If there is no good education, almost only the street to start a business this road

A foreigner in Beijing, if there is no good education, but willing to endure hardship, and do not want to go with the flow, to live a better life, almost only left the street to start this road. However, this road is too difficult, Beijing is too big.

I don't know his name, only that he needs someone else to call him "number 66th." He is a technician in a pedicure shop and only when someone calls him that he has money to earn.

The male technician's money is hard to earn. Do not know why, in the foot massage shop, the male guests are willing to point female technicians, female guests are willing to point female technicians. If a female technician is working hard, she can make 8 guests a day. Number 66th per day can only do 4 guests, each guest commission 30, 1 months down, bag eat bag live, net earn more than 3,000 pieces.

Eat is not what delicious, live also is not good to live. Number 66th lives in the lounge at the foot spa and eats the food outsourced by the boss. If it's all right, he won't go out all day. 12 O'Clock to work at 9 o ' clock in the morning and 12 to 4 o'clock in the morning on duty. In the middle, all technicians are in the lounge waiting, have guests to do, no guests to go. Most of my colleagues are young girls from abroad, he is 30 years old, and have a wife and children, naturally it is impossible to become the central figure in the lounge.

The lounge is small, there is no bed, only a few can adjust the backrest of the single sofa. His back, he watches TV. Put down his back and he sleeps.

The days were boring, but number 66th didn't complain. He has experienced ups and downs, know to cherish every lunch box. He has been in Beijing for 10 years, not a bit of insight. He was a pedicure technician, a delivery driver, a kebab stall, and a clothing stall, just a few months ago, when his dream was barely enough to reach. Although the empty, but he and the next to wear the Red Phoenix Fairy outfit is different female technicians. Although the foot bath salt was applied to the guest's leg, he was a man, only 30 years old. There is still time, as long as there is a chance, he may still be able to live in the once thought that will be able to live the day.

"When I first arrived, I had no place to live, and even had no money to eat." Anyway, there are people to send work, also need not to argue with people, say more than a few words, can't less say a few words. At most, a year, and so save some money, but also find another way out. ”

The wind in Beijing is really big. For a foreigner with a high school degree, too few choices. But the luck of number 66th is good, and heart. After a few years of foot therapy, I met a north-east man and started to follow a series of business. Learned the technology, understand the road, and have some relations, he soon began to start their own, in the west of the three Ring Street, opened his own barbecue stall.

"Really, the barbecue is too lucrative, I am ropes." He said, "Wait a minute, I'll pour the water and come back and talk to you." ”

Look at number 66th, it's pretty quick. He was decent, tall, square-faced, big-eyed, articulate, a little bit of a Shandong accent, but certainly not a redneck who had never seen the city. He loved to talk to the guests, but he had nothing to say to the female colleagues next to him. He walked out with a cask, and the girl just sat there, laughing with her head down, and probably thought he was bragging.

"How much can the kebabs make money?" As long as the position is good, summer time, the maximum day net earns more than 3,000 pieces. Tight summer Those months dry, earn more than 10 200,000, winter will have nothing to do. ”

"The most lucrative thing is to bake the stiffened plate. We baked is not the raw plate tendons, is ready-made the cooked plate tendons, and then smoked with Han. A large package of cooked plate, the price of 60 yuan, can sell 300 yuan. The boss likes the guest to point the plank muscle most, a little 10 string, bake very fast. But the plate tendon is not baked, must have the craft, bake tender no taste, bake old bite not move. ”

"The least money is the roast kidney. A roast sheep waist sell 15, really do not make money, are soliciting people use. There are many stalls of the roast sheep waist is false, not sheep waist, is a fox kidney. Yes, the Fox's kidney. A breed of fox with a cheap gut. ”

"Kebab is not so lucrative, and gross margin is only 30%." In fact, the meat string is the first not to eat. The Northeast people do the kebab, the material adds specially ruthless, the light additive has more than 10 kinds. Meat is not necessarily mutton, some duck meat, some beef, each mixed one or two pieces of lamb oil. The most is pork, a part of the pig, called plum meat. You just go to Beijing morning, said you want to buy plum meat, everyone else know what you are. This kind of meat is particularly tender, as long as the ginger juice, salt and soy sauce, and then sprinkle paprika, like mutton, even I can not eat out. ”

"We love cooking vegetables." Also good to do, it will not be an accident, and profiteering. ”

"The most important thing to do is to find a good place to get to know the people around you. It doesn't matter, every day someone come to you trouble, say you have a meat problem, say you did not bake cooked, anyway do not pay, annoying you. ”

In the summer of 2012, number 66th worked hard to save some money, intending to Chine the next store next to the barbecue stall. He foolishly in the West three ring to find a home menlianer, 200 square meters, formerly Noodle noodle Shop, decoration is particularly suitable for fast food. One question, light rent is 1.6 million a year. At this time, number 66th married, with children, he weighed, know to want to settle down, in Beijing is impossible.

