Zhang Yiming likes to use coordinates and matrices to represent things. In the eyes of this taciturn geek, mathematics is the description of the most basic relationship between things.
Zhang Yiming is not a typical entrepreneur, including his view on success, which is very different from many ambitious entrepreneurs in this era. He doesn't like to talk about whether his company will go public in the future or how his company will make a profit. It seems hard for you to find that kind of thirst for money from other entrepreneurs.
He started his business several times, and his tireless work was only out of longing for challenges and interest in search. Only by doing something beneficial to users and society can he get excited. Yes, you can describe him as a free and pure adventurer.
