Selected 1st Story of College Student Entrepreneurship:
A Dongguan college student’s turtle breeding business made a net profit of over 10 million in two years
In 2009, Dongguan’s turtle breeding industry became popular . As early as 2008, Mo Shuwei, who was still a freshman at the time, smelled the business opportunities in the turtle breeding industry. After graduating from South China Normal University in 2012, he did not choose the life of a nine-to-five office worker, but embarked on the entrepreneurial path of raising turtles. Yesterday, the author learned that Mo Shuwei's turtle farm has more than 5,000 "Shi Qian Qian", which is estimated to be about 20 million yuan. The scale of the turtle farm is constantly expanding.
In his freshman year, he spent all his savings to buy and raise 6 turtles.
The place where Mo Shuwei raises stone turtles is a home-style imitation of the wild model. In a rental house, three floors are used to build turtle ponds, hatcheries, and iron-frame turtle tanks. On the roof of the rental house, 18 turtle ponds are divided into feeding areas, egg-laying areas, and pool areas. Each pool is planted with plants to provide shade from the sun. The overall structure was built by Mo Shuwei alone for 8 months.
Mo Shuwei changes the water in the turtle pond every day, feeds the turtles every other evening, checks the egg-laying area, and keeps an eye on the health of the newly hatched turtles. Talking about the start of turtle breeding business, the time can be traced back to 2008. At that time, Mo Shuwei was in his freshman year and accidentally viewed a video about raising turtles. So he searched for turtle raising resources online and saw a trading platform for buying and selling, which made Mo Shuwei very excited.
After Mo Shuwei carefully observed the platform for a few months, he found that the transaction price of turtle hatchlings had increased from 80 yuan to 160 yuan. Is it really that profitable? At that time, he felt a little worried. I can't stand it any longer, said Mo Shuwei. So during the summer vacation of his freshman year, he took a six-and-a-half-hour drive alone to Shalang Town, Maoming, a turtle breeding place, to find out the reality of the booming turtle breeding industry.
I spent 3 days investigating the turtle market. I traveled back and forth between suppliers, hotels and large turtle farms. I also visited large turtle farms and found that the information on the Internet was true. Mo Shuwei was moved, so he took out the 16,000 yuan he had brought with him, which was all the savings he earned from his part-time job, and bought 6 stone turtles that were 6 years old.
My family’s opposition to the turtle breeding business turned into support
I spent all my savings to buy 6 turtles, which met with opposition from my family. But Mo Shuwei still built a temporary turtle pond in the front yard. One year later, the six turtles laid 18 eggs, but because they did not master hatching techniques, they failed to hatch any hatchlings.
During his sophomore and junior years in college, Mo Shuwei still browsed a large number of turtle raising posts every day and learned about turtle raising. At that time, the market price of turtle hatchlings increased again. ?Someone once contacted me and wanted to use 30,000 yuan to buy my 6 turtles. I became more determined in my belief that raising turtles could be a solution. ?Mo Shuwei said.
After graduating from college, his family agreed that Mo Shuwei should find a legitimate career. Many neighbors thought that Mo Shuwei was bored and ignorant when he stayed at home and played with turtles. At that time, Mo Shuwei made up his mind to start his own business no matter how opposed his family was.
? To start a business, you must first have funds, and secondly, you must have a location. ?Mo Shuwei said that solving these two factors is the beginning and key to starting a business. When Mo Shuwei was anxious, his uncle persuaded Mo Shuwei's parents and finally agreed to give him 100,000 yuan as a start for his business. Mo Shuwei decided to choose his grandma's house as a turtle breeding venue, so Mo Shuwei started doing plaster work to build a turtle pond. He carried several hundred kilograms of sand and mud by himself and walked up to the third floor. He was busy from 7 a.m. to evening At 10 o'clock, after three months of work and a cost of 10,000 yuan, the temporary turtle pond was finally built. He spent the remaining 90,000 yuan to buy all the stone turtles.
I often worked part-time to learn skills for senior turtle farmers
? At that time, I bought 430 turtles in one day. Due to immature technology, the survival rate was not high, and more than 50 stone turtles were lost. So I kept looking for seniors to learn about their experience, and went to the masters' homes to work part-time for free and learn. ?Mo Shuwei said that he joined the Dongguan Turtle Research Association, where he learned breeding techniques and how to introduce varieties. Through Mo Shuwei's learning model of "going out and inviting in", the turtle breeding business quickly improved. Now, the annual output of the turtle farm reaches 1,000 to 2,000 turtle hatchlings.
Mo Shuwei said: "My family has confidence in me, and I will officially change from family-style wild farming to pond farming." We rented 30 acres of land and built 3 fish ponds for breeding. ?
Looking back on his entrepreneurial path, Mo Shuwei said that he has only succeeded in three steps and there is still a long way to go. He hopes that college students can set their entrepreneurial goals in advance and be firm and persistent once they make a choice. The first thing college students should do is to think less and do more. Only in this way can they lay the foundation for successful entrepreneurship.
Selection 2 of college student entrepreneurship stories:
A college student borrowed money to start a business during the summer and earned 50,000 yuan in two months
Summer vacation is approaching, and the Nantong University Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education Base is still very busy. Busy, the students staying at the school are nervously preparing for the upcoming robot competition. Zhang Qing, a sophomore girl, comes to the laboratory almost every night, constantly replenishing knowledge, self-study related content, and preparing for the Robotics Open.
In recent years, Nantong University has attached great importance to the cultivation of students' innovative consciousness and entrepreneurial ability, and actively explored an entrepreneurship education model that is "curriculum-led, practical cultivation, research support, and multi-party support". In the 10 years since its establishment, the school has trained nearly 70,000 graduates, and a large number of outstanding entrepreneurial figures have emerged who have entrepreneurial dreams and devote themselves to entrepreneurial practice, using knowledge and passion to set sail for life.
