Peninsula all-media reporter Zhang Changwei
On the afternoon of April 19, the reporter just walked into the hall on the first floor of the Xiangdong Community Party and Mass Service Center, Xiangtan Road Street, Licang District, Qingdao, and smelled the fragrance of flowers. Turning his head to the right, there are rows of neatly arranged flowers, which is the minimally invasive space provided by the Xiangdong Community "Enjoy Home" Leye Service Station for Zhang Xueli, a post-85 mother.
In the southeast corner of the hall on the first floor of the Xiangdong Community Party and Mass Service Center, there is Zhang Xueli's flower shop.
At the end of last year, Qingdao issued a document to launch a three-year action plan for "community micro-industry", proposing to build a community employment station, improve community employment services, create a community minimally invasive space, and support "micro-entrepreneurship". A number of "Enjoy Home" service stations in the city have come into being, and some communities have also created "community minimally invasive spaces" to provide low-cost venues for residents in the community who need to start their own businesses and support start-ups. Among them, the Xiangdong community is an early starter.
On April 19, the reporter came to Xiangdong Community to visit the "Community Minimally Invasive Space" here to see what support the community can provide to the start-ups, and what the minimally invasive project can bring to the community residents.
The venue is free of water and electricity, and Bao Ma opens a flower shop in the community center
Zhang Xueli's flower shop is on the right side of the entrance on the first floor of the community party and mass service center, more than 10 square meters, and a workbench is arranged in the middle, and Zhang Xueli prunes and makes bouquets on the workbench on the spot. Most of the shops are common flowers such as lilies and roses, and the variety is not much, and the prices are relatively low. "For example, if a cappuccino rose sells for 15 yuan outside, let's get five or six yuan, and I can make a little profit. Zhang Xueli said that because the price of the flowers she sells is lower than the market, it has been recognized by the surrounding residents, and whoever wants to put some flowers at home will come to her to buy them.

Zhang Xueli told reporters that she was originally a practitioner in the tourism industry, with relatively free working hours and a good income, but later lost her job due to the impact of the epidemic. Her husband, who also worked in the tourism industry, was facing a difficult transition at the time. The current situation of the family made Zhang Xueli anxious to find a way out. Since May 2020, Zhang Xueli has learned floral skills and started her floral entrepreneurship journey in her basement. Every day she prunes and packs flowers into bouquets in the basement, and goes to the night market to set up a stall to sell flowers at night. In November 2020, the minimally invasive space in Xiangdong Community provided Zhang Xueli with a place to operate, and no rent, water and electricity bills were charged.
"All the costs are no, it's for my convenience. Zhang Xueli said that not only is there no cost, but the location is also very good. On weekdays, when residents go to the activity rooms on the second and third floors to participate in activities, they all pass by her flower shop, and there is a lot of traffic, "This is equivalent to giving me a free advertisement, so I don't have to go out to do more publicity." ”
"I usually send messages in the community's WeChat group, and I have also built two WeChat groups. When the community holds outdoor events such as the Star Bazaar, they also go to participate. Now that there is a venue, it can be done online and offline, and the business situation is okay. Zhang Xueli earns two or three thousand yuan a month by selling flowers. "My pocket money and my children are enough. ”

