Being in a motorway service area is supposed to be just a short stop. But the recent practice of a man in Qingdao has made this an unexpected entrepreneurial stage.
According to reports, with a cart of watermelons, he earned 1,800 yuan from traffic in the service area in just one hour. This operation immediately sparked heated discussions on the Internet, and some netizens questioned the suspected illegal operation.
On closer inspection, although this man's approach was violent and somewhat improvised, it also captured the two key factors of time and place.
The large number of traffic on the highway provides a certain customer source guarantee for the sales of melons and fruits; The service area is a centralized place for rest and refueling, with high consumer demand and convenience.
From this point of view, although this person's idea was accidental, it was also the business philosophy of the roadside stall that was randomly transplanted to a place where the flow of customers gathered.
If you set up a stall in other public areas, it is easy to be regarded as occupying the road; But setting up a stall in a consumption concentration such as a service area has unexpectedly become a successful attempt.
However, there are indeed many doubts about this. After all, the service area is still within the scope of operation of the expressway, and there are many restrictions. If the business entity is indiscriminately added, it may cause the order of the service area to be affected.
Moreover, the person's individual operation failed to meet the necessary conditions such as health review and license registration.
Once a violation is investigated, not only will the efforts to make money be wasted, but the high penalty may also make the harvest go to waste. As you can seem, even if it seems like easy money, if you don't have the necessary careful planning, you can still end up falling short.
It is not difficult to find that in the process of fermenting the incident, there have also been many interesting discussions and debates on the Internet. Someone joked that this person picked up a big sesame seed, although he earned 1,800 yuan in cash, but if he was charged 3,000 yuan by the expressway, he would lose money.
Some people also admired the man's courage to do things, praised him for daring to do adventures that ordinary people could not try, and predicted that if he continued to do this for a long time, he would be able to save a down payment for a house in three or five years.
It can be seen that even if it is attracted by a momentary opportunity, it is not all brainless support for its temporary behavior. On the positive side, this man is indeed a fighter who has the courage to innovate and is good at seizing business opportunities.
He was not constrained by the barriers of the highway, but made full use of the existing resources and geographical location to achieve short-term profits. This keen sense of smell and resolute style is undoubtedly worthy of our reference and learning on the road of entrepreneurship and innovation.
However, if you ignore the bottom line and the law in order to make money for a while, and have a risk-taking spirit and ignore the overall situation, it is really not the best policy.
Only by scientifically analyzing the situation and clarifying the feasibility and legal compliance can we truly avoid hindrance in the entrepreneurial process and achieve long-term development for the camp step by step.
It is true that this incident provided a lively and interesting topic for netizens and viewers, and everyone also expressed their emotions from multiple angles.
This kind of discussion atmosphere of brainstorming and expressing their opinions just makes the incident not only a hot spot on the Internet, but also shows the public's benign cognition and attitude expectations for economic development and innovation.
We hope that through this atmosphere of discussion, new ideas can be guided, so that entrepreneurship and innovation can develop better on the track of compliance. Both individuals and enterprises should learn from the valuable experience of attaching equal importance to profit and compliance, and take into account the overall situation in addition to opportunities, so as to become a responsible new economy.
