Chapter 142: The Hardships of Entrepreneurship (3rd Update, Alliance Leader Plus 5)

"What requirements?" Lao Huang subconsciously sat up straight.

"I'm going to make an app and promote it in your school when the time comes. Don't worry, it's not a mess, it's an interactive community, which talks about some art and sports students, such as various skills, how to take exams, where is the school good, and so on. Of course, there will also be a special area for schools like yours to promote yourself, and other schools may be added later. Seeing Lao Huang's nervous appearance, He Yuan smiled and pressed his hand, signaling him not to worry too much.

Hearing He Yuan say this, Lao Huang relaxed slightly, with a little embarrassment on his face: "That's it, if that's the case, you just give me that APP, and I'll promote it for you when I go back." If you cooperate, think about it, this price is too low, you can't make anything at all, right?"

Lao Huang stood in He Yuan's perspective and worried him.

"Haha, it's okay, my homestay is newly opened, and it's already a bad business. I have to thank you for doing the work for me. Everyone is an old classmate, and it's too vulgar to talk about money. Let's eat today, and I'll talk about it later, and I'll talk about it later. He Yuan laughed and changed the subject.

Lao Huang originally wanted to say something, but when he saw He Yuan like this, he could only close his mouth and start eating again.

Because Lao Huang wanted to drive, He Yuan didn't let him drink. He took a few cans of Wang Laoji, and the two of them replaced wine with tea, and the conversation was hot.

Most of the time, it was Lao Huang who spoke, and He Yuan listened to it.

I haven't seen him for a few years, and Lao Huang is now in high spirits. I opened a school, bought a house, bought a luxury car, heard that I am married, and I have been planning to have a child, which can be regarded as a bumper career and a happy family.

So between his words, he basically talked about his own affairs, from middle school to college, from working to how he started his own business. Especially when it comes to starting a business, it's really a bitter tear, and tears are coming out of the chat.

"You don't know, when I just did it myself, I called a bitterness. To run a training class, you have to ask for a venue, right? Once you have a venue, you have to decorate it, right? You still have to go to the government and go through those messy procedures, what should you do if you don't know what to do? Find someone. As a result, the person I was looking for was unreliable, he was deceived, and he didn't talk about the money when he was gone, the key was that the matter was delayed. ”

"I finally got the preparatory work right, and I recruited teachers and students. Hey, these things look easy, but when you get them, it's a hard thing to do. You have a new training class, and you don't have much money, who wants to go to you? I have no choice but to find friends, ask for the phone numbers of those teachers, and go to the door one by one. This is begging grandpa again, and suing grandma, and finally got a few good teachers, clapping their hands, and having to find students. ”

"You don't know, those parents are tough. Handing out flyers and advertising is useless. At that time, I asked someone to take that kind of little flyer, go to the school gate and hand out the parents, send one, write down a number, and come back to pay according to the number, five yuan per number. I originally recruited someone, specifically according to the number to call the parents, a month later, I also recruited so many three melons and two dates, and a lot of people came to see, saying that there are so few people in this training class, I am afraid that it is unreliable, and then just turn around and leave. In the end, the person who called didn't come, and he resigned and left because of the low salary. Yes, the recruited students are not enough for her salary alone, there is no way, I can only go in person, from morning to night, call one by one, and my mouth is worn out. ”

"In the first two years, I didn't make any money at all, and I lost a lot of money in it. In fact, forget it, the key is, many times I have wondered if I have done something wrong, whether I am not suitable for entrepreneurship, whether I should take this training class out, go to work outside by myself, and live a small life in peace. ”

"During that time, I was in a state of anxiety every day, and my hair was falling out one by one. Oh, look at my hair, it's not good yet, how dense my hair used to be, like a forest, it's all worrying. As soon as I open my eyes every day, I have to start calculating the rent of the training class, the teacher's salary, and the cost of various equipment and equipment. You have to think about how to make money, how to pull students, and how to get results. ”

"Fortunately, the above began to stop those English, high math and the like, saying that those things can't be added in the future. A lot of children are empty all of a sudden, so what should I do? During that time, many parents were asking, what violin, what piano, what saxophone. A lot of training courses don't have this stuff, or there are few teachers, and it's not professional. Yes, I seized the opportunity and finally got a foothold. ”

"After that, things started to get simpler, with more and more students and more and more grades. What awards in the city, awards in the province, a lot. We also organized students to go to Beijing to participate in performances and exams, took a lot of photos and came back, and even appeared on TV. Hey, as soon as this happened, we became famous, and a lot of parents came to us and wanted to stuff their children in. There were more and more teachers and students, and the previous space could not be fitted, so I rented a single-family red brick building from that small office building. I thought about it, and then I will open a branch school, or cooperate with other schools, to see if I can go up further. Lao Huang babbled.

