girlfriend
Gao Ran once told People magazine that one of the reasons for his resignation was to make money to support his wife. His wife is very beautiful. She is a flight attendant in another city. Traveling back and forth between the two places is expensive, which makes Gao Burning feel the pressure of life. Some people will change a "cheap" wife nearby, but this is not a high fever.
In 2002, I was a senior. At that time, the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts had just arrived in Tsinghua, and Tsinghua boys envied the girls in the Academy of Fine Arts. In winter, the Academy of Fine Arts holds a New Year's party and invites Tsinghua's brothers to attend. That night, Gao Yan was still preparing the application materials for studying abroad for several months, which was particularly boring. Gao Yan suddenly stood up from the stool. He wants to go to the party. Seeing so many beautiful girls at the scene, a voice came out of my heart and said to Gao Burning, I must know the most beautiful girl here tonight.
High burning stood at the door, waiting for him. At this time, the "most beautiful one" and the other one came over and prepared to leave. Gao Yan greeted him and said, Did you leave so early? They said "hmm". The most beautiful one, she thinks Gao Yan knows the other, and the other thinks Gao Yan knows the most beautiful one. Three people go outside together.
165438+ In October, it snowed and it was very cold. She dressed them both in thick clothes and a shirt to prevent high fever. Talked a few words. Gao Yan asked, what's your phone number? The other one asked Gao Zhuo, who do you ask? Gao Zhuo pointed to the most beautiful one without thinking and said, I asked her.
Only the most beautiful one knows that Gao Yan and they don't know each other. Two. She is riding a bike, ready to start. Gao Yan said, you can't do this. I thought to myself, I have to take risks, otherwise there is no way. "I'm freezing with so few clothes on." The high-burning outfit was pitiful, and I bumped into them with my mobile phone: "You didn't even give a phone call?" She said that the most beautiful thing is that there is really no mobile phone. Gao Yan said, give an email. She said there was no mail either.
High burning is really desperate. "It's really not good to give a QQ, and it's ok to be fake!" He finally shouted a voice. When she left, she really gave Gao Burning a QQ number. But this QQ number is real. From the next day, Gao Yan chatted with her on QQ every day and sent her interesting posts. Later, she will write a paper and ask Gao Shao, do you have time to help me? Two people met. This is her wife with a high fever. Gao Shao is not tall and handsome.
Why did Gao Huo suddenly stand up from the stool that night? Why do those voices come from his heart? Maybe it's personality, maybe it's accident, which is far from logic. But high combustion is to turn this simple and direct impulse into reality.
Guiren Jiang Xipei
Jiang Xipei is a noble man, and none of them can avoid this in a high-burning life. In June 2004, Jiang Xipei gave 1 10,000 yuan to Gao Huo, who had known each other for only a few months and graduated from college less than 1 year. At that time, he was unarmed and had nothing, and this first bucket of gold simply fell from the sky. Jiang Xipei, chairman of Jiangsu Far East Group, was born in a peasant family and started from scratch. Representative of the 16th CPC National Congress. In the summer of 2003, when Gao Burning was about to graduate, he first saw Jiang Xipei on the dialogue program of CCTV. He is such a simple person that he wants to know him. A few days later, Gao ran into the campus of Jiang Xipei to give a lecture. In fact, Jiang Xipei has long heard of Gao Yan. He didn't go to high school because his family was poor, so he was the first person to go directly to Tsinghua from a technical secondary school. He was in a magazine. Jiang Xipei said that Gao Zhuo is a man of heart. In the noisy scene, a dress fell to the ground, and Gao Yan quietly picked it up and hung it beside it.
There is no psychological barrier to contacting successful entrepreneurs. I have worshipped great men since I was a child, such as Mao Zedong. In his mind, Jiang Xipei is inferior to them. He feels that he may be more successful when he is about the same age as these entrepreneurs. Gao Yan also believes that if you are kind to people, people will be kind to you, and opportunities will come naturally.
