of 20 15, he met several traffic accidents in succession. Once, while he was waiting for a red light, the car in front slipped and he was killed. Rear-end collision? He can't say for sure. ? I thought at that time, if there is a driving recorder that can be connected with a mobile phone, I can show my mobile phone to the driver in front on the spot, which will definitely not cause unnecessary disputes and congestion? . So he decided to make a driving recorder, which is the second intelligent hardware he developed.

? Uncle Tie? Especially willing to invest in the front line, in addition to staying up late to conquer technology, he also personally went to the factory to exchange production and served as a customer service return visit. In order to solve a user's problem, he and the engineer can drive from Beijing to Pingdingshan in Henan overnight.

User feedback largely satisfied Wang Tiejun's sense of accomplishment. I was particularly satisfied when my users told me that our products were easy to use. I think I can do one thing to make many people use you and praise you, and I realize great value? .

In two towering office buildings side by side, there are a group of employees who are thinking about product managers. The door on the first floor reads impressively? Serve the people? A few big characters. Believe in the idea of boss week: when you stand with users, you will never be defeated.

In Wang Tiejun's view, Chairman? Lao Zhou? He is also a product manager in his bones, and he is himself? Spiritual support? .

Zhou wants everyone to stay hungry. What can they do except finish their jobs? Internal entrepreneurship? If you have an idea, you can experiment at low cost first. If you have prospects, resources will be tilted towards the R&D team.

Wang Tiejun said with a smile? Lao Zhou always talks about me, Wang Tiejun, and you falsely preach the imperial edict! ? Wang Tiejun always pulls others to do some low-cost small R&D, and he is grateful to have such a platform, and he can allow himself to try.

? I am in good mental and physical condition, and what I do is valuable to users and companies. In the Internet of Things era, there is nothing wrong with the general direction of intelligent hardware. ? This is what Wang Tiejun said. The right path? He walked on this road with passion.

He likes listening to Days of Our Life and Life in Full Bloom, and enjoys the thrill of sprinting for the goal.

Constantly innovating because? Can't be idle?

The current strategy of China Internet product manager, represented by Wang Tiejun, is to try to combine the innovative spirit of Internet thinking with the strength of experts in the manufacturing field. At present, compared with the mature hardware production chain of well-known foreign Internet companies, they do not have a very complete hardware accumulation and are in the exploration stage.

As far as the innovative and entrepreneurial thinking of product managers is concerned, Wang Tiejun thinks that product managers in China? More grounded? I hope to solve a small problem at a lower cost and in a shorter time. This atmosphere is different from that of foreign laboratories. They hope to subvert the world, and it may take five or ten years to make a product. But there is no such opportunity in China. ?

When it comes to innovation, Wang Tiejun thinks the environment is very important. One of his cousins bought two second-hand luxury cars with a loan a few years ago and drove a special car in the county town. The business was booming. At that time, there was still little concept of special car in China. Wang Tiejun said excitedly and proudly. Did you get a look at him? China county has innovation! ?
