DB: 在创立“易悦”之前,您曾是世纪佳缘创业团队的一员,当时你对“创业”两字的最大感悟是什么? Before you created “Yi Yue” APP, you were one of the entrepreneur team members in Jiayuan.com, what was your biggest impression about “entrepreneurship”?
创业梦想的实现,从来都不是一蹴而就的。创业,不是给别人锦上添花的,一定要解决问题,要做雪中送炭的事情,才能够有价值。即使你的创业的起点再低,你也不能期望快速获得成功,因为创业没有捷径可走;创业也不能因为求之过急而去揠苗助长,从长远发展来看企业一定会受损,甚至导致走下坡路。决定创业成败的因素有很多,比如:你的团队准备是否充分、能否准确把握住机遇等等。
A successful business can’t be accomplished in an action. Entrepreneurship is not just icing on the cake, but more of problem-solving and providing timely resolutions. That makes entrepreneurship meaningful. Even if you have a lower starting point when you start your business, you can’t expect it to be successful soon, because there is no shortcut. Being overhasty may generate no profits but harm to your business. Thus, your company will go downhill in the long-run. There are many factors that contribute to the success of a business, for instance, ‘is your team ready or not’; or ‘can you seize the right opportunity’.
DB: 离开世纪佳缘后,你怎么想到“精英社交圈”这一个概念,并为此创立了一个专属的APP? After leaving Jiayuan.com, you started your “Yi Yue” APP. How did you come up with the concept of “Elite Club” for your APP?
因为有了第一次世纪佳缘的创业经历,我觉得第二次创业就要超越第一次并做得更好、更有价值。我很喜欢“悦”这个字,容易开心、喜悦、从容。我觉得这是一种人生境界。一个人的诉求除了交友,还有兴趣,商业,人脉,学习等很多东西,可以在“易悦”这个平台上进行延伸。我希望“易悦”能够帮助正在发展中的青年创业者们和青年企业家们,给他们提供一个交流和沟通的平台。
Due to the first entrepreneurship experience in Jiayuan.com, I think I did much better this time. I like the Chinese character “Yue” very much, which means happiness, joy and calmness. This represents a philosophy of life. People don’t just have the need of making friends, they can exchange hobbies, business, networks and proceed a mutual learning. Most importantly, they can do all of this right in“Yi Yue”App. I hope “Yi Yue” can provide young entrepreneurs and enterprisers with a platform to share thoughts and communicate together.
DB: “易悦”所提倡的理念和它为用户提供的服务与内容有什么联系? What is the relationship between the concept that “Yi Yue” advocates and its corresponding service for the users?
易悦APP创办于2015年7月,是国内领先的精英社交平台。我们平台拥有60 余万注册认证会员,汇聚了国内外精品活动、主题派对、个性化定制服务等,并且通过线上运营与线下活动相结合,满足用户需求,打造最受欢迎的精英社交平台。
“Yi Yue” App was founded in July 2015. It is the first social online platform in China that targets at elite circles. We have more than 600,000 registered members with various domestic and overseas activities, events and personalised services available. The platform combines online operation and offline activities, which meets users’ demands and becomes one of the most popular social platforms among elites.
DB: “年轻创业家”、“成功的事业”及“幸福的家庭”,在众多人眼中,这些标签俨然让你成为了一名人生赢家。在创业的过程中,您曾遇到过工作与家人难以平衡的处境吗? A young entrepreneur, a successful career and a happy family, you have it all. In the course of building your career, what challenges did you encounter when striking a balance between work and family?
是的。创业的过程中,我觉得最亏欠的就是对家人的陪伴,其实我也非常幸运,我的父母和妻子都非常支持我的工作。对家人,有浓浓的爱在心中,是永远不会改变的。我觉得对家人最好的回报就是要把事情做好,要让这个亏欠变得值得,花费的时间变得有价值。我做什么事情都是很认真的一个人,我有一腔热血,想要做一件事儿。我会担起全部的责任,拿出我的所有来奉献给我的家人和同事。我对父母,对妻子、孩子,对同事都是这样。
Yes. In the course of starting my career, I felt that I owed too much to my family, but meanwhile, I felt lucky to have my family because of their great supports. The love I have for my family will never change. The best reward to my family is to do my job well. I want what has cost me more valuable and rewarding to me and my family. Whatever I do, I will do it with my full passion. If I want to achieve something, I will take up all the responsibilities and devote all my time and energy that should be invested in my family in doing it. I will also do the same for my parents, my wife, my children and my colleagues.
DB: 纵观今日,越来越多大学毕业生满怀热血,选择了创业这条道路,尤其是互联网创业。对此,您有什么看法或建议吗? More and more Chinese graduates nowadays are passionate and determined to start up their own business, especially in the Internet industry. How do you think of that, and what suggestions can you offer to those petite entrepreneurs?
其实,每个人在创业出发的时候,都充满幻想和期待。经历过的人都知道创业过程的艰难,每一个创业者都经历过无数的不眠之夜。我觉得我创业最大的优势就是乐观。心里脆弱的人根本创不了业,当不了CEO。创业不是一件时髦的事情,而是一个漫长的过程,其中的孤独难以言喻,最困难时也许谁都帮不上,伟大都是熬出来的。
In fact, every entrepreneur is a dreamer with great expectations when they start their business. Those who experienced the process of building up a business know how hard it will be. Every entrepreneur has endless sleepless nights. I think my biggest advantage during this process is my optimism. Those who are weak inside will eventually fail. Entrepreneurship is not something trendy for people. It is a long and lonely journey, even nobody can help you in the hardest time. A great victory is meant to be suffering.
