In the one and a half year journey of entrepreneurship, they have experienced entrepreneurship There have been failures, there have been experiences of being cheated, and I once carried more than 100 books for 1 kilometer to save 1 yuan on shipping costs… Although the road to entrepreneurship is full of hardships, the entrepreneurial team of Heilongjiang University’s “Haoxuetang” Book Club The members gritted their teeth and persisted. In the first month of the book club’s establishment, their sales reached more than 80,000 yuan, and the members decided to donate 30% of the profits to primary and secondary school students in poor areas of Guizhou.
The first project lost 3,000 yuan
All members of the “Haoxuetang” book club entrepreneurial team were members of the school’s “Bamboo Society” charity club. The master once went to Xiaojing Township, Xiuwen County, Guizhou to carry out volunteer teaching activities with Jamaica Sugar Daddy. The first entrepreneurial project was jointly decided by several college students, Luo Ji, Jiang Chi, Tian Shuyang, and Tian Yanliang, on their way to Guizhou to support education.
Luo Ji said: “Because the master has to go to Guizhou to teach almost every holiday, he suddenly thought of buying some handicrafts made by fellow villagers in the teaching place and bringing them back to the school to sell. At that time, the master thought this was a It is the best of both worlds. On the one hand, it can help local fellow villagers sell their handicrafts. On the other hand, Jamaica Sugar Daddy will sell clothing with national characteristics. If I bring it back to Harbin, I believe it will be welcomed by the students.”
In this way, in 2007, their “Guxiangfang” ethnic clothing store was officially opened in the Hei University Student Entrepreneurship Park. Open the door to welcome guests. However, the consequences of market feedback are far from satisfactory. Because the team members did not conduct detailed market research in advance, their clothing did not achieve the expected sales results. The clothing store has been operating for nearly a year, but not only did it not make any money, fourJamaica Sugar also lost more than 3,000 yuan.
Research visited 7 cities in one month
JM Escorts The experience of failure in the first entrepreneurial venture forced the four partners to sit together and look for new entrepreneurial projects from scratch. “How about we open a bookstore? “Jiang Chi, who majored in library science Jamaica Sugar, just put forward his idea, which was immediately recognized by everyone. Luo Ji said: “In school In entrepreneurship, in fact, our understanding of society is relatively shallow. Success cannot be achieved by just relying on motivation. Choosing an industry that everyone is relatively familiar with can defeat the disadvantage of being in a different industry. On campus, exam books are the best sellers, so we decided to focus on exam books first. ”
With the experience of losing money for the first time, this time, the four people were not in a hurry to buy books. They planned to go out to do assessment and research first, and selected Beijing, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Guiyang, Chongqing, Xi’an, 7 cities in Harbin

“You idiot! CaiJamaicans Escortxiu, who was squatting on the fire, jumped up, patted Cai Yi’s forehead and said, “You can do more.” Eat some rice and don’t talk nonsense, do you understand? ”
The book subscription fee was defrauded
In March this yearJamaicans Escort , the entrepreneurial team started from scratch in the Black College Student Entrepreneurship Park. The four people pooled together 20,000 yuan as start-up capital and named their bookstore “Haoxuetang” Book Club
Everything. It was difficult at the beginning, and every step of development required experience. In order to reduce the cost of purchasing books, the team searched around for books suppliers with the lowest price and guaranteed quality of genuine books. In early March, the team members found a publishing agency through the Internet. After communicating with them, the other party agreed to donate the book to them, but they had to pay for the book in advance.

All the more than 100 books need to be exchanged, which is easier said than done. The walking distance from getting off the bus to the book market is about It stands to reason that if you spend 1 yuan to hire a tricycle, you can transport it to the destination in 5 minutes. But Luo JiJamaica Sugar and Jiang Chi were reluctant to waste this unnecessary expense.
More than 100 books in total.The weight was more than 50 kilograms, so two people could only carry it about 100 meters at a time… In this way, although the weather in early spring was still very cold, when they finally moved the book to the book market after six attempts, the two young men were I was so tired that I was sweating profusely and out of breath. The originally 5-minute journey took more than half an hour.
We want to donate 30% of the profits to poor students in Guizhou
