That was in the 90's of the last century, a few years ago, he was on the plane and happened to sit in one side of China's online games have a lot of opportunities, but after the Tang Tao has been in the domestic investment honk Niu game, very good development. So, this man and Tang Tao to negotiate a English version. Later, Tang Tao investment of this man, he is now the founder of MMOABC.

In 2001 the Internet bubble burst, Tang Tao from the United States back to Beijing, found that the company has only one. At that time, Beijing 's hottest, Tang Tao saw that the people came to sit but not open air conditioning, asked him what he asked, answer: " save money. " Later, he became the general manager of the network better. " I only investments that have failed, but more determined, more ambitious people. Have you ever noticed, angel investors, most have their own ' Mai City ', go out from there, to see the success or failure of the moment, cherish life, cherish the opportunity. Than success, I believe that failure. " Tang Tao is the difficulties he encountered in the entrepreneurial process, and the process of overcoming difficulties, make him more understanding of each stage of business enterprise development needs, more about entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs also enjoy life with a little leverage. Because enjoyment, so he pay attention to summing up the details of the peer investment, pay attention to the development of the frontier, and all areas of business change. " Really a job people know how to help the team, how to help them to do research and development, to open up the market ". In China, Tang Tao day sleep no more than 5 hours, for a case, people over the age of 40 to 3 days and 3 nights sleepless. After the ice hockey, rest for two or three hours and then visited a city, help a group of entrepreneurs is his normal life, just because he enjoyed the whole combat, he played in the mind " is willing to help those heroes failed ".
