Wang Pengfei, male, born in 198 1, a native of Shangfanying Village, Liaohe Town, Wolong District, Nanyang City, Henan Province, graduated from nanyang normal University. One of the founders and representatives of the new era of wireless Internet. Founded and operated Tianxia.com, and became the CEO of the company, and received tens of millions of dollars in venture capital.

"A few years ago, my goal was to be a wireless Internet portal and hope to go public in 2008. From the current point of view, we are moving along such a path. " Wang Pengfei actually turned his personal hobby into a career. His "Tianxia.com" company is headquartered in Shanghai, with branches in Beijing and Guangzhou, with nearly 100 employees.

When Baidu searched for the word combination of "mobile phone WAP", the link of "Tianxia.com-the largest mobile phone dating network in China" was ranked first, and the CEO of this website, Wang Pengfei, was the legendary "Nanyang teenager" in the IT industry. On August 30th, Wang Pengfei accepted an exclusive interview with this newspaper as a member of the delegation of Henan businessmen in Shanghai. At the age of 29, he talked with reporters in Nanyang dialect to discuss the surge of WAP and Internet in China.

"WAP" (that is, "wireless communication technology"-which can be simply understood as surfing the Internet by mobile phone) proves Wang Pengfei's great reputation in the IT field: Tianxia.com was established in March 2004, formerly known as "WAP World". On June 5438+ 10, 2008, Tianxia.com won the honor of "China Excellent Wireless Internet 10" in 2007, and became the largest and best mobile dating network in China.

Wang Pengfei, who created this achievement, just graduated from the Physical Education Department of Nanyang Normal University five years ago.

The flying dream of young netizens

1998, most people still don't know what surfing the internet is, and "Internet cafes" are definitely a new thing. In a small Internet cafe on Renmin Road, Wang Pengfei, just 18 years old, has skillfully used the mouse and keyboard to exchange and discuss with netizens on "Zhuge Forum" and "Wolong Forum".

Although young, Wang Pengfei, a senior high school student, showed his talents in network and served as the moderator of the forum's network hardware section. "At that time, I was really obsessed with the Internet. I spent all my spare time surfing the Internet and had a net friend party ..." Now Wang Pengfei still misses the day when I was an online guest of teenagers.

At that time, Wang Pengfei began to contact website production, began to learn to use related technologies, and had his first personal homepage-Pengfei's basketball.

In 2000, Wang Pengfei was admitted to Nanyang Normal University, majoring in physical education. "The purpose of choosing this major at that time was to have more time to surf the Internet and make websites. At that time, I began to consider choosing a new direction to be a big website. "

Nanyang Grass Roots' Road to Entrepreneurship

"At that time, if I hesitated, I might obey the distribution and become a physical education teacher." In 2003, Wang Pengfei, who is about to graduate, faced two choices: either to be a physical education teacher in a middle school and work steadily; Or fight for your dreams. Wang Pengfei, who wanted to be a website, went to an SP company in Hangzhou and started his Internet career.

Wang Pengfei's name on the Internet is "phreak", and "phreak" means a knight who flies on the Internet. Unlike his peers in Qian Qian who seek their dreams on the Internet, Wang Pengfei's keen sense of new things makes him seize opportunities in life again and again.

After working in several SP companies, Wang Pengfei felt that the work content was too simple, and he had to explain what WAP was all day, so he had the idea of making his own mobile internet site. So, he collected all kinds of WAP technical materials and founded "WAP World". At the end of 2005, the first venture capital of "WAP World" was put in place-a multi-million-dollar strategic investment from Morgan Stanley Bank. "I feel that I am one step closer to my ideal." Wang Pengfei described how he felt when he got millions of dollars in venture capital. In 2006, "WAP World" attracted the second venture capital.

Overnight, Wang Pengfei changed from an Internet grassroots entrepreneur to a new economic leader. In July, 2007, "WAP Tianxia" was upgraded to a mobile phone dating network, and changed its name to today's "Tianxia Network".

Soon after, Wang Pengfei left the world network he founded and started a new career in the north! 20 10 in may, Beijing smart snapshot information technology co., ltd was established in Beijing as the general manager. The company focuses on developing mobile phone QR code recognition software and providing QR code solutions.
