"Maker Voice" to be an ox X's returnee entrepreneur, you're going to end up

Before returning to business, Annie has worked in Silicon Valley for 10 years, is an Intel senior chip designer, read circuit board countless. Now also put her back to the entrepreneurial encounter and hear the interesting stories sorted out.

This article is slightly funny, please be careful not to eat at large mouth reading, the consequences of conceit.

It's good to be a Chinese with hukou

After the decision of the returnees, the first thing to do is to register companies in the country. Many years abroad, do not understand the procedures of domestic registration, we have commissioned a special agent to help.

And then the trouble came.

Those of us who went abroad in the late 90 and early 00 did not have a job as a graduate or graduate from school. According to the policy at that time, the school will cancel the account and identity card. If you can identify yourself, you have only one Chinese passport. Stay in the United States to study for many years, long ago got a green card, but in order to return to convenient later, or retain Chinese nationality, continue to use the Chinese passport.

After returning home, suddenly found that in our great motherland, holding a Chinese passport is not all can be considered Chinese.

First of all, we cannot register domestic companies with Chinese passports. The reason for the trade and Industry Bureau is that only registered companies with identity cards can be used for registration.

Ah? It's not scientific. To register a foreign company, what are we doing here?

Clearly the Chinese passport in the world to prove that we are Chinese, why our great Motherland does not recognize that we are Chinese?
To this end, our agent to help us to the Trade and Industry bureau theory. The staff is not angry son said, "is how the Chinese people have no ID card, cheat it, what is the nationality, you go to find out." ”

Ah? Am I an agent who suffers from amnesia? Have I got my nationality wrong?

The enthusiasm to serve the motherland was so brutally hit.

Well, let's put it on hold, let's do it in the domestic life. To live is to go to the bank. But with passports, banks do not entertain any business. Open an account, exchange renminbi, OK, I think too much. Can only continue to use the U.S. account, the need for money, to ATM withdrawals, pay fees, using ATM exchange rate to take the renminbi.

Entrepreneurship, certainly not to run East run west. However, we cannot use passports to book high-speed tickets on the Internet. There was a time, we shuttle in Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang several cities, a week to sit at least 5 times high-speed rail, but because can not buy tickets, can only go to each station of the artificial ticket office, with expatriates, in that only can use the Passport Window queue ticket. Queue at least 40 minutes at a time, but the key is that the window is not open at night. Sometimes I can't buy tickets, so I often wait for a long time at the railway station.

This kind of life lasted a few months after the unbearable, decided to go to do the ID card. Then a series of troubles came ...

To run an ID card, you must have an account. After a lot of research, home to settle down, need many proof. Among them, the United States Embassy certification of academic credentials, as well as the Chinese State Education Commission certified returnees to prove.

It turns out that it's not people who come back, they need certification. So China and the United States ran 2 trips, please friends in Beijing ran two times the BoE. After 2 months, the proof was finally settled.

With the proof, you need to go to the place where the account is sold to restore the registered account. So went to the original in the first-tier City university. University said, the hukou has not been sold out of our control, you need to find outside the police station.

Go to the police station outside the school and say you want the school to prove that it was sold out of school. Ran back to school, gave a proof. Go to the police station again. The police station said, "We can restore the lost account, but you have to have a place to settle down." The previous account is in the university, now you need to find a settled receiving unit. ”

Ah? Receiving unit? We are back to start a business, their own company, but because there is no identity card, the company has not registered well, no reception units ah.

settled in and registered the start-up company, incredibly became a chicken egg and egg raw chicken problem.

Then there's no way.

However, this matter still has to be solved, we want to start a business. Obviously, we can't settle in the city where we start our business. Seems to have wasted the country to our Beijing, Shanghai Hukou quota. Well, I blame it, why I don't go to a big company to work, find a receiving unit AH.

Fortunately despair, research to the end, the only option is to put the hukou in the home before the university. It's okay, just fall back to your hometown. OK, please go to the local police station to do in the hometown of the parents. The police station is said that the home account can receive, but still can't give, because parents do not count. The man must come back to his hometown and be face-to-face.

All right. All the way back home. Think one day can run a good account, the result police station said, you have to stay here for some time, every two days let us see you, otherwise how do we know you really go back to live?

Live in your hometown? We are returning to the business ... Not to go home for old age ...
Besides, how long does it take to be a proof?

Depressed in the home for a few days, things finally turned up, mom gave a relationship, played a few floors Hello, the police station finally agreed to settle down! Roar!

There's only mom! The people of the police station said, the account can be, 3 weeks later, you come to get ID card!

Yes!!!!

Two months later, we finally registered the company, there are bank accounts, and finally can buy the train ticket electronic ...

Finally realized that in China as a good feeling of Chinese.

Second, "PRIMARY" is the main reason hindering the return of American technicians

A few years ago, the leader of a famous science and technology park in China came to Silicon Valley to visit us and greet a group of Chinese entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley for dinner. The leaders drank wine and said they were going to be the most qualified nannies for the returnees, offering all the services. I sipped wine, laughing and asked the leadership, do you provide to see the husband's service?

The leader smiled and asked: "What do you say?"

I said, now the domestic affair is extremely serious, your park is in Jiangnan a beauty gathers big city, want to let the Silicon Valley High-tech male wives agree the husband to return to business, you have to guarantee to look tight everyone's husband Oh.

This is really not a joke.

Since the late 90, there have been several times in Silicon Valley to return to entrepreneurship. The news report of those returnees successful people to change the wife of things, we do not have to say more. I have asked several Chinese predecessors, according to their more than 10-year statistics, the old high seas to be the probability of being a SAN amnesty 95%. This 95% of the statistics is not only the occurrence of one or two extramarital affairs or occasionally out of the probability of a track, but is the success of the master to change Shong probability. The remaining 5%, there is a clean, but also experienced some wind and rain finally repent silently back to selfless support for their own many years ago the original side.

Is it really that serious?

These more than 20 years of hard study of the High-tech Master's doctor, before going abroad did not enjoy the dazzling. Abroad to study work, foreign entertainment life is scarce. First no money, not easy career a little foundation, get green card, but also busy children family. Now it's all right to go back home and start a new life for a bachelor. Although the company is small, the initial money is not much, but there is a circle of people call their own "xx Total", but also to have a young woman to do the assistant, a review of hundreds of thousands of people such as the Phoenix Plan, in the local or small well-known, and how to say there is a foreign doctor and the United States Green Card. Often attend an important meeting, the media reports from time to time, thirty or forty-year-old young talent, the domestic young Meimei ah, you know ...

In overseas Chinese circles, this is not a secret. Long-term past, we all feel that put the husband to return home, no matter what is done, the result will be lost undoubtedly. Many American companies shoot Chinese executives or engineers to return to China. But, you know ...

There are female friends crying husband and the fall in the domestic, what other female friends can say? Remind you at the outset, you do not listen, not to say your husband is very honest, look now ...

Because of home business, Silicon Valley, the number of families broken, so now the Valley's wives have figured out, they do not seek career success, not to big rich expensive, only family together, peace and stability, contentment. So, the bulls in Silicon Valley want to go home and start a business, can you break through the wives ' resolute obstruction?

Although the vomit trough so many, but we still return to the business. This is our home!
