1. The sales of "Digital Survival" are very popular. Almost everyone has a copy. I finally know that the future world is a digital world - it doesn't matter what the forum talks about, what matters is that Negroponte became the godfather of digitalization.

2. It has been two months since Aitexin was established. There are only three people and there is no power to do this. I invited Negroponte over to introduce the translation of his thoughts to the audience and tell everyone what they meant. But we at Aitexin were just minors at the conference, and no one took us seriously.

3. The Internet not only shows the achievements of the Internet, but also shows various industries how an emerging industry can develop from zero to huge scale - relying entirely on the power of the market and relying on The power of entrepreneurship depends on the power of capital to grow without the direct support of ***.

4. Sogou’s “Beauty and the Beast Mountaineering Team” is not only a charity event, a public welfare activity, but also a very interesting Sohu marketing event.

The equity structure is not suitable for founders to make correct and long-term decisions freely. Strategic decisions. It is also related to the founder's ability to grasp and understand the business model generated by the new technology of the Internet.

9. The whole feeling is like the gathering of heroes described in "Water Margin". At that time, all living beings were wandering in front of the Internet, because the Internet industry was still centered on information, but The only private companies are Yinghaiwei and a few other companies.

10. The originator of China’s Internet brand marketing was actually Zhang Shuxin at that time. Zhang Shuxin was particularly good at setting off media waves. I learned a lot from her. At that time, I registered for AiteXin and raised some capital. Negroponte gave me 20,000 US dollars. He said that he would go to China to have a look. After seeing it, he would consider whether to add more money based on the situation. , which means that China at that time was already very attractive to Negroponte.

11. I am particularly difficult to understand. I definitely know more women than men and I understand women better.

12. The portal was originally one, but later it became a place of residence. This is the pity of the Chinese portal. It is completely different from Yahoo and so on. This is Chinese characteristics.

They originally wanted to explore this continent, but later found that it was too difficult to go inland, so they simply built a city at a coastal port and became a gateway.

The Internet is for everyone to enjoy, starting from one place. Click to go to any place and enjoy the same platform all over the world. The launch of Sohu means that you don't go to Sohu to read content, but to go to various places from Sohu to enjoy all kinds of things on the Internet.

16. We couldn’t call it “Tiger”, because it would be too much like Yahoo. Later, we simply called it Sohu. In this way, choosing an auspicious day, Sohu finally launched it in February 1998.

18. The errors in Yinghaiwei’s business model and their lack of understanding of technology caused them to fail to grasp the essence of the Internet. The nature of the Internet is open and shared, and each organization only plays a part in the industry chain.

20. When the car almost reached Tiananmen Square, he turned around and said, "I owe you some money." What money did I say I owed? I thought he was going to receive services for this visit to China. Pay me. However, Negroponte then said that he would invest more.

21. I am a veteran of the Internet. I must remain vigilant at all times - after too long, will I continue to maintain the same status as Sohu because of its long history and ease of life? A period of curiosity that leads you to see something forward-looking.

Once there was a problem with the server, I would I almost kicked the server, and immediately called Su Minyang to scold him. Su Minyang was scolded by me all day long.

25. If there was a problem with the Sohu website, I would go to China Telecom in Xidan all night to fiddle with the server. I would stay up all night to do this because I am a commercial company and cannot make mistakes. , but many information center websites will not care about these things.

26. The Internet has greatly improved the collective IQ of the Chinese people. A person can be very stupid. If there is a room full of people talking and shouting all day long, he will eventually form some very different common sense. The level of this common sense is determined by the collective IQ of the people in the room. reflect.
