How easy is it for college students to make money?

I saw too many people queuing up in the canteen during dinner today, and I was too lazy to queue. I had to take a nap on the bench outside the dining hall and go in to eat when everyone was gone. I didn't expect that when I woke up, I found that there were a few cents more in the lunch box, and it was so easy for college students to make money.

……

The Chinese market in the 90s was definitely a good time to make a fortune, but this qiē fell on my unfortunate father, who was born with a different meaning......

At that time, I had just been born, and it was a good time for my father to get rich and make a fortune, and my father had been to Shenzhen, visited the city of Guangzhou, and worked in Guangxi Province, and had accumulated certain advantages. But when he was full of pride in getting rich, he unfortunately suffered from a serious illness, cholecystitis, and was also a helpless illness at that time.

It was by then that my father's ambitions had been wiped out. He has gone from being a scrappy man to a cautious little man who accepts his fate.

……

Since I was a child, I didn't have a privileged life, but I aspired to become a businessman since I was a child, because our family was too poor, and I have been poor for several lifetimes. In my generation, I can't be poor anymore, and if I am poor, I will think about change, so I have to learn to be a businessman, a successful businessman. In order to make a radical change, we must fundamentally change and move away from our current small-scale peasant economic life model.

When I first confessed my inner thoughts to my father and expressed my wishes. The father looked at the son in front of him with a mistaken expression, as if he were a stranger, his hands resting habitually on the armrests of the armchairs, and the nails of his thumbs scratched the hardwood of the armrests, intentionally or unintentionally.

I knew that his ten fingers had not yet moved from the five fingers that had been released to the clenched fists, and he would not be able to speak during this time. He was a small worker-peasant proletariat in his mid-middle years, whose only interest was to cut the grass at home, to grow some vegetables, and to repair the earth.

Orphaning him as a child requires him to plan his own life from an early age, and when other people's children are still dying, he is already planning for his future. The sad childhood life made the father attach great importance to and have great expectations for the cultivation of his children. But at the same time, due to the trauma of his childhood and the shape of shadows, his thoughts and feelings have become sensitive, complex and difficult to touch. In short, sometimes he is very loving, and sometimes he becomes very anxious and restless.

At this time, I was facing a graduation internship at school, and I gave up the opportunity to go to the company for an internship, and I probably wouldn't even get a graduation certificate for my major. In that case, my future employability will be unreliable, unpredictable, and worrying. Especially for such a poor family, the impact is enormous and long-lasting.

There was a short silence, which seemed to me after a long silence, and finally my father finally spoke up: "Do you know what a businessman is, who will teach you, no one will lead you to get started at all, you can't even do a small business of exchanging chicken feathers for sugar, small business, why talk about being a businessman?" There was uneasiness and sadness in his voice and tone.

I was speechless, even though I had been watching some of the people and companies around me who were getting richer, and I was always trying to figure out how they made money. And there are no reliable answers from macroeconomics and microeconomics in the books. It may be that I have been disappointed with the knowledge of books more than once, because it simply does not give: what is a businessman, how does he make money, how can he become a successful businessman? The answer to this question.

The question is: What is a businessman?

I knew I had to answer the first question, and I couldn't convince my father without a reliable answer. Because my father, who usually likes to talk and laugh, is far better at eloquence than the usually taciturn me. At the same time, I am deeply aware of the importance of this question to myself.

Because ignorance is dangerous, if I don't even know what a businessman is, what kind of career can I make in the circle of businessmen, and how can I stand out from the crowd of businessmen with a confused mentality?

The question I am puzzled at: a businessman, what is a businessman, and how does he make money? What it takes to be a successful businessman.

……

My mind is remodeling, my memories from childhood to adulthood, longing to pull the image of the businessman out of my memory and study it carefully......

Someone said: "A businessman, what is a businessman, a businessman is opportunistic, not doing business; Scholars, farmers, industrialists, merchants, the ancestors ranked the merchants last, then it means that the merchants are a cheap industry, which is not ashamed of the ancients! ”

It is recorded in the historical records: "The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. "The most neutral interpretation of businessmen in ancient historical books is nothing more than this, and the word 'profit' is the general understanding of businessmen;

There is a cloud in the poem: 'The boss marries a merchant woman, and the merchant values profit over separation. 'As if heavy profit was already the only perverted demand of the world for merchants; Han Fei's historical work "Five Capsules" directly calls businessmen as moths of society. Therefore, it can be said that in the entire feudal history, the status and value of merchants in the cultural society were disgraced by most intellectuals.

