lately,
The post-90s couple graduated from Shandong University of traditional Chinese medicine,
Because he gave up medicine and set up a stall to sell fried dough sticks
Her husband Ren Xiaomeng majored in traditional Chinese medicine and her wife Ren Wenya majored in nursing. However, neither of them worked in the medical industry, but set up a stall near the convenience market in Shuiming street, Changqing District, Jinan to sell fried dough sticks.
Give up your major in college,
But setting up a stall to sell fried dough sticks earns 300000 a year,
Is this worth the heated discussion among netizens
It is understood that Ren Xiaomeng and Ren Wenya got married on February 11 this year and ended their seven-year love run. Their 'career' of fried dough sticks has also sprung up, with an annual income of 300000 yuan.
Deep fried dough sticks were sold in Kwai Tiao for two months. Ren Xiaomeng also received more than 30 apprentices throughout the country.
Did not enter the medical industry, but set up stalls on the streets
At 6:30 a.m. on June 18, the reporter rode a motorcycle for 34 kilometers to the intersection of Jingshi West Road and Shuiming street in Jinan. He saw Ren Xiaomeng and Ren Wenya who were setting up a stall to sell fried dough sticks. They were busy frying fried dough sticks and collecting money, while the early stall lined up a long line.
After closing the stall, Ren Xiaomeng talked about his experience in setting up a stall.
'because my family is rural, I thought I could be a teacher or doctor when I took the college entrance examination in 2011, so I applied for the major of traditional Chinese medicine in Shandong University of traditional Chinese medicine.'
Ren Xiaomeng, who was born in 1990 in Shanghe County, Jinan City, said that he had only been admitted to a junior college and had to study for three years, and he had his own 'business experience' during his university.
"I've sold fans, Mats and umbrellas. I feel I can do whatever I want in business."
In his sophomore year, Ren Xiaomeng began to 'do business' on campus. He went to the west market to buy a batch of electric fans, and then took the bus to set up a stall on campus to sell fans, so as to earn the price difference. At this time, Ren Xiaomeng realized the truth that "how much ability there is, how much income there is".
When he graduated in 2014, Ren Xiaomeng applied to a pharmaceutical enterprise like other students majoring in traditional Chinese medicine. However, after he worked as a 'technician' in a pharmaceutical enterprise in Jinan for a period of time, he left because of his low income.
"Later, I went to a pharmaceutical company in Beijing to do sales. After a month, I found that my temper could not be a pharmaceutical representative." Ren Xiaomeng said that his education was low, he could not enter large hospitals, and the income of grass-roots medicine was very low. In the end, he did not enter the medical industry.
What exactly should I do?
Ren Xiaomeng thought of setting up a stall to start a business, but his parents opposed it at first. However, he persuaded his parents to set up a stall on the street of Changqing to sell Shanghe specialty horseshoe pancakes. Another reason is that the girlfriend he talked about in his sophomore year is still in Shandong University of traditional Chinese medicine. He also set up a stall in Changqing to take care of his girlfriend.
Get up early every morning
I only took a week off when I got married
"The horseshoe pancakes that sell well in Shanghe can't be sold in Changqing." Ren Xiaomeng said that at first, they could sell horseshoe cakes through the streets, but not many people bought them, so they couldn't make money. However, Ren Xiaomeng and his parents changed to sell Shanghe old tofu, but the business was still tepid.
Around 2016, Ren Xiaomeng has been studying what to sell by setting up stalls. " My mother had made fried dough sticks before, so I followed my mother to learn how to make fried dough sticks. " Ren Xiaomeng said that he soon learned how to make fried dough sticks and improved some formulas to make fried dough sticks crisp and delicious.
"I have to get up at two or three o'clock in the morning, set up a stall and start frying fried dough sticks. I have to be busy until 8 o'clock in the morning, and then I have to meet the fried dough sticks the next day in the afternoon." Ren Xiaomeng said that they are vendors and have no fixed place, but they should withdraw their stalls according to the time specified by the urban management department. In order to earn more money, he had to go out early. Ren Xiaomeng formed the habit of getting up early.
"In 2017, after graduation, I first went to the East Hospital of Shandong provincial hospital for internship, because I had blood sickness, so I didn't work as a nurse."
Ren Wenya, born in 1993, comes from Heze City. She said that after her internship, she decided to set up a stall to sell fried dough sticks with Ren Xiaomeng. Therefore, the two people worked from morning to night to jointly operate the breakfast stall.
