Li Kaifu Innovation Workshop Investment Creativity


Foreign media published an article on former president of Google China.

Li Kaifu

The "Innovation workshop" and the characteristics of the development of technology start-ups in China are reported.


The following is the full text of the article:


In the field of science and technology, few prestigious Chinese executives can compare with Li Kaifu. He has been entrusted with the heavy responsibility of Bill Gates to take charge of Microsoft's operation in China, and then joined Google at the invitation of Google founder Larry Paige (Larry Page) and Sergio Brin (Sergey Brin), and once declined apple CEO Steve Jobs (SteveJobs) to invite him to join Apple's invitation.


His latest adventure is "

Innovation Works

"(InnovationWorks), this is a $115 million fund that supports early technology companies. It is similar to a laboratory designed to teach a course to the country of 1 billion 200 million people. The best description of this course is" Silicon Valley 101 "(Note: 101 is the commonly used vocabulary of foreign titles, such as" 101 Ways to change life ").

His efforts will make full use of the ambition of the rising economic giant - one day, to own its own technology company that dominates the world.


China attaches great importance to his efforts, and the government has provided rent subsidies to his innovative workshops.

In addition, Li Kaifu's new headquarters was designed by a designer of the bird's nest of the National Stadium in 2008 Beijing Olympic games free of charge.


On a Saturday in October (002291), he became the target of more than 100 people who aspire to be entrepreneurs.

These people won a competition sponsored by local TV programs, so they could listen to Li Kaifu's speech in person.

Dressed in formal suits, they came to Li Kaifu's office, shouting and shouting, as if he were Steve Jobs.


Meng Chang, an intern of Innovation workshop, said: "he is a superstar."

In order to work with Li Kaifu, who is very glamour, Meng Chang postponed the time when she began studying MBA at Columbia University.


Li Kaifu said that in China, he can "add value in ways that others can't match".


Training start-up companies


MarkNatkin, executive director of MarbridgeConsulting, Beijing, said Li Kaifu faced a difficult task.


Natkin added: "many people, including investors, are used to standing behind him.

In the final analysis, we need to see whether the company that he chooses to hatch will take off or fail.


Natkin said that Li Kaifu's performance in Google was both good and bad.

During his tenure, Google China's market share surged from 16% to 31%, but still far behind the leading local search engine Baidu.


Li Kaifu recently announced 5 companies that support innovative workshops, of which 4 are mobile technology startups focusing heavily on Google's Android operating system.

However, there is no revolutionary technology.

For a technology start-up company or a new country, these enterprises are a start.


Li Kaifu said that in Silicon Valley, many professionals are willing to join the start-up company at any stage of their career, but in China, most people feel a sense of urgency when they graduate.


He said, "once you reach 32, you will have families and children, and you need to send your children to a good school.

Parents want their children to own their own homes and children, which may stifle young entrepreneurs' entrepreneurial dreams.


But China's ambition to build a "changing world" is growing.

Eager figure


Not only did Chinese entrepreneurs rush through the door, hoping to cooperate with Li Kaifu, but the technology giant also made a blush for him in court.

After Google poached Li Kaifu from Microsoft, the two giants launched a lasting litigation battle.

Microsoft finally failed to prevent Li Kaifu from joining its competitors.

Moreover, before signing up for Microsoft at the end of 1990s, Li Kaifu had refused another "pursuer" - Jobs.


One day, Li Kaifu's wife told him, "Apple has a person called Steve calling you. He wants you to call back."

Li Kaifu's wife worked there before Jobs returned to apple.


Li Kaifu said, "Steve? I don't know anyone named Steve in apple."


When Li Kaifu called back by phone number, he was surprised to answer Jobs.

Jobs said to him, "your former subordinates tell me that you are a good boss and they want me to bring you back.

You go back to the apple and see if you decide to go to Microsoft.


Li Kaifu refused Jobs's kindness because he had promised to go to Microsoft.


Li Kaifu once expressed his dissatisfaction with Google's failure in the world's largest Internet market in a slide show that he produced on display.

He said Google "pays close attention to short-term interests, local teams are not authorized, ignore local market demand, big product doctrine, and do not want to make adjustments for the Chinese market".


Investment creativity


Li Kaifu said that developers will choose the Android platform, and they will get excellent hardware support, but if they want to bind Google services to these Android devices, they have to make more efforts.


Most investors will invest in real estate and other industries for quick returns, while Li Kaifu will

Investment

Focus on

Originality

Up.


He said, "this is Buffett's way of doing things contrary to others.

We won't make any profit in at least 5 years, and this is an optimistic estimate. "