At the same time, in China, the image of most businessmen or entrepreneurs is not looked down upon by ordinary people, and the vast majority of people in China think that their faces are ugly. For the vast majority of the poor people, they are vicious hunters, plundering the fruits of others' hard-earned labor.

In fact, the original intention of the businessman was not to be an enemy of the people, an exploiter of the people. The purpose of the study is to make a profit, to create value for themselves, to create value for most people, to create employment opportunities, and to create their own social value. Of course, there are elements of exploitation, but they also take huge risks, and at the same time, the surplus value released can roughly meet the living needs of ordinary people, and the right to freely choose labor contracts has always been in the hands of migrant workers.

It's just that no business and no traitor have a long history in the minds of literati. From many perspectives, the profession of businessman is unpopular in China, mercenary, forgetting righteousness, no businessman or treacherous, short catty and less two, lack of virtue in the five elements, etc., and so on The high hat of a businessman has never left the top of the businessman's head. Although there are indeed profiteers in our society who operate such a market, the saying that this stick is beaten to death is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In fact, the business done by a real businessman should be a win-win or multi-win business, and a single-win business is already a profiteer's behavior, and if no one makes a profit in the business process, then it is not a business. At present, there are more than 10 million small and medium-sized enterprises in China, creating employment opportunities for most of China's more than 1.3 billion people, and stabilizing China's market economy and state politics.

The notoriety of businessmen has been known since ancient times, so some people say, "Businessmen, what is a businessman, businessmen are not only seeking profits, but also learning to pass on their losses to others; What is a businessman, a 'businessman' is someone who 'hurts others'.

In fact, saying that a merchant is a kind of cheap industry is just the prejudice of the ancients against the merchant, not so much that the merchant is a person who harms others, is there a place in this world where you can live a normal life without the goods provided by the merchant?

In fact, doing business is to buy the east and sell the west, catch the price difference with your mind, do not steal or rob, and earn hamstring money and hard-earned money. The values that businessmen abide by are: the pursuit of profit maximization; The business principles that people agree on are: a gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way; The money-making method to follow to make money: distinguish between the high and the low, the distance and the near, and adjust the surplus and shortage.

Why is cargo called a thing? That is to say, to do business is to buy and sell the 'goods' from the east to the west, and then to buy and sell the 'goods' from the west to the east. In fact, we have all kinds of things in our hands, some exotic, some from thousands of miles away, some from the creation of ideas, and so on. We have made our material life so rich and colorful, and it is all the credit of businessmen. Business is circulation, as soon as the waterhole circulates it becomes a river, and as soon as the river circulates it becomes a river; If the river does not flow, it is a river, and if the river does not flow, it is a pool of stagnant water.

And in this world, there are often those who buy and can't find what they sell, and those who sell can't find what they buy. A merchant is a trader, a businessman, who is anxious for what people need and what they need. 'Bring over what we need, take away what we think is of little value. Therefore, there can be no businessmen in this world!

……

(Well, in fact, I didn't have such a deep idea at that time, these are the dialectical thinking in a book called "What is a Businessman" that I wrote during my later entrepreneurial period, and about this book, I will introduce the reasons for creating zào later.) ）

But at that time, I also had my own thoughts, that is, why are people who do what they love more likely to succeed?

Do what you like to do, no matter how difficult it is, it is your own choice, no matter how difficult it is, you will try to do it well;

Do what you don't like, no matter how good the industry is, it is just perfunctory, and you have to get by, and naturally you can't achieve the leading level in the industry;

Do what you like, the enthusiasm is there, no matter how ordinary it is, it will become extraordinary;

Do things you don't like to do, and you can't raise the slightest enthusiasm; No matter how big the business opportunity is, it will be lost in absent-mindedness.

……

"Well, I just wanted to say, I'm going to do what I love!"
