That'S How She Became A Little Boss.

Shanghai's "4050" employment project is now called "venture project".

Over the past year, more than 10 thousand people have set up their own small businesses. Zhu Weijuan, a laid-off worker, runs a water station.

On 9 14, Zhu Weijuan took two hours to drive from Nanxiang Town of Shanghai suburb to Shanghai Everbright Convention and Exhibition Center to participate in the "2003 Shanghai venture project exhibition fair".

Zhu Weijuan, 45, runs a pure water supply station called "City Spring" in Nanxiang Town.

She is not satisfied with the status quo: "now that there is some accumulation, I would like to see whether there are any new entrepreneurial projects at the project exhibition fair."

When Zhu Weijuan lost his job, he dared not think about the future.

Before November 2000, Zhu Weijuan was also a worker of the Red Star needle factory in Nanxiang Town. He worked 8 hours a day and 800 yuan a month.

Zhu Weijuan is very satisfied: "I have no skills. Finding a safe job is good."

But this job is not stable.

In November 2000, Zhu Weijuan was laid off from the factory.

"It's hard for me to find a job for a middle-aged woman."

She said.

Because the new house that had been rebuilt for demolition had just been renovated, and it was very tight on hand, plus the children wanted to read, Zhu Weijuan felt that losing his job was like losing his life's support.

"At that time, I was afraid to think about the future. When I thought about it, tears flowed down."

A promotion project has changed the way of life.

The change of Zhu Weijuan's life stems from a promotion of entrepreneurial projects.

As a specialist in the volunteer service group of Shanghai's opening guidance service center, Wang Zhenhuan, chairman of Shanghai earthquake Industry Financial Consulting Co., Ltd., has been trying to do something for his district.

"Shanghai business guidance service center is to provide services and guidance for the" 4050 people "entrepreneurship. As a member of the central expert volunteer corps, I have been thinking about how to give full play to my expertise in serving the laid-off and unemployed people in the community.

Wang Zhenhuan said.

In June 2001, with the help of neighborhood committees, Wang Zhenhuan organized a promotion project to introduce laid-off and unemployed people to entrepreneurship projects and how to start businesses.

Zhu Weijuan took the initiative after he took part in the event.

"When there was an entrepreneurial project of" urban Qingquan ", after listening to the introduction carefully, I felt that I would succeed if I did it.

Zhu Weijuan resolutely went to sea.

It is difficult to start with everything. The difficulty that bears the brunt of it is no venture capital.

"Where did I get money? Since the house was renovated, the income has been kept on a daily basis, with no money on hand."

Zhu Weijuan borrowed nearly twenty thousand yuan from his relatives and friends.

"Money is not enough.

The start-up cost of this project is at least 40 thousand yuan. "

When Zhu Weijuan told her difficulties to Wang Zhenhuan, Wang Zhenhuan thought it was not a problem.

"You can borrow money."

Wang Zhenhuan suggested to her, "the opening guidance service center can guarantee you."

In accordance with Shanghai's policy, the "4050" business can be guaranteed by government loan.

Within a few days, the loan came down, and Zhu Weijuan finally took the first step.

In July 2001, Zhu Weijuan's "city Qingquan" pure water supply station was officially opened.

Though small, Zhu Weijuan had his own business and became a boss.

Small businesses are growing up. Small businesses have the idea of being big boss.

Zhu Weijuan, who has always been silent, has to sell products this time.

"Fortunately, a few days before the counter."

She said that different life experiences always have different rewards.

Zhu Weijuan took the pure water he made and went door-to-door to sell.

"On the first day, I sold two buckets of water."

Zhu Weijuan found it difficult to sell water. "When it was time to sell clothes, it was not so difficult."

Indeed, it is not easy to let people buy water to drink.

Zhu Weijuan always likes to find Wang Zhenhuan when he meets difficulties.

"He's an expert. He has more ideas than I do."

When Zhu Weijuan told Wang Zhenhuan about the business difficulties, Wang Zhenhuan found a solution for her: "the opening guidance service center has free business training classes, specifically for entrepreneurs like you."

Zhu Weijuan is suddenly enlightened: entrepreneurship is a discipline. How can we master it without learning?

Just after the Spring Festival in 2002, Zhu Weijuan enrolled in the entrepreneurship training class.

In order to help entrepreneurs overcome difficulties in business, Shanghai practice guidance service center purchases social training institutions, and provides free entrepreneurship training for entrepreneurs, including management theory, financial knowledge, legal knowledge, sales skills and so on.

"The training class has answered the doubts in my business."

Zhu Weijuan said, "more importantly, through this training, I widened my horizons and realized that entrepreneurship is a comprehensive art. We must do fine and systematic in every aspect of market technology, management, service and personnel, and we must have a pioneering vision."

Zhu Weijuan applied his knowledge to the city and quickly opened up the market. Now, Zhu Weijuan's "urban spring" can sell more than 200 barrels a day, and the daily income is over 1000 yuan.

She was not satisfied with this achievement. She said, "I have some savings now, and I can do better than before.

I hope I can make the business bigger. "

Small businesses grow step by step, and small boss has the idea of becoming a big boss.

Since last year, Shanghai has changed its "4050" employment project to "start up project" to create an environment where people are willing to start businesses and make small businesses grow smoothly.

In more than a year, more than 10 thousand people started their own small businesses in the form of joining and starting their own businesses.
