Whether you drop out of school and meet a company full of creativity or meet a perfect entrepreneurial partner, you can catch up with the background of mature video communication technology. Sui Meng Novel, doing the right thing at the right time is always a challenge.

For Chen Shijun, a Chinese boy who has made up his mind to start a video website to lure tubes, he must have never expected that the pie from the sky would hit him so quickly-

Chen Shijun was born in Taiwan in August 1978. She is a Chinese-American and three years younger than Chen Tiandu.

I have been flirting with computers since I was a child. I wrote down my first program in my life in the sixth grade of elementary school. After entering the University of Illinois at the top 5 in the United States (the computer major is ranked in the top 5 in the United States), I worked with computer enthusiasts all day long and threw my normal studies out of the blue. However, I was tempted by the temptation of working in Silicon Valley, although I was only half a year away from graduation, I resolutely dropped out of school and worked in Paypal, which was less than one year since I started my business.

He dropped out of school in his last semester, and others dropped out of school to start a business. His situation was to drop out of school and find employment, just because the job opportunities in Silicon Valley were so tempting.

If you don’t rush to work at PayPal, you won’t become a millionaire within three years, you won’t be able to meet future entrepreneurial partners, and you may not be able to stand on the tide of technology. From this point of view, dropping out of school and employment is a necessary basis for Chen Shijun to have a high-profile life in the future.

Of course, objectively speaking, Chen Shijun needs much less courage than us when he drops out of school and gets a job.

Chen Shijun is undoubtedly lucky. In February 2002, the company he joined paidpal went public on Nasdaq, which not only made them millionaires, but also allowed them to build their own circle of friends and take root in Silicon Valley.

Because the interdependence between paypal and ebay is too high, five months after paypal went public, ebay quickly acquired paypal. ebay's corporate culture made it difficult for old paypal employees such as Chen Shijun to adapt. The most obvious difference from paypal's early stage is that engineers lost their "right to speak" and could only listen to the dispatch of the top majors.

After several years of ebay, Chen Shijun finally plucked up the courage to resign. "I really want to try my best to make a decision, and my mind is full of ideas for starting a business. I can't write them all out."

...

This is an era when video recording equipment is popular. Small video recorders and mobile phones with video recording functions are fashionable things in the hands of young people. Many people like to bring video recorders to party and then watch the scenes of friends joking and even making pranks over and over again. Chen Shijun and Chad noticed many shocking videos and the phenomenon of the craze they caused in the crowd. But at that time, it was easy to share photos between friends, but it was difficult to share videos. This inspired their entrepreneurial impulse.

It is usually just a simple idea, a small need impulse. Then there is adjustment, and then adjustment... The same is true for the beginning of the temptation tube. No one knows what it will eventually become, but they like it and think it will bring convenience to more and more people, so they keep moving forward.

Every success of entrepreneurship is inevitable, and Chen Shijun's entrepreneurial examples are also indispensable.

Whether he dropped out of school, he met a company full of creativity, a perfect entrepreneurial partner, or a background of mature video communication technology. However, everyone has luck, and the important thing is whether he can grasp it.

"Do the right thing at the right time". It's always a challenge for everyone.

Of course, there is another very important reason why Chen Shijun decided to start a business, which is that his entrepreneurial partners returned to their positions. After getting married a few years ago, Chad Hurley moved to Seattle and moved back to Silicon Valley with his wife and newborn children. They decided to create something together, so the entrepreneurship began.

Like all entrepreneurship, it is always difficult to start. Their top 10 engineers recruited from old paypal colleagues, without venture capital, no salary; buying servers and bandwidth to swipe credit cards...

They also like to read gossip news in the IT industry every day and browse the latest current events. The hottest news recently is that Chen Tian was forced to reduce his holdings in Google shares. If it were them, they would probably not be able to bear this courage. Although Chen Tian was acquiring DreamWorks and Apple's department, he undoubtedly lost from Google's position.

This is the United States, and it is difficult for outsiders to know what kind of pressure he is under.

Before he persisted, Chen Shijun found that he was just like ordinary people and was envious. But he was not worried about Google user information. These were all pretexts. But after Chen Tian really reduced his holdings in Google stocks, this envy immediately turned into regret. Then he empathized with him and regretted the experience of a foreigner after he took control of information in the United States.

But they didn't expect that within a few days, the person who had never seen him online and in the cinema appeared in front of them alive.

Appeared in front of the "Tutube" company that had just been registered, and proposed to acquire or invest.

"I am very optimistic about the future of video sharing websites..." Chen Tiandu just stood in front of them and talked, "This is an era of big Internet explosions. A series of new Internet lifestyles such as video communication, video socialization, and video marketing will be popularized in the future. Think about it, when everyone has a mobile phone that can be photographed with high-definition, how explosive growth will the video business have."

"With my funds and strength, your technology and creativity, I can guarantee that this video website will become another Internet business miracle in the United States in a year. The prerequisite is to accept my olive branch and then realize it together."

What else can Chen Shijun and Cha De say? For a small company that is poor and has lived on their own meager savings. Although this investment seems too huge, it will change the ownership of the company, and they have no other choice.

The friends discussed for a long time before finally responding. Chad coughed dryly, hesitated and put forward the conditions: "We need the right to independently develop, you can't interfere too much..."

Chen Tian rolled his eyes, patted his shoulder hard and said, "Buddha, believe me, I'm not interested in sitting in front of the computer to write code."

"Then... what is your positioning for luring tube?" Chen Shijun asked tentatively.

"Test me?" Chen Tiandu raised his eyebrows, "Can you speak Chinese?"

