About 2013, I was selling houses in Chongqing. During that time, I went to the streets to promote my house, that is, to hand out leaflets.
The summer in Chongqing was very hot. I was tired after working for a long time, so I sat on the roadside steps to rest. At this time, a man came across from Qian, wearing a gray T-sleeve that was popular in the 1990s. Wearing sleeves, a pair of pleated trousers, with one trouser leg rolled up to the knee and the other trouser leg rolled up to the ankle. Such an unkempt person walked up to me, and I had no desire to hand over the flyer.
After a while, I felt someone coming from behind, so I held out the flyer and said, "Look at the house." The flyer was caught by the person behind me. I turned around and saw, isn't it? That big brother just now? However, I politely stood up and had a brief exchange with him, describing where our community would be built, when the house would be handed over, and so on. Finally, I asked him if he wanted to go and have a look. He said that he should go and have a look. At that time, we needed to see a house and the sales department had a special car to pick us up. I asked if we could call a car to pick us up. My eldest brother said no, I have a car. I saw him take out the key from his bag, with a blue rope hanging on it like the one on the work badge, tied it to his belt, went to a nearby parking lot, and parked in front of a BMW. At that time, I My eyes almost popped out of my head, so I went to the back and took a look, it was a BMW 740Li. I don’t know how much it costs, but I know the BMW 7 Series is not cheap. We chatted for a while along the way. He is a fellow countryman of mine from Nanchong. In his early years, he made a fortune collecting scrap iron in Chongqing. Along the way, he lamented that business is not easy to do now. When I arrived at the sales department, I brought it to the real estate consultant. I was afraid that the real estate consultant would judge people by their appearance, so they took advantage of the elder brother's time to go to the toilet to tell the real estate consultant that someone else drove a BMW 740. After looking at the house, my eldest brother came out and asked me where I lived. Because it was just after get off work time, my eldest brother even sent me back to my place. The next day I asked the real estate consultant if the elder brother from yesterday had decided to buy it, and the young lady said not yet.
A few days later, the real estate consultant came to me and said, my eldest brother is here to buy a house. The largest apartment, full payment is required! From now on, judging people by their appearance will never happen to me. Even if I already know the details of others, I will not look down on others.
In real life, some businesses may seem inconspicuous, but they allow some people to make a lot of money without showing off. There is an example of smart elderly care around me.
We all know that China now has a huge aging population. Apart from taking their grandchildren to and from school, most elderly people have a lot of free time and are alone at home with no one to accompany them. This elder brother planned to build a place based in a densely populated area. It has a sports area, a talent display area, a reading area, a physical therapy area, a dining area, a tourist area, a shopping area and a traditional Chinese medicine museum area. In it, the elderly basic needs can be met.
1. Sports area. There are some simple sports equipment here: table tennis, yoga, fitness equipment, chess and card room, etc. The elderly can choose different items according to their hobbies.
2. Talent display area. Here, you can show off any talent you have: singing, dancing, painting, calligraphy, photography, etc.
3. Reading area. There is a small reading room here, which contains some Chinese and foreign classics and health care books. As long as you are a member here, you can choose your favorite books to read.
4. Physiotherapy area. There are some simple physical therapy equipment here, such as ginger therapy, moxibustion, steaming, traditional Chinese medicine foot soaks, etc. Of course, there are specialized service staff in this area, who have been trained and learned to work, to serve the elderly in this area.
5. Dining area. The catering here is unique. There are no traditional chefs. There are just these elderly people. They play the role of chefs. They each cook some special dishes and share them with each other. Then they communicate with each other and share their experiences. They have a lot of fun and are very comfortable.
6. Tourism area. The tourism here has a special department that regularly plans some travel routes suitable for the elderly, and then registers and organizes groups to travel to famous mountains, rivers, lakes and seas. The routes are planned by ourselves and our own staff lead the tours, rather than outsourcing them. It's like a travel agency, so seniors can feel at ease.
7. Shopping area.
In the shopping area are some simple necessities of life, including green foods selected through their selection, such as grain and oil, rice, Gynostemma pentaphyllum, milk powder, etc. Occasionally, they will visit some rural areas to help farmers share some of the healthy and organic unsalable products, such as persimmons, pomegranates, etc.
