Chairman of the New Oriental Education Group Mr Yu (data) Although my nature is not adventurous, but I do not like a step-by-step life, Ease makes my heart restless recently, the new Oriental Education Group Chairman Mr Yu, a guest of the network, reviewed his entrepreneurial experience. Mr Yu said he had been under a lot of pressure, including his family's, to start his own business as a teacher at Peking University.  But the reason is able to come out, or because they do not like the step-by-step life, at the same time, and face the temptation of the outside world, only to take this steps bravely. Mr Yu recalls that at the beginning of his business, family issues were once the biggest contradiction in the new Oriental. It is difficult to do things because it involves family members, so it is decided to clear all the family members from the new Oriental.  Looking back on the hardships of the early days of entrepreneurship, Mr Yu said that while he was tired of starting his own business, his heart was relaxed.  The following is an excerpt from an interview with Mr Yu. Mr Yu: 1993 years, I'm going to be more relaxed than I am now. This is not about working time, it's psychological. At that time work than now longer, six or seven o'clock in the morning, night one or two o ' clock to sleep, because to prepare lessons, lectures, sleep four or five hours. But it's all right. Actually, it's only five hours to sleep. There are endurance genes in our family's ancestral genes.  Like my mother, I do things from morning till night, and I don't feel tired at all. The reason why the heart is relaxed, because you can count money every day at home. At the end of 1991, at the beginning of 1992, when I first got the money, I received more than 2 million tuition a day. At that time, China did not have 100 yuan, are 10, 2000 is thick two stacks. After coming home, my wife and I two people in bed together, counted about 20, 30 times.  After counting, I don't know where to hide the money. Super happy at that time. Employees, is to recruit a few laid-off workers, give us the management of logistics. Then several teachers were recruited. During the day from Monday to Friday (students only have classes at night and Saturday and Sunday), I take them (teachers) to play and invite them to dinner every day. For a while my wife cooks a chicken at home every night, and everyone eats it.  After eating very happy, play cards, and then go downstairs to prepare lessons at 12 o ' hour. When I came out of Peking University, I greeted my mother, who happened to be in Beijing. She said, if you dare to come out of Peking University, I will kill myself.  Because she felt that a rural child finally into the Peking University when the teacher, you have to step by step up, why do you want to come out? My wife also opposes (entrepreneurship). Because after all (as a teacher) is a rice bowl. She does not know whether I have (entrepreneurial) ability, there is no talent. I remember when the Oriental Foreign Language Training Department (New Oriental predecessor) opened the first class when bought 10 boxes of English tapes, to class, spent 60 yuan. As a result, my wife has been fighting me from wangfujing to home. Because she thought half a month's salary is gone, bought this tape to have what use AH. Until I start my first class and get my money back., my wife just centering, think this is still right. When I first set up new Oriental, I used family members. Then my mother came to help me. Because the old lady has a strong personality, in addition to cooking will also participate in the new Oriental affairs, such as logistics. I don't care about my mother, and she turns out to be part of the new Oriental Steward! And my wife also came in, and then my brother-in-law, my wife's brother-in-law also came. At that time, Wang Qiang, Xiaoping and other people to my family in the new Oriental is not much opinion, because they think you are the founder.  But at the time, two or three partners at home were following me, bringing in more family members than my family. In this way, Xiaoping they will not do, because the new Oriental became a family here, there is a family, are all members of the family.  And a few of them were educated in the West and never had the idea of getting their family members in. Since then, by the time of 2000 years, the biggest contradiction (new Oriental) is not what we call business contradictions, but family contradictions.  So a few of them said that family members had to go out, and Mr Yu's family members could not go out. At first I also want them a few very kind, my family members left, on the other hand, ah, I want to leave their family members, the other to drive out, I have no prestige in the new Oriental, it becomes very overbearing. In addition, to be true, those few people will be greatly damaged, not in the new East dry.  So I have to get my family members out of the house. There are two reasons why there is no further teaching in Peking University, and the first is that I have been a teacher of Peking University for nearly 7 years.  So Beijing University teacher this title will always follow you, no matter you are leaving Peking University or where to work, Peking University teacher This identity will not let you inferiority. Second, although my nature is not adventurous, but I do not like the step-by-step life. In fact, Beijing University has given me a lot of freedom, because the class is only eight hours a week, this is all your time. Each month's bonuses and wages are also taken, the basic is very comfortable. To press this to go down is a very stable life. But then I thought it didn't fit my personality. Because I tasted the sweetness outside, see I in the outside one months can be on the Beijing University 10 months wages, so the heart is restless. (Listen/Hu Qing)
