大學(xué)生創(chuàng)業(yè)如何把愛好變成職業(yè)
有人說,千萬別把愛好變成工作,可是下面這位21歲的小伙兒,卻用自己的故事告訴我們,有的時(shí)候“愛做什么”就去做什么,這才是成功之道!最近,一位21歲的小伙兒剛剛畢業(yè),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.
這位小伙兒就是劉敦(音譯),畢業(yè)于中南財(cái)經(jīng)政法大學(xué)金融專業(yè)。他自己創(chuàng)辦了一家網(wǎng)絡(luò)公司,并且因此發(fā)家致富。 但是,對(duì)他而言,從商賺錢并沒有那么重要,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(zhǎng)的湖北武漢人,劉敦和這個(gè)城市“血脈相連”。他喜愛那里的人,他們的率直甚至讓很多人覺得粗魯。他也喜歡那里的多姿多彩。他還以阿里巴巴的CEO馬云為榜樣,因?yàn)轳R云也把公司設(shè)在自己的故鄉(xiāng)。
Man with a plan
步步為營(yíng)
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(shí)候,劉敦就已經(jīng)開始為創(chuàng)業(yè)做準(zhǔn)備。他曾在名列財(cái)富全球500強(qiáng)的荷蘭國(guó)際集團(tuán)實(shí)習(xí),希望能向這些業(yè)界領(lǐng)袖們學(xué)習(xí)一二。他說,“雖然成本很高,注冊(cè)登記需要好幾千元,但是相比積累的經(jīng)驗(yàn),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(shí)習(xí)期間,劉敦得以近距離觀摩各個(gè)公司,熟悉公司架構(gòu),了解員工協(xié)作狀況。更重要的是, 他的努力引起了老板的關(guān)注,后者為他寫了推薦信,將他介紹給其他商人與投資者。
