Chapter 19 Seed your future on January 24

When I was doing experiments at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, I needed to use a computer to control the experimental process, so I spent a long time in front of the computer.And the computer is connected to the Internet, so I use e-mails to communicate with my tutors, and I also use e-mails among my classmates.E-mail and chat tools are not graphic interfaces, because browsers have not yet come out at that time, and some symbols are input.At that time, I felt that the Internet was very magical. At that time, I planted the seeds in my heart and came up with the idea of ​​starting an Internet company in the future.

I deeply understand that although there is a personal sentiment mixed in, that China must be strong, and China is rising, which is one of the most talked about things on our planet.Therefore, first, I want to do something related to China, and second, I want to do the Internet. In the end, I returned to China to do the Internet and became one of the earliest people in China to do the Internet. Said in the column interview How did Zhang Chaoyang embark on the road of entrepreneurship?When he was studying in Tsinghua University, he still dreamed of becoming a physicist. After arriving at MIT, this dream began to waver, and evolved into returning to China to do things related to the Internet in the future.The act of an alumnus returning to China made his already anxious heart firm.So before starting a business, he returned to China as the chief representative of ISI China, and agreed with the founder of ISI to only work for one year.Using this time, he began to seek investment in the United States, and eventually founded Aitexin.

From the perspective of the outside world, a person who has never studied computers has founded an Internet company, which makes Zhang Chaoyang seem not to play his cards according to common sense, and has always been "outside the system".In fact, in his laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he experienced the shock brought by the information superhighway. Take an unusual step.
