Finally, got some time finished “SocialNetwork”. And learned something about angel investor.
I did some research about the founders of the facebook, interestingly most people graduated magna cum laude.
This reminds me a story happened in a university which could be considered as an equivalent of Harvard in mainland PRC. A student opened an online fruit shopping website on campus, and earned some money and even started to hire people work for him. Then the student was interviewed by local TV, and Tax guys came to ask for tax, and the professor asked him to stop the business since that was not relevant to his “research study”. And the business was shut down.
I do not know what happened to that student there after, but I am pretty sure he could not graduate with any honor.
What if, the university could let him continue his business if not encourage; What if, there were some angel investor who could help him to expand this business to all the universities in that city, and then all the universities in that nation, and then…
This nation annually encourages over millions of people to pass the exam and get a low paid job and could almost never be fired; but could not allow a single entrepreneur to grow his little seed.
