What was the low point in your life? How did you get through it?

Luckily, when I was in college, I caught the rise of Taobao, and I was one of the first Taobao sellers to earn more than 100,000 dollars during my college years through the platform of Boss Ma. These money I did not spend a penny, are saved up (with my partner's good brother Dafei, his share of the buy a Volkswagen Golf, in the campus bubble girl). The first thing I've learned is that I'm not the only one who's been in the business for a long time, and I'm not the only one who's been in the business for a long time, but I'm not the only one who's been in the business for a long time.

The first year after graduation, I was in a small county in the province, rented a store, began my small restaurant small boss career, really get up earlier than the chicken, do more than cattle tired. Because of the barbecue, every night is up to two o'clock in the morning to sleep, encounter drunkards, trouble, fighting, this night is not want to sleep. In order to save labor, I put myself also as a waiter busy, catering industry staff turnover rate is very large, I became my store's multi-faceted, what procurement, marinade, ingredients, by the way, I will also kebabs ...... but I also get what I deserve.

It was the next year that I opened a bigger store, and so the weeks went by, and 3 years after graduation, I had 4 stores. I really respect Mr. Lee's business philosophy, which is not to put eggs in one basket. In the restaurant business, every item has a low season, but if you open a few more items, the low season will be staggered, and you will have a high season every month of the 12 months of the year. These four stores are, respectively, barbecue, hot pot, Korean cuisine, Northeast farm food.

Compared with my peers, I've been brilliant (except for various second generation), and my annual profit, pure profit reached more than 1 million, and I relied on myself, not relying on my family for a penny, I bought a 160 square meter house with a river view, and lived a quality life. I don't have to go to the store every day, because I hired a store manager to manage each store, and I live a good life. While my classmates were still worrying about which company to jump to because they were not doing well in their companies, I was thinking about which stock to buy and whether to invest in the logistics industry. I seemed to get all the things that my peers wanted to get, and became a so-called, successful person.

But everything didn't seem to be going so well, and now I really believe in that saying, it's easy to start a business, but hard to keep it. If you have friends who do catering, you should be able to feel that from 2010, the catering industry can start to experience the coolness of winter. From 2010, my store began to slump, but I did not pay attention, because only a small amount of turnover decline, but it is because of my lack of attention, leading to wait for me to begin to pay attention to up, has been too late, the loss of a large number of guests.

Of course, if the business problem, it is not a problem for me, sooner or later can be corrected, but also a lot of factors, the pressure of my breath. The failure of investment, the villain's calculations, I was at the end of 2011, bankruptcy, store exchange, house sold, the result is still owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.

After I graduated from college, I didn't have a day of work, in order to survive, I had to find a job, live, is my biggest belief at that time. But when I realized that all the jobs I could find were not as high as the waitresses in my store at the time, I grew up so big that I was hit for the first time, and I began to doubt my own ability.

In fact, if it is just to find a job porridge, it is not so difficult, the difficulty is that I earn 1500 dollars a month, when and how can I pay off hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt? Debtors call every day to ask for debt, and some people even found a debt collection agency, I will be beaten up, the deadline must pay back the money, otherwise I want a hand.

I myself does not matter, but my parents also every day with me the same by the mental aspect of the destruction, I was really the first time I had this idea: "Why do you want to start a business! Why can't you go to work like a normal person and live a normal life! Because you start a business, because you start a business failure, so even the family!!!"

Later, I made a decision, people in times of trouble, really what ideas can come up, people are forced out. Because of a certain big brother's point of view, but also my own unwillingness to life so can not turn over, I remembered to go abroad for gold. After that I began to operate quickly, after a short while, I went to the other side of the world, a developed country began to work, make money. Work more than 12 hours a day, heavy physical work, but this country pays you, is going to make you forget all the labor.

I worked my ass off, and then, through work, the network, met some of the local Chinese, we began to form a group, began to come out of the independent together to take jobs, I earned the money I began to work several times. When I saved enough money to pay off my debts and saved some of my own money for future development, I began to think about the future.

I can't stay young forever, and I envy the white-collar jobs of local whites in suits, but the immigration policy in this country is unusually tight, and some big brothers have been here for ten years and still haven't gotten their status, so I'm not willing to go on like this for the rest of my life, so I decided to go back to my country and start over.

I first paid all my debts, and after that there is still a part left, I decided to go to Japan to study, to improve themselves, to live the life they want, began to learn Japanese, began to plan for their future ...... Yes, that's it, now, I'm done with my storytelling.

Life's lows, everyone goes through them, and there's really nothing to be afraid of. When I was broke, the day before I sold my house, I once crossed one leg over a window of my 20th-floor home, ready to jump to free myself, and was yanked back by my dad. My dad dragged me back. We hugged and cried, and my dad said something I'll never forget, "Man, big man, be strong! There's nothing you can't overcome! If you die, your mom and I won't live!"

Dad's words made me strong, because I realized that my life is not just my own. So, even for the sake of my parents, I have to live well. (Source: Zhihu)
