Yu Minhong: Peking University has smashed me a foot


Yu Minhong: Peking University has smashed me a foot

In the past five years, no girl in the university fell in love with her. Yu Minhong mentioned Peking University more than once. This sadness that made him feel mixed.
The current Peking University is still as cold as ever, and cannot be peeled off in his dream mark. The shadow of Peking University’s Peking University School Road, love, school, and career are moving forward passionately, but it seems that it has nothing to do with him.
"I am the only student from the countryside who started from the countryside. I didn't speak Mandarin. The result was transferred from Class A to poor Class C. I didn't read the real book before entering the university. I had a year of tuberculosis in my junior year. As a result, I practiced the slim body of the devil now." Yu Minhong will not be able to open the words.
In the eyes of most people, Yu Minhong is a reckless singer who has been left out by others. The love that others relish is completely vacuum for him. "Peking University for 5 years, no girl loves me," he said. Therefore, loneliness, patience, and tenacity... all the qualities of the hone are all possessed. He said that the hunger for love made him "see any girl wanting to pounce on." Obviously exaggerated, but still aptly described his state of mind at that time.
Yu Minhong recalled that his first love affair was at 9 pm on March 26, 1986, when he was an English teacher at Peking University. This first loyal love continued to this day after years of twists and turns. During the interview, he said that he had just received a newsletter from his wife and read it out at 1510: "Husband, I miss you very much." The expression of this sentence is actually more than the previous sentence "800,000 last year." Students are still excited.
Because the training outside angered the school, Peking University gave him a punishment. He felt that there was no meaning to stay, and he chose to leave. At that time, at the end of 1991, he was about to move toward the age of standing, and going out of Peking University became the watershed of life.
"Peking University has smashed me. I was full of resentment at the time, and now I am full of gratitude." Yu Minhong said, "If you keep mixing, it may be an associate professor at the English Department of Peking University."
These luck and misfortunes came to him at Peking University. He is destined to be a latecomer: three years of college entrance examination, late love, sickness fallacy, delay in going abroad for three and a half years, and the unfair punishment of the school. Peking University has become a sour and bitter place for all.
"I am the only one who will not think that I will come up with this school." Yu Minhong said calmly, "Anyone who has done a new East is excusable, but I can't forgive. Because I am the least in my classmates' eyes." People who are out of the business. That's true, you can ask them. So I told the college students abroad with my facts, my success gave them confidence, and they came back." Now he prides himself on him. A bandit is struggling with a group of turtles."
Yu Minhong’s high school tuition classmate and now Beijing New Oriental president Zhou Chenggang ridiculed that “it has been struggling for more than 20 years, and I don’t think he will be sanctioned by him!”
Peking University, which made him love and hate, made him and his New Oriental. Yu Minhong said that he had carefully thought about his life. He did not stare at the famous times and honors like other students. His eyes skipped this realm.
Unbearable and regretful, the New Oriental has done so much to look back on the past ten years of entrepreneurship. Yu Minhong said that the first thing that comes to mind is regretting the New Oriental. He said that in the beginning, he could make a boutique institution with an annual income of one or two million in Beijing, and concentrate the elite characters there and develop in a limited way. Ideals can be achieved in a small range, and it is easier to change or abandon.
"I made a cage for myself, I couldn't drill outside, or I would be hanged if the cage was tightened." He said with a mockery.
"At the time, my ambition was too big. What I left for me is unbearable weight. When you find yourself setting an unbearable goal for yourself, the pain and pain will come." He took a sip of tea. Continue to analyze yourself in a sharp way. "New Oriental is a no return, so I have to go."
"When I was particularly tired, I really wanted to turn off New Oriental. I didn't do it because I found it necessary to be responsible for 4000 employees, responsible for shareholders, and responsible for myself. I sometimes thought that if New Oriental is gone, people will New Oriental and I received all the MBA cases in the country. At that time, I would still be famous, but that was a negative textbook." He smiled helplessly.
It is self-deprecating. It's hard to imagine a middle-aged man with a successful career pushing himself to such a realm. Is this also a successful philosophy?
During the conversation, Yu Minhong used the word "repent" several times. I don't know whether it is a pretending gesture or a statement of heart. However, his eyes tell people that he is serious, as he said in his speech in Shenzhen, his wealth is not in the bank account but in his head. He wants to confess, he really can not care about those things, but care about other things that others can't understand.
What are those things?
"I really hope that there is no stock in New Oriental, no matter whether it is sold or sent to others, so I can leave New Oriental with peace of mind." He answered very calmly. "I can do something more meaningful, such as writing a book, driving by car. The world, or teach in poor mountain areas."
He thoughtfully added: "I really want to buy a wasteland in the northwest and become an oasis. Because I have incomparable proximity to the land."
Is it that Yu Minhong wants to solve the problem of returning to the field, and the peak of his career has finally become famous?
He is not okay. He just said that he is gradually divesting New Oriental and has partially realized his ideals. He said that he has visited more than 40 cities, lectured, traveled, and read history, and wrote a 100,000-word diary.
A businessman with a humanistic sentiment, New Oriental has to do long-term, and needs some humanistic feelings. Yu Minhong is behind the success of the aura in the lecture. Yu Minhong seems to have not changed. He is very thin from face to hand, and the imaginary wealth of the new Oriental palm. The identity of the doorman is really disproportionate. T-shirts, slacks and white sneakers are his signature attire, and he even wears a pair of white sneakers. He said that the previous one was even worse. It was a pull back shoe.
This year, New Oriental has completed several major projects: international financing, transformation of international investment institutions, and layout of layouts in most parts of the country. But Yu Minhong said, "New Oriental has not succeeded." What is the definition of success? He believes that "a thing with historical conclusions is called success. Businessmen do not matter whether they succeed or not, because the sea of ​​business is always a sea of ​​danger, and there is no successful day in defining itself in the sea of ​​business. If you write a book, it is subject to historical conclusions. In the year, there are people who read, and that is success. Like Chen Zhongshi’s "White Deer" and Feng Gong's essays are successes. New Oriental has no such eternal things." In Yu Minhong's view, success must have a tacit correspondence with eternity.
"I am a somewhat scholarly businessman. Because the articles I wrote are not written by other businessmen." Yu Minhong said. He said that the diary and feelings of those travels can actually bring enthusiasm to the employees. New Oriental has to be long-lasting and needs some moisture of humanistic feelings.
However, when more and more people think that he is more like a businessman, he argues: "This is a requirement! You have no keen eye for entrepreneurship. There is no strategic sense of entrepreneurship. There is no strategic development idea. New Oriental can't live! However, the roles of businessmen and teachers can go hand in hand without having to split."
Until now, everyone in New Oriental has called Yu Minhong as a teacher, and no one has called his boss. The subordinate's investment is also a clarification of his own. "I don't earn money for anything that doesn't fit my values." This kind of arrogance and high academicism also made him lose in the business world. He said that he had been confused for a long time.
The former teacher of Shenzhen New Oriental, Zhen Zhen said: "Now I finally understand Lao Yu. If he is still standing on the tip of academics, New Oriental has no hope."
