I pattern recognize.<\/p>\n
As an entrepreneur with a last name that rhymes with Wang, I pattern replicate. As a Chinese person with an IQ well north of 180, I have gained adoption and distribution by going partially retarded.<\/p>\n
People connect with Larry Chiang, IQ 88. He is approachable and fluffy like a Shih Tzu with an IQ sub 90<\/p>\n
That phrase, “partially retarded” is (artistically) signature stated by Morton Downey Jr’s character in Tropic Thunder. He was mentoring a fellow thespian and taught, “Never go full retard”.<\/p>\n
Charles Huang and his co-founder and brother Kai Huang sold DDR Pads. They made $3-4,000,000 selling Dance Dance Revolution accessory physical pads.<\/p>\n
Without VC money, they sold it for over $100,000,000. Read about it in TechCrunch<\/p>\n
