In the past four and a half years, Xu Dandan has jumped jobs three times, from an Internet company employee with an annual salary of 100,000 to a fund company analyst with an annual salary of nearly several million. Xu Dandan’s victory is almost impossible to replicate. of. A man like him who was once destitute might have greater ability to achieve everything.
Xu Dandan’s story is very suitable to be written as a struggle legend. Born in Anhui in 1983, a boy from a rural area in Anhui Province changed jobs three times after graduating from graduate school five years ago. From an Internet company employee with an annual salary of 100,000 yuan to an Internet analyst with an annual salary of several million yuan. In December 2011, he left China Fund, where he had worked for 2 years, to join an American hedge fund. On the last day of the year, he boarded a plane to the United States. As the only Chinese employee of an American hedge fund, he brought insights about the entire China Analysis of investment opportunities.
Xu Shandan summarized his own successful lessons - from being very introverted and self-defeating to forcing himself not to be introverted; by unintentionally forcing himself to control his governance ability; by forcing himself to engage in more social interactions through the people he met on the plane , and then continue to meet and collect useful people. He said that another reason why he could have what he has today is: "No one is more rugged than me."
"I went to elementary school at the age of 5. Elementary school is a 5-year system. I have always been in the class in elementary school. First place. I was very playful in junior high school, and I didn’t study well throughout junior high school. I felt that there were many people in the class who were better than you and would never get the first place in the exam. When I was 13 years old, my father fell ill. After he passed away, he started playing billiards. He was short and small, and 13 was really too young. His family was relatively poor and had no financial resources, so most of them couldn't go out to work. They all went out to work. My mother said, let’s go back to school for a year and grow up before going out to work. When I was 14 years old, I fell in love with a girl and played every day. One month before the high school entrance examination, I fell in love with the girl. We broke up after arguing over trivial matters, and then I started studying for a month.
There are three high schools in our county. I applied for the third-best high school, and I didn't apply for the exam. Unexpectedly, I got the first place in the exam in the first semester. I felt so lucky because I was ranked 20th when I entered high school. I got the first place twice in a row, and then I felt that it was not accidental, and I suddenly felt pressure. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I couldn't get the first place in the exam next time? So I started to study hard once, and I was afraid that I would not get the first place. I made up an excuse to the teacher and said I couldn't take the exam because I had something to do. The class teacher didn't agree, so I got first place in the exam.
In my hometown, there are very few people who go to high school. Only two people in the village go to high school, and there is an unwritten custom when it comes to college entrance examinations - the number of repeat students and freshmen is 1:1. My hometown is very isolated, and I only know of three universities in China. , Peking University, Tsinghua University and the University of Science and Technology of China in Anhui, but I will definitely not get into these three, but I must get a notice to go home, so that my parents will be respected. I think my chemistry is better, so I applied to Beijing University of Chemical Technology, especially. Unfortunately, I went to college. At that time, I thought I would definitely not be able to pass the exam, so I signed up for the repeat class. I later found out that I could get into Peking University with a certain score.
I came home with the notice, and the family started to have conflicts. When I was in my second year of high school, my father and I kept arguing. I have two younger brothers and a younger sister. People in rural areas say that sons are a huge burden. In rural areas, we have two brothers. My parents' lifetime money was gone once their son got married. The stepfather asked my mother to go away with him because he asked me how he could afford to raise three sons. My mother said we couldn't leave because the child was still young and he was still studying.
In my second year of high school, I worked as a shooter for someone else, earning 100 yuan a day. At the age of 16, I ran from Anhui to Jiangsu to take the adult college entrance examination for others. After I made money, I went to my grandma’s house in the mountains of Shaanxi. Mom, it was said that I was going to Shaanxi, and my stepfather took my mother away again, so I had to run back to Anhui. My mother couldn't bear it anymore and returned to her home in Anhui.
When I was a freshman in high school, my mother felt that she couldn't afford to raise so many children, so she wanted to give her little brother to someone else to raise. I agreed. Our family couldn't afford to go to school, but we could still go to school if we sent him to a rich family. But the family members didn’t approve and scolded my mother for selling the family members to takeaways. I felt it was a bit like a movie. I would suddenly break down and say, ‘Stop arguing, shut up! ’ Then I gave my brother away to someone else, and took him back three months later. It was true that he was reluctant to let go before he was tried, so it must be difficult.
