After reading last week teacher Wu's book "the wave of the summit," second edition, so far still passion. This book describes a calm and straightforward strokes the history of Silicon Valley IT companies who look like Microsoft, Google, Apple and other IT companies are excellent, from scratch, to grow into today's giant, look at Sun Microsystems Yahoo from creating brilliant, the final drop to the altar, always lamentable.
Development of IT era technology, roll and roll of waves come and go, look at those business tycoons surging river, and every one of them, might have come from the grassroots born, we were able to seize the opportunity to greet the scientific and technological development wave, moved nine miles, and finally write a wonderful scenes of epic story, which is how decisive and courageous, can be so wonderful?
As Wu teacher said, each person's life, even if only to experience a wave is enough, such a wave, not only can people get freedom wealth, more people really create a lot of value.
Remember not long ago, I wrote a blog titled "IT Changsha twenty years", intended to record the history of those old Changsha IT technology, such as Powerise, the king of the Great Wall computers, business, as well as outstanding enterprises are emerging today . However, when the finished blog, but it felt like to observe from the micro perspective of the individual, missing a bigger picture, can not see through those characteristics of the times in which the king who can not see who they are in these emerging companies in the modern era real position, eventually dropped, become worse as a worthless, and later total conception decision was not accurate, there is no description entrepreneurs of hard work and the process of trying to re-write again, also dropped.
Powerise such as local giants, they may be unremarkable in the history of IT, but once they dominate in the central region, rich in resources, talent, they often occupy areas headlines, it is the most ideal employer. However, they fall apart overnight, although started again, but you can not reproduce the old glory. Behind this, what happened? There are many short-lived companies, have all of a sudden enrollment to large scale of hundreds of people to go to war, what made him suddenly die?
Wave, as a pair of invisible divine hand, he pushed to the cusp of the hero, yet the faint-hearted shot down on the beach.
Wave, probably a typhoon groups, each outlet, is enough to make those who grasp the opportunity to earn financial freedom, but also that all outlets are ultimately affected the pattern of Chinese Internet today, and indirect radiative world.
As a once young and uncle are about to enter the ranks of developers, I have not experienced those era of surging river, are caught in the crowd, and the outlet can not see the wave of now, there are three bosses they had said, suddenly appeared in my mind.
Recall four years ago, five years from the day to be a small and medium IT companies to leave, my boss said to me saying: If you have a second choice, I would not choose GIS. I also heard this sentence with the company's management Another said, but say it from his mouth, and yet another kind of feeling. Still later, his mother said over and over again, entrepreneurs do not learn of his son, opened a company more than a decade, although earned a little money, but not as good as the benefits of real estate, Xiangya intensive care and that was to go, between life and death, I do not know have gone through a few rounds, only four years old, they are worse than her memory. Although that company is a small company of hundreds of people, but also full of cohesion and combat effectiveness, however, in an otherwise low-margin small industry, struggling more than a decade, but how could not afford to turn what waves come, even bondage success, but also left a feather.
As well as the leader of the domestic industry map, the new process NavInfo always said a word, then a four-dimensional biggest rival Baidu with high moral fought a hard battle, yet the whole have high moral fight no more, and ultimately sold themselves Ali Baba, founder of the team all the lonely leave. While Alibaba obtain new lines of business, but also to put pressure on Tencent, so the four-dimensional Tencent hand, when signing the contract, Cheng Dong Ma Tencent always ask a question, he said that we almost year venture, at the start of our development speed is almost, we also slightly faster than you, why now how just to catch up? Ma always said, to grasp the outlet, on the outlet, one hundred decide, as long as doing the right one will be able to succeed.
"I have defeated all opponents, but lost era", which is when Huang, founder of RT-Mart's departure, leave you with a word. RT-Mart supermarket since came to the mainland, with quality products and services, defeated numerous opponents, and eventually becomes the leading domestic supermarket boss, has sold himself to the Alibaba Group, the same people marvel, many people feeling that the wheel of history rolling forward, when to abandon you, say hello probably will not play.
This is three different areas of business owners, their age, are born around the seventies, and start a business before and after the 20th century, although the body mass company they created very different, but the feeling was almost left behind, they probably become a microcosm of many business owners. From the first boss's point of view, from a selected outlet away from the beginning of the industry, it means that his future can only keep on going down this road, in the workplace = "start =" non-discriminatory competition = "price war, always follow him, even if he wanted to give employees a better deal, but also simply incompetent, by all means from, but not always out, as if fate. In fact, this is in the young people of 996ICU with every day, and perhaps there is not much difference?
As a young developer us, we are now being coerced youth, buried dreams, but obviously not all of our future. Read the "wave of the summit," look at the background of the times we live in, we have to look at the direction of, and in the future will go, perhaps will be a huge harvest.
The tide is surging river.
Eastward death, counter will have nothing.
Wave is the pulse of the times.
Who in stream water, courageously forward?
Hard struggle who rose to the challenge.
See the invisible world, Who Controls.
btw: the top of the wave is about to hit the press - the fourth edition, which will bring changes in the new book? Worth the wait.
