This article is also seen occasionally recently. Considering that the original blog publisher may delete it and other reasons, it is also more convenient for individuals to find it, so I specially copied the original text and republished it. "Learning things is for yourself, don't play games with the company all day long, even if you are a fool, I think it would be good if you can gain some other things that are beneficial to the development of your life during the time you are fooling. It depends on how you grasp it." After reading it, I still remember this sentence.
The original text is as follows:
I would like to share with new colleagues my expectations and a few more suggestions. I like to tell the truth, but I don't like to say nice words, because nice words are useless. But to be honest, people may not like to hear it.
First of all, everyone must understand what you want to get from 360.
I think, first of all, you must learn the ability and ability in 360, because you will walk in the rivers and lakes in the future, and if you want to become famous, it will depend on your ability and ability. Most of the people present here are neither the children of high officials nor the second-generation rich, but they are the children of commoners like me. Many are the first generation of immigrants to Beijing, and the only thing they can rely on is their own hands and mind. If you want to succeed, your ability is the most important thing, and everything else is empty. Whether the company is famous, whether there is abalone for lunch, and what title is given to you are all false. Title is the most deceiving thing. If you really want to have a good title, I suggest you go home and start a company yourself. You are the CEO! There may also be people who say that it is important to be happy at work, but in the most difficult times at the company, you are likely not to be happy. Therefore, the most important thing is whether you can learn something in 360 and whether you can exercise your ability. In 360, only capable people can get more resources and a bigger stage.
In other words, 360 is just a door, and now it is open to you, but how far you can go depends on what kind of foot strength you can exercise. Some people may say, I just want to find a place to hang out. In fact, after a company is big, there must be a place to mix, and I can't control everyone. However, I have been in the Internet industry for over a decade and have seen a lot of Losers. They are all too smart to screw themselves up. Everyone must remember that messing around is wasting your time. Think about it, can you still hang out after the age of 35? At that time, there will be more young people who work harder than you, are more capable than you, and have lower requirements than you. If you don't learn something and develop your abilities, they will replace you. Ability cannot be mixed, but learned and exercised. As a result, you only get older in the enterprise, and your ability is not improved, then your life path will become narrower and narrower, and you will lose your best learning opportunities.
Therefore, if you don't like 360, you must change it as soon as possible, find something you like as soon as possible, and find something worth investing in yourself, at least you won't waste your life. If you choose 360, just because of the company's reputation, you want to mix up, and you will suffer. Think about it, no matter how much you can mix with me, how much money can you mix with me? You mess with me for 200,000 a year, and you only mess with me for 1 million in 5 years. This is nothing to me, but you have wasted 5 years of your time here. How much is your 5 years of youth worth? Is it only 1 million?
I say this not only to my new colleagues, but also to many college graduates, and it represents my personal opinion. Even if you don't come to 360 and you go somewhere else, it's worth thinking about this.
If you look around you again, will you also find people who are messing around? Some people mix there, and they can't do without the company, and as a result they lose their competitiveness. You must know that you can't save a person's birth by relying on your own savings and savings. You want to make a fortune in 360, it is possible, the premise is that your ability must reach a certain level.
Some people may ask: Zhou Hongyi is rich, why is he working so hard? I can tell you bluntly that at 360, I am actually working for everyone. I do 360 because it excites me, and doing it can greatly satisfy my sense of accomplishment.
So, what skills and abilities can you learn in 360? Many, such as good direction, experience and execution, leadership, communication skills, the ability to unite others, the ability to market and so on, there are so many abilities that you can learn in 360. You may also say that you can learn from other companies too! I can tell you that in 360, you can master these things and learn these skills in less time and faster than in other companies.
I also hope that you can get the option of 360, it is very simple, it is the rule of our industry. I am not a major shareholder of this company, the investors are major shareholders. The options for all our employees add up to a large percentage as well. We all hope that the company can finally go public, achieve the same scale as Baidu and Tencent, and have a good market value. I also hope that many people can find the first pot of gold, and there is still a chance to solve your money for buying a house in Beijing.
But none of this fell from the sky. You have to work hard and do well in 360, so that you can exercise a lot of your abilities and grow very quickly. In addition to making a fortune, your abilities and abilities can also bring you influence and a good reputation. Now, even if the enemy mentions me, they will say that Zhou Hongyi is very good at making products, and now the client is doing a good job on the Internet. Except for QQ, it is not made by me, or made by my subordinates. But if I don't have anything in my hand, I will blow it here every day, saying that Lao Zhou is the best client in China, and you won't believe it if you kill him.
So, as long as you work hard in 360, I believe that everyone can succeed in one thing. It might be as simple as patching, but when you do it to the extreme, it becomes valuable. And this is the best proof of your worth. Because of your experience, someone may be willing to invest ten million for you.
Don't be eager to start a business after hearing what I have to say. Opportunities to start a business always exist, but success or failure depends on your ability and the right time, place and people. In 360, everyone can also improve their ability to start a business, get to know their own business partners, and get some entrepreneurial resources. Maybe a few years later, when you come to an end in 360, you can really start a business and start your own company. At that time, what you get from 360 is not just the first pot of gold, it will be you The second pot of gold in life. So I think that all our employees, as long as you have the ability, have these experiences, rely on your own hands, brains and ingenuity, you have the opportunity to achieve large or small success.