My mother promised my stepfather that when I finished high school and could cook for my younger siblings, she would leave with him. They assumed that I wouldn't be able to get into college. I took the notice home and my aunt and uncle came to my house to celebrate. But my stepfather was very angry. He took a white bowl and poured a large bowl of liquor into it, drank it in one gulp, threw the bowl and left. I was very sad at the time. I ranked fifth out of 1,500 people in the school, which I thought was pretty good. Others got admitted to junior college and asked for songs on TV, but I got a 211. I was so sad that I cried without eating and stayed away from home throughout the summer vacation. The stepfather and mother quarreled: 'Look, he is going to college and has to leave. There is no one to cook for the child. You have to stay here again and can't leave. ’ After breaking his plan, he ran away from home. My mother had no choice but to take her sister with him. I didn't come back until I started school. I'm very sad.
When I was in the third year of junior high school, before my father passed away, he left me several thousand yuan to go to college. Before he died, he planted a lot of peach trees. The peach trees bear fruit every three years. I sold the peaches and made some money to raise some cows. The cows gave birth to calves every three years and they gave birth to calves. The calves grew up. , sold some money to collect my tuition fees. My mother didn't come back before I left. My aunt gave me an old box used by her daughter, and I went to the market and bought a pair of shoes for 39 yuan. It was 2000, the younger brother was only 11 years old, and the older brother was 15 years old. What would they do if I left. I entrusted the neighbor's uncle to make dough for my two younger brothers every two days and let them steam steamed buns to eat. The two younger brothers were not very sensible and watched me leave. I asked them not to fight. They couldn't say a word or say, "Brother, be careful." They just stood there blankly. I felt particularly tragic at the time. A person who had never left the county town was going to Beijing alone, with no family to send him. When I walked to the corner, I burst into tears. How could I be like this? I hated my mother very much at that time.
I stayed in Beijing for a month before calling home. My mother felt very guilty about me. I was unhappy during the entire four years of college. I thought I would never go back in my life. I went home during the Spring Festival of the first year, but I only went out of my room to use the bathroom and eat. The rest of the time, I spent the rest of the time reciting English crazily in the house. My stepfather still had a conflict with me, so he went back to his hometown, and my mother also Go with him. I was also very sad. I bought a box of instant noodles and restricted my brother to only eat one pack of instant noodles every day. I was still alive, so I was diligent enough to make dumplings. At that time, I thought how lucky I was. I won’t go back during the summer vacation. I took the train on New Year’s Eve, arrived home on the afternoon of New Year’s Eve, had a New Year’s Eve dinner, slept in the next day, had lunch and left. That's right. My mother wanted to see me off, but I ignored her. It was snowing very heavily, and she wanted to hold an umbrella for me, but I deliberately avoided her and refused to let her hold an umbrella for me. I walked forward without looking back and started crying after I passed the corner. "
When Xu Dandan was studying at the University of Chemical Technology with a grudge against his family, there was another thing that bothered him - that school was too small!
The start of his sophomore year On his first weekend, he walked along the North Third Ring Road to Tsinghua University and Peking University. Those two most famous schools in the country always attracted him. On the Tsinghua campus, he saw signs for school activities on both sides of the road. , there were many lectures by celebrities, and he was no longer happy to study at the University of Chemical Technology, so he began to review high school textbooks and wanted to re-enter the university. He studied until two or three in the middle of the night, and then went back to the dormitory to live in the dormitory. He intervened by name, saying that you would have a bad influence on everyone, but he was determined and ran back to his hometown to register for the college entrance examination. Xu Dandan hung around the registration office for two days, but in the end he did not dare to go in. He was afraid that people would find out that he had already passed the exam. College.
At that time, only one or two students in his county were admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University every year. He was worried that if he was admitted, he would be followed and reported by the local media, and then the secret would be exposed. He still didn't have the courage to walk into the registration office until registration closed.
Since he could not take the college entrance examination again, Xu Dandan decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination at Peking University and Tsinghua University. He weighed it up and found that computers at Tsinghua University were a popular major at that time, but he instinctively hated programming. Part of this stemmed from his inferiority complex from a rural area, and he felt that he could not compete with urban kids who grew up playing with computers. Just in 2003, the Prime Minister of India visited China. Xu Dandan discovered that India is a country with developed software. Although he was opposed to programming, he was willing to do software-related business, such as marketing and management, so he applied for a graduate degree in Indian language and literature at Peking University. .
