After failing in the college entrance examination in 2004, Li Xiang, who was full of longing for the future and Gao Zhiyuan, fell into endless loss and depression. He stayed at home all day, unwilling to see anyone or talk. Looking at his parents who make a living by selling cheap labor, his temples are gray, and he can't bear to choose to repeat. One month after the college entrance examination, Li wanted to leave his hometown, dragging his tired body and mind and being at a loss about the future.
Unwilling to be lonely, resolutely embark on the road of entrepreneurship.
It was a difficult time to meet him, from Qingdao to Yantai, from the logistics of selling coolies to the stinking small fishing gear factory, and then to the monotonous paper mill ... In the complicated and hectic work and life, Li Xiang always felt a little agitated and depressed.
At that time, the only thing that could bring him comfort was reading the stories of successful people, imagining that he had become the protagonist and was starting his own career. ...
"My life can never be like this! I want to realize my dream by starting a business. " Li Xiang finally couldn't bear his inner loneliness and started his entrepreneurial career. Because there was not much money, at that time, Li thought that only 20 thousand yuan soaked his sweat and even tears, and it was hard-earned money earned under extremely difficult working conditions; He didn't have any entrepreneurial experience, so he began to look for suitable small-scale entrepreneurial projects around his life and the Internet, so that even if his business failed, he wouldn't lose too much economically.
Shop around and open a car wash shop cautiously.
Occasionally, Li wanted to get in touch with a small-scale entrepreneurial project of car washing. After learning about the situation through the internet, he was "surrounded" by long-lost excitement. Li Xiang strongly feels that the opportunity to start a business has finally come and he can develop his career in the sunrise industry of automobile service.
After some thinking, Li Xiang decided to join a chain car wash company, because such a company has a mature market operation model. After joining, he received their training and his company will start operation soon.
Trouble soon appeared. Li wants to know through online inquiry that there are many companies that come to wash cars, including "car washers", "car nurses" and "car cleaners" ... At that time, there were many online fraud companies, and many people found themselves cheated after joining. Which is more reliable?
After comprehensive comparison, Li Xiang tends to choose "car washer" or "car nanny". "Car washer" gives people a more real feeling, while "car nanny" gives people a more atmospheric feeling. After a simple telephone consultation and comparison, Li Xiang decided to go to Shanghai for a field trip to the "car nanny".
After a day's train ride, he came to Shanghai, a metropolis, excited and excited. Li Xiang went directly from the railway station to the "car nanny" headquarters in Xuhui District, Shanghai. A responsible person introduced him to the relevant situation of the project, and he was more confident. He saw someone signing a contract, and Li later wanted to be friends with this person, but later his friend didn't do it.
Li Xiang once asked him, "Is this project reliable?" He said that he recognized this industry with little investment and little loss. This made Li Xiang almost impulsively sign the contract at that time, but later he decided to learn more about the situation. He asked the person in charge again: "There are so many similar companies, what advantages do you have over them? Why do so many people on the Internet scold your company? " As a result, the person in charge pulled his face down and said, "The project is like this. After you join, we will give you a training CD and you can go back to school yourself. " He is not satisfied with the practice of this company.
After another night's train ride, Li wants to come to Jinan's "car wash family". He told the other party directly that this project must be done. He has been to Shanghai before, and he wants to see more so as not to suffer. The other party took him to the training ground first, washed a whole car for him to see on the spot, and told him that only car washing equipment can wash a good car. At the same time, he also told him some business skills, such as how to sell car wash cards to customers, how to let customers continue to apply for cards, how to enter the community to do projects, how to develop hotel models and so on. Li thinks this company is very professional. Moreover, the other party also agreed to his request to check the operation of franchisees. Li wants to find that most franchisees are in good condition and are satisfied with this company. Li Xiang finally made a decision: to join the "car wash family".
Before joining the company, he asked if the company could train him. The other party said with a smile: "Car washer requires franchisees to receive training, otherwise how can we improve the efficiency of car washing and how to avoid some problems?" After joining, it is mainly to see if it will operate. If I can't operate, how can I do a good job of car washing? "
So Li wants to join the "car wash family". After two days of training, he embarked on the road back to Yantai to start a business. ...
Sincere service wins customers and reputation.
After Li returned to Yantai, he went through the formalities of resignation. He rented a house in Yantai Development Zone and invited three colleagues who used to work in a logistics company to start a business together. They agreed. So, Li Xiang and four people started their entrepreneurial journey. He said he had no choice but to succeed. ...
Now Li Xiang is a successful entrepreneur. He serves customers with sincere and high-quality car washing. He has won the reputation and trust of customers, and many car owners have established friendship with him and become his long-term customers. Li Xiang represented a fuel-saving product and disinfection products in the car through car wash service, and the profit from operating the product was not less than that from car wash. Li Xiang's company has nine workers, and he is full of confidence. The savings in his hand are increasing day by day. Li wants to bring his elderly parents from rural areas with difficult conditions to cities, so that they can live a leisurely and comfortable life.
Only Li wants to know the hardships he experienced during his entrepreneurship. He didn't go home for several years during the Spring Festival, because the car washing industry was the busiest at that time, and the coldest outside, the biting cold wind often soaked him to the skin. Of course, the hardships of starting a business go far beyond these. The hardships of starting a business and unfair competition in the same industry ... In retrospect, Li Xiang can't help feeling a lot. He was grateful for these hardships, because they made him understand the meaning of life and learn to grow.
Li Xiang said, to sum up, four aspects are very important for him to achieve entrepreneurial profit: the starting point of entrepreneurship should not exceed his own reality; Choose industries with development potential; Be cautious in the choice of joining brand enterprises; Pay attention to service quality, do every detail carefully and serve sincerely.
Now, Li Xiang is working with his brothers towards a bigger and further goal, that is, one day to own his own brand store and blossom everywhere.
