High school story
1976 smashed the gang of four. 1977 In May, a girl from a neighboring village dropped out of high school and went home. With the help of my mother, Yu entered high school. Because I stayed at home for nearly a year, when I entered high school, the first year of high school was over immediately, while the first year of high school was two years. Therefore, I actually read only one year of high school. After entering high school, my grades have been lagging behind other students in my class. After studying for a year, the teacher asked everyone to take the college entrance examination. Because of his love of learning, Yu signed up for the college entrance examination with everyone, even though he only attended high school for one year. [8]
Three college entrance examinations
The first time: I reviewed the high school curriculum for about 10 months, and took the college entrance examination 1978. The admission score was actually very low at that time. The foreign language admission score of Changshu Normal University he applied for was 38, but he scored only 33 in English, and all other subjects were not satisfactory.

The second time: after failing the college entrance examination, Yu was not particularly disappointed, and his family did not give him any pressure. Anyway, he works in the countryside. I drove a tractor at home, transplanted rice and cut rice, and later went to junior high school as a substitute teacher. 1979, I took the college entrance examination again. His total score exceeded the admission score, but he only got 55 points in English, but the admission score of Changshu Normal University became 60 points, and he failed again.
The third time: 1980 college entrance examination begins. The English exam took two hours, while the rest only took 40 minutes to hand in the paper. Yu's English teacher was furious and slapped Yu, saying that you had a good chance to be admitted to Peking University, but you blew it yourself. He thinks that Yu must have failed the exam by handing in his papers so soon. However, it really only takes 40 minutes.
After the results of the college entrance examination came out, I got 95 points in English, with a total score of 387. At that time, the admission score of Peking University was 380 points. When filling in the volunteer, the teacher told Yu that if you want to go to Peking University, you must pass Chinese, otherwise Peking University will not want you, but Yu's Chinese score is 58. I didn't dare to write and fill in Peking University, but the teacher helped him fill in his volunteers.
1980 at the end of August, almost all of Yu's classmates got the admission notice, but he didn't receive anything. Traditionally, Peking University was the first to send the admission notice, and the teacher said that Yu was probably hopeless. At that time, I was really uncomfortable. One day, he was growing vegetables in the field with his mother. The brigade found Yu and said there was a call from the county.
I rushed over, and the county education director told me that your admission notice had come down. I asked him which school he was in, but he deliberately said he didn't know. When I learned that it was Peking University, I was ecstatic. He ran to the middle of the road like Fan Jinzhong, jumping and jumping together with two students who were admitted to the university, and even the big truck stopped. [9]
Peking university experience
Yu is being interviewed.
In Peking University, Yu is the only student in the class who comes from the countryside. I didn't speak Mandarin at first, but I was transferred from Class A to Class C, which was very poor. In most people's eyes, Yu is a taciturn and neglected underachiever, but the love that others talk about is a complete vacuum for him. "In five years at Peking University, no girl ever loved me." He said. So, loneliness, patience, tenacity ... he has all the qualities to temper people. He said that his desire for love made him "want to jump on any girl". It is obviously exaggerated, but it still describes his state of mind at that time. [4]
During my four years in Peking University, I read all kinds of literature, philosophy, social science and other natural science works that I can understand every day. When I graduated in four years, I read a lot of books, but English books became the second thing. Therefore, during his four years in Peking University, he learned English badly. During the placement, 50 students were divided into three classes. I was assigned to Class A because I did well in the English exam. A month later, I was transferred to Class C. Class C is called "Speech Hearing Impaired Class". When I was a junior, I was suspended from school for a year because of tuberculosis.
1985 graduated from Peking University and stayed as a foreign language teacher. When he graduated from college, Yu was still at the bottom of his class. However, at that time, he already had a good attitude. I know I can't compare with my classmates intellectually, but I have one ability, that is, continuous efforts. During his teaching, Yu fell in love for the first time. According to his own memory, it was19 at 9: 00 pm on March 26th, 1986, when he was an English teacher at Peking University. [4] [ 10]
Because doing training outside angered the school, Peking University gave him a punishment at that time. He found it boring to stay, so he chose to leave. It was the end of 199 1 and he was about to turn 30. Walking out of Peking University became a watershed in his life.
