Century Huatong 002602, CEO of the stock bar Wang Wei said: I understand the transformation of Chen Tianqiao, when he was the youngest richest man, he was to take advantage of the heavy responsibility of the Chinese Internet industry.
On July 30, Shanda’s retired employees spontaneously organized the “Fighting Fighters Conferenceâ€, and Chen Tianqiao, who had not appeared for a long time, had a video conversation with the former employees.
The 44-year-old man once enjoyed the supreme reputation, and now he has seen it, and the vicissitudes of life have not changed. For a long time, it was not active in people's sights. People seemed to remember that he was also a creator of myth.

In 2004, the Internet just started to recover, and the portal site was divided into three parts. The annual economic figures were still on the list of Guo Guangchang and Wang Charter. At that time, Ma Huateng's sales of QQ was “rejected†by Zhang Ruimin. Sohu just started to work as an engine. People just learned to use Baidu to check the news. Taobao quickly expanded through SARS.
Just as these Internet amnesties are still carrying grandchildren, Chen Tianqiao, who is only 31 years old, has already reached the throne.
He graduated from the Economics Department of Fudan University and grew up in a family of senior intellectuals. After graduation, he entered the well-known state-owned Lujiazui Group in Shanghai, and he became the chairman of the group from the vice president of the company. Wang Ande, then chairman and president, later laughed and said that this kid came to me as a secretary because my office was able to access the Internet 24 hours a day. My office is also the place where he touched the net to set sail. At the age of 25, Chen Tianqiao refused Wang Ande's invitation to move with him, and refused the opportunity to become the youngest district chief secretary in Shanghai and began the journey.
In 1999, Chen Tianqiao took the 500,000 earned in the stock market and his wife founded Shanda. At that time, he did not look at Baidu, who was just starting a business, and he did not know Liu Qiangdong and Ma Yun. His goal was Liu Chuanzhi.
Shanda’s business, from cartoon websites to “legendary†and other online game agents, achieved revenues of 680 million yuan and net profit of 100 million yuan in 2002. In 2004, Shanda was listed on NASDAQ in the United States. In 2005, Chen Tianqiao became the richest man in China with a value of 15 billion.
Chen Tianqiao waved $207 million to buy a 19.5% stake in Sina, and became the biggest shareholder of Sina. He also wanted to buy it in one fell swoop, so he was also crowned as the "barbarians at the door" by Sina. Under the leadership of Cao Guowei, who was born in finance, Sina blocked Chen’s acquisition. Chen sold the shares a year later and earned a net profit of 100 million US dollars.
When Chen Tianqiao was still struggling to expand his territory and seek development, he easily bought the fruits of the winners with money and became a popular renminbi player in the Internet circle. The purpose behind this big handwriting is very simple, and Sina will give information to Shanda Box for information support.
The grand box, as everyone knows, is the obsession of Chen Tianqiao’s heart. He once patted the table and told the people on the board that it was not a matter of doing the box. It was not a question of whether you could do it or not, and who did not do it.

Chen Tianqiao hates games, even though "Legend" made him the richest man in China, the idea of ​​giving up the game layout has not been broken. It may be the high school of higher education, or it may be that there are many social accusations. Chen Tianqiao does not want to be a target of public criticism, so when he aims at the transformation of the TV box, he excitedly said: "We are a comprehensive supplier of entertainment content, this must be the trend. !"
At this time, it is 2003.
He ran too fast, like the forgotten Holderlin, no one understood what the madman was doing. After a few years, everyone suddenly discovered that whether it is the network box or the content IP, these are the circuits that have been verified by the times, but the people who are up are continuing his dream.
But more than a decade ago, it was not an era that was not broken. At that time, there was no such thing.
Spend money, no hardware experience, advanced mode of “three networks integrationâ€, imperfect infrastructure conditions – there are a series of excuses that cannot start the project.
The market situation is worrying and the internal situation is extremely tense. Shanda is a popular online fried chicken, and Chen Tianqiao has to change the flag to become the advanced concept of TV box. No one thought about whether games, advertisements, movies, and music could be combined into one product. Not many people have the awareness of content profitability. To convince executives, Chen Tianqiao once trapped them in the conference room for seven or eight hours.
The huge TV box that digs huge people, throws investment, and grows wildly is made out, but the box made by Chen Tianqiao with Microsoft system is bigger than the computer. The price of six or seven thousand is not enough for the consumers at that time, only a few "Legend" local powder bought the first batch of boxes.
In December 2005, Shanda launched a short version of the box - EZ Pod. At that time, Chen Tianqiao said with enthusiasm: Bill Gates and Paul Allen (other founder of Microsoft) wanted to do this thing and failed. Today, a Chinese person has made it.
However, he did not expect that a few months later, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television called all IPTV projects, and also called Chen Tianqiao's ambitions. Since then, he has never touched the box.
In the past two years, TV boxes have exploded, and players such as LeTV, Xiaomi, Hisense, and Skyworth have rushed to the market, and the price of TV boxes has changed from 6,000 yuan to one or two hundred yuan. This is probably impossible for Chen Tianqiao at the time.
However, after trying everything, how many people remember?

