Chapter 990 No One Can Succeed Casually
<"readability-styled"style=":inline;">As Li Dong stepped onto the stage, the audience applauded for a long time.
The student guests who came today, not to mention graduates, those who did not graduate, almost all came for Li Dong.
The applause lasted for a long time.
Li Dong on the stage also bowed slightly to express his gratitude.
It wasn't until the applause faded away that Li Dong said with a smile: "Thank you for your love, every time you go to Jiangda, you can feel this kind of enthusiasm.
Just before entering the auditorium, a school girl said that I was the most handsome, and I have not calmed down until now. This is probably the whitest lie I have heard in the past few years. "
"Hahaha……"
There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and someone shouted: "Senior Li, you are the most handsome!"
Li Dongchao cupped her hands to the girl who spoke, and said with a smile: "Just for this, I have to say something carefully today, or you will scold me later."
Laughter wafted through the auditorium again.
Li Dong paused and continued: "Before going on stage, the principal asked me to say a few more words, and I readily agreed, but in fact I really didn't think about what to say.
Talk about life perception?
I don't seem to be qualified to talk about this point. After all, I am only 23 years old, and the teachers of Jiangda University have a deeper understanding than me.
Talk about the truth of being a human being?
This is not necessary, our parents and teachers have taught us this since we were young.
How to be a person, how to be a good person, how to be a successful person, in fact, everyone knows.
I won’t give you chicken soup for the soul. If you drink too much, you may forget about it when you wake up later. "
There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and someone said: "School Li Dong, let's talk about your journey to becoming the richest man, we all want to hear it!"
The person who spoke was a master student, aged twenty-six or seven.
In fact, by this time, everyone is no longer a child, and is more realistic.
The chicken soup is delicious, but what to do after drinking it.
Talk about Li Dong's entrepreneurial journey, talk about Li Dong's road to wealth, this is what everyone wants to hear.
Even if you can't copy it, you can learn from it.
Hearing people say this, Li Dong laughed and said: "In this kind of occasion, wouldn't talking about money be a bit vulgar?
After all, it is a palace of knowledge..."
Just when everyone was disappointed, Li Dong laughed again: "Forget it, let's talk about this. Besides, I'm a layman, and the smell of copper is the smell of copper. It just so happens that I am also good at this."
Laughter resounded in the auditorium again, and even the teachers of Jiang University were smiling.
They are all adults, not primary school students.
Is it vulgar to talk about money?
Vulgar, vulgar!
But you are about to enter the society, or some people have already entered the society. If you still feel this way, you are really stupid.
Daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, food, clothing, car, and house, all of which don’t cost money.
No money, you talk about life, talk about sentiment, is it interesting?
The reason why Li Dong is so famous is not because he invented something, nor because he is knowledgeable. In terms of knowledge, Jiang University has a lot of professors and academicians.
I came to Li Donglai just to talk about getting rich and starting a business.
Everyone is familiar with some situations in the distance, but after all, they are all circulated on the Internet, so it is not as wonderful as Li Dong's personal testimony.
If you can learn something, everyone can live a better life in the future.
As Li Dong spoke, everyone gradually quieted down.
Seeing this, Li Dong smiled and said: "These days, the word "richest man" has always been with me, to be honest, I'm getting tired of hearing it now.
But it’s still quite refreshing, after all, it’s the first time, this road is not easy.
Some people may want to curse when they hear this, isn't it easy?
You, Li Dong, have the nerve to say this?
You started your business in 2004 and became the richest man in 2008. Is this not easy?
Do you also think so? "
"No!"
Li Dong smiled and said: "Don't deny it, there must be. If it were me,
I have to scold the street, I became the richest man in 4 years, it's not easy to say, it's nonsense. "
Everyone laughed.
Li Dong continued: "But I'm not lying, it's really not easy, maybe it's easier for others, but for me, it's really difficult.
Everyone's success, regardless of luck or family background, is hard-won.
In 2004, I was still a senior in high school.
Do you know how I got my first pot of gold? "
Speaking of Li Dong's first pot of gold, someone immediately said: "Open a supermarket!"
"I don't think so?"
Some people also questioned how to open a supermarket without money.
However, many people are really curious about Li Dong's first pot of gold.
Some people on the Internet said that his parents gave him his first pot of gold, while others said that he borrowed it from someone and opened a supermarket directly.
