College students in school entrepreneurship story a
In the past two years, Wuhan streets emerged a large number of boutique fruit store, pro orchard is from Wuhan, a local force, was established in 2010, there are now 22 stores, last year's sales of 28 million yuan. Surprisingly, its founder is a college graduate from Huanong.
In the early days of the venture, he slept only two hours a day
Hu Yong was born in 1988, and in 2010, Hu Yong, a sophomore at the Huanong College of Agricultural and Forestry Economics and Management, met his entrepreneurial mentor, Tang Lihe, who was 69 years old and contracted to build 300 acres of barren land in Jiangxia. They decided to open up the land to plant melons, pulling stumps, turning the ground, melons were planted with difficulty, but before maturity was gnawed by wild boars.
In the summer of his sophomore year, Hu Yong and a few students set up a stall in the school to sell melons, named "Kiss Kiss Orchard". From Huanong to Jiangxia, a car about 500 pounds of watermelon, Hu Yong riding an electric tricycle back and forth every day in the hot sun.
In his junior year, Hu Yong and team members raised 40,000 yuan to open the first store in front of Huanong. They went to the fruit market at 3 a.m. into the watermelon, transported back to the store is usually 8:00 a.m. or even 10:00 a.m., and sometimes have to take classes.
Evening closing back to the rental room is already 12 midnight, after counting the goods and accounts is usually 1:00 a.m., after two hours of sleep and ride an electric car to Jiangxia to buy melons. This is the way to get through most of the summer.
Selling fruits with big data thinking
The location of this store in Huanong is too remote, Hu Yong and team members have thought of a lot of promotional methods, but still losing money. Hu Yong said he analyzed the daily operating data and concluded that as long as the number of active members reached 800 people can be profitable.
Sure enough, after three months of continuous losses, the business took a turn for the better, "the most powerful day sold more than 3,000 orders, a day of running water income reached 28,000 yuan."
He consciously do statistics on the fruit sold, and the team together to build their own data analysis model, the "inventory management approach" and "gross margin algorithm".
After the success of the Huanong store, they opened branches in various universities in Jiangxia, and went out of the campus to open the store to the community. 2013, the first standard store pro orchard opened, and in 2014 continued to open five directly-managed stores and more than a dozen franchises. Now, they use the "Internet +" to develop network sales channels, with 22 physical stores, direct stores expanded to Suizhou, Huangshi and other cities.
Seek a new breakthrough in the mode of operation
In 2013, the pro orchard opened the first boutique, Wuhan local boutique fruit store Tianxiang orchard was also established at this time. 2014, Shenzhen fruit boutique giant Park fruit garden stationed in Wuhan, stores all over Wuhan three towns. 2015, Wuhan fruit industry competition has entered the stage of white-hot, the light of the boutique there are more than 200.
"Wuhan's fruit industry has gone through an introductory period, and is now in the growth period, not yet in the maturity period." Hu Yong said that over the years he witnessed and participated in the transformation of the fruit industry in Wuhan, and did not dare to slacken off at all. "Want to develop must have a breakthrough in the mode of operation."
His desk at home is full of economics and management books, which he turns over every day after work. He also encourages his staff to read together: "We open a 'pro-orchard' book club once a month, and we all make a PPT of our reading notes and exchange them together." "From product to model to capital, we still have a long way to go. That's what makes me feel there is still some meaning and more motivation." Hu Yong encouraged himself in his circle of friends.
Insights:
Fruit is a very competitive industry, and there is a certain degree of specialization. Hu Yong's success depends on his willingness to use his brain more than the average operator to grasp the vital aspects of the business process and make timely adjustments to the strategy. For example, when he opened his first fruit store, although he lost money at the beginning, he knew the key point to turn the situation around in the number of members, and knew how long he lost money to make money, limiting the risk to a manageable range. This sense of risk and from the experience of the previous stall failure, he experienced those setbacks is the intangible capital of his business.
Currently their development is also facing a crossroads. Choosing to open stores in more cities can only be a tactic, not a strategy, because their competition with peers is inevitable. What they should do more is to clarify their business attributes, integrate resources, and form core competencies.
