Eight years ago, Wu Yili, an undergraduate student who graduated from Tsinghua University, and his master's girlfriend gave up their million annual salary and began to sell pancakes instead, and the news quickly spread throughout the Internet, and many people expressed dissatisfaction with their behavior, and even some people thought that they were wasting their youth and time.
So why would they choose such a job? How are they doing eight years later? Let's take a look!
Wu Yili was born in Beijing to a well-to-do family whose parents were both college graduates, and the two highly educated seem to attach more importance to their children's learning.
Therefore, when Wu Yili was very young, they began to train him consciously or unconsciously, teaching him to recognize words and count. By the time he was officially in school, his grades were among the best.
However, with the increase of courses, Wu Yili gradually became unable to do so, and with the addition of playing all day, his grades began to plummet, so that Wu Yili's grades had slipped to a moderate level when he was in high school.
And Wu Yili's school is a key high school, many students in the class are targeting Tsinghua Peking University, or even higher schools, in the face of such a strong opponent he was overwhelmed all day, and even had the idea of "escape".
Fortunately, a girl named Liu Jiaxue gave him confidence, Liu Jiaxue is the top five students in the class, kind and kind, and very generous, every time will teach their own learning skills to everyone.
Looking at such a kind girl, Wu Yili was moved, he wanted Liu Jiaxue to see himself, so in order to be admitted to the same university as Liu Jiaxue, Wu Yili began to study desperately, and all the things that would affect him were thrown away by him.
At that time, he just wanted to be a wild horse that was out of control, desperately running forward, and finally Wu Yili was admitted to the School of Dairy Software of Tsinghua University with a high score, while Liu Jiaxue was too nervous during the college entrance examination, affecting the play, and could only study in the law department of Fudan University.
Wu Yili, who received this news, immediately ran to comfort Liu Jiaxue and gave Liu Jiaxue all the likes he had hidden in his heart.
What Wu Yili did not expect was that Liu Jiaxue also admired him very much, so the two established a relationship and became the envy of many people.
Although they are separated by two places, their feelings are not affected by distance at all, they chat every day, and they also go to each other's cities to play during the holidays.
But the most important thing for the two is to encourage each other, whenever the other encounters difficulties, the other person will always appear in time to give affirmation and help, which makes their learning career a lot smoother.
But after Wu Yili went to his junior year, he shifted his attention to making money, and successfully earned 4,000 yuan after running a ten-day training class with several classmates around him, which was simply a silent encouragement for him.
As the senior year approached, the students who started the class with Wu Yili were busy continuing their studies, and Wu Yili, who had planned to continue the training class, became a lonely person.
But this did not make Wu Yili give up, but instead invested in new industries and continued to make money.
Why do high-achieving students who graduated from Tsinghua give up their millions of salaries to sell pancakes? After graduation, Wu Yili successfully entered Oracle, a global large database software company, with a certificate from Tsinghua University.
As a science and engineering man, Wu Yili did not choose to sit in front of the computer to study technology, but did the need to run errands sales, in the face of many excellent colleagues, Wu Yili did not dare to slacken off, every day with strings, desperate work.
It is his seriousness and hard work that has allowed him to gain a lot of new knowledge and master how to communicate with others.
Three years have passed in a flash, and Wu Yili's pocket has also become bulging, and he is a migrant worker with a net worth of more than 100,000. In order to realize their own value.
Wu Yili decided to start his own business, so in 2010 he chose to create a software called "Hugging Group Music" with friends to do group buying, which was the time when group buying had just risen, and they were still expected to succeed.
As it turns out, they are right, they have made a lot of money just a month after their establishment, but small companies are most afraid of capital operations, and the same type of company with support is immediately strong, and their small companies are suppressed to the point of no customers.
And Wu Yili's money was also all smashed into it. Wu Yili, who has restored the life state of zero deposits, can only re-sell, perhaps because of his previous experience, coupled with his own entrepreneurial experience, Wu Yili soon became the company's sales champion, and one person sold seventy percent of the entire industry's software.
By 2013, Wu Yili had an annual salary of one million, and Liu Jiaxue had changed from a girlfriend to her wife, at that time, Liu Jiaxue had just finished her master's degree at Tsinghua University and had already worked as a legal consultant in a large company, with an annual salary of more than 500,000 yuan.
If such an excellent two people have been working well in their own industry, the quality of life is certainly not bad, but Wu Yili is not satisfied with the status quo, especially after hearing that his classmates have been worth hundreds of millions.
In order to prove themselves, Wu Yili and his wife have been calculating what profession to make money when a pancake stand comes into view of the two.
This is a place they often go, and they have to wait in line for a long time every time they buy, and in order to find out, the income of this pancake stand, they have conducted a special survey.
According to the survey, 100,000 people buy pancakes in Beijing a day, and the consumption amount is about 300 million yuan, and if it is put into the whole of China, it can make 10 billion yuan.
The two people who heard this data were immediately moved, so they pulled their colleague Feng Wei together to open a pancake shop in SOHO's business district.
The people who work here are so busy every day that they don't have time to cook, because many people line up in front of their stalls, especially after hearing the news that all three are high-achieving students.
What is Wu Yili, a high-caliber student who opened a pancake stall, doing after eight years? In order to make their pancakes more distinctive, Wu Yili and his wife studied different sauces and crusts, although the price of ten pieces, but everyone is still willing to pay, because the taste is really good.
Seeing that the business was about to be busy, Wu Yili planned to open another one in another location, but the speed of making pancakes became a big problem, and no matter how the three people did it, they could only spread 200 pancakes a day.
Faced with such an entrepreneurial bottleneck, Wu Yili and Feng Wei did not know what solution was there to break their heads, and just when they were frowning, a person named Shi Kanle gave him great inspiration.
Shi Kanle was Wu Yili's college classmate, at that time he had just returned from his PhD in France, heard that he was learning 3D technology, Wu Yili casually asked if 3D could make pancakes.
I didn't think it could really be realized, so the two quickly opened a company specializing in pancake printers. Among them, Shi Kanle is responsible for the development of printers, while Wu Yili is responsible for business and product operations.
In just two months, the first pancake printer was introduced. The two gave it a name called "Three Brothers Painting Cake". Its advantage is that it can be drawn in any shape.
But mass production is still a big problem, so Shi Kanle found an investor named Xu Xiaoping, Xu Xiaoping was very interested in this project after listening to their introduction, so he invested 10 million yuan in them.
In this way, the "Three Brothers Painting Cake" machine began mass production, and finally sold at a price of 5,000 yuan, surprisingly, in only half a year, the machine sold 1,000 units. And Wu Yili also earned tens of millions.
But such a novel machine is like a sudden burst of Internet celebrities, soon there is no heat, more and more people feel that this machine is not very useful, so they frantically complain.
Looking at such a bad scene, Wu Yili had to stop selling and began to find a new way to make money.
In 2017, Wu Yili began to focus on the industry of unmanned sales, and founded SandStar Sight, which was soon listed. Today, he has become a big boss worth more than ten million.
Although the past few years have been trial and error, it is undeniable that Wu Yili has gained a lot from every temptation, and perhaps it is these that have made him what he is today.