“I have been an introvert throughout college. After I came back from my hometown, I concentrated on taking the postgraduate entrance examination. But during the Spring Festival of my junior year, I went back to Anhui and found that someone had taken a copy of Chen Wenden’s mathematics postgraduate entrance examination book. , there was none on the market, so I decided on a whim that I would sell this book. I quickly called the publisher and asked me how much discount I could get for this book. The publisher said that I would be given a 6.1% discount and the price would be 7.1%. The discount was 49 yuan a book, and I earned 4.9 yuan. I knocked on the dormitory doors one by one with a few books in my hand, and hesitated at the door for half an hour before I entered. Most of the people in the first dormitory bought them. I was so convincing. Although they were in the same grade, I made a lot of preparations, telling them what books they must use and what classes they must take. Then I visited the dormitories one by one and earned 4,000 yuan in a week.
That was the first time I forced myself to go out to talk, the first time I broke through, and found that I was actually OK. After that, when I walked in the school, others greeted me. It was a change, but I was still embarrassed to change. I was embarrassed to even change my hairstyle. I realized that it is not easy for introverts to succeed, but it is easy for extroverts to succeed.
But I used to be too arrogant, very poor, and I didn’t even have a stepfather. I had no money to buy clothes, I wore my cousin’s clothes, and I couldn’t afford food. I had no money to pay tuition in high school, and I was ranked first. Each of my classmates donated two yuan to me. Every year, my class teacher took me to the principal’s house. Please forgive me for half of my tuition. At that time, I ate apples every day, which cost a pound a pound, and I ate 5 apples at noon. When I got to university, I was even more complacent. Everyone was in the city, but I could only do it. I especially save money and eat two steamed buns at a meal. Now my younger brother is taller than me. I suspect that he was overdrawn in the past and is not in good shape now.
After I was admitted to Peking University, no one knew him. Me, I decided to pretend to be an open-minded person. I dyed my hair brown, put on gangster clothes, pretended to be a street gangster, and greeted everyone. Everyone felt that my whole person had changed. I am a super outgoing person. I constantly find that I can still be a big brother, and everyone calls me Brother Shan.
When I was a graduate student, I was the most popular Internet celebrity on the Peking University BBS. I still don’t know the reason. My online name is XDD. As soon as I say a word, countless people ask, ‘What is the little brother doing?’, so I changed my online name to ‘XDD (I’m not the little brother)’ , maybe because of the sense of distance on the Internet, everyone can make fun of my online name and feel that this person is very friendly, and I have become the most popular person on BBS. When I am about to graduate, I will hold a graduation party. I thought it was my job to organize a meeting, so I invited a few other popular people on the BBS to join me. Many girls came just to see what XDD looked like: There is someone in our dormitory who can’t come for the exam. Let me take a picture of you. I took the photos back.
I felt that everything was connected. This was the starting point. Later, I started organizing various activities at Peking University and organizing a gathering of 150 Peking University graduates in Shenzhen. We got together many times after graduation. We had dinners, we looked for venues, we organized for half a year, and we were all just having fun. I was skateboarding, learning guitar, and doing whatever was trendy. ”
In this way, Xu Dandan became a different person.
After being admitted to Peking University, Xu Dandan found that he had made a mistake. He had to take one year of Tagore literature, but he studied this Professionalism is for making money and doing business.
So he tried his best to take classes and complete all the credits in the first year, and then started looking for part-time jobs in the second year.
He went to several companies for internships. The first one was a tobacco company working in human resources. He stayed in Guangxi for half a year and lied to the company that he was an MBA. Then came Datang Mobile, and then Lenovo's Human Resources Department recruitment team, which was responsible for organizing campus recruitment. After working as an intern at Lenovo for one month, Xu Dandan left because their major had the opportunity to study in India and would give international students a scholarship of 4,000 yuan every month. But just before leaving, he accidentally started a business, and then told his mentor, I'm sorry, I won't go to India.
There are many campus agents on the Peking University BBS. Xu Dandan cooperated with a birthday cake shop and represented birthday cakes. Through this business, he can earn several hundred yuan every month. Later, many people asked whether they could also send flowers, razors, and greeting cards when sending cakes. People wanted more and more things, so Xu Dandan started a campus discount website and even sold sports shoes. He also negotiated with restaurants, barber shops, KTVs, and postgraduate entrance exam classes around the school to create a joint membership card, which would provide discounts on spending at those places. He recruited the ministers and chairs of the external relations departments of various schools to do this. At the most, the company had 70 employees. He said that in fact, that was the current group buying. If he had not given up, he might have been the founder of group buying.