"Yes, yes." Chen Shijun nodded constantly with a weak temper.

"Very good. I haven't forgotten yet." Chen Tiandu changed his tone and smiled: "But I think it's better to speak English now, what do you think."

"You can do whatever you want." Chen Shijun smiled, and suddenly felt that he was getting closer to the big stars and rich people. He also gave birth to the feeling of "compatriots" for the first time.

Chen Tiandu stretched out a fist and began to count his fingers while explaining, saying: "My smart technology company is about to launch its first smartphone product, and there will be smart computer products in the future, which is a hardware resource platform; a social networking website Facebook has been launched. It has developed very well, which is a user platform; a micro-blog-style social networking website is about to be launched, which is a supplementary user platform; a car company about to be launched, this... is not a platform, it is purely a personal hobby. What is still missing in the Internet sector is a video website."

"Share, not dating platforms. This is my positioning, do you understand?"

Chen Shijun, Chad and others looked at each other and had nothing to say. They were still working hard to create a website. Others are the same age and have now built the entire investment network. How can they compare?

"I am your fan, can I... be able to sign me?" A four-eyed coder named William's eyes showed his admiration and suddenly asked a question, raising his hand like a primary school student.

Chen Tiandu slapped his forehead, and was shocked. He shook his fingers and said, "Don't be like this, everyone will meet again in the future. You are like a gangster. It will be very embarrassing next time we meet."

"Hahaha..." The group of people finally burst into laughter.

In this way, Chen Tiandu took over the newly emerging company and brought them a professional management team and an objective development fund. This management team was hired by Coca-Cola former Cyo Chason Claude. He will be responsible for the promotion, publicity and establishment of content copyright business of inducing tube.

In the original time and space, the temptation tube was forced to sell it one year later. The big reason was that it was troubled by the copyrights of various music, TV, movies and videos, and faced the situation of suing and repaying huge copyright fees. It had to be sold to Google less than a year after it was launched.

Although it was sold at a high price of $1.6 billion at that time, compared to the inducement tube several years later, who dares to say that this is a wise deal?

Chen Tiandu, who has learned the lessons of the future, naturally has to start from scratch. Then a professional and mature management team is indispensable.

Although buying massive copyrights from the beginning will greatly increase the initial expenditure of the website, Chen Tiandu is now the stage where he is least short of money. In a pretentious sentence, "The only thing that is poor is left is money."

The Tube video sharing website has undergone earth-shaking changes in this way.

During Thanksgiving, negotiations on the acquisition of DreamWorks will be temporarily suspended for a few days.

Thanksgiving is undoubtedly the most important holiday before Christmas, and a considerable number of people even believe that Thanksgiving is more important than Christmas.

Every Thanksgiving Day, the whole country in the United States is very lively. Disguised parades, drama performances and sports competitions are held everywhere in urban and rural towns, and schools and shops also have holidays as required. Children imitate the appearance of Indians back then, put on bizarre costumes, paint faces or masks to sing on the street and blow trumpets.

There were also many people in the church that day, and according to custom, people pray for gratitude here. The United States has been accustomed to life since childhood, and they go their separate ways. On Thanksgiving, they always strive to return from all over the world, sit together, chew delicious turkey, and talk about the past. How can this not make people feel particularly friendly and warm?

At the same time, the hospitality Americans cannot forget about this day inviting friends, bachelors or people away from their hometowns to spend the festival together.

Since the 18th century, a custom of giving a basket of food to poor families began to emerge in the United States. At that time, a group of young women wanted to choose one day of the year to do good deeds, thinking that choosing Thanksgiving was the most appropriate. So as soon as Thanksgiving came, they packed a basket of food in the Qing Dynasty and delivered it to poor families in person. This incident was rumored far and wide, and soon many people began to do it as they did.

On this day, Chen Tiandu received a thank-you text from Robert Downey Jr.: "Thank you for meeting such a good friend like you at the trough of your life. Good luck, man."

Chen Tian replied to him, "I bet you must have drunk too much now." In order to confirm this, he also asked Kate to call Susan to confirm, it was true. Susan didn't know that Robert Downey Jr. had sent such a "funny text message". When he heard Kate's report, he couldn't help laughing. It's hard to imagine that Robert Downey Jr., who has always been favorable, would have such a emotional side.

Susan whispered to Kate: "I can guarantee that he drinks very little. But in order to save him some face, I'd better drink a lot."

Chen Tian smiled, at least his actions have also gained a few true friends, right?

"Wife, who do you want to thank?"

Kate thought for a while and said, "Well, I want to thank God for giving birth to such a cute pair of children. Dear, let's go to church for worship."

Chen Tian was grinning and instinctively wanted to escape, "Uh, sorry, my wife, I asked Fan and the others to have a drink..."

But when he looked at Kate, he couldn't continue talking, "Okay, I'll go for a week with you."

In the church, many people recognized them, but just smiled kindly, and did not crowd up in such a solemn occasion. At this moment, they were just an ordinary young couple, no different from others.

The Thanksgiving church is also full of sacred atmosphere.

Although Chen Tian is a person with a widespread belief, he will feel much more refreshed when he receives spiritual baptism occasionally. He will not even think of his usual intrigues, as if he has really given him a bath.

During the Thanksgiving holiday, I also have long-lost expectations for cinema line dealers.

In the week from November 22 to 28, all films during the same period were sold at the box office.

Before this week, the most popular movie was "Alexander the Great".

For the king Alexander the Great, it may be easy to conquer the world, but conquering the North American box office rankings is completely different. (To be continued.)
