Yu Gang's dream when he started his business.

Change people's lifestyles. Provide many benefits and conveniences for the public, so that they can stay at home and enjoy the new era and new lifestyle.

The secret of Yu Gang's success in starting a business.

1. Entrepreneurship is a marathon, not a 100-meter sprint. Don't rush for success;

2. Entrepreneurship should face difficulties, and things that are easy to do are easy to be copied and lack value;

3. Entrepreneurship needs passion. Passion can stimulate creativity and make the impossible possible.

Entrepreneurship is a marathon, not a 100-meter sprint. Don't rush for success.

The biggest harm of treating entrepreneurship as a 100-meter sprint is that it ignores the instillation of the cornerstone of entrepreneurial success, including the creation of corporate culture, the creation of core competitiveness and the protection of intellectual property rights. And even the setting of organizational structure and the design of system architecture. Without a solid foundation, haste makes waste, and the early rapidity leads to the rapid arrival of bottlenecks and even entrepreneurial abortion.

Entrepreneurship must face difficulties, and things that are easy to do are easy to be copied and lack value.

It is extremely important to choose what to do when starting a business. Too simple a business model must have been thought of by others. If there is no business model in the market, it must be that there is something wrong with the business model itself or it is particularly difficult to implement. Even if you come up with an easy concept first, if it is of great value, it will be copied by others immediately, such as Groupon group buying model.

Only in the face of difficulties can we create greater value, but we should follow an old saying of China: If there is no Jin Gangzuan, don't engage in porcelain work. Not everyone can prove Goldbach's conjecture Yu Gang believes that the following conditions should be met to deal with difficulties:

1. Clearly understand the difficulties; 2. Have the core competitiveness, methods and tools to overcome difficulties; 3. Be persistent.

Partners Liu Junling and Yu Gang chose a hard road when they founded Store 1, starting from a comprehensive online supermarket with a wide variety of fast-moving consumer goods. They feel that the concept of online supermarket is intuitive, easily accepted by customers and meets the needs of the public. The cost of obtaining customers will be very low, and the customer will be very sticky. However, such goods are bulky, heavy, easy to leak, fragile and have a short shelf life, which is far shorter than the service radius of books, digital products and clothing products. After careful analysis, they found that the most difficult thing for FMCG e-commerce is supply chain management, and we have many years of experience, knowledge and management ability in this area. Therefore, we have invested a lot of money in the construction of supply chain management system, making supply chain management our core competitiveness.

Entrepreneurship needs passion. Passion can stimulate creativity and make the impossible possible.

Passion makes impossible possible. In English, passion refers to a strong internal driving force, an extreme love and a paranoid belief. Under the control of passion, people can often mobilize the great potential of body and mind and accomplish seemingly impossible things.

Starting a business depends on your career and purpose. Do you want to escape from the shackles of the workplace and the glass ceiling to test your ability and potential? Do you want to try your luck, maybe you will succeed? Are you pursuing fashion, or are you seduced by the success of other entrepreneurs? Is it to enjoy this bumpy journey and add rich experiences to your life? Do what you want to do to realize your dream? Can make the impossible possible.

Yu Gang hopes that our career is the latter, because entrepreneurship is very risky. Before 10, the survival rate of start-ups was 2%, not to mention the success rate. The first few reasons can't make you endure the suffering of loneliness, and it won't make you have a firm belief to open the way and meet the bridge.

Ling Jun and Yu Gang founded the 1 store with this passion. They resigned from Dell's expatriate executives, moved out of the mansion rented by Dell, and began to experience the bits and pieces of entrepreneurship. In a 10 square meter office, we sat face to face at our desks, discussing and writing business plans for more than four months. Name the company, design the LOGO, advertise on the recruitment website, squeeze the bus and subway to visit suppliers and participate in the system design; Warehousing, putting on shelves, picking goods and taking stock; Deliver goods to customers and do customer service; Negotiate with suppliers, distributors and promoters; Promotional selection, advertising words; Wait a minute.

Yu Gang wakes up every morning and is eager to go to work in the office. I am full of energy every day. ?

Passion sublimates their creativity and makes them feel when they encounter difficulties? Cross the ocean to show your true colors as a hero? . What you are looking for is your passion.

Entrepreneurship needs passion, and passion can stimulate creativity.
