1984 came to Shenzhen from Hainan with his parents; 1993 Graduated from Shenzhen University, majoring in computer science; In the same year, I joined Runxun Company and started to be a software engineer.
"Since 1998, I have considered starting my own business, but I have never thought about what to do, but the idea of starting a business has not fluctuated. I know that I am fully capable of doing what I am interested in. I feel that I can find space in the two major resources of paging and network. " Later, OICQ, an online Chinese ICQ service based on the Internet, was independently developed, making it the largest online Chinese ICQ service provider in China. 1999 10 received venture capital of $10,000 from IDG and PCCW 165438+ respectively. At present, QQ has 934.9 million registered users at home and abroad (mainly at home), and it is increasing at a geometric speed every day. It can be said that domestic netizens use instant messaging tools the most. QQ itself also benefits from advertising, mobile QQ, QQ membership fees and other fields. As the founder of the company, Ma Ziran is the biggest contributor and beneficiary. He is kind and polite, but he doesn't care about the deepening media attention, but there are countless media reports about it. No matter people in the industry or ordinary netizens, even people who don't surf the Internet appreciate Ma's vision and courage.
Ma is a person who advocates sharing and freedom. He will not simply emphasize the value of "I". He knows the meaning of the team. Several founders of Tencent have many years of experience in Shenzhen telecom and network industry. They are almost the earliest people engaged in the Internet in Shenzhen, and they can undoubtedly provide Tencent with a lot of help in technology and business. "Entrepreneurship is not a fun thing, and Tencent is not always smooth. In the beginning, our servers were nowhere to be hosted, and it was much more complicated to create a company than to write software. " Ma feels that there are still many things to remember in the early stage of starting a business. Ma has his own ideas on how to link paging with network to develop business, but there is indeed a heated debate among Tencent's shareholders about whether to launch ICQ project. "Finally, the sense of identity with the development direction of network technology made everyone seek common ground while reserving differences, and we began to show preference for ICQ technology." ICQ is an instant communication tool based on Internet, which integrates many functions such as paging, chatting, e-mail, file transfer, etc. When users install ICQ on personal computers, it will be embedded in the window system and become an icon on the desktop. Every time the user turns on the computer, it is a fixed device. Netizens can know whether their friends are surfing the Internet and communicate directly. Seeing that users have great demand for Chinese ICQ services, three young people independently developed online Chinese ICQ services based on the Internet, becoming the Chinese ICQ service providers with the largest number of online users in China.