Success takes time to accumulate. I graduated as a graduate student in 1995, and when I first came to Beijing, I had nothing and nothing. Before I arrived at Fangzheng, I actually started a business, but it was not successful. So I come to an experience: it is easy to build a company, but it is difficult to build a successful company. I decided to work hard at Founder Company for a few years. In those years, I was not only working for the company, but also accumulating experience for myself. Therefore, I earnestly do what I should do in the company, and even do many things that the company does not want me to do. I have contributed a lot to the company objectively, but in fact I am personally the biggest beneficiary because I have gotten a lot of exercise and my ability to do things has improved a lot. Without this experience, I would not have the ability to do 3721.
When I was at Yahoo, people thought I was a professional manager. What is the image of a professional manager? Wearing suits and shoes all day, speaking in foreign languages, and carrying out the orders of the headquarters. I work part-time at Yahoo, and I could have gotten involved, so I could get a lot of money, but I don't want to, and I don't want to. I feel like my time is precious, and I've been with Yahoo for so long that I've been disconnected from the industry. Therefore, at Yahoo, I also have the same entrepreneurial spirit, and I am working hard to make search, portal, and email. I worked hard to improve my ability, experience and knowledge, which enabled me to do investment, Qihoo and 360 in the future.
There are many opportunities in front of you, but I can tell you that 360 is the best opportunity in front of you. Of course, you can go to Tencent, go to Baidu, go to Taobao, but these three big mountains have been very successful and have a large scale, and you will become more of a screw there. The current 360 is not a listed company. There will be many opportunities waiting for you in the future. You can make a lot of contributions and get the company's stock and options. But whether you can seize this opportunity depends on the accumulation of your experience and ability. Therefore, everyone should not work in 360 with the mentality of part-time work. I don't need to work here.
I hope that everyone will come to 360 to cooperate with me for several years. No matter whether you are still working in 360 in the future, everyone will be able to do something in 360 and improve their abilities. This is my expectation.
I hope that everyone in 360 is holding a mentality of doing it for themselves, accumulating your knowledge, accumulating your experience, and accumulating your ability. This is also a profound experience that I have experienced in this industry after many years in Beijing, after repeated defeats and battles in this industry.
Another point, I hope that when you work in the company, you must strive to make a small thing a big thing, and you can also get a sense of accomplishment by doing this. If one day you start a company, it may be very profitable, but it may not be very fulfilling. After you earn your first million, you will feel very accomplished. After earning your first ten million, you will feel very accomplished. But after that, it becomes a numbers game, and you don't feel it.
However, when we all get together today, we are fully capable of making a product or service that affects hundreds of millions of people in China. This sense of achievement will make you proud for a lifetime. Even when you have a child, one day he asks you: "What did you do for the Internet when you were young?" You will be proud to point to the 360 on the computer and say, "That's what your father did back then." , not only are you proud of yourself, he will be proud of you too.
I think that a person's life may not be able to accomplish a certain big thing, but it must be pursued, or a very big thing can be accomplished with others. I hope that when people refer to me in the future, they will say that I have done a lot of things, or succeeded or failed. But I hope that everyone can say that I have done 360 to make China's Internet more secure. I subverted an era, I created a new era of cyber security.
A few years later, when everyone thinks of what I said today, I hope that everyone will not regret coming to 360. At least you have learned a lot in 360, and then you have earned money in 360 through your own efforts, and then you have done something by yourself. A sense of achievement, but also to establish their own influence.
Finally, what I want to say is that everyone must maintain a good attitude. When you entered the company, perhaps due to the hasty interview and insufficient communication, the position given to you was a little lower, and the salary set for you was not as high as you expected, but I think the salary you received today does not represent your worth. . As long as you develop your abilities and have the skills, even if 360 doesn't give you room to play, you don't have to complain every day. You can use the skills you learned in 360 to choose other companies to create a better future.
When I was at Founder, I learned the ability I needed, and when I thought it could no longer give me a better platform for growth, I could give it up without hesitation. On the contrary, if you don't have the ability and choose to mix there, you will never have the courage to choose to give up a company. Remember, courage is not personality, courage is not a fever, courage is made of strength.
Everyone here today has more potential than strength. I hope that in the next few years, everyone will turn their potential into strength. Perhaps, among us, there will be many new generations of Internet elites, which is entirely possible, because the future of the Internet undoubtedly belongs to young people. Therefore, my dream in the future is to focus on being an investor after the success of 360, helping more young people to achieve success.
The human resources department often advises me not to talk to you about starting a business, for fear that if you think about starting a business, you will quit your job and start a company the next day. Let me tell you that entrepreneurship is actually a kind of spirit and a state of mind. Entrepreneurship has many forms. It is not just about running a company by yourself and being your own boss. When your life is still in its infancy, and you do not have enough experience and ability, you need to be an apprentice to others, and you need to learn and accumulate. In fact, this process is also entrepreneurship.
Maybe you want to do something big, but with a lot of resources, you can start your own business within the company. There are many people in our company who started their own businesses within 360. Why did they give up their small companies to come to 360? Because no matter how hard they try, they can't make things bigger because they don't have a big enough platform. Therefore, what they are pursuing now is not how much money they can get, but to do a big thing first, to lay the foundation for him to do things independently in the future.
Today, 360 is still a start-up company, not a big company, let alone an international enterprise. We are a start-up company. We have many entrepreneurial teams within us. I hope that everyone who joins will become qualified entrepreneurs and start businesses together with the company. Here, we must learn the ability to start a business and build our own cornerstone. This is my expectation.
thank you all.
