Yangcheng Evening News: Why?
Ma: The United States can not do it in China. Because of cultural inconsistencies is very large for China, which is to our convenience, others find it difficult to activity in, failings that is hard to beat you out. China is now doing international matter, basically rely on labor spend advantage.
But as China's economy evolution, and slowly will have a opportunity, but this thing truly can not rush. Do sometimes must pick the worldwide mart, than we are still lagging back the market, have a greater latent market can really be given prerogative.
success is innovation and imitation of victory victory
about can be like the Internet, as almost complete synchronization with the United States. And not one manufacture can be like the Internet did, Lu Xun's
cautious study of several Internet companies can be base, they can be in exotic countries, without exception, detect the corresponding template: Sina, Sohu's preceptor namely Tencent too mock the game ... ... in the
entrepreneurship: the paging network linked with
story began in 1998, this year, the 27-year-old campus student Zhang Zhidong Ma together with the founder of Tencent. Company to do? Escape from the paging industry, came out of the Ma, the natural thought ICQ is actually an instant online communication tools, set paging, chat, e-mail and file transfer many features in one. At the time, it is one of the most fashionable tools, and even Mr. Ma also its fans.
in just three months, QQ OICQ predecessor arrival. From the outside, it's almost a finished edition of ICQ. However, is such a chip of software, and immediately became the favored Chinese Internet users conversation tool. Less than a year, users surpassed 100 million.
sweetness: proceeded incessantly emulated
Tencent savored the sweetness of the imitation, and out of control: the presentation of other sites QQ school member; learn Sina made ring tones; educate GOOGLE (Google) do a search; Studies eBay (easy to shell) to do e-commerce ... ...
the course of just ten years, Mr. Ma had almost never stopped imitating and learning. to reporters, he looked lull.
quarrel: the prefix to every major decision the most classic imitation
or November 2002. A visit to South Korea and Shenzhen Tencent employee later the management crew, including Ma, including the highly suggested
Ma At first did not think it made a number of questions, Interestingly, each face a major determination Tencent, all from the quarrel started, but not ashore a Ma agreed to a week to complete the development, try to introduce to the user.
Ma is the This
creation: the real reason because the victory sham
Perhaps for this reason, the outside world in the appraisal of Tencent, the total will inevitably add that However, Ma smart, successful gene not limited to imitation, but imitation institution. Take the QQ (previously OICQ), despite the nativity out of ICQ, but forsook the latter disability. OICQ such as offline messaging trait additional, so that anybody can be chosen at promiscuous through the list of online chatting. Not only that, OICQ also allows users to use personalized picture --- these functional and attractive, until a few years later, QQ MSN was the most powerful antagonists amplified.
nuances of these surfaces, so Tencent in the Since then, QQ and ICQ to the 2 assorted development trajectories: the sometime transform one of the most profitable Internet companies; the latter perished.
Now, continue to seek to imitate the target, Tencent also secretly building their own technology fortress: it is the 1st R & D hearts in China, a group of Internet companies; latest file show namely the number of patent Tencent 1787,
Second reproduced How apt amend efficiency - Lit, 100 authorized patents mark a discovery, more than all the other Internet companies to apply several times the amount of the amount. Not merely namely, it obtained a patent license from abroad, this is the Internet companies
stick to impasse
who knows no one nigh to sell QQ optimistic
He was faced with two choices: Tencent sell alternatively not sell?
Of millions of users exceeded This is the ascend of the Internet when the support of the November 1999, Tencent's list was only more than 10,000 yuan. 18 employees to the interests of the company, Ma determined to reluctantly sell low-cost service platform QQ.
no one think that One is in Guangzhou 21CN. Told reporters, a senior medium human, 21CN had proposed to adjoin the buy, but with a public senior professionals to interchange and concluded that In fact, this was the biggest quandary faced Ma. It is said that Tencent has been negotiating with the Shenzhen Bureau of telecommunications data, the other for the 60 million, but Ma insisted to sell 100 million.
unsuccessful, Mr. Ma with a 100 million inquiring price and went to Beijing. Sources said he has found a CDC, Sina and Sohu, but the other said do not offer a high-level one.
Later, there is a style depicting the use of such media, Ma then state of mind: He secretly decides that this can not be brought QQ Little Penguin. This was cordial, a quarrel with the detriment of
, Tencent finally got the IDG and the Pacific Century 220 million in absolute investment for, and let out 40% of the shares. After the PCG repeatedly in June 2001 to $ 12,600,000 will be cost by 20% equity it holds the full convey to South Africa's MIH Group.

Transfer billionaire John D. Rockefeller Quotatio!
the face of today's Tencent, Mr. Ma also after robbery recess of his life sensibility. He said: is the start date of the team to disband. Such laws, in many companies played out over and over again. Tencent is an exception. So far, in Internet companies in China, Tencent's business team can be said to have retained the most complete - - including Zhang Zhidong, central technology commander, chief information officer Xu Chen Ye, Chen Yidan Chief Administrative Officer and other executives remain.

Some people have tried to add money to account for a bigger stake, Ma flatly rejected: industry entrepreneurs equity unaware, Ma sense of their stake in governance has been a apparent awakening. , major funding, accounting for a massive share, is almost natural.

each success, even if there are too many accidental ingredients, but it can not be an obstacle we explore the inevitable.
from the founder of Ma, we look an emerging entrepreneurs, business sense and commitment. It is so to let his people are not optimistic, still adhere to the kinds of business sense, different from the wilderness like the first generation of pioneering entrepreneurs, Tencent thereby shirking the first generation of Chinese companies tragic fate of the fallen.
Ma's smart not limited to this. modicum of success with the majority of entrepreneurs haughty and complacent while compared to the untimely Ma often reveal concerns. and talk to him, the most heard is not the success of Tencent, but Tencent crisis.