The TV box is not the only one that has made Chen Tianqiao do it first.
After the box, Chen Tianqiao re-adjusted the direction and set a plan for “Video Portal + Literature Creation + Film IP Adaptation + Game Adaptation + Bamboo Book Reader†for Shanda.
In 2010, Shanda Literature attracted four websites including Eucalyptus to complete the transformation of online game makers to “digital entertainment providersâ€. The success of Shanda Literature is well known. In 2013, Shanda Literature has reached 2 million writers, 7 million original novels, 150 million users, more than 70% market share, and 100 million new words every day.
"Ghost Blowing Lights" and "Biography" are the roots of the novels that have been raging in recent years. Chen Tianqiao's layout awareness in the IP industry chain is the earliest and the best, but in the end, Shanda literature was sold to Tencent. IP has blossomed in recent years, but the fruit picker is no longer Chen Tianqiao.
Recently, when Chen Tianqiao was attending the Grand Contest, he was asked by reporters what he thought about the "Internet Disney" that was originally proposed but not made. I am afraid that the media wants to hear Chen Tianqiao’s personal remorse, so that this fast-forgotten person seems even more tragic. Sad? never!
Chen Tianqiao was just uninterested in fighting, and even more unwilling to see Tencent Ali's grace and grievances. He gave his foundation to a more suitable party, and also to make his "Disney" dream go further.
Therefore, even if no one remembers him, it will not change the facts. In 2003, electronic payment was laid out and it was platformized in 2007. On May 26, 2011, Shengfutong obtained a license. In the same year, Alipay was also paid for the payment license.
In 2004, he laid out the IP industry chain and established Shanda Literature with the starting point as the core. Content entrepreneurship has become a hot spot in recent years.
In 2005, it created a game first, and began to try the "free play, buy props" model, which was not accepted by the industry at the time, but today more than a decade later became the mainstream model of the game industry's profit.
Even WeChat, with 963 million users, was developed with reference to the TalkBox invested by Chen Tianqiao. TalkBox is China's first voice IM software.

Nowadays, the public sees that the literature section of Shanda Network is being sold, and the game leader is the owner of the game. It is easy to judge Chen Tianqiao as the loser, and his eyes are short.
Chen Tianqiao walked fast every step of the way. When he started doing it, no one dared to think about it. When he gave up, others began to catch up.
Yes, if you look at the exposure rate, he did lose. The media did not hesitate to focus on the League of Legends. He really forgot to praise the pavers who originally laid the foundation for the free game and the item charging model. Therefore, the industry is full of Chen Tianqiao Jiang Lang's talents, the status quo, and the remarks.
In 2009, Shanda’s problem was solved. The problem was Chen Tianqiao’s body. Anyone familiar with Chen Tianqiao knows that he has a family-inherited heart disease. He rarely goes to the plane when he goes out. The doctor scolds him many times. Don't overwork, but he can't do it. At the age of 36, physical illness made him start to doubt life and let him start thinking about transformation.
Chen Tianqiao split the map and sold the Jiangshan one by one, turning the company from an operational type to an investment type.
In fact, in recent years, all Internet companies are investing, Tencent has invested in O2O, games and pan-interi, Internet finance, and social aspects. Ali prefers O2O and Internet finance. Jingdong has e-commerce, finance, intelligence and Baidu. O2O ecological chain. Everyone grabbed the upstream and downstream resources of the industry and competed for the domestic and foreign markets. Although Chen Tianqiao is not in front of the stage, there is no relaxation behind the scenes.
The income that was originally earned was gone, but the profit was not too little. If the return on investment was used, the initial investment of Shanda Literature was only 20 million, and Tencent earned 25 times. Zhejiang Media spent 3.18 billion to buy the winger, Chen Tianqiao earned 18 times...
In 2015, Chen Tianqiao has cashed in 6.2 billion yuan. On the road of transformation, Chen Tianqiao's eyes are very sinister, the project has invested a lot, the surface is widely spread, the direction is selected, VR, hardware, entertainment, P2P, there is no shortage of fire in the field.
At the beginning of 2016, the media once asked Wang Hao about Chen Tianqiao's physical affairs. Wang Xiaoxiao said that the bridge brother went to Singapore, and he did not do anything, light fitness and investment, and recently liked boxing. At that time, the media did not notice the investment map of Chen Tianqiao. Now it seems that Chen Tianqiao is indeed a winner in life. The couple are deeply loved, healthy and earning more. The outside world does not know, just because he is too low-key.

