201/kloc-0 was awarded the title of "20 10" by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and the National Federation of Students in May. In July, he was awarded the title of "Hubei Youth Entrepreneurship Model" by Hubei Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League. In August, he was awarded the title of "Hubei Youth Entrepreneurship Model" by the 26th Universiade Executive Committee and China Youth Newspaper.
His name is included in Baidu Encyclopedia, and media reporters can always smell his trace. In the past two years, he has represented Hubei University students and schools in Beijing, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Macao, Wuhan, Hunan, Shaanxi and other places to exchange and study with national college students. Personal stories have been reported by Guangming. com. Com, People.com Daily, Hubei Daily and other media at all levels in China for dozens of times.
He is Dai, a student majoring in urban planning at Yangtze University. Learning architecture, knowing the media and loving practice are the secrets of his success.
15 years old, trying to start a business: struggling, with a high school graduation deposit of over 10,000 yuan.
In June 2005, the senior high school entrance examination ended. Want to temper their own wear, carrying their parents alone to Huangzhou to take the initiative to do enrollment publicity for several higher vocational secondary schools. From unfamiliar business to memorizing propaganda points, I never dare to speak and answer freely in front of candidates and parents. One summer vacation, the income exceeds 5 thousand yuan. That year was the first time he earned money, and it was also the first time he really realized the hard work of his parents. In the Spring Festival of the same year, when children of the same age were clamoring for their parents to buy clothes for themselves, he bought new clothes for his parents with the money he earned. "Mom and Dad, when I grow up, I can be your support."
Since then, the belief of entrepreneurs has become popular. When he was in high school, he learned that the college entrance examination review materials in bookstores around the school were often out of stock, so he went to Wuhan Bookstore for wholesale with his friends and took them to the graduating class of the school for promotion, which was usually in short supply. Every year, he also acts as an agent for a local insurance company. Besides, I also sell repeaters, set up stalls and distribute leaflets. When I graduated from high school in 2009, I had a deposit of 35,000 yuan.
Rich entrepreneurial experience: creating a team and opening a DIY cafeteria.
In September, 2009, Dai was admitted to Yangtze University and entered his dream university campus. From then on, his dream began to fly more freely.
From June 5438 to October 2009 10, Dai, who had just settled in the university, and several friends founded the "Million College Students Entrepreneurship Alliance", with more than 100 members at one time. Shortly after the establishment of the Entrepreneurship Alliance, the "Entrepreneurship Forum" was held many times, which was so popular in the local area that entrepreneurs from foreign universities took the initiative to contact Dai, hoping that he would authorize the establishment of sub-teams, and many small enterprises also took the initiative to contact the teams to carry out business exchanges. However, "the cost of the activity needs to be paid with your own money." Making ends meet made him realize that "entrepreneurship without entity is just an empty slogan." He said that he needed some money and he wanted to do business.
After the Spring Festival, Dai quit the business alliance, took out his savings, and partnered with several senior students to open a DIY restaurant called "Student House". College students can come to this "home" and buy food and cook by themselves. In addition, there are TV, computer, chess and cards and other facilities for everyone to entertain and collect venue fees. Because contemporary college students seldom cook at home, university parties are usually spent in restaurants and KTV, and the idea of "student home" has sparked heated discussion in university town for a time. Some local media have also seen this activity, saying that its concept is very low-carbon, which not only saves the expenses of the party, but also enables college students to grow through their own labor.
However, what outsiders don't know is that although the store is open, the rent, water and electricity have to be spent, and for a long time, the money has been spent and there is no response. A few months later, the partner left and graduated, leaving only one Dai. Even once, social gangsters came to the store to grind fat. All the disappointments are tormenting him whether it is necessary to persist. Lost, he went to visit some entrepreneurs. Finally, he chose to insist. He told himself: "Entrepreneurship must stand the wind and rain. If you give up now, your previous efforts will be in vain. Persistence may be a touchstone. " So, he renovated the shop and increased publicity. Many things can only be carried by one person. "Now, the store is on the right track, with a monthly net income of more than 2,000 yuan."
In the process of chatting with customers, I learned that the underground shopping mall of Beijing Middle Road in Jingzhou City has just been built and is already renting. After finding the investment feasibility analysis report of the commercial street through friends, he summed it up with several friends and made a new plan: to open a barbecue shop in the food city.
After signing the contract, the facade encountered many problems. Parents object, many people don't understand; Looking for brands to join everywhere, looking for contact information, looking for ways; Busy with health permits and health checks; Find someone to decorate and find a master. Nothing is as simple as I thought before signing the contract. The most uncomfortable thing for him is that he searched for a house for four days, made thirty or forty phone calls, and finally found a house behind the Hong Men Road Station in three stops, and began to move forty or fifty kilograms of goods to the store every day. "In front of fitness!" , so busy, 20 10 will be over.
"I realized the wish I set for myself in high school and made money to support myself." Scholarships and store profits have covered all the expenses of his university. "I can add a little to my passbook every month."
The eyes of business opportunities: publishing newspapers and selling casserole in the street.
During the winter vacation of 20 10, Dai found that there was a business opportunity to make supper in community internet cafes, so he agreed with his parents that the money earned by selling casserole pots in internet cafes would belong to him. On his first day in office, he wore a cooking apron and walked into an Internet cafe near Dijiao Community in Hankou. He walked from the first floor to the second floor and from the second floor to the first floor, but he couldn't speak. Seeing that dinner time was about to pass, in desperation, he learned the tone of those aunts and officially sold it. That day, I sold 10 casserole. When Hawking was in an Internet cafe, a girl his age called him "Master", which made him feel very uncomfortable. However, in order to realize his desire to buy new clothes for his parents and start a business again, he persisted, getting up at 9 o'clock every morning and closing the stall at 3 o'clock the next morning. On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Dai bought a pair of trousers from 78 yuan for his father and a pair of trousers from 66 yuan for his mother, thus realizing his wish to buy new clothes for his parents. Changjiang Daily reported Dai's social practice of honoring his parents. A survey in big chu network shows that among more than 265,438 netizens, 9 1% were moved by Dai's behavior.
On July 20 1 1, Dai thought that the businesses around the school were very optimistic about the entrepreneurial economy, so he wanted to plan and release the freshman weekend when the freshmen started school to provide advertising services for the businesses. In the days of advertising, Dai gets up at seven o'clock every morning and goes door to door to find businesses to advertise. In the scorching sun at noon, I often get sleepy if I can't sleep well or eat well, and sometimes I fall asleep unconsciously when I sit on the sofa of the merchant. "In the end, I only earned 1600 yuan," Dai said. "However, I think his value is far more than 16000 yuan. Editing and publishing is the knowledge I learned in two years in college, and today this knowledge has turned into cash. "

Firm entrepreneurial dream: I am young and I have been on the road.
Dai appreciates the entrepreneurial experience of Ma Yun, Yu and others. His previous experience and his understanding of society have strengthened his entrepreneurial belief. "I have already considered registering a company when I was a senior." Now, he has changed his mind. "I have no money and no experience, but I still have to accumulate and learn."
