如果一个公司的成立是为了开发一个产品,多半是不成的。很多这样的公司,即使成功了上市了,也会因为市值太小而被大公司买去吃掉。更何况,这种公司根本做不大。做不大,就没有人帮衬你。没有人,光杆司令一个CEO,CTO,CMO,President,Chairman of Borad,您的名片都不够写您的伟大title。但是您也就是每天欣赏您的伟大名片而已。
回复 '老虎上山' 的评论 : 谢谢。道听起来深奥,其实就是“how the world works"的简称。科学商业圣经和佛教都有道的内涵,都是相通的。中国热被皇帝用儒家鸡汤洗脑,已经糊涂了。庄子说“宇宙在存在以前,宇宙就存在”。孔伋(孔子孙子)的中庸说“不该做的事情,不要去做(无为)”。佛教讲究轮回和karma,都是提醒人们“人不能胜天”。知道什么不应该做,才能决定什么应该做。这是我的理解。
Coming from similar background as yours (I guess), I absolutely agree with you on most points and appreciate your candor that has become so rare these days of “PC vs. Non-PC” :)
Looking forward to reading your sequel!

回复 'xyz66' 的评论 : Thanks for your information. I did not know 谢青 story before. Facts are not sad. I am listing facts, which commonly is perceived as sadness. 谢青,李革 would all agree. Good entrepreneurs start despite knowing all these, and they succeed because they know these. If one doesn't know the fact, then it is sad. Google founders both come from very rich Jewish families. 朱敏,袁征 all tried very hard to start business even in China. They all struggled as business man and then came to USA. They were not ordinary 留学生. 李革 seems from Wen Zhou, rich in business culture. Ken Xie 谢青at least went to Stanford and worked in silicon valley, the best place for anyone to start anything. If you want to succeed, then you need to have scar. Life is sad, as we will all die, but we all still live it bravely.
By the way, I did everything, stupidly. That is why I even have some thing to share.
All success start from stupid failures. As Chinse say, the only true mother of success is failure. Don't be afraid to fail. Only stupid people learn. That is why Steve Jobs say at Stanford commencement "Stay hungry, stay foolish. True entrepreneurs know the risks I am listing and they take it. False entrepreneurs don't know the risks and they can dream of getting lucky.
其实在美国创业条条大路通罗马,并非只有依靠“老钱”/“家里有矿”才能成功。当初Google初创时,Larry and Sergey 连Business Plan 是啥都不知道!他俩的家里也是普通中产阶级。从大陆来的华人创业佼佼者,朱敏,袁征,谢青,李革等,都是留学生背景,口袋里没有几毛钱来到美国艰苦奋斗的。
