The life of Liu's characters

While many college students are worried about finding jobs after leaving school, Liu was the president of three big companies before leaving school. His inheritance was not inherited from his parents, nor was it given by God. He created it all himself. His career keeps pace with his college studies, and his success is envied by his classmates. How on earth did he learn to start a business and become a rich man from campus? He just graduated last year, and when interviewed by reporters, he still described every step he had taken as bluntly as he did when he was a student.

Selling grapes and digging "the first bucket of gold"

Liu's success has a lot to do with the environment in which he lived as a child. Since he was a child, he has developed an indomitable character of self-improvement in adversity.

In February, Liu was born in a small village in Jinggangshan, an old revolutionary base area. In order to change the difficult living environment, his father went to Shanghai Liu to do small business when he was very young. In order to give his children a good education, his father later moved his family to Shanghai, when Liu Gang was in the third grade of primary school. Liu is a foreigner, transferred from the countryside, unable to keep up with his academic performance, and often bullied by his classmates. Stubborn Liu doesn't want to stand it. Before a class meeting, he asked the teacher to chair the class meeting. At the meeting, Liu Qi cried and said, "I know everyone looks down on me. I have poor academic performance and am a foreigner. If you look down on me because of these two points, just hear me out. You can't look down on me anymore. First, I must get into the top five in my class, and I can't lag behind you in academic performance. Second, I tell you that most people who are living well in Shanghai now are from other places. Maybe even your parents or grandparents came from other places before. If you look down on me for this, you look down on your parents. " The students below are very quiet. They didn't expect this scrawny Jiangxi ya to have such great courage and determination.

In the final exam three months later, Liu Qi got the third place in the school district. Those students dare not look down on this stubborn and unyielding international student any more. This incident also made Liu realize that when encountering problems, he must face them squarely and solve them bravely and decisively.

Liu Ye is different, that is, he has an economic mind since childhood. In the fifth grade of primary school, he was already a mature "little housekeeper". At that time, the monthly income of my father's small business, except his own expenses, was given to Liu for safekeeping, and even the monthly living expenses of his brothers and sisters who worked outside the home were given to Liu.

Perhaps it is "the master knows that rice is expensive." Liu knew from an early age to find opportunities to help his family make money. One day in the summer vacation of the second day of junior high school, Liu saw his neighbor and son go to the orchard to wholesale grapes, and then go to towns and villages dozens of kilometers away to sell them. He urged people to take him with them. For the first time, he wholesaled 30 Jin of grapes and took them to town by bike. Strangely enough, 30 Jin of grapes planted by Liu earned more money than 50 Jin planted by others. The neighbor's father and son no longer let Liu go with them. Who knows that the next day, Liu got up earlier, arrived at the orchard two hours in advance, wholesaled 60 Jin of grapes, and groped to sell them in the city, which not only made the grapes fresh, but also took the lead and occupied a good position. On this day, he made another fortune. He became more and more out of control after he tasted the sweetness. This summer vacation, the grape business made Liu earn thousands of dollars, and this "first bucket of gold" remained after he paid the tuition.

Working during holidays to earn money

200 1, Liu was admitted to Chongqing university of technology. During his four years in college, he faced the tuition fee of 4,000 yuan/year, the accommodation fee of 65,438 yuan+0,200 yuan/year, the book fee of 500 yuan/year and the necessary living expenses every month. And the family can't get together enough, so he can only find a way by himself.

From the first day of college, I began to wonder how to make money while studying. His major is marketing. On his first winter vacation in college, he didn't go home, but stayed in Chongqing to do part-time market research. During the summer vacation, he walked in the streets of Nanchang under the scorching sun in July, selling motorcycle silencers.

During the winter vacation of junior year, Liu Qi went to work in a foreign trade company in Pudong. At first, the company only arranged for him to do chores: typing, copying materials, paying money at the bank and delivering documents outside.

These jobs are trivial, and all the students who work here with him feel boring. Liu, on the other hand, regards everything he does as an opportunity to learn and practice. He reads a lot of books on foreign trade in his spare time and "secretly" learns a lot of business methods from old employees.

