A lifetime of entrepreneurship , Why should I choose technology entrepreneurship ？ Now that I think about it , It all happened by chance , There are traces to follow .

Like many programmers in this era , The game is the key to my code life . It's just the game I play , Relatively ancient , It's a little game of operating a mine car to dig gold .

That was when I was in high school , Once I went to my father's unit to play , See a Compaq Computer , still Windows3.1 Systematic . It was the first time I came into contact with computers , I can't stop playing .

Start with the game , My curiosity and exploration of computers began , Later, I began to teach myself some programming .

There were few books on programming that could be found at that time , There are few people around who know programming , But as long as it's a related book , I won't let go .

（Windows3.1 The installation interface ）

​

It's also out of curiosity about computers , I chose the computer major of Ningxia University , This major belonged to the Department of mathematics at that time , Mathematics is very deep , Therefore, I have laid a very solid foundation in computer and Mathematics .

Now in retrospect , What rongyun provides IM Instant messaging and RTC Real time audio and video services , In fact, many difficulties are based on Mathematics . This accumulation in college is very important .

When you graduate from college , Just in time for the tax system to become electronic , More than half of the students in the class were assigned to work in the tax system , I didn't become one of them , But attracted by another light .

At that time （1998 year ）, Domestic Internet entrepreneurship is in the golden age of transmission from infrastructure to application facilities , representative Web1.0 Web portals and BATJ Many Internet companies were born around this period .

today , Some of them have grown into giant factories that are difficult to shake , Some gradually fall off the stage . The ups and downs of the business world need not be lamented , But that was the first spring of the Internet, and now it's still exciting .

And then , Shenzhen Special Economic Zone can be said to have gathered the most imaginative group of young people , Electronics factory 、 self-employed person 、 Internet , A free and inclusive gold rush land , Full of vigour , dynamic .

The world is obviously more challenging than a job that can be seen at a glance . therefore , As a native of Tianjin, i , Choose to go south , Become “ Deep drift ” gens .

There are many fish in the big water , Opportunities abound , And I opened the starting point of the journey of the communication industry , Research and development of business accounting system and value-added business platform in the operator system .

Period experience very interesting , Full of uncertainty but very hot blood . As a programmer , In fact, I don't spend much time writing code every day , We spend all day talking about prototypes , Explore future business models , Everything is crossing the river by feeling the stone . It's also in this period , I'm interested in product design 、 Have a preliminary understanding of business model .

2002 year , With the accumulation in the telecommunications industry , I came to Beijing , Joined Microsoft as a consultant , Specializing in the telecommunications industry .

In this period , Network technology is advancing by leaps and bounds , People are getting used to using instant messaging software to communicate , Especially in the office scene , Instant messaging applications are likely to catch up with email .

（2005 year , Ren Jie during his tenure at Microsoft ）

​

2005 year , The user content platform mainly represented by Sina blog and campus network was born , The Internet has ushered in 2.0 Time , It also opened the prelude to the replacement of portal websites by social media . be based on Web2.0 The concept of , New technologies to enhance the user experience are developing rapidly , Content 、 Community 、 Instant messaging has become a key word of Internet products .

During Microsoft's work , My first contact with IM im , Create an instant messaging product for CCTV .

thereafter , I have been responsible for several major value-added system projects , Until joining the predecessor team of rongyun , Start to be Feixin of China Mobile .

The experience of Microsoft has brought me two important marks , It's something that I've been very useful to this day .

One is to encourage and pay attention to the personal value of programmers . As a technology company with R & D culture as the core , The personal value of programmers is highly respected in the enterprise gene , Believe in Developer Can change the world , The management structure is also relatively flat . later , I also implanted this gene and culture into rongyun , We hope to give you a more free space , Give full play to everyone's initiative .

The second is the accumulation of management methodology of large-scale projects . The project system operation mode of foreign enterprises , I need to lead and coordinate a technical team of hundreds of people , Complete the whole process from technical solution design to implementation , For me, it's a useful training in product and Technology Management .

2008 year , I was invited to join the Feixin team . This is one of the most critical decisions in my career , It's also a new challenge .

My judgment was based on , Feixin's business is backed by China Mobile , Naturally, it has a unique resource of SMS , Ensure that the message will reach , This has received special attention from the industry . At that time , Mobile Internet has not appeared yet , We all believe that Feixin may change China's Internet .

That's it , graduation 10 At the turn of the year , I became the of Feixin CTO.

（2008 year , Ren Jie who joined Feixin team ）

The number of users of Feixin has been increasing rapidly ,PC Time , More than a billion a day , It's an achievement for everyone to see . The technical team I led also started from the initial 400 Human development 1000 Many people , Completed the original technology accumulation and operation experience accumulation of instant messaging .

I believe many people know the following story , Feixin has left a strong mark in the history of Chinese social software and even the Internet , But regret to leave for various reasons .

But then , My career development , It is closely tied to the communication industry .

later , I led the team to India , Help one of India's largest business groups Reliance Created “ Wechat in India ”Jiochat. This experience , Let me take a look at the world's largest online dating market , With deep feelings and cognition , To a certain extent, it also became the basis for rongyun to firmly embark on the road of technology going to sea .

After finishing the project , I officially joined rongyun . In my submission , With the continuous development of network technology , Communication as a person to person 、 People and things , Even the means of communication between things , Will be everywhere . and Melting clouds , A platform level communication cloud capability provider , Encapsulate communication technology for developers , There will be much to be done .

Now? , The average number of people on each phone is 5 This app has 1 You are using the services provided by rongyun , Rongyun has long been hidden in 30 Ten thousand APP Behind the real communication cloud King .

Along the way , Of course, it can't be plain sailing .

Faced with numerous difficulties, large and small , My own way is , Make complexity simple . We receive a lot of information every day , They need to be put together and disassembled , Grasp the essence of the problem , Then break them one by one .

Make complexity simple , This is also the starting point of rongyun's initial products , Encapsulate complex communication technologies , With SDK Products are provided to developers in the form of , Make the business of developers simple and efficient .

This is melting clouds 8 In the history of development , It has gradually evolved into the product strategy of rongyun , Is to keep close to the needs of developers and changes in the market , Provide more and more simple products and perfect services to developers . Do that , The requirement for us is , Maintain innovation awareness , Constantly make breakthroughs in products and services .

And I was reviewing the process from leaving school to now , More deeply feel the significance of innovation .

China's Internet and mobile Internet have developed for so many years , Batch after batch of enterprises stand on the tuyere , After the highlight time, he left the stage sadly .

Now? ,Web3 Come face to face , The future of the metauniverse can be expected , It is also a reshuffle of opportunities and challenges for all companies . If you keep holding old ideas , Will eventually be lost in the torrent of the times .

therefore , For the survival of enterprises , No model is ever valid . The changes of the times are unstoppable , and Forever young 、 Continuous innovation is the only way out .
