Ching Ming Qingming. Almanac wrote: It is advisable to sacrifice, cooking stoves, digging wells, bogey marriage, burial. For those who are not in Shanghai, they either go home to their graves or have friends and relatives. Zhang June invited in Shanghai High School http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/32280.html "> Classmate Party, for another high school classmate Chen off."

Chen is about to leave Shanghai, Immigration Canada card Calgary. Calgary is Canada's third-largest city, and because of its oil boom, it is Canada's energy capital. Chen is a skilled worker, and he is majoring in HVAC, and Calgary is an energy city that requires professionals. Chen said he was going there to be an engineer and to open a Chinese restaurant where there was a "Chinatown" with more than 2000 Chinese.

In fact, although he was reading a professional, but do technical work is a long time ago. His first job after graduation was a large central enterprise in Wuhan, Hubei province. He was recruited as a cadre of reserve personnel, but he stayed there for less than half a year and chose to leave. The boss is very important to him, but 800 dollars of monthly salary, central culture also let him feel quite depressed. He chose to go to Siemens to do the sales, he was very clever and glib, and soon took a firm footing, but with greater ambition, so he stayed there less than a year left.

2000, Chen came to Shanghai to start a business, entrepreneurial field is the popular Internet. At that time, the first wave of the internet was still surging, the slightest sign of bubble burst. There was a joke at the time that every tree had a venture capitalist, and he was ready to jump and throw money at people who were doing the internet. Chen was young, and catching up with the scene, natural feeling very good, still remember to go to the western suburbs of his office, he sat boss chair, confidently said: "I want to be a great company." "He told me his dream:" One day, I want to go to Harvard Business School, like Zhang, to talk about his success, and of course go to Harvard to do an MBA. ”

However, such a good day did not last long, the internet wave burst, he was forced to shut down his internet company. This is his most painful period of time, not only upfront investment, but also owed a lot of money. Reluctantly, he chose to go to a printing company to work, the printing company's boss is his fellow, also very take care of him, his learning ability is very strong, soon in this industry stand firm heel. Years began to ease his entrepreneurial pain, he no longer keen on the grand narrative before, began to run their own lives. He was married and his son was born, and he loved his son. He began to like playing cards, often play mahjong all night, the night does not belong to, for this also made some family disputes.

However, his entrepreneurial dream has not been dashed. A few years later, he opened a sales of central air-conditioning engineering company, really involved in his undergraduate major, began to start subcontracting works. Because often with a variety of engineering contractors to deal with, he began to socialize at all kinds of dinner, all day thinking about how to do good relations with the Big Boss, share a cup of soup. However, the engineering company, although very hard, has not made money. Entrepreneurship Chen began to fry House, when the price of Shanghai has just begun to uplift, he bought three sets of houses, earn a lot of money, home also moved from Xinzhuang to Xujiahui. He has also invested in a PE project, and his capital has quadrupled several years later. He became the richest man in high school, and everyone thought he was capable.

With the rise of another wave of internet boom, Chen the entrepreneurial dream again.

He wants to be a business-to-business E-commerce site similar to Alibaba, where he has talked to me about business models for business-to-business businesses many times. But I think that project is really not reliable, and he analyzed over and over again why not, each time his project was awarded a useless. He was still so enthusiastic that I couldn't bear to fight his dream again. Later, the project started soon lost hundreds of thousands of yuan, has learned to stop in time Chen quickly chose to withdraw. Think of it more like paying a tuition fee to complete a memorial to the dream of the year.

After more than 10 years of tossing and turning, luckily, Chen finally became a rich man. But he is not very happy, his evaluation is not high: just a no status of the "small Boss", a 820.html "> Endowment insurance is not a" hobo ", what makes money on what to do" speculator. He has been lofty, want to make a great career, he spent the whole youth, but not a career to achieve a true sense of success. Instead, he accidentally inserted Liu to fry room and do PE, did not spend any thoughts, also did not make any relationship, is to throw a little money in, the result is much more than the venture.

Chen chose immigrants. At the same time, "immigrants" are becoming a popular language in the country, with a large number of private entrepreneurs and middle-income earners opting to leave the country. Chen had struggled for this decision for a long time, and he knew that if he chose to go to Canada, he would give up his hand. His heart is unwilling, but the company he founded has not "become great", he is tired of all day to engage in relations, running dinner day. After a tangle of six months, he turned off his company and finally made his own choice: "Newland" to start his own "new life."

When it comes to immigration, Chen says, one is hoping to give his son a normal education; second, because he did not pay endowment insurance when he started his business, he hoped to have a sound social security system in the future, old and worry-free.

I know the whole story, think of every struggle and struggle that he has experienced, faint some sad: these once idealist "sad urge" entrepreneurial story, always so dramatic-pay great efforts, but slow to see the results, have to do some speculative business, but earn a pot full. They are tired, sad, lack of security, ideal broken, and leave, but it is a pain.

Looking at his helpless expression, I can not say the heart of the words, only one sentence: Treasure, Chen. (the author is a senior media person)