While running the company, Xu Dandan also did another thing. In February 2006, he approached Sister Furong, who was very popular at the time, and hoped that she could become the spokesperson of the company. After meeting Sister Furong, he felt that she was different from the perverse image in everyone's mind. She was secretly a very shy person, quite beautiful, and very kind. Xu Dandan observed that Sister Furong was the protagonist in many TV shows, but the appearance fee she received was minimal, so he decided to give her a push. He became Sister Furong's assistant, doing some business talks for her, accepting media interviews, and signing endorsement contracts.
Xu Dandan’s tutor is from an academic school and feels that commercial actions are detrimental to campus culture. The instructor said that you can either open a company and close it, or you can close the company and write a thesis for three months. Xu Shanshuang felt miserable, gave up the company, and chose the thesis. He found a partner and gave him 30 shares to take over. But after this incident, Xu Dandan's addiction to doing business has been aroused. Later, when Tencent went to Peking University to apply for a job, he wrote a one-page business plan, hoping that Tencent could cooperate with him. The manager of Tencent's product department thought that he was quite strategic. After seeing him, he recommended him to work in the strategy department of Tencent headquarters in Shenzhen.
“When I set out to work at Tencent in Shenzhen, I checked everything else in at the airport, but there was a box of books that were very expensive. I was reluctant to check them in, so I held my guitar in my left hand and my skateboard in my right hand. Roller skates, and carrying the box of books. When I got on the plane, each person could only bring 3 bags. Mine was more than that, so I asked the older brother behind who was only carrying a small bag if he could help me carry a book case. People are the first person to change my trajectory.
Because we took a very late flight and there was no one around, so I sat next to the older brother and chatted with him in order to thank him. He looked very young, less than 30 years old, but he was actually over 40, and his children were in junior high school. I happened to read a lot of philosophy books at that time, and I discussed with him some philosophical questions that I was thinking about, such as "living". "For what?" and "What is happiness?" I also told him what kind of person I wanted to be. This older brother had made some achievements in Shenzhen and thought that I was quite interesting. He had some experiences and told me, When you get to Shenzhen, stop playing skateboards and playing guitar. Go play golf. I suddenly felt that I couldn't play around anymore. I said that I should work hard and stop organizing alumni association activities. He said that wouldn't work. These are assets that others don’t have.
When I arrived in Shenzhen, Tencent closed the training for 15 days. 120 people were divided into 4 classes, which easily increased people’s emotions. I rented a house with two colleagues. We have always been best friends. It’s hard to have good friends after work. We rented together for a year and a half.
The two of them are still working at Tencent in Shenzhen. One of them, his father is the mayor of the provincial capital city, and his mother is the CFO of a listed company. His school is not very good. He is just a junior college student. When he enters Tencent, it is the first time he has graduated from the school. The most decent job a student has ever found. He has been working at Tencent with great sincerity. As soon as I joined another Peking University employee, I started discussing plans to change jobs in two years. When this friend heard about it, he was very angry, "Tencent has been so good to us, but you actually want to If you want to change jobs, we are born as Tencent people and die as Tencent ghosts. You are bad people and we must draw a clear line with you.' We thought this kid was really funny. Because he was grateful, he picked up other people's work after finishing his own work. He slept in the office two or three days a week, and his salary increased quickly. He graduated with an undergraduate degree and his annual salary was 70,000 yuan, and I was a graduate student with an annual salary of 100,000 yuan. Half a year later, he raised his salary and met me, but I didn't; after a while, he raised his salary again, but I still hadn't. ”
“I devote a lot of time to the Peking University Alumni Association. The first 150 of us who went to Shenzhen, as well as the senior brothers and sisters from the fifth and sixth years above, formed the youth branch of the Peking University Alumni Association. I served as the president. I am aware of almost all these alumni and organized many activities. Later, we merged with the official alumni of Peking University and merged into one. I served as deputy secretary-general. I was the youngest. The other deputy secretaries-general were almost all chairman of the company. Sitting next to them, I was like a child.
There is a senior fellow student who is the second noble person in my life. He was once the youngest fund manager in China and retired when he was 28 or 29 years old. This senior brother became a very good friend of mine and my idol. No matter how late he worked overtime the day before, as long as he asked me to come out for morning tea, I would go. I met many of his friends with him, all of whom are relatively high-level people.