"Peking University kicked me. I was full of resentment, and now I am full of gratitude. " Yu said, "If I keep mixing, I may be an associate professor in the English Department of Peking University now."
These fortunes and misfortunes were all met by him at Peking University. However, instead of feeling depressed and resigning, I decided to leave. This is the spirit of Peking University, and this is the "rebellion" created by Peking University spirit. [4]
3 entrepreneurial experience editor
The origin of entrepreneurship
Wife's nagging: According to the Financial Times, Yu's decision to abandon teaching and go into business was partly attributed to his wife's endless nagging. He said with his own unique confession: "Some of my friends have made more money, and my wife wants me to be more successful. She felt that being with him
On the cover of a magazine
Compared with my classmates, I am a failure. So Yu accepted the challenge, founded the New Oriental School, and developed it into the largest private education company in China, with English schools and other learning centers in 34 cities. In a fiscal year, more than 65.438+million students registered in the school, which pushed up the income of New Oriental by 36%, reaching more than 65.438+billion yuan (65.438+36 billion US dollars).
Didn't get a scholarship from an American university: Yu also said that he founded New Oriental because he didn't get a scholarship from an American university. In order to raise enough money to study in the United States, Yu found an amateur language tutor to teach English in Peking University. In the end, he gave up the double-shift job because he realized that it would take more than five years to raise the tuition to go to the United States.
Entrepreneurial process
After obtaining the license for running a private school, he opened the door to 1993 1 1 in the first New Oriental School in Beijing.
This finally made it possible to visit the United States. But his destination is the new york Stock Exchange, not a university; Since the initial public offering, the market value of New Oriental has exceeded $2 billion. After the placement, it now holds 25% of the shares of New Oriental, and reserves the right to vote through the shares held by other employees and colleagues.
With a capital of about 200 million US dollars, Yu Hongmin is determined to open more schools all over the country and expand his business beyond language training. New Oriental will soon add math courses. He hopes to increase the market share of New Oriental. The market size of China's language training industry is $3 billion, which is relatively scattered. The market share of New Oriental is around 5%.
The pain of starting a business
The first kind of pain is that I was kidnapped twice and my life was in danger.
Yu, He are all together.
Some were torn;
The second kind of pain is that I was tortured by my wife every day before I succeeded;
The third kind of pain is that I met an unreasonable school leader and eventually resigned angrily, enduring the pain of unemployment;
The fourth pain is that two old friends, Wang Qiang and Xu Xiaoping, were invited. They never imagined that power would be more and more overhead, which really led the wolf into the room.
The fifth pain is to lead a board of directors who can only talk about Nietzsche's philosophy and often make a hullabaloo about, scaring away pig owners who want to invest tens of millions of cash and losing huge sums of money;
The sixth pain is that I regret listing in New Oriental very much, but now I can only bite the bullet and rush forward.

Now I finally understand that if Lao Yu stays at the forefront of learning, there is no hope for New Oriental. (Former Shen New Oriental teacher Yan Zhen)
From a rural tractor driver who graduated from junior high school to a rural teacher; From three college entrance examinations to high flyers and Peking University; From the ugly duckling who is introverted and inferior on campus to the dazzling word king of English department; From a poor teacher who was swept out of the house by Peking University to a leader in the training field; From self-employed individuals who brush advertisements on the street to CEOs of listed companies with a net worth of hundreds of millions; From the poor boy who has no money to go abroad to the "godfather of studying abroad" with students all over the United States ... This is Yu, a "dream master" who is good at inspiring students in speeches, a billionaire who has no shelf for employees to "tease him", and an entrepreneurial partner who has to be convinced when riding on him.
