在技术和产品路线上的扎实经营，让这位搜狐的创始人迎来了创业以来最为轻松的时刻。
'It is the most light-hearted time ever in history.' 'I spend less time in work now;what I need to do is to keep hold to key issues.' 'I enjoy my work.' Charles Zhang,founder of China's leading Internet company Sohu.com Inc.(Sohu) ,has every reason to say so. According to Sohu's financial report of the first quarter in 2009,its revenue reached US$115.7 million,up 36% compared to the same period last year,far beyond investors' expectations during the economic downturn. And its share price jumped by 20%,reaching US$70 at highest this May. More excitedly,a month before,ChangYou.com Limited(NASDAQ:Cyou) ,an online game developer and operator under Sohu,staged a successful spin-off listing at the New York Stock Exchange. Such performances resulted from Charles' concepts that the company should be under the control of its founders,thus allowing the management to have a say at the board. He also promotes quite a few local elites as he believes local talents understand local users better. Unbeknownst which products will win the future,Sohu has been devoted to expanding product lines and improving user experience with advanced technologies. But what is always true is that those constantly investing in the future will be built to last.