After all, Li Dong was still relatively young at the time, and few people knew about his lobster sales.
In fact, few people know this fact. Many people know that when Li Dong was rich, it was after he opened a supermarket.
Including Sun Tao, parents, Qin Yuhan, these people know that Li Dong is rich, and Li Dong has completed the accumulation of original capital.
Later, everyone asked about it, and Li Dong said a few words casually, but it was limited to those who were close to him.
In 2004, the information was not clear enough, and some people checked it later, but Li Dong didn't contact many people at the beginning.
Few really knew that he made money from lobster.
Even those seafood vendors don't know very well. They may know that Li Dong has made money, but everyone doesn't know how much he made.
Li Dong pressed his hands, interrupted everyone's discussion, and said with a smile: "The first pot of gold did not come from the supermarket, that was later.
In fact, in April 2004, I started to accumulate capital.
Everyone knows that my parents are vendors in the vegetable market. They are engaged in aquatic products and deal with fish and shrimp all day long.
Me too, I grew up in the vegetable market.
The first time I made money in my life was the experience I learned from my parents.
At that time, I was still in my third year of high school, and I was about to take the college entrance examination.
At that time, it was popular to eat crayfish in Pingchuan, and this trend began after April.
In Pingchuan, the retail price of crayfish was around 6 or 7 yuan at that time, and the wholesale price also reached 5 yuan.
But you know, Dongping is also my hometown, how much is the price of lobster there?
Go to the countryside to collect, 50 cents a catty!
To get the goods from the wholesaler, it is generally more than 1 yuan, and no more than 2 yuan.
The huge price difference made me see business opportunities.
At that time, without telling my parents and teachers, I started a lobster reselling business.
Buy tens of thousands of catties of lobsters from Dongping every day, transport them to Pingchuan for sale, and earn tens of thousands in a day.
But it was really hard at that time. Don't look at my current situation. At that time, I had to get up at two or three o'clock every day to buy goods, and then I had to drive from Dongping to Pingchuan by car.
After finishing my work every day, when I get home, I have to read and review to prepare for the college entrance examination.
At that time, the daily rest time did not exceed 4 hours, and such a day lasted for more than a month.
Later, in order to expand the scale, I traveled to several other counties under the jurisdiction of Qingyang, wearing out a pair of shoes almost a week.
I think that many people should not have this experience now, the soles of the shoes are worn out, have you ever felt it?
It's not that they have been worn for too long, new shoes are worn out in a week.
However, it is precisely because of this that I quickly completed the accumulation of the first pot of gold. When the business ended in June, I earned more than 2 million! "
Almost everyone on the field heard about this for the first time.
Everyone was a little surprised, it turned out that Li Dong earned his first pot of gold in this way.
Li Dong said with a smile: "I said this not to complain to everyone, saying that it was not easy back then.
I just want to tell everyone that no one can succeed casually.
In fact, I was not the only one who discovered the business opportunity at the beginning. Some people were afraid of trouble and were too lazy to do this.
Some people don't have the guts to do it. Although it seems to make money, what if it loses money? What if it can't be sold?
There are also some people who don't take it seriously at all, because they are lazy, too lazy to be busy with these things, too lazy to deal with people, too lazy to open the market at both ends...
As a result, everyone has seen that I became the richest man, while these people continued to be lazy and timid.
Maybe they prefer this kind of life, but for students who want to make a career, laziness is definitely not a thing.
As for courage, it depends on the individual, if you think you can do it, then let it go. "
Li Dong's words are sincere, maybe he has the advantage of rebirth in it, and can be the first to see the opportunity first.
But at that time, it was no big secret that crayfish were selling well in Pingchuan.
Some people knew it, like some vendors in Dongping, they all knew that when Li Dong bought the goods, even the vendors had mentioned it.
But these traders either don't have the courage to do it, or they don't even find it troublesome to make an extra trip.
Many people know that they know it, but they always think that it is a rumor, and it is only a few hours away, but almost no one goes to Pingchuan to ask about the situation.
And if other people are reborn, they may also find it troublesome, thinking that selling lobsters is not up to the mark, and thinking that once reborn, they should do some lofty things...
If you can really do this kind of thing early in the morning and in the dark, even if you think it makes money, not everyone is willing to do it.
In terms of enduring hardship, Li Dong thinks he can still do it.
