About choices destiny, I thought of a close-up example I observed. In 2013, Baidu acquired 91 Assistant for a sky-high price of $1.9 billion. Shortly after, SoftBank, known for its sharp instincts and FOMO tendencies, led a $1 billion valuation investment in Wandoujia, the 'second dragon' of this sector, in early 2014. This directly propelled Wandoujia to become one of the most talked-about mobile internet startups at the time. People were even debating at Beta Café in Zhongguancun whether Wandoujia or Toutiao had a brighter future. Back then, several colleagues who left my company chose to join Wandoujia. A few others didn’t perform well in their Wandoujia interviews and ended up "having to" join the somewhat "uncool" Toutiao. From that moment, the gears of destiny ⚙️ began to turn… Two years later, Wandoujia was sold to Alibaba for $200 million. That same year, ByteDance internally launched the first version of Douyin, whose valuation has since multiplied hundreds of times.