"I just thought that I would be quite satisfied if I could have a job, a career of my own, and a little income while taking care of my children. Zhang Xueli said. Starting a flower shop, Zhang Xueli took into account that she had to take care of her six-and-a-half-year-old daughter every day to study and live. Zhang Xueli's parents and in-laws have no energy to take care of their children, her husband is busy with work, and her daughter is taken care of by her. "From Monday to Friday, I drop my child off at school before 8 a.m., pick him up at 4 p.m., don't have classes on Wednesday afternoon, and have weekends off, so I have to accompany my child. Due to time constraints, Zhang Xueli did not look for a full-time job, but chose to start a business. "The minimally invasive spaces provided by the community have helped me a lot. ”
Recently, Zhang Xueli operated the Douyin account "Qingdao Weimei Flower Shop", planning to do live broadcasts, and launched platforms such as Douyin "Hourda", Meituan Takeaway, and Ele.me Takeaway to do delivery within 5 kilometers. "It's usually close, so I rode an electric car to deliver it, which is also convenient. One is to save delivery fees, and the other is to save time. ”
"Life closes a door to you, it will open a window for you, as long as you are willing to try, there are always more solutions than problems. It was as if I could see the sunlight outside the crack in the window. Zhang Xueli wrote in the WeChat circle of friends.
A tailor shop was opened in the community folklore hall
The young people in the Xiangdong community call 60-year-old Feng Xiaoping Uncle Feng. Two years ago, Uncle Feng opened a tailor shop in the corner of the Folk Customs Museum of the Community Party and Mass Service Center, called "Hemei Xiangdong Clothes and Decorations" studio, to provide residents with small repairs and convenient services, so that residents can repair clothes without leaving the community.
Uncle Feng is repairing clothes.
Previously, some community residents reported that they could not find a place for minor repairs. Xiangdong Community is located in the north of Licang District, and some residents have to go to Li Village for this reason, which is really inconvenient. Through daily contact, the Party Committee of Xiangdong Community learned about Uncle Feng's expertise in repairing clothes before retirement, so he considered adding a tailor shop to solve the problems for residents. When Uncle Feng heard this, he hit it off with the community. Uncle Feng worked in Qingdao No. 3 Knitting Factory in his early years, engaged in cutting, production, outsourcing processing and other work, and later opened a factory, with professional skills as a sewing worker, and was also enthusiastic to participate in various volunteer services.
"There's a corner here, so it's okay to make things easier for everyone. The community communicated with me, and I have this craft, a specialty, which just enriches and makes use of the venue of the Folklore Museum. There are many residents who want to repair their trouser legs, some who are in a hurry to repair their clothes and can't find a suitable place temporarily, and there are elderly people who are inconvenient to go out to repair, and they all find me. Uncle Feng said.
Tailor shops operate on a combination of low prices and free of charge. Here, the corners of the trousers, the cuffs, and the hem of the shirt are only seven or eight yuan / piece, the price is far lower than the market price, and only the cost and cost of the community residents are charged, and the five groups such as the families of martyrs, disabled soldiers, lonely and widowed elderly, disabled children, and extremely poor families are directly free of charge, and community volunteers can also exchange points for services.
Uncle Feng's tailor shop "and Mei Xiangdong, worry-free clothing"
"When a resident comes and wants to punch a belt, give him a free hole. Some residents also came to repair the zipper if it was not easy to use. There is no charge for small repairs like this. "On weekdays, from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., from 2 p.m. to 3:20 p.m., Uncle Feng is basically in the tailor shop, and during the daily time, Uncle Feng and the residents use WeChat groups to communicate, and there are more than 800 residents in the two WeChat groups he built to communicate with minor repairs, "There are WeChat groups, you can also call me, sometimes, festivals or residents participate in major activities, there is urgency, I work overtime at night to make it." ”
In order to run this tailor shop well, Uncle Feng brought the sewing equipment when he opened the factory before, including sewing machines, sewing threads, buttons, elastic bands, velcro and other utensils. The neighbors who found Uncle Feng to modify his clothes also praised him for his superb craftsmanship.
"Don't be kind and small", "Pass on love, let your heart be happy", the slogans posted in the tailor's shop space can see Uncle Feng's original intention. Uncle Feng and his wife have a pension, which is enough for the daily expenses of the old couple. In Uncle Feng's view, the original intention of running this tailor shop was to give full play to the residual heat. "Do what I love to do, do something for everyone, and provide something for everyone. Based on this space, it is very happy to be a check-in place, and the neighbors bring their feet to play. ”

It not only helps to start a business, but also facilitates residents
Since there is a tailor shop in the community, residents no longer have to go out of the community to change their clothes. While the residents waited for Uncle Feng to change his clothes, they could also drink tea and chat in the folk museum. Zhang Xueli's flower shop is also recognized by the surrounding residents because of its affordable price, and anyone who wants to put some flowers at home will come to her.
Residents will have points for volunteering in the community, and they can also use the points to exchange for flowers at Zhang Xueli's flower shop, or for minor repairs and repairs at Uncle Feng's tailor shop...... "My side is one yuan for one point, for example, two points for a rose, you can exchange two points for a rose." There are points to buy bouquets for 20% off. Because I don't have rent, water and electricity costs, the price itself is very low, and I will get a 20% discount on the low price. Zhang Xueli said.
It is understood that there are many young people in the Xiangdong community, and many of them have entrepreneurial needs. "The community minimally invasive space provides entrepreneurial support and counseling for start-ups by providing a place to start a business, reducing rent, and inviting entrepreneurial mentors to teach. The relevant person in charge of the Xiangdong community said.
"The community minimally invasive space is a concrete embodiment of the 'community micro-industry' action to penetrate the human resources and social security policies and services to the grassroots level. In the process of implementing the action, each community also has its own characteristics, such as Xiangdong community, which is mainly reflected in the residents' services, which not only supports micro-entrepreneurship, but also facilitates the clothing, food, housing and transportation of residents. Each community has its own form of 'community micro-business' according to its different characteristics. We want to build 'one street, one brand' and 'one community, one characteristic'. Song Shan, head of the Employment Service Section of the Licang District Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, introduced.
It is understood that at present, the city has built 154 "enjoy home" service stations, of which 31 have been built in Licang District. In the next step, the Qingdao Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Department will continue to promote the construction of the "Enjoy Home" service station, further improve the service network, sink the service force, innovate the service model, promote the public employment service to the grassroots level, improve quality and efficiency, so that more employment services can better benefit the people, so that the masses have a way to find employment and start a business, have channels for skill improvement, and have a happy life, so as to help achieve high-quality and full employment at the "doorstep".
