Post-80s entrepreneurial success story 1
Song Huateng graduated in 2007 from Tianjin Nanyang Vocational and Technical School, majoring in mechatronics. During his internship at the factory, he was unfortunately injured, but the factory did not reimburse him. After having trouble finding a job, he found a good project - joining the ice cream franchise, and then started his entrepreneurial career selling ice cream. But a few months later, Song Huateng opened another training class. Ice cream and training classes have nothing to do with each other. How did he embark on the path of training?
Unfortunately, he was injured during a factory internship. When he graduated from junior high school in 2003, his family chose Tianjin Nanyang Career for Song Huateng. Technical school, I also chose mechatronics. At that time, they all felt that this major had a future and was very practical. When he entered school, Song Huateng found that he had no interest in this major. He couldn't say he liked it, but he didn't dislike it either. Later, I got more exposure and gradually fell in love with the mechanical and electrical major. Since he prefers drawing, when they were learning electromechanical drawing, he became very interested in this course, and his academic performance improved by leaps and bounds.
In September 2006, Song Huateng responded to the school’s call and went to a heavy industry factory to intern as a line scribing fitter. In the factory, he worked as an apprentice under a master. Because he asked questions when he didn't understand and was diligent, he won the favor of the master. Although he only had a salary of 500 yuan a month at that time, and it was very dirty and tiring. Sometimes his hands would be pricked even if he wore leather gloves, but he still insisted on working. Because he likes his job very much, the factory director also said that after the three-month internship period, his salary will be increased to 700 yuan. So he worked very hard.
On October 31, the factory director asked him to work overtime in the assembly area. Although they marked the line as not requiring overtime, Song Huateng went anyway. On the assembly side, Song Huateng was mainly responsible for assembling the large rolling mill. Since the machine was not high enough and needed to be cushioned, he took a piece of U-shaped iron weighing about 50 kilograms and placed it on top of the square box. What I didn't expect was that there was a lot of oil on the square box, and the U-shaped iron slipped and fell from the machine that was more than 1 meter high. Seeing that something was wrong, Song Huateng immediately jumped back and dodged. However, the matter was not over yet, the U-shaped iron suddenly bounced up. Song Huateng had never seen anything like this before. Before he could react, the U-shaped iron hit the big toe of his left foot. He didn't feel any pain at first, and was secretly glad that he was fine.
Later I took off my shoes and saw that my socks were all red. After a while, he felt so much pain that his whole body became cold. However, he remained silent until he returned home. When he got home, everyone in his family was already asleep, so Song Huateng went to bed without disturbing them. The next day, Song Huateng told his parents about his broken foot. His parents were worried that his toes would be broken, so they went to the hospital with him for a check-up. After examination, the doctor said it was an open fracture and required surgery to remove the nail. Song Huateng asked for leave from the factory director and was hospitalized for treatment. The entire treatment cost more than 3,000 yuan.
After the operation, Song Huateng rested at home for three months. Although the injury did not heal,3 he returned to work in the factory. After returning to the factory, Song Huateng remembered going to the factory director to ask for the cost of treatment. At the beginning, the factory director said there would be no reimbursement. Helpless, Song Huateng went to the labor supervision department. Through coordination between the two parties, the factory director gave him 80% of his salary for three months, 1,200 yuan, but the medical expenses were not reimbursed. Fortunately, the insurance paid by the school had not yet expired, so it reimbursed him part of it. After that, Song Huateng returned to work in the factory. The factory director said that if he wanted to work in the factory, he would have to start from scratch, and his previous internships would not be counted. Song Huateng didn't care about anything and continued to work there. However, the factory elder always made trouble for him no matter what. In June 2007, Song Huateng submitted his resignation and left the factory.
Joined the ice cream shop to open a small shop
After resigning, Song Huateng stayed at home for 2 months, but he was not idle either. He kept trying to find a job, but could not find a suitable one. own. He took advantage of his break to attend Radio and TV University, wanting to learn more knowledge. When he was attending Radio and Television University, a classmate told him that he wanted to do something on his own and asked Song Huateng if he wanted to start his own business. After listening to that classmate's words, Song Huateng also came up with the idea of ??starting a business and started looking for projects.
Song Huateng started searching on the Internet. He saw on U88 that the 2 yuan store franchise was good, and he wanted to join. However, after investigation, he found that many people around him were opening 2-yuan stores, so he gave up temporarily. Later, he saw ice cream on the Internet, was very interested, and wanted to join. But it was almost autumn at that time, and the ice cream market was not that big, so I gave up the idea.

