1. At the beginning of their acquaintance, the two struggled to survive in the city
When they first got married, Wen Juan and Da Hu lived a small life. Dahu works as a driver in a private company for a meager salary. Wen Juan worked hard in the factory. The two lived in a small room in the city and lived a poor life.
In order to take care of her 8-month-old child, Wenjuan chose to quit her job and become a stay-at-home mother. She is at home with her children during the day, and in order to subsidize the family, Wenjuan often sits on the roadside and sets up stalls to sell fruits and eggs.
When the weather is bad, it is difficult for roadside businesses to survive. Wen Juan was exhausted at that time, and it was not uncommon for the vendors to be confiscated from the scales.
Dahu earns a thousand yuan a month, and renting and eating are problems. The medical expenses for the child's cold and illness alone cost him half a month's salary. What worries Wen Juan even more is that if the landlord no longer helps to pick up the children, she will not be able to keep her job.
Seeing Wen Juan working so hard, Dahu felt very uncomfortable. He often thinks about ways to make more money, and he also wants to take Wenjuan to do business together and get out of the current predicament.
Finally, an opportunity came - the boss of the big tiger wanted to transfer the store, and he decided to take advantage of it to change the fate of the two.
2. Borrow money to start a business and scrape together to raise funds
Hearing that the boss was going to transfer the store, Wenjuan Dahu was very moved. Being able to be your own boss gives me free time and makes it easier to take care of my children. But the transfer fee is expensive, except for the inventory, even the annual rent has to be paid in one lump sum, which is an astronomical amount for them.
Together, the two of them have far less capital for their start-ups. Wen Juan couldn't sleep at night, thinking about where to borrow money. She and Dahu went their separate ways, but her relatives and friends had all kinds of difficulties, and the funds she could make up were very limited.
When she saw the amount in the passbook, Wen Juan's eyes were red, and she was reluctant to take out her only wedding ring to sell. In the end, for the sake of the child, Wen Juan gritted her teeth and sold this precious gift.
Some relatives didn't understand Wen Juan's idea of starting a business, and felt that she should keep to herself and not act rashly. Some people even ridiculed her in person, not qualified to be a boss. Wen Juan was also aggrieved, but for the sake of her ideals, she could only swallow her anger.
Fortunately, the boss saw that they were working so hard, and as a guarantee, let them owe the balance first and pay it off slowly. After patchwork together, Wen Juan and Dahu finally scraped together enough start-up capital to start their own small business.
Third, it is difficult to start a business, and Wenjuan lives a simple life
In the first few years of entrepreneurship, Wenjuan and Dahu had a hard time. Starting from scratch, they built a customer base from scratch and had a slower start in business. Wen Juan frantically reads the manuals of various models of machines every day while the children are sleeping, so as to familiarize themselves with product knowledge.
She hopes to fully grasp the structure of the model's accessories and better answer questions for users.
In the beginning, families on both sides were not optimistic about them. Wen Juan's mother even ridiculed her in person for her lack of entrepreneurial ability. Wen Juan felt aggrieved, but in order to save money and accumulate strength, she could only swallow her anger.
In the first year, Wen Juan and Dahu's family of three lived very poorly, and they didn't even dare to buy a new line. Every time she goes home during the holidays, Wen Juan doesn't deserve to wear jewelry, she just finds a simple and clean dress to wear.
Fortunately, the husband and wife work tirelessly to serve every customer. The volume of business gradually increased, and the reputation slowly spread. Finally, in less than a year and a half, Wen Juan successfully paid off all the entrepreneurial arrears and paid the next year's store rent in advance.
Fourth, the career is successful, and the two are already well-off
After a few years of hard work, Wen Juan's business has become more and more prosperous, and the spare parts in the warehouse have become more and more powerful. They used their savings to buy two properties and a few cars. Wen Juan and Da Hu's economic power has grown day by day.
Seeing that they were living a wealthy life, relatives and friends began to secretly inquire about the financial resources of the two. But over the years, Wen Juan has been living a low-key life and never showing people. Every time she asks about the situation of starting a business, she deliberately sighs that it is difficult to do business, and she owes debts to the bank.
This leaves her friends without much speculation about her true wealth.
Later, relatives often asked Wen Juan to help with money, and she would not resist. But Wen Juan is very good at measuring her financial strength, and only gives appropriate funding every time, which does not hurt herself and can maintain her feelings.
Over the years, Wenjuan and Dahu have become well-off families in the local area. Wen Juan used this experience to tell people that keeping a low profile in life is the most important thing.
