Foundations for Entrepreneurs In order to encourage entrepreneurs, government departments and some entrepreneurs who love public welfare have successively established entrepreneurial foundations. In addition to providing small interest-free loans, these foundations have gradually expanded their business scope to include student aid, medical care, Poverty alleviation and so on. For entrepreneurs, because there are units like foundations, they can at least have less hesitation and more encouragement on the road to entrepreneurship.

I am a very lucky person. I will never let down everyone who has helped me.

Two days and two nights have passed, and Zhou Xin just spent time in the workshop, watching the discarded steamed food being moved away one by one. "Several tons of flour were wasted like this. The steamed food made from flour and tomatoes was impossible to see. It was covered with holes and looked very poor." This was Zhou Xin's first order, but the production was so unsatisfactory. smoothly. At that time, Zhou Xin felt that she could not hold on anymore.

But fate is sometimes a strange thing. If you don't give up, there will be a miracle. "Reduce the fermentation time, reduce the air pressure, and change the ratio." Beautiful tomato steamed food finally came out. Look at those tomato steamed food. , Zhou Xin burst into tears. She didn’t cry when she was nervous, she didn’t cry when she was anxious, she didn’t cry when she was disappointed, and she cried when she succeeded.

Now, three years have passed since this incident, and the turnover of Xinkelu Food Co., Ltd. founded by Zhou Xin has reached 7 million. Staff from the Tianjin Youth Entrepreneurship and Employment Foundation told reporters from Xiaokang Caizhi that they had supported entrepreneurs, and they were all full of praise for Zhou Xin's company. Zhou Xin said: "In addition to good luck, my current results come more from the help I received." All the hardships I experienced at that time have turned into a valuable wealth of experience, and Zhou Xin is very good at it. Local collection and fermentation.

Picking up leaks

Zhou Xin is a typical post-80s generation. She grew up with the love of her parents. She majored in broadcasting at university and interned at the Economic Broadcasting Station of Tianjin People's Broadcasting Station after graduation. During her internship, she got acquainted with the general manager of an agricultural and sideline products company. Zhou Xin learned from the manager of the agricultural and sideline products company that many of the organic vegetables sold by the company could not be sold because they did not look good, and a large amount of organic vegetables were wasted. .

So Zhou Xin came up with an idea to squeeze these unsightly organic vegetables into juice and use them to make steamed food, which is beautiful, nutritious and delicious. In order to verify whether there was a market for her idea, Zhou Xin began to visit major supermarkets and markets, chat with aunts and aunts when she saw them, and judge the market potential of the steamed food she wanted to make from their needs.

After some investigation, Zhou Xin felt that this project was good and capable. In a short period of time, Zhou Xin quit her job and started her own business to the surprise of her relatives and friends.

Registering a company requires 1 million capital. "If you don't have any money, just borrow it." "I have never seen so much money in my life, two big bags full." Zhou Xin deposited the money in the bank , on December 1, 2009, she had her own company-Xinkelv Food Co., Ltd.

As for the reason why she chose to make organic vegetable steamed food and was doing so well, Zhou Xin felt that she had missed something. The steamed food market in China is a mature market with so many varieties that it is difficult to stand out from the competition. . She feels quite satisfied that Xinkelu has been able to achieve a turnover of 7 million yuan in three years.

Warmth

During the interview, Zhou Xin kept emphasizing one thing, "I cannot be where I am today without the help of many people."

Initially Zhou Xin mainly sells steamed food in the form of gifts, making a lot of profits quickly. However, in order to make Xinkelu known and recognized by everyone, Zhou Xin feels that it is necessary to establish a franchise store, but she lacks money and experience. . At this time, she found the Tianjin Youth League Municipal Committee and submitted a business plan. Soon, she heard back.

The Tianjin Youth Entrepreneurship and Employment Foundation under the Tianjin Youth League Municipal Committee gave Zhou Xin a free loan of 60,000 yuan to build a store. At that time, Zhou Xin spent 170,000 yuan to build the store. Although 60,000 yuan is only a small part of it, it is also an indispensable part.

Compared with being able to obtain free small loans, Zhou Xin feels that the Youth League Committee has given her more help in other aspects. "I have never studied business management and didn't know how to register a company. The leader of the Youth League Committee sent a specialist to work with me to help me from the early registration to all subsequent procedures." Regarding this, Zhou Xin still The memory is still fresh, and, "Every time I encounter difficulties, I find the Communist Youth League Committee and the foundation, and they will find ways to help me."

"There have been many difficulties along the way, but the help I have received is more "More." So Zhou Xin has always been running the company with a grateful attitude. "This is my brand" is what Zhou Xin has always repeated to herself.

In the first 8 months, I worked alone, with no time to eat or sleep. Later, I met a like-minded girl who is now my assistant. Later, I met another girl. He became an experienced sales expert and is now the vice president. Later, he met a Swiss food expert, developed many new formulas, and obtained many patents. As of 2011, Xinkelu has retailed nearly 200 products such as green steamed food, organic grains, meat, eggs, and milk through group purchases and stores.

“If it hadn’t been for the help of the Youth League Committee and the Foundation, I don’t know if I would have persisted until today.” Zhou Xin said.
