People in the circle say this about her: "Deeply involved in half of China's Internet listings to the U.S., know your enemy and know yourself."

It is reported that ByteDance's acquisition of Musical.ly, Mu pupil game company, as well as several rounds of private equity financing, the total transaction amounted to more than a few billion dollars, the relevant process have Gao Zhun's deep participation.
It is also Gao Zhun's keen sense of smell in the capital market that has helped Byte win in some key negotiations. The most famous is the acquisition of Musical.ly.
Musical.ly, the predecessor of Jitterbug, is now the star product of ByteDance. But it was Byte's arch-rival, Racer, that first approached Musical.ly.
In the field of short video, Racer was the leader at that time, and ByteDance had just touched this field, the strength of the comparison between high and low.
But because the angel investor of musical.ly asked the buyer to take the other two overseas products (News Republic, Live.me), the fast hand side expressed strong opposition, byte jumping decisively seized the opportunity, and immediately out of the blue, and ultimately bought musical.ly at a valuation of $ 1 billion, laying the groundwork for their own in the short video field. Later on, it laid the foundation for its own success in the field of short video.
One of the facilitators behind this sensational merger was Gao Zhun.

What is Gao Zhun: 3 years of effective work 10,000 hours
Maternity leave did not delay the work
Read Gao Zhun's resume, some people envy her is a proper "workplace big female ceiling", some people take her as the direction of their own efforts in the future, and some people have questioned: she is gifted, well equipped, and has the right conditions, but she is not a good person. Question: she is talented, good conditions, ordinary people simply can not reach ....
But in fact, all the success in the world is not empty. Behind the scenes we can not see, Gao Zhun all the way, her achievements are by virtue of countless hours of hard work and perseverance to build up.

One of my favorite books is "Outliers: The Story of Success" by American author Malcolm Gladwell. ". In the book, it is said that in order for a person to be truly proficient in a field, in addition to talent, must also invest about 10,000 hours of effective training. Bill Gates. Gates had roughly 10,000 hours of programming before he founded Microsoft; Mozart, 10,000 hours of composing; Lang Lang, 10,000 hours of practicing the piano; and Joe Flom, our firm's title partner, 10,000 hours of working on anti-takeover projects that allowed us to break through tradition to where we are today.
I once introduced this book to the young lawyers in our firm. Someone asked, how many years do you expect us to reach 10,000 hours? I didn't have an answer. In fact, after I came back from the US in 2004, I worked 10,000 hours in three years, laying a solid foundation for my long-term front-line representation of outstanding Chinese companies in overseas listings.
Leaving the small world of university and entering the big world of society, you will find that very few people can have smooth sailing for a long time, while some can rise again and some may fall flat on their faces. Why?
Because of my work, I've had the honor of meeting and interacting with all kinds of accomplished people in many industries from the 50s to the 90s. I have found that all of these people have the same quality of resilience as they are said to have.
During the World Cup soccer season, Crow, the 33-year-old Portuguese star, faced a strong rival, Spain, and scored a solo goal to win the game, winning praise from his circle of friends around the world!
This is Crow Long-term hard work and hard training, over the age of the peak, still resilient results. crow said deserves to have something, always hard to come by. This is really the case. Happiness is all about struggle. You have a long road ahead of you, and it's inevitable that you'll have the impulsive mistakes or stumbles of youth, or that you'll still not be as good as you want to be even though you've worked a million times harder. Remember, only through perseverance can you overcome all difficulties and change your destiny.
In addition to this, Gao Zhun also shared the 5 elements of achievement in the workplace:
1. Dedication
2. Heartfelt service attitude
3. Ability to keep learning
4. Long-term diligence and perseverance
5. Being a passionate person full of positive energy

Even if you come from Peking University, you've never stopped, you're still exploring and growing, and it's really worth learning from!
