今年22歲的潘文偉出生在貴州一個(gè)小縣城的工人家庭,原來(lái)一家五口全靠在供電局當(dāng)技術(shù)工的父親每月1000多元的工資維持生計(jì)。
Pan Wenwei, 22, was born to a worker`s family of five in a small town in Guizhou. His father was a technical worker in the power supply bureau. The father`s monthly salary of 1000 RMB was only income.
2007年,潘文偉考入中大地理科學(xué)與規(guī)劃學(xué)院。來(lái)到廣州后,為了減輕父母的負(fù)擔(dān),潘文偉不但申請(qǐng)了學(xué)校的勤工助學(xué),還四處找機(jī)會(huì)賺錢(qián)。
In 2007 Pan entered the School of Geography and Planning. To reduce the heavy burden on his family, Pan took a part-time job.
2007年底,學(xué)校公開(kāi)招投標(biāo)一些院系的院服訂做項(xiàng)目,潘文偉看到了商機(jī)。
At the end of that year, Pan saw a commercial opportunity. The school put out its college uniform to private tender.
潘文偉首先“摸查敵情”。他從學(xué)生會(huì)的“哥兒們”那里弄到了參與招投標(biāo)公司的名單,并扮成顧客挨個(gè)兒打電話到那些公司問(wèn)出不同質(zhì)量服裝的底價(jià)。然后,他直接在網(wǎng)上查出一些生產(chǎn)商的地址,主動(dòng)上門(mén)與廠家談生意。
With the help of friends in the student union, Pan got hold of a list of companies likely to bid for the contract. .Pretending to be a customer, he called each firm and asked what would be their basic price for manufacturing the uniforms. After that he obtained their company addresses from the Internet and went to work doing business with them.
最后,他這個(gè)“初哥”竟然贏了做了幾十年生意的行家,投下學(xué)校的院服項(xiàng)目。雖然第一個(gè)院服生意只賺了2萬(wàn)元,但這卻讓他在創(chuàng)業(yè)路上找到了感覺(jué)。
To the surprise of many, the freshman triumphed over his more experienced rivals. Despite making just 20,000 RMB, he had established a business.
走向成熟 一下賺50萬(wàn)嚇壞媽媽
Mother`s shock at huge sum of 500, 000 RMB
去年初,潘文偉無(wú)意間認(rèn)識(shí)了一名做安全監(jiān)控設(shè)備的商人朋友,而他此時(shí)又得知中學(xué)“死黨”家中開(kāi)發(fā)的房地產(chǎn)項(xiàng)目正好在招標(biāo)安檢設(shè)備,于是潘文偉充當(dāng)了雙方談判的橋梁促成了這一單生意,競(jìng)標(biāo)成功后,他一下就賺了50萬(wàn)元。
Early last year, Pan made a new friend, a businessman who sold security monitoring equipment. It happened that a middle school classmate of Pan`s had a school classmate had a real estate project which was inviting bids for such equipment. As the go-between, Pan made a cool 500, 000 RMB from the deal.
賺到這筆錢(qián)后,他第一時(shí)間給父母匯去了10萬(wàn)元,嚇得母親驚恐地在電話中問(wèn)了10多次“錢(qián)從哪里來(lái)的”。
The first thing Pan did was send 100,000 RMB to his parents, who were astonished. "Where did you get all this money?" his mother asked, incredulously, over and over.
此后,他陸續(xù)做了外墻磚生意、與朋友合伙開(kāi)酒吧,并開(kāi)始投資股票并利用“第一桶金”繼續(xù)生財(cái)。今年3月,潘文偉還投資了50萬(wàn)元在大學(xué)城開(kāi)了間網(wǎng)絡(luò)公司。
Using this first pot of gold, Pan sidelined into selling tiles for building exteriors, club management and the stock market.
今年9月,潘文偉才升大三,不過(guò)經(jīng)過(guò)短短兩年的打拼,他的總資產(chǎn)已有近300萬(wàn)元。今年初,他在深圳市福田區(qū)購(gòu)置了一套房子,買(mǎi)了一輛轎車(chē),還開(kāi)了一家網(wǎng)絡(luò)公司當(dāng)起來(lái)了大老板。
After just two years, his financial assets now stood at 3, 000,000 RMB. He had bought an apartment in Futian District, Shenzhen, and a car. Earlier in the year he had opened a network company in a large university city, investing about t 500,000 RMB in the project.
然而,當(dāng)他擁有了以前夢(mèng)寐以求的這一切物質(zhì)生活后,卻在好一段時(shí)間里陷入了困惑:“我讀書(shū)為了什么?”今年初有段時(shí)間他突然覺(jué)得很累。此時(shí),有一名老板朋友想把一個(gè)200多萬(wàn)元的項(xiàng)目交給他做,一時(shí)間他產(chǎn)生了退學(xué)專(zhuān)心從商的念頭。
But all this success began to sew seeds of confusion in Pan`s mind. Was it worth remaining a student? Studying and running a business at the same time left him exhausted. When he received a project for 2, 000, 000 RMB he gave serious thought to quitting school altogether.
“可如果現(xiàn)在退學(xué)就只有高中畢業(yè)的學(xué)歷,出社會(huì)后也未必有閑心再回校讀書(shū),過(guò)去的大學(xué)夢(mèng)也就破滅了?!苯?jīng)過(guò)3天的思想掙扎,潘文偉最終選擇繼續(xù)學(xué)業(yè),原因就是“大學(xué)校園給我的財(cái)富是不能買(mǎi)來(lái)的美好青蔥歲月”。
However, in the end he opted to continue with his education. He said to himself, "If I give up now I`ll be nothing but a senior high graduate." He decided to remain true to his old dream of a college education. His idealism played a crucial part: "However much I earned, I would never be able to buy the campus years."
據(jù)了解,潘文偉目前正忙著做男版“杜拉拉”,寫(xiě)一本介紹創(chuàng)業(yè)經(jīng)驗(yàn)的書(shū)。
Reports say that at present Pan is writing a book which shares his experience starting up a business.
