A social network has pushed Zuckerberg, a 27 year old billionaire, to the cusp of the storm.

But in his own way, he changed the way people make friends all over the world.

Speech:

At the beginning, I was editing the website. I wrote the first version. In fact, we never had the second version.

For the most part of the last academic year, I spent most of my time expanding the website scale to cope with the increasing number of visits, so as to continue to expand the coverage, add more schools, and build a network infrastructure.

Later, we seized the opportunity to hire some talented people.

Last year we spent most of our time working around my table, which was very interesting.

I remember that in February, we had our own office and everyone moved there. It was interesting.

For the first time in my life, when I looked up, I saw a team of highly intelligent engineers working for me, creating new products in a different way than before.

I feel very proud.

At that time, my roommate, Dustin and some others, sat down to carry out a project step by step, complete it, and then design the next project.

We seldom seek help from others, but we all try to find a way to change this situation, especially when you are one of those people who are in the process. That is to say, if we have eight talents, how can we make them work the most efficiently?

For example, abandoning the continuous operation mode, this is not to say that a person develops a high school product here, that person is building an album, and another person is promoting the project next week.

It is how to maximize their intelligence.

This is an interesting question, but I can't give you any know-how, because I have to explore for a few years.

But I think Jim (Jim Breyer, Facebook investor) has a strong view on how to mobilize the strength between people.

I think you have to stand at a higher angle to imagine future prospects. You have to have a research team that can develop the products you are developing together, and then you need a finance department, or something else that you didn't think needed before.

For example, to run a website to make the facilities work, to maintain a twenty or thirty development team. After having the manpower, you have to supervise their work, but they cannot control them too much.

They are very smart people, we hire them because they have excellent ideas and independent research and development capabilities, but you have to make sure that these ideas and products are in line with standards, or are excellent in product and research and development.
