How to earn 500 thousand from scratch?

To tell the truth, I haven't made a million dollars from my business. But my entrepreneurial experience in recent years has made me more and more confident to achieve this goal. If you have the patience to read what I have written, I believe you will agree with me.

First of all, I started my business after graduating from college in 2006, and I have always been an entity, an ultra-small-scale entity. Because I don't believe in virtual things.

What kind of crash, tricks and cheats will be given by adding friends on the Internet? Please think about it. If you have a good way to make money, do you choose to make a fortune by yourself or tell N people?

In today's society, it is too difficult to eat a fat man without doing things in a down-to-earth manner! Everyone is not stupid!

Many people say that it is not easy to do physical things now, but I think there is one entity that will have a market at any time, that is, catering, because everyone has to eat, and this process cannot be completed virtually.

Everyone must eat with their mouths.

After graduating from college in 2006, I got a job in CNOOC. Some people may not be familiar with this company, but it is actually a coolie who produces oil and gas at sea. This is what I look like at work.

The nature of CNOOC's work has a great feature, that is, 28 days in the morning, 28 days off and back and forth. So I have enough time to do what I want to do, so countless colleagues around me have all kinds of entrepreneurial ideas and actively practice them. I have also become a member of this entrepreneurial army.

Focus on the detours I have taken, please take a warning.

From the moment I wanted to open a shop, I thought of eating. The reason was just mentioned, but the direction was wrong from the beginning.

I choose to open a fast food restaurant. At that time, I didn't know anything, so I directly contracted a stall in a food city with 70 thousand yuan.

The chef is hired from the talent market and is older than me 10. I bought a cookbook in the bookstore and asked the chef to choose some, even the menu in the store.

Now that I think about it, it was terrible at that time ... I didn't make any money every month, which was quite different from what I thought.

Say a few bad things in this process:

One day, I saw the chef pour the freshly opened salad oil directly into the sewer and asked him what was going on. He said the oil was cut off. I want to continue, he said. Do you think I'm teasing you? Then I asked for leave directly in the afternoon, saying that I had a fever and needed an intravenous drip. There is only one chef in the shop, so I have to close the shop. This made me run away.

Second, when buying a cooker, I went to the kitchen street to find a cheap cooker and thought I was lucky. As a result, I went back to fill the gas and there was no fire at all. I asked the stove repairman to come over. People say that when you were a child, you dared to open a shop without knowing that there was a fan in the stove?

Helpless, and spend money to install the fan, but spend more money than others. ...

In the end, the store was unsustainable and had to close down.

Later, I went to visit a graduate student friend, whose school canteen was inviting investment. I happen to have a relative at home who is a chef and wants to do it with me. I think: the employees are okay, the customers are okay, and I have a little experience. Is this ok?

As a result ... I met a greedy logistics management director!

Come to my window every three days. Today I said I broke the curtains in the canteen, and tomorrow I said there were fewer tables and chairs. Give him a shopping card and let him be quiet for several months. ...

The last straw that crushed this store was swine flu! Suddenly one day, the logistics director came and said that the swine flu broke out and students in our school were not allowed to leave the dormitory! The turnover suddenly changed from a few thousand to dozens ... and the store collapsed again. ...

I opened other stores in the back. I won't go into details. Every time I close the store, I feel extremely depressed, because the money I use to open the store is my hard-earned money! Meat hurts!

In short, I think if someone can teach me and tell me about my experience, how many detours I will take and how much tuition I have to pay!

However, due to too many holidays, the entrepreneurial heart has not died, and I want to find a project that someone can carefully guide on the road. So I got on the thief boat again, and I believe this is the last time I was cheated.

At the beginning of the year before last, my wife and I ate mala Tang in Shenzhen and went to a large chain mala Tang restaurant, which claimed to have 4,000 branches in China. I thought it was good at the time. I also called the person in charge of investment promotion to find out, and I think the prospect is good. You don't have to take care of the whole decoration process. Ready-made equipment, uniform distribution of raw materials ... and so on

At that time, my wife didn't have a job, so she was anxious to open a shop and decided to join. Although I haven't done it, I think it's joining, and someone is guiding me. This time, the risk should be controllable.

So I opened this store:

In fact, I really made money in the first year, with a monthly net income of more than 20 thousand. According to the trend, I can recover the full cost in a year or so. I thought the annual joining fee of 20 thousand yuan was painful, but it was also worth it!

The key is not to worry, the ingredients and raw materials are uniformly distributed by the company.