The business of breakfast stalls is getting better and better, and Ren Xiaomeng's relationship with Ren Wenya has also entered a sweet period. On February 11, 2019, they got married with a license, but they set up a stall to sell fried dough sticks after only a week off.
Foreign netizens came here through live broadcast
The reporter of life daily noted that when the couple set up a stall to sell fried dough sticks, there was a mobile phone on the tripod behind the stall, and Ren Xiaomeng often came to the mobile phone to interact with netizens.
"Two months ago, when I went to a master who made oil cakes to study, I saw that the teacher was broadcasting the process of making oil cakes." Deep fried dough sticks were sold in Kwai APP, Ren Xiaomeng said.
Deep fried dough sticks registered by Ren Xiaomeng, which is Kwai Chung, has attracted 20 thousand of the users in 2 months. There are also more than 30 netizens in the country who come to Changqing to learn fried frying techniques. My hometown is Tianjin, I want to learn it from Kwai soon. Near the breakfast stall, many foreign apprentices were watching the skills of fried dough sticks. One of them, a 48 year old man, said that he had been here for several days and wanted to learn the skills of fried dough sticks to make money.
What attracted the attention of foreign netizens? The reporter learned that foreign netizens envy the income of this' post-90s' couple from setting up a stall to sell fried dough sticks. " It only sells 800 pieces a day and 1000 pieces a day on weekends. " Ren Xiaomeng said that the annual income of setting up a stall to sell fried dough sticks can reach 300000 yuan.
When it comes to future planning, Ren Wenya plans to sell fried dough sticks in a fixed room, while Ren Xiaomeng plans to run a snack training school. For the controversy on the Internet about the two people abandoning medicine and setting up a stall to sell fried dough sticks, Ren Wenya said that the industry is not high or low, and 360 lines produce the top players. No matter what industry they are engaged in, they need a persistence.
Dialogue parties:
Is it a shame to set up a stall to sell fried dough sticks?
Reporter: netizens are controversial about the two of you starting a business and setting up a stall to sell fried dough sticks. How did you face these disputes?
Ren Xiaomeng: when I started my business, there were more disputes than now, because my family was rural, and the thought of the villagers was very feudal. They don't understand that a college student has to set up a stall to sell fried dough sticks instead of looking for a decent job. At that time, many people said that I wanted to start a business, so I didn't worry about what others thought. I've been in business, I've been to fairs, I've been to alleys, I've set up stalls, and I've done everything. I now earn money by frying fried dough sticks. My income is twice, three times or even higher than that of migrant workers (peers).
Reporter: is it a matter of losing face to set up a stall to sell fried dough sticks?
Ren Xiaomeng: people say that mature people can lower their heads. Only those who can put down their face and make money are called mature. No line in line 360 is cheap, but their contributions are different.
College students set up stalls to sell fried dough sticks = college read for nothing?
Reporter: some netizens said that after graduating from University, they set up stalls to sell fried dough sticks, and junior high school students can do it. Did they read in vain?
Ren Xiaomeng: junior high school students can do this. But those who sell fried dough sticks are not the same as those who sell fried dough sticks. They are the best. I said to earn 300000 (a year). Many people don't understand that (others will think) they are just fooling around here. If everyone can earn 300000 from selling fried dough sticks (a year), many people don't do other jobs and come to fry fried dough sticks.
Compared with junior high school students, people who have gone to college may have different ideological realm, so my fried dough sticks are different from those of other families.
Reporter: what's the difference between you and junior high school students selling fried dough sticks?
Ren Xiaomeng: from the beginning of my business, I publicized our products on the Internet. Whether I started selling baked cakes, or selling Shanghe old tofu in the middle, and now I sell fried dough sticks, I publicize it through the Internet. At first, QQ group and post bar (propaganda) were launched. Now there are live broadcasting platforms. I will use Kwai Fu (propaganda).
Reporter: your husband and wife set up a stall to sell fried dough sticks, which is similar to that of Peking University graduates. What do you think of Peking University Graduates selling pork?
Ren Xiaomeng: a graduate of Peking University who sells pork. He is my idol. I knew long ago that he sold pork. Now he has opened a chain store, which is no worse than anyone. People have also caused a lot of controversy when selling pork. I just want to develop like him, but I'm not sure whether it can develop, but I'll try my best to learn from him.
