"Well, I love you without regret and respect the end of the story."
In 2018, Mao Kankan, CEO of Wanjia E-sports, committed suicide by turning on gas at home, and he posted his last message to the circle of friends.
Mao Kankan was in debt for tens of millions of dollars in e-sports and finally chose to commit suicide, what did he experience? Why tens of millions of debts?
Computer talent
Mao Kankan was born in Beijing Courtyard in 1983 and has been very naughty since he was a child.
In the fifth grade, his father bought a computer for Mao Kankan, which was still a rarity for most people at that time, and Mao Kankan has been addicted to computers ever since.
It didn't take long for him to learn to play with computers, and he was very proficient in playing various games for a few days, and not only that, he also learned computer knowledge on his own.
After indulging in computer games, he never passed his grades, and every time he was drowsy in class, he had no interest at all.
His parents repeatedly scolded him for not playing games all day, but he didn't take it seriously, and by the time he was 12, he was already proficient in software.
At the age of 14, he began experimenting with publishing articles in Popular Software based on what he had learned, which was remarkable for a 14-year-old.
Choose to drop out
In 1995, the Internet already had a certain foundation in China, and in this year, China's first Internet company, Yinghaiwei, was established, and the company's Yinghaiwei Time and Space Forum was very popular at that time.
As an Internet obsessive, Mao Kankan is naturally very concerned, and with his excellent Internet knowledge, he soon became the youngest BBS moderator.
His parents saw that he was not doing serious work, and he really couldn't do anything about him, and he usually surfed the Internet at home and didn't hang out with his classmates, and his mind had long exceeded that of his peers.
As a forum moderator, he often organizes offline meetings or activities, and everyone is very surprised to find that the moderator is actually a junior high school student who has not dried up.
What's even more incredible to them is that Mao Kankan often takes people in the forum to participate in various computer competitions and wins many championships.
Seeing that Mao Kankan had already entered high school, but his studies were very poor, Mao Kankan, who had no intention of studying, had the idea of dropping out.
The parents did not agree to ten thousand, but they did not even have the qualifications for the college entrance examination at all, and the mother felt that now that her son is obsessed with computers, it is a good thing to do one thing well.
Since then, he has dropped out of school to devote himself to studying computers.
Start a business
After dropping out of school, Mao began to teach himself various computer literacy, and in 2000 he took the Microsoft and Cisco computer certification exams and passed both exams.
You must know that these two certificates were particularly high in gold content at that time, and few people had this certificate, and with these two certificates, Mao Kankan easily entered a website company.
After staying for a while, he learned everything and quit the company, and in the next few years he changed several companies, but all of them were related to computers.
After several years of experience, he felt that working for others was not a long-term thing, so he came up with the idea of starting a business.
In 2004, at the age of 21, Mao Kankan founded his own company, Majoy, which launched a "live-action digital game" product.
As soon as the product was proposed, it was loved by everyone, and at that time this kind of gameplay was very advanced, and everyone was curious, so since the launch of this product, his company has made a lot of money.
At the age of 23, he successfully earned 60 million with this product, became famous, and was also on the "Chinese Entrepreneur", this magazine can be on the well-known entrepreneurs, he can be on this magazine is really powerful.
Entrepreneurial failure
After Mao Kankan's success was reported by the media, Mao Kankan became a celebrity, and he was invited to many programs to talk about his entrepreneurial experience.
People call Mao Kankan, Li Xiang, Gao Ran and Dai Zhikang the "Four Young Men of Beijing IT".
It was also at this time that Mao Kankan's mentality also changed, he became very proud, and his actions became self-sufficient.
But whenever his employees did not do a good job, he would severely reprimand, and the people of the company began to fear him.
With the development of the Internet, it is not uncommon for Mao Kankan to launch live-action CS games, many companies have also launched the same game, Mao Kankan's performance has also plummeted, and the company's employees have also left one after another.
The company soon collapsed, Mao Kankan could not accept this gap, became depressed, and soon developed depression, and could only sleep on sleeping pills every night.
After this failure, it took him a long time to come out, he calmed down, thought about his mistakes, and so he started two businesses but failed.
Choose suicide
With the encouragement of his friends, he regained his confidence to work for a friend's company, and he began to enter the esports industry and work with peace of mind.
At that time, the e-sports industry was relatively unpopular in China, but after he came into contact with e-sports, he found that the e-sports industry was very profitable, and he helped his friends make a lot of money at his friend's company.
Seeing that the esports industry is so profitable, Mao Kankan wants to start his own business, and he feels that this is a good time for him to make a comeback.
So he established Wanjia E-sports, but the e-sports industry burned money, and it didn't take long for the investment money to be spent, seeing that his company had been losing money, and later Longwei Media was interested in acquiring Wanjia E-sports.
But then it still failed, and in 2017, Wanjia E-sports owed tens of millions of debts, and finally the company went bankrupt.
Several entrepreneurial failures made Mao Kankan begin to doubt himself, coupled with the fact that he owed so much money, he could not withstand the pressure, and on January 24, 2018, 35-year-old Mao Kankan chose to commit suicide.

"Well, I love you without regret and respect the end of the story."
