史蒂芬·哈蒙：我喜欢和网易的读者互动交流

我一直都笃信分享与学习的力量，而网易是一个绝佳的交流平台，我喜欢这里的人，也喜欢很他们互动交流。

我也坚信，我在网络产业15年的跌打滚爬，一定会激励企业家投资技术。10年前，当没有美国人相信中国将成为一个网络大国的时候，我就对中国网络市场的机遇进行了分析。如今，中国拥有3亿网民，我的预言实现了。同时，由于移动业务的发展，我认为中国的移动网络潜力无穷。

我从8岁开始就开始迷恋中国。还很小的时候，我就学习了中国功夫（截拳道和白鹤拳），李小龙也是我最早的偶像之一；我甚至还学习了亚洲哲学和思想。实际上，那时我甚至想进少林寺。

我的精髓一部分定然是中国文化，因为我一直尊重这个国度，这个民族。我很荣幸在中国有这么多人喜欢我，因为我真的很喜欢这里的人。

我的书广受欢迎，里面收入了好多故事，既有雅虎创始人杨致远，也有谷歌和亚马逊投资人John Doerr。

我到很多国家和人们讨论过如何创建科技公司。如果中国的读者也感兴趣，我也很愿意来为你们做一场演讲。

你们谦卑的朋友，

史蒂夫哈蒙

About being famous blogger on NetEase:

I've always believed in the power of sharing and learning and NetEase is a great place to connect, I enjoy the people and their interactions with me.

I am a big believer in encouraging entrepreneurs to build technology ventures, using the lessons I have learned in 15 years of being in the Internet industry. 10 years ago I wrote an analysis of the Chinese Internet market opportunity when nobody in the U.S. believed China would be a power online. That was when China had about 5 million people on the Web. Today, China has more than 300 million online, so my hunch was correct. Also, with mobile growth I think China has a lot more potential with mobile Web and it is exciting to be part of that.

Since I was about 8 years old I have been a fan of China. I studied kung fu as a kid (Jeet Kune Do and White Crane) and Bruce Lee was one of my first heroes, opening my eyes to Asian philosophy and thinking even when I was 8 years old. In fact, back then I wanted to join a Shaolin temple...;)

Part of my spirit must be Chinese because I have deep respect for the people and country. So it is really an honor to have many fans in China since I am a fan of people there!

My book was a bestseller and featured Jerry Yang (Yahoo founder), John Doerr (investor in Google and Amazon) and many more.

I have traveled the world and talked about how to build technology ventures on every continent. Perhaps if there's enough interest I will come to China and do a presentation about building technology ventures.

In all humility, your friend,

Steve Harmon
