I Dream Of Starting A Business.

This is a laundry at the North wa road in Beijing. The sun shines through the wide glass windows and sprinkles on the white Calla on the counter.

Although it was not 9:00, the store was busy.

The clothes basket is full of clothes to be washed, and the clerk is doing a pre cleaning check.

In the hot air of Chi Chi, a pair of trousers on the cold stamping table has been directly molded.

The laundry shop owner is Wang Hai, the fourth in October 2003 to join the laundry.

Wang Hai went to the laundry laundries road to join the laundries. It was purely out of interest. At that time, there were only more than 20 outlets in the country, and Wang Hai, who had been traveling abroad for eight years and had done more than ten trades, wanted to change a way of life.

He consulted with the company and was attracted by neat and meticulous decoration, bright blue and green, and courteous service.

He took out all his savings and borrowed money from his relatives and friends. After half a month, he got together 800 thousand yuan to set up shop funds.

The next step is to select the store site, deliver rent, affiliate fees, decoration fees, equipment, electrical appliances, laundry accessories, and hire staff.

In the summer of 1999, Wang Hai, 31, opened his first laundry in Xiaoxi.

When the business starts off in the off-season, there are few customers. Wang Hai is very anxious. He sends publicity materials to the pedestrians and calls the company every day.

More than two months later, business has changed.

"It was September 16, 1999. I remember it to now."

Suddenly it rained on the first day and the temperature dropped 10 degrees. In the second day, more than one hundred customers came.

Since then, business has been on the right track.

Because of the small shop people, Wang Hai in the store everything is done.

He gets up at 7:00 every day, almost from early to late.

After closing the door in the evening, he and his wife made a floor shop in the shop of more than 70 square meters.

Two years later, the laundry recovered its cost.

Wang Hai joined the operation to become simple, and the laundry business is getting better and better.

A year later, he began to organize a branch store every year.

In the view of Wang Hai, it is not difficult for a company to open a laundries. If we can take the first phase of investment and work diligently and steadfastly, we can do a good job in the laundry. In general, 2 to 3 years will be able to recover the cost. His second stores only used 1 years, 8 months.

From the investment point of view, the laundry industry is "high failure, low not", rich people do not want to do, no money can not do.

Wang Hai's experience is that if you want to run a laundry well, people will not be diligent.

Laundry often touches stubborn stains. It is common for a garment to wash 35 times.

He once washed a down coat 14 times, washed it and dry cleaned it in turns, and finally basically cleaned it up. "I can't wash it clean here, and there are not many other people who can clean it, because I have done my best."

Fornet headquarters provides a complete set of supporting services and strong technical support to the franchisees.

According to Wang Hai, the shop was trained for one month before the branch opened. After the shop opened, the headquarters sent a teacher to the store for 10 days, and visited several times a year.

All kinds of small items in the shop have uniform specifications, and even the formulation of laundry price will provide a reference price list with a certain fluctuation.

There are some rare problems encountered in laundry, such as black and yellow yellowing after washing. Laundry can not be handled, and can be sent to the R & D center of the company, which is studied by experienced professionals and processed with corresponding preparations.

The growing diversity of laundry business has also given Wang Hai the impetus to open shop continuously.

Now everything in the laundry is washed, quilts, blankets, plush toys and carpets become "regular customers".

Wang Hai laughed, and even had to wash cloth.

Wang Hai's fifth laundry sites are chosen to study in the Qing Road, near Tsinghua University, which is estimated to earn 3.4 million yuan a year.

Wang Hai said he would not open branches again, and would like to manage the 5 stores while waiting for the opportunity to change careers.

One is that the laundry market in Beijing is beginning to become saturated, and the two reason is that it does not want to leave home too far.

But he will still choose the service industry, because the service industry is closely related to the people's livelihood industry and has broad prospects.

Although he did not intend to continue to open his shop, Wang Hai was very optimistic about the market. Now more and more people join the franchise. Now the rate of opening the laundry market in Beijing is almost the same as the original two or three years.

In contrast, the rest of the country is much slower, and many places do not yet know much about the laundry industry. In fact, the laundry industry in these cities has great potential, especially in some small and medium-sized cities in the South and in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The living standard of some residents in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is no worse than that in Beijing.

Wang Hai believes that since it is a business, no company can make a promise to make a package, and the company will give you a lot of space to operate independently while giving you good technical support, so we should seize the opportunity.

His feeling is: "as long as people are not greedy, the rent is not too high and the geographical location is suitable, the work is done.

To do this job is to run smoothly and make a profit of 1.2 million yuan a year.

Wang Hai said: "franchising is a good thing, standing on the shoulders of giants can save a lot of effort."

If you are successful in finding a way to success, you can only go forward boldly.
