famous

1998 10 was named one of the "50 digital heroes in the world" by Time magazine, 1999-2001was named "Top Ten IT Man of the Year" by China Youth Daily for three consecutive years,1999.

On June 5th, 2005, at 65438, the summit forum of "New Perspective of China in 2005" held by Sohu Company was held in Beijing. The forum discussed many problems of China's social economy in the period of internationalization, future development and transformation in 2005. Zhang Chaoyang, Chairman and CEO of Sohu Board of Directors, delivered a wonderful speech.

Zhang Chaoyang said: "The Internet has gone through the first decade, from the first wave 1996 to 1997, the exploration of business model to the climax of 1998 and 1999. This is the first wave, which has produced quite a few enterprises, and of course many enterprises have failed. Fortunately, there are only three portals that can get the favor of the capital market first. There may be fewer opportunities in the future, but it can also produce some enterprises. After years, seven years or six years, the first three portals have formed a considerable scale and have enough funds to develop their own brands. After the arrival of the second wave of assets, a large number of enterprises produced by 1998 and 1999 died, but the remaining tenacious enterprises survived except the three major portals, and finally ushered in the second wave of the capital market, which can be said to be the second wave of the capital market. However, there are more and more applications and practices of the Internet. Everyone's online behavior ranges from simply watching the news to sending emails to young people who surf the Internet. This is the progress of the market. Enterprises that have survived the severe winter of capital are now gradually getting a large number of venture capital listed, which leads to the second wave of capital. Internet companies in China suddenly have a lot of money and a clear business model, but many aspects still need to be explored. "

On such an important occasion, Zhang Chaoyang's speech is symbolic. At least in Zhang Chaoyang's own view, he, who knows the company's operation best, has taken the top spot in success and is qualified to sum up history, look forward to the future and calmly talk about several macro topics in the industry. Does Zhang Chaoyang really set an example for the younger generation eager to create miracles? Is Zhang Chaoyang really a hero? Our reporter recently interviewed Zhang Chaoyang, hoping to judge his current situation from his words and interpret this new wealth representative who often puts on a show.
