Why did you choose to abandon teaching and go into business?

1993165438+10. In October, I chose to give up teaching and set up New Oriental School, and set up English schools and other learning centers in 34 cities. Yu founded New Oriental because he failed to 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, and I realized that it would take more than five years to raise the tuition to go to the United States. ?

The establishment of New Oriental School finally enabled Yu to travel to the United States. His destination is the new york Stock Exchange, not a university. In 2006, New Oriental was officially listed on the new york Stock Exchange. After the placement, it now holds 25% of the shares of New Oriental, and at the same time retains voting control through the shares held by other employees and colleagues.
