Just listen to this brief introduction, know the Silicon Valley star behind the characters experience must be a lot of legends, that is also the case, at one point someone compare it with past jobs, also referred to as the "iron man of Silicon Valley". This figure is obviously good topic for biographers, it's not, Bloomberg columnist Ashley Vance (Ashlee Vance) after 18 months of careful preparation, careful survey, and even touched on the public image of the extremely demanding of horse gram to receive one-on-one interview, an interview with totals more than 40 hours. Eventually, Ashley Vance's book, Elon Musk:Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic success came out of the Future.
The good news is, the translation of the Chinese version of this work has now been completed and is about to publish Chinese version titled iron man in Silicon Valley: Andy Herron-musk biography. While, worth concern of is, the book published party in issued zhiqian, also found has Hammer technology CEO Luo Yonghao for its for sequence, Luo Yonghao in read English manuscript Hou, for musk of Chinese version biography wrote has a article name for Silicon Valley steel man: Andy Herron-horse Republika grams of adventure life of recommended sequence, in which published has himself on this book of feel, and on musk of appreciates of love.
Luo Yonghao's endorsement has been exposed in the original version before the official release, of interest to technology enthusiasts may wish to read the preamble to the Luo Yonghao, Jiejie.
Luo Yonghao preamble text:
The Internet boom and resulting quality of life improved significantly, often allows us to live in some fantasy feelings: our world seems to walk in the light of the rapid development of science and technology on the road.
But on the other side, experience the steam engine, train, automobile, electric power, telephone, cable, computer, rocket after such a great invention, human science and technology has no revolutionary breakthrough for decades. This world of great progress in the world of bits and atoms piaffe also issued bide·dier "we wanted flying cars, only got 140 characters" such a feeling.
It's true, the elite of our time, almost all over the Internet. After the start of the industrial revolution more than 200 years, the scientist, inventor and industrialist heroines hot, seemed very far away from us. In the late 1960 of the 20th century, the first after the moon landing is completed, once considered ordinary people affordable access to Star Trek, has not become a reality, but still looks a long way off.
Hot nationwide enterprise in China today, almost all Internet projects. Of course there's nothing wrong with the Internet (we love the Internet), but as jiefu·hanmo Bucher puts it, "our generation's best minds, are thinking about how to get people to click on ads, that's too bad. "In 2012, I try to follow my science and technology industrial dreams, in the investment community have often heard phrase was," do business is obsolete, and so bitter, or Internet good, financing is easy. "Entrepreneurs often heard is," do business is obsolete, and so bitter, or Internet OK, cheating is easy. ”
Several times before and during the industrial revolution and industrialists are in different situations, today's mobile Internet business, due to catch up with the good times, because of the venture capital industry "dumb money many people", making entrepreneurs even as development goes wrong, at best, is experiencing some fatigue, worry, and anxiety. In the eyes of many irresponsible entrepreneurs, even if the company finally went belly up, was just a face. Early industrialists that frequently catch the bottom of pressure, as well as similar experiences Union trouble, gang extortion, blackmail the Government careers of such suffering, today's entrepreneurs are usually not appreciate.
But even in mediocre times of happiness as they are today, there are full of adventure and enterprising spirit of the entrepreneur, won after great success and wealth in the secular sense, still under the inner sense of purpose driven, at all the money and energy, regardless of the consequences to realize their business dreams.
Andy Herron-horse Gram is one such entrepreneur. He was 17 years old a man to leave South Africa to Canada looking for a new life, 21 years old get a scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania United States study, at the age of 28 for 300 million dollars sold his first Internet company founded by, and at the age of 31 with $ 1.5 billion selling his second Internet company and co-founder of bide·dier.
Then, he took all his possessions to join the industry, committed suicide while engaged in Aeronautics and Astronautics, like electric cars and solar energy, three long-term stagnation of the high-tech industry. The most difficult time, facing the danger of collapse of the two companies at the same time, it was mediocre as a crook for peddling false hopes. Finally, the pressure he endured unimaginable humiliation and, miraculously, the three companies make: Space x into the aerospace industry's most stable operators, Tesla has is the world's best-selling luxury electric cars, Solar City is currently the largest supplier of consumer commercial solar panel installation.
After completing this seemingly impossible task, he was a decent stay, also began trying to make ambitious people can migrate to Mars over the next 10 years plan. Promote world progress, drove the businessman, usually not fame and fortune, but a strong sense of mission and with an aura of heroism in dreams and ambitions, as well as a handful of people who value lifelong curiosity.
Today, Andy Herron-musk's career is still at risk, he may be in addition to the existing three companies also are interested in other projects and adventures to try again. He may have more success, may fail, you can be sure of is, the fear of failure is not his reason for trying a career.
United States technology correspondent Ashley Vance when writing this biography of the iron man in Silicon Valley were obtained and Andy Herron-musk I talk for more than 40 hours of opportunity, a lot of information associated with the Tesla and the Space x, are disclosed for the first time in this book.
Andy Herron-horse gram's life experiences, and countless great industrialist experiences that changed the world is the one that can be written into thousands of novels, after the screen, every look is still exciting, tale belongs to all mankind.
