In a recent interview with the LA Times, Victor Koo, the founder of China’s most popular video sharing service, Youku.com, revealed the roots of his business vision. Born in Hong Kong and schooled in Australia and America, Koo says one of his primary business roles models early on was Apple computer’s Steve Jobs.
As for fighting against the ever widening shadow that is Google and its rival service YouTube.com, Koo is rather matter fact. Regarding Google’s recent threat to exit China due to security and free speech concerns, Koo said, “When dealing with this environment, you have to be ready to work within the rules.”