In April 2004, Yahoo and Sina cooperated to set up 1 Paiwang, and Ma Yun's Taobao caught up with Yi Bei. Gao Yan also wants to develop e-commerce and has made a business plan. The first one was given to Yang Zhiyuan who was in Beijing at that time. Gao Yan stuck him in the elevator in Kerry Center, but there was no reply. The second copy was given to Jiang Xipei. At that time, Jiang attended a meeting organized by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League in Changchun City, Jilin Province. Gao Zhuo learned about it in the afternoon and immediately stood on the train all night. He arrived in Changchun the next morning and handed in the plan with both hands. Jiang Xipei said that the confidence and determination to do something is too precious.
Looking back on the simple and rough business plan two years ago, I feel ashamed that I have no team, no technology and no resources. In the eyes of knowledgeable people, this is simply an attempt by a white wolf with empty gloves. But at that time, Gao Burning was completely immersed in impulse, and Jiang Xipei stood with him: first, he thought the industry had a chance, and second, he was optimistic about the young man. Two hours later, an oral agreement was reached: Jiang Xipei contributed 6,543,800 yuan, accounting for 65% of the shares, and Gaozhan contributed 35% by intelligence. Gao Yan jumped up with a smile. I went back to Beijing the next day and found several doctors from Tsinghua Automation Department to form a team.
In June, Gao Ran was called to Jiangsu to open the board of directors. To make a formal decision, a dozen directors and seven supervisors form a half round table, and one person sits at the other end. There are too many objections. Among more than 20 people, the elderly director is against it, and experts and scholars are against it. They concluded that there was no chance of winning and there were contradictions in the plan, and even today they could not justify themselves. Only three people support it, Jiang Xipei, a vice-principal who also graduated from Tsinghua University, and a female director. These three people are only personally familiar with high combustion. There is also a kind of high-burning, a person sitting at one end of the table "almost crazy" to resist.
In the afternoon, the board of directors studied behind closed doors and went back to the hotel to rest. He knew in his heart that there was basically no hope. 100000 is not a small number. Jiang Xipei is afraid to make his own decision. After all, we are outnumbered. Gao Huo is ready to "go his own way".
In the evening 10, I went to the restaurant with high fever, ordered rice porridge and pickles, and drank five bowls at a time. Sitting in a high combustion state. Jiang Xipei finally spoke, "High-burning, you will definitely achieve something." Gao Yan recognized the implication and began to drink only porridge. If he doesn't go to see this, he is rejecting his own people. Jiang Xipei went on to say, but this project is too risky for us to agree; Personally, I like this project very much, but ... I didn't listen to the rest, and my head was buzzing. Once again, he was almost desperate, but he still wanted to take a chance, just like that night more than a year ago, he asked the "most beautiful girl" for a "fake QQ number".
"You're hurting me!" High burning loudly said. Jiang Xipei was obviously a little shocked. Gao Yan ignored him, just saying, "I have several brothers at home. How can I explain it when I go back? " ..... "At that time, many people wanted to vote for me in this project, and I came because I had a good relationship with you. Graduation is coming soon, the team has not been built, and the channels have not been built. What should I do? " These rhetoric, high combustion in the hotel this afternoon has been thought about.
Once again, Gao Ran got a real QQ number. Jiang Xipei finally promised to give him 654.38+0 million. When he left, Jiang Xipei patted him on the shoulder and said something that the young man will remember all his life: "This project is very risky, but you don't take risks."
To this day, Gao Huo didn't quite understand what Jiang Xipei was thinking.
The high-fever e-commerce plan really failed, and several entrepreneurial partners also went their separate ways after half a year. However, this high-burning career has been exposed in the last six months. In February 2005, Gao Ran, a classmate from Tsinghua, entered Dundee, and they merged to form MySee.com. Eight months later, I got millions of dollars in venture capital. Today, Gao Ran and Dundee manage a team of more than 65,438,000 people. Jiang Xipei increased 6.5438+0 million yuan in this process, and the total investment of 2 million yuan has increased by at least 654.38+00 times today.
A year and a half later, Jiang Xipei revealed his real idea of investing in high-burning to China Entrepreneur:
"Even if the project fails, it will be a great help to him. The loss of 1 10,000 is not big for me; But this man will succeed in the end, and I will be rewarded in the end. He can take the initiative to seize the opportunity, and some people don't know how to seize it even if they have the opportunity before them. Without this 1 10,000, he will succeed, just sooner or later. " If Gao Burning is an energetic person, then Dundee is an interesting person.