Just as I was enjoying myself, when I was about to recover the cost in a few months, I suddenly faced a blow: in order to make a good brand, the company had to strictly check all its franchise stores.

I thought to myself, the hygiene in our shop is the most diligent, and there is nothing illegal. But this is not the case. The person who came to the company for a surprise inspection randomly selected four questions, each of which was fined 5 thousand! A * * * twenty thousand! You can't order raw materials unless you pay the fine on time! See if you pay it!

If the problem is really a problem, I won't say anything. They are asking questions about long nails and long hair! I can't see any white nails when I cut them! Not more than a millimeter!

I secretly asked other shopkeepers in the city, but I didn't check those who just joined, and I didn't start checking until about a year after joining! I realized that this is how they make money! Seeing that I made money, I couldn't do without the support of the company, so I began to play tricks!

I am speechless! Why don't we make money quietly together? You earn the initial fee and material fee, and I earn the turnover, okay? You must do these dirty things!

Some shopkeepers dare to be angry and dare not speak, because it costs a lot of money to decorate the equipment, not to mention making money without losing money, and there is no way to hijack it.

Later, I learned from many inquiries that each region has a regional director, and how much money was fined in this region was mastered by the regional director himself. The implication is that the fines are in these people's own pockets! (Guangdong, a well-known mala Tang chain in China, parents with some resources can find out whether there is such a fine in private. )

I can't stand this temper! Resolutely choose to cancel the contract!

So I found a substitute at the fastest speed, and now business is getting better and better without the support of the original company! Now the monthly net profit can basically be around 30,000.

Sometimes I wonder, if I knew the doorway here from the beginning, how many detours would I take less? Now I am not restricted by anyone. It's only a matter of time before I make a million dollars! Because of what? I think there are several reasons:

1, Mala Tang is a traditional food, which is nothing new to bloggers. Once shaved ice, once barbecued on paper, once porridge ground, how many are there now? Starting a business for the first time, imitating others' cooking, Taiwan Province braised pork rice. Who can see this thing now? On the contrary, those traditional and simple things are more easily accepted by the public, will be eaten at any time, and will never be eliminated and abandoned.

2. Equipment and decoration don't need to be updated every three days. It is a low-end market itself, with one investment and almost no additional funds for fixed assets.

3, the staff is effortless! Mala Tang has no advanced technology, does not rely on chefs like traditional catering, and will not raise an ancestor in the kitchen to oppose you at any time! If a chef feels indispensable in the shop, what is the result? Is it self-evident? Mala Tang is different. The job of the kitchen is to cook vegetables and soup. The boss doesn't want to do it himself. He just recruits someone, whether it's a 18-year-old boy or a 60-year-old aunt, who can go to work as long as he can move and have a simple training! You don't like it anymore? All right, you go ahead. I'll just pull someone over at the train station to teach for two hours. I am a skilled worker!

So, after doing so many kinds of catering, Mala Tang restaurant is the best in the end, because things are not complicated, so I installed a camera in the store, basically without going to the store, just remote control! Now that the technology is so developed, it's okay not to go to the store for a few days to check the accounts and watch the monitoring with your mobile phone!

If you want to open a shop while working to earn money, you can really consider opening a mala Tang, because this thing is not complicated. After the first few months, they have a plan, and the road behind them is smooth!

It's been more than two years now, and the goal of earning10 million is close at hand. Because my wife is pregnant, the plan to open a branch is put on hold temporarily, otherwise the goal will be achieved faster.

I am a person who likes to toss and turn. I have also been to many places to cook and pay various tuition fees. Seeing those projects that are obviously unreliable, but some people spend thousands of dollars to learn, it is really speechless! The key is to spend energy and money! So I often think of my state at that time. If someone can teach me, tell me about the experience of opening a shop.

I often watch Zhihu, pay attention to the topic of "entrepreneurship" and watch experts from all walks of life share their experiences. I felt very enjoyable and made a decision. If anyone wants to learn to open a mala Tang restaurant, you can contact me!

Come to my shop to study and practice for free! I don't want any tuition! In addition, decoration problems, equipment problems, personnel management problems, any problems, as long as I have time, I know, without reservation! You just need to take care of yourself.

First of all, I won't make the raw materials of soup base, because all my raw materials are bought finished products, so I don't need to fry them myself! People who know a little about this should know that the ingredients of mala Tang should be cooked regularly, and I have saved this job now! I calculated that the price of buying finished products directly is the same as that of frying them myself! Save energy and time, why not? I can't learn how to fry the bottom of a spicy pot here, because I can't do it myself.