One time he asked me to join an event. When I went there, I found out it was the 'Millionaire Yacht Club'. The idol brother, his wife, and another couple of his friends were sitting with me. Together, the senior brother’s friends have been telling the senior brother that a villa near his home is good, and the yard is twice as big as his own. The yard of his house is already more than 900 square meters, and he asked the senior brother to buy it quickly; the two wives Discuss the quarrel between 7 or 8 servants in someone else's house. I was shocked that people could live like this. I felt that I could earn more money by investing, so I decided to enter the financial industry.
I didn’t ask my idol brother to help me when I was looking for a job, because I felt that a person could only ask him once in his life, and I had to deal with finding a job by myself.
I started to submit a large number of resumes. I submitted more than 300 resumes in 3 months, and only got 3 responses for interviews. One was from a hedge fund in Shanghai, and at the same time, a senior fellow was at 51 in Shanghai. .com is an executive, and he said I could be his assistant. I bought a plane ticket and went to Shanghai for an interview. The person who interviewed me at the hedge fund said that I wasn't smart enough, probably because I didn't get all the math questions right. I was very frustrated, so I went to interview with 51.com again and made an offer on the spot. However, I still wanted to enter the financial industry. After the interview, I ran to Lujiazui, stood opposite Yaohan, and looked at the high-rise building of Lin Po’s financial institution next to me. I think this world no longer belongs to me. After returning to Shenzhen, I continued to submit my resume, and Ping An Securities sent me an invitation for an oral interview. The result of the interview was that my accounting skills were not good enough and I had no financial background. I have been communicating with the department manager who interviewed me via email, which shows that my learning ability is extremely strong. Maybe it left a good impression on the department manager. Some managers also competed for an opportunity with the general manager: study accounting for three months before coming back for an interview.
I reviewed like crazy. I was very anxious at the time and couldn't sleep all night, wondering if 51 should be scrapped. com opportunity, because it is not easy for my senior brother to help me, I feel embarrassed to refuse. At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night on the day I joined the company, I gave up. I didn't go. The next day, I sent an email to my senior brother, saying that I still wanted to enter the financial industry.
Then prepare fully for accounting. I did well in the exam and the department manager passed, but the human resources department blocked me because they still felt that my professional background was not enough, and I was very depressed.
One day while having dinner with my idol brother and his friends, a friend asked me, ‘What have Shan Shan been doing recently? ’ I said I was looking for a job, but I was stuck by Enron Securities. The friend said he knew an executive from Ping An and said hello to me, and he got in easily. I finally entered the financial industry I wanted to enter. ”
Because of his previous professional experience, Xu Dandan decided to study the Internet. At that time, the Internet had not yet entered the Chinese stock market, and most analysts were studying the media industry, so as the lowest employee, Xu Dandan sat for a while. After being on the bench for half a year, the company just kept him for nothing, but there was no bonus, and his income was still not much higher than that of Tencent. But an opportunity allowed him, a small soldier, to get to know the chairman.
Yes. One day, the chairman asked the manager of Xu Dandan's department to find someone to go to his office to help make PPT for reports. Because Xu Dandan often made PPT when he was in Tencent's strategy department, the manager sent him to stay with the chairman all night. While doing PPT in the office, I chatted with the chairman and talked about how he worked as an assistant to Sister Furong at school. Later, he mentioned that he was the deputy secretary-general of the Peking University Shenzhen Alumni Association. The chairman said that his wife was also from Peking University and he could let her. Participate in alumni association activities.
A few days later, the chairman asked Xu Dandan to come to the office and told him that your senior sister asked you to come to your house for dinner. He met the chairman.
He found that the chairman was very busy at work and asked his secretary to buy soy milk and fried dough sticks for 1 yuan from the roadside every morning, and Xu Dandan often had no time for lunch. He said that there was a time-honored restaurant downstairs, and the breakfast was pretty good. When he was queuing up every morning, he also brought a breakfast for the chairman for two months, even though he always gave it to him. The secretary of the chairman was handed over by the secretary, but there were also many rumors in the company that he was a relative of the chairman's family.
He was not afraid of this and treated the chairman as a friend. I would often tell him about some miscellaneous public opinions in the company. Later, when someone wanted to ask the chairman for advice, he would be asked to show up, "Xu Dandan, can you tell the chairman?" , during the financial crisis, he actually escaped a layoff. As a rookie, he was definitely going to be laid off.
