Obviously, the fascinating is just beginning.
From the point of view of the function and contribution, the Microsoft advanced technology center and XianTong Fairchild Semiconductor company (Semiconductor)-the latter were matched by a qualitative decay was the world's most innovative spirit and talent force of high-tech enterprises. XianTong information technology industry, to the United States to the effect of digital new world was so large, that apple CEO Steve? Steve jobs will it compared to "mature dandelion" : as long as gently blows, entrepreneurial spirit of the seeds will be with the wind to the distance. The 1980 s, including Intel, AMD, silicon valley, more than half of the semiconductor company directly or indirectly emerged from XianTong.
For eight years, the Microsoft advanced technology center is to experience the joy of success, and at the same time also experienced "ShanChongShuiFu doubt have no way to" confusion, and the external cause internal hard to perfect match of all of the ambition to regret. For

Entrepreneurial journey
overture
June 11, 2010, is located in Beijing morning your sigma Microsoft Asia academy of building, fake oakley asian fit sunglasses people continue to in the telephone, and a mixed in both Chinese and English to a day of work. At this time, in a probe to the moon "(called" Moonshoot) rooms, ZhangHongJiang and his four engineering director is a unprecedented difficult discussion.
"Before the meeting for everybody ready, all private thoughts to put mesa talking about." The discussions were later called "the academy ZhangHongJiang Come to Jesus Meeting" (American slang, the effect is the open Meeting).
ZhangHongJiang is the "showdown" the originator. In addition to the four member under general, ZhangHongJiang also please to Microsoft research Asia Pacific group's two human resources director to make coordination, to ensure that the meeting in difficult discussion it can be sustained.
All the "spread out" to "terrible" idea focused on a point on the academy: how far will? Its mission is complete?
"This is not happening." The founder of the academy of ZhangHongJiang spoke his mind answer-from just began to a project to bring up one by one, the team, and has a team of success with products from the academy, "graduate" fit into Microsoft existing product line.
"So, went a circle, we're very likely to return to the origin and start working on the project." But, in ZhangHongJiang opinion, back to the origin of the academy after seven years ago, will not be the appearance, but into the "2.0" era. Microsoft And this, perhaps can be regarded as a kind of business.
"I am in the Microsoft business two." Microsoft Asia academy of ZhangHongJiang was in the DuoGe occasions such mention. Do a technical background is not good at the ZhangHongJiang story, but good at simply the nature of things summary.
ZhangHongJiang referring to "start" twice, it is respectively in 1998, create Microsoft China research institute (2001 upgrade for Microsoft Asia research institute, hereinafter referred to as "institute") and in 2003 founded the Microsoft advanced technology center. Most listeners to salt: Microsoft word as a giant, its brand, mechanism are ready-made, any talk about business? Even if the venture entrepreneurs, the availability of resources and other is difficult to look the startup company a back-in such a company, how would I know how the entrepreneurs of hard and intertwine?
Perhaps is out of these technology elite steadfast style, low-key, their "starting" story little-known. In resources and brand, academy, perhaps more than the small company in business period have more power, but can't see outside, fake oakleys and many of the business is "grassroots" same, academy constantly by the same topic and torture--survival or perish?
"Even a small appear among the accident, may lead to the agency fee." An early on to join the Microsoft of engineers so evaluation.
"Die" not happened.
In a few short in 67, a mere twenty DuoRen from Microsoft, from the technical transformation project to start to the current development, the scale of the hundreds of people, and five product line for Microsoft in China set up product research and development team. However, the Microsoft of achievement is more than just that.
"The academy of engineering institute hatch, and the research and development group." hatch Microsoft research Asia Pacific group chairman zhang evaluation way.
Now, in the research and development group of more than 3000 people, most of the "" army team and staff from Microsoft. Some employees from the academy of go out, join a new team, which later became the backbone of the research and development groups; Some teams are from Microsoft "graduated" after gradually grow, Microsoft Asia business software group, advertising platform department and Microsoft China server and development tools such as group is a very good example.
"Graduate" is not always with joy. "Every at this time, I'm filled with pride and some about the complex, perhaps is the mood to send away graduates teacher or watched daughter married father was able to experience." ZhangHongJiang said.
When the case again and again to happen, these people can't help but ask yourself: tireless existing academy mission is??????? Will there be a day, everyone from the "school" graduate? And then the academy of engineering is completed the mission?
