Background: I started working for Walmart in 2019. At the beginning, I was alone in one store. No one in the company knew how to do it. I relied on my thick skin to ask for some knowledge from big brothers in the group. After half a year of licking and groping, I achieved a daily sales of about 3,000. Then I added people to lead the team. At the end of 2019, I basically achieved a daily sales of over 10,000. At the end of 2020, I changed jobs and started to build a team again. In 2021, the team achieved a monthly sales of one million. Then in August and September, some friends around me suddenly wanted to start their own businesses. I couldn't resist the temptation of driving a luxury car and living in a club (crossed out) and my life dream, so I resolutely resigned and went it alone.
Preparation: Wayfair was very popular at that time, so I bought another Wayfair account to start cloud warehouse together. It was a smart decision (crossed out). The account fee added up to more than 30,000 yuan. Some people may ask why I didn’t do JD.com or Walmart when I was so poor. To be honest, I did it, but I was not comfortable doing it and felt that it would affect my wealth, so I gritted my teeth and bought American SC. At this time, I only had about 100,000 yuan left, and I had to pay for the monthly rent of about 3,000+ yuan and the monthly repayment of 4,000+ yuan.
Product selection: With my poverty, I came up with a great idea to save costs, which is that I don’t stock up, but only sell products from Huaqiangbei. So I asked the companies whose addresses on 1688 were Shenzhen for products I thought were good if they had stalls in Huaqiangbei. And with my good looks (crossed out), I found two or three companies that were willing to give me product photos first and let me place an order before I could get the bulk goods. So I found several 3C products (related to computer peripherals) with good prices and profit markets from these companies as the main force, and from the high-profit categories, with my unique experience in product selection (no matter how effective it is, it must look valuable) I selected a few products as profit supplements.
Operation: With my skilled operation (direct review, order brushing, price reduction, Black Friday traffic, and good luck), the daily sales during Black Friday were close to 3,000 US dollars. What was my status at this time? I got up at 10:30 in the morning, took a shower, checked the orders, communicated with the stall owner, went to Huaqiangbei, picked up the goods, ate, went home, packed, and waited for the driver to pick up. Before 4:30 in the afternoon, I checked and made up for the gaps, then got off work, lay on the sofa, read novels, made dinner, waited for my girlfriend to come back to eat together, and went to sleep. The takeaway lunch was not less than 30 yuan, and I had at least two cups of milk tea a day, otherwise I felt that I was not worthy of my hard work. It was true. I weighed myself two days ago and found that I had gained 6 or 7 pounds in three months.
Ending: Love is more like a tornado than love, which is bad luck. It hits my face without any greeting. Because I didn’t have money to ship to overseas warehouses, I originally planned to ship to overseas warehouses. I contacted overseas warehouses and packed two or three products (one type only had 20 or 30 pieces). I fell into deep thought and took out Excel to carefully calculate the cost of shipping to overseas warehouses. I quietly unpacked the packaged products. Unfortunately, I also bought five rolls of label paper to print the barcodes for overseas warehouses. To be honest, I didn’t expect that I could make it. I originally thought that I could make 20,000 yuan a month, which is the same as my salary. At least I don’t have to get up early to go to work, and I would be lucky. But starting from November, the number of orders increased day by day. As a result, all the goods that I picked up through the two self-delivery channels (to diversify risks) from the 23rd and 24th were stuck in USPS waiting to be picked up (diversified in vain). I was happy to see the increasing orders every day, but worried about logistics all night long. Ten days later, when the payment was about to be received, I had already booked a flight to the Maldives, I had already thought about how to be low-key when visiting relatives during the New Year, I had already added the LV for my girlfriend to the shopping cart, I saw the new Luster model from BMW and had already picked the color, but three days before the payment was due, my account was gone (there was about 100,000 yuan waiting to be received).
Ending: If nothing unexpected happened, I would definitely be in debt, so more than three years after I graduated, I asked my family for money again. It was like returning to college in my dream. After the death, I didn’t feel much, but I was speechless. I charged too much for shipping, and I still had 1,000 or 2,000 left, but I thought about it and thought that my account was gone, so I was too lazy to ask if I could withdraw cash, anyway, I guess I couldn’t.
Current situation: I have joined a new company. I am quite happy, but quite lazy. I have interviewed with so many companies that I can't even count them on one hand. I am quite surprised that all the bosses don't mind my slightly funny entrepreneurial experience. The highest base salary offered is 25K. After comprehensive consideration, I chose another company with a slightly lower base salary, but the company gives people a very good impression. Here I would like to share my personal experience in choosing a company: I must find a boss with money, I must find a boss with money, I must find a boss with money. I don't mean the kind of people who have made money through personal struggle. It is best to be rich and handsome and have money naturally. Believe me, you won't suffer any loss.