On the first day of graduation in July 2003, Dundee registered his own company. Maybe in his mind, he never thought about who he would work for. Dundee is a classmate of Gao Yan's journalism department, but this guy has never studied hard in college for four years. He is a computer geek. The family is good, and junior high school began to be obsessed. I changed several notebooks during my college years, and I was the leader of the college network management group. But why do you still study liberal arts? According to research, a girl I liked in high school was in the liberal arts class, so she simply transferred to the liberal arts class.
Dundee has an idea. The era of broadband Internet is coming, but there is no killer application. Multimedia is a direction, but the technology at that time could not solve the problem of large-scale stable transmission. Dundee hopes to apply the emerging P2P technology to streaming media. Zhang Hexiang, who started a business with Dundee, said that if it is done, it must be an amazing future.
Zhang Hexiang is a computer major in Peking University. At that time, more than 1 3 of his class went abroad, and more than13 went to graduate school, and several job seekers also went to foreign companies with a monthly salary of110,000. But Zhang Hexiang said that the Internet is a place where people can expand their imagination. If you have a good idea, why not do it? Although he was the only one in the class who chose to start a business, it was a "natural and easy" decision. Zhang Hexiang doesn't like going abroad. You can see the world and know many "awesome people" abroad, but more and more foreign "awesome people" are heading for China. He doesn't want to go to a big company either. He can only go in with a screw. Although he can learn its management methods, starting a business is more interesting. Students who went abroad and went to graduate school all raised their hands to support his decision. "This is your character." .
Although I started a business, I hardly thought about where the market is and how to make money. P2P streaming media transmission is a huge project, which requires many people and many years of continuous work. But there is no direct market value before the technological breakthrough is realized. Neither Dundee nor Zhang Hexiang wants to do odd jobs to earn money, because it will distract them. It takes money not only to eat and drink, but also to prepare the machine. At the peak, you should invite ten doctors and masters from Tsinghua. What should we do?
Dundee has a plan. His parents who started a company in Changsha became his ATM. Dundee "started his business" for a year and a half, and his family spent a total of 1 more than ten thousand. In the traditional sense, this is simply a black sheep, but in the eyes of some people, it is great, and only those who do great things dare to take responsibility. In a sense, parents became their angel investors.
But sitting on the mountain. Dundee became more and more uneasy. In the Spring Festival of 2005, he encountered the same distress. A person has technical ideals, a person has social resources, a gentleness and a "bully". Hit it off. Then it went very well. High-burning persuaded Dundee to take the initiative to find the market and not blindly study technology; Song Lian visited the mainland in April, and they helped Sina and Sohu broadcast live successfully. Then financing, recruitment and expansion. ...
reality
After getting the venture capital, Gao Huo suddenly calmed down a lot. Talking to investors as an elder, I found myself so naive. I used to be a passionate teenager who was crazy about chasing dreams, and everyone was willing to give you a chance; Now it's tied to myself. The company can't do it well, and this boy can't do it well. No one will give you another chance in the future. This is the real pressure.
A scorching day. Arrive at the company at 9: 00 every morning, browse all kinds of information online and exchange information with peers. Have dinner with customers at noon. Deal with all kinds of affairs and have meetings in the afternoon. Get off work at 6 o'clock, visit customers first, eat 10, and then have coffee. Customers come from all walks of life, including state-owned giants such as broadcasting and telecommunications. 12 Go home and read for two hours. Biography of Murdoch, secretary of the provincial party Committee, Yu Hua brothers. By the day he met the reporter, he hadn't seen his wife for 1 month.
Gao has a high spirit, but he is not considered to be more successful than those college classmates. A classmate graduated and went to Shanghai International Automobile City. 1, became the secretary of the chairman, and two years later went to a multi-billion real estate company as the boss. The other has a good family, a port and an annual income of hundreds of millions. Another one went to Morgan Stanley, and the president of Greater China was very happy, saying that this person was the best employee he had recruited in ten years. Gao Ran said: "They are actually more successful than me. If I am still successful, it is because I hope to grow faster than my peers. I have a lofty ideal. "