She founded a human resources company
As college students transition from the first classroom in school to the second classroom in society, many students are hesitant: what kind of job to find? Where to intern, how to do a good job interview, etc. Yang Qiulan, a 2009 graduate of Nantong University, has found a way to integrate theory with practice from her graduation experience. She provides systematic training and guidance for college students in after-school practical exercises, pre-employment training, and quality development.
Yang Qiulan, 29, has graduated five years ago and is now the general manager of a human resources company with an investment of 2 million yuan. ?Since my freshman year, while learning the course knowledge well, I have also focused on exercising my social practice ability. I have done all of this as a tutor, handing out leaflets, and planning. ?Yang Qiulan found that many students wanted to exercise their abilities, but suffered from lack of suitable opportunities and social experience. Therefore, Yang Qiulan, who had just graduated, began to plan to take on some projects to provide part-time, internship and trainee opportunities for college students, and integrated training projects such as interview skills, career planning, and business etiquette into her own services, so as to greatly improve the work ability of college students. improve.
All of this is inseparable from the special training for entrepreneurship teachers organized by the school. Yang Qiulan said that in September 2008, she was fortunate enough to participate in the first SYB (Start Your Business) mentoring event organized by the Nantong Women's Federation to pair female entrepreneurs with female college students. Using this platform, Yang Qiulan made the first acquaintance since starting her business. An off-campus tutor, Wang Bingyu, general manager of Nantong Golden Bangkok Health Development Co., Ltd., visited and learned the business model, corporate culture, management system, personnel and financial system, daily management, etc. of a mature company.
With experience and confidence, Yang Qiulan invested 500,000 yuan to establish a human resources company half a year later. As the company matured, additional capital was added in April this year; venture capital was introduced in June, and Germany Liu Hongtao, President of GEA Harpal Asia Pacific Region and General Manager of Beijing Aifu Hengxin Company, invested 1.2 million yuan. The company was officially renamed Youzi Online Human Resources Co., Ltd. to create an "O2O model" (i.e., online and offline e-commerce) in the part-time training industry. ). Yang Qiulan said that after the new business model matures in Jiangsu, the company will begin to expand its business nationwide in 2016.
He entered the fruit retail industry
At Nantong University, there are many courageous and courageous girls like Yang Qiulan, and of course there are also many young men with business and management minds. Shen Jianxiang, who graduated from Tongda Business School majoring in business administration last year, is one of them. His entrepreneurial direction is the fruit retail industry.
To do it, you must first accumulate experience. To this end, Shen Jianxiang used his summer time to go to Jiaxing Fruit Market, Zhejiang, the largest fruit distribution center in the Yangtze River Delta region, and took advantage of internship opportunities to learn experience. In the second half of 2012, Shen Jianxiang and two friends started a fruit group buying business. Last year, with the support of the school's employment and entrepreneurship center, they officially developed into store retail. They rented a shop near the school canteen and opened a fruit shop. Later, one restaurant was opened in Zhangzhishan and Wushan Homeland areas. According to reports, the turnover of the three stores last year reached more than 1 million yuan, and the income and expenditure were basically the same; judging from the current situation this year, the daily turnover is expected to remain around 10,000 yuan.
Recently, the reporter visited one of the stores run by Shen Jianxiang Youguocui's team. There are more than 40 kinds of fruits on sale, and the price is about 15% cheaper than retail fruit stores. In the past two years of exploration, the business of the Youguocui team has been getting better and better. Regarding future development plans, Shen Jianxiang has a very clear idea. He classified it into two points: First, fruit sales need to be integrated into chains. Nowadays, most fruit shops in Nantong are family-owned. Only through integration can we achieve low costs, low losses, and better serve consumers; secondly, e-commerce is imperative. Shen Jianxiang hopes that his fruit business can be similar to the "Metro + JD.com" model, which will not only increase the store's turnover, but also contribute to healthy communication between sellers and consumers.
His training career is booming
Nantong University has always attached great importance to the cultivation of students' innovative consciousness and entrepreneurial ability, and is actively exploring? Curriculum leadership, practical cultivation, research support, and multi-party support Under the entrepreneurship education model, another young man born in 1985 also did an outstanding job. His name is Huang Gang, a 2011 graduate of the Department of Applied Chemistry, Tongda Institute of Chemical Engineering, and now the person in charge of an education and training company in Tongcheng.
Huang Gang said: While serving as the president of the university’s College Student Employment and Entrepreneurship Association, he was fortunate enough to meet many entrepreneurs and professional lecturers. How can I let Tonghua University students know in advance some of the social and employment information I received? According to this idea, I found the prototype of the initial entrepreneurial project: to be a college student? soft power? training. ?
The project was established, training teachers were established, and later two partners joined. After about a year of exploration, due to various pressures on cost, enrollment, and class renewal, the initial project was unsustainable. After the failure, Huang Gang's core team began to plan for transformation. After studying in Nanjing, Shanghai and other places, it finally came into being. The current "personalized one-on-one tutoring" model for all subjects in primary and secondary schools.
It is understood that Huang Gang’s education and training company has three campuses in Nantong, located in Tongzhou, Chongchuan and Gangzha. The Chongchuan campus now has nearly 600 square meters of well-decorated teaching area, with an annual turnover of more than 2 million yuan; the Tongzhou campus was established in June 2013 and is making headway; the Gangzha campus was established at the beginning of this year and is still developing. With 3 campuses, the total turnover is expected to exceed 4 million yuan this year.