By the end of the year, number 66th went back to his hometown. He is a native of Shandong rural people, home 6 acres of land, wheat and corn. Food hit down to sell to the country, a year down is 15,000 dollars, the family is enough, but it is impossible to live better. Number 66th is a great time to make the best of it. "My dream is to return to the hometown, I do not like Beijing." To have a big house in the hometown county, I like to live in a big house, preferably 300 square meters of duplex, and then open an SUV, I am very satisfied. ”

Number 66th went to the county seat. His money is not enough to buy a duplex, but to buy 100 square meters of commercial housing is enough, the rest of the money can also let him use their brains to make a living. After seven or eight years of work, he came back from Beijing, he already did not want to be a minor, to do the big. He in the county the best section of the plate under the best storefront, rent is not expensive, 60,000 a year. He also took out 400,000 decoration, light private rooms have 10. As for inviting people, is not save the cost, two cooks, a garnish, two handyman, plus 5 waiter, a moonlight personnel cost is more than 10,000.

Now, number 66th is already a homecoming boss. His business is very decent, not the kind of casual fly restaurant, is specialized in making public money of the upscale restaurant, in and out of the county are the leading figures. He has all aspects to manage, naturally also must install appearances, then buys the car the money is cannot save. But all is well. The restaurant business is very good, the most time one months can have fifty thousand or sixty thousand of the money, so that the calculation, more than a year will be able to recover costs. He has a car, there is room, as long as can recover the cost, even if a firm footing, so many years ago in Beijing, even if not free, the wife will not have to work again, the children do not have to do a little age left behind children. At the end of the year, stocks were falling, foreign companies were laying off workers, and civil servants were downsizing, but number 66th saw their days crossed better and Bentou.

Now, I can't imagine what 66th was thinking on the day of bankruptcy. He did the same, pinching feet, pat, and boiling water, told guests to eat more fruit to the inside fire. He asked, very thoughtful, like to use frosted cream or essential oil? The essential oil expensive 10 yuan, but also is not very worth, either you still use scrub cream bar. He pressed the footstool, said, endure, do not move, your cervical vertebra not so press will not be good.

He remained a blue-collar work ethic, capable of respecting facts and not lyrical.

At the beginning of the year, the government began to fight corruption and extravagance. Since the Spring Festival, business has plummeted, one day less. Once a day net earn two thousand or three thousand, now day net compensate two thousand or three thousand. After a few months, quickly stretched. He also held a glimmer of hope that there would be a turnaround. He used the last sum of money to buy a few billiard tables, to replace the dining room table, to change the restaurant into a chess room.

"I also want to open Internet cafes, but the Internet bar license is too difficult to grant." The chess room is not as profitable as the restaurant, but looking for someone to send some money to save the tax. ”

One months later, he began to pay no rent. Two months later, he sold his car, packed his suitcase with his wife, and came to Beijing again. He does foot therapy in Wangjing, wife in Lotus Bridge to do beauty, children in Shandong Nursery. They are also old wives, who meet every two weeks.

"Usually on the phone?" ”

"No contact, nothing to say." "He made the effort.

"Aren't you afraid she'll run away with people?" ”

"To tell you the truth, I ran away." "He looked up and smiled," If I hadn't married then, I wouldn't have. If I hadn't had the baby, I wouldn't have had a baby. You said, what about the lineage? A man, I am a person all right, want to do what to do, lose also does not matter. It's not good to have women and children with me now. "Does the wife blame you?" ”

He didn't speak, but he smiled.

"Then what are you going to do?" ”

"I went to the Big foot massage city and asked, one months to give me a minimum of 4500." It's stronger than here, but it's too far to the North six ring. ”

"Do express to earn a little more." I went to shun Fung asked, diligent point one months five thousand or six thousand, but not to eat and live, but also to go back to the police station without criminal record proved, too troublesome. ”

"The store in the old home, now empty in that, turn not to go out." See if the end is due. ”

"People find me in the Shihui of modern city delivery, I do not have a car, do not." ”

"I used to sell clothes at the end of the day and make some money, but now I don't have the capital." ”

"I used to know someone, pull me to their military area to sell barbecue, there will be no chengguan investigation, certainly make money." I'm not doing it, and I'm really sorry. To find a good location, I would also like to dry skewers. ”

"Next year my uncle will be able to choose our Brigade secretary," I told him, can contract 1000 acres of land. If I can, I'll go back and earn five hundred thousand or six hundred thousand a year. ”

He full the plan, and the girl next to him smiled. The first time she opened Scoop, said: "Who do not want to be a multimillionaire ah, but the million-rich are changing their wives." ”

He smiled too. He is not Eti wife, but love to mention the girl. Another two days, is the day of the daughter nursery school. It costs a lot more to wait for the child to learn.

"Will you let her read?" The girl asked.

"Read it." I did what I could for her, I couldn't do it. In the future she will marry, I can not control. "he said.

He added: "But I hope she can study medicine, family have relatives in the county hospital, to graduate directly can arrange work." ”

"It's OK to learn nurses." "said the girl.

"All right, anyway, do not expect her to raise my old." A girl, no way to get rich, also can not make too much pressure. ”

They started talking about the future of a 5-year-old girl. After a while, the Premier League game on TV was over and Manchester United lost 0:1 to Liverpool. Speaking of football, the girl could not speak, he began to talk about his football idol Maozhen.

Maozhen？ It took me a long time to get the name out. It was Zhiyi's contemporaries, and I heard his name in high school. After all these years, number 66th has been watching him, not only knowing that he now teaches football at his hometown's sports school, but even that he is crying at a retired press conference. I remember, he is the same as the number 66th, Shandong, burly, rough skin, is the age of the engineer-type players. He's not much of a talker, but he's in the Premier League and speaks English.

That is to say, he has gone out and seen the world in its vastness.
