Jiang Tao should be regarded as an excellent student. After graduation, I returned to my hometown of Wuhan and became an employee of the Science and Technology Department of Wuhan Industrial and Commercial Bank. For a long time, working in a bank has been the dream of most people, but Jiang Tao chose to leave after working in the bank for only one year.
Jiang Tao said, "At that time, work was really boring. There is no information office in the bank, and the science and technology department is in name only. In the past, I didn't need technology, I just needed contacts and qualifications. Apart from technology, I had nothing. I can't feel the joy of working there and I can't see the hope of tomorrow, so I have to choose to resign. "
After resigning, Jiang Tao came to Shenzhen, which is the place that Deng xp just passed through during his southern tour, and also the experimental field of reform and opening up. There, Jiang Tao found his first job related to software. He was hired by Giant Group and became a programmer. Speaking of this, Jiang Tao said humorously: "It can be said that 1992 is a turning point, for the country and for me!"
The three years of staying in Giant Group are three years of Jiang Tao's down-to-earth work and three years of laying the foundation for Jiang Tao's future management. There, Jiang Tao started as the bottom programmer and became the manager of Chinese application software department.
Jiang Tao must have a deep affection for that life, because when I asked him today, he proudly told me that he developed the first handwritten version of China under the leadership of Giants. Although it seems that the program is not complicated now, it is undoubtedly an extraordinary project when windows2.0 is still in use.
It is difficult to give an accurate definition of Jiang Tao's life. During this time, he kept drifting, berthing, changing roles and changing again and again. However, if it hadn't been for the accumulation and precipitation of this period of time, and if it hadn't brought Jiang Tao so much information and experience in all aspects, then he wouldn't have succeeded today.
Before stepping out of the "giant", Jiang Tao was already a modest "official"-manager of Chinese application software department, so Jiang Tao didn't fly away alone, but left with the whole department. Jiang Tao said that Shenzhen in 1995 was a paradise for entrepreneurs, because there were too many venture capitalists there.
Perhaps it is "once bitten, twice shy", or perhaps the entrepreneurial atmosphere in Shenzhen has deeply influenced him. Jiang Tao no longer wanted to find a place to stay, but decided to start his own business. Therefore, when a real estate boss decided to invest in his project, Jiang Tao and his old subordinates set up a software company. The company is positioned to make customized software, and as a former department manager, Jiang Tao naturally became the boss, which is undoubtedly the first venture in Jiang Tao's life.
A year later, the company spent the first investment, and at this time, Jiang Tao discovered that his investor turned out to be a collective enterprise. The change of dynasty in this enterprise doomed the company to lose its source of investment, so Jiang Tao's first venture ended in failure.
The failure didn't discourage Jiang Tao. On the contrary, this entrepreneurial experience taught him too much: "That experience made me realize that as the boss of a software company, you need not only technology, but also management and market awareness. To do software, we must first understand the market and what the market needs.
Secondly, we should correctly evaluate our own ability to see if we have the ability to meet this demand, so as not to cause mistakes in the company's business positioning. My failure this time is that I didn't find the right position. In fact, if the investment in that year can continue, we will certainly learn from it and carry out business transformation, but we didn't have the opportunity then. "
In the following days, Jiang Tao did a lot. He lost his job, settled down at home and thought about life. He once worked as a vice president in Jinshan, and he realized the qualities that a manager must have. He even tried to start his own business again-although Beijing Hao Jie Company was only a flash in the pan in the entrepreneurial history of Jiang Tao, he was still deeply aware of the "actions" and "omissions" necessary for success.
If the first venture gave Jiang Tao the determination to start a business, then the next period of time will undoubtedly be an experience for Jiang Tao. These experiences have enabled him to accumulate experience and be ready to seize the opportunities that really belong to him.
1998, Jiang Tao is unemployed at home. He just turned 30 and began to brew another venture in his life. Experience and reality made Jiang Tao realize that "starting a business by technology" was unrealistic for him, but he was confused about what else he had besides technology, so he had to stare blankly at the computer every day.
