In 2023, everyone is obsessed with "making money" - it seems that only the real amount of bank cards can soothe the hearts of migrant workers. So, this year, it seems that everyone is doing a side hustle, and the business direction is even more varied. Some people set up barbecue sausage stalls, some people opened lottery stations, some people relied on good cooking skills to operate small tables of big factory people, and some people resold chatGPT accounts with poor information.
The end of the year is approaching, and I will tell you some stories about "making money" that I have come into contact with.
[The Didi driver in Shenzhen is really invincible late at night......]
As soon as I got in the car, the driver's brother asked me, "Boss, why are you still working so late?"
Me: "No, no, I have dinner with my friends." ”
Driver: "Boss, what are you doing?"
Me: "Freelance, no, how do you know I'm the boss, big brother?
Driver: "No, I look like you're the boss when you come over, you know it." ”
Me: "Gotta ...... I can't even see that you're exalting me too much, you're the boss, right??Kaididi is actually your side business, isn't it?"
As a result, I was half-joking, and the driver's eldest brother said: "Alas, I work part-time to subsidize some cash flow." ”
Me: "Sure enough...... So what's your main business?"
Driver: "I'm engaged in logistics, which is to transport mobile phone cases and mobile phone accessories to Huizhou and Dongguan." ”
Me: "Is it easy to do logistics?"
Driver: "Where is it good to do, it's hard to die in the past two years, the amount of orders is small, there are few customers, alas, it's a headache to think about, I'll drive Didi, and the money will arrive immediately after the end of your order, and you can only subsidize some cash flow." ”
Me: "Are you driving Didi just for cash flow or something?"
Driver: "Actually, no, I used to do a substitute driver for three months, just to get some information." I would run in Futian at that time, where there were a lot of bosses and luxury cars.
Once, I took the driver, basically looking for a lot of the driver is the boss, those bosses will talk to you about their own business or something, the result is just a boss he needs logistics, I just have a logistics company, add a WeChat, it becomes a single business"
"Do you think the boss is easy to be? People who don't have a boss want to be a boss every day, and people who want to be bosses now just want to work. The person who is the boss does not spend money except sleeping and closing his eyes, as long as he opens his eyes, he has to start spending money. Alas, I'm dead...... I'm going to go home and sleep after I finish your order. ”
【Intercultural Communication College Students】
At the age of 21, he started his own business and is now a senior at the University of Sydney.
I went to Sydney in junior high school, then went to school and communicated in a cross-cultural context, and this year I started to do all kinds of upside-down business.
Pour Japanese liquor to Sydney, and don't do it as a channel, just use the form of a pop-up store, which can sell a wave and sell a wave.
All kinds of new and exotic goods, in the source of a drop ship, what channel you can find you can use directly this channel, and then shoot for a gun,
I have a lot of project-based business, and I am tossing and turning in Japan, China and Sydney.
But this toss requires linguistic fluency, cultural overcoming and crossing racial thresholds and veils.

Second, how women can find their own selves, especially economically and spiritually.
Third, how to deal with the relationship between women and the next generation of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and parent-child, how to deal with these issues.

Who wouldn't want to make money while traveling around the world?
Making money is not an easy task, especially in this era of fierce competition. It tests one's imagination, as well as everyone's resources, environment, cognition, and efforts...... Sometimes, a little luck is needed.
We also want to hear your story of "successfully getting money", no matter how big or small, no matter whether it is easy to copy (it must be legal), as long as you are willing to share, I believe it can also bring some inspiration or hope to other people who want to make money but can't.
