they came from the Ocean University of China. After graduating, they found work repeatedly and re examined themselves, and they decided to start their own business.
after graduating from University, she looked around for a job but repeatedly ran into a wall. Two female college students decided to be their own boss. They have joined a shoemaker shop and have been doing business for two months, much better than expected. In one or two years, it is their dream to open another branch in Linyi.
Liu Cuihuan shoes for customers. On the morning of
27, a young woman was polishing shoes for a customer at the shoe shop in the east section of Ping'an road in the morning. Clean, oiled, processed and polished, only five or six minutes, the customer's shoes will shine again, like brand new. In the shop, the reporter saw another young woman was using the machine to repair shoes.
these two young women are Li Shuaishuai and Liu Cuihuan respectively. They are the 2010 graduates of Ocean University of China and are classmates. Li Shuaishuai is from Tancheng and Liu Cuihuan is from Jining. During the last four years, they ran around for a job. In half a year, they could not remember how many recruitment meetings, how many resumes, and how many interviews, but failed to find a suitable job.
a chance, they come into contact with the shoe polish industry, and find that the industry has a certain market potential, and there is the idea of opening a shoe shop. After a field trip, they decided to open a shoeshine chain store. After two months of training, their shoe shop opened on Ping An Road.
"I thought shoeshine was very simple before, didn't you put shoe polish on it and polish shoes?" Li Shuaishuai said, "when I was training, I realized that shoeshine is actually a technical activity, with technical content. If we want to understand science, we can do a good job in shoeshine."
by virtue of superb technology and excellent service, their shoemaker stores have nearly 100 member customers in the two months after their opening. Besides shoeshine service, they also carried out leather care, leather shoes repair and other services such as leather bags, leather clothing, leather sofa, car seats, etc.
"although we think that we may face many difficulties after opening, business is better than we expected." Liu Cuihuan said, this has further strengthened their confidence in making shoes store bigger and stronger.
"we know that the competition in Linyi shoes industry is fierce, but we are confident that we have to work hard on quality and service. We are planning to use one or two years to open a branch in Linyi, and then let our chain store in Linyi." Li Shuaishuai said.
the person said Li Shuaishuai: it is difficult to find a job, so change the idea
reporter: have you ever thought about the shoe industry that would be completely out of your profession after graduation?
Li Shuaishuai: my college is a liberal arts department. At the beginning of the University, I had always thought that after graduation, we should be engaged in office secretarial work, but we began to find work from the senior four. We found the reality too cruel in the process of finding work.
after many times of finding a job, I reexamine myself, what merits and faults I have, what I am suitable for. After examining the shoe polishing industry, I find that this industry is also promising.
reporter: after you graduate from University, do you feel like polishing shoes for four years?
nowadays, it is a common problem for university students to find jobs. It is better to take advantage of young people than to work hard.
reporter: after four years of University shoeshine, do your parents accept it?
later, my parents helped me look around the shop and finally found the place where the shop was now.
the headquarters, considering that we are college students, gives us part of the franchise, but the fee is not a small number for the students we have just graduated. We didn't have that much money. Our family was very supportive of us and paid a large part of the franchise fee.
the person said Liu Cuihuan: "shoes are not low, we do not regret
reporter: your shoe shop has been running for two months. Have you ever regretted the choice of the original?"
Liu Cuihuan: there may be a lot of people who think that shoes are a very low profession. In fact, we don't think so, no matter what industry we are engaged in, as long as we can prove their value, it is enough to use their own hands and wisdom to pursue happiness. This is enough, no industry is low. Since our shop opened two months ago, some of our classmates have visited our shop. They are very impressed by our entrepreneurial spirit. Especially when we see our business is good, some students want to join us in starting a business, which makes us happy. It also shows that our choice is right.
now, there are only two of us in our store. We have to shine shoes for our customers. Our shoe shop is developing in the ideal direction. When we make a lot of money, we plan to open a few more branches. By then, our cause is big. We can make full use of our knowledge to manage our cause and develop our cause.
in fact, many college graduates are the same as we were. It's wrong to have a low, high aim and do not want to do it step by step. It is better to return to the net than to retire from the fish. Fish can't wait, but our youth can't afford it. Now we have taken the first step. We firmly believe that we will go wider and wider in the way of starting a business.
