Foreign employees abandon 200 thousand annual salary to return to the countryside to sell cold skin: housing prices are too high in big cities
director of the world's top 500 foreign business department The annual salary is more than 20 yuan, only on business trips, only five stars. But in May, the 27 year old Zhuang decided to resign and leave Shanghai. With his postgraduate diploma from Xi'an Jiao Tong University, he stood at the alley of the golden water road opposite his alma mater and started a new life -- selling cold skin.
at the intersection of Jinshui Road, South Gate of Xi'an Jiao Tong University, a cool leather booth called "Xiaozhuang brother" attracted the attention of Mr. Zhang. It has only a rusty tricycle, a board, a sunshade, a table, 4 stool stall, but the owner of a "good spoken English".
Mr. Zhang told others that the owner of this cold noodle stand is a master's degree from Xi'an Jiao Tong University.
at 12 noon yesterday, "Xiao Zhuang's brother" stands at the crossroads as usual. Vendors near the stall said the booth was not long at this time. It is lunchtime, within 1 hours, "Xiaozhuang brother" cool stand sells 17 bowls of cold leather, 5 yuan per bowl. After catching up with customers for a long time, the table and stool were obviously inadequate, so the boss had to turn to the next booth. Cool the skin, deliver the meal, and tidy the tableware... Only two people are busy working on the cool stand. "Zhuang Dong", one named Zhuang Nan, is a brother. Zhuang Nan is two years younger than his brother Zhuang Dong.
"many of the people who came to visit were my teachers and younger sisters. They used to call me Xiaozhuang brother in school, and now my name is also in my cooler stand." Booth owner Zhuang Dong said he graduated from Xi'an Jiao Tong University in 2012 with a master's degree in material science and engineering, and graduated from the University for three years. Brother Zhuang Nan graduated from the mechanical specialty of Xi'an Technological University.
afterwards, the Chinese business reporter verified the diploma of two people respectively.
foreign boss: he walked away. I think it's a pity that it's a pity
Zhuang Dong said that he was able to go to any domestic university other than Tsinghua University in the college entrance examination. He chose to read in Xi'an Jiao Tong University, and the direction of his master's study was about the research on the application of nuclear energy, but after graduate school, he was a graduate. Chose a world top 500 enterprise engaged in daily chemical industry.
9 16, at the WeChat public of the graduate student association of Xi'an Jiao Tong University, published an article "selling cold skin to tell you how to get into the world's top 500". It tells how Zhuang Dong was applied to the foreign enterprise before and after graduation. Zhuang Dong said he had passed the English class six test in the fourth grade and was prepared to go abroad many times, but because his family was in the countryside of Baoji, his parents earned a little income by planting kiwi fruit. In order not to add to the burden of his family, he gave up going abroad, finally in the selection of nearly a thousand people, through a number of Chinese and English interviews, successfully entered the foreign enterprise, work in Shanghai. Zhuang Dong said that before leaving, he had become head of the company's production department with an annual salary of more than 20 yuan. At the same time, he also enjoys the treatment of some world-class enterprise employees who only travel on a business trip, only five star hotels, and occasionally have the opportunity to travel to the United States, Europe, Japan and other places. "Before the resignation, our department leaders would like to promote me again." Zhuang Dong said that at this time, an entrepreneurial idea drove him to leave Shanghai.
Mr. Zhuang Dong, his former boss, confirmed his statement. "I kept him on many occasions, but his entrepreneurial ideas were mature and determined, and I did not want to delay his future. In fact, he walked, I felt very bad personally."
girlfriend support: entrepreneurial ability to have a sense of security
Zhuang Dong said, he has been doing career planning at the undergraduate level: advanced large enterprises for 3 years, and then go to small businesses for 3 years, after that, choose to start a business. He saw that his thoughts were put into practice by others and achieved good results. He did not want to miss any more opportunities.
Zhuang Dong said that if he stayed in a foreign company, he would continue to raise and raise his salary, but the high prices in Shanghai would not make him see the future. "Even if I pay 300 thousand, it's hard to buy suites and live dignity in Shanghai." His parents' income was only thirty thousand or forty thousand yuan a year, and only one of the two brothers was forced to pay a first payment in Xi'an, and both of the brothers were reluctant to let their parents pay. Coupled with the fact that parents are relatively young now, they are not so stressed. Zhuang Dong believes that we must seize the opportunity to start a business. "I want to try it, or else, I'm sorry about myself."
Zhuang Tong raised more than 30 yuan and began to start a business. The project he chose was to sell cold skin. Because some of his relatives are in the cold business, he has developed his own formula. My brother has worked in many world-class fast food chains, and is also participating in this project. But apart from his girlfriend's support, his parents, former leaders and classmates did not understand his behavior.
Zhuang's girlfriend Xiao Zhu said that in the enterprise work, is always to work for others, it is likely that a mistake will ruin the future. Only by starting a business can she have enough sense of security, so she supports her boyfriend's decision.
entrepreneurial feeling: "I feel tired to work, now really is working hard to spell"
5 a.m. a day, Zhuang Dong by bus will take more than 40 Jin of cold skin from the residence Dazhai road to Jiaotong, 12 at noon, 7 hours later, after a night market for more than 3 hours. More than 20 days of operation, every night is close to the early hours to get home. "It just felt tired at work, but now it's really working hard, and it's nearly 1000 yuan a day."
Zhuang Dong said, when the shop talks about it, he won't stand up again, and the store is only a small part of his entire business plan. "According to our previous plan, about three months later, the basic layout can have a prototype, and now it's a business secret." Prior to the success of the Internet restaurant brand named "West young master steamed bun", which was founded by Xi'an Jiao Tong University graduates, Zhuang Dong said his idea must be different from the former. "At that time, everyone will know how I use the Internet to change the cold skin."
