Let the successful opening of the "mouth", the waste apricot core on the ground becomes 8000000 US dollars

Recently, I listened to the stories of two Yiwu people, and reflected many human philosophies in them.

The first Yiwu man, named Lou Zhongping, started by producing drinking straws. At first, the profit from producing a straw was only 8 millimeters (8% of a penny), but he built a successful edifice in his life with the profits of this 8 millimeters. At present, he owns Yiwu Shuangtong Daily Necessities Co., Ltd., is the world's largest manufacturer of drinking straws, with 60 production lines, 90% of the straws are sold all over the world, daily exports of straws 8 tons, the annual output accounts for more than 1/4 of the global straw demand, and the monthly profit reaches 400,000 yuan.

At first, Lou Zhongping rented two bungalows, bought two machines, and worked with his wife day and night on straws, and his fingers hurt. Just after making a little money, the financial crisis broke out, the price of plastic raw materials rose sharply, and many straw factories changed their careers. But Lou Zhongping firmly believes: "Straws are consumables and in high demand. As long as you pass this hurdle, you must have money to earn. With this belief, he survived and made the straw industry bigger.

When the Internet was still a new thing, he put straw information on the Internet. Relying on the Internet, he has sold straws all over the world, and the volume of e-commerce accounts for more than half of the company's total business volume. A small straw has won the glory of the cause. Lou Zhongping's success story gives us profound enlightenment:

Don't take small things lightly, small things can also achieve great things. In life, those who create great undertakings do not all earth-shattering big things, they often start from small things, put one after another easy to do small things, patiently do a good job, do perfectly, and then use this beautiful little thing to build a successful building in life.

One step ahead of others, it may be a big deal to surpass others. People who give up at any time may give up the opportunity to succeed.

Another Yiwu man named Mao Yingli made a living selling fried melon seeds. Once, he went to Xinjiang to pick melon seeds, and saw that the people of Xinjiang made apricot meat into fruit, and the shell of the apricot core was too hard, so he threw it all away. Looking at the apricot cores on the ground, Mao should be ideal, if these apricot cores can also be fried like melon seeds, how good it would be! In order to test his idea, he flew directly from Xinjiang to Beijing with the apricot core and asked the Agricultural University for identification. After testing, the result is that the amygdala is not only edible, but also has high nutritional and medicinal value. So he bought a large number of apricot kernels from Xinjiang and transported them back to Yiwu. He fried countless apricot kernels day and night, experimented with countless frying techniques, and finally let the hard shell open the "mouth". Once the product is launched, the market is in short supply. The apricot core, which had been abandoned on the ground, flew over the ocean and generated $8 million a year in revenue for Mao.

Let's look for the answer to Mao's story:

Be a person with a heart for life. A philosopher once said: Garbage is a misplaced treasure. In the eyes of people with hearts, even if it is garbage that has been discarded by people, it can find its value.

Success belongs to those who are prepared. To succeed, you need to be well prepared for success. Success starts with trying. As long as you have the courage to try, many impossibleies will become possible. Persistence will eventually allow success to open its mouth.
