大學生創業如何把愛好變成職業
有人說,千萬別把愛好變成工作,可是下面這位21歲的小夥兒,卻用自己的故事告訴我們,有的時候“愛做什麼”就去做什麼,這才是成功之道!最近,一位21歲的小夥兒剛剛畢業,就為自己買了一套公寓,而更重要的是,買公寓的錢都是他自己掙的。
A 21-year-old recently bought an apartment right after his graduation. More importantly, he bought it with money he earned all by himself. Liu Dun, a finance major at Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, has started up an Internet company and made a fortune.
這位小夥兒就是劉敦***音譯***,畢業於中南財經政法大學金融專業。他自己創辦了一家網路公司,並且因此發家致富。 但是,對他而言,從商賺錢並沒有那麼重要,相比之下,宣傳自己生活的城市讓他更有熱情。
But doing business is not as important to Liu as doing what he is passionate about, which is promoting the city he lives in. Born in Wuhan, Hubei province, Liu has a strong connection to the city. He loves the people there, who are straightforward, which leads many to believe they are rude. He loves the city because of its diversity. He wants to imitate Ma Yun, CEO of Alibaba, who set up a business in his beloved hometown.
作為土生土長的湖北武漢人,劉敦和這個城市“血脈相連”。他喜愛那裡的人,他們的率直甚至讓很多人覺得粗魯。他也喜歡那裡的多姿多彩。他還以阿里巴巴的CEO馬雲為榜樣,因為馬雲也把公司設在自己的故鄉。
Man with a plan
步步為營
In his first two years of college, Liu already started preparing for his start-up business. He did internships in Internationale Nederlanden Group, a Fortune Global 500 company, trying to learn from these industry leaders. “Though the cost was high – several thousand yuan for registration – the experience was very rewarding,” he says.
早在大一、大二的時候,劉敦就已經開始為創業做準備。他曾在名列財富全球500強的荷蘭國際集團實習,希望能向這些業界領袖們學習一二。他說,“雖然成本很高,註冊登記需要好幾千元,但是相比積累的經驗,還是很值得。”
Liu was able to take a close look at these companies, their structure, and how their employees cooperate with each other. Most importantly, his hard work caught his boss’s attention, who later wrote a recommendation letter for Liu and introduced him to entrepreneurs and investors.
實習期間,劉敦得以近距離觀摩各個公司,熟悉公司架構,瞭解員工協作狀況。更重要的是, 他的努力引起了老闆的關注,後者為他寫了推薦信,將他介紹給其他商人與投資者。
