With a hint of unwillingness, he chose to start a business, start a business six times and fail six times. He feels very painful and confused, but he is unwilling to give in and constantly reflects on himself every day. On a lonely night, he shed tears. After so many failures, he began to doubt whether he really had that ability. The following year, introduced by a friend, he came to a big company in the city as a salesman, constantly improved his business skills in the sales process, and created millions of profits for the company with his persistence and perseverance.
She is "born after 80". In just four years, she jumped from an unknown college student to an enviable millionaire. This is Li Jian.
1985, Chien Sheng Li was born in Renxin, Haiyuan County, Ningxia. Mother Fu Zhaoe is an expert in paper-cutting and enjoys the reputation of "the first scissors in northwest China". Influenced by his mother, Li Jian loved paper-cutting art from an early age and dreamed of turning her mother's paper-cutting art into a commodity and pushing it to the world one day.
For this goal, Li Jian has been quietly working hard. In 2009, she graduated from Li Jian University, but instead of looking for a job like others, she borrowed 30,000 yuan from her mother to set up Ningxia Yimeng Yili Culture and Art Co., Ltd. At the beginning of the company's establishment, the first product developed by Li Jian was a paper-cut greeting card. In order to promote products, Li Jian runs a company and brings products into the meeting place every day. However, for a period of time, she didn't sell many greeting cards, but she "gained" a lot by supercilious look and ridicule. What makes her more anxious is that the money she borrowed from her mother before is almost spent. Fortunately, my lover Guohai brought her back 40,000 yuan from Fujian in time, which solved her urgent need.
In order to open up the business situation as soon as possible, Li Jian has been promoting greeting cards more diligently. Finally, Li Jian's efforts paid off. The first order is more than 300 greeting cards, which need to be delivered within one week. However, at that time, companies in Li Jian never hired workers because they had no business before. The feeling be nasty under, Li Jian will mother, sister and aunt together. But the family worked day and night with small scissors for four days and only finished the paper-cut part of the greeting card. Originally, I wanted the printing factory to do the rest of the printing, but because the print run was too small, the printing factory was unwilling to take over. In desperation, Li Jian had to stay in the office and print with a printer. It's cold. One of the husband and wife is responsible for printing and the other is responsible for hanging the greeting card on the ground. At this juncture, the printer broke down again. When the greeting card was finally finished, they had not slept for 24 hours.
After the completion of this order, although some orders were received later, most of the traditional paper-cut works were framed with white paper, which not only appeared low-grade, but also faded with the passage of time, and the market space was not large. Therefore, in the first year, Li Jian only sold more than 3,000 paper-cut greeting cards, earning less than 1000 yuan. If this continues, not only will the company's rent not be paid, but even the living expenses will become a problem. Li Jian is in trouble again.
"This traditional paper-cut market, no matter how hard you try, can only be so big at present. If you want to break through, you must innovate! " Thought of here, Li Jian, who never gave up easily, decided to go to the outside market to find a breakthrough in the paper-cut market. As a result, on a trip to Hangzhou, the soft and colorful Hangzhou silk suddenly attracted Li Jian's attention. Silk is of high quality and difficult to preserve. Why don't I try to make silk paper-cut paintings? "
After making up his mind, Li Jian gritted his teeth, wholesale more than 4,000 yuan of silk in one breath, and conducted experiments at home. She failed because of lack of experience. She beat Shui Piao with more than 4000 yuan and lost a lot of weight at once. Seeing his wife so tired, her husband Guohai was very distressed and advised her to say, "Let's give up! After all, no one has done this since the ancestors. " Facing her husband's suggestion, Li Jian not only didn't give up, but also persuaded her husband to agree to his suggestion of adding tens of thousands of yuan of investment again. After numerous experiments, Li Jian finally succeeded in blending paper-cutting art and silk harmoniously.
Because the melting silk paper-cut painting is not only high-grade and resistant to preservation, but also has the charm of Chinese painting and a strong folk flavor of returning home. Therefore, once this new product of Li Jian was launched, it was very popular. By 20 1 1, the company's total sales have reached 3.7 million yuan, which exceeded 5 million yuan in 20 12 years.
Today, the company has 3 artists, more than 50 professional technicians and more than 200 female craftsmen in Li Jian. Its two paper-cut brands, Fu Zhaoe Paper-cut and Hometown Paper-cut, are well-known at home and abroad.
Small scissors, great wealth. As long as you have a dream in your heart, stick to it, be brave in trying, innovating and not afraid of failure, you will be the next "Li Jian"!
