Preface
During this time, the matter of Dongfang's selection of "de-glorification" has caused a lot of controversy, and many netizens think that Yu Minhong and Dongfang Xiaosun want to "unload the mill and kill the donkey", and Dong Yuhui is really miserable.
And the other two beneficiaries in this incident, Internet celebrity Luo Yonghao and Gaotu boss Chen Xiangdong, are also coincidental, they were once a strong general under Yu Minhong, but they all left New Oriental to work alone.
Therefore, netizens reviewed the bigwigs who ran away from New Oriental and left Yu Minhong, even if they went out to stand up for themselves with their bare hands, they did a good job.
So, why did these people leave the New Oriental, which had great development prospects at that time?
1. Luo Yonghao: Lao Luo's quotations are popular all over the Internet, occupying the hot search list all year round
Don't look at Luo Yonghao in the live broadcast room now, telling the story of "iron rooster" and "sycophant", and the words mean Yu Minhong many times, speaking for Dong Yuhui.
But at the beginning, Yu Minhong also had the grace of knowing Luo Yonghao, which was Luo Yonghao's Bole.
In 2000, Luo Yonghao, who only had a junior high school education, was enthusiastic, and he heard that the teachers of New Oriental were all paid high salaries, and he also wanted to break through, so he enrolled in classes and Xi for a long time.
It's just that when it came time to apply for a job, but this academic qualification was not enough, so the smart Luo Yonghao went off the rails and wrote a letter directly to Yu Minhong, the principal of New Oriental.
The letter was full of Luo Yonghao's life experience and his yearning for the profession of New Oriental teacher, and his words were sincere, which showed his sincerity.
Yu Minhong looked at it and probably felt that this was a talent, so he broke the threshold of academic qualifications and made an exception for him to come to try to speak.
But Luo Yonghao's first two attempts failed, Yu Minhong still insisted on keeping him, and gave him another chance, that time, Luo Yonghao's humorous language moved everyone present and successfully joined New Oriental.
In the six years of attending Beijing New Oriental School, Luo Yonghao lived up to expectations, often speaking surprisingly in class, but he had a certain ideological height, and won the preference of many students.
Subsequently, the students recorded the content of Luo Yonghao's class and uploaded it to the Internet, and the incisive, interesting, and occasionally "Lao Luo Quotations" that drove a little car became popular all over the country and became the gold medal lecturer of New Oriental.
So six years later, why did Luo Yonghao leave?
The answer is actually somewhat similar to Dong Yuhui's predicament now.
At that time, Luo Yonghao became the first generation of Internet celebrities, relying on the popularity of "Lao Luo's quotations", he could bring tens of millions or even more advertising benefits to New Oriental every year, and many parents came to him for him.
And the top management of New Oriental School is well aware of this, but not only did they not give Luo Yonghao the corresponding remuneration, but thought that Luo Yonghao had said some words that "smeared" New Oriental in class, and considered whether to fire Luo Yonghao.
As for this "smear", in fact, Luo Yonghao told the students some problems of the school, and the senior management felt that Luo Yonghao was right, but it should not be publicized outside and affect the reputation of New Oriental.
In the end, after a high-level meeting, considering the value that Luo Yonghao can bring, he was still kept.
When Luo Yonghao learned about this from others, he wanted to resign and start a business, and he instantly felt cold and decided to resign.
After leaving New Oriental, Luo Yonghao has been on the road of entrepreneurship, engaging in hammer technology, English training, and live broadcasting, and has been active on the Internet.
Now when it comes to the past with New Oriental again, Luo Yonghao seems to have been telling it as a joke, as for whether he let it go, it is unknown.
2. Xu Xiaoping, Wang Qiang, Yu Minhong: The Most Beautiful "Chinese Partner"
In 2013, the stories of the three founders of New Oriental were put on the screen, and the movie "Chinese Partner" was released, with a box office of more than 500 million yuan, allowing countless people to know about that entrepreneurial experience.
But after that, Wang Qiang, one of the partners, said:
"I think the success of New Oriental is the success of the collective, the success of Lao Yu as the core, but it is by no means the success of Lao Yu leading us to play. ”
Wang Qiang said this in a calm tone, but there were thorns in his words, and it was obvious that after the success, there was a disagreement between the three people.
So let's go back to 1996, when the three of them started their business, when New Oriental had already started, in order to be bigger and stronger, Yu Minhong found two talented people in college, teacher Xu Xiaoping, and class leader Wang Qiang.
At this time, Xu Xiaoping had just finished studying for a master's degree in music and did not have a decent job, but when he heard that New Oriental was making a lot of money, he quickly agreed after being invited.
Wang Qiang graduated with a master's degree in computer science, and his job has also been settled, and his annual salary is hundreds of thousands of yuan in Bell Labs, which is already very good.
However, under Yu Minhong's three-inch incorruptible tongue, Wang Qiang looked at New Oriental, a rising star, and was still moved.
From this time on, the New Oriental troika was officially on the road, and the three stinkers could top Zhuge Liang, not to mention that these three people all had unique skills and advantages, and New Oriental was on the fast track.
And when these three people cooperate, it is impossible to say that there is no friction, Yu Minhong said at the premiere of the movie "Chinese Partner":
"The three of us quarreled in the movie, and it actually fought much harder than that. ”
As time goes by, this grievance gets deeper and deeper.
