Zoom Business Success Story

Eric Yuan came to the U.S. from China in the mid ’90s to pursue the internet
boom—but it took a while to get here. The first eight times he applied for a
visa, he was denied. Finally, on the ninth attempt, he was approved, but the
process lasted two years. 

In 2012, after working for a Silicon Valley communication startup for years
prior, Yuan founded the communication platform Zoom. In an interview with
Thrive Global, Yuan says that Zoom started as a daydream, a solution to a
long-distance relationship that required a 10-hour train ride to see the other.[1] 

Now, Zoom is used by more than 750,000 companies to keep their teams
connected through video and audio conferencing, collaborative workspaces,
chat, and more. The real-time, face-to-face aspect of Zoom makes it easier for
companies to stay in touch, so people can easily work from home or stay
connected while working remotely or across several office locations.

“Taking care of business by Bachman Turner Overdrive?”
You get up every morning from your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above and people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time, you can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed, look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
And I'll be taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime, work out
If it were easy as fishin' you could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second-hand guitar, chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
People see you having fun just a-lying in the sun
Tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid, and we're all self-employed
We love to work at nothing all day
And we be taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
We be been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime
Mercy
Whoo
All right
Take good care of my business
When I'm away, every day
Whoo
They get up every morning from their alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above and people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time, you can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed, look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
And I be taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime, take care
Takin' care of business, whoo
Takin' care of business
