My First Bucket, Where Are You In Gold?

For college students, there is such a simile method: instead of 1000 people to grab a job seat, why not simply create a chair for yourself?

The society is calling for "relieve and divert" the employment pressure of college students, and has begun to give support to all kinds of entrepreneurial students. University students' self employment has become an important way of employment.

So, what are the preparations for college students' entrepreneurship?

How to raise money?

And how to plan?

The reporter interviewed two graduate students from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, one is Tao Jingchao, a material processing engineering major. He founded the Ao Zheng hi tech Limited by Share Ltd, which is already a model. A business consulting company who studies geotechnical engineering and is friends with friends is also on the right track.

Let their entrepreneurial experience tell you what to prepare for a college student's entrepreneurship and what to experience.

What is good: what do you like?

Making money?

It is the first and foremost difficulty to choose suitable business projects.

Many college students do not understand the market situation because they have no work experience, and often fail because they have chosen inappropriate projects.

Many students have such a question: is it the business of choosing their own business, or is it just like looking for money?

Cai Jun, a teacher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, suggested that college students should start their own business together with their own interests. "Entrepreneurship and employment is a truth, not doing what they like, and never doing well."

Cai told reporters that the project selection of College Students' entrepreneurship is relatively extensive: there are small shops selling flowers and clothes, some restaurants open with their parents, and some high-tech projects.

The first two thresholds are low, the technology content is low, the import is relatively easy, the initial money is fast, but it is also easy to be replaced by others; the latter is a project which needs large investment in the early stage, and it is difficult to get on the right track immediately. It is not easy for university students, but once it is successful, it will have the taste of "monopoly".

Cai said that some items with lower threshold could be selected first. After digging up the "first pot of gold", not only will they accumulate capital, but also accumulate experience.

The most troublesome problem is "where is the first pot of gold" coming from?

Everyone who wants to start a business has a good blueprint, which is full of enthusiasm, but how many people can really turn it into reality?

The first big gateway is "money". How can it be easy to start from scratch?

So how can we start from scratch and accumulate primitive capital for the "poor poor" graduates?

1. of Tao Jingchao's business is the "commanding height" of Nanking, coating and surface technology for college students. The high-tech content is very popular in college students' entrepreneurial projects, but often requires a lot of money.

"My investors are my friends in foreign trade, and they trust each other.

I am very familiar with nanomaterials and have been doing related topics. He saw that this project was very good and became my investor.

Tao Jingchao said.

Tao Jingchao said that finding the right investors and mutual recognition is a long process and requires patience.

"I want to tell the entrepreneurial college students: don't worry too much about money, as long as your project is good, you will find investors, so stick to it, but the premise is that you have detailed planning and good feasibility plan."

According to the reporter, there are many investment companies on the market, through which they can invest in projects.

2., from the "small", the accumulation of funds in the last year of graduate studies, Zhang Qing used spare time to help some foreign clients purchasing agents, and accumulated a lot of customer resources.

"The source of the first batch of funds is interesting: last year, by chance, I met a friend of my friend who was a Garner administration official who had just arrived in Shanghai. It coincided with President Garner's 4 year re-election year. He came to China to purchase camping lights and special ballot bags for election day. He was very anxious that the prices and services provided by the suppliers in advance were far from his previous commitments. He felt very unhappy.

In this case, we volunteered to help him do a lot of things: finding new suppliers, ordering goods, arranging air pportation...

It took all the trouble to finish all the tasks before the presidential election, sending the camps and ballot bags to Garner.

Zhang Qingxu said with a smile, "this is indeed a very accidental opportunity. The official is very pleased with our enthusiastic help and is willing to establish long-term trade relations with us and designate us as the purchasing representative of his company in China.

Later, the customer introduced us to some other customers, who gradually became frequent with our business contacts, thus giving birth to our idea of establishing a Sino African trade consulting company.

It seems that some seemingly small businesses can help students accumulate their original capital while accumulating experience.

Cai told reporters that some college students first went to run taxis after graduation, in order to accumulate business funds from a low threshold project.

3., applying for small loans or government funds, according to Mr. Cai, the Shanghai labor and Social Security Bureau has implemented a small loan business support mechanism to solve the problem of self financing. If students apply for entrepreneurship, they basically do not need mortgage guarantee, but applicants must be Shanghai students.

