Reborn: A Tech Mogul Whose Journey Began with Temple Run

In 2012, China's internet industry entered the age of giants, and the battle lines were drawn.

Meng Nan, reborn, had already scored a dimensional victory on another battlefield.

In a Silicon Valley garage, armed with a Thiel Fellowship, he forged a gaming empire with Temple Run and Minecraft, and a Saudi prince became his partner.

While the giants were locked in fierce competition at home, Meng Nan returned to China with his capital and quietly laid the groundwork for Xiaohongshu, a major move hidden from everyone’s view.

Capital from Sequoia and IDG cleared the way for him, while Tencent and NetEase competed to get a piece of his projects.

He wasn’t a challenger to the giants. He was the creator of a new giant.

When a trillion-yuan empire finally rose, Meng Nan realized that his eye for “recruiting talent” was always remarkably good:

From his young deskmate to his colleagues, the women who shone throughout his life became the most captivating pieces in his business and entertainment empire.

“Don’t get the wrong idea. I’m not here to challenge anyone.”

“This era needs a new giant. And that’s me.”