He Yuan could see that he didn't drink, but he was also drunk.

He Yuan understands Lao Huang, really, he has experienced a lot of startups himself.

People who have never started a business always think of entrepreneurship as very simple, as if as soon as I come out, as soon as I get investment, recruit people, I can do it immediately, and it won't take long for the product to sell well, with an annual income of 10 million, and even apply for listing, like Ma Yun and Ma Huateng, become a billionaire.

That's what it's all said in the news.

In particular, some job search programs, some TV dramas, and some print media news are always preaching that young people nowadays are very simple to start a business, what post-80s, post-90s, less than 30, worth tens of billions. A while ago, there was a post-00s president who independently developed the first browser with China's own engine, and it seems that he has won some national awards, which is simply hyped to the sky.

It didn't take long for someone to pick it up.,The so-called self-developed browser,It's a foreign browser.,After a simple change of skin.,It's called independent research and development.。

There are many post-90s domineering presidents, post-90s beautiful presidents, who have been in business for two years and have assets of tens of millions or hundreds of millions. Now if I search again, I am either bankrupt, or I have run away, or I owe a lot of debts, and now I can't see anyone.

Anyone who has really started a business knows that starting a business is very difficult.

Working for others and working for yourself are two different concepts.

As a part-time worker, you only need to care about how to do what you do well, how to surpass your colleagues, not to be at the bottom of the company, whether you can get your salary on time every month, how much bonus you can expect, whether you will be angry with your colleagues again, what to eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, whether you will work overtime at night, whether there will be dinners, and where to go on weekends and holidays.

That's basically all there is to it.

But as an entrepreneur, what you open your eyes every day is where to get the money next month.

Money is required for rent, water, electricity and heating, wages for employees, holiday gifts, overtime, red envelopes during the New Year's holidays, dinner parties, and even money for employees who are sick, married, or have children.

Where does the money come from?

Since He Yuan entered the industry, he has been doing business, which is directly linked to money. After experiencing four or five start-up companies, He Yuan knows very well that even in the Internet industry that stood on the cusp a few years ago, a start-up company could not get out in the first two years, and even most companies were losing money.

He Yuan's previous companies basically relied on the personal relationship of the boss, picking a little left and right, taking jobs from former colleagues, companies, and partners to earn money.

But in those years, those who dared to come out to start a business were all bigwig-level figures with heads and faces in the industry, and ordinary people would not come out at all.

Even then, the company is only barely able to sustain itself, and many times it is actually unable to get out. Many veterans and shareholding leaders have brought their relatives in, not to occupy a position, but to be able to save a little expense.

If you are in Beijing, you will go outside to recruit a new person, and it will cost you four or five or five thousand, and one housing fund will cost six or seven thousand. Relatives of his own family, living with him, saved rent, and it was enough to give 3,000 a month.

When He Yuan was in the first company, he saw more than once that their director was in the office, scolding and crying his sister who only got a salary of 3,000.

He Yuan was particularly worried at that time, if the company went bankrupt one day, would he have to go out to find a job? As a newcomer, he did not have enough time to enter the industry, and he was not very familiar with the industry, so if he suddenly lost his job, and Beijing's consumption was so high, how would he survive?

Because of this idea, He Yuan worked hard to improve himself, took on any job, did everything, slept three or four hours a day, and finally became a well-known figure in the industry in the eyes of the company and partners in a year.

The leader of his second company only recruited him into that big company when he heard that He Yuan had strong business ability and worked hard.

Although it is not a listed company, it is a large company with six subsidiaries and an annual operating income of several hundred million.

Later, He Yuan followed the old leaders to start a business together, and also experienced a lot of hardships, and now when he talks about it, he still has bitter tears.

The two chatted for a long time, and it wasn't until almost ten o'clock in the evening that Lao Huang said goodbye and left.

Tang Duoduo had already gone up to rest, but after Lao Huang left, she came down again and helped He Yuan clean up the table together.

"You seem to have lost a lot. Tang Duoduo said to He Yuan casually while cleaning up.

"Is it a loss? Not necessarily. The corners of He Yuan's mouth hooked, and he shook his head with a smile.
