Influenced by her business parents, Hua Rong opened an online store for funny birthday gifts with her friends when she was in her second year of high school, and gradually gained experience when she entered college this year. Opened a women's clothing store. In just two months, their women's pants have become a hot trend, with daily sales of around 200 orders, and sales in the past 30 days have reached 220,000 yuan.

Although she makes a lot of money, she rarely has time to spend money. Hua Rong said that she was originally a "foodie". She bought more than 2,000 yuan of snacks online during Double 11 last year, but this year she has very little time except running her own online store. Online shopping is sometimes too busy to order takeout.

In a community three or four kilometers away from the school, Huarong rented a warehouse. Except for classes, she spent most of her time here taking orders and packaging. When she is really busy, she even hires a roommate to do part-time work. When she is busy, she doesn’t care about her image at all. Applying a facial mask every now and then is the biggest relief. She said that she hasn’t bought any clothes since she was in college. , I still wear the same clothes I bought in high school. “It doesn’t matter if it’s a little sloppy, it’s important to have your own goals. ”

Zhao Chenyang said, “I have never slept before 12 o’clock in the evening in three years of college. "We receive orders and deliver goods during the day, and at night we have to analyze various backend data and constantly adjust the direction of operations." In the first half of this year, he relied on his keen sense of business opportunities for a fan as a prop in a costume film and television drama to achieve the goal in a single month. Sales of more than 500,000.

Although he devotes himself to the online store business every day, he rarely does online shopping. His parents buy clothes and daily necessities at the beginning of each semester in his hometown and bring them to school for him.

Having not gone out to play, watched a movie, or fallen in love in three years, he felt that he should start a career first and then consider relationships.

Zhao Chenyang is very enthusiastic, but he avoids interviews. During interviews, one can always feel the 21-year-old boy's introspection and sense of urgency.

On the evening of November 9, he sent a message to reporters: "I think the business I am doing now is not interesting at all. It is just a low-end thing. I really want to do something with technical content." I want to switch from selling products to designing products, but I don’t have the ability.” He said, “I need to calm down for a while to think about my future and make a plan for myself.”

November. On the 8th, Lin Hongyuan finished picking up the goods from the wholesaler and was about to leave.

Lin Hongyuan still clearly remembers the results of opening an online store in the first month of his freshman year: it was just a scarf with free shipping for 9.9 yuan. It was not in stock at that time, and he found someone to deliver it on his behalf. But it got better and better after that. At the end of my freshman year, I made 30,000 to 40,000 yuan worth of goods. In my sophomore year, my sales reached more than 100,000 yuan. In my junior year, I made a hit product and my sales reached more than 300 yuan. Ten thousand yuan. At that time, the popularity of the product made me panic. I was afraid that it would not be shipped. I kept raising the price, but the orders continued. Later, I had to be forced to remove it from the shelves.

As my pocket became more and more bulging, I soon fell into another kind of despair. "At that time, I made money during the day and went out to play at night. There were almost no KTVs in Yiwu that we hadn't been to, and we didn't save much money later."

Lin Hongyuan said that doing big business is not his specialty. Most of the time it is "good luck". His dream is to earn a certain amount of money and return to his hometown to open a small restaurant and live a small life with his family. day. He never thought about living apart from his parents. When his two sisters got married, he thought he should stay with his parents to take care of them.

When he was in college, Yin Hong’s family was still living on a minimum living allowance and received a scholarship. Both his grandfather and mother were in poor health. The family life and emotional trauma caused by "no money" made Yin Hong understand the importance of money from an early age, which influenced his decision to enter the entrepreneurship class.

When he was a freshman, Yin Hong participated in a micro-business business, selling facial masks and soaps, which were hugely profitable products. He said that he really felt like "making money while lying down" every day, and he had the most money on his card. At that time, it had a deposit of 15.6 million. But for him, who was only 18 years old at the time, it was difficult for him to handle the sudden increase in personal wealth. "I couldn't stay at school anymore at night, and I often took my classmates around to play. Once, five or six classmates went to Hangzhou together and ate more than 10,000 yuan in one meal." "The money was gone quickly. By this year On the eve of graduation, I only have five or six thousand in savings." Speaking of all this, Yin Hong's expression showed a hint of regret.

In August this year, with the help of teachers and friends, Yin Hong joined a brand express company, contracted the business in the school area, and flexibly shuttled between receiving and delivering packages.

On November 8, in the studio of Entrepreneurship College, Zhu Wanqi was showing off a scarf product in front of the camera.

Zhu Wanqi

Born in 1998 in Huainan, Anhui Province, she is a sophomore majoring in modeling and performance at Yiwu Industrial and Commercial Vocational and Technical College. She is a graphic model and participates in graphic photography of e-commerce products.

Zhu Wanqi originally applied for the Spanish major at the school. When she entered the school for military training, a teacher spotted her in the queue and invited her to join the modeling class, and her modeling career began.

Until now, she only has three classmates, and she has to share classes with junior seniors to take professional courses.

Zhu Wanqi is not a model with good conditions in all aspects, but her personality is extremely optimistic. She is 170 centimeters tall and weighs 115 pounds, which is beyond the "tolerance range" of a professional model. Because of this, teachers often criticize her. She said she just couldn't keep her mouth shut and wanted to eat whenever she had free time. She weighed 137 pounds at her peak and was almost on the verge of being eliminated from the modeling class.

But she said that she has a very elastic weight. She can lose five kilograms in one day if she doesn’t eat, or she can gain five kilograms in one day if she doesn’t control her diet. She would often write down changes in her weight in a notebook, then quickly tear it up and forget about it.

Zhu Wanqi has recently considered controlling her weight through exercise. Taekwondo, which she has been doing intermittently since the sixth grade of elementary school, is her first choice. She said that if she really wanted to pursue her career as a model, she had to control her body and there was no other way.