A senior who did not receive a college diploma 5 years ago is now a small boss with two branches. Five years later, after many twists and turns, his hand-painted T-shirts and hand-painted shoes were wholesaled to Hong Kong, China, France, and the United States through the Internet. While he was negotiating business with venture capital investors, he confidently dreamed of going public.
6,000 yuan to start a business
Li Wen, born in 1983, studied finance at Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics. "Li Wen's opening remarks were very much like a college student's self-introduction during an interview. He likes reading, traveling, and making friends, but he hates mathematics courses in college. The direct consequence is that he will not get a diploma. In this regard, Li Wen Wen never cared.
“Because I like it, I choose it. "Li Wen answered the reason why he started his own business.
After graduating, Li Wen worked in Shanghai for more than a year. In Shanghai, he saw someone wearing a T-shirt with a line drawing of "Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu". He found it very interesting. He wanted to buy it but couldn't, so he thought this was a business opportunity. Later, an advertisement from PPG, an online clothing direct seller, inspired Li Wen to start his own business. He felt, "It would be very promising to build a personalized clothing website that specializes in customizing and selling personalized T-shirts."
Li Wen He used the 6,000 yuan he saved to start his own business. He found two partners, who were classmates in junior high school and high school. They had a good relationship and understood each other. The only thing that makes Li Wen depressed is that his parents do not support this. "They don't understand e-commerce and online shopping. They think computers are just for playing games and not doing their job properly." Li Wen's parents hope that he can find an "iron job" Work.
However, the pressure at home did not make Li Wen think about giving up. Three people and two computers completed sales of 30,000 yuan in one month in June 2006, making a net profit of 12,000 yuan. "We were extremely confident and felt that there would definitely be investors rushing to invest in us, so I wrote a business plan and started the process of attracting investments." Li Wen began to look forward to a bright future.
Dreams are helpless in reality. "When dreams are reflected in reality, you will find that the dreams reflected in reality are so ethereal and helpless." After contacting several potential investors, Li Wen's confidence began to collapse. Not only will investors not invest in this "nascent" "post-80s generation", but the door to bank loans is also closed to such customers who have no assets or mortgages.
At this time, Li Wen, who lacked capital investment, encountered operational problems again. Since we were only in the student class uniform market at the beginning, the single product we operated led to obvious sales seasonality. In June, we could get an income of 30,000 yuan, but in July it dropped sharply to 5,000 yuan. By August, sales had already reached 10%. The company's profits are quickly depleted.
The house leaked and it rained continuously. The other two members of the entrepreneurial team also chose to leave due to family pressure, and Li Wen became the "single commander."
Li Wen felt deeply helpless about the reality. However, he did not lose confidence and hope in the business model in his heart. I am good at supporting myself as a freelancer, while constantly looking for information to enrich and improve my business model."
Entering the "fast lane" after making a comeback
"Liberating" for more than a year. Li Wen finally made a comeback at the end of 2007. This time, he met the person he would be grateful for in his life, his brother who slept in the lower bunk in the university dormitory - Li Wenlong. Li Wenlong once worked in the foreign trade mold business in Shenzhen and made the "first pot of gold" in his life. By chance, Li Wenlong came to Li Wen's residence and saw the business plan left on his computer desktop. Li Wenlong was "very interested" in Li Wen's business model. He resolutely decided to give up the potential dividend of 200,000 yuan in the Shenzhen foreign trade company and partner with Li Wen to start a "second business".
Due to the lack of technical experience, the brothers recruited Xie Longlin, who had many years of experience in the clothing ironing and dyeing industry, to join them as a shareholder, and the new entrepreneurial team was established. On April 8, 2008, Nanchang NoStyle Industrial Co., Ltd. was officially registered and established with a registered capital of 500,000 yuan and an initial investment of 100,000 yuan.
After the new company was established, Li Wen had capital and decided to go big. This time, Li Wen's products not only cover a variety of hand-painted and printed T-shirts, but also a variety of unique and creative hand-painted shoes. For the "post-80s" and "post-90s" who pursue individuality, the market prospects are not promising. Suspect.
However, shopping malls are like battlefields, and there is no room for "hot-heading". The inexperienced Li Wen made another mistake.

Each cost was expensive, which affected the company's cash flow. quickly reached the brink of crisis.

The number of agency customers across the country has doubled, including Hong Kong, China and France. Overseas Chinese in China, the United States and other places are also optimistic about Li Wen's products, and the company's orders are usually placed several months later.
In 2009, Northdale's total revenue exceeded 1 million yuan; in March 2010, Jiangxi Ganzhou Nankang Branch was established.
Li Wen is currently in contact with venture capitalists. He hopes to use the help of venture capital to achieve faster development of the company. He believes that "the development of e-commerce no longer allows them to rely on their own accumulation to develop slowly." He must rely on the power of capital and "stand on the shoulders of giants." He needs the capital, connections and management experience brought by venture capital. . Li Wen told reporters confidently and calmly, "My company can go public."
"Entrepreneurship is a reversal drama. No one can guess the outcome until the end." In Li Wen's self-edited In the self-directed life movie, he is the protagonist of this "reversal drama".
