Who is the youngest CEO in China?

Sun Wei, a teenager from an ordinary family in Tai 'an, miraculously created a national record-the youngest CEO in China. He just turned 18 last year. In his words: "I could have started a company at the age of 16, but the state stipulated that I had to be at least 18 to be a legal representative, so I waited for another two years!" When I first met him in Sun Wei's office, I was very surprised. To be exact, the difference in his mature behavior and image completely caught the reporter off guard. The voice I heard on the phone before was "social", but in front of me, he was a very elegant boy, dressed in casual clothes, walking in the street. It is estimated that no one would think that he is the boss of a company, obviously a young student! In fact, he is still a senior three student in Taishan Middle School, but he has only dropped out of school for half a year. The starting point of success lies in Internet cafes. For a teenager who just turned 18, Sun Wei is undoubtedly successful. When it comes to success, Sun Wei is very modest. He quoted the advertisement of movie star Chow Yun Fat: "Success? I just hit the road! " Interestingly, the starting point of Sun Wei's journey is the Internet cafe that parents think is a "scourge"! Sun Wei first came into contact with computers when he was twelve years old. He was in the first grade at that time. Like other children, he couldn't put it down as soon as he touched the computer, and then plunged into the internet cafe. The difference is that most children are addicted to online games, while Sun Wei is addicted to online knowledge. Other children can stay up late for games, while Sun Wei can forget all about eating and sleeping for knowledge. Parents know that their children play computer games, and they often resolutely oppose it indiscriminately. So are Sun Wei's parents, especially Sun Wei, who got excellent grades. Since she became obsessed with computers, her grades plummeted, which directly became strong evidence of the resolute opposition of parents and teachers. In order to "save" Sun Wei, a teacher even urged him: "Students who study well play computer games are all-round development, while students who study poorly play computer games are idle." Isn't this sentence obvious? Sun Wei said that since then, he has strengthened his idea of becoming famous in the computer field. "There is no computer, only go to the Internet cafe! At that time, the family also had the conditions to buy an ordinary computer. However, in that case, it is said that buying a computer is learning knowledge. Who believes it? " Sun Wei spends all his ordinary pocket money on Internet cafes, attending classes during the day and surfing the Internet at night. Without professional books, he can only grope on the internet by himself! Many professional network technical materials are only available in English, which brings a lot of trouble to Sun Wei, so he becomes the only customer in the Internet cafe with an English-Chinese dictionary. Even so, many professional words can't be found, so we can only ask for help online, sometimes it takes 4 or 5 hours to understand, and he never gives up every time this happens! When studying in Internet cafes, Sun Wei's biggest headache is that his computer often crashes. Internet cafes generally use the power failure recovery function. Sometimes when the masterpiece is almost finished, the computer suddenly doesn't cooperate, and it takes a lot of energy to complete the webpage, and it disappears completely with the computer crash! "At that time, I really realized what it means to want to cry. I just feel a bang in my head, and I want to smash the computer! I was annoyed, but I never got discouraged. The big deal is a' pre-game practice'. " When talking, Sun Wei's expression was very happy. "These experiences are all wealth!" In this way, he quickly mastered the technology of making web pages and websites through hard work. In the second grade of junior high school, Sun Wei completed his first venture and made a website for a foreign trade company in Guangdong, earning 800 yuan. Although the money is not much, it makes him feel a sense of accomplishment, and more importantly, he has strengthened his belief. In the third grade of junior high school, he participated in the national webpage making competition and won the first prize in Shandong and the third prize in the country. With these awards, he was specially recruited by Taishan Middle School, creating a precedent for special computer recruitment in Tai 'an High School. 14 years old began to gallop in the business world. Since the third grade, Sun Wei has never asked for a penny from his family. He often takes his income home to supplement his family. That year, he was only 14 years old! The next four years will be his most tiring period. I have classes during the day and work part-time at night. I only sleep for a few hours every day. Most of the time I rest at 3 am and get up at 8 am. I often stay up for three days and nights when I am nervous. Although very tired, Sun Wei feels very full, especially when helping others to make websites. The sense of accomplishment is enough to make him forget all the hard work. I wanted to leave school early and concentrate on making money, but in order to avoid my parents' worries, Sun Wei persisted. Unconsciously, at the age of 16, he already has a huge network wealth of10 million. At this time, Sun Wei began to plan to start a company, but the answer he got was "the national law stipulates that minors under 18 can't start a company". No way, until this year 18 years old, Sun started his own network company ... During the two years waiting to start the company, Sun Wei had more and more business and less time to study. Finally, in 2006, he made a decision to drop out of school. At that time, parents, teachers and classmates had dispelled Sun Wei's idea of "doing nothing", and the school readily agreed to Sun Wei's request, providing him with convenient internet access and opening the school computer room. After entering the business world in an all-round way, Sun Wei's social experience has