Real estate prices in Hong Kong plummeted and real estate companies closed down one after another. 1967, the anti-British incident occurred in Hong Kong, which further plunged the real estate market into a dead silence.

However, Li Ka-shing is optimistic about the future of Hong Kong's industry and commerce, believing that Hong Kong, a colony full of business opportunities, will not be chaotic for long. He did the opposite, buying a lot of land and old buildings when people sold their properties at low prices. Within three years, the turmoil subsided, Hong Kong society returned to normal, and the economy recovered.

Sun Junfeng: Master of Peking University improper civil servant Shanghai entrepreneurship dry decoration

Sun Junfeng graduated from Peking University with a monthly salary of one million. He bought a house in Shanghai that has been renovated for less than two years.

Skillfully scraping walls, approving putty and polishing, except for wearing a pair of thick glasses, Sun Junfeng in overalls looks no different from ordinary decoration workers. But not many people know that he actually graduated from Peking University with a master's degree in sociology. After graduation, Sun Junfeng went to work as a decoration worker, which caused an uproar. * * * June 16 Guangming. com * * *

Master of Peking University as a decorator? Anyone will be surprised to hear this. In the impression of ordinary people, the "favored son" who graduated from Peking University has either embarked on a career, entered the academic field or entered a large international company. How can he engage in such hard physical labor and get something for nothing? This is actually a misunderstanding of studying and going to college.

Sun Junfeng has been obedient since he was a child. When he was admitted to the university in 2006, his family showed the admission notice to many people in the village. It was news in his hometown at that time. In his own words, it is "giving a long face to his family." A few years later, Sun Junfeng was assigned when he graduated with a master's degree, and was given the opportunity to transfer from different civil servants in several provinces and cities. This time, his family wanted him to be a civil servant. I think this is worthy of Peking University education.

"I have listened to my family since I was a child, but this time I am a little rebellious. I want to enter the society because my personality doesn't adapt to the system, but I don't know what I can do. Decoration is based on two aspects. One is that someone around me is willing to take me, and the other is that I feel free to be a craftsman. At that time, I was a little idealistic and wanted to open an honest decoration company in the future! " Nevertheless, Sun Junfeng, who only has ideas, should start from Gong Li. Of course, the family disagreed. At the end of the argument, Sun's father was very angry, leaving only one sentence: You make your own decisions, I don't care about you!

It's hard to work at first, and there are jokes. The foreman said in public that Sun Junfeng was too clean to work, so he secretly stepped on his work clothes before going to work every day. After half a year, knowing more, Sun Junfeng began to think of ways to contract projects together, and later became a foreman himself.

"In a few years, I took my own people to do it." Home improvement is ok, but the wind can't blow the rain. Outdoor decoration is not good. I have to work on the construction site in winter, and my hands are frozen and cracked. Facing the camera, Sun Junfeng showed reporters the scars and calluses on his hands. Now, he takes the workers to skillfully mix cement, punch holes and batch putty, just like an expert. Only through thick glasses can we see his feelings as a student.

"The house is a great event in life. It is not easy for people to buy a house now. When decorating, we must ensure the quality and quantity, and decorate every home into our new home. Not sloppy at all. " Every time he receives a new order, Sun Junfeng will tell the workers like this.

Now Sun Junfeng's team cooperates with others to decorate, and can win more than 20 construction sites every month, with a turnover of more than one million, but occasionally they still have to face others' incomprehension. "The master of Peking University came out to do decoration work, and he was not interested. All the money at home is wasted. " In this regard, Sun Junfeng just smiled, and his expression was mixed with remorse and banter. Those who want to question him are either speechless for a while or left contentedly. The only thing that makes him happy is that his family has gradually recognized his choice.

"If it weren't for the renovation, I couldn't even afford a house." Sun Junfeng told reporters privately that he would use the hard money earned from decoration to help his family improve their living environment and buy things. For him, decoration workers are just the beginning of starting a business. "Don't care what other people think!" Facing the camera, the former gifted scholar of Peking University occasionally reveals a little spirit of that year.

Celebrity Successful Entrepreneurship Story 3

Yan Lei: The post-90s youth started their business with Fuzhou Oil Paper Umbrella.

On the second day of the 11th China * * * Shenzhen * * International Cultural Industry Expo, an antique Fuzhou oil-paper umbrella made by a handsome young man attracted many people's attention in Fujian booth. The young man was born in 1986, majoring in electronic engineering, but he is doing such a "classic" thing.

Simple dreams require constant efforts.

The young man's name is Yan Lei. By chance, he came into contact with Fuzhou Oil Paper Umbrella. "When homestay was just popular, a friend asked me to buy an oil-paper umbrella in Fuzhou to decorate their homestay. They say that Fuzhou oil-paper umbrella is famous on the Internet and of good quality, but I can't buy it in the market. I finally got to know the master who made oil-paper umbrellas from my parents. " Yan Lei said that a friend suggested customizing an umbrella and put forward the corresponding idea. Therefore, Yan Lei became a member of the umbrella maker. The master said that you asked so much, and you learned it yourself.

From then on, Yan Lei really began to learn to make umbrellas. He said: "Young people often go to the master to learn, but in the end I am the only one left."

Yan Lei started his career after studying for three years. Compared with manufacturing umbrellas, Yan Lei's biggest headache is sales.

On 20/0/0, Kloc opened an oil-paper umbrella studio called "Fang Xiang Scholar" and set up a stall in Nanhou Street. The production method is following the old technology of 100 years. Cotton thread should be wound and tung oil should be brushed over and over again. A batch of 200 oil-paper umbrellas will take more than 20 days, and it will take longer if the weather is bad. "This is urgent, you have to take your time."

Send a circle of friends to promote oil-paper umbrellas

Yan Lei said that a generation of Fuzhou people after 1990 have all heard of the "Three Treasures of Fuzhou". Horn combs and bodiless lacquerware can't be wrong, but the third one is usually brought by Wang when he entered Fujian. It has a history of thousands of years. "I want the oil-paper umbrella forgotten by Fuzhou people to return to people's daily lives, not just as a gift. Imagine that in March and April every year, during the rainy season,

As a matter of fact, my parents disapprove of Yan Lei's oil-paper umbrella. They would ask Yan Lei, "Are you sure you made money? Are you sure everyone needs it? " Yan Lei said, "My partners have all quit now, and they have been losing money for the first year. They can't stand the pressure from their families. Only I persisted, and the next days began to make money slowly. Compared with the students who work on the assembly line of the electronics factory, I think what I do is much more interesting and meaningful. "

If you see an oil-paper umbrella booth near the row of bronze statues in Nanhou Street, it belongs to Yan Lei, and visitors can take photos with the oil-paper umbrella for free. Yan Lei said, "I didn't do any advertising. They will send the most beautiful smile and Fuzhou's most distinctive oiled paper umbrella to their circle of friends. This is the best promotion. "
