Dare to swallow

At the age of eight, he immigrated from Shanghai to New York with his father. Before, he always thought that the United States was a paradise on earth, but when he really got here, he realized profoundly that this is just the beginning of a hard time. Because he could not speak English, he was forced to fall from the third grade to the first grade; because his parents were treated unfairly and his income was very low, he often had a full meal and hunger; because he was a yellow man, he was white at school. Discrimination, which exposes him to the pain that others cannot imagine. However, the sufferings he experienced as a child have tempered his steel will and allowed him to develop a strong and independent character.

After graduating from Queen's College, he did not choose to further his studies, but directly entered the society. Because he does not like traditional American education, he thinks it is a waste of time. Of course, there is another reason. His academic performance is not ideal. His parents no longer have any big hopes for him. Despite this, he still wants to do something, and proves with reality that he is no worse than others.

Soon after, he got a programmer's job at Columbia University's Electronic Research Laboratory. Although he only started to fight, he did very seriously and became interested in writing programs. After a period of study and research, he mastered the skill skillfully. Subsequently, he decisively left Columbia University and came to Standard Data Corporation, specializing in software work. In the process of developing software, he suddenly developed a business idea, he wants to be the second Bill Gates.

In the spring of 1976, the long-awaited opportunity finally came. A Swiss international software company called CA wanted to find an agent in the United States to sell the large-scale computer software they produced. However, due to the unknown future of this product, and looking for several companies to cooperate, they will reach an agreement in the future. In this case, he volunteered and took the job. He co-founded CA International Software Company with three other friends and was affiliated with Swiss CA to become its subsidiary.

The initial road to entrepreneurship was tough. In an office on Madison Avenue in Manhattan, there was nothing but a signboard, two computers, and four people. In order to pay the rent, he had to work while laying carpets in the lounge of the building and hanging mirrors in the corridor to earn extra money. Although the company's conditions are not satisfactory, it does not hinder his determination to start a business. Through market research, he was pleasantly surprised to find that although Microsoft is the leader in computer software, they mainly operate PC operating systems, and do not involve enterprise management software in the field of mainframe and client server applications. His company has reserved a certain amount of space for its survival. Therefore, he seized this opportunity, quickly occupied the market and developed more than 200 customers.

The time is four years, his CA software company has a small reputation in the United States, and also made a lot of money. However, he is not satisfied with this small achievement. As a software manufacturer, he knows that there are many well-known software companies in the United States. In this fiercely competitive IT industry, they are not annexed by others, or they are swallowing others. If you want to survive for a long time, you can only grow your own strength and become a giant like Microsoft, and take the initiative firmly in your own hands. In order to get rid of the control of others and have his own independent software company, he made a bold decision to buy the Swiss head office for $2.8 million and realized the great dream of snake swallowing. The move caused a huge sensation in New York, which made the industry look impressive and did not dare to ignore its strength. Of course, this is only the beginning. After swallowing the first elephant, his appetite has become bigger and bigger. Using the stocks issued by the company, he has acquired more than 20 well-known software companies, such as: Capex. Uccel, ADR, Cullient, Online, ASK Group, etc. quickly developed from a worthless small company to become the world's fourth largest software developer, and joined the Microsoft company.

This legendary figure is Wang Jialian, the founder of the international joint computer company with IT Tiehan. Although his personal assets are not as good as Bill Gates, when it comes to IT elites, people are always used to comparing Wang Jialian with Bill Gates. The story of Wang Jialian tells us that a person who has the ambition of snake swallowing and dare to meet all kinds of challenges, even if you have nothing, can achieve a great earth-shattering career.