Later, he also asked to do trade in the company. The company gave him the most difficult steel pipe foreign trade. With long-term thinking and preparation, he immediately took action: looking for international manufacturers who may need steel pipes online, and then asking each other whether they need steel pipes by email. After repeatedly sending more than 10,000 emails, a company in Singapore extended an olive branch to this distant young man. When the business started, he took a commission of more than three thousand yuan at a time. He hopes to have more opportunities.

After working in a foreign trade company in Shanghai for two months, Liu decided to set up his own trading company.

However, the registered company must first solve the problems of capital and import and export rights. After careful consideration, Liu feels that it may be easier to do this by working directly with foreigners. So, he first targeted the foreign bank executives in Shanghai.

Liu Qi came to the headquarters of HSBC in China. After many twists and turns, he finally met the manager of the bank But he was greeted with puzzled and contemptuous eyes. Liu made a brief self-introduction in English, and then made a statement about the plan. The manager tried to interrupt Liu several times and ask something, but he didn't give him a chance. When he finished reading the first page, he spoke quickly. He finished what he had planned to finish in an hour in 20 minutes. When Liu finally fell to the ground, the manager and he both looked at each other a little. The manager thought it was strange. A student-like person talked to himself for 20 minutes here, but he didn't admit the reason. Maybe he wanted to find out Liu's purpose, and then they talked for four hours. Finally, when Liu left the bank, he had received a million dollars investment from the bank. Since then, he has also accepted the services of another bank.

A student can get investment services from two foreign banks. Liu said: "I am lucky, but I only won their approval with a direct and sincere attitude and a detailed and thorough business plan."

In that year, Liu Qi, a senior, cooperated with others and raised 6,543,800 yuan to establish Tyco Co Co., Ltd. as the chairman and president. The company is mainly engaged in the international trade of steel pipes. Because of his working experience in foreign trade companies and his unremitting efforts, several factories soon invited Liu to be their general agent for foreign trade. Shortly thereafter, Liu signed orders for millions of dollars from several factories.

In less than a year, Liu's products have been exported to more than a dozen countries and regions such as the United States, Argentina, Britain, South Africa, Egypt, Iran and South Korea.

Still insist on the simplicity and sincerity of students.

Foreign trade business is booming, but Liu is not satisfied and is still looking for opportunities. He found that Chongqing, where the university is located, is laying the third domestic optical cable in line with the world except Shanghai and Guangzhou. Liu thinks the opportunity has come-the Internet, and he wants to occupy this position. After repeated thinking and market research, Liu decided to start with the establishment of college students' own portal website!

In May 2005, Liu Chengli Chongqing Netna Technology Co., Ltd. opened the "Scholar" portal. With sufficient funds, talents quickly gathered under the banner of Liu, and these young people tried to become real "network heroes" in the new era in their own unique way.

It seems that two companies are not busy enough. In September 2005, Liu opened the first direct jewelry store in Chongqing-"Seoul Romance", which specializes in Korean jewelry. All accessories are from abroad, to ensure that the first time to keep up with fashion trends. Today, this "unprofitable" jewelry store has several franchise stores.

Liu now runs three companies at the same time. However, behind those shining auras, Liu Yiran maintained the simplicity and sincerity of the students. He still often goes back to school to read books and chat with classmates. Because of this, some students nicknamed him "forever brother".

Liu Qi saw many students struggling for employment at school. He said with deep feelings, "In fact, I sympathize with them, but I hope they can do something. Students who want to start a business must first ask themselves, what do I have, what do I want, and how do I do it. "

"What kind of image should people in the 1980s have in your eyes?" Liu Kaiqi repeated the reporter's question word by word, as if a little embarrassed: "This is not easy to evaluate. How should we evaluate ourselves? We are still growing. If I have to give an evaluation, it is that we are growing freely without image. "

At present, he is the general manager of Tyco Co Ltd. and a partner of Zhiji Venture Capital Co., Ltd., serving as a business consultant for CCTV2 and Tsinghua University, and was awarded "National Excellent Entrepreneurship Talent" by the State Council, People's Republic of China (PRC) (China).