2016 is a lively year, smart services are hot, Baidu launched DuerOS voice interactive platform, Apollo driverless platform, Baidu brain and Baidu cloud; Ali launched artificial intelligence ET; Tencent established AI laboratory. The strategic layout of BAT is different, but it is necessary to fight a black technology.
However, Chen Tianqiao played a different card. At the end of 2016, Chen Tianqiao and his wife donated $115 million to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for brain research. The Chen Tianqiao Brain Science Research Institute was established. This warrior who constantly explores new fields has found the goal to fight for it.
Chen Tianqiao said frankly that the donation was part of the first phase of Chen Tianqiao's brain science program. He prepared $1 billion for the plan and donated at least $100 million a year. The reason why he chose the California Institute of Technology instead of the domestic college is because the California Institute of Technology is more mature in brain research. He hopes to choose "closer to the goal" and study without borders.
"How does the brain dominate action; how to treat brain diseases; how the brain extends development" is what Chen Tianqiao cares about. Is it very advanced? When many people accuse him of being a good entrepreneur, he has already taken off his entrepreneur's Hat and started dreaming of changing humanity.
"I feel that today's technology has reached the critical point of cognitive change. Only by deepening the research on the human brain can we achieve new breakthroughs in other fields." When Chen Tianqiao was asked by the media to brain research projects, the speed of speech suddenly increased. It’s hard to hide the excitement. “Just like now, I’m talking about how to solve the bottleneck of artificial intelligence development. Has anyone ever thought that since computer computing is fast, it can’t reach people’s ideological flexibility and depth, so why not study it? Human brain, isn't this the way to break everything? Human development has always strengthened itself, not creating new 'humanoids'."
Putting down utilitarianism and doing brain research is not a hot decision. He and his wife have been pondering for a long time and even made detailed plans for the study. In addition to the California Institute of Technology, he and Fudan, Zhejiang University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences donation cooperation is also in the discussion.
He also launched a program to donate young scientists, and he hopes to nurture the backbone of the next generation of research. The wife laughed and said that this is also a VC-type donation, and we hope to have a Nobel Prize. Contribute to humanity.
Maybe he is still going too fast this time, too advanced. When he has devoted himself to a new career, those who are unprovoked are still accusing him of why he has invested money abroad. It is possible that the research will fail and may sacrifice the light of successful researchers in this field in the future. But he walked along the way, isn’t it the pressure to continue to open?
As for whether people can remember, can they succeed? Really important?
end
In the hit TV series "Game of Thrones", there is a personal thing called the three-eyed crow - Brinden Hewen. His well-known title is "Green Prophet". At the same time, he is still a slash middle age: first-class warrior, archer, king's hand, night commander commander.
Can you believe it? Going deep into the front line and resisting the undead army, he has experienced the human nature and taught him with his life. He understands the past and predicts the future and quietly promotes the advance of the times. Even if I left, no one paid attention.
The people don't want to think about three crows at all, just like the people don't miss Chen Tianqiao.
Chen Tianqiao is a prophet in the Internet circle. He is ahead of the times to engage in boxes, engage in intellectual IP, and develop new modes of games. As an investor, he has seized the enthusiasm of entertainment, P2P, etc.; in 2016, he plans to donate $1 billion to brain science research. (The first phase has been completed), extending the development of the human brain.
Too much to pursue innovation, but to make Chen Tianqiao's grand advance and retreat. You look at another company called Tencent, which also relies on games to make a home. The net profit for the first half of 2017 was 32.802 billion, which is close to 200 million. But in essence, Tencent has no innovation, relying on WeChat's 963 million monthly active users and the glory of the king.
I have to say that this is a great irony.
In this anxious, fragmented Internet society, you will miss -1, long-term vision, leading the foresight for many years; 2, down-to-earth, low-key and noisy change of the world - Chen Tianqiao?
--I am talking about the eight sisters --
After reading the story of the rise and fall of Chen Tianqiao, is the entrepreneurial dream in your heart also ignited? If you have not taken the first step of starting a business because of the problem of the venue, don't worry, the space is available for you.
