Chapter 1 The Pitfalls of Entrepreneurship

Next Chapter

Someone sent me a link the other day, saying that a new type of MLM has appeared on the Internet, so that everyone should not fall into the pit.

While everyone was in the mood for discussion, I silently turned away and lit a cigarette in the bathroom, and the memories that I had forgotten flooded back into my mind.

I once strayed into a pyramid scheme, and if you don't experience the horror of pyramid schemes, you will never understand what real despair is.

Now, I am writing out that memory just to tell you to be careful, avoid falling into the pit, and don't follow my old path.

That year, I had just graduated from college and found a good job, and I thought that I could work hard for two years to buy a house with a down payment, and then get married and have children with my girlfriend......

However, Yu Xiaoman, his girlfriend who has been in love for two years, is reluctant, saying that young people should be aggressive, and entrepreneurship is our way out.

I heard that it is easy to make money in Guangdong, my girlfriend inspected for two whole months, negotiated with a garment factory, did a wholesale business of clothing, used the website to do publicity, and then sold online, if it is done well, it will make more money in a month than we make in a year.

She also urged me not to wait for the right time, if I delayed any longer, others would eat meat, and we would not even be able to drink the soup.

Seeing that Xiaoman and a woman have such grand ambitions, if I, as a man, don't even have some courage, wouldn't it be laughed at.

So I quit my job and embarked on the road of entrepreneurship in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

After two days and one night of trains, it was dark after arriving in Guangdong, and I didn't see Xiaoman, but two men waiting for me at the station.

"Hello, are you Zhao Bo?"

I nodded, and looked at the two people in front of me through the bright lights of the train station, one of them was thin, with a pair of glasses, looking at me with scrutiny, he introduced himself as Zhang Wei, a driver in the factory.

Another man is tall and strong, standing in front of me gives people a very stressful feeling, especially the tendon meat on the arm, at a glance I know that he is a practitioner, he doesn't say much, Zhang Wei told me that this person is a security guard in the factory, called Zhao Dashan, who came to pick me up.

I asked Yu Xiaoman what to do, and Zhang Wei told me that because there was an order to rush, Xiaoman was afraid that something would go wrong, so he stared at it himself, and he would see her when I went back.

I didn't doubt it, and followed Zhang Wei and them into a black Santana......

I was a little tired because of the fatigue of the journey, and after getting in the car, my eyelids began to fight when the car swayed, and I fell asleep unconsciously......

It was completely dark, there was no moonlight, it was dark outside, and the roads were potholed and uneven, like the country roads of our hometown.

Through the lights of the car, I found that the surroundings were very desolate, and there were not even passing cars, and I suddenly wondered, could it be that there was something else I didn't know about?

"Stop, park now!"

I didn't think too much about it, so I shouted at Zhang Weiwei, and my hand was not idle, and I wanted to pull the handbrake of the car.

"What are you doing? Don't you know how dangerous it is?"

Zhang Wei stopped the car with a foot of the brake, turned around and scolded me loudly.

"Where are we going, my girlfriend?"

I didn't care about being angry with Zhang Wei, and the moment the car stopped, I hurriedly opened the door and wanted to leave here.

At this time, Zhao Dashan, who was sitting next to me, suddenly grabbed me.

"What are you doing? Sit down, don't go out!"

I was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhao Dashan in confusion, when I was at the station before, both of them were very polite, but at this moment, their attitude towards me was as if they had changed people.

"Both, I think you must have misunderstood, I don't have anything else in mind, I just want to call my girlfriend!"

I glanced at the two people in front of me, and quickly calculated in my heart what my chances would be if I faced these two people at the same time.

It's not that I underestimate myself, after repeated calculations, I have to admit that with the big guy named Zhao Dashan in front of me, I guess I can't do it alone.

Since you can't fight the enemy, you can only outwit it.

I want to make sure my girlfriend is okay first, and then I think about what to do next.

At Zhang Wei's signal, Zhao Dashan let go of me, and I went not far away to make a call, and Zhao Dashan and Zhang Wei followed behind me, this black light is blinding, I am not familiar with the terrain, and it is impossible to escape.

At first, Yu Xiaoman's phone couldn't get through, and after several calls in a row, Yu Xiaoman answered my phone.

"Xiaoman, what's the matter, why don't you answer the phone, what kind of place are you, why do I think something is wrong?"

After hearing Yu Xiaoman's voice, I relaxed a little, and then I heard Yu Xiaoman explain to me that in order to save money, the factory and warehouse were built in the suburbs, and the terrain was a little biased, but we did online sales, and it didn't have much to do with the terrain, etc., and the explanation was quite reasonable, so I didn't think much about it, and I believed it.

In the evening, Yu Xiaoman said that if I didn't believe it, she would come to pick me up in person, I thought that Xiaoman had been busy all day, and I couldn't bear to come here to pick me up in the middle of the night, so I stopped Xiaoman.

"Brother, I'm in trouble!"

Putting down the phone, I walked towards the two people, although the doubts are still there, but I have reached this point, even if it is a mountain of swords and fires, I have to go down hard, and simply consciously get into the car.

The car staggered for about half an hour, and finally stopped outside what looked like a factory, a high-gate compound, quite desolate.

"Let's go, brother, everyone is a family when they come, and in the future, everyone will get along in harmony!"

Zhang Wei politely opened the car door and invited me to get out of the car.

"Where's my girlfriend?"

After I got out of the car, I took a look at the surrounding environment, and the bad premonition in my heart became even stronger, and I didn't care if it was convenient for Yu Xiaoman to come out at night, and I only had one thought at the moment, that is, I must see Yu Xiaoman.

"Inside, you can see it when you go in!"

"No, I have to see my girlfriend first, or I won't go in. ”

I took a step back and made a gesture ready to leave.

"Then you wait, I'll let her out!"

Zhang Wei glanced at Zhao Dashan, gestured with his eyes, turned around and went in.

After a while, my girlfriend Yu Xiaoman walked out, followed by two men behind her, those two men had cold eyes, and followed Yu Xiaoman not far away.

Almost at the same time, I had a guess, and without waiting for Yu Xiaoman to talk to me, I turned around and ran not far away......
