Yiwu Industrial and Commercial College, known as "Taobao University", is absolutely different among universities in China. In this alternative university, there is also a student who makes all the teachers and students feel incredible-Shi.
At the beginning, in order to start a business in Taobao University and change his fate, he resolutely abandoned the "two books" and lowered his status to "two specialties"; After entering the school with a loan, I hardly attended classes and failed six subjects within two years. But it is this "hanging technology king" that has made great achievements in entrepreneurship. Freshman earned 20 thousand, sophomore bought a car and started a company, with assets reaching hundreds of thousands; The sales in March are millions!
According to the school rules, he should be expelled from the school because he failed too many courses; According to Taobao's "entrepreneurial income standard", he was well-deserved as an "excellent graduate". How did the school "dispose" him? One year after graduation, what kind of papers did the 22-year-old boy hand over?
Poor students study "major" instead of "foundation" to start a business.
From 65438 to 0990, Shi was born in a poor peasant family in the suburb of Zhengzhou, Henan. His parents earn very little money by farming, and the family life is very difficult. After graduating from high school, he watched his classmates shopping on Taobao with their mobile phones and was very envious. Once, he couldn't stand the encouragement of his classmates, so he took out half a month's living expenses and bought a pair of jeans from 90 yuan online. As a result, his parents flew into a rage, forced him to pay it back, and was passed on as a joke by his classmates. Shi held back the tears of injustice and secretly vowed that he must make money by himself and change his destiny in the future.
Before the college entrance examination in 2009, Shi happened to see the enrollment brochure of "Taobao Class" in Yiwu Industrial and Commercial College on the Internet. The school has an avant-garde and alternative way of running a school, and has set up a "Taobao" major to teach students to start a business on Taobao. Now a group of "entrepreneurs" with an annual income of over 10,000 or even hundreds of thousands have been trained. Shi was very moved after reading it: if he signed up for school, he would start a business while going to school in the future, make money as soon as possible, and never have to ask poor parents for money again. So, as soon as the college entrance examination was over, he borrowed hundreds of dollars to go to Yiwu for inspection. He had no money to stay in a hotel, so he slept in the waiting room of Yiwu Railway Station at night.
The inspection process was very hard, but the result made Shi very satisfied. Yiwu is the world's largest distribution center for small commodities, with the richest, most complete and cheapest sources of goods in China. After the rise of e-commerce in 2006, Yiwu became a paradise for Taobao entrepreneurs by virtue of its inherent advantages in supply and logistics. Yiwu Industrial and Commercial College established "Entrepreneurship College" and opened "Taobao Entrepreneurship Class". In just one or two years, there have been several millionaires in this school ... These situations have opened Shi's eyes and strengthened his confidence in applying for this school.
At the end of June, 2009, the results of the college entrance examination came out, and the stone test scored more than 500 points, reaching the admission scores of two colleges and universities. Yiwu Industrial and Commercial College is only the second batch of colleges, with an admission score of less than 400 points. I heard that Shi is going to give up his "two books" and apply for "two junior colleges" to go to a school that is three grades behind. The students all said that he was crazy. The head teacher advised him not to joke about his future with a dignified face. However, in the face of repeated persuasion, Shi insisted on what he saw. He thought very clearly that the tuition fees of undergraduate colleges are too high for his family to afford, and it is not easy to find a job after graduation; Although Yiwu Industrial and Commercial College is only a junior college, its name is not very nice, but it is very real. You can start a business while studying and be your own boss after graduation. If you want to "turn over the salted fish", only start a business!
Shi was dumbfounded when he filled in his volunteers-the "Taobao class" of Yiwu Industrial and Commercial College only recruited students from Zhejiang Province, not from Henan Province! He looked at the information repeatedly before and didn't notice it. Therefore, Shi quickly called the Admissions Office of Yiwu Industrial and Commercial College and asked if he could recruit outside the policy with a score of 100. But Shi tried his best, but the other party told him it was impossible. However, the teacher of the Admissions Office saw that he was so persistent in studying in our school, so he told him a compromise-first apply to other majors in our school and then transfer to Taobao class after entering school. Therefore, Shibao reported to the hotel management and service major of the school's Humanities Tourism Branch.
In mid-August, 2009, Shi received the admission notice from Yiwu Industrial and Commercial College. Shi, eager to start a business, couldn't wait for school to start, so he packed his bags and set off for school. When the school didn't start and he couldn't arrange accommodation, he went to Xuefeng Building, where the Entrepreneurship College was located, and gained the right to "live" in the classroom by helping sophomores manage online stores.
September 1, school finally started. Shi had no money to sign up, so he applied for a student loan through the school. After entering the school, he changed his major and came to the Taobao class of the Entrepreneurship College. Finally, he entered the dream "Taobao class" and changed his fate. Shi was so excited that he didn't sleep a wink for two days. During this time, he has heard many examples of seniors successfully starting businesses through Taobao. One of the most famous is Yang Fugang, majoring in logistics in 2006. He couldn't even afford the tuition when he entered school, but he left school in a Cadillac luxury car when he graduated. Shi is determined to become the "second Yang Fugang" of Yiwu Industrial and Commercial College.
Hang six subjects for two years
Entrepreneurial talents encounter the storm of "persuasion"
As a university aiming at cultivating practical talents, Yiwu Industrial and Commercial College provides a very relaxed learning environment for Taobao classes: students can take the following order in class: they are allowed to skip classes as long as their final grades are qualified; Taobao level can be scored, and one drill can score two credits; Students have a special storage classroom ... On the eighth day of school, Shi bought a dozen small commodities in the wholesale market with his own hundreds of dollars and opened his own Taobao shop.
At the beginning, Shi, like all the first shopkeepers, stayed in front of the computer every day and was afraid to leave when eating. But a week has passed, and the online store is nobody's business. By asking the teacher, Shi knew that opening an online shop should also be an "advertisement". Under the guidance of teachers, I posted friends in Taobao Space, Taobao University, Taojiang Lake and Taogang, and made soft articles and advertisements in major forums. In addition, he went to interactive communities such as Baidu, Zhihu, Tencent and Taobao to answer questions from netizens ... Besides, he also made great efforts to decorate online stores. He made the webpage beautiful, and borrowed the best camera from his classmates to take pictures of the goods again.
After 10 days, Shi finally received a list of profits only from 2 yuan. In order to earn 2 yuan back, he didn't care to eat, so he brought the goods to express delivery and sent a small gift to the buyer. As a result, the buyer was very satisfied and gave him favorable comments. Hard work finally paid off, and Shi began to work hard on service again. As long as there is a buyer's consultation, he is extremely patient to "serve". Sometimes in order to get praise, he even chooses to make a deal without making a penny. Because of Shi's good service attitude, real product description and fast delivery, the buyer has a good impression on him and he has become his repeat customer.
In order to know what goods sell well, Shi goes to the hot list on Taobao's homepage every day, and then selects some hot goods according to the market wind direction. On June 5438+065438+ 10, 2009, the sudden cold wave made the south extremely cold. Shi Hao Jie was keenly aware that winter products would sell well, so he entered a product called "USB warm shoes". This kind of rechargeable warm shoes brought him the first trading peak since he opened the store. Many times, he can sell hundreds of pairs a day and earn thousands of dollars. Later, in order to prepare for Christmas, Shi bought a large number of Christmas gifts one month in advance, which created a new wave of trading peaks.
