Laid-Off Workers Earn Four Years Of Entrepreneurship

01, 11, Guo Dabao is a farmer's son in Wuhu, Anhui. He served as a soldier, and was deeply involved in a message in 1995.

In those days, Guo Dabao turned to newspapers to find jobs every day. He had also been to the talent market many times, and no one was willing to hire a senior high school student.

Guo Dabao is very grateful to the Municipal Labor Bureau. At that time, the Municipal Labor Bureau provided three free training for all laid-off workers. The courses included hairdressing, food and beverage training, and self starting businesses.

Guo Dabao entered the entrepreneurship training class.

70 thousand yuan Entrepreneurship

Guo Dabao has two very good fellow townsman, a successful career, the other in Shenzhen plastics industry for many years, there is a good project in hand.

Friends urged Guo Dabao to do it by himself.

Wealthy friends invest 70 thousand yuan, and another friend provides project information, which is handled by Guo Dabao.

Guo Dabao friend's hand made items are specially designed for export high-grade shoes.

According to information provided by Guo Dabao friends, only a Taiwanese funded enterprise in Changan, Dongguan, produced this shoe mold. The largest user was also in Dongguan, a Taiwanese shoe factory ranking the top in the world.

Guo Dabao directly found this Taiwanese shoe making enterprise. Guo Dabao did not expect that he was the general manager and seven or eight business executives.

When everyone talked about a long table, Guo Dabao's legs were shaking all the time. Before that, he had never seen any shoe models, nor had any products on hand.

Guo Dabao only remembered that the Taiwan boss said, "I don't care how you make the product. As long as things are good, the price is right and the delivery is in time, I will buy your goods."

It is this sentence that makes Guo Dabao see hope.

Guo Dabao partnership with friends is Shenzhen qombo Industrial Co., Ltd.

At first, they bought other people's products and sold them to the Taiwan boss. Because the volume was small and the selling price was not much lower than the others, the Taiwan boss still bought their goods.

Doing business with this big Taiwan business has brought credibility to the group.

When group business and some small businesses were talking about business, the other side heard that the big Taiwanese factory was a group of customers, and they followed orders.

In the first month, Guo Dabao made 10 thousand yuan, and the next three months were not well controlled.

8000 yuan a month for three months.

Friends want to divest money, Guo Dabao asked Uncle to borrow 30 thousand yuan to continue to do.

Three months later, business began to improve.

Guo Dabao formally bought equipment and rented up the factory building in Gongming town.

Three friends also made clear their respective shares, and Guo Dabao was the second largest shareholder.

Today, group industry is already the largest shoe mold supplier in the industry. The monthly shoe mold orders are 30 to 400 thousand yuan.

The success of the first project made Guo Dabao realize two points. First, all the buyers would not be satisfied with getting goods from only one supplier, because this is not only risky, but also easy to be controlled by the other side; second, small business ships should dare to touch cruisers.

Guo Dabao believes that if small businesses can start business with big customers at the very beginning, not only will the business be stable, but also the starting point of technology quality will be higher. In addition, small businesses will be more likely to concentrate on manpower and material resources and improve efficiency and benefit at the very beginning.

A project lost about 200000.

On the track of shoe models, Guo Dabao saw another shoe related product -- shoe support.

Guo Dabao thinks that they are all accessories used for shoes, and they are also the same purchasing companies. This product should not be very difficult.

I didn't expect to lose about 200000 yuan in shoe support.

Guo Dabao said, do not look at the same thing is used on shoes, because the shoe industry is already quite mature, later, there is no cost advantage.

Guo Dabao found that the cost of each shoe material was 1 cents more expensive than the price of the finished product.

The failure of this project has made Guo Dabao realize that entering a mature industry can accumulate experience in compensation unless the economic strength is the first, and second, new technology or new technology can greatly reduce costs, otherwise it is best not to blindly produce.

Challenge environmental protection tableware

In 2002, Guo Dabao was attracted by the huge market demand of environmentally-friendly tableware, and began to develop environmentally-friendly tableware.

More than two years later, many environmentally-friendly tableware enterprises can not support it. Guo Dabao's environmental protection tableware products are a little bigger.

Guo Dabao began to focus on technology research and development in environmental protection tableware, trying to reduce costs instead of expanding the scale.

While making environmental cutlery, he also began producing eggs and vegetables pallets.

His sales route is to encircle the cities in the countryside, sell pallets in the rural areas and farmers' homes, and sell vegetables pallets to agencies. The pallet produced by the group has entered many large supermarkets in Shenzhen.

Now, 4 years later, he not only solved the problem of survival, but also founded an enterprise with 200 employees and annual sales of over ten million yuan.

Looking back on the entrepreneurial experience of four years, Guo Dabao lamented the potential.

In the entrepreneur who was forced to succeed, he saw the confidence and happiness brought by entrepreneurship.
