That year, we decided to go through the road of entrepreneurship. That year, the determination of 17 of us, that year we were in our youth!
We set off! Carrying us on our backs With their luggage, 17 people embarked on the road of entrepreneurship in Yiwu.
Facts have proved that there is a gap between ideal and reality. When we enthusiastically bought a batch of goods to sell, our hearts dropped. On the first night, the women's clothing group only sold a small coin purse because the address was not selected, and it was sold together with the toys. But the toys sold like crazy on the first day, with a net profit of more than 60 yuan. I am known as the "Toy Master", let you see how I got this title! First of all, I stare at the children passing by with bright eyes. Remember, children can't stand new things. The moment they leave their hearts is our opportunity. When the opportunity comes, we must reach out and seize it. Every time I see a child passing by looking back at our toy, I will catch up with the toy and teach him how to play with it, so that the child will fall in love with the toy. The next step is to attack the parents. "Sister (eldest brother), look, the children like it so much, just buy one." Under normal circumstances, parents will agree. Of course, it does not mean that you can sell it for as much as you want. Many parents will negotiate a price, and the last 10 Yuan items can only be sold for 8 yuan. In this process, we need to move people with emotion and let the price of the toys we sell reflect it. The profit margin of toys is not high. In one night, counting the number of toys may make people feel that they bought a lot, but the actual net profit gained is only a little. Moreover, there were about 10 members selling toys on the first night, which means that the average net profit earned by each person was only more than 6 yuan. Suddenly I felt that the ability of college students is really poor. Maybe we learn a lot in school classes, but we rarely have the ability to apply what we have learned in our actual lives. Therefore, practice has proved that after learning theoretical knowledge, it is very important to learn how to apply theoretical knowledge into practice. This requires us to continue to practice and train ourselves.
Our team has a rice ball group, they are the specialty of our team. Success is forged after countless practical failures, and the most important thing for success is the confidence that "I will succeed." Director Ling was the leader of the rice ball group. The day before departure, he suddenly came up with the idea of ??making rice balls, so he resolutely borrowed the wooden barrel for steaming rice and the big iron pot. However, a pot of burnt rice on the first day made Director Ling feel worried about his future and even wanted to give up. The atmosphere at the daily meeting that day was very cold. Director Ling cried aggrievedly. The captain was very determined to let Director Ling persevere. Gritting his teeth, Director Ling fought hard. At 3 o'clock in the morning the next day, all members of the rice ball team were dispatched. However, things didn't work out. The coal stove seemed to have a grudge against them. It took more than two hours and the fire was still not burning. There were all kinds of bitterness and tears, but the ending was still satisfying. , finally the fragrant glutinous rice came out. No one taught us how to make onigiri, but everything started from no one, we are self-taught. When the first batch of rice balls was sold out, our whole team was excited.
In the evening, the rice ball team was like Cinderella wearing a glass slipper, transforming into a women's clothing team. White T-shirts, handmade bags, handmade bracelets, rattan art...these things that are popular on university campuses are not popular in Yiwu. Director Ling is sad, and Brother Xia and Zhuzhi (actually, spider is easier to pronounce) are depressed. . Fortunately, they had the support of "Women's Friends" - Director Ling, and their performance was booming.
By chance, we discovered that there was a market and profit in selling mineral water, so we set up a water sales group. Every day I take a cart with me to the vegetable market to buy a big piece of ice, and then I go to the supermarket to buy a few boxes of mineral water. We sell water in the name of "charity sale". Selling water brings me all kinds of people I meet in the process. There was an uncle who was doing morning exercises at that time. He heard that we were a "charity sale" and he immediately took out 20 yuan and refused to ask for water, but I felt guilty and handed over the water. One of the teachers (I think) doubted us and asked us to talk to him in English. Finally, Xiaofen proved our identity with fluent English and student ID cards. Two aunts said: "Look, I'm also a college student. It's hard to sell water on a hot day. Just buy two bottles." Siwen once said that she thinks selling water should be done with a smiling face and a happy attitude. Welcome them, so that we can be happy selling and the customers can be happy buying.
The reward Siwen got was that a big brother bought water here because of the bright smile on Siwen's face. He said to Siwen: "Little girl, you are quite interesting." The process of selling water will inevitably become boring after a long time. How to relieve this boredom? The answer is - competition. Let's compete to see who is more charming. Everyone takes turns to see who sells more. Holding water in hand, we chased a certain sister closely, telling our stories non-stop, wearing white team uniforms and red hats, traveling through major parks and Guangzhou.
Experience It is a stepping stone to success. We know from the experience of our senior sister that the future of selling small pendants is bright. So, without saying a word, let’s do it! While the cute girls in the decoration team are making high profits, they are also suffering from the pain of escaping from the urban management. The highest record is 8 times a day, little heart! Sometimes, luck is also a kind of strength. . Xiaofen, Xiaoli and I found "Yiwu Film City" by chance. This location set up a gorgeous stage for our pendant sales. We learned how to find "little sheep" from Miss Linghui, and we seized the business opportunity by pretending to be "little sheep". Our enthusiasm and the excellent location allowed us to make a net profit of more than 380 yuan a day for three people. With this business , the water sales team is on track.
Is part-time work a business? As the Yiwu Entrepreneurship Team, should we start a business? We have been discussing this issue for a long time. Time is so entangled that many good part-time jobs are still missing from our hands. When we came to Yiwu and were not on track, we found that we had nothing to do during the day. At this time, we discovered that part-time jobs are also a very important part for us. Jun Yi is the "little part-time prince" of our team. He is mainly responsible for part-time work. Because he is not active enough, all the jobs he has worked hard to find are in vain. In our risky entrepreneurial activities, Jun Yi works silently. It adds a sense of stability to the entire business.
Everyone has his own dream and will work tirelessly for this dream. Fengchao also has his own small business dream - a small mobile phone film business. His business started simply with a cardboard box and a small brand. The reality was so cruel and his business was so bleak. He always thought he would give up the business soon, but it turned out that he persisted until the end. And what entrepreneurs want is persistence.
In the early preparations, those endless plans are not useless. A few words with the locals may inadvertently become the key to success. Knowing that selling snacks in the International Trade City was the way to go, the grand "Oatmeal Chocolate" plan was officially launched. The gross profit was 1,280 yuan, and the gross profit was 2,000 yuan. These figures brought our road to entrepreneurship to the top, and the goal is no longer far away. Look! Our feet have stepped into the door of success.
The process of starting a business is exciting, but the most exciting thing is the game rules created by Brother Hao, selling 4 boxes of water and fluorescent lights in half an hour. The sticks sell for 2 yuan (usually 50 cents)... There are various games, as long as you have the courage and courage. I still remember that time when I was selling glow sticks, I finally found a couple, but I I didn't rush up immediately and walked around them several times. Should I go up? Will it be successful? I was struggling in my heart. Finally, I strode forward and said to the young boy: "Handsome guy, buy one." Give a fluorescent bracelet to your girlfriend! Pink is good, pink represents pure love..." I said everything I could think of, and most of them were made up on the spot. After my repeated requests, The fluorescent bracelet was successfully sold at a price of two yuan. I have to sigh: It is so important to fully develop a person's knowledge, morality, intelligence, physical education and art.
On the way to starting a business, I cried and laughed. However, when the moment when the final goal was achieved, all of this turned into precious memories in my mind and will be treasured forever.
No regrets on the road to youth entrepreneurship!
