CEO of Internet companies in China, the Tao is to look less full Internet genes of people. He is a tall, middle-aged man is not tall Shanghai, outside the shirt sleeve of a wool vest, but it can not seem stable enough fashion, when standing in front of the camera will be a bit uncomfortable; although the outside world will always be public comment likened China's Yelp, Groupon add Foursquare, but they are not keen to talk Tao these concepts, he does not like to use the Internet aura packaging itself, but prefers to public comment as a real business - with In his words, and open a restaurant, running factories no different. Tao grew up in Shanghai's commercial and cultural influence grew, graduated from the Wharton School, serving in a US IT consulting company ERP department before returning. In 2003, when he decided to return to Shanghai founded public comment time had 10 years to study and work in the United States, venture actually comes from his first hobby to look for food. Early experiences to some extent determines the path of entrepreneurship Tao later, perhaps after achieving financial freedom and then choose to go into business to make Tao who has a young entrepreneurs who have the hardest calm and patience; and in Shanghai commercial culture and in the United States grew by more than 10 years of Internet experience also made him more clearly Nike Air Max Unisex know what is the nature of business; Nike Air Max Womens this temperament but also laid the public comment for this company in eight years after the tone. Looking back now, Zhang Tao original business idea is really simple. Tao is an exquisite quality of life and mood of the people, found that even after returning to Shanghai to always eat eat several hotels, associate in the United States had seen the restaurant on the index guidelines, 2003, Tao began to try Comments by users move the restaurant information on the Internet. The time to do this on a global scale no precedent. Until 2004, dubbed America's 'public comment' of Yelp was founded in San Francisco. The Internet is far from universal in 2003, using the Internet to do business reviews or do a trial and error thing. Initially just a try, because the structure of that time restrained and Internet users on the Chinese character partial younger Tao himself did not even determine such model can not do. Verification and found that although the Chinese people introverted, but still willing to express on the Internet; in Shanghai relatively well-developed business environment, lined with restaurants to where to eat and drink so that users naturally have the desire to select and compare; it also allows 张涛坚 letter one of his principles: Be sure to choose the kind of reviews do intense competition, information-rich and user needs in the field often make a choice.

Such hard work for over a year, until the end of 2004, the public comment covering more than 20 major cities, the next thing to consider is how to find a profit model. However, even at that time, Zhang Tao and his public comment in addition to the pattern looks relatively new addition, is still a long way from the mainstream of Chinese Internet small business, 'the idea is very good, rely on profits?' As an investment People at that time the most important questions for public comment. Cash flow is king in 2004, the public comment network in the investor does seem there is not 'sexy' - not to mention the 2004 Chinese Internet users access to only 2015 Latest Nike Shoes 80 million total, which willing to drink write reviews even scarcer, the flow that point of public comment could not move large advertisers to advertise in the 'flow = ad = revenues' in 2004, in the eyes of some investors, the value of public comment and even far less than a site navigation station realized more direct. Before that, the development of public comment has been to rely on their own money is the founder of several start-up capital that point, since financing is hard to find, trying to find a profit model that the website will become a life and death choice.