Besides, it can also apply for government funds.

Cai told reporters specially: the first government subsidized fund supported by university students in Shanghai, the "Angel Fund" for science and technology entrepreneurship of university students, is used to subsidize university graduates to set up science and technology enterprises and give consideration to consulting enterprises.

The first phase of the fund is planned for 3 years, with a total scale of 150 million yuan.

At present, the receiving points have been set up in Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Fudan University, Shanghai Univer and University of Shanghai for Science and Technology.

Tao Jingchao and Zhang Qingxu are both applicants for this year's "Angel Fund" Jiaotong University reception point. According to the reporters, if the application is successful, they will first get 50 thousand yuan of hatching money and then get 300 thousand of the stock capital.

The future blueprint is "painting" ahead of schedule. Business planning is as important as career planning.

The answer is, of course, No.

"The reason why many college students fail in their business is that they are too eager to" go on the horse "and seldom consider the long-term development problem, and lack rational and scientific planning.

Zhang Qingxu felt that he felt the most deeply. "I often sit down and think quietly about what my company is like 3 years from now.

What will it be like in 5 years?

Business blueprint is as important as career planning.

When he chatted with Tao Jingchao, he talked cheerfully about his plan: "the first goal of the company plan has been achieved, with a temporary office, a rental machine and 6 employees.

The most recent plan is to change a large office in August this year, and then build a 5 mu plant in Minhang at the end of the year, buy the corresponding equipment, and recruit more than 10 employees.

Zhang Qingxu said he would not rush to expand his business for the time being. The most important thing is to further close the existing customer relationship and lay a solid foundation.

Most of his client resources are from African countries: "like Garner, Tanzania, Nigeria and Uganda, there are clients who are good friends with me.

At present, some countries in Africa are in the stage of rapid development and have great market potential, but their trade patterns are not at a stage of development with those in Europe and the United States. They do not understand the Chinese market. Our company provides the most business information to these African companies and businessmen.

The plan for two years is to develop into a professional service business consulting company and accumulate more capital and customer resources in the process of development, so as to prepare for the development of comprehensive industrial companies integrating production and trade consultation two years later.

Teacher Cai said that students like them who have long term plans have scored three points in entrepreneurship.

The key to entrepreneurship planning lies in reality, rationality and science. This requires college students to make detailed plans, consult more experienced people, see what is feasible, what is reasonable and what is possible to achieve, and go step by step.

There are few delusions, and many points of learning, "Cai said." many of the college students who are in the honey bowl are lacking in frustration and crisis, but they have many "delusions".

"It is good to have ideas, but many of them have become unrealistic" delusions "without seeing the cruelty of reality and not rushing through waves in the commercial wave.

But Cai also said that this is a necessary process. If we want to accumulate and learn more in practice, we can avoid detours.

"1." and "experienced partners", "at the beginning, I had a lot of unrealistic ideas. I want to build the factory buildings at once, so that we can have a good view of ourselves first."

During the interview, Tao Jingchao laughed: "later, some of the investors' ideas and ideas brought me to know where the skills really are.

He advised me to do the market first and see which project is good and then consider the purchase of machinery and plant building after the market positioning.

I feel very reasonable and did it. Now the company's structure is quite stable, no matter whether it is in terms of institutional setup, ideas and staffing.

Tao Jingchao said he was a student of science and engineering. He knew nothing about management and finance at first. But after contacting with investors and accountants, he learned a lot of scientific ideas and management methods. Practice is of course the best way to learn.

2., learn from oneself first, and then practice the company that the company is talking about for the time being, two people and friends. The most important way of learning is self study.

During his schooling, he paid attention to strengthening the learning and accumulation of knowledge in foreign trade, foreign languages, management, finance and so on. He took part in oral English training and paid great attention to the experience of successful entrepreneurs.

He said, "there is no skill in this process. We can only learn from the lack of knowledge and apply knowledge properly to practice. At the same time, we learn from others' successful experiences and make ourselves grow up as quickly as possible.

For entrepreneurs, to accumulate knowledge, to exercise ability, to cultivate a lot of quality, we must seize the time to progress! "