But some of the current graduates don't even have the advantage of rebirth, and they don't even want to suffer.
A person who cries for his father and mother when he does a little work, such a person will not succeed even if he is given a chance.
According to Li Dong's family background at that time, he was penniless, and these people would not be able to seize the opportunity when they went back, and they were struggling to live a well-off life in the future.
Everyone in the audience discussed in low voices for a while. Some people were deeply moved, but some people didn't care about it. Instead, they asked curiously: "Brother Li Dong, did you have a business license at that time? Did you pay additional taxes?"
"puff!"
Many people laughed, and the focus of this seems to be wrong.
The richest man Li is talking about the spirit of hard work and hard work, how did it become like this.
Li Dong didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Of course I don't have a business license, but I didn't pay taxes in the early stage, and I still paid back when I made money later.
I didn't think so much at the time, so I seized the opportunity first.
It is not to encourage everyone to operate without a license, but the situation at that time was different, please understand.
In addition, Governor Wang is here, everyone, don’t try to tear me down, or it won’t look good if Governor Wang asks someone to fine me later. "
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed, and Wang Hongyun also chuckled softly: "Li Dong, you really need to be fined and banned, but it's too late now, so you still need to be fined.
It just so happens that the food stalls on the commercial street are going to be remodeled recently, and you started out with lobsters in the distance, so you have to do something about it. "
Li Dong laughed as soon as he heard it: "No problem, we have paid for the renovation of the road at the food stall."
For the matter of several hundred thousand, Li Dong understood that it was Wang Hongyun who gave him a step down.
In the same way, Li Dong also said that sentence on purpose, just to smooth out what happened at the beginning.
Operating without a license is not a big deal, but if there is nothing wrong with it, it will be a big trouble if someone finds out in the future.
Taking advantage of today, this matter has been completely resolved, and I won't be afraid of someone making a fuss about it in the future.
Of course, these are off topic.
After talking to Wang Hongyun, Li Dong continued to laugh and said, "Don't talk about this, everyone. I'll talk about my business, how did the road to the richest man come to the present."
"After I had my first pot of gold, I started to do supermarkets.
When I first started working as a supermarket, I never imagined that it would be a few days.
Everyone knows Su Guo, right?
Sunan's overlord retail group, of course, has changed people now.
I remember at that time, when I first started the supermarket, once Sun Tao, who is now the chairman of Yuanfang Supermarket, told me that Suguo was going to expand in Jiangbei.
I remember when I first heard the news, I was terrified. This kind of Big Mac has come to Jiangbei. Is there still a way for us self-operated small supermarkets to survive?
Later, when I found out that Suguo hadn't come, I couldn't be more thankful.
Speaking of this, everyone should understand that I didn't say from the beginning that we should make the supermarket bigger and stronger.
I didn't think about it at all at the time. At the beginning, I didn't even take the supermarket seriously. I just thought it would be good to make some money and provide for my parents' old-age care.
So, sometimes the road is not the way you say, it will follow your plan.
Some students like to do career planning before graduation, and even some companies also have this requirement.
Now that you are working, you must have some future plans. What is your goal in three years?
What is the goal five years from now?
What about ten years from now?
In fact, according to my thinking, these are pure nonsense!
In life, there are too many accidents and opportunities.
Didn't I say I want to be a manager in three years, so I must be a manager. Maybe I will start my own business in three years' time?
In fact, planning is adapted to local conditions and changes over time.
Just like me, 4 years ago, I thought the supermarket business was only temporary, but 4 years later, Yuanfang entered the top three in the department store industry, and even hit the first place. I never thought about this, and I’m afraid everyone didn’t. Pass.
In 4 years, there have been too many changes.
So I agree with short-term planning goals, and making a decades-long career plan is completely useless except for fantasy. "
Many students nodded quickly, they hated this point deeply.
Schools often do this kind of thing, and they have to do career planning. This alone wastes a lot of their time.
After graduation, how many people will follow this plan?
Could it be that when you encounter an opportunity, you will give up and continue to follow your own career planning path?
The students agreed, but the teachers of Jiangda University couldn't laugh or cry, this guy is breaking the stage.
But after all, it is what the richest man said, whether it makes sense or not, just listen to it, and whether it will be changed later depends on the situation. For more exciting novels from rw, welcome to visit our reading institute