8. Traditional Chinese Medicine Area. The elderly are more or less suffering from some chronic diseases. Here are the famous old Chinese doctors they have recruited, who can help the elderly relieve some of their illnesses to a certain extent and at the same time spread the knowledge of health and wellness.
The smart elderly care center, although small, has all the internal organs. I can feel that the elderly are very happy here. There are people chatting and playing chess with them, and it is a happy scene. This kind of smart elderly care center is very popular with the elderly because it creates warmth and feelings. I applaud their behavior. It adopts a membership system. Anyone who has passed the examination and has no infectious diseases can apply for membership. The price is very affordable for members, more than two yuan a day. It has grown from a small store at the beginning to ten stores now. , more than 30,000 members. So nothing can stand against the crowd, and he has accumulated considerable wealth without knowing it. Conservative estimates suggest that this eldest brother is worth hundreds of millions, but he is very low-key, with a slightly chubby figure, dressed in sportswear, and a car. Ordinary cars are just means of transportation.
In summary, some humble businesses have made many multi-millionaires. This is all due to their vision and persistence, as well as their low-key luxury and connotation!
I own a restaurant and have been buying kitchen utensils, pots and pans from a boss named Tang. Boss Tang opened a hardware department store with an area of ??70 to 80 square meters. Boss Tang is very hard-working and wears clothes every day. The boss is also very ordinary, and the person is also a kind of unremarkable person. I always thought that this boss must have made a little money, but it wasn’t until I chatted with him one day that I realized that this guy is not simple. He has three houses in Chongqing, and each one has been paid in full for 2 million. He owns a truck and a Ford car, and his son drives a BMW. I was really shocked at that moment! How could he make so much money selling this? Later he told me that he had been in this business as soon as he came out of society, and had been doing it for almost 20 years in Guangdong. In 2016, most of the money was made in Guangdong. Later, the market was not so good, so I switched back to Chongqing to open a store the year before last!
Chongqing is not as easy to make money as in Guangdong. There are not so many anymore, but these years have been quite hard, and I feel that I am getting older. I will retire after a few more years of work!
Share two real cases around me. The stories of these two people have done something for me. The impact is particularly large.
The first case is my sister’s best friend, I call her Sister Baolin. She went out to work after graduating from technical secondary school. When I first met her in 2004, she and her sister were working in an electronics factory. I remember that their salary was less than 1,000 yuan per month at that time. Later, they started renting counters in shopping malls to do clothing business. My sister could not persist due to the pressure of life and returned to work, while sister Baolin still insisted on doing business and went to Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen to trade electronic components. Now, my sister is still working, and her monthly salary does not exceed 5,000 yuan. However, after more than ten years of accumulation, Sister Baolin has her own company, with an annual turnover of more than 100 million and a net profit of about 20 million.
The experiences of Sister Baolin and my sister tell me that it is impossible to change much in the life of working people, and it is only possible by starting a business.
The second case is a friend I met during my second project. My second project was a children's educational robot that I acted for last year. It was a micro-business project. It turns out that I have a little bias against the psychology of micro-business, and I don’t really believe that someone can make micro-business big. I initially represented this product purely because I wanted to learn their model. Until I met this friend, Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang turned out to be just a mother who worked in a beauty salon in a small county town, although she had a facade and was doing a good job in providing food and clothing. But in 2017, his husband lost money in business and suddenly felt the pressure of debt, and had to consider another way to repay the debt. At that time, Ms. Yang learned about this children's education robot. She felt that the market for children's education was huge, so she started working part-time to make money. Mr. Yang said that when she first started doing it, there were all kinds of difficulties and ups and downs. But she persisted and learned at the same time. After three years, she has more than 10,000 agents, mainly Baoma. Last year, her team's turnover was 320 million. It is initially estimated that her income should be more than 30 million.
Perfect counterattack!
Mr. Yang’s case tells me that no matter what you do, only if you persist can you make it big.
So, my current principle of doing things is also very simple: choose a good project and stick to it!
I am Tan Mingshou, and I am doing my first entrepreneurial review. I will tell you about my 88 pitfall experiences and be a lightning rod for you on your entrepreneurial journey. Think, summarize, and start again!
I just started a small business and earned more than 3 million a year. Now, after more than three years of hard work, I have more than 13 million in my card.
A real case around me, it turns out that I didn’t know he was so rich
