thousands of elite success is the common goal, but success is a process,5 fingers vibram, what point in the process of marking the true done It is difficult to judge. The entrepreneurial experience to Charles Zhang, the current state of development is indeed a high peak. During the interview, Zhang also clearly told reporters that the current situation is the best period Sohu.

Tsinghua University, which he obtain the direct driving force, but also his scholarship obtain the direct driving force Lee.

from Xi'an to Beijing, from Beijing to the United States, home of drifting away, the ideal is coming. Life transition and change has become a symbol. Today, the Charles Zhang, is the ideal result of changes. In 1993, Massachusetts Institute of Technology physics postdoctoral study after a few months, Zhang felt a sudden school physics for many years and is not suitable. and China-related business activities, he is very lucky to have gained at MIT, a liaison officer in China's role in Asia-Pacific region, this role have the opportunity to frequently return to Zhang.

1995 年 7 months, Zhang suddenly had a strong home business idea, the United States can be seen everywhere in the He clearly recognized that the Internet is extremely impressive economic and social value of the business, so make up the entrepreneurial determination. When he saw the Internet's opportunities, feel should be the start time. Zhang linked to the ISI company, wants to ChinaOnline (China Online), with the Internet to collect and publish economic information in China for the Chinese people in the United States who are interested in China or service. Charles Zhang, president of ISI, and the idea was similar, the two hit it off, then finance $ 1,000,000, Zhang companies in late 1995 by ISI as chief representative in China, began to use Internet in China to collect and publish economic information services for Wall Street.

experience in the ISI, according to Zhang that China's Internet market has great potential. Early January 1997, ITC launched the official website, but to the end of the year for the first time to finance the $ 185,000 was nothing left, not even coming out of wages is not the point of opening. Forced, Zhang sent to his investors emergency help, the three investors once again provides Zhang 10 million in February 1998, Zhang officially launched the first full Chinese online search engine - Sohu (S0HU). March 1998, Zhang received the two companies Intel and other investments $ 2,100,000, his career began flourishing, September 1998, the Shanghai branch in Sohu, Sohu established in June 1999, Guangzhou Branch. Sohu in 2000, successfully listed on NASDAQ, acquired China's largest youth community website Chinaren, the scale of the development of online communities to add new content portal, making it China's largest portal, has laid a large-scale business quickly took basis.

Zhang is not time to conduct a series of generous actions, so that Sohu appear in more places. He promptly determine the enormous benefits of the Internet message, and try to put it as a closely integrated with the Internet industry to operate. 2001 cost of millions of achievements Spring and summer of 2003, sohu once again brought to the network boundary surprise: sohu mountaineers climbing Mount Everest. The Internet is full recovery in time Sars outbreak in humans, he wanted to prove sohu courage, and declared sohu ideal.

2002 年 7 17, Sohu first to break the deadlock in the Internet in China to realize a profit. In the face of competition from Sina and Netease, Sohu's profit mode selected, Zhang eight or nine hours per day, weekends. Sometimes the weekend activities, but also related with the company. In 2003, the Sohu news of success, February 25 launch of Sohu South Korea game, China's top fifty in the IT tycoons Zhang also ranked the top three ... ...

One is the ability of advertising sales team competition in the non-advertising, and Sina is basically no competition, because in these areas is not the rival Sina. battle of annihilation. Zhang

behind cutting-edge in the third

2001, April, Sohu shares fell below a dollar first. No one was optimistic about the Sohu again, the media and individual website as Sohu and Zhang questioned like a bullet hit the face of Sohu, Sohu as one dollar a risk to be delisted from Nasdaq. Zhang said: . Zhang himself is in this predicament his temper. Charles Zhang is now frankly admit that one time, in fact unworthy of Sohu's products public. 1999 to 2001, the climax of the Chinese Internet market, the Sohu brand in fact the old mark time. With Zhang's own words, it was a long march. No team, management is struggling with a man Zhang. The Board is also a problem. Zhang described his situation at that time, the 30% of the effort to cope with the Board, 40% of the effort to cope with the media, and only another 30% of the energy used in the products. Zhang in the most difficult situations, vigorously brand management, maintaining the landscape on the surface of Sohu, Sohu to make a continuous sound. 2001 to 2004, Zhang is known as