In September 2009, he fell ill after graduation. For more than two years, he has been in a crazy social situation, nominally meeting many people, but in fact he has few close friends. He recalled the scene at that time: he was about to enter the operating room in the afternoon. He didn't even know who to ask to deliver food to him, so he could only call his ex-girlfriend and ask her to come and stay with him. A month later, he was discharged from the hospital. His life had undergone quite a drastic change, and he had changed from a social madman to a social man. A completely unsocial person, he refused all meals, immersed himself in research, and wrote several representative articles.
He escaped layoffs and illness, and good things came faster than Xu Dandan expected. . Because of the financial crisis, the entire world's real economy was in a downturn, but the virtual economy was on the rise, and the Internet suddenly became popular at that time. He originally expected to be on the bench for three years, but he spent one and a half years on the bench. . () With the investment needs of the Internet, investors cannot find anyone who can do Internet analysis. There are no more than three people in the market, and he is one of them. Because of the basic network he had established previously, once someone asks about an analyst doing Internet investment, a friend will recommend him, and Xu Dandan is pretty good.
"I never dreamed that people from the top companies in the securities and fund industries would come to me. I was flattered. People from third-rate securities companies were about to be laid off. The economic crisis had not yet passed. , there were so many opportunities. Because I was in a seller’s market at the time, I often organized people from fund companies to conduct research. When I was on the plane from Guangzhou to Hangzhou, the fund manager of China Asset Management was sitting next to me. Before the plane took off, I received a call. He made a phone call to ask me to talk about my old job when I returned to Guangzhou. After hanging up the phone, the fund manager of China Asset Management asked me, do you want to change jobs? I said yes, you should talk to me first. Well, see if you can come over.
I originally wanted to go to CICC. The salary at CICC is much higher than that at China Asset Management. I faced a decision. This is career thinking: if you want to be an analyst at a securities company, firstly, you need to do 50% research. , the second is to provide 50% marketing services, which will bring higher income. I think the value in the future does not lie in receiving millions more in salary, but in producing valuable research results. The 50 RMB service only increased my income but did not bring me future core competitiveness. I rejected the high salary and chose the low-wage China Fund. ”
His idol brother had some disagreements with him on this matter. The brother was worried that when you go to a securities firm, you can keep giving speeches and amplify your voice so that enough people can hear it. But in the fund company, the voice cannot be heard.
Thanks to another good fortune, the emergence of Weibo allowed Xu Dandan to find a way to express his voice very actively on Weibo. The comments related to the Internet are sharp in tone and also cleverly demonstrate his contacts with the investment elite. In this way, his social scope has been expanded in a breakthrough way, and he has gained enough attention that every tweet. Many people forwarded and replied to Bo. He broke the habit of silence among buy-side researchers. In the eyes of his peers, he became a completely alternative fund company researcher, and in the eyes of more people, he was a star among analysts.
From China Asset Management to American hedge funds, Xu Dandan relied entirely on the influence of Weibo. American funds discovered him on Weibo and made an invitation to him.
Because of Weibo, Many company CEOs paid attention to him, and big bosses kept getting acquainted with him. So he once again played the role of organizing salon gatherings in the industry, and he organized a party for more than 20 people, and finally decided on a coffee shop. The permanent land fee was about to be ended, so Xu Dandan had an idea and said that I would open one myself.
He made a big splash about it. He named the cafe "3W" and invited a large number of people. Major figures from the business and investment circles joined as shareholders, including Shen Nanpeng, Xu Xiaoping, Xue Manzi, Wang Xiao, Ni Zhengdong, Xu Yiran, etc. The snowball grew bigger and bigger, and in the end there were more than 100 shareholders alone.
His collaborator Ma Delong said that Xu Dandan rarely struck up conversations with people when he was in the store, because he knew what kind of people he should know. One day, there were several Internet seniors sitting in the cafe, and they were all serious. Lin Hai, the president of the game, and Zhang William, the chief scientist of Baidu, sat among them, but he managed the situation very well, and his aura was not inferior to that of his predecessors. He clearly understood the purpose of the first stage of this cafe: to build a business. A circle of middle and high-level people in the Internet; subsequent possibilities include 3W’s own investment fund
A friend who worked with Xu Dandan once said that Xu Dandan is the only person he has ever met. A person who knows where his goal is and everything he does is centered around this goal. Xu Dandan said that he has experienced many things in his life that others cannot experience. He has also endured hardships and seen considerable wealth. , so it is no longer a big deal, and he dares.