gradually increased, and he has a deeper understanding of "sinister rivers and lakes". Previously, Sun Wei, who was not deeply involved in the world, was deceived on the Internet many times, bought a server, remitted money, and the other party did not deliver the goods; I helped someone build a website, but the other party stood me up and didn't pay. These experiences gave Sun Wei a deeper understanding of society, and it was with these experiences that he gained a firm foothold in the complicated and thorny business world. There used to be some big bosses who, under the banner of * * * common development, took the proposed cooperation agreement and extended an olive branch to Sun Wei. It was hype, but in the end only Sun Wei was allowed to participate in technical work. In the long run, Sun Wei also see through, these people are just using him as a tool to make money. However, at this time, he is no longer a teenager, saying nothing, but his heart is like a mirror. Fortunately, I met a bosom friend who served as the vice president of the company. In his words, the two hit it off particularly well. Although there is a gap in age, Mr. Ren never treats him as a child. The division of labor in the work is clear and complementary, and it feels like a "friend of Guan Zhong". This is your help! The Embarrassment of "Age Discrimination" Most peers in Sun Wei are still under the care of their parents and lack too much ability. Thus, a default attitude towards society is formed, and children are "not scheming enough". Although Sun Wei has the title of CEO, he often encounters this embarrassment. I talked about several cooperation projects, and the communication with customers on the internet and on the phone was very successful. The two sides even talked about a broad cooperation plan and bright development prospects, just waiting to meet and sign the contract. As soon as we met, the other person's face suddenly changed. First he looked at his appearance, and then he verified his identity. "It's like checking accounts with the police." Especially when I heard my age, I almost lost my hair, my heart was strong, and I politely refused to cooperate; If you can't handle it, leave. To this, Sun Wei can only accept with a wry smile. "Of course, more and more people are still willing to cooperate. People are interested in ability, not age. " Sun Wei is very satisfied with this. In particular, it was recognized by Enom, the world's largest IDC network service provider, and became the company's chief partner in Greater China. I hope to make some contributions to the network cause of the motherland. Sun Wei has his own understanding of the network industry, and the most important thing is to have a vision and accurate positioning. Speaking of this, he is very proud of his 100 Chinese domain name. His domain names include Daimiao, Luneng Taishan, China Women's Football Team, Taishan Glass Fiber, Xinkuang and other well-known scenic spots and units, all of which have high market value. Among them, the trend of Luneng Taishan domain name is the most concerned by the world. Some time ago, an international student offered 200,000 yuan to buy this name, and Luneng officials were also very concerned. Sun Wei told reporters that these domain names are symbols of the value of Internet users. But many domain names, he is not engaged in commercial speculation, but collection and protection. The company was established, which was Sun Wei's first goal. He has a longer-term plan in mind. He doesn't need to earn much money. He only needs to be a domestic first-class network company and form a first-class cooperation team to add fuel to the national network cause. As the CEO of the company, he seems a little strange to this. "The next step is to change the role of the boss from a simple technician to a comprehensive operator." To this end, he set himself a requirement of 16: to get ahead, to be a great success, and to have a future for Wan Li. At the same time, he also set a service tenet for the company: create value for customers, enhance value, do his best and do my best. Sun Wei's views on Sun Wei's current domestic educational achievements have attracted the attention of a famous university in Shandong Province, and his deeds have also become a controversial topic among university professors in this school, prompting them to re-examine the realistic educational system. However, no matter what others say, Sun Wei has the most say. "I don't want to be a generalist, I just want to make achievements in a certain field." This sentence by Sun Wei is very meaningful. He explained that the current education model in China is all-round development and learning everything. As a result, students learn nothing well. More seriously, education is divorced from practice and society, and is basically in a state of single theory professor. However, theoretical textbooks are generally lagging behind, and a lot of knowledge learned can't keep up with the development of the times. Sun Wei gave three examples of personal experience: Last year, he browsed a forum in Tai 'an and found a graduation message from a college student. "I feel depressed after graduation, not because I left school, but because I found that I can't do anything!" This is the sorrow of education, Sun Wei commented. On another occasion, Sun Wei had dinner with friends. During the dinner, a girl studying in the computer department of a university in Taicheng suddenly asked Sun Wei what a domain name is. "Oh, my God! Computer majors don't even know the domain name, sweat! " Last time, Sun Wei recruited employees. "I only look at the ability of employees, not academic qualifications. A few days ago, a computer undergraduate came to apply. I asked him what he could do, but he didn't know anything. I really doubt that his diploma is fake! " When discussing this issue, Sun Wei also said that education is not important, but it is important to master more knowledge. He spends time studying almost every day. He lamented: "The society is developing too fast. Today's high technology may fall behind tomorrow. Only by continuous learning can we keep up with the times! "