At the critical stage of New Oriental's upgrading, Xu Xiaoping and Wang Qiang, who were "radicals", wanted to let New Oriental go public in the United States and cash out quickly, but Yu Minhong belonged to the "conservatives" and resolutely disagreed with this.
But the trend of the times rolled forward, New Oriental was still listed in 2006, and Wang Qiang and Xu Xiaoping also left the board of directors and jointly established Zhen Fund, and the New Oriental troika collapsed.
Later, Xu Xiaoping became the most popular angel investor, Wang Qiang also did a good job, and the most beautiful Chinese partner only stayed in the movie.
Perhaps, such an ending also confirms the wise saying of "Wang Yang" played by Tong Dawei in the movie:
"Don't start a business with good friends. ”
3. Li Xiaolai: "The richest man in Bitcoin", a high-IQ bull
If you want to say that New Oriental used to be among those talented people, Li Xiaolai, the "richest man in Bitcoin", must have a name.
Li Xiaolai and Luo Yonghao are friends, Luo Yonghao has said to Li Xiao more than once, we have to do a big ticket.
Over the years, Luo Yonghao seems to be quite popular, but he doesn't know that Li Xiaolai is a fierce cow.
Li Xiaolai has a very high IQ, and in the 90s, he earned the first pot of gold - 1 million yuan by assembling a computer, but later because of his father's illness, he failed to start a business and collapsed in the middle of the road.
At this time, Luo Yonghao appeared on the stage and persuaded Li Xiaolai to go to New Oriental to be an English teacher, but Li Xiaolai didn't know what the future was going to be for the time being.
Subsequently, Li Xiaolai won the TOEFL test in 4 months and became an excellent English teacher outside New Oriental.
At that time, New Oriental did not have TOEFL real questions, and relied on teachers to take the test, Li Xiaolai not only got a full score every time, but also memorized all the content accurately, so that he was removed from the TOEFL test.
Therefore, such a capable person will definitely not be satisfied with being a little teacher, and after working in New Oriental for a few years, he also went out to start a business.
In 2001, the far-sighted Li Xiaolai bought 2,100 bitcoins for less than $7.
By 2007, the price of bitcoin exploded, the price of bitcoin reached $20,000, and Li Xiaolai became a proper billionaire.
I can only sigh about this:
"A tough life doesn't need to be explained!"
Fourth, Chen Xiangdong: Leaving New Oriental to do a high road, surpassing Yu Minhong
Recently, Chen Xiangdong has been in the turmoil between Dong Yuhui and Dongfang Selection, and he can be regarded as reaping the "benefits of a fisherman".
Dongfang Selection has lost fans like crazy, and they have squeezed into the live broadcast room of Gaotu Jiapin, and the number of people has risen from a few or a dozen to nearly 100,000 at once, and Chen Xiangdong smiled from ear to ear.
At the same time, Gaotu boss Chen Xiangdong's past was also revealed, it turned out that Chen Xiangdong not only worked for New Oriental, but also once achieved the position of senior vice president of the group.
Being able to do such a position shows that Chen Xiangdong's ability and vision have far exceeded ordinary people, so Chen Xiangdong's heart has become unstable after that.
In particular, Chen Xiangdong was very excited to see the good trend of combining technology and education in the future, and he asked himself over and over again:
"If you don't start a business now and fight hard, will you regret it in the future?"
The answer was yes, and in this regard, Chen Xiangdong left New Oriental and began his legendary entrepreneurial journey.
Only 6 months after its establishment, Gaotu received $50 million in Series A financing, surpassing Xiaomi and becoming the king of venture financing at that time.
Subsequently, the company was positioned in Education 020 and began to burn money frantically, but until the funds were about to dry up, the company failed to find a way to monetize.
In 2017, Chen Xiangdong definitely invested in online live classes on a large scale, stepped on the tuyere of online education, and rose rapidly.
At that time, the TV was full of advertisements for Gaotu, and the sentence "Famous teachers go out of Gaotu, and online classes choose Gaotu" brainwashed countless parents and students.
Then, in just 5 years, Gaotu was listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and on the wealth list, Chen Xiangdong's worth was as high as 75 billion yuan, far surpassing his former boss Yu Minhong.
The last thing, as we all know, is that the "double reduction" is coming, Gaotu suffered a heavy blow, and started the road of transformation with New Oriental.
epilogue
After Luo Yonghao left New Oriental, he once commented on Yu Minhong:
"Yu Minhong is one of the most unprincipled people I have ever met. ”
This sentence can be regarded as an accurate hit on Yu Minhong's pain point, which can make New Oriental to the scale it is today, and can quickly transform after the "double reduction", Yu Minhong can definitely be regarded as a business tycoon.
But Yu Minhong has a flaw in management, as he mentioned in "I Was on the Verge of Collapse":
"I'm weak, I don't want to be people, sometimes I can't stick to my principles, and I'm prone to being overly tolerant, which leads to a lack of authority. ”
Therefore, many talents will most likely not stay in New Oriental for a long time, and high-level political struggles will trap them, and after not getting due returns, they can only go to New Oriental and find another way to make a living.
