Li Xiang, 28, is such a successful person. After graduating from high school, he gave up college and became obsessed with starting a business on the Internet. It only took him four years to earn several thousand yuan, worth over 100 million yuan. His bubble net has also developed from an initial personal website to the third largest Chinese IT professional website in China. Unlike many "turtles" who returned to China with tens of millions of dollars to start businesses, Li Xiang's business relies entirely on the accumulation of personal funds, and all assets are earned bit by bit.
In the past 20 years, Li Xiang, who is worth over 100 million yuan, has been labeled as "post-80s" by the media, frequently appearing in magazines and TV programs, and became famous in one fell swoop.
Recently, a program on Shanghai TV invited him to talk about him and his times. Today, this big boy who became famous three years ago seems to be still immature and shy, but his speech is more calm and heavy, and his understanding of the Internet industry is becoming clearer and clearer.
Start a business after graduating from high school
Li Xiang, a native of Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, was born in a family with a strong artistic atmosphere. My father is a drama director and my mother is also engaged in artistic work. Parents hope that he can follow in his father's footsteps, but this wayward and thoughtful child suddenly likes computers and networks. He used all his pocket money to buy all the computer magazines, and set himself the goal of "being the top editor of IT media after graduating from college" when he was a freshman. In his sophomore year, he contributed to almost all IT media in China, wrote articles on computer purchase and technical experience, and got the top remuneration of 300 yuan per thousand words.
At that time, the Internet was just emerging in China, and Li wanted to follow the trend quickly. Three or four days after he started surfing the Internet, he set up a personal website-the "home of graphics cards" forum. For employment, please refer to The Struggle History of Billionaires after 1980s. At that time, there were hundreds of websites of the same type, and Li wanted to make up his mind to make the "home of graphics cards" much better than others. At that time, he got up at four o'clock every morning, spent six to seven hours updating the content of the website, and spent the rest of his time studying. He attracts netizens by updating the content every day, and then makes the website visit soar by word of mouth. At first, he didn't want to make money, but with the increasing number of visitors to the website, advertisers took the initiative to find you. As a result, I earned 65,438+10,000 in my senior year.
In 2000, the Internet bubble burst. /kloc-at the age of 0/9, he decided to give up the college entrance examination and start a business. He persuaded his parents to accept his choice with his experience of making money in class in senior three.
Your own success can be replicated.
From the beginning, Li Xiang didn't expect to go it alone. Every time is the most critical time, there will always be the right people to join the entrepreneurial team. Before the Spring Festival in 2000, Li wanted to persuade those who went to work in Shenzhen after graduating from college to return to Shijiazhuang, put their websites together and set up bubble net.
With the increasing scale of the company, in 2004, some people planned to invest nearly 654.38 billion yuan to acquire bubble net. For Li Lai, selling the company means that at the age of 23, he and several entrepreneurs may get tens of millions of cash. However, he finally didn't want to sell it. "When I found out that I was not selling the website, but the whole team, my heart was particularly painful. I really can't bear it. " He found that what he really wanted was not money, but to make his career bigger and create greater wealth with this team.
Today, the post-80s Li wants to lead the post-80s employees. "The post-80 s children can also take responsibility and become industry elites." He said, "They grew up bit by bit. From the beginning, their playful attitude gradually became very responsible, and then they became the leaders of the company, bringing out a group of new young people. These post-80s children may just be ordinary college graduates when they first came, but in a few years, they may become the elite in this industry. He will be more responsible than others and take everything as his own responsibility. "
Li thinks his success can be replicated. He said, "In fact, I only focused on one field and worked for 10 years. I think anyone who can persist in doing 65,438+00 years in one field can actually make some achievements. "
Speaking of the future, he believes that for himself, the first is to realize his own value, and the second is to be responsible for himself and the team around him. He said: "I feel lucky to live in such a fast-developing and open era, do what I like every day, and then meet challenges, solve difficulties and create value with my favorite team."