Zhang himself out of the woods and continue the rapid development of the reasons attributed to the Sohu company themselves and have a strong ability to reflect. It is this ability to reflect, in the early failure of the team soon found himself there from the board to management Quite some achievement in brand marketing conditions, they review their longer than marketing, product defects is not good enough. This poignant reflection, with Zhang's words, is Everyone has their own unique growth experience, which will inevitably lead to understanding the bias, and only continue to adjust themselves with their own eyes with a third of all awe, fear, to cross his personality disorder, to Rain or shine, to ease and. Zhang told reporters that under the surface of the publicity, he is actually very cautious, pragmatic, he did not believe any of the mainstream market, say, only staring at his feet, over the grass with the general test, practitioners, of the.

Once upon a time, the media hype is also well-known sites of domestic all-powerful CEO of five grand gathering of the West Lake. They eat crabs, about Jin Yong's martial arts, emotional repeat itself high spirit. Now, the five CE0, the Wang Juntao change course, Wang Zhidong farewell Sina, Ding passed their prime, Ma wandering rivers and lakes, it is a sorry and sad his life. The first It now appears that where there is a necessity.

and vibrant commercial activity in the opposite image of the publicity, the real nature of Charles Zhang is silent. Zhang himself explained: : This just in entertainment. my greatest feature of character is: a ruthless pursuit of truth to the point. either to themselves or others. can not stand the slightest bit true. I asked whether their own or others, to be honest, do not speak lies. Some people say certain words, it may he did not tell lies, but his words hidden behind some psychological, some kind of mental state when he was in trouble, I can not stand, will give He stripped out. the pursuit of real people's concern stems from, the inner world of human concern and with the physics related. physics always explore the root causes of things, on what is happening in the world have to find out. Western culture is basically the spiritual core cast Zhang. His silence, pragmatic, slow and long-lasting, profound accumulation, derived from Xi'an traditional culture; his cutting-edge, avant-garde, fashion, derived from Tsinghua University and the United States. Have had a similar experience are actually a lot, but can combine two contradictory cultural well exercised freely, will have its own control, such as rational instincts in general, in this regard, Zhang does have extraordinary abilities. It is full of these cultural advantages for the cause of Sohu, Charles Zhang has created a miracle, at least on behalf of people of this generation is so.

the greatest contribution to the network: a new concept of communication

The Internet is a high-risk industries, even in better condition in the Sohu company, the media, also known as Zhang was on wheel The amazing thing is, Charles Zhang for his career has a very strong confidence. In most crises, Zhang never lost confidence, he is convinced that his network is not in the bubble.

Zhang's confidence comes from his deep understanding of the network. Long-term perspective, as an outstanding young returnees, Zhang brought to the country is more important than wealth itself, but the concept of culture. Most people do not understand in the domestic network, when, according to Zhang for its cutting-edge way to the extreme, the Internet culture, Internet and advanced mode of operation, a large number of people introduced to.

talking about contributions, Zhang thought for a moment and carefully consider their own list of valuable aspects. First, tell people the network is not free. At that time, no website, a database on every charge. Now all sites are free. Second is to promote the concept of venture capital, and the actual use of Sohu's success in this example to illustrate it. There are also a number of risks after the introduction of investment, but more formal way of Sohu, but also very successful, so deeply rooted the concept of investment risk. Another way of doing the website, Sohu start off site when a brand to do; and theory, philosophy brought to the Chinese network development, At the same time how to build a new corporate culture, the creation of new management methods, the company also provided valuable in China's Internet experience. Moreover, to Charles Zhang, represented a successful entrepreneur, a young Chinese entrepreneurs set up a rich image of the younger generation, which will have a significant impact in a given period.
