　　In September 2010, Moon and Lele, who were born in 1991, entered the finance major of Tsinghua University with the 5th and 6th place respectively in the liberal arts college entrance examination in Yunnan Province. After studying, doing internships, and working in investment banks, I never thought that I would become a 'matchmaker' later." Moon said.

　　In the life department, every freshman season, Moon and Lele will write a guide for freshmen and hold various dance parties.

The freshman dance has become an "ice-breaking trip" for many male and female classmates, "We entered the life department by accident, but gradually we found that we were doing things we liked, and inadvertently made some classmates become lovers. A sense of accomplishment."

　　Four years of college have passed in a hurry. In September 2014, Moon and Lele both started graduate school.

At this time, they realized that although they brought many classmates together, they had not yet experienced the beauty of campus love, so they began to try various ways to find a lover.

　　"Let's build a blind date platform ourselves!" Lele said casually, which inspired the two of them.

Their initial idea was to find a boyfriend for themselves, but later they found out that everyone has this demand, "I just wanted to create such a platform, and send the information of students who have similar ideas around to the platform, so that more people can see themselves through the Internet, and also It's a kind of 'resource sharing'."

　　At the beginning of 2015, Moon and Lele used their spare time to design the logo and create a blind date official account. The initial users were the two of them, as well as their friends and classmates who had the same need to get rid of the single.

　　Moon said that there are actually a lot of people who need marriage and love. They have pushed more than 1,500 male and female guests so far, and the overall blind date success rate of users is about 30%.

　　"To be a unique matchmaker"

　　In July 2016, Moon, who graduated as a graduate student, went all the way to work in a multinational investment institution in Beijing.

Lele, on the other hand, joined a multinational group in Hong Kong to work, and both have good career prospects.

　　Outside of work, Moon and Lele still operate the dating platform they established.

Moon said frankly that although the financial industry has a high salary and an annual salary of millions, it has always been under a lot of competitive pressure, and there is also a side business.

Therefore, Moon and Lele often have long talks, discussing whether to quit their jobs and do their best to be a dating platform.

　　In October 2021, when he was struggling, Moon received a message from a colleague. The colleague's college classmate met his lover through the blind date platform established by Moon and Lele.

From the photos sent by her colleagues, Moon recognized them at a glance, "It's a guest posted on our platform!" She was overjoyed: "It turns out that it's so pleasant to get a response to what I've been insisting on doing!"

　　At the end of 2021, Moon and Lele told their parents that they wanted to be a full-time matchmaker, and they were both opposed.

Moon said to his parents: "If I keep investing, I may be a very mediocre investor. If I go all out to run the platform, then I will become a unique matchmaker. And I think this is a matter of social value. , need to have young people to do it.”

　　In this way, with a dream, the two quit their high-paying jobs and threw themselves into the "matchmaker" business.

　　After 7 years of business, the team has grown from 2 people to 60 people now.

Seven years ago, they were still second-year graduate students. While taking care of their busy studies, they taught themselves new media editing and operated a blind date platform.

　　Lele's husband, Lao Cao, used to be a programmer on a blind date platform and "listed" on the platform.

Whenever someone asks whether the dating platform is reliable, Lele will always smile and say, "I even got out of the dating platform through the platform. Do you think it is reliable?"

　　In 2017, Lao Cao lived in Shanghai and Lele developed in Hong Kong. After chatting online for 21 days, the two decided to be together.

Three months later, they met for the first time.

Now, Lele and Lao Cao have been certified for three years and have a child. Every time they watch the wedding video, Lele's happiness is beyond words.

Moon and Laoyu are Tsinghua undergraduate alumni.

The two met for the first time in 2011.

　　In Laoyu's eyes, Moon is a cheerful female classmate, while Laoyu in Moon's eyes is a little programmer who can repair computers and is not good at words.

It was not love at first sight at first, but after 7 years of acquaintance, the two unexpectedly came together.

　　Moon told reporters that although they did not know each other through a blind date platform, she felt that the experience of operating a blind date platform was the biggest help for her and Laoyu to be together, "If I didn't operate this blind date platform, and I hadn't seen different types of the opposite sex, I wouldn't I don’t know exactly what kind of person I am suitable for. In this process, on the one hand, it provides more blind date resources for everyone, and on the other hand, it also allows me to learn how to get along with the opposite sex.”

　　Advice for young men and women

　　People who are easy to "get off the single" have a clearer understanding of themselves

　　Moon told reporters that the blind date platform they operate is not only a blind date official account, but now a blind date applet has been added, and users can sign up on the Internet.

Moon said that the currently operating blind date platform is in a state of break-even, "I invested a lot of money at the beginning, but now after 7 years of development, the entire platform has been able to self-create blood. Although it is not as high as the income before resignation, we are still very satisfied. , after all, doing what you love."

　　From the perspective of Moon and Lele, the blind date platform they built incorporates a set of their own values.

"It may be from a financial background, and we particularly believe that finding a partner is a matter of probability." Therefore, for those young people who want to "get off the single", the two things to do is to increase awareness of the number and size of the opposite sex. The probability of converting these opposite sex into one's own partner.

　　Moon said that everyone sang the praises of "In the past, horses and horses were slow, letters were far away, and there was only enough love for one person in my life" or "love around the corner". She felt that you could find someone unknowingly, but she believed that such a mentality was necessary Reversed, "Why such love is sought after is precisely because it is too rare. Contemporary young people should not hold a waiting mentality, but should actively expand their social circles and improve their skills and abilities to recognize the opposite sex."

　　"People often think that good-looking, good-looking, well-educated, and high-income people are easy to get off the list, but this is not the case." After working as a matchmaker for many years, Moon discovered that the people who were most likely to "get off the list" were actually People who have a clear understanding of themselves, "they know what kind of person they are looking for, and they are clear about their needs, strengths and weaknesses. They won't hold the mentality that the next one will be better, or that they must find the best, only I will consider whether this person is suitable for him at the moment. If it feels suitable, try it together. Because being together is only the beginning of a relationship, and whether it can go on or not requires more running-in and experience.”