马斯克传记中文版将发行，锤子科技罗永浩作序 - 马斯克,罗永浩,SpaceX - IT资讯
IT资讯讯 5月5日消息，埃隆·马斯克无疑是当今硅谷最受欢迎的创业者之一，他先后创立了Zip2和X.com(PayPal)，已经成功发家致富，但却出人意料的选择再创业，如今剑指火星的火箭项目SpaceX、颠覆传统汽车的新能源汽车项目特斯拉，以及太阳能项目SolarCity。
光听这一句简短的介绍，就知道这位硅谷明星人物背后的经历一定有很多传奇色彩，事实也是这样，甚至一度有人将其与已逝的乔布斯相提并论，还称其为“硅谷钢铁侠”。这样的人物显然是传记作家们的好题材，这不，彭博社专栏作家阿什利-万斯(Ashlee Vance)在精心准备了18个月后，悉心调查采访，甚至打动了对公众形象要求极为苛刻的马斯克接收其一对一的专访，专访合计时间甚至超过了40小时。最终，阿什利-万斯的著作《Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future》成功问世。
好消息是，这本著作目前已经完成中文版的翻译并即将出版发行，中文版书名为《硅谷钢铁侠：埃隆-马斯克传》。同时，值得关注的是，该书出版方在发行之前，还找到了锤子科技CEO罗永浩为其作序，罗永浩在通读英文原稿后，为马斯克的中文版传记题写了一篇名为《硅谷钢铁侠：埃隆-马斯克的冒险人生》的推荐序，在其中发表了自己关于本书的感想，以及对马斯克的赞赏之情。
罗永浩的推荐序已公开，在原著正式发行前，感兴趣的科技爱好者们不妨读一下罗永浩的序言，先解解馋吧。
罗永浩序言原文：
互联网带来的繁荣景象和由此带来的对生活质量的显著改善，常常使得我们活在某种虚幻的感觉当中：我们的世界好像一直走在科技高速发展的光明道路上。
但从另一个方面看，经历了蒸汽机、火车、汽车、电灯、电话、电报、计算机、火箭这样的伟大发明之后，人类在科学技术上已经几十年都没有什么革命性的突破了。这种比特世界的巨大进步和原子世界的原地踏步，也使得彼得·蒂尔发出“我们曾经想要飞行的汽车，结果只得到140个字符”这样的感慨。
确实是这样，我们这个时代的精英，几乎全都扑在了互联网上。工业革命开始后的那两百多年，那个科学家、发明家和实业家英雄辈出的火热年代，仿佛离我们已经非常遥远。20世纪60年代末人类首次完成登月之后，一度被认为普通人也负担得起的星际旅行，至今也没有成为现实，而且看起来依然遥遥无期。
今天在中国火热无比的全民创业，几乎也全都是互联网项目。互联网当然没什么不好(我们热爱互联网)，但正如杰夫·汉默巴彻所说的那样，“我们这一代人中最优秀的头脑，都在思考如何让人们点击广告，这太糟糕了。”2012年，我尝试追寻我的科技实业梦想时，在投资界常听到的一句话是，“做实业已经过时了，何况又那么苦逼，还是互联网好啊，融资也容易。”而在创业者中常听到的则是，“做实业已经过时了，何况又那么苦逼，还是互联网好啊，骗钱也容易。”
和前几次工业革命时期实业家们的处境不同的是，今天的移动互联网创业，由于赶上了好时代，由于风险投资行业“人傻钱多”，使得创业者们即便发展不顺利，充其量也就是经历一些疲惫、烦恼和焦虑而已。在很多不负责任的创业者眼中看来，就算公司最后倒闭了，也仅仅是一个面子问题罢了。早期实业家们那种动辄搭上全部身家的巨大压力，以及类似遭遇工会捣乱、黑帮敲诈、政府勒索这样苦难的创业历程，今天的创业者们通常是体会不到的。
但即便是在今天这样平庸幸福的时代，也有些浑身充满冒险和进取精神的企业家，在获得了世俗意义上的巨大成功和财富之后，仍然在内心的使命感驱使之下，不惜投入全部的财力和精力，不计后果地去实现自己的实业梦想。
埃隆-马斯克就是这样的一个企业家。他17岁一个人离开南非的家去加拿大寻找新生活，21岁拿到宾夕法尼亚大学的奖学金到美国读书，28岁时以3亿美元卖掉了他创办的第一家互联网公司，31岁时以15亿美元卖掉了他和彼得·蒂尔联合创办的第二家互联网公司。
然后，他拿着自己全部的财产投身实业，自杀般地同时从事航空航天、电动汽车和太阳能这三个发展长期停滞不前的高科技行业。最艰苦的时候，面临其中两家企业同时倒闭的危险，也被庸众当作兜售虚假希望的骗子。最后，他忍受着难以想象的屈辱和压力，奇迹般地把这三家企业都做成了：Space X成为航空航天业最稳定的运营商，特斯拉已经是全球最酷最畅销的纯电动豪华汽车，Solar City目前是最大的消费者商用太阳能电池板安装供应商。
完成了这些看似绝无可能的任务之后，他不暇停留，又野心勃勃地开始了尝试让人类能够移民火星的未来10年计划。驱使这样的实业家推动世界进步的，通常不是名利，而是强烈的使命感和充满个人英雄主义色彩的梦想和野望，以及在极少数人身上可贵地伴随终生的好奇心。
今天，埃隆-马斯克所从事的事业依然存在风险，他可能会在现有的三个企业之外还对别的项目感兴趣并再度冒险去尝试。他也许会创造更大的成功，也许会失败，可以肯定的是，担心失败一定不是他放弃尝试某个事业的理由。
美国科技记者阿什利-万斯写作《硅谷钢铁侠》这本传记时，获得了和埃隆-马斯克本人长达40多个小时的谈话机会，很多与特斯拉和Space X相关的信息，都是在这本书中首次披露的。
埃隆-马斯克的人生经历，和无数改变世界的伟大实业家的经历一样，是那种可以被千百次地写进小说、搬上银幕后，每一次重看都依然激动人心的，属于全人类的传奇故事。
