4. Shenzhen is 30 years old now. What do you expect Shenzhen to be in 30 years from now?


Xiao Xuan: Shenzhen must be very modern after 30 years. Maybe it can fly in the sky with its motorbike and enter the era of intelligent information.

There will be more high-rise buildings in Shenzhen. There will be more hi-tech enterprises, and the Internet will occupy a very important position.


5. what will you do if there is no Shenzhen city?


Xiao Xuan: if there is no Shenzhen City, (I will) feel like a child without a home, very hesitant.


I was born in Guangdong in December 1985 and my parents are from Meizhou.

When I was little, I went to kindergarten with my parents in Shenzhen.

At that time, there were not so many tall buildings in Shenzhen, and there were not so many cars.


When I was in primary school, I had a little fighter learning machine, and I had my own computer in junior high school.

There was no Internet at that time.

At first, we were all on the "window of Shenzhen" - the first WEB website of the Chinese public network founded in 1995.


I am used to Shenzhen, and the university is also read in Shenzhen vocational college.

Actually, I have been to other cities, but I find Shenzhen is my favorite.

The university is wonderful, no regrets, a group of friends, a Wushu Association, a college student union, and a student information network center.

After graduation, I was responsible for marketing work in a game company and worked as an Internet bar promoter.


When I was young, my dream was to be a policeman. That's because the police uncle on TV was handsome, and later wanted to be a scientist.

When I was a child, I liked to study things, such as giving the green beans with pigments to produce pink buds, and spending a long time thinking about the eternal generators.

My ideal now is to be an entrepreneur and to be an enterprise that can give back to society and serve the people.

My idol is Shi Yuzhu.

What I like is not his hype, but his spirit of not giving up after he failed.

Our website also has many words "do not give up". This is an attitude.


Hold on to dreams and refuse to buy


I am not a network ace, but I contacted the Internet very early. I did web sites in high school. I also posted a website of young people on the Internet to provide the trend information.


"Gu Jie" was founded in January 14th this year.

Almost all of the people who start a business are from Shenzhen. They are friends or family members who have known each other for many years.

At that time, a few friends saw Google preparing to withdraw the news from China. They sat together and chatted and said that without Google, how did they spend their days? So they remembered that they wanted to make a website for solving loneliness, and then they did so.

We are not studying computer or related majors, but we are very interested in computers and networks. We started contacting computers very early.


The original founders were 6 people who applied for domain names and bought servers.

At the beginning, it only needed thousands of yuan. Since the establishment of Gu Jie for more than 3 months, a total of about 100000 yuan has been invested.


In fact, the family members of the founding team were later known.

Each of us has applied for a sum of money with our parents, and our parents are very supportive of us.

What we do now, parents believe is something that can contribute to society.


What do I do if I have no income now? I think the dream is priceless and there is nothing to lose.

In fact, some people plan to buy 50 million yuan for Gu Jie. I organized several people who originally started business to write paper ballot, and they all decided not to sell it.

I asked them, "why did they decide not to sell?" they said, "this is a dream we are fighting for. How can we sell our dream?" we do not think that a website should be built in a few months. The sale of 50 million yuan is very cost-effective.


Many people will have doubts: why does Gu Jie not accept advertisements? We can see a little farther.

We want to be a large multinational website. We plan to develop it in China first, then propagate products and services abroad, and use our efforts to influence foreign countries.

The company's income will not be considered for the time being. It will be considered in the future.

We initially expect to make profits in 3 to 5 years, depending on the operation.


We did not go to investors. Many investors came to see us. We saw at least 10 investors before and after.

We don't need too much money. Investors who want us to make money right away will not continue talking.

The largest number of investors are those who plan to invest 50 million yuan, and the temptation is not big.

Now there are several investors who are consistent with our ideas.


Now there are more than 20 people in the team. They are all full-time. They have regular meetings at 9:30 every morning.

We don't pay much attention to fame and fame.

The media and netizens have good or bad comments on Gu Jie. I don't think it matters. Anyway, we should do what we do and do well.

What is a good job? As long as someone is on the website, he will be happy when he is on the website, and bring something to him.

The number of independent IP that you visit every day is 80 thousand to 100 thousand, and the clicks are 300 thousand to 500 thousand.


We have set up a search engine project group and recruited 4 professionals who have done more than 5 years of search technology. They are all "after 80".

When recruiting, the first thing we look at is whether his ideas and goals are consistent with us, and his ability is second.

The salary we can offer is not too high, not as good as the 1/2 or 1/3 of their previous earnings, but we have a good environment and passion.


Like to create miracles


We hope that 5 to 10 years will be able to achieve a globalized website, which is the common goal of our team.

This seems to be faster than Tencent's miracle. We like to create miracles.

I think everyone has their own goals and dreams. If we dare not set this point, it is hard to accomplish one thing.

We have "no abandonment, no abandonment" mentality. If 5 to 10 years are not enough, it will be 10 to 20 years.

We are not afraid of loneliness.


Our imaginary sister Gu is different from the current search engine.

For example, Baidu and Tencent search for a wide range of faces, we are looking for life specific search, such as where you want to find something tasty and fun, you can find it on Gu sister.

We want to be a hundred years of business.

In this society, only surviving enterprises are the ultimate winners.

The legal representative of the company we are registering is me, with a registered capital of 1 million yuan, which was collected by everyone.

My family is not very rich, but very poor, really.


Our principle is not to televisions or photographs in newspapers.

Now that we have not yet achieved, television does not mean anything. After we have made real achievements, we can affect people of our age.

When did we really achieve success? After we founded the company, we developed to a certain scale, running normally or listing, or when people saw that Gu Jie had its own characteristics and experience.

I don't think it's suitable for TV without achievement.

If we show up one day in the TV or in the newspaper, it must be the success of Gu Jie net. That way, we can tell people more convincingly that the younger generation can start their own business and do something without abandoning or giving up.
