Inspirational story from dishwash to millionaire

What is success? Is a kind of persistence, is a kind of persistence! Sun is a successful climber, from being an unemployed kindergarten teacher to becoming a dishwasher to make a living, from being in debt of 200,000 to struggling for millions of assets. Under her weak appearance and rational thinking, she is constantly yearning for and pursuing her own career. She succeeded step by step by relying on her own mind and hands.

Situation 1: Lose the "rice bowl" of kindergarten teachers and start washing dishes.

Sun was born in the 1960s. Like most people at that time, she was ordinary and ordinary.

After graduating from high school, she went to an enterprise kindergarten as a kindergarten teacher. However, at the end of 1996, the company suddenly informed her that the kindergarten was dissolved due to poor business conditions.

At that time, she was unprepared and her life became empty. Soon after she lost her job, her husband was laid off, and the family suddenly had no source of income, while the children were still at school. What should I do to make a living? I have to find another job.

At that time, she said, I felt like I had a nightmare. But looking back now, she is also grateful for that life. It was in this matter of washing dishes that she laid the foundation for her future development.

From 1997 to 200 1, with the help of others, Sun started working as a dishwasher in a Japanese restaurant in a hotel in Changchun, but he could only get no income from 500 yuan's salary every month.

Situation 2: become the front office manager for one year.

Up to now, she can still remember the first sentence of Japanese she learned when she went to the restaurant to wash dishes on the first day.

"Bring all the washed dishes." On the morning of the first day at work, the Japanese chef Kanda Saburo assigned her a job in Japanese.

At that time, she had not been exposed to Japanese. After listening to this, she had no idea what it meant. Kanda Saburo spoke several times in Japanese, but she still didn't respond, which made Kanda Saburo very angry. She threw a spoon into the sink and left very angry.

Afterwards, a colleague in the kitchen told her that the chef just asked her to bring the plate.

Through this incident, she fully realized that in such an environment, she could not work without knowing Japanese. In the afternoon, she learned a simple Japanese sentence, "Go slowly after work."

At the end of the day, when she said goodbye to the chef in this blunt Japanese, the chef was surprised, and then happily told her in the same blunt Chinese, "You are a hard-working China native and will definitely develop."

Later, she studied Japanese very hard and spent most of her spare time studying Japanese. When the chef knew this, he began to promote her and teach her some Japanese cooking skills.

A short month later, she was transferred to the back kitchen by virtue of her diligence and sensitivity to Japanese cuisine. After working in the kitchen for nearly a year, she has basically mastered the Japanese cuisine, and her diligence has also been valued by Japanese bosses. 1998, she was promoted to the front office manager of the restaurant.

By about 200 1, this restaurant has become a well-known restaurant in Changchun, and Sun's diligence and management experience have also been recognized by his peers.

So many other restaurants invited her to work in the past, and some actually offered a commission of 5% of the annual gross profit and a salary of 2000 a month. At that time, her salary was several times different from the generous conditions they offered, but she only had one idea at that time, "I was trained here, but I was not wanted in the store."

Scenario 3: I suffered from SARS when I opened a shop.

By the end of 200 1, the owner of this restaurant began to work abroad, ending the restaurant's business in China, and Sun had to lose his job again.

But at this time, she is different from the unemployed kindergarten teacher five years ago, but an industry expert with rich experience in Japanese restaurant management.

So she went to another Japanese restaurant in Changchun as a manager, but her management style was difficult to integrate with the family-run enterprise, so after more than a month, she resigned and left. Later, she tried several others one after another, and they all encountered the same problem. In that case, why not open a shop and be your own boss? She is cruel and cruel, and she did it herself!

After a short preparation, she borrowed 200,000 yuan from the bank and some money from relatives and friends, and finally opened a Japanese restaurant with a scale of about 160 square meters on June 5, 2002.

With her own management experience and familiarity with the industry, she managed to turn the store into a famous Japanese restaurant in Changchun within one month of opening. According to her idea, the bank loan can be paid off in less than one year.

But maybe fate is deliberately testing her. Just a few months after opening, she encountered the biggest crisis in her career-SARS.

"At that time, there were very few customers every day. Even on weekends, there were very few customers in the store. I lost at least30,000 yuan a month. " Now she recalls the situation during the SARS period and still has deep feelings. At that time, many hotels were basically in a state of bleak operation, and some even disappeared during this period.

In order to quickly reverse this situation, she began to plan to send Japanese box lunches to schools and hospitals. Her efforts helped her again. In the first half of 2003, a professor ordered a box lunch in her shop. In order to let the professor eat the hot box lunch, she specially took a taxi from Tongzhi Street to deliver the box lunch to the professor's house.

