A Millionaire Washed By A Dishwasher

From a young teacher's unemployment to a dishwasher for making a living, starting from debt 200 thousand to struggling for millions of assets, she relied on her own mind and hands to start a "successful feast" step by step.

Sun Qiuping was born in the 60s of the last century, like most people in that period. She was ordinary and ordinary.

After her graduation from high school, she went to an enterprise kindergarten to work as a kindergarten teacher.

But at the end of 1996, the company suddenly told her that the kindergarten was disbanded because of the poor management of the company.

When she was unprepared, she became "empty" and her life became empty.

Shortly after she lost her job, her husband was laid off, and the family suddenly had no financial resources, and the child was still at school.

I can only find another job.

She said, at that time, I felt that I had had a nightmare.

But now she remembers that she was grateful for that part of her life. She was washing dishes and laid the foundation for her future development.

From 1997 to 2001, Sun Qiuping started her career as a dishwasher under the help of other people in a Japanese restaurant in a hotel in Changchun, earning only less than 500 yuan a month.

In the past year, she became the front office manager. She can still remember the first Japanese sentence she learned on the first day of the dishes shop.

"Take all the dishes that you have washed."

On the morning of the first day of work, the chef, Japanese Kimda Miro, assigned her work in Japanese.

At that time, she never touched Japanese, and after hearing it, she did not understand what it meant. Kimda Miro continued speaking in Japanese several times, but she still had no response. It made Kimda Miro very angry. He threw a stir fried spoon into the sink and ran away with great anger.

After that, the kitchen colleague told her that the chef just asked her to bring the dishes.

Through this incident, she fully realized that in such an environment, she could not work without knowing Japanese. On the afternoon of that day, she learned a simple Japanese: "after work, you go slowly."

When she was off duty at the same day, when she said goodbye to the chef in this blunt Japanese language, the chef was very surprised. Then she was very happy to tell her in the same stiff Chinese, "you are a very hard Chinese person, and there will be development."

After that, she studied Japanese very hard. Most of the time after work, she used to learn Japanese.

When the chef knew it, she began to promote her and impart some Japanese cooking techniques to her.

After a short month, she was pferred to the kitchen by virtue of her diligence and sensitivity to Japanese cuisine.

After nearly a year's work in the kitchen, she basically mastered Japanese cooking practices, and her diligence was also seen by Japanese bosses. In 1998, she promoted her to be the front desk manager of a restaurant.

By 2001, the restaurant has become a famous restaurant in Changchun. Sun Qiuping's hard work and management experience has also been recognized by his colleagues.

There were other stores that asked her to work in the past. Some of the shops even made a commission of 5% of their gross profit and a monthly salary of 2000 yuan. At that time, there were several times the difference between her salary and the favorable conditions they had set up, but she had only one idea at that time.

At the end of 2001, the owner of this restaurant began to switch to work abroad, ending the business in the Chinese cooking shop, so Sun Qiuping had to lose his job again.

But now she is different from the unemployed preschool teacher 5 years ago, but is an expert with rich experience in Japanese restaurant management.

She went to another Japanese restaurant in Changchun as manager, but her management method was difficult to blend with the family management enterprise. After more than a month, she resigned and left, and then she tried several more, but all of them encountered the same problem.

In this case, why not open a shop and make a boss yourself?

She was cruel and cruel, and did it herself!

After the short term preparation, she borrowed 200 thousand yuan from the bank and borrowed some money from her relatives and friends. Finally, in October 5, 2002, she opened a Japanese restaurant with a size of about 160 square meters.

With her management experience and familiarity with the industry, she became a famous Japanese restaurant in Changchun after only one month.

According to her plan, bank loans can be paid off in less than a year.

She may have been intending to test her. Just a few months after her opening, she met her biggest career crisis, SARS.

"At that time, there were very few customers every day, even if there were few customers in the shop at the weekend, at least 30 thousand yuan a month."

Now she remembers the situation of SARS, still feeling deeply.

At that time, many hotels were basically in a state of gloomy business, and some even disappeared.

In order to quickly reverse this situation, she began planning to send Japanese box lunch to schools and hospitals.

Her hard work helped her again. In the first half of 2003, a professor ordered a box lunch in her shop. In order to enable the professor to eat hot lunch, she specially drove a taxi to the professor's home from Comrade Street.

At that time, the professor was very moved and publicize her lunch box to her colleagues in school, and the story of her sending a box lunch to a taxi became a well-known story among the industry.

So far, many teachers and professors in many colleges have become friends with her through box lunch and become frequent customers in her shop.

At the same time, "taxi to deliver lunch" also made her win credit. During that special period, some people still went to her restaurant for dinner, and she finally survived the difficult period.

In the June of 2003, Sun Qiuping began to develop his Japanese cooking shop at the same time as he breathed a long breath.

And one of the Japanese guests is a great inspiration to her.

According to her introduction, in June of 2003, an old Japanese man came to the store. Before that, the Japanese old man had visited several cooking shops in Changchun, but they did not feel very satisfied.

When someone introduced Sun Qiuping's Japanese restaurant to the Japanese old man, the old man didn't start looking at this shop at the beginning. He came to a small shop and gave Sun Qiuping a "disgrace".

"I'll give you a question. If you can answer it, I'll have dinner with you. How much is the best temperature of sake in Japan?"

In Japan, sake is used to measure whether the restaurant is authentic.

"The body temperature is the most suitable for 37 degrees Celsius."

When the Japanese old man heard the answer, he was very excited because no one in the other Japanese restaurants in Changchun had ever answered the question correctly, and after the taste of her cooking, the old man gave her the highest and most cordial comment. "This is the taste of our hometown (Japan)."

Since then, the old man has come to her store to taste every time she comes to Changchun, and keeps introducing her cooking shop to her friends.

With this experience, Sun Qiuping has seen the benefits brought about by the details of the service, and even improved the level of the entire catering store from the service details.

The details are everywhere, too.

Open the toothpick box, 16 toothpicks are placed in neat squares, and the wooden window lattice on the walls is almost without dust. Sun Qiuping said that every day she had to wear white gloves to check every window lattice to ensure cleanliness. "The Japanese pay great attention to the cleanliness of the dining environment, which can not be underestimated."

It is through this service that her restaurant has ushered in more customers.

Now, when Sun Qiuping started his business, 200 thousand of the loans he owed to the bank had been completely repaid, and he had nearly 1 million yuan of personal assets.

She also has a bigger goal to expand the scale of her shop on the existing basis, and try to open her shop to Japan.