Like all programmers, Jiang Tao is used to collecting some valuable professional materials for his own programming. Over time, these materials filled every corner of the machine, and how to organize them became his biggest headache. Jiang Tao, who was unemployed at home, decided to organize these materials with friends and then publish them in the form of CD.
The best-selling of "Programmer Camp" undoubtedly gave Jiang Tao the confidence to start a business; However, the storage limitation of CD-ROM also makes it difficult for the programmer's camp to have broad development space, so Jiang Tao began to think of new ways.
I don't know whether the popularity of 1999 Internet ignited Jiang Tao's inspiration, or whether Jiang Tao, as a technician, discovered the blank of domestic technical websites. In short, he began to have a preliminary model of the website in his mind: multifunctional and comprehensive, interdependent and complementary with the "programmer camp". In this way,1March 1999, the first professional website of software technology in China was born!
The website has a glorious name -CSDN (China Software Network) was born in MSDN. A few simple words undoubtedly contain Jiang Tao's expectation for it-not only to put time first, but also to become the first authority of domestic technical professional websites.
If the birth of CSDN website is inspired by Jiang Tao, then the success of CSDN website is due to Jiang Tao's persistence and accumulation in the software industry for many years. Jiang Tao used to be the most cutting-edge technician, so he can really understand the needs and interests of programmers; Jiang Tao has a group of good friends in the media, so he will think of using the professional and technical resources of the website to run a magazine; Jiang Tao once devoted himself to reviewing technical series, so he thought of publishing a book.
Provide the most professional books and practical examples for software developers, so that they can really find the "golden house" in books; Jiang Tao used to be a software project manager. Jiang Tao knew that they lacked cutting-edge technology most, so he thought of doing cutting-edge technology training, so that software people who had no time to take care of new technologies no longer had to worry about being eliminated. ...
Jiang Tao has experienced too many roles in the software industry, and he wants to provide authoritative, cutting-edge and most comprehensive services for each role, which undoubtedly enriches the commercial platform with CSDN website as the core: 1999.5438+02 CSDN website's unique professional forum on integral system is launched; On June 10, 2000, the magazine "Programmer" for professional developers was founded, which filled the blank of domestic technical comprehensive publications.
200 1.3CSDN website held the "First National Excellent Shareware and Free Software Selection Campaign", which became an important milestone in the development of shareware and free software in China. On 200 1.9, the programmer's base camp 200 1 series was launched, with a cumulative sales of160,000 sets in three years.
In 2002. 1 year, the programmer's value-added bound book was published, which became one of the top ten technical bestsellers of that year, setting a sales record for domestic magazine bound books. In March 2002, Programmer magazine was founded, including ten IT technical figures, ten IT technical authors and ten IT technical books. In 2002.7, CSDN website was completely revised, and its registered members exceeded 300,000.
In June 2003, a joint venture was established with Electronic Industry Press to establish Bowen Viewpoint (www.broadview.com.cn) Information Co., Ltd., focusing on the publication of computer professional books; In July 2003, he founded CSDN Development Master, a magazine for learning and improving software technology. 2003. 10 Established the second bookstore of IT professional e-commerce network (www.dearbook.com).
2003. 12 "The First China Software Technology Conference" was jointly held with Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences, which was the first independent software technology conference of non-manufacturers in China. In March 2004, we co-founded MSDN Development with Microsoft (China) and CMP Media Group. In May 2004, 5CSDN website officially launched blog service, and the second bookstore opened branches in Guangzhou and Shanghai.
In a short period of five years, CSDN website has developed from a point to a line, and from a line to a surface. Looking back on the growth of CSDN website in the past five years, Jiang Tao was filled with emotion. He said he didn't succeed. His ideal is to establish a variety of businesses with CSDN website as the core, including periodicals, book publishing, e-commerce, education and training, exhibition activities and so on.
Form a unique three-dimensional interactive operation mode to provide authoritative, cutting-edge and comprehensive services for software developers and software development and application enterprises. So far, the whole platform has been built 3/5, and the remaining 2/5 is still in the pipeline. Jiang Tao hopes to complete the construction of the whole platform in 2006, when the company has a foundation for sustainable development, and then he thinks he has succeeded.