At that time, the professor was very moved and publicized her lunch box to her colleagues at school, and the fact that she took a taxi to deliver the lunch box became a well-known story in the industry.

Up to now, many university teachers and professors have made friends with her through lunch boxes and become frequent visitors in her shop.

At the same time, "taking a taxi to send a box lunch" also won her credibility. At that special time, someone still went to her shop for dinner, and she finally got through that difficult period.

Return 1: One answer brings a group of guests.

In June 2003, Sun Changshu started to develop his own Japanese restaurant in one breath. One of the Japanese guests gave her great inspiration.

According to her introduction, in June 2003, a Japanese old man came to the store. Before that, the Japanese old man had been to several restaurants in Changchun, but they all felt unsatisfactory. When someone introduced Sun's Japanese restaurant to the old Japanese, the old man didn't take it seriously at first. When he came to the store, he gave Sun a "duel".

"I'll give you a question. If you can answer, I'll have dinner here. What is the best temperature for sake in Japan? " In Japan, whether a restaurant is authentic or not is measured by sake.

"The most suitable temperature for human body is 37 degrees Celsius." The old Japanese man was very excited when he heard this answer, because the heads of other Japanese restaurants he had visited in Changchun failed to answer this question correctly. After tasting her cooking, the old man gave her the highest and most cordial evaluation. "This is the taste of our hometown (Japan)."

Since then, every time the old man comes to Changchun, he will come to her shop to taste and constantly introduce her restaurant to his friends. With this experience, Sun saw the benefits of service details, and even improved the level of the whole restaurant from service details.

Details are everywhere in her restaurant. As soon as the toothpick box was opened, 16 toothpicks were neatly placed in a square, and the wooden windowsill on the wall was almost wiped without a trace of dust. Sun said that she wears white gloves to check every windowsill every day to ensure cleanliness. "The Japanese pay great attention to the cleanliness of the dining environment, which we can't underestimate." It is through this service that her restaurant has welcomed more customers.

Now, all the 200,000 loans that Sun owed to the bank when he started his business have been paid off, and his personal assets have reached nearly 6,543,800 yuan.

And she also has a bigger goal, to double her store on the existing basis and strive to open it to Japan.

Sun Qiuping's mentality: "It's a big deal to start all over again."

Reporter: Why do you want to start a business in catering?

Sun (hereinafter referred to as "Sun"): In the restaurant where I have worked, many service personnel are related to the boss, and they can't say anything or give orders. At work, I have high requirements for the quality of employees, many people will not adapt, and it is difficult to cooperate with these people. The only way is to choose to leave and open your own shop.

Reporter: Since you have chosen to open your own shop, can you accept the harsh training and management of shop assistants?

Sun: They can't accept it at all. People are lazy. If they don't hurry, they will become lazy. In order to express their opposition to my management style, they once joined forces to "strike" in protest. But I told them that the strict requirements now are not personal. You are a migrant worker now. Without strict training and study, you will only be a migrant worker everywhere. If you can pass my training, you will have a chance to change your destiny wherever you go in the future. As a result, ordinary employees are excellent now.

Reporter: During the SARS period, there were problems in the operation of your restaurant. Have you ever thought about giving up this industry?

Sun: At that time, SARS really hit me hard. I also thought, is it true that you can only be a migrant worker, but not a boss? However, I think my Japanese teacher, who is over 70 years old, can still get the first place in China. A man in his seventies, after several failures, can still work hard and finally succeed. I am much younger than her and have more time than her. As long as I work hard, I should be able to succeed, so I will grit my teeth and start all over again. Facts have proved that I succeeded.

Reporter: In business operation, we pay great attention to the location of the store, but your store did not choose to open in a busy street, but in a small alley. Why do you choose to open a shop in such a place?

Sun: I chose to open Japanese food in such an alley, not to save costs, but to spend all the 6,000 yuan I saved every month on purchasing raw materials of Japanese food to ensure the original flavor of Japanese food. Cooking authentic dishes with authentic ingredients is one of the reasons why my restaurant is so prosperous.

Reporter: Your shop assistants are excellent. Do you have any unique experience in the management of shop assistants?

Sun: In my management, it is very important that "working hours are working hours". I can only have sex with my employees, and the reward and punishment system is extremely strict. At the end of work, employees can put forward what they think is unreasonable on this day and discuss it together. If it makes sense, then listen to his advice in the next work, so that the contradiction between the boss and the clerk formed in the work can be resolved, and the opinions of the employees can be respected, so as to work harder.

The improvement of ability is cumulative, and the breakthrough of mentality is rapid.
