Third, supplementary information (classic quotations from Wang Xing)

1, after intense work, I sometimes daydream a little. If I had been born a million years earlier, as a man, I should be hunting at this moment. I should be wearing a leather skirt and holding a javelin. I am catching goats and deer, and I may be fighting tigers, leopards, wolves and bears. If you don't do it well, you will be bitten to death and your family will starve to death. Every time I think about it, I decide to concentrate and go back to the real jungle of China Internet. ?

2. Starting a business is not simple, but it is not painful, unless what you do is not suitable for you. For some people, running or lifting weights is a very painful thing, and it takes a lot of perseverance to persist, but for others, these activities are full of fun. ?

3. Every time a media (especially foreign media) asks why China's Internet innovation basically lags behind that of the United States, I just want to throw them a sentence: Do you think Arabs are the best at digging oil?

The more confident you are about the future, the more patient you are about the present.

Many entrepreneurs rely too much on capital and think that capital can solve all problems, but entrepreneurs should understand that Tencent will always be richer than you.

6. In the final analysis, the problem of starting a business is to understand who to ask for help to solve what problems.

7. The death of a startup is nothing more than two things: one is that money is spent, and the other is that confidence is exhausted.

8. First of all, we should take the lead in consumer satisfaction, so as to take the lead in sales and market share.

9. Most people are willing to do anything to avoid real thinking.
