Liang Yifei, the class representative, wanted to assist Gu Wenming in teaching, and after a few classes, he became familiar with it, and his title changed from 'Teacher Gu' to 'Old Gu'.

Lao Gu is a bit of a level in class!

English is a typical liberal arts, at present from primary school to university, the most common way of English teaching is rote memorization, due to the resumption of the college entrance examination in 79 years, the vast majority of English teachers are still self-taught, not only the teaching method is single and boring, the oral pronunciation is also very non-standard.

Gu Wenming not only pronounces the words correctly, but also has a set in class, using the very rare 'situational teaching', after a class, often half of the time, students are on stage to talk and perform, this teaching method is very popular with the class.

Liang Yifei's main job is to act as a dialogue sparring partner, and sometimes he has a few words with Gu Wenming as a model for the whole class.

Gu Wenming is knowledgeable, and after a few times, he was stunned to find that the English level represented by this class was much better than he imagined, and in terms of oral dialogue, it was not worse than himself.

asked Liang Yifei curiously in private.

Liang Yifei took out that set of rhetoric again, and met foreigners in the stalls, foreigners, people are stupid and have a lot of money, in order to make more money, they are self-taught.

Gu Wenming stared at Liang Yifei for a long time, and then said, "Amazing!"

After class this day, it was already half past nine in the evening, and Liang Yifei had just walked to the gate of the school, when Gu Wenming suddenly came out of the flower bed on the side like a ghost, startling him.

"Teacher Gu, what's wrong?"

Gu Wenming looked left and right, with a thief's expression on his face, lowered his voice, and asked, "Liang, you really don't have a regular job now?"

"Nope. Liang Yifei shook his head, "You don't want to introduce me to a job, do you?"

"Hey, not really. If you have time, go to the café opposite and sit down, and I'll invite you to coffee. Gu Wenming pointed to the opposite side of the school.

Liang Yifei looked at him for a long time.

This guy can't be gay!

In prison, there are quite a few such people!

……

The 'Yuanxiang Cafe' opposite the Binhai Provincial University of Science and Technology has a history of several decades, and has experienced a history of private, public-private, state-owned, and private again.

In the mid-to-late 90s, it was changed to the first McDonald's in the city.

Gu Wenming specially chose a very remote, window-side location, unless he deliberately bypassed, no one could see what was happening here.

Although the background music of the café is "Walking Through the Coffee House" by Qian Baihui, a mainland singer in 89, which is cheerful and sweet, Liang Yifei still subconsciously tightened his legs and held the coffee cup in his hand.

If this guy dares to mess around, Lao Tzu will have to stuff the whole cup into his chrysanthemum!

Fortunately, Gu Wenming didn't show any weird behavior, slightly cocked a little orchid finger, pinched the small spoon, stirred it in the coffee cup, and said: "This school has opened seven correspondence college majors, and our economics department has the most applicants, and among the economics department, my English class has the highest attendance rate and a generally high English level, do you know why?"

Liang Yifei also felt strange at first.

The Department of Economics has the largest number of applicants, the highest level of English, and the correspondence classes in English classes are large at night, with an attendance rate of more than 80%.

Later, I chatted with the people in the class and learned that at most, only half of the people like him wanted to get a literary appointment, and the rest of the people came to learn English.

In 1984, the "Interim Regulations on Self-funded Study Abroad" was issued, allowing individuals and public officials to study abroad at their own expense, which triggered a wave of going abroad, and a large number of young people, even middle-aged people, with various purposes, did not hesitate to quit their stable jobs, abandon their families, sell their real estate, and also sharpen their heads and run out.

Since the United States held the TOEFL test in China in 1981, the number of references has been rising every year, and in the capital alone, there were 8,000 test takers in 85 years, and in 86 years, it more than doubled, close to 20,000, and in 90 years, it has almost approached 100,000.

In the early 90s, the fever of going abroad and the tide of going to the sea were two hot words, and it was common to hear who 'went to the sea' and which 'went out'.

Later, there were two film and television dramas with this theme, which were very famous. A TV series, BJ people in New York, a movie, Big Satan.

No matter how late it is, it is actually a love film with a foreign skin.

"Teacher Gu, you have something to say. Liang Yifei said.

"It's not a big deal...... Gu Wenming's tone twisted a little, leaned forward, and lowered his voice to explain the situation.

If there is a demand, there is a business, now there are many people who want to go abroad, the first level to pass is the language barrier, Gu Wenming secretly substitutes outside to earn extra money, he has a high level of teaching, and he is a university teacher, so it is easy to take the job.

Recently, I brought seven or eight students at the same time, and I couldn't keep busy, so I wanted Liang Yifei to help solve one or two.

"A student, three classes a week, all are oral exercises, eight yuan for a class, you take six yuan, I take two yuan, how about it?"

When it came to money, Gu Wenming helped his eyes, and his expression was evasive.

After all, he is a high-level intellectual, and it is quite embarrassing to go to the sea, especially when he talks about deals with students nakedly.

Liang Yifei silently calculated, seven or eight students, in a month, just extra money, I'm afraid it will be six or seven hundred, plus his own income, it will be close to a thousand.

No wonder he is sneaky, the current university still prohibits teachers from taking private jobs outside to substitute for teaching.

Thinking of this, Liang Yifei's mind lit up!

I was still thinking about it, giving people ideas, although it is 'less money and more close to home', but after all, there is a lot of chance, and it is typical to wait for the rabbit.

In the next 92 to 94 years, there are several opportunities to make money, but before that, you can't let the funds on hand be idle, you have to find a good project, you can make money, make money quickly, and you have to be stable, safe, and have a future for development.

English tuition schools meet these conditions.

There is absolutely no problem with the market, since the public expense is allowed to go abroad, with the acceleration of the process of reform and opening up, and the increase in contact with foreign countries, the demand for English in the whole society is increasing.

After attending night school, Liang Yifei can personally feel that contemporary young people have an almost crazy worship of 'English'.

In my bones, this is the worship of money and the yearning for modern life.

With the popularization of the fourth and sixth levels and the large influx of foreign capital into the mainland after the southern tour in 92, the market will only get bigger and bigger.

There is a market, but there is no service: most of them are grass-roots guerrillas like Gu Wenming, who fight alone, and there are almost no regular troops.

And I still have a lot of convenience: I studied the successful case of New Oriental in the business school in my last life, how it got up, what setbacks and crises I have encountered, and how to avoid them, I still remember.

If I remember correctly, Yu Minhong started his cram school business in the capital around 91 or 92, and posted small advertisements everywhere.

The reason why New Oriental was able to achieve its later success, in addition to personal ability and opportunities, I have to say that we must thank the general environment and wind direction of the entire market in the early 90s!

Compared with Yu Minhong, he not only has a prophet, all the experience of his success, the lessons of failure, but also a lot of start-up capital!

I dare not say whether it can achieve the scale of New Oriental, but I am confident that I can make a sum of money in a short period of time!

Moreover, in education, there is an advantage that no industry can match: the state has encouraged private schools in recent years, and there are great tax incentives!

If he is engaged in other industries, just paying taxes can make Liang Yifei feel so distressed that he vomits blood.

As for tax evasion, although everyone is doing it, Liang Yifei never thought that what he had done twice would definitely not leave such an obvious loophole and handle for any future competitors.
